Chapter 263: Chapter 182: Washington D.C. Headquarters Meeting_2
"Bellamy Hattie is indeed not bad; not only is he exceptionally capable, but his image and demeanor are also top-notch. I believe he should be the spokesperson for our blackout tax bill..."
"..."
It was clear that both Brown Soros and Bellamy Hattie had the support of many senior executives present.
At this point, Donald could not stand it any longer and interrupted directly, saying, "What, Brown Soros and Bellamy Hattie, these two Chief Tax Officers, are outstanding, but isn\'t David from the Lake District of Las Vegas remarkable as well?"
"Don\'t forget who led the armed operation in Nevada State; that was simply the best publicity our IRS has had in years."
"Besides the armed operation, there were also his actions in Sparks and Henderson, which further displayed our IRS authority to the world."
"Do you really believe that Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros are better suited to be the spokesperson for the blackout tax bill than he is?"
Donald knew that the backgrounds of Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros were no ordinary matters, which was why so many high-level executives present were speaking up for them.
However, as the drafter of the blackout tax bill, he was wholeheartedly eager to see this bill flourish and naturally wanted to choose the most suitable candidate to be the spokesperson for the bill.
And he believed the most suitable candidate was none other than David!

"I support Deputy Director Donald\'s view. Since David led the armed operation, the media has labeled him the \'Tax Evasion Nemesis\' and \'Iron Fist Tax Chief\'. He is definitely more suitable than Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros to be the spokesperson for the blackout tax bill!"
"David\'s tax performance in a small branch like the Lake District is comparable to those two; this is already honorable even before we mention his leadership in the armed operation and his actions in Sparks and Henderson. He is very suitable."
"I support David."
"I pick David; he has made significant contributions to our IRS..."
Although David did not have any substantial connections, his outstanding performance not only won over Donald but also many of the senior executives present.
Upon hearing these comments, the senior executives who had previously supported Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros now couldn\'t help but fall silent.
The reasoning was indeed sound.
The candidates they supported, Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros, although they had higher tax performance ratings than David every term since the evaluation period began.
But keep in mind, David was stationed in a small branch like Las Vegas, and yet he still managed to achieve such tax performance – from a certain perspective, that was already a win.
Not to mention David was also the hero who re-established the IRS\'s armed deterrence throughout the country, plus his remarkable achievements in both Sparks and Henderson.
But despite that, for their own interests, after a moment of silence, one vice director still went against his better judgement and said, "Deputy Director Donald has a point, but after all, Brown Soros has been the consistent number one on the tax performance charts, making a huge contribution to our IRS. If we don\'t choose him, wouldn\'t that be discouraging to all the Inspectors of our IRS?"
"That\'s right, this round David is only third after all. Choosing the third instead of the first or second will not be seen as legitimate."
"I also agree with this..."
Hearing these words, Donald was on the verge of exploding with anger.
Promotions based on who has the most tax achievements seem fair on the surface.
But still, how can a platform like Las Vegas be compared with the large platforms of Los Angeles and New York?
For the sake of assisting Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros, these people were shameless!
Just as Donald was about to speak up, Obadiah was a step ahead and said, "Since everyone has their own opinion, Consultant Welton Heng, what do you think?"
Across from Obadiah, a man with high cheekbones who was seated by himself, showed a thoughtful expression upon hearing this.
His name was Welton Heng Matt, and he was the Chief Consultant of the IRS.
Within the IRS system, the Chief Consultant, like the Director, requires a nomination by the President and confirmation by the Senate to be appointed.
Therefore, the role of Chief Consultant can be said to be one of the two most powerful individuals within the IRS system.
After pondering for a moment, under everyone\'s watchful eyes, Welton Heng slowly stated, "It\'s undeniable that David has performed excellently, and from a certain angle, he may have surpassed both Bellamy Hattie and Brown Soros."
"However, Vice Director Rohan and others also make sense. Brown Soros and Bellamy Hattie have made the most significant contributions to our blackout tax bill."
"If we do not pick the first and second and instead go for the third, this will not only dishearten those two but may also cause dissatisfaction among many Inspectors across the country, thinking that we high-level executives are rigging things behind the scenes. If it\'s severe, it might even lead to negative emotions among them, which would be detrimental to our tax work..."
Hearing this, Donald, as well as a few others who had just supported David, felt their spirits plummet.
As the Chief Consultant of the IRS, Welton Heng\'s words definitely carried weight.
