"Forget it, father, let her take the spotlight now. Anyway, Inspector General David said before that the 2024 general election will help us, and it is unlikely that she will break her promise. By then, everything she is busy with now will come to fruition. It fell on our heads."
Ivanka on the side comforted.
Hearing this comfort, Tang Pu felt a little better.
That is indeed the case. Although Kaqila is now very popular, as long as they do more of David's work in the future, there is still hope.
Maybe everything the other party is doing now will also benefit me!
Seeing that her statement on the New York incident aroused applause from the audience, Kaqila felt a little complacent in her heart.
But at this moment, the chief justice of the country, who presided over the presidential inauguration ceremony, spoke.
“Ms. Vice President, do you have anything else to add?”
“I’m done, Judge Ten Ade.”
“Okay, now. Let’s start the swearing-in process!”
Ten Ad took out the constitution belonging to the United States, and then Kaqila pressed her hand on it. .
“I, Kachila, hereby swear that I will take office as the President of the United States, and I will do so wholeheartedly...”
Five minutes later, Kachila’s oath was completed, and today’s president was inaugurated. The ceremony can be considered to be over.
In the coming time, Kaqila will hold a presidential inauguration parade.
The motorcade will drive along Pennsylvania Avenue, accompanied by honor guards of the three services, civil groups, military bands and various floats.
In the evening, the Presidential Inauguration Committee will also organize a banquet as a celebratory dinner.
At that time, celebrities and senior officials from all over Washington will come to participate.
Of course, as the full promoters of this event, the IRS and others were naturally the first to be invited.
……
Eight o’clock sharp in the evening.
The venue for this dinner was set at the Tompu International Hotel.
First of all, now everyone is on the same side. This move can be regarded as Kaqila giving Tang Pu a face, showing the close relationship between the two sides in the same camp.
Second.
The Tompu International Hotel has a high star rating and is indeed suitable for hosting this upper-class dinner party.
"President Kachila, congratulations!"
"Thank you."
"President Kachila, congratulations..."
"Thank you..."
Today I attended the inauguration ceremony again, and then another There was a parade, and now she was here to attend a dance, but Kaqila didn't feel tired at all, but the excitement still stayed in her heart.
And now facing the congratulations and compliments of high-ranking officials and celebrities in Washington, she is even more grateful.
Is this what it’s like to be in the highest position of power?
Is this what it feels like when everyone is worshiping you!
Now, Kaqila finally experienced this dreaming feeling!
“Mother, the people from the IRS are here!”
While Kaqila was still thinking about it in her heart, a man wearing a pink dress and talking to Kaqila A somewhat similar young woman reminded me.
Kaqila quickly put away her thoughts and looked in front of the door.
Isn’t that right? The three giants of the IRS, David, Vertonghen, and Obadiah are stepping in side by side.
Although she is now the president, Kaqila also knows very well how she got her position.
And the most important thing is that since David can help her up, he can also kick her down.
So when she saw the three people appearing, she no longer cared about the president's distinguished status, and quickly lowered her attitude to greet them.
"Inspector General David, Director Obadiah, and Advisor Vertonghen, welcome and welcome..."
"Madam President, congratulations..."
The three of them were smiling. appearance, replied in unison.
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my little girl Anne, who is currently working in the Economic Committee of the Ministry of Finance!"
"Oh, she is so young and promising!"
Obadiah praised.
David on the side looked at Annie.
Annie seems to have inherited more of her mother's Asian genes, so she is in line with Asian aesthetics.
With her oval face and slender figure set off by the pink dress, coupled with the radiance of being the daughter of the new president, she can be considered one of the highlights tonight.
"Excuse me, you three. The cabinet members are here. I'll go over and have a chat first."
"Excuse me, Madam President!"
Knowing that Kaqila would be very busy tonight, the three of them did not talk too much.
"Hi Theo Badea, Consultant Vertonghen, when did you arrive."
"Just arrived..."
Obadiah and Vertonghen has been deeply involved in Washington for many years and has many friends in various departments.
In addition, the IRS has been showing off its power during this period, so many people who came here one after another came up to talk with fawning faces.
Of course the two of them knew what these people were thinking, but they did not reveal it. On the contrary, they enjoyed the flattery in their hearts.
But David is different. To be honest, he doesn't like this kind of occasion, but he was invited by Kaqila tonight and has to come.
So after chatting for a while, I spoke to Diobadeya Vertonghen, and then went to a bar and ordered a glass of tequila.
"Inspector General David, I have been looking for you for a long time, and you are here!"
After sitting alone for a few minutes, a call came from behind, forcing David to turn his head.
The person calling him was none other than Kachila’s daughter Anne.
Beside her, there was a woman over sixty years old.
David is no stranger to this woman, she is the current boss of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Janice Yelland.
Speaking of which, in the United States, if any department has the most dealings with the IRS, it is definitely the Department of the Treasury!
Even from a certain legal point of view, the Ministry of Finance belongs to the superior department of the National Taxation Bureau.
Because in theory, the tax funds collected by the IRS need to be approved by the Ministry of Finance before they can be implemented into various departments or used for various education and medical benefits.
But this is only theoretical.
In fact, the IRS has great control over the funds collected. .
The reason is simple. The Ministry of Finance is only responsible for the allocation of national financial funds, but it has no authority to investigate the tax funds of the National Taxation Bureau.
For example, if the IRS is at odds with the Treasury Department, then the original tax revenue of $500 billion this quarter can be said to be $250 billion.
Alternatively, it could be used to tie the neck of the Ministry of Finance by claiming that all the funds from the taxation agencies across the country have not been handed over.
The Ministry of Finance has no law enforcement power, so there is nothing we can do about it.
Therefore, after every Finance Minister (Minister of Finance) takes office, the first thing he does is to go to the Internal Revenue Service and get to know the senior officials of the Internal Revenue Service, so that things can be done easily in the future.
But having said that, why is Anne bringing Yelan to her now? "By the way, Inspector General David, let me introduce to you..."
"No, hello, Minister Yelan!"
David walked over on his own initiative and extended his right hand.
"Inspector General David, I have been to your IRS many times during this period, but unfortunately I have not been able to see you. Today I finally got to see you!"
"Because I have been busy in New York recently, so I am quite busy with official duties..."
David didn't make any excuses.
During this period of time, he has indeed been busy in New York with the mid-term elections.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
Yelansi waved his hand, but still smiled.
“I don’t know, why did Minister Yelan come to me?”
After finishing speaking, before Yelan could answer, Anne on the side snapped her fingers at a staff member not far away.
The staff member walked over, took out a document from his bag and handed it to David.
"Is this...?"
"Inspector General David, this is our Ministry of Finance's many plans for future taxation under the Foreign Tax Avoidance Act. You can take a look at it in detail!"
Jelland explained.
David's eyes narrowed, but he finally took it and examined it.
More than ten minutes later, he closed the file after reviewing it, with a thoughtful look on his face.
I have to say that the Ministry of Finance is moving really fast. It hasn’t been long since the foreign tax avoidance bill was passed, but they have already planned so many plans.
It seems that I have been thinking about this tax fund for who knows how long.
Putting away his thoughts, David raised his head and looked at Yelan and said: "Minister Yelan, this plan is not bad, but for the matter of tax funds, I think you should go to Moji Let’s talk!”
Mojito is a senior member of their Internal Revenue Service, and his main responsibility is to interface with the Ministry of Finance.
“I have already talked to Mojito, but for this tax fund, your General Administration probably has some ideas of its own and has not made a clear plan yet, so we can only come to David The Inspector General has consulted!”
Hearing the other party’s words, David fell into deep thought and replied after a while: “Okay, Minister Yelan, I will tell you about this tax fund when I get back. I'll talk to Mojito and see what plans his department has first."
"Then there's Inspector General David!"
"Inspector General David, You are here!”
While the two were still talking, a rough voice came from behind, forcing both parties to turn their heads.
The visitors were none other than FBI Director Yadokun and Gavin.
"Deputy Director Yadokun, you are fine."
"Thanks to you, Inspector General David, everything is fine."
The two shook hands. After shaking hands, Yadokun looked at Yelan and said, "Minister Yelan, you are here too!"
"Yes, Deputy Director Yadokun, I am talking to Inspector General David about something."
"Oh?"
Yadokun's expression changed, and then asked: "We're done talking. Minister Yelan?”
“We’ve finished chatting, Deputy Director Yadokun, please!”
Yelan and Annie didn’t go far, but walked about seven or eight meters with a few people. The senior officials started chatting, but if you look carefully, you can see that their ears and eyes are always paying attention to what's going on on David's side.
"Inspector General David, it's really thanks to you this time. Otherwise, we may have no choice but to pack up and go home..."
Previously, Sullivan was preparing to support Newland as deputy director of the FBI. This matter was almost completed, but David used his magic power to knock off Paden at the last moment, causing the matter to abort.
Otherwise, once Newland takes over, the two of them will definitely be kicked out, so Yadokun will naturally be grateful to David for this.
"You have done a lot for me during this period, so this is as it should be. Don't thank me too much."
During this period, the FBI has indeed played a role for him. It was quite an effect, so David had nothing to show off about this matter.
"Hey, if anything, we just did some trivial things!"
Yadokun looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, after hearing David's words, he felt quite sad. contented.
When he worked for David before, he actually saw the top executives of the CIA and FBI being purged and was forced to make a helpless choice.
But now it seems that this choice was the right one.
Now David's power is becoming more and more powerful, and after Pai Teng stepped down, the White House fell into his control, which can basically be said to cover the sky with one hand.
So from now on, they no longer have to worry about being liquidated.
"Ahem..."
Putting away the distracting thoughts in his heart, Yadokun coughed with some meaning, and his eyes were on Gavin.
Gavin also immediately came to his senses, looked at David and said: "That's it, Inspector General David, we have something to discuss with you here."
"What? Something?”
Gavin looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them. He lowered his voice and said, "If I guess correctly, you should have a lot of plans for the three major groups next, right?"
"So what?"
David narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Argavin with suspicion.
Being looked at by such cold eyes, Gavin also shuddered and quickly defended: "Don't misunderstand Inspector General David, this is what we mean."
"Although The three major groups have been hit hard during this period, but their effectiveness still exists. If we want to continue to crack down on them, the assistance of law enforcement agencies is essential.”
"But... we have studied that many of our FBI equipment, facilities, and human resources are currently not enough, so we want to apply for a fund from the tax revenue brought by the Foreign Tax Avoidance Act to enhance our ability to protect them. The coverage, you see..."
What Gavin said is quite clever.
It is true that they want money, but he did not make it clear like Yelan before. Instead, he hinted that the FBI wanted to take money from the IRS to handle IRS matters.
In this case, David naturally has no reason to refuse.
After hearing these words, David finally understood the real reason why these two people came to him.
But everyone said that they would use their funds to help them with things. David naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only reply: "Since you have said so, regarding the funds, we will see how much is needed when the time comes. I will try my best to help you get it done."
"Then Inspector General David..."
When they heard that David agreed, the two of them were secretly happy. .
With this funding, they will not only be able to deploy more power against the three major groups in the future.
The most important point is that the two of them can also use the funds they brought back to take their prestige in the department to a higher level!
"But I have something to say first. You must actually use this fund where it should be used. If I find that it has gone to a place where it should not go, you know the consequences!"
If it is like Gavin said He said that the funds applied for were for the work of the FBI, so David would naturally have no problem with it, but if it ended up going into someone's pocket, this would naturally not be tolerated, so he had to give a warning.
"Don't worry, Inspector General, this fund will definitely be used where it should be used!"
The two of them also made the guarantee with tense expressions. (End of this chapter)
