Chapter 180 A sensational resignation in Nevada
“Laurie, don’t think that you can do whatever you want just because David is backing you!”
Looking at Stevenson With his face distorted by anger, Laurie was not afraid at all. He shrugged and replied: "I don't know if I can do whatever I want, but Governor Stevenson, I'm afraid you won't be able to do whatever you want in the future."
Stevenson heard that the other party was sarcastically saying that he, as the governor, was about to finish his job, and immediately gritted his teeth and replied: "Okay, okay, very good, Laurie, Aldington, I will remember you two." Yes, get out of here!”
Under the rebellion led by Lowry and Aldington, he already knew that it was impossible to use the power of the state government to get the farm bill done. , so there is no need to keep these people here to show off their power.
Having already broken their skin, Laurie and Aldington didn't want to waste time here, so they stood up and left immediately.
Seeing the two people leaving, the state secretary-general, treasurer, and other directors also followed them away without saying a word.
After a while, only Stevenson and Eugene, who were ashen-faced, were left in the huge conference room.
“I can’t spare these damn bastards!”
Eugene thought to himself, now that you can’t even protect yourself, why can’t you spare others?
Of course, thinking about it, he did not dare to say this directly. Instead, he turned to say: "Without the cooperation of various departments, it will be difficult to handle the agricultural bill. In addition, Lawson and David might If we continue to attack, Governor, the only way now is to ask Mr. Joshua to see if there is any other way..."
As Stevenson's confidant, he Naturally, he knew about the relationship between Stevenson and the Mogen family.
As soon as he heard that he was going to seek help from the Mogen family, Stevenson’s face turned red instantly.
He is the governor of the state of Nevada and has been working in the state for nearly eight years. Time, but in the end, he was made so embarrassed by a small tax chief, and even forced to seek help from the Mogen family.
This is like an adult fighting with a child. If he can't beat the child, it's fine. He has to go back and ask his father for help. This is simply too embarrassing.
I can think about it.
In the current situation, there seems to be no other solution except turning to the Mogan family for help.
In the end, Stevenson could only grit his teeth and picked up the phone and dialed a number: "I am Stevenson. I have something urgent to contact Uncle Joshua."
< br>His wife is the niece of Joshua, the cactus master of the Mogen family, and he naturally calls Joshua his uncle.
About two minutes later, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'm Joshua, tell me."
"Uncle Joshua, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but I have a big trouble here, and I really have to ask you for help..."
Stevenson explained the cause and effect of the matter. once, and then paced back and forth anxiously holding the phone.
After about a minute of silence, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Stevenson, you disappoint me so much..."
Stevenson's expression changed drastically. He quickly explained: "I'm sorry, Uncle Joshua. It's really that damn David who is so insidious. Not only did he secretly collect information about me, but he actually instigated the rebellion of Laurie and Aldington..."
“Okay!”
Joshua on the other end of the phone interrupted Stevenson's explanation, and then said: "Convene a press conference and announce your resignation."
"What! Resign?"
History Stevenson stared at the boss, looking dumbfounded.
Why did he dare to call Joshua?
The purpose is to allow the other party to use the powerful strength of his family to help him resolve this crisis.
But now the other party asked him to resign?
This gave him the feeling that he was seriously injured but not dead yet, but now he was carried directly into the coffin.
“Listen carefully, you, the Golden Ears Bridge and the Farm Bill matters have already been fermented in Nevada. If you are exposed to other scandals next, no one can save you. , resigning, letting the matter downplay, and making other plans is your best choice now, Dududu..."
Before he could reply this time, the other end of the phone was hung up. , there was only a beeping sound and Stevenson who was stunned in place.
“Governor, what did Mr. Joshua say?”
After hearing Eugene's call, Stevenson finally came back to his senses and said with an ashen face: "He asked me to resign..."
"Resign..."
Eugene was also stunned, but if he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem too surprising that the Mogan family gave such a reply.
After all, the public opinion about the Farm Bill is too great, and it is unlikely that the Mogen family can fully suppress it.
And even if the suppression is suppressed, who can guarantee whether David will instruct Lawson tomorrow and the whole big news will come out on the TV station?
If another big news breaks out, the situation may become even worse.
And now that he has resigned, the pressure of public opinion will definitely gradually weaken. Coupled with the manipulation of the Mogen family, maybe the whole thing will pass like this.
Although he lost his position as governor, if he can escape unscathed, he may not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
The so-called green hills are preserved without having to worry about running out of firewood.
Thinking of this, Eugene immediately admonished: "In that case, governor, please comply with Mr. Joshua's wishes and resign first. Your term of office is coming soon anyway. As long as this matter is resolved, We still have a lot to do in the future..."
Stevenson also understood this and was silent for several minutes. Finally, he reluctantly said, "Get ready for tomorrow's press conference."
This night, Stevenson was not the only one who couldn't sleep all night.
Throughout Nevada, there are also many people who stay up all night together.
Some people are still denouncing Stevenson over the farm bill, while others are worried about their own future interests.
In this way, the time came to the next morning.
Not long after David arrived at the Ninglin Branch, Simon Nissenbaki and others broke into his office and said: "Tax Commissioner, I just received a notice that the governor will hold a press conference at his official residence in ten minutes. "
David was startled for a moment, then said: "Turn on the TV."
Simmons immediately turned on the TV hanging on the wall and tuned it to Nevada. The largest TV station showed the entrance to the governor's mansion on the screen, and a large number of media had already arrived at the scene.
In addition, you can also see that some agricultural people have gathered at the governor's mansion at some unknown time. Not only did they hold various banners denounced Stevenson, but they also shouted various demands for Stevenson. Sen's slogan of taking responsibility for this bill.
The time came to 9:40.
Stevenson finally walked out of the official residence, although at this time he was neatly dressed and his hair was styled.
But it can be seen from the bloodshot eyes and facial appearance that his heart is not as bright as his appearance.
"Good morning to friends from the media, citizens, and viewers of Nevada who are watching. I am Governor Stevenson of Nevada."
Stevenson first gave a speech to Everyone said hello, and then continued: "In view of the agricultural bill announced by Mr. Lawson yesterday, I admit that I did not handle some of the details well, which caused dissatisfaction among the majority of agricultural people."
"For this reason, I am willing to take all responsibilities. From now on, I will officially resign as governor. I am grateful to the voters of Nevada for their support and love for me over the past nearly eight years..."
< br>
As soon as the word "resignation" came out, everyone in Nevada was stunned.
They thought that today’s press conference was just a response to the farm bill. No one thought that Stevenson would directly announce his resignation.
Many professionals have also analyzed before that although the Golden Ears Bridge and the Farm Bill have plunged Stevenson into scandals, they are far from the point of resigning.
Of course, they didn’t know about Laurie, Aldington and Aldington making trouble at the meeting last night, otherwise it wouldn’t have been such a surprise.
“It seems that Stevenson is quite sensible and actually resigned on his own initiative.”
"He is quite a smart man. If he continues to hold on, he will only arouse more anger among the people. Now that he has resigned, at least he can extinguish the public anger."
"..."
Regarding Stevenson's resignation, neither David nor Simon Nissenbaki was a big surprise.
Because they knew about the forced abortion last night.
In a situation where the scandal has not been resolved and there is internal rebellion, even if they were Stevenson, the best way would be to resign. Las Vegas, Lakeland Precinct.
After seeing Stevenson announcing his resignation on TV, Selina was also surprised and fell into a state of confusion.
Afterwards, she immediately came to the bathroom, dialed her father's number, and said, "Father, are you watching Stevenson's press conference?"
"I am watching. , but I can’t figure it out, why would Stevenson directly announce his resignation?”
Obviously, Selina’s father can also see that although Stevenson is involved in a scandal, it is still far away. It’s not like I’m going to resign now.
"I'm also a little confused, but what is certain is that after Lawson announced the farm bill last night, something else must have happened, which finally forced Stevenson to resign."
"No matter what it is, it must be David's plan again. This knife is really too sharp, even the governor can be killed. I appreciate him more and more, but... Alas, how can we get this knife into our hands?"
Hearing this, Selina was also a little helpless.
Originally, she thought that it would be difficult for David to defeat Stevenson, so she had long planned to wait for David to lose, and then provide some help in exchange for David's attachment or alliance.
What I didn’t expect was that David didn’t need their help. He single-handedly single-handedly defeated the top man in Nevada.
This was not only beyond her expectation, but also made her somewhat confused about how to win over David.
"By the way...Selina, you have been under his command for a long time. Do you think he is...interested in you?"
"What are you talking about? Father! "
Of course Serena knew what her father meant, and her face suddenly turned red.
“You have also seen Serena. Although David is from an ordinary background, with his ability, he will be able to occupy a place in the IRS sooner or later. We must win over this person. He is very important to us. It will be of great help. If it can be done through marriage, this is the best.”
In the upper class of America, marriage is a very common way.
And if they want to tie David to the Kennedy family, how can a marriage be more stable due to favors and favors?
What's more, David looks unstoppable now, and there is no chance for them to win over him with favors.
Then the only way is marriage.
Selina was silent.
First of all, although David is of Asian descent, his overall appearance is not bad, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as outstanding.
Secondly, David led armed forces to invade the Indian tribes, and overthrew the city halls of Sparks and Reno. Now, even the largest BOSS in Nevada has been defeated.
Anyone who has completed one of these things is enough to be called earth-shattering, and David has completed four of them alone.
Females are born with the gene of admiring the strong, and Serena is no exception, so from the bottom of her heart, she is not really opposed to letting her marry David.
But...
Due to female shyness, she was too embarrassed to agree directly.
"If you are really unwilling, then I will talk to your cousin Moira about this matter and see what she thinks..."
I can see that, Celie Na's father still cares about his daughter. He is not like some families who use their daughters or women in the family as tools for marriage for their own benefit.
Hearing this, Serena, who was still a little shy, tightened her expression and immediately said: "No, father, cousin Moira has never even met David. I don't want to ruin it." For her lifelong happiness, if we have to marry...I...I am willing to make sacrifices...
"Okay, since you said so, I'll wrong you Serena, but this matter Don't be anxious in advance. After the results of their god-making plan come out, we can slowly talk to him about this matter! ”
After all, Serena is the eldest daughter of the Kennedy family. If she marries a tax chief, it would be somewhat unfair in terms of status.
That’s why Selina’s father decided that it would be more suitable if David could quickly rise to the position of branch director with the help of the God-making Plan.
"Yes, I understand, father..."
While Serena and her daughter were discussing, Stevenson's press conference continued on the TV.
After announcing his resignation, he gave a speech about his eight years as governor, which was nothing more than praising how dedicated he was and what contributions he had made to Nevada. topic.
And some professionals can also tell that these words are just a pavement for Stevenson to take other paths after his resignation.
However, most people are still in the mood to listen to this at this moment. They are still immersed in the bombshell news of Stevenson's resignation.
Ninglin Branch.
“Humph, this Stevenson is really good at boasting. He has been the governor of Nevada for so many years, and I really don’t see that he has made any great contributions.”
"After listening to his words, you may be thinking of resigning as governor and running for senator, representative, or other positions. It's a beautiful idea."
"Tax Commissioner, what he has in mind is indeed a bit beautiful. Why don't we continue to add fuel to the flames and beat him to death so that he can't stand up!"
In the temporary office, Buckney Nissen and Simmons also noticed it. Stevenson's little thoughts, one by one said viciously.
But before David could reply, there was a knock on the door, and then Betsy pushed the door open and said, "Director David, Commissioner Jon's secretary Menrosa is here and said I want to see you.”
David frowned slightly. Didn’t Menrosa just come yesterday? Why is he here again today?
He didn't quite understand, so he had to reply: "Okay, let him come over."
Betsy nodded, turned and left.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Menrosa walked in and said, "I met Tax Chief David again."
"Secretary Menrosa, I don't know what happened today. What's the matter?"
"To make a long story short, Director Jon asked me to come here to ask you about other dirty information about Governor Stevenson, you...or Lawson. Sir, do you still have it in your hand?"
Hearing this, David's expression changed slightly.
When talking to the other party yesterday, he could tell from the other party's words that Director Jon did not want to get involved in this matter.
But now, Menrosa’s words after arriving are so straightforward, something must have happened.
Putting away his thoughts, he replied calmly: "I would like to ask, what does it matter if it is yes or no?"
"That's it, what Director Jon means is , whether it is yes or no, this matter ends here, don’t delve into it any further!”
As soon as these words came out, David’s brows instantly frowned, while Simons Nessamba was listening. The expressions on the faces of Ji and the others were equally ugly.
As the saying goes, a centipede is dead but not stiff.
Not to mention a governor.
If they don't make Stevenson unable to stand up now, then the other party may come back in the future and create other troubles for them.
But forget it if it’s someone else.
Now this is an order from State Director Jon, and they must definitely not disobey it, unless they don't want to mess up the IRS system in Nevada.
"Director David, I know this may make you a little unhappy, but sometimes there are many things that you have no control over, even Director Jon is no exception. This is what Director Jon asked me to convey to you. . ”
Menrosa’s words made David’s eyebrows relax.
Because he heard that it was not that Jon was deliberately making things difficult for him, but that some high-level figures were putting pressure on Jon. Jon had no choice but to ask him to stop. Stevenson was beaten to death.
"Please tell Director Jon that I know what to do."
"That's good, I won't disturb you, I'll leave first."
