Meanwhile, Brown, who was sitting in the chair, remained indifferent, his face betraying a thoughtful expression.
Strictly speaking, this result wasn't too far beyond his expectations.
Indeed, he had won the top spot for several assessment periods in a row and was the foremost contributor to the Black Tax Bill.
However, the armed operations led by David scored too highly, and then there were the earth-shattering feats like toppling the city halls of two cities or even the Governor.
With such achievements, it came as no surprise that he caught the favor of some high-level officials at the main bureau, even Director Obadiah himself.
"Director, there are rumors that Stevenson was brought down by David. Now it seems quite likely, and if that's the case, David's influence in Nevada must be second to none. He'll be tough to deal with..."
Kelly didn't complain like the others, and her meaning was obvious enough.
That is, their past successes in topping the assessment periods were mainly due to the resources of the super district of Manhattan.
But now, David's influence in Nevada was too great, giving him the resources of the entire state at his disposal.
Although Manhattan had a high economic output and Wall Street, a hen that laid golden eggs, the risks of comparing one district's capabilities to the power of an entire state were definitely significant.
Brown, of course, understood Kelly's point and shifted from contemplation to a furrowed brow.
After a moment, he spoke up, "Contact Charlie Tax Inspector from Queens and tell him I want to have a chat."
...
A new assessment period began, and with the official announcement of Operation God-making from the main bureau, all the Inspectors, along with the newly promoted Chief Tax Officers, were gearing up for a big battle.
Just three days had passed, and Brown Soros had soared to the top of the Inspector's achievement chart with 30 million.
And Bellamy Hattie ranked second with 26 million.
The third place was held by David with 25 million.
The reason David had managed to haul in 25 million in tax achievements in just three days was primarily thanks to the state government's contributions.
When Laurie was successfully installed as Governor, David personally visited him to have a talk, suggesting that he leads some members of the state government to proactively declare their illegal earnings for taxation.
Needless to say, Laurie dared not disobey and, while dutifully leading the state government to comply, also passed the message on to the city halls of various cities.
Seeing that the state government took the lead in paying taxes on illegal income, and with David releasing a message at the start of the new assessment period that he would personally visit any city hall that dared not comply, the officials of the city halls acquiesced.
They promptly reported to their local federal tax bureaus to pay the taxes owed on their illegal income.
David had already established cooperation with all the subdivisions in Nevada. He was entitled to a 60% share of the taxes paid by these officials.
Therefore, these past three days saw David effortlessly collecting 25 million in taxes funneled from various subdivisions.
Around noon, about 500 meters away from the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, Nisen Bakesimmons Ariel and a few others were having a meal in a restaurant.
The next second, Nisen's phone rang, and he immediately set down his knife and fork to answer, "This is Nisen..."
Moreover, the head of a sub-bureau branch was a powerful local official with considerable authority in hand.
As long as David was willing, they couldn't say for others, but getting them directly promoted to the position of Chief Tax Officer was definitely not a big problem!
And if David continued to do a good job as the head of the sub-bureau, and was later transferred to headquarters, bringing them along as well, that would be like their ancestors' graves billowing forth green smoke!
With these thoughts, everyone present felt a surge of excitement in their hearts.
Simmons was especially eager as he spoke, "Yes, Nisen, you have the best relationship with Director David. If he really gets elected, he's sure to take you, but us... you must put in a good word for me."
"Nisen, for the sake of being colleagues, help me out with a few words as well..."
Ariel couldn't sit still any longer.
She was all too aware of her own worth. If she didn't cling tightly to David's coattails, it was difficult not just to be transferred to headquarters, but even to another large city.
"Nisen..."
The rest of the members also began requesting one after another.
At this moment, Nisen felt a wave of elation in his heart, as he not only had the best relationship with David but had also saved David's life in the Dieter case.
If David really got elected, it was unthinkable that he would not take him along!
After indulging himself for a while, Nisen also stood up a little taller and said, "Alright, alright, seeing as we're all colleagues, I'll talk to Director David about this matter for you."
"Thank you so much, Nisen."
"Extremely grateful..."
"..."
Amid the chorus of gratitude, Nisen was lost in it for quite a while before he got up, "Alright, I'll go back to the office now and talk to Director David."
The restaurant was very close to the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, less than a ten-minute walk. Nisen returned to the office, knocked on the door of David's office, then walked in, and said, "Director, Keenan's group has completed their tax payments at the New City District Sub-Branch, and we've received a total of 11 million in tax revenue shares."
David, who was looking at the case files, did not raise his head and casually replied, "Good, 10 million goes under my name, and the remaining 1 million you guys can split."
"There's no need, Director..."
Upon hearing Nisen's response, David couldn't help but lift his head, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's the critical period of the political campaign now, and the announcement from headquarters was that the highest tax performer will be elected. So the few of us in our team have discussed it, and we would like to contribute our share of support for you..."
David understood and felt somewhat touched by the consideration of these team members, and he responded, "Since you all feel this way, then I'll accept this kindness."
Nisen nodded, then added, "By the way, Director, we've discussed another matter and were wondering if it would be convenient for you when the time comes?"
David, looking puzzled, asked, "What is it?"
Nisen scratched his head and said with a sheepish grin, "Well, if you're elected for the political campaign, you'll have to be reassigned as the head of another sub-bureau, right? We were hoping to continue working under you, so..."
