Of course, Ducray didn't hope David could get elected; he preferred his own Branch's Bellamy to win, as it would be counted as one of his achievements.
But to freeze someone's funds like this was clearly unreasonable, so he said with a grim face, "Bellamy, David isn't someone to be trifled with. By freezing his tax achievements, he's likely to make a fuss. If this gets to the head office, it will be difficult for me to handle..."
"Director, according to the investigation results from my side, these funds are not collected through the Black Tax Act. They should be funds related to previous tax evasions by GCO Corporation. Therefore, I believe what David did can actually be considered a violation, and even if this goes to the head office, we have solid grounds," Bellamy said.
"Not collected through the Black Tax Act..."
"Giggle giggle giggle..."
Before Ducray could finish his sentence, someone knocked on the door, and he had to stop his train of thought and call out, "Come in."
The next second, his assistant pushed the door open and said, "Director, David from the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch has come to our office and wishes to see you."
Ducray raised his eyebrows, then gave Bellamy a reproachful look as if to say: See, now he has come knocking, demanding an explanation!
"Director, as I said earlier, David's tax collection can be categorized as a violation, and Chief Tax Officer Brown Soros from New York sees it the same way. So, you don't have to worry about any fuss being made at the head office," Bellamy continued.
Ducray looked back at Bellamy; he hadn't expected his subordinate to have teamed up with Brown Soros from New York.
And to his knowledge, Brown Soros from New York had the support of none other than Welton Heng, the National Tax Bureau's Chief Advisor.
Adding to what Bellamy had said about the violation, this matter did indeed have a solid footing.
With this in mind, he nodded and said, "Alright, I know what to do now. Let him come up and see me!"
As Ducray continued to feign ignorance, David explicitly brought up the head office.
Chapter Experience:
Unexpectedly, Ducray remained confident, replying, "We have solid justifications. Even the senior management at the head office won't blame us."
Without responding further, David fixed a dead stare on Ducray.

As the information kept appearing before his eyes, the corners of David's mouth gradually began to rise. He then asked, "Director Ducray, are you sure you want to go through with this?"
He had never taken action against anyone within the National Tax Bureau system before, but if Ducray was going to be uncooperative, he didn't mind teaching him a lesson.
"There's nothing to be sure or unsure of; I've told you, it's just standard procedure," Ducray insisted.
"Well then, Director Ducray, if that is the case, I will take my leave now," David concluded.
As he walked out of the office and approached the elevator, David suddenly thought of something. He found a staff member and said, "Could you please convey a message to Chief Tax Officer Bellamy for me? Tell him I would like to meet him."
