"Everyone has seen it, our Director David has reaped a tax performance of 62.66 million, ranking third nationally. Let's give him a round of applause..."
As William's words came to an end, thunderous applause erupted from the audience.
David immediately rose from his seat and bowed to the people behind him to express his gratitude.
"Alright, let's now report on the situation of each team in our bureau..."
In the following time, William went through the tax collection situation of each team during the appraisal period, criticizing where necessary and offering encouragement where due.
Finally, he came to a point that many people in the room were most concerned about, which was the matter of official funding for this occasion.
"Hmm..."
William cleared his throat slightly, and under the gaze of the expectant crowd, he slowly said, "Due to the substantial new heights reached by this period's tax performance, the official funding has also seen a significant increase. As instructed by the headquarters, our Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch has been allocated 3 million in official funds..."
Upon hearing the amount of 3 million, aside from David and his team, the eyes of the other nine Chief Tax Officers and their team members present all lit up with eagerness.
"This official funding, as Director David's inspection team has contributed the most, hence the seventh team will receive an allocation of 1 million. As for the first team..."
In the time that followed, William began the distribution of the official funds.
As usual, the team with the greatest contribution received more funds, while the less significant ones received less.
Twenty minutes later, the 3 million official funds were officially distributed. William then delivered some motivational words for the new appraisal period, and the appraisal meeting was adjourned.
Many of the high-ranking officials present had risen through the ranks from these branches and still wielded influence over them.
As these branches fell within their spheres of influence, they were naturally vocal in defending their regions' interests.
"I think the branch that performed best is the Lake District Sub-Bureau in Las Vegas. It's a miracle that such a small branch could achieve tax performance of over 60 million!"
As everyone continued to defend their branches, this statement made everyone stop their discussions and turn their heads to look.
Turns out, the one who made this statement was none other than the Deputy Director in charge of the black tax law, Donald Gardner.

"I agree with Deputy Director Donald's words. It is indeed a miracle for a small branch like the Lake District to compete with, and even surpass, some of the large branches like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago."
"The reason the Lake District Sub-Bureau was able to achieve such tax performance is mainly due to that Chief Tax Officer named David. He is a talent, and we should focus on cultivating him..."
"..."
Following Donald's remarks, some of the other senior executives also echoed his words, with quite a few even singing David's praises by name.
"Since we're on the topic of David, let's discuss the 'Shadowy Project.' I'd like to hear everyone's thoughts on who in our Tax Bureau system would be suitable!"
As Obadiah finished speaking, the expressions of the senior officials present changed.
But before long, one of the deputy directors directly said, "Speaking of the 'Shadowy Project,' Brown Soros from the Manhattan Branch has been the number one since the establishment of the appraisal period. I think there's no one more suitable than him!"
"Indeed, in terms of contribution, he is the number one person under our black tax law so far, and in terms of ability, he is now making criminals in the Manhattan District tremble at the mere mention of his name. He is indeed the most suitable person to represent our black tax law."
