American Tax Officer

Chapter 661: Chapter 333: The First Day on the Job
 

The next morning, David and his party of four arrived at the entrance of the headquarters and stared at the solemn building for a while before walking in with excitement.

The Tax Investigator’s Office was located on the tenth floor of the headquarters building, occupying an area roughly the size of half a football field.

At this moment, the full staff of the department had already taken their places, their expressions slightly stern as they occasionally glanced at the elevator entrance, as if waiting for someone.

“Ding-dong!”

As the sound of the elevator doors opening rang out, the sight of the four people stepping out prompted everyone present to stand up immediately.

“Chief Inspector.”

“Chief Inspector.”

“…”

Amid the greetings of the crowd, a woman in her forties who looked quite capable made her way through the crowd and approached David, saying, “Inspector David, I am the former Chief Inspector’s administrative assistant, my name is Hannah.”

“Okay, Hannah, I’ll be counting on your guidance in the future…”

Before coming to the position, Donald had already informed him that such an assistant, familiar with the department’s business, would be left to assist him, and being new to the job, he indeed needed someone well-versed in departmental affairs to help him out, so he did not refuse.

“You’re too kind, Chief Inspector. Please call me at any time if there’s anything unclear,” said Hannah.

David nodded, turned his head towards the dozens of department personnel present, and said, “Everyone, I am very happy to join this department and to be your supervisor. As for who I am, I am sure you all are well aware, so I won’t introduce myself further. I hope that in the coming time, we can work together happily…”@@novelbin@@

To be honest, more than 90% of those present welcomed David’s arrival.

The reason is simple, after experiencing many events, David now has various accolades, his exposure even comparable to the President.

So with his arrival at their Tax Investigator’s division, their department would naturally be frequently in the spotlight. As long as they performed outstandingly, they could naturally gain a lot of prestige and exposure, making their career paths smoother.

Besides, David’s capability is definitely considered the best within the Internal Revenue Service at present. If he could solve several major cases in Lijian, like he did in Los Angeles, then these department personnel were sure to benefit as well.

“Oh yes, I have also brought a few new colleagues with me this time. I hope that in the coming time, everyone can help them to quickly become familiar with the department’s affairs.”

“Hello everyone, my name is Nisen, from Las Vegas. Please take care of me…”

“Greetings colleagues, my name is Simmons…”

“My name is Bucky…”

Nisen Bakesimmons had followed David for so long, not to mention that they were already well-known figures within the Internal Revenue Service system, even ordinary citizens were very familiar with them.

They even had a nickname specifically for this group, ‘David’s Three Powerhouses’!

Therefore, these people naturally would not engage in any office exclusion tactics, but instead, because they were David’s trusted aides, everyone was ready to curry favor under the guise of becoming familiar with the business.

“Chief Inspector, then I will take you to see your office,” Hannah said when she saw that everyone was acquainted.

“Alright.”

Following Hannah’s lead, after passing through the office suite, David arrived at an area partitioned off with glass.

Inside, there was not only the Chief Inspector’s Office but also the Deputy Chief Inspector, the administrative assistant’s office, a secretary’s area, and offices for those in charge of tax supervision in the major regions of America.

In the IRS Tax Investigator division, the highest authority is the Chief Inspector, followed by the Deputy Chief Inspector.

It is said that the former Deputy Chief Inspector had a problematic personality, and to avoid any divisional conflicts with the new chief, he was moved to other departments after the old Chief Inspector retired.

Therefore, this position is currently vacant.

As for the major region tax supervision directors, there are mainly seven.

Three of them were reassigned at David’s request, to make room for Nisen, Bucky, and Simmons.

And the remaining four directors, David had also met during the introductions just now.

Of course, to be a regional director, one must reach the position of Tax Investigator; otherwise, it would not have been easy for David to parachute Nisen, Bucky, and Simmons directly over.

“Chief Inspector, please come in!”

Hannah, familiar with the procedure, pushed open the door to the Inspector General’s Office.

The size of this office was about the same as David’s office in Los Angeles, but what was similar was that it also had a floor-to-ceiling window. Looking out through the window, one could see the busy traffic on Constitution Avenue.

The desk was about three meters long and two meters wide made of mahogany. On the right side of the desk was a desktop Apple computer, and on the right were neatly arranged files.

Behind and to the left of the desk hung the flag of the Internal Revenue Service and the flag of America.

“Chief Inspector, do you need to change the layout here or, do you have any personal preferences to arrange in the office?”

“No need,” replied David as he sat in the executive chair and gestured for Hannah to sit down as well, then said, “Go ahead, tell me about the department’s situation, the tax inspection statuses in various states, and the policies that the former Chief Inspector focused on…”
