Chapter 181 The proud Laurie
After Menrosa left, Nissen cursed directly: "Damn it, who did Stevenson ask to speak for him? He actually made the top brass of the IRS... Come forward in person to terminate our operation!”
“Even Director Jon can’t help himself. It seems that it must be an instruction from the senior management of the DC General Administration. This Stevenson... is still with us. Do we have connections with the senior officials of the Washington General Administration?”
“It’s hard to say. After all, he has been the governor for so many years, and to be able to sit in this position, the relationship network behind him must not be simple. I think we still need it. We need to conduct a more detailed investigation into his identity and background..."
Bucky and Simmons were also thinking separately.
First of all, this matter must have come from the top management of the Washington DC Administration, otherwise even the president would not have the authority to directly instruct Jon to do this.
"Forget it, we have kicked him out of the governor's position anyway, and he won't cause any trouble to us for a while."
Since there are high-level officials who want to protect Steve Vincent, and Jon sent a message again, so David could only stop for the time being.
“By the way, let’s go to Tianxiang Bay!”
……
Tianxiang Bay, Laurie's house.
"Be careful, don't break my gems!"
Stevenson's sudden resignation is like a big earthquake to Nevada, but if As for who is the happiest person, it is naturally Lowry as the lieutenant governor.
At this time, he was communicating with the people from the moving company, planning to move into the governor's official residence as quickly as possible after the family's belongings were packed.
The Governor's Mansion.
This was the place he had dreamed of occupying for so many days and nights!
What I didn’t expect is that it has actually come true now.
The more Laurie thought about it, the more delighted he became.
"The Lieutenant Governor...Mr. Governor, the State Treasurer, the Secretary General, and...they are all at the door and said they want to see you."
Sherwood walked over, habitually He wanted to call the Lieutenant Governor, but realizing that the situation had changed, he quickly changed his tone.
"Haha, they usually treat me like hello and kick me as hell. Now that they see me in the position, they all come to pay homage to the dock, right? Tell them that I am very busy. After the oath of office is completed, I will 'summon' them one by one!"
Laurie sneered, not too surprised.
According to state law, the governor has the power to appoint and remove any official of the state government. Now that Stevenson has resigned, and according to the federal constitution, he automatically becomes the new governor.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, these people are naturally afraid of being dismissed by him.
“I’ll notify them right away.”
A few minutes later, Sherwood returned and said: "I have asked them to go back, but Mr. Lawson is here. Governor, do you think...?"
"Lawson is here too?"< br>
Lauri thought for a moment. Although David was responsible for Stevenson's downfall, Lawson at least played a role.
Furthermore, the two of them can be regarded as 'brothers in the same discipline', so the others don't need to meet, but since Lawson is here, this face is still given to him.
Thinking of this, Laurie replied: "Then let him in."
"Yes."
After a while, Lawson was brought in. After seeing Laurie, he congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to Lieutenant Governor Laurie! No, now I have to call the governor. Congratulations on being crowned governor."
"Mr. Lawson, I have to thank you for this. If there is anything you can use me for in the future, please speak up as soon as possible!"
< br>Lawson was very happy after hearing this. The reason why he came to the door in person was to congratulate him. The main reason was to remind Lauri in front of him, but don’t forget that you can also ascend to the throne of governor. My part!
Although he was thinking this way, he still waved his hand and replied politely: "Governor Lowry, I'm serious. In fact, I'm just a 'shower' who really helped you get on board..."
< br>
"Mr. Governor, Tax Commissioner David is here."
Lawson was about to talk about David, but Sherwood interrupted him when he arrived, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here. "Please quickly...oh no, I'll pick it up myself!"
As soon as he heard that David was coming, Laurie, who was still acting like a governor, instantly fell apart, and his posture also changed. From the previous majestic to approachable.
First of all, it was precisely because of David's help that he was able to successfully ascend to power.
Secondly, since David can punish Stevenson like this, it will only take minutes to punish him.
So even though he has successfully ascended to become the supreme leader of Nevada, when he heard that David was coming, he still did not dare to exaggerate or show off.
"Taxmaster David, if you want to see me, just let me know and I will come to the door in person. Why do you have to come over in person?"
Laurie has already arrived at this time. outside the door.
"You are now the head of a state. How dare I, a small tax chief, ask you to come here in person, so I will do it myself."
Laurie laughed sarcastically and replied: "What the hell, Chief David, I wouldn't be where I am today without you. I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."
"Let's go in and talk."< br>
“Please come in.”
Laurie turned around and waited until David and his party entered, then he closed the door and walked in, and said: “Taxmaster David, please come in.” Brother inspectors, do you want something to drink?”
“You’re welcome, Governor Lowry...Hey, Mr. Lawson, you’re here too”
David was also a little surprised to see Lawson in the living room.
Lawson smiled awkwardly and said, "I just happened to be passing by here, so I came in specially to congratulate Governor Lowry."
David showed a meaningful expression, and then looked at He turned to Laurie and said: "Governor Laurie has come to see you for three things."
"Not to mention three things, I can handle even three hundred!
David He nodded with satisfaction and said: "First, after you are sworn in, immediately cancel Carson City's strict instructions and let the IRS work here return to normal. ”
"Second, clean out all the confidants left by Stevenson."
"Third, give instructions to your departments to fully cooperate with my tax work in the future!"
The matter with Stevenson cost him too much time, and now that there are only a few days before the end of the assessment period, he must unite all his efforts and seize the time to catch up with his tax performance.
With the cooperation of the state government, although it will not be an added advantage for his taxation work, it will definitely achieve good results.
“No problem!”
Laurie didn't even hesitate and agreed directly.
David turned to look at Lawson and asked: "Mr. Lawson, I have seen your approval rate. According to this percentage, as long as you don't act like Steve in the next few months, If Vincent breaks out such a scandal, the position of the senator can be said to be secure, right?"
"Yes, but Chief David, there are still a few months left before the election. , maybe there will be some unexpected circumstances. I think the effect of breaking the news on Stevenson in the past two days has been very good. Can... can..."
Lawson did not say it directly, but what he meant It is already obvious that he wants David to continue to give him information and increase his support rate.
Of course, he did not do this entirely to gain more support.
Mainly, he and Stevenson are mortal enemies.
Now the Golden Ears Bridge and the Farm Bill issues have been downplayed a lot after Stevenson resigned. If we try to smooth things over, there is a high chance that Stevenson will not even be held legally responsible.
Now that he has taken action, why is he willing to let Stevenson get away so easily?
Even if you can’t kill the opponent, you must at least peel off a layer of the opponent’s skin!
"That's it for Stevenson."
"Ah...this..."
Lawson was a little surprised, but he quickly gritted his teeth and said: "With all due respect, Chief David, the so-called wildfire can't be burned out, and the spring breeze will blow it again. Now this history Stevenson is already standing on the edge of the cliff. We only need to give him one more kick and he will be shattered to pieces. We cannot give him a chance to stand up!"
