Chapter 2322

Early the next morning, Michael went out early without even eating breakfast.

Sabine City is more or less on his side, and it has something to do with it, at least he thinks so.

He went directly to the Sabine City Federal Taxation Bureau. This place is not a "restricted area" and no one is allowed to enter.

On the contrary, both individuals and companies are allowed to go directly to the counter to fill out the tax declaration form, or consult about tax declaration related content.

After all, not everyone can clearly understand that "gifts between friends" also have to pay taxes!

Michael came early and found a seat to sit down. He wasn't here to file taxes, let alone consult.

There have also been some detailed changes to the federal tax law over the past 12 years, but basically little has changed.

This is nothing to an old investigator. He is here to wait for his former subordinates.

Michael admits that he can be... a bit savage when it comes to handling cases, but he's still good to his team.

Around 40:[-] in the morning, investigators began to enter the office building one after another.

Some people glanced at Michael and looked away.

12 years is too long, many novices have come here, and many people have forgotten him long ago.

Just after ten o'clock, Michael stood up suddenly, and he saw two investigators who had been following him.

They are now wearing decent formal attire, carrying a calfskin briefcase in one hand, and coffee worth five yuan from a chain brand outside the door in the other, walking in while chatting.

"Hi!", he called the names of the two, and the two stopped.

The six eyes met, and it took a moment for them to recognize Michael!

"My God, it's you!" The two went up one after the other and hugged each other.

"When did you come back?"

There were also some smiles on Michael's face, "Yesterday."

"This is not a place to talk, come to my office..."

The three walked into the office of one of them under the gaze of others.

A very grand office, just like the clothes they wear, they are decent, luxurious and not low-key at all.

The office furniture made of expensive wood shows that the Federal Taxation Service is a very profitable department. Michael sat on the sofa, and the owner of the office asked the secretary to bring a cup of good coffee, and the three sat together.

"You..." This is the captain's office. Michael looked at the two with some indescribable emotions in his heart.

Not intense, faint, but present.

Both of them smiled and nodded, "You have a new boss after you left, you know, at that time we both left because you and Johnson, so..."

Michael nodded embarrassingly. At that time, he was not only brutal to the outside world, but also very tough inside the tax bureau.

Toughness is a more implicit description, and to be straightforward is to often offend people.

And Johnson valued him very much. After all, for the superiors, the rough and brutal style is not only not a problem, but it is Michael's advantage——

In terms of controlling the office politics of subordinates, a subordinate who keeps committing crimes is easier to handle.

And that's true, Michael went too far, and Johnson temporarily suspended him, and he immediately became a lot more honest.

He was really a ferocious wolfhound in Johnson's hands, but he never knew it himself.

Johnson relied on him to solve many cases. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have a big backer behind him, if it wasn't for being too old, he might not be unable to climb up.

But no matter what, he left, Johnson also transferred, and Michael's subordinates lost their two biggest backers.

This is a devastating blow to them.

It just so happened that the new director took office at this time, and it was more in his interest to promote Michael's subordinates than to use those "orderly inheritance" investigators.

These people have nothing to rely on and can only rely on him.

Now three of Michael's subordinates have become captain-level investigators and have their own independent office.

Another person has become an assistant director. It is said that the current director thinks highly of them.

Listening to the two talking about the changes in the tax bureau over the years, Michael was very moved.

He is much more mature than before he entered, and whether he is mature or not has nothing to do with his age.

He would be in his 30s then, isn't he immature?
"...So, what are your plans now?"

Michael rubbed his face, he was embarrassed, but... Sometimes it doesn't matter how strong and stubborn you were in the past.

After recognizing the power and cruelty of reality, now, you must bow to reality.

"I haven't found a suitable job yet, but I already have a plan. Is there any informant fee here now?"

The other two looked at each other, one of them was silent, and the other said, "Yes, but not many."

"And this money is basically public now, and you have to go through a process before it can be approved."

In the past, Michael had a lot of informants, and it cost money to find informants to buy information or keep these people inquiring about news.

At that time, Johnson indulged him very much, and he spent 500 to [-] yuan every month to maintain the relationship and contact with the informants.

He wanted to ask for an informant fee, not because he wanted to be lazy, but because he was really short of money.

No matter what he wants to do, he must first have the capital, including working as a construction team. He also has to buy various equipment and personal supplies, and it also costs money to find manpower.

He now only costs about thirty yuan from top to bottom, which is not enough to support him to do other things.

He didn't speak, and one of them offered to say, "Well, I'll help you apply for an informant's funding, which is about 300 yuan per month."

"But the money probably won't last very long because ... you know, now the rules have changed and everything has to play by the rules."

"Unless you can produce some valid evidence, if you know who is evading taxes, you can also provide detailed evidence."

"According to the regulations, you can get part of it as a bonus!"

What else could Michael say besides saying thank you at this time?
At this point one of them got up to leave, he had to go back to his office.

The other person asked Michael to sit here for a while, and he went to fill out the expense form.

When Michael is alone in the room, he despairs.

He felt how proud he was in the past, but how humble he is now!
But this is the reality, what little Michael said is right, no matter what great plans he has, he has to stand up first.

300 yuan may not be much, but it is better than nothing.

About 10 minutes later, the man came back with an envelope, and he handed the envelope to Michael, "Here is 300 yuan, I will try my best to help you maintain it, and you can come to get the money on the seventh of every month, if it is It’s early on weekends.”

Michael took the envelope, and after a short silence, he hugged each other, "I can't find words to thank you for helping me!"

The man also responded with a smile, "You helped me a lot before, so you're welcome, just treat it as my repayment."

Michael knew that there was no reason and no need to stay any longer, let alone stay any longer. After leaving his contact information, he left the tax office.

The people behind him watched his back disappear behind the slowly closing door and shook their heads slightly.

He was such a proud person before, sometimes he didn't even give Johnson face.

But look now, it looks like a stray dog.

The news of Michael's return to Sabine City did not spread on a large scale, and he was not a celebrity, so not many people would pay attention to him.

After getting the money, Michael walked around Sabine for two days.

Sabine City at this time is completely different from when he left, it has changed a lot, and almost all of them are unfamiliar buildings.

He's trying to get a job!

But it's a pity that he doesn't want the job he wants to do——

Federals have a curious quality of writing letters of recommendation.

When an employee leaves a company, if he performs well, the company will write him a recommendation letter and recommend him to the next company he applies for.

If the performance is not good, there is no such recommendation letter.

Without a letter of recommendation, more detailed personal information is required.

After all, it is impossible for the interviewers to recruit everyone in the company, they have to select the suitable talents.

The better the position, the higher the salary, and the stricter the review.

They may even call the candidate's previous company to inquire about the performance of the other party.

And some labor positions, such as manual workers, are relatively loose.

But the income of manual workers in Sabine City is not high.

Heavy manual laborers in the Sabin City area can get about 380 yuan a month.

This place can't be compared with Bu Paine or a southern city, it's just a small city in the southwest.

The minimum hourly wage in Sabine City is 380 yuan. The factory workers here are basically dissatisfied with their work, so the wages are not high.

It's a little late for him to enter the factory now. He is 47 and eight years old. Even if he really wants to work, he may not be able to do it.

Physical strength and strength are not as good as young people. Hiring such old bones is worse than hiring an immigrant.

Cheap, but also bear hardships.

He also went to a law firm to try, and the other party had no interest in whether he had a criminal record or was a federal prisoner released from severe sentences.

In the end, it seems that I can only start a business.

Michael, who has been outside for another whole day, seems to have some ideas. There are more and more cars now, but there are not many places to wash them.

With a wooden bucket, a bucket of water, a rag, and some cleaning agents, you can earn ten yuan in ten minutes.

This is a good business. If we wash ten cars a day, we can earn 900 yuan a month for car washing.

Excluding the cost, he can at least save 700 yuan.

With the income of the informant, as long as he can last a year, he can get the start-up capital to do other things, such as opening a pizza shop with his son.

This is a good idea he came up with in the past two days.

After dinner, he ate something casually before going back. He didn't want Jane to quarrel with his son because of him.

When approaching his house, his raised foot suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then slowly fell.

Outside his house, there were several cars parked, and some guys in overcoats and peaked caps were smoking on the side of the road.

At first glance, these people don't look like good people!
