At the same time, in the office of the director of the Saibin Federation Tax Bureau, another conversation was taking place.
On one side was the owner of the office, the director of the local tax bureau, and on the other side was the highest official in the state office.
The structure of the Baylor Federation Tax Bureau was relatively simple. The highest authority was the Baylor Federation Tax Bureau, and the highest official was the director of the bureau. Other than the various offices in the bureau, there were also the tax administrative offices of the Federation in each state.
These state administrative offices did not accept any tax related services. They were just simple administrative agencies. In some ways, they did not have as much power as the federal tax bureau in each region. However, they were in charge of the administrative work of local tax officials, such as the assessment of local tax officials. Thus, they had more hidden power.
It had only been a day since the incident happened, but it had already alerted the director of the Federation Tax Bureau. He asked his subordinates to resolve this matter as soon as possible so that the public would not be in an uproar.
In another world, there was a saying, "Whoever started the trouble needs to end it." In this world, there was a similar saying. Perhaps the language and the way of expression were different, but the way people thought was similar.
"Michael's work can be stopped. Let him disappear from the public's sight for now. Also, I heard that he suspects that there might be something wrong with this Lynch?"
The commissioner of the state office had a hint of coldness in his voice. This made the director a little nervous. He was already in his fifties. Even if he did not want to give his position to others, he would not be able to hold it for long.
Especially if his successor was promoted from below, he could only work there for two to three years at most. After all, his successor needed time to familiarize himself with the work so that he could better serve the Federation.
Then, there was a small problem that he had to solve. During his retirement period, should he enjoy the leisurely life of retirement, or should he painstakingly and painstakingly work for nothing?
They were all "promoted", and some of their jobs were very leisurely. For example, the consulting team under the state office did not even need to go to their workplace. They only needed to show up and say a few words when there was a need.
This kind of place was prepared for the management personnel who were about to retire. It was leisurely, had a high salary, and even better treatment. After toiling for the Federation for their entire lives, it could be considered a comfortable retirement.
However, there were also some places that were not so satisfying. For example, the state-level archives and evidence management office. All the archives and evidence of the entire state would eventually be gathered here, and there was no room for error. Just thinking about it made people feel afraid. It was really tiring to be in such a position.
In the end, how he would be promoted and where he would be transferred to after his promotion would all be decided by the state office. At this moment, he was wiping the sweat off his face as he nodded repeatedly. "Yes …"
"Then investigate Lynch. Investigate hard and diligently. If we can prove that Lynch is indeed a criminal, we might be able to cool down the public opinion."
"Also, the higher-ups have some opinions about your behavior in Saibin City. I know that you are about to retire, but this is not an excuse for your inaction. We are a government department of the Federation, not a private enterprise. If you can really find a suitable reason, it is not impossible to get rid of you in a short period of time."
This sentence made the director's eyes suddenly tighten. The retirement standard of the Bailey Federation was fifty-six years old (female) and sixty years old (male). After retirement, they could be paid a pension according to the standard of social insurance contributions.
This standard was divided into three main levels: fifteen years, twenty-five years, and thirty-five years. Each level was further divided into four smaller levels.
If the director could work in the tax bureau until he was sixty years old, he would be able to receive the highest pension in the Federation, which was at least seven hundred and fifty dollars a month.
This amount of money might not be that conspicuous in many big cities, but in Saibin City, it was a huge sum of money for those who had retired. After all, the average income of the workers was only about two hundred dollars. The director alone was equivalent to the income of three workers.
However, if he did not pay the full thirty-five years of social insurance contributions, he would only be able to receive the second-tier pension. He would only receive about four hundred dollars a month, which was less than half of the third-tier pension.
The pension system had always been widely praised. What was even more unimaginable was that it was not the Federation government that pushed for this system to be passed. Instead, it was the new and old capitalist consortiums.
Some people said that this was a conspiracy because most people would not be able to pay the full thirty-five years of social insurance contributions. There were always some accidents in life, such as changing jobs or losing their jobs.
As long as the time was a little longer, the contributions would immediately be cut off, and they would not be able to get the full amount. This made it convenient for the capitalists to exploit their employees without worrying about the employees overreacting. If they wanted to live a less miserable life in their later years, they would have to accept the oppression obediently.
Once a person lost their ability to work and their source of income, their value in society would be reduced to zero. A person without value would not be able to survive in this society.
Not only would ordinary people be willing to accept any unfair treatment and exploitation for the sake of their pension, but they would also have to show that they were willing to sacrifice their personal interests for the sake of the company.
The director also had the same anxiety, so he had to save his life in his later years.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Then, he said, "Let me know as soon as possible. Let the higher-ups see that you are not doing nothing. Do you understand?"
The director nodded vigorously. Whether it was for his own dignity or his future pension, he vowed to defend everything he had. "Understood!"
In the next few days, the news and public opinion were still fermenting. Some of the more well-known upper-class people in society also began to gradually talk about the concerns of the law enforcement agencies with no restrictions. They felt that what happened to Lynch and others might not necessarily happen to them.
The statements of these people were affirmed by many people at the bottom of the society. However, these people at the bottom of the society would never realize that these people were the dream spokesmen of the Federation, which had risen rapidly in recent years or more. They were also the people who needed and feared power.
However, these things were still too far away from Lynch. After resting in the hospital for three days, Lynch returned to work. Richard and the others had saved a lot of money, so they exchanged it all in one go and started to get busy again.
Vivian also returned to the office. She and her husband were in a cold war and had slept in separate rooms for several days.
The more the situation was like this, the more she felt a sense of crisis in her heart. If she could not achieve financial independence, once her family was in trouble, she would lose everything.
"Boss, here's five thousand yuan …" Richard once again proved his value with his super high speed.
During this period of time, he finally raised his head in front of his family. His daily income, which ranged from a few dozen yuan to a few hundred yuan, had shocked his family and made them speechless. This also showed him a bright future.
Lynch nodded. He asked Richard to pour the change into a small cart. After writing a check and asking Vivian to give him a receipt, Lynch pushed the cart into a small room behind the warehouse.
The moment he turned on the ultraviolet light, the green light was dazzling!
