American Tax Officer

```

Hearing David's words, the expressions of Nisenbaki and the others, who were originally happy, suddenly stiffened, and a surge of jealousy arose in their hearts.

They had followed David, and though they hadn't gone through life-and-death experiences, they had unquestionably made significant achievements. Yet, they had only recently been promoted to Chief Tax Officers.

And these two individuals certainly hadn't made as great a contribution as they had. Being suddenly promoted to such high positions naturally made them feel somewhat off-balance.

David noticed these people's thoughts and explained, "Lewis has served as a Deputy Tax Inspector in Detroit. His transfer to serve as a Tax Inspector is procedurally fine. And Inspector Keanu, who has already served as a Tax Inspector in the Avenue District, being transferred to serve as Deputy Director is also the same. Just do your jobs well, and when the time comes, I will ensure your promotions."

After all, Nisenbaki and the others were his trusted aides; he couldn't let them feel disheartened.

Hearing this, the mood of Nisenbaki and the others improved significantly. They also came to their senses.

Because what David said was right, although Keanu and Lewis had been promoted to higher positions, their level had only risen by one rank.

Moving from Inspector to Tax Inspector, let alone Deputy Tax Inspector, meant advancing two levels, an occurrence not easy to arrange procedurally without major contributions or exceptional circumstances.

From David's perspective, promoting them to Chief Tax Officers first and then gradually moving them up was reasonable and not a way to suppress them.

Having understood this, Nisen immediately responded, "We understand, Director."

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Keanu then stood up and said, "Director David, I am very grateful that you have transferred me here."

"Director David, I feel the same. I am very thankful that you thought of me and transferred me here."

Lewis also followed with his thanks.

"Everyone here is an old acquaintance, there's no need for such formality. And you know that I don't have a strong foundation here, so I'll be relying on your help going forward."

"Rest assured, Director David, I've said before, since you have transferred me here, I will certainly do everything I can."

"Me too!"

Both assured him in turn.

David nodded, then picked up the phone: "Tax Inspector Hakim, could you arrange for some people to come over and take our newly arrived Deputy Director, Tax Inspector, and Chief Tax Officers to get acquainted with their offices first?"

Soon, the people arranged by Hakim arrived in the office and took Keanu Lewis and others out.

In the time that followed, those whom David had recruited from various bureaus throughout Nevada State also arrived one after another. It was nearly two o'clock when everyone made their way towards the meeting hall on the seventh floor.

Since the personnel of the Western Suburb Branch were more than twice that of the Lake District Sub-Bureau Branch, their meeting hall was also twice the size.

When David and the others arrived, the Inspectors, Chief Tax Officers, Tax Investigators, and various department staff had almost all gathered.

And as soon as he stepped in, the gaze of everyone present converged on him, sizing up their new Director with his formidable record of achievements.

Having faced the crucibles of big shots and major media at the main bureau, David felt little nervousness under the scrutiny of these people.

He strode to the front, spoke into the microphone: "Good afternoon, colleagues of the Western Suburbs Branch. I am your new Director, and I believe that you've already learned about me through various channels, so I won't spend too much time introducing myself here."

"Next, I will introduce our newly arrived Deputy Director, Tax Investigators, and Chief Tax Officers."

With that, Keanu Lewis, Buckynison, and others walked up to the front one by one.

They hadn't gone through the orientation at the main bureau, so it was evident that Keanu, Lewis, and the others were quite nervous at this moment.

David first walked up to Keanu, pointed at him, and said, "This is our new Deputy Director of the Western Suburb Branch. Come, let our Deputy Director Keanu introduce himself."

Keanu, suppressing the nervousness in his heart, approached the microphone and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Keanu. I was previously serving at the Las Vegas Avenue District Bureau Branch, and I feel honored to be transferred to a large branch like the Western Suburbs Branch to serve as Deputy Director..."

After Keanu finished his introduction, David then pointed to Lewis and said, "This is our new Tax Inspector Lewis; from now on, he will be leading the work of five investigative squads, 12345. Come, let our Tax Inspector Lewis introduce himself to you."

Lewis also approached the microphone, introducing himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Lewis. I previously served in Detroit, and I am also very excited to be transferred to a large branch like the Western Suburbs Branch to serve as a Tax Inspector. In the days ahead, I hope for everyone's guidance..."

In the following time, David introduced the other newly appointed Deputy Tax Inspectors one by one, as well as people like Buckynison who were Chief Tax Officers.

These individuals also took turns stepping up to the microphone to introduce themselves, providing their names and prior achievements.

After everyone had been introduced, David returned to the microphone and said loudly, "I know that this change in personnel may cause some dissatisfaction among you, but there's no helping it. With such a significant platform as the Western Suburbs Branch, it's unacceptable for our tax performance to be so dismal each assessment period. Someone has to take responsibility for this."

"By clearing out these people, we, the new leadership team, now promise to lead all of you in taking the platform of the Western Suburbs Branch to its rightful place in the Tax Bureau system, and even, to create splendid achievements that belong to us all!"

As a leader, the ability to paint a vision is essential.

But what must be said is that David's vision is different from others, with an "ace up his sleeve," he certainly has the ability to make it a reality.

"Applause..."

Keanu and others on the stage began clapping first, and the Inspectors below were also energized, resulting in a thunderous round of applause.

After a while, David continued, "Well, the new assessment period has already started three days ago. Due to the massive personnel changes at our Western Suburbs Branch, we lost those days, so let me explain to you my overall plan..."
