Chapter 379 Final Thought Work
"Alright, alright, there's no point in worrying now, just wait for tomorrow's results!"

After Obadiah said this, everyone at the scene stopped chattering and shut their mouths.

"Oh, by the way, since the voting will start tomorrow, I plan to hold a dinner at the Kimpton George Hotel tonight and invite the congressmen from our camp to attend. I would like to invite you to attend as well."

This dinner was certainly not a celebratory dinner.

The House of Representatives will begin voting on this bill tomorrow, and no one knows which members of their camp are evil.

So the purpose of David hosting this dinner party was, firstly, to use the system review function to see if he could find anything so that he could make preparations in advance.

In addition, this dinner is also a final warning to those who have ulterior motives!

"Okay, no problem, we'll join in!"

Obadiah also guessed the purpose of David's hosting this dinner party and agreed without thinking.

"Then see you tonight, everyone. I'll go back to the department to take care of some work first!"

When he returned to his department, Keppel immediately came over and said, "Inspector General, you have a call. It's from Mr. Sean!"

"okay, I get it!"

Pushing the door and walking into the office, David picked up the landline phone and said, "Go ahead, Mr. Sean!"

"Here is the thing, Inspector General David. I know you're quite busy right now, so I haven't dared to bother you. But the House of Representatives voting session is about to begin tomorrow. May I ask you what's going on here? How confident are we?"

Although David couldn't see Sean's expression at this moment, from the slight trembling in his voice, he could guess that he must be nervous and uneasy.

But this is normal, the current situation is different from the past.

Ken Nidi openly stood on the side of the IRS and publicly supported David, which not only intensified the hatred with the Freemasons, but also broke off relations with the Ansa Group.

If this bill fails to pass, it will be the beginning of destruction for the IRS.

And if the IRS really falls.

This time, it might not be as simple as running away for his Kennidi family. They might even be wiped out.

"Progress is pretty good. We currently have 239 votes on the table!"

The Kennidi family is trustworthy, so there is no need for him to deliberately hide anything.

"That's great, that's great..."

Hearing this, Sean was overjoyed.

As one of the four major families in America, he certainly knew how difficult it was to deal with members of Congress. His family had spent huge amounts of financial and material resources over the years, but had not been able to train and win over a few of them.

Not to mention that this bill is to win over at least 218 members of the Legislative Yuan.

But what was unexpected was that not only did David succeed in winning over the person, he actually exceeded the target by a large margin. This was truly a surprise within a surprise!

"Don't be too happy too soon. According to the information I got, the number of votes on the three major groups is not less than ours. They probably have 230 votes on the surface."

"What, this..."

Sean, who had just felt relieved, looked heavy again. After a long while, he said, "Okay, I get it. I won't bother you anymore..."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Sean. I will host a dinner at the Kimpton George Hotel tonight. All the members of our camp will be invited. If you have time, you can come and meet us."

"Okay, that's no problem, I'll be there!"

"Okay, let's do this for now."

Kenniddy family home,
Seeing that the two had ended the call, Selina beside Sean immediately asked impatiently: "What's going on, father?"

"He said that we have 239 votes on our side."

“239 votes.”

Selina was stunned at first, but then she said happily, "That's great, father. 239 votes, we're sure to win this time!"

Based on previous examples of the House of Representatives, as long as 225 votes are secured before the voting phase, there is basically a % chance of passing the House of Representatives.

Because most of the congressmen are not fools, they are well aware of the political risks they will face if they turn against their own side at the last minute.

On a smaller scale, this involves a question of personal character. On a larger scale, since you can change sides once, who knows if you will change sides again in the future?

Therefore, such a defecting congressman has a dark history, which will more or less affect his career.

Although this bill is somewhat unusual.

Because the IRS and the three major groups are fighting fiercely, there may be more lawmakers from both sides who will defect.

But no matter how many there are, they now control 239 members of parliament. It is impossible that more than 21 members will defect, right?
"It may not be stable..."

Sean was not as happy as his daughter, but said with a sullen face.

"What's wrong, father?"

"According to David's intelligence, the three major groups apparently control at least 230 votes."

"What, how is this possible..."

Hearing this, the smile on Selina's face froze instantly.

As mentioned before, based on previous examples of the House of Representatives, as long as 225 votes can be confirmed before the vote, it is basically safe.

Now that the three major groups have 230 votes, who can say who is more stable?
"Forget it, no matter what, we still have the advantage!"

After calming herself down, Selina could only comfort herself in this way.

"I hope so. By the way, David said he would host a dinner party tonight. He probably wanted to give those congressmen a final warning. He invited me. Do you want to go?"

"I……"

Selina showed a hint of hesitation.

To be honest, it was actually a coincidence that she was arranged to be with David.

Later, when she saw that David's abilities were indeed outstanding, she naturally wanted to win him over.

After that, no matter whether David was promoted to tax commissioner or did a series of things that shocked Nevada, in her eyes he was just a grassroots with some abilities.

So when she heard later that her father was planning to use her for a marriage, she naturally resisted in every way.

But she never expected that this grassroots person not only had some abilities, but actually broke many records of the IRS. He soared to the top in a short period of time and was directly promoted to the decision-making circle of the IRS.

By now, David had become the youngest, most dazzling and most feared figure in America, and even she could no longer compare to him.

As for her, she was just a young lady who relied on her family's protection. Such a huge gap naturally made her psychologically unable to accept it. So after David was promoted to the General Administration, she disappeared from the Internal Revenue Service and never appeared in front of David again.

Because the gap and the shame of being rejected in marriage were too painful for her.

"Forget it, since you don't want to go, just stay at home!"

During this period of time, because of fear of retaliation from the three major groups, Sean has been ordering Selina not to go out and stay at home.

The reason why he asked Selina if she wanted to go this time was not because he still had the idea of ​​​​marriage, but because he was afraid that his daughter would feel suffocated, so he just wanted to take her out for some fresh air.

"No father, I will go!"

After a lot of hesitation, Selina gritted her teeth and said this.

This matter has become a knot in her heart.

But she thought, she couldn't possibly never see David again for the rest of her life, right?
If you want to untie this knot in your heart, the best way is to face it bravely, so that you won’t live in pain for the rest of your life!

Sean looked at his daughter, nodded and left without saying anything more.

……

It's seven o'clock in the evening.

The lights in the Kimpton George Hotel were on. A large number of security personnel in suits and wearing headsets were on guard all around, checking every person and vehicle coming in and out.

After confirming that there were no problems, they were allowed to enter.

At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, David, as the "host" for today, had already arrived early. At this time, he was chatting with some old subordinates such as Nissen, Bucky and Simmons.

A few minutes later, Munson came over and said, "Inspector General, our first guests are here."

David nodded slightly, stood up immediately, walked to the door, and prepared to greet the guests.

Soon, a Rolls-Royce appeared.

The car door opened, and the person who got out was none other than Sean, and after Sean, Selina followed.

Tonight she was wearing a pink deep V dress, which fit her graceful figure tightly, perfectly outlining her elegant neck line, collarbone and a pair of proud peaks. Coupled with her exquisite makeup, David was even stunned for a moment.

As for Selina at this moment, after seeing David's dazed look, she suddenly felt secretly happy instead of feeling a little uneasy about seeing him.

It seems that as long as I dress up a little, my looks will be good enough to catch the eye of Inspector General David!
"Cough cough..."

Hearing Sean's cough, David realized that he had lost his composure and said with a wry smile, "Mr. Sean, Ms. Selina, welcome!"

"Inspector General David, it seems we are the 'first customers'."

Although they hadn't entered the hotel yet, after taking a glance inside, Sean knew that he and his daughter should be the first group to arrive.

David smiled and said, "Other guests will be here soon. I'll greet them first. Mr. Sean, you guys go in first."

"Okay, let's talk later!"

After Sean and his daughter went in, the real "big team" officially arrived, and the invited congressmen from various states got out of the cars one after another.

"Senator Eleanor, Senator DeFuni...thank you for coming tonight..."

"That's not right, Chief Inspector David. You invited me to the dinner, so how can I not come?"

"Let's go in and have a drink first!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk later!"

"..."

To be honest, the congressmen who were able to arrive tonight basically all had something in David's hands, so when they saw David personally standing at the door to greet them so politely, they were somewhat shocked.

But many people have guessed that David's move might be a case of using courtesy before force!
For this dinner, David gave the MPs a deadline of 8 o'clock to arrive, and by 8.20:239, all MPs had arrived.

As for Obadiah and other senior IRS officials, they were all present as well.

Afterwards, he walked into the hotel lobby and came to a high platform in the center. He said into the microphone: "Good evening, fellow congressmen. Thank you all for coming to this dinner. I believe some of you have already guessed why I asked everyone to come here. Yes, it is our bill again!"

"During this period of time, I have reached a friendly consensus with all of you present here. Let's work together to promote this bill and seek benefits for our American people!"

"Tomorrow, this bill will be formally voted on in the House of Representatives. If the 239 gentlemen present can cast their precious votes as agreed, then our bill will undoubtedly pass the House of Representatives!"

After these words were spoken, the congressmen present did not show much expression on the surface, but in fact they were quite shaken in their hearts.

Before tonight, the lawmakers present did not know exactly which colleagues would be coming.

I don't even know how many people have participated in this bill.

And now hearing what David said, there were actually 239 members of parliament, which naturally made them secretly shocked.

239 people, or 239 votes, is a rare high number of votes in previous votes on other bills.

This Inspector General David is really well-connected. He can actually deal with so many congressmen at once.

terrible!

"I know that during this period of time, the three major groups or other capital forces have talked to some of you."

"They may threaten you with something else, or they may promise you huge benefits to make you stand on their side quietly."

"So, I must state here that as long as you stand up now, I will understand and will not even embarrass you!"

"But let me be frank with you. If you don't stand up now and then turn against us and vote against us tomorrow, ruining all our plans, I will show no mercy to you!"

Hearing David's murderous words, many congressmen around looked at each other, and the scene fell silent.

After a minute, no member of parliament showed any intention to stand up.

"I'm going to count to five now. If no one stands up after I finish counting, then I will assume that you all support this bill!"

David raised five fingers and began to count: "5...4...3...2...1. Well, since everyone supports this bill, I won't say much. Let's go to the bar!"

One by one, the waiters came out carrying trays with glasses of champagne on them.

After seeing everyone pick up a cup, David on the stage also took a cup from the waiter, raised it high and said: "Once this bill is successfully enacted, the credit will not only belong to the IRS or David, but also to all of you present here. Come on, I wish our bill will pass the House of Representatives smoothly tomorrow, Cheers!"

"Shred!"

Everyone in the audience raised their glasses and drank them all.
