Chapter 796: Chapter 399: The Bill Officially Takes Effect
 

“Mr. Spokesperson, does that mean the President is prepared to sign this bill?” asked a reporter from the Washington Post in the White House press briefing room.

“I have already said, Mr. President is currently having the Senate prepare a detailed report on the bill. Once the report is submitted, the President will make the correct decision!”

“Mr. Spokesperson…”

Realizing that the White House spokesperson had given an evasive answer, the assembled media naturally refused to accept it and continued to pose questions relentlessly over the next period.

Equipped to handle the press, the spokesperson, adept at deflecting, managed to sidestep every pressing question from the media.

And so, this White House statement on the offshore tax evasion bill came to an end.

Over the following days, everyone closely monitored the movements of the White House.

It was not until January 25 that a Senate spokesperson came forward claiming that the report on the bill was ready and had been submitted to the White House, providing everyone with some relief.

The next morning, Vice President Katherine brought the returned offshore tax evasion bill back to the White House, which put everyone on edge.

Internal Revenue Service.

David Obadiah and other top officials gathered in the conference room. Although they were fairly certain that Payden would sign the bill, their minds were still tense at the moment.

“Has there been any movement from The Big Three Groups these past few days, David?” Welton Heng asked during the wait.

“The Ansa Group and the Illuminati have sent multiple messages wanting to negotiate,” David replied. “I ignored them. They became infuriated and threatened to run the companies into the ground, claiming that even if our bill passed, the subsequential tax collection would be minimal.”

“Heh, I do believe they would put out such threats. But haven’t you already arranged with Kennedy and the heads of families in various states that if it comes to that, they could divert funds to take over these companies? That would be a good resolution.”

“Yes, so that’s nothing to worry about…”

“Look quick, it looks like there’s a result!”

Donald’s exclamation drew everyone’s attention to the large screen.

The image showed the White House Chief Administrator Wylder stepping out in front of the media, pressing down with both hands and saying, “Hello everyone, President has reviewed the complete chapter report of the offshore tax evasion bill and after repeated verifications and considerations, he believes there are no significant issues with the bill. So, just now, Mr. President has officially signed it. I am now officially announcing that the offshore tax evasion bill has been successfully enacted!”

“Fantastic!”

“Hard work pays off! After facing so many challenges, this bill has finally been enacted!”

“Nice, capitalists of America, from now on, you can no longer use overseas registration to evade taxes. Everyone must pay their taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and use them to benefit our great people!”

…

Supporters of the bill had waited anxiously for this anti-legislation success.

Today, their wishes have been fulfilled, naturally exciting all the supporters.

Internal Revenue Service.

“Wilgood, it’s finally settled!”

“It’s finally been enacted, and it was worth all the effort during this time!”

“Fantastic!”

Hearing the official announcement from the White House, Obadiah, Welton Heng, and other top officials hugged and high-fived, immersing the conference room in a joyful atmosphere.

However, it’s worth noting that David, compared to everyone else, did not show much excitement but rather looked hollow-eyed.

Strictly speaking, he wasn’t unhappy; he had just been too burdened with work for the bill over this period.

Now that the bill had successfully been enacted and settled, his constantly tense nerves finally relaxed, and after the adrenaline faded, he felt overwhelming exhaustion.

“David, you’ve worked hard these past days. Here’s what, take some time off to rest and recuperate. We can handle the rest slowly, no rush,” Obadiah suggested, understanding the work pressure David had endured.

“Thank you, Director. I have indeed been very tired recently. I’ll take a few days off to catch up on some sleep.”

With the bill enacted, the task of auditing the tax statuses of the major companies could be handled by others, and he could now take a good rest and rejuvenate.

…

With the enactment of the offshore tax evasion bill, supporters and everyone at the Internal Revenue Service rejoiced, but it’s always true that some rejoice while others mourn.

In Washington D.C., northwest, inside a manor’s grand hall.

Present were David’s old acquaintances – Reze, Cyril, Jeff, and many others, all major members of the Ansa Group.

Notably, the expressions of nearly all these dozens of people looked as if someone dear had died.
