Although he was on his own plane, Link turned off his phone according to the rules of the flight.

He had just gotten off the plane and turned on his phone again, and the text message informed him that he had not answered the phone for seven years. And the calls are all from the same unknown number.

If it was a sales call, he wouldn't call so often, so he called back: "This is Link Hans." Who's calling me?"

"Hello Mr. Hans, I'm Melissa Duff of the New Mexico Department of Revenue. Yesterday on the phone with you. ”

Link frowned when he heard that it was her. He hadn't forgotten that the other party had threatened him yesterday.

He asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?"

"Yes. I hope to be able to meet with you about the lawsuit. Said on the other end of the phone. "I'm in Las Vegas right now. I wonder when Mr. Hans will be available?"

Link wanted to dry her for two days, but it would be better for him to think that it would be over sooner. He looked up at his watch and said, "I'm on Hans's farm now." I have time until six o'clock in the afternoon. ”

"Okay, I'll go to Hans's farm. Melissa Duff didn't dare to take Joe, and their tax office wanted to settle the lawsuit as soon as possible compared to Link.

The car drove back to the villa from the airport, which took about seven or eight minutes. As soon as Link got out of the car in the yard, he saw Ms. Hemmer playing with little Hannah in the front yard.

Little Hannah was now able to walk, and when the car drove into the yard, the little thing pounced on Ms. Hemmer and twisted her face to peek at the car.

When Link got out of the car, the little guy blinked, and when he saw who it was, he babbled and laughed and rushed towards him with his hands outstretched.

Seeing her stumbling and worried that she would fall, Link hurriedly crouched forward and grabbed her and lifted her into the air. The funny little guy laughed so much that his saliva flowed out before he held her in his arms.

Ms. Hemmer greeted her and smiled, "Link, are you back?"

Link nodded and said, "Yes." Ms. Hemer, I'm here to hang Hannah for a while. ”

Ms. Hemmer, of course, would not be unhappy. Parents can spend more time with their children, which is very important for their children's mental health during their growth. Although she is working and getting a salary, it does not prevent her from thinking about the people she works for. She laughed and said, "Then I'll go get some apple paste." ”

Little Hannah hadn't learned to walk for a long time, and she was running around the lawn. Sometimes, after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Link. That's when Link knew that the little guy wanted to play with her. He pretended to chase her. The little one smiled and turned and ran. After running a few meters, he stopped and looked back, and if he saw Link catching up, he screamed and laughed and turned to run.

The little guy played the game of "come and catch me" for a while, and when he was tired, he pounced on him and opened his hand, a pair of sky-blue eyes blinked, which was for him to hug.

Link carried her into the villa, and Ms. Hammer put the apple paste in front of Hannah and told her to eat it herself. And she told Little Hannah carefully about her movements throughout the day. She could tell that Link was listening carefully, which proved that Link loved Hannah's daughter very much.

As they spoke, Link's phone rang again. Link said "sorry" to Ms. Hemmer and answered the phone. It turned out that Melissa Duff had arrived. He asked the other party to come directly to the farm house.

It didn't take long for Melissa Duff's car to arrive. Link asks the bodyguard Ari to take the man into the study.

Link saw someone come in, and although he didn't like the other party, he shook hands with the other party according to etiquette: "Welcome, Miss Duff! He said and asked Ari to bring in two cups of coffee.

The coffee was ready-made, and Ari was quick to deliver it. After Ari left the study, Link didn't plan to go around with the other party: "Ms. Duff, you just said on the phone that you wanted to talk to me. ”

Melissa Duff looked at Link with a smile on his face, unsure of his true attitude towards the lawsuit. Still, she was inclined to trust Director Nolan's judgment that Link didn't really want to incriminate the IRS. Because even if he succeeds, he won't do much good.

Although she was sure of this, she also didn't think that the next negotiations with Link would be easy. Because the bottom line of the two sides is too far apart.

She didn't dare to be tough this time, and said with a smile on her face: "Mr. Hans, we regret that our staff mistakenly shared your farm information with the IRS as personal information, and we are very willing to correct it." We, the Director, think we owe it to you to express our sincere apologies. ”

Link clasped his hands on the desk, listened to her words, and smiled and said, "Yes, you should indeed make a change. But apologies are inevitable. I just want to see the people who made us misunderstand receive the punishment they deserve. ”

When Melissa heard this, her heart sank slightly. This Link Hans is indeed the purpose. This is also what the top management of their tax bureau is worried about.

The smile on her face did not change at all, and said, "After our review, we found that it was a mistake by the erroneous operation of the reporting commissioner that caused this misunderstanding. We have initiated accountability proceedings. ”

"So your tax commissioner has so much power!" Link said with a laugh.

Melissa still smiled, "Yes, Mr. Hans, there are people who always have something obscuring their eyes. You see, while that commissioner made a mistake, we also need to consider some of his circumstances. The commissioner has a large family, and he has hundreds of relatives. If he is thrown into prison for dereliction of duty, the entire family will have their reputation tarnished because of his imprisonment. We should not cause a large family to suffer significant reputational damage just by punishing one person. You say, right?"

"Thirty-six television stations, 268 major newspapers and periodicals, and almost all online media have accused me of being a selfish yellow pig. In Ms. Linda's eyes, the reputation of the Commissioner's family is very important, and I deserve it?"

Link didn't fail to hear the other party's hints. Of course, he knew that if he had to pursue it, he would pull out the radish and bring out the mud. But that's actually what he wants. He's just going to make things bigger, so that some people can remember them for a long time.

"I think the IRS has cleared up the misunderstanding in a timely manner and has saved your reputation to the greatest extent possible. Melissa put away her smile and said. "But our misunderstanding continues, and the IRS is very concerned about it. Because we belong to the same tax system, the misunderstanding between us also makes the work of the IRS difficult. ”

Link heard that she was threatening himself again. He admits to being a little afraid of the IRS, but he doesn't want to be weak either. There are people behind him who need to be protected. If he is weak, those behind him will be hurt.

He sneered, leaned forward, and said, "So all your tax systems should clear out all the black sheep." I'm giving you a great opportunity, aren't I?"

Eradicating black sheep is something that every agency and organization is willing to do. But what if it's the head horse that is the black herd?

"We will initiate an accountability process to hold those responsible accountable. Melissa Duff felt that the negotiations were on the verge of breaking. But she couldn't respond positively to Link's terms.

"Who's responsible? a little tax officer?"

Melissa couldn't answer that question. She was silent for a moment and said, "Please believe that we will give you a satisfactory answer." However, we also hope that Mr. Hans will remove the inappropriate remarks about our bureau from the social networking site. That's already affecting our normal work. ”

Link leaned back and said, "I don't admit to this charge." Because your work isn't normal!"

By this time, Melissa knew that negotiations could not continue. However, she also knew that her greatest role was to play an outpost and clarify Link's purpose.

She asked, "What does Mr. Hans want us to do?"

"Can I have hope for you? Maybe I'd like the people of New Mexico to suggest that a few pigs from Hanovara could be swapped out. I don't want a salary, I just think I'm doing something for New Mexico. ”

His sarcasm even included Melissa Duff. But it took so many years for her to get to the top of a state tax office. There are still some of them.

She took a long breath and said, "We need to know your conditions." Mr. Hans, only in this way can we work together to clear up this misunderstanding. ”

Link stared into her eyes and said, "I don't have any conditions, I just want to see all those responsible punished this time." Remember, it should be all responsible. When I see that all those responsible have been appropriately punished, I will drop the case against you. ”

Getting the news she wanted, Melissa didn't want to linger any longer, and said goodbye to Link straightforwardly. Link, of course, won't keep it.

As soon as Melissa Duff got into the car, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Brooke Nolan's number while driving the car: "Brooke, he demands that all those who should be held responsible be punished." …… Yes, but he didn't say who specifically. …… Okay, I'll talk about it when I get back. ”

Telephone conversations are not secure, and although Melissa Duff is a government official and cannot be wiretapped, there are always some eavesdroppers who are curious and use their power to eavesdrop on the calls of people who are not asked to wiretap. She didn't dare to say some shady things on the phone.

Link watched Melissa Duff's car drive away from behind the windowsill in his study. Although he was tough just now, he also had to admit that Melissa Duff was right. If he had to get what he wanted, he would definitely involve the entire tax office.

He really wanted to make a big deal out of it, but it was not what he wanted to do if it was too big to get the whole thing out of control. But he was reluctant to let them go. Now he can only act on the opportunity.

Melissa Duff's arrival also reminded him of the advice that Merculi had given him yesterday. Tax avoidance is indeed an issue that the rich must consider.

He dialed Flon Pitt: "Flen, it's the weekend tomorrow, are you interested in coming to Las Vegas?"

When Fren heard him say this, he knew that Link had something to talk to him about, but he didn't want to talk about it on the phone. That should be the most important thing. So he laughed and said, "No, I have no interest in Las Vegas." But I'd like to go to Hans's farm for two days off. ”

"I'm always welcome!"
