Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Found a treasure this round



William was once again astonished.

For a newly employed tax investigator to become familiar with the National Tax Bureau\'s regulations, procedures, and case handling methods within three months was already quite impressive.

Not to mention solving so many cases in succession.

It seemed that Megan\'s \'struck gold\' was not an overstatement.

Pushing aside the clutter of thoughts, William asked, "Since the credit for these four cases primarily lies with this David, what do you think about the vacancy left by Lewis\'s transfer?"

After a moment of contemplation, Megan replied, "Based on performance, over 800,000 in tax revenue merits a promotion to Chief Tax Officer. However, David is only 25 years old, way too young, and besides, his experience is also somewhat lacking..."

William nodded in agreement.

Nationally, those who can become Chief Tax Officer around the age of 30 are already considered rare talents.

As for those under 30, they are absolutely exceptional, likely not exceeding 30 people within the entire investigative system!

Megan added, "However, we are in extraordinary times. If David can continue to deliver such impressive performance before the next assessment period arrives, an exceptional promotion wouldn\'t be an issue!"

"Right, in these extraordinary times, if he can continue to perform outstandingly, he could serve as an example for tax investigators across the country. The municipal bureau is very likely to approve it!"

When it comes to the reassignment of someone to the level of Chief Tax Officer, strictly speaking, the real decision-making power lies with the municipal bureau.

As the leadership of a sub-bureau branch, they only have the right to recommend.

But generally, as long as the candidate recommended by the sub-bureau branch has sufficient qualifications and performance, and no other major integrity issues, the municipal bureau usually approves it.

The issue with David now is that he has sufficient performance but not enough experience.

However, we are right in the middle of the expansion phase of the Black Tax Act. As long as the performance is exceptional enough, the experience aspect can actually be overlooked.

...

The meeting for the assessment period at the National Tax Bureau Lakeside District Sub-Bureau Branch had already adjourned.

And David was still unaware that he was just a step away from the position of Chief Tax Officer. At that moment, he was with the other seven members of his team inside Lewis\'s office.

"The Deputy Director just called me from Washington D.C., expressing great satisfaction with our bureau\'s performance this time, especially with your performance, David. She even said that when I\'m transferred..."

As he spoke, Lewis suddenly remembered something, and his voice trailed off. Then, he instinctively looked towards Nisen and Bucky.

Indeed, the two Chief Tax Officer candidates seemed to have caught the implication in his words, and their expressions turned somewhat ugly.

"Ahem..."

To avoid further hurting these two, Lewis skipped the topic and continued speaking to David, "This time, our team has secured 150,000 US dollars in public funds. David, just say if you need anything. After all, it was you who fought for it!"

"To speak frankly, Chief, I actually do need to use the public funds!"

As Lewis said, he had fought for the funds, and he wasn\'t about to turn them down.

Additionally, showing that he needed funds was also partly to provide an explanation for cracking other cases in the future. Otherwise, solving big cases so easily over and over again would only raise more and more suspicion.

"Well then, I\'ll allocate 50,000... no, make it 70,000 US dollars to you. Is that enough?"

Hearing Lewis\'s words, Bucky and a few other inspectors all showed pained expressions on their faces.

The public funds amounted to 150,000 US dollars.

And David was taking away 70,000 of that, leaving the remaining three teams with a maximum of just over 20,000 each.

```

But there was no other way.

After all, it was them who had secured the funding. Without them, they wouldn\'t even have $200, let alone the $20,000 they now had.

The inspectors could only console themselves with this thought.

"It\'s enough, Chief Tax Officer!"

Indeed, $70,000 wasn\'t a small amount. In order not to cause dissatisfaction among other inspectors, David readily agreed to it.

Lewis replied, "Alright, let\'s settle on that. These past few days I\'ve been busy with the performance assessment period and haven\'t had the chance to sift through cases in the intelligence department. Tomorrow, I\'ll allocate new cases to you!"

David hesitated for a moment but ultimately held back his words regarding Dieter\'s case.

Since the other party hadn\'t taken the initiative to ask him to handle the case, the implication was clear.

However, looking at it from another perspective, this seemed to be a natural response.

After all, Lewis was about to leave for his promotion to Deputy Tax Inspector.

And Dieter was no ordinary person. If the case against him was mishandled leading to a protracted battle, it could delay the appointment.

And who knew what trouble could arise from tackling Dieter given the Omaha Family\'s influence?

So, it made sense that Lewis would prefer a stable approach to securing tax achievements, even if it meant having fewer accomplishments.

"Let it be, just wait a bit longer..."

David thought to himself that after all, Lewis would be leaving after the next assessment period, and from what he had heard, the Deputy Director seemed to have the intention of promoting him.

If he could solve more cases during this period, perhaps it really would be his turn to move up.

When the time came, if he played his cards right, using Dieter\'s case as a means to establish authority seemed to be a good choice!

...

The next day, David went to the office and received a new case file from Lewis.

Opening the file, he saw 5 photographs of sensuous women, which left him somewhat puzzled.

However, as he reviewed the subsequent information, he began to understand the situation.

According to intelligence obtained by the department, these 5 women were part of the "Fairy Jump" Gang.

They were different from the people of the Island Nation and the Bangguo People.

Island Nationers and Bangguo People targeted tourists, whereas the Scam Gang preyed on everyone, locals and tourists alike, without discrimination!

And as per the information, the gang\'s monthly crime proceeds were at least a staggering $400,000 US Dollars.

"What do you think, shall we take action now?"

After reviewing the information, an eager Nisen looked at David, ready to spring into action.

He had realized that he was unlikely to fill Lewis\'s soon-to-be-vacated position; once David became Chief Tax Officer, they would no longer be constrained by the partner system.

In other words, if David cracked a case in the future, the lion\'s share of tax achievements would be attributed to him.

Therefore, while he still could, he intended to ride on David\'s coattails to claim as many tax achievements as possible.

"Do you have any leads on this gang?"

"Well... no!"

Nisen scratched his head awkwardly. They had only received the case today, and apart from the general information provided, they had no other leads.
