"Forget it, father. Let's just let her enjoy the glory for now. Inspector General David said before that he would help us in the 24th election. It is unlikely that he will break his promise. By then, everything she is busy with now will bear fruit on our heads."

Ivanka on the side comforted him.

After hearing these words of comfort, Thompson felt better.

That's true. Even though Kaqila is enjoying great success now, there is still hope as long as they do more of David's work in the future.

Maybe everything the other party is doing now will also benefit me!

Seeing that her statement on the New York incident had aroused applause from the audience, Kachila felt somewhat complacent.

But at this moment, the Chief Justice of the country, who presided over the presidential inauguration ceremony, spoke.

“Madam Vice President, do you have anything else to add?”

"I'm done Judge Ten Ade."

"Well, let's start the oath-taking process now!"

Teng Ade took out the Constitution of the United States, and then Kaqila put her hand on it.

"I, Kachila, hereby swear to be the President of the United States. I will serve with all my heart..."

Five minutes later, Kachila finished her oath, and today's presidential inauguration ceremony came to an end.

In the coming period, Kachila will hold a presidential inauguration parade.

The motorcade will travel along Pennsylvania Avenue, accompanied by the three-service honor guard, civilian groups, military bands and various floats.

In the evening, the Presidential Inauguration Committee will 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 promoter of this event, the IRS and others were naturally the first to be invited.

……

At eight o'clock sharp.

The venue for this dinner is set at the Thompson International Hotel.

Firstly, now everyone is a family, and this move can be regarded as Kachila giving Thompson a face, highlighting the close relationship between the two sides in the same camp.

Secondly.

The Temple International Hotel has a high star rating and is indeed suitable for hosting this high-society dinner.

"President Kaqila, congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"President Kachila, congratulations..."

"Thanks……"

Today she attended the inauguration ceremony, followed by a parade, and now she is here to attend the ball, but Kaqila did not feel tired at all. Instead, the excitement still remained in her heart.

And now, facing the congratulations and respects from a number of high-ranking officials and celebrities in Washington, she is extremely pleased.

Is this what it feels like to be in the highest position of power?
Is this what it feels like to be worshipped by everyone?
Now, Kaqila finally experienced this long-desired feeling!

"Mom, the IRS is here!"

Just as Kachila was still savoring the memory, a young woman in a pink dress who looked somewhat like Kachila reminded her.

Kaqila quickly put away her thoughts and looked towards the door.

Isn't that right? The three giants of the IRS, David, Vertonghen and Obadiah are walking in side by side.

Although she is now the president, Kaqila knows very well how she got this position.

And the most important thing is that since David can help her up, he can naturally kick her down as well.

So when she saw the three people appear, she no longer cared about the president's noble status and quickly lowered her posture to greet them.

"Inspector General David, Director Obadiah, Counsel Vertonghen, welcome, welcome..."

"Madam President, congratulations..."

The three of them smiled and replied in unison.

"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Annie. I currently work in the Economic Committee of the Ministry of Finance!"

"Oh, what a promising young man!"

Obadiah praised.

David on the side looked at Anne twice.

This Annie seems to have inherited more Asian genes from her mother, so she is very much in line with Asian aesthetic standards.

With her oval face and slender figure set off by the pink dress, and the aura of the new president's daughter, she is one of the focuses of the night.

"Excuse me, the cabinet members have arrived. I'll go over and have a quick chat."

"Madam President, please!"

Knowing that Kaqila would be very busy tonight, the three of them didn't say too much nonsense.

"Hi Theobadiah, Counselor Vertonghen, when did you arrive?"

"Just arrived..."

Obadiah and Vertonghen have been working in Washington for many years and have many friends in various departments.

In addition, the IRS has been showing off its power in recent times, so many people who have come here have come up to chat with them with a fawning look on their faces.

Of course, the two of them knew what these people were thinking, but they did not point it out. Instead, they really enjoyed the feeling of flattery.

But David was different. To be honest, he didn't like this kind of occasion, but he had to come tonight because he was invited by Kaqila.

So after chatting for a while, he said something to Tiobadiah and Vertonghen, then went to a bar and ordered a glass of tequila.

"Inspector General David, I've been looking for you for a long time, and here you are!"

After sitting alone for a few minutes, a voice calling from behind forced David to turn his head.

The one who called him was Anne, the daughter of Kachila.

Next to her was a woman in her sixties.

David was no stranger to this woman, she was the current head of the U.S. Treasury Department, Janice Yelland.

Speaking of which, in the United States, if we talk about which department has the most dealings with the IRS, it must be the Treasury Department!
Even from a legal point of view, the Ministry of Finance is the superior department of the State Administration of Taxation.

Because in theory, all tax funds collected by the IRS need to be approved by the Ministry of Finance before they can be allocated to various departments or used for various education and medical benefits.

But this is only theoretical.

In fact, the IRS has a lot of 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 right to investigate the tax funds of the IRS.

For example, if the IRS and the Treasury Department are at odds, then the original $5000 billion in tax revenue this quarter could be reduced to $2500 billion.

Or they may use the fact that the funds of the national tax bureaus across the country have not been fully remitted to strangle the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Finance has no law enforcement power and can do nothing about it.

Therefore, after every Finance Minister takes office, the first thing he does is to go to the IRS and get acquainted with the top management of the bureau so that it will be easier for him to do things in the future.

But then again, why did Annie bring Yelan to see her? "By the way, Chief Inspector David, let me introduce you to..."

"No thanks, hello Minister Yelan!"

David took the initiative to come over and stretched out his right hand.

"Inspector General David, I have been to your IRS many times recently, but unfortunately I have never been able to meet you. Today I finally get to meet you!"

"Because I've been busy in New York recently, my official duties have been quite busy..."

David made no excuses.

During this period of time, he has indeed been busy with the midterm elections in New York.

"It's okay, it's okay..."

Yelanth waved his hands, but still looked smiling.

"I don't know. What does Minister Yelan want to talk to me about?"

After he finished speaking, before Ye Lan could answer, Annie at the side snapped her fingers at a staff member not far away.

The staff member came over, took out a document from his bag and handed it to David.

"This is……?"

"Inspector General David, these are the plans of our Ministry of Finance for future tax revenues from the Tax Shelter Act. You can take a look at them in detail!"

Yellan explained.

David narrowed his eyes, but finally took it and examined it.

Ten minutes later, he finished reading the document, closed it, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

I have to say that the Ministry of Finance is very quick. It hasn't been long since the tax avoidance bill was passed, but they have already planned so many plans.

It seems that he has been thinking about this tax money for a long time.

Putting away his thoughts, David looked up at Yelan and said, "Minister Yelan, this plan is not bad, but regarding the matter of tax funds, I think you should talk to Mojito!"

Mojito is a senior executive of their Internal Revenue Service, and his main responsibility is to liaise with the Ministry of Finance.

"I've already talked to Mojito about this, but your General Administration probably has some ideas of its own regarding this tax money, and hasn't made a clear plan yet, so we can only come to Inspector General David for advice!"

Hearing the other party's words, David fell into deep thought, and after a while he replied: "Okay, Minister Yelan, regarding this tax fund, I will talk to Mojito after I go back to see what plans his department has first."

"Then I'll have to trouble Inspector General David!"

"Inspector General David, there you are!"

While the two were still talking, a rough voice was heard from behind, forcing both parties to turn their heads.

The people who came were none other than Director Yadokun of the FBI and Gavin.

"Deputy Director Yadokun, how are you?"

"Thanks to Inspector General David, everything is fine."

The two shook hands, and then Yadokun looked at Yelan and said, "Minister Yelan, you are here too!"

"Yes, Deputy Director Yadokun, I'm talking to Inspector General David about something."

"Oh?"

Yadokun's expression changed, and then he asked, "Are you done talking, Minister Yelan?"

"We're done talking, Deputy Director Yado-kun, please do as you please!"

Yelan and Annie did not walk far, but walked about seven or eight meters away to chat with several senior officials. However, if you look closely, you can find that their ears and eyes are always paying attention to David's movements.

"Inspector General David, we are really grateful to you this time. Otherwise, we would have no choice but to pack up and go home..."

Previously, Sullivan was planning to support Newland to become the deputy director of the FBI, and the matter was almost completed. It was only because David used his magic power to kill Paden at the last moment that the matter was aborted.

Otherwise, once Newland came to power, the two of them would definitely be kicked out, so Yadokun naturally had to be grateful to David for this.

"You have done a lot for me during this period, so this is what I should do. You don't have to thank me too much."

During this period of time, the FBI has indeed played a significant role for him, so David has nothing to brag about.

"Oh, no, we just did some insignificant work!"

Yadokun looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, after hearing what David said, he was quite pleased with himself.

He worked for David before because he was forced to do so after seeing the top leaders of the CIA and FBI being purged.

But now it seems that this choice was the right one.

Now David's power is growing stronger and stronger, and after Paiden stepped down, the White House has fallen into his control. It can basically be said that he has absolute control over everything.

So from now on they don't have to worry about being liquidated all day long.

"Cough cough..."

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, Yado Kun coughed meaningfully and fixed his eyes on Gavin.

Gavin also immediately came back to his senses and looked at David and said, "It's like this, Inspector General David, we have something we want to discuss with you."

"what's up?"

Gavin looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them. He lowered his voice and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should have a lot of deployments against the three major groups next, right?"

"So what?"

David narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yagavin with suspicion.

Gavin shuddered at being looked at with such a cold gaze, and quickly explained: "Don't misunderstand Inspector General David, this is what we mean."

"Although the three major groups have suffered a great blow during this period, their vitality still exists. If we want to continue to crack down on them, the assistance of law enforcement agencies is indispensable."

"But... we have studied it and found that many of our FBI's equipment, facilities, and human resources are currently insufficient. Therefore, we would like to apply for a sum of money from the tax revenue from the Tax Avoidance Act to enhance our coverage of them. What do you think..."

Gavin's words were quite wise.

It is true that they want money, but he did not do it openly like Yellan did before. Instead, he hinted that the FBI wanted to take the IRS's money and do the IRS's work.

In this case, there was no reason for David to refuse.

After hearing these words, David finally understood the real reason why these two people came to him.

But since they had already said they wanted to use their funds to help them, David naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only reply: "Since you've asked me that, I'll try my best to help you with the funding when the time comes."

"Then I'll have to trouble Inspector General David..."

When they heard David agreed, they were secretly happy.

With this funding, they will be able to deploy more forces to target the three major groups in the future.

The most crucial point is that the two of them can also use the funds they bring back to raise their prestige in the department to a higher level!

"But I have to tell you in advance that you must use this money where it should be used. If I find out that it has gone to a place where it shouldn't go, you know the consequences!"

If, as Gavin said, the funds applied for were for FBI work, then David would naturally have no objection, but if it ended up flowing into the pockets of certain people, this would naturally be intolerable, so he had to issue a warning.

"Don't worry, Inspector General, this money will definitely be used where it should be used!"

The two of them also made a promise with a tense look. (End of this chapter)
