Chapter 263 Heading to Las Vegas
“Why, am I not qualified enough? Who else do you want to talk to?”
Selina’s words were a little cold.
“That’s not true. After all, this is a matter involving the Freemasonry Group. What I want to know is, if we reach cooperation, what can I do for you, and what can you provide me? "What, many of the details require in-depth discussion between the two parties, don't they?"
Selina stood up and walked towards the door without replying, but this shocked David. Confused, he immediately asked: "What do you mean?"
"Let's talk about it then."
Selina opened the door and left, which made David even more confused.
You also proposed this cooperation, and now I have agreed. You didn’t even give me a reply and just left in such a cold voice?
What do you mean?
David didn't realize that it was Maggie's appearance here that caused Serena's attitude to change drastically, because he had no idea about her plan to marry him.
Downstairs in the apartment, Selina got into the Cadillac, and the driver of the car made a puzzled sound: "There were no inspectors stationed here yesterday, why were so many people transferred here today?"
"Can he not be afraid of being targeted by the Freemasons?"
Selina did not realize that these inspectors were here to guard Maggie, and thought it was because they were being targeted by the Freemasons. Staring at David felt scary.
Next she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.
"What's going on, Serena?"
"He agreed to cooperate with us."
"Did you agree? It seems that after being targeted by the Freemasons, he also realized that he could not compete with his own strength and needed our help! ”
After hearing the news, the man on the other end of the phone showed a hint of joy in his words.
With the IRS’s sharpest sword at present, coupled with the resources at their disposal, the Kennedy family, I believe that as long as we can find a suitable opportunity in the future, we will definitely be able to make the Freemasonry Feeling 'pain'!
“What’s wrong Selina, is there anything else?”
Listening to Serena's next words not coming from the other end of the phone for a long time, her father seemed to have noticed something and couldn't help but ask.
"Father, the marriage we talked about last time..."
"Oh, by the way, since he has agreed to cooperate now, the marriage must also be caught up in the process, okay? , I will ask Uncle Nan to go there in the next two days.”
Although the two parties have reached a cooperation, it is only verbal and does not have much solidity.
In the future, as long as David sees that the situation is not right, or the Freemasons are putting pressure on him or trying to win over him, it is not impossible that he will jump out of the car halfway.
Only by marrying and making David the brother-in-law of the Kenedy family can we stop the possibility of wooing the Freemasons in the future, thus allowing David to completely stand in the same boat as the Kenedy family.
When she thought of Maggie in the room just now and heard her father's words, Serena felt mixed emotions in her heart. She bit her red lips and said: "But father, He seems...to have another woman..."
Hearing this, Selina's father was also stunned, but still confirmed: "No...isn't he unmarried, and you He also said that there is no other woman around him, so what’s going on?”
“I don’t know this, but what I saw with my own eyes just now was where he lived...”
Selina did not stay in the western suburbs branch often during this period, so she was not very sure when David got involved with this woman.
"Then have you made any insinuations that she is his woman?"
"He said he was just a friend, but I don't think it is as simple as just a friend..."
"Then what's the point? , maybe you are overthinking, maybe they are just friends. Now that he is targeted by the Freemasons, he is facing a lot of pressure. If we propose marriage, he will definitely consider it carefully. Be open-minded. Come on, Serena, think more about the family.”
Selena’s father, who was a little worried at first, relaxed after hearing this.
As a man, and a young man as vigorous as David, it is normal to need a release sometimes.
As long as David is still unmarried and has his original intention to marry into the Kenedi family, then this is nothing more than a minor problem.
Selina heard the meaning of her father's words. She had a very high self-esteem and felt uncomfortable when she thought about her future man having such 'misdeeds'.
However, her father's last sentence of 'think more about the family' forced her to face reality. After some struggle, she said: "Okay, father, but he also said just now, Since both parties want to cooperate, then he wants to meet with our people and have a good talk."
"Well...that's right, since we are cooperating, we really need to talk. So, what do you ask him? If I have time, to show my sincerity...I will come back and talk to him in person then."
Speaking of the last sentence, Serena's father's tone became hesitant and heavy, as if he was very depressed. This decision was made with great determination.
"Are you coming back in person? But if the Freemasons find out, I'm afraid there will be great risks..."
Selena showed a trace of worry.
"I can't be a coward for the rest of my life. Sooner or later I will come back to take charge of the overall situation. That's it. You go and finalize the time with him."
"Okay, father."< br>
Seeing that her father had made up his mind, Selina could not continue to persuade him. After ending the call, she immediately turned to David's mobile phone and made a call.
In the room of the apartment building, looking at the caller ID as Serena, David picked up the call inexplicably: "What's wrong, Serena?"
"You just said you wanted to meet our family. Do you want to talk to the top management about it? When can you find time to come?"
David thought about it. The day after tomorrow, he would go to Nevada to help the CIA deal with the spy. Talk to Lawson about the election. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be back in two days
Thinking of this, he replied: "At four o'clock in the afternoon in three days, if possible, let your family members Come find me in my office, okay?”
“Got it”
……
The next morning.
Nissen took a woman into the door of the western suburbs branch.
This woman looks like she is in her early thirties, with a tall and well-proportioned figure. She is wearing a tighter black female suit, which outlines the straight curves of her hips and legs, making many passing inspectors tremble. I couldn't help but take a second look at it.
"Keppel, this is our reception hall. Tax personnel who come to the tax office will be notified by the reception staff here, and then they will be taken to the auditor's office above for processing... ”
This woman named Keppel is Nissen's cousin and the administrative secretary who will come over for David's interview today.
After Nissen took her to get familiar with the reception hall on the first floor, he then took her to the second, third, and fourth floors... and familiarized her with the overall structure of the branch on each floor. Seeing that the explanation was almost complete, Then he took her to his office.
"Let me say a few more points, you have to remember Keppel."
Kepel nodded, as if he was all ears.
“First, our director likes to drink ‘Queen’s Coffee’. From now on, when he comes to the office every morning, you don’t have to do anything but make him a cup first.”
"Second, if the tax documents do not reach the level of 5 million, you do not need to ask him to review them in person. After you confirm with the department in charge, you can confirm them directly for him."
"Third... …”
Nissen kept explaining to Keppel what to pay attention to, and Keppel nodded frequently to express his understanding.
Finally, seeing that he had almost finished speaking, Nissen said again: "Okay, that's all. Try to be more confident in front of him later and show him your abilities in all aspects. , this may be the most rare opportunity in your life, so take advantage of it, Cousin Keppel.”
A glint appeared in Keppel’s eyes.
She previously worked for the Las Vegas Bureau of Land Management, but compared to a powerful department like the IRS, it would be no exaggeration to say that this department is in the sky.
And if she can pass the interview later and then serve as the administrative assistant to the director of the Western Suburbs Bureau, her future prospects will be bright.
After all, there is a big difference between the assistant director and the auditor.
Inspector, you have to practice step by step and make meritorious deeds before you can be promoted slowly. As the administrative assistant to the director, with this aspect of administrative management work, once there is a suitable opportunity in the future, he can be directly transferred to a management position.
In addition, there is one more important thing.
That is, the person she is interviewing now is not the administrative assistant of the general director, but the administrative assistant of David.
As the most dazzling and popular person in the IRS, it can be expected that David's position in the IRS will definitely play a decisive role in the future.
As long as she takes good care of David, there is such a relationship. If the time is right in the future, she will get the opportunity to go outside. It is hard to say whether she will be the head of a bureau, but what about being a tax inspector or deputy director of a branch? It's definitely no problem.
While thinking, the phone on Nissen's desk rang at this time. He immediately picked it up. After saying "I got it," he hung up the phone and said to Keppel: "The director is here. , let’s go”
The two of them walked in tandem and soon arrived at the door of David's office. After knocking on the door, they walked in and saw that David was already inside.
Nissen immediately introduced: "Director, this is the cousin I told you yesterday. Her name is Keppel."
Although Keppel had been mentally prepared for a long time, Because David has become so famous recently and often appears on the front pages of major American media and newspapers, she still seemed a little nervous when she saw this legendary figure with her own eyes.
But fortunately, her years of experience in the Bureau of Land Management allowed her to adjust quickly. She immediately introduced herself: "Hello, Director David, my name is Keppel, and my full name is Kai. Per Hardy, nice to meet you and happy to be interviewed by you today”
“Hello Keppel”
David stood up, shook hands with him, and then asked: "Did you bring your resume?"
"Yes."
Keppel immediately opened the handbag and took out the He took out a prepared resume and handed it over.
After some checking, David finally got the general information about Keppel.
Although Keppel did not come from top universities such as Harvard and Massachusetts, he came from the University of Pennsylvania, which can be considered a prestigious school.
So it’s no problem in terms of academic qualifications.
As for her work experience, she has worked in the Bureau of Land Management in Las Vegas for 5 years. She is also experienced in handling work in government agencies. Her resume is also very good. It's not like Neeson forced her to leave the relationship.
"Director David, I may not be familiar with the work of the IRS, but the Bureau of Land Management where I work is also a state unit. The nature of the work of the two is the same in some respects. I It only takes a month, oh no, half a month to become familiar with the overall operating procedures of the IRS. In addition, I am very good at..."
Keppel was afraid that David would not look down on her, so she wanted to put herself in the best position possible. She explained her advantages and what she was good at, but before she could finish her words, she was directly interrupted by David: "Okay Keppel, you passed the interview. Congratulations on becoming a member of our Western Suburbs Branch. ! ”
The person was recommended by Nissen, and his resume is very good so far. Naturally, he has nothing to write home about.
Keppel was stunned.
She originally thought that even with Cousin Nissen's relationship, it would not be so easy to pass David's interview, but she did not expect that it would be more than easy, it would be effortless.
After reacting, she was filled with ecstasy and immediately said: "Director David, thank you very much for choosing me. I will definitely do my best to share the work pressure with you."
< br>"Well, let's do it well."
David turned to look at Neeson and said: "The CIA matter will be taken care of in Las Vegas tomorrow. Let's inform Bucky Simmons and come with him. , book your flight tickets by the way.”
"Understood."
Leaving the office and going to the corridor, Keppel still couldn't believe that she had successfully applied for the job. She looked at Nissen and said, "Cousin Nissen, what's wrong with this guy?" Director Wei...how could he let me pass so easily?"
"It's normal. After all, you know about Hollywood. His current work pressure is indeed too great, and you are. In addition to being someone recommended by me, his resume is also good, so there is no need for him to waste any more time.”
In fact, there is one thing Nissen did not say clearly, that is, except for Keppel, there is no one else. There is no other second choice, and Keppel is good in all aspects, so David naturally has no choice but to make this choice.
"Is that so...Thank you so much, cousin Nissen."
Keppel quickly turned around and thanked her. She also knew very well that without the relationship between her cousin and David, she would not even have the chance to stand in front of David, let alone successfully applied for the job.
"Everyone is a family, so..."
Nissen explained some matters to Keppel, and then returned to his office, planning to make arrangements Trip to Las Vegas tomorrow.
The work at the Western Suburbs Branch was still busy today. David had been handling various matters in the office until five o'clock, when he called in Keanu and Lewis.
Because he is going to Las Vegas tomorrow, he asked these people to deal with the affairs of the bureau temporarily. Anyway, the Hollywood tax clearance has also entered the collection work. As long as it operates normally There will be no other troubles if he accepts it, and it doesn't say that he must sit here and take charge of the overall situation.
"Don't worry, Director, we will handle these follow-up matters."
Keanu and others also assured.
After getting home from get off work, I saw Maggie busy in the kitchen again. Today she made Kung Pao Chicken, Sweet and Sour Pork, a tofu, and a piece of fish soup.
It seems that what she said yesterday about having more than a dozen specialty dishes was really not a boast.
After the storm, David said to him: "Tomorrow, I am going to Las Vegas. If you need anything, just tell people outside."
"Going to Las Vegas? What are you going for?"
Maggie put her hands on the table and poked her head over. The towering peaks were placed on the table like dishes, looking like a curious baby. appearance.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
"Okay..."
Maggie stood up and silently put away the dishes.
Early the next morning, David and his party arrived at Long Beach International Airport and boarded a flight to Las Vegas.
The distance between the two places is less than 400 kilometers. At nine o'clock, the flight landed at the Las Vegas International Airport.
“Las Vegas, I’m back!”
Looking at this familiar environment, Nissen, who had just stepped out of the hatch, couldn’t help but sigh.
Then the four of them arrived at the airport lobby, and soon saw Jerome waiting here. He came up to him and said, "Thank you, Director David, and the tax chiefs for your hard work."
< br>
"Have you determined the target's activity time and approximate location?"
"Yes, but it's still early."
"Notify me then. By the way, where is the car?" "
"Here, it's parked outside, the black Toyota is domineering, the license plate number is XXXX"
Bucky took the key, and the four of them walked out of the airport, following Jerome. After providing the license plate number, they soon found the car on the opposite road, and then the four of them got in the car and headed towards the main block.
About twenty minutes later, the four of them arrived at the Bellagio Hotel and took the elevator all the way to Room 1012 on the 10th floor.
I saw two bodyguards in suits already standing here, waiting.
“Two brothers, our director and Mr. Lawson have made an appointment, let’s report it.”
When the bodyguard saw that the person was indeed David, he immediately opened the door and walked in to report. After making a sound, he walked out about 30 seconds later and said, "You can go in, Director David."
David didn't do any ink, so he immediately raised his legs and walked in, and soon there was a cheerful voice Then he passed the message: "Director David, welcome back to Las Vegas."
David turned around and saw Lawson walking out of the bathroom while arranging his clothes. He also said: "Mr. Lawson, we have not seen each other for two months, and I miss you very much."
