Chapter 179: Sensational Nevada resignation
"Laurie, don't think you can do whatever you want with that David behind you!"
Looking at Stevenson's face distorted by anger, Laurie was not afraid at all, shrugged his shoulders and replied: "I don't know if I can do whatever I want, but you, Governor Stevenson, I'm afraid you can't do whatever you want in the future." ”
Stevenson heard that the other party was sarcastic about him, the governor was about to do the end, and immediately gritted his teeth and replied: "Good, good, good, Laurie, Aldington, I'll remember you both, get out of here!" ”
With Laurie and Aldington spearheading the rebellion, he already knew that it was impossible to get the farm bill done with the help of the state government, so there was no need to keep these people here to show off their might.
Having already torn their faces, Laurie and Aldington didn't want to waste time here, so they immediately got up and left.
Seeing the departure of the two, the state secretary-general, the treasurer, and the directors of the bureau also left without saying a word.
In a short time, in the huge conference room, only the pale-faced Stevenson and Eugene remained.
"These damn bastards, I can't spare them!"
Eugene thought to himself, you can't protect yourself now, and you can't spare others?
Of course, thinking about it, he didn't dare to say it directly, but instead spoke: "Without the cooperation of various departments, it will be difficult to deal with the matter of the Farm Bill, and in addition, Lawson and David may continue to make trouble, Governor, the only way now may be to seek from Mr. Joshua to see if there is any other way......"
As Stevenson's confidant, he naturally knows the relationship between Stevenson and the Mogen family.
As soon as he heard that he was going to ask the Mogen family for help, Stevenson's face instantly turned red,
He was the governor of Davada, and he had been working in the state for nearly eight years, but in the end, he was so embarrassed by a small tax collector that he was even forced to turn to the head of the Mogen family for help.
It's like an adult fighting with a child, and if you can't beat other children, you just have to go back to your dad for help, which is simply too embarrassing.
Think about it.
In the current situation, there seems to be no other way than to turn to the Demon Root Family for help.
In the end, Stevenson could only grit his teeth and pick up the phone and dial a number: "I'm Stevenson, I have something urgent to contact Uncle Joshua." ”
His wife is the niece of Joshua, the head of the cactus of the Mogen family, and he naturally wants to be called Uncle Joshua.
About two minutes later, a hoarse voice came from the other end of the line: "I'm Joshua, say it." ”
"Uncle Joshua, I'm sorry to bother you so late, but I'm in big trouble here, and I really have to ask you for help......"
Stevenson recounted the cause and effect of the incident, and then paced back and forth with the phone in a nervous manner.
After about 1 minute of silence, a voice came from the other end of the phone: "Stevenson, you have disappointed me so much......"
Stevenson's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained: "I'm sorry Uncle Joshua, it's really that damn David who is insidious, not only secretly collected my handle, but also plotted against Laurie and Aldington's two ......"
"That's it!"
Joshua on the other end of the line interrupted Stevenson's explanation and continued, "Hold a press conference and announce your resignation." ”
"What! Resign? ”
Stevenson's eyes widened at the boss, and he looked dumbfounded.
Why did he bite the bullet and call Joshua?
In order to let the other party use the strong strength of his family to help him resolve this crisis.
But now the other party asked him to resign?
It gave him the feeling that he had been badly injured but not dead, but was now being carried straight into the coffin.
"Tell me clearly, the Golden Ear Bridge and the Farm Bill have been fermented in Nevada, if you are exposed to other scandals next, no one will be able to save you at that time, resign to make things down, and then find other plans, it is your best choice now, Dudu Dudu......"
This time, before he could reply, the other end of the phone was hung up, leaving only a beep and Stevenson who was stunned in place.
"Governor, what did Mr. Joshua say?"
Hearing Eugene's call, Stevenson finally came back to his senses and said with a dead face: "He asked me to resign......"
"Resignation ......"
Eugene was also stunned, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem too surprising that the Demon Root family gave such an answer.
After all, the public opinion of the Farm Bill is too big, and it is unlikely that the Mogen family will be able to fully suppress it.
And even if it is suppressed, who dares to guarantee that David will not instruct Lawson tomorrow and then the whole big news on the TV station will come out?
If it were to be made in big news again, maybe the situation would be even worse.
And now that he has resigned, the pressure of public opinion will definitely gradually weaken, and with the operation of the Demon Root Family, maybe the whole thing will pass like this.
Although he lost the governor's throne, if he can get out of the way, he may not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.
The so-called staying in the green mountains is not worrying about no firewood.
Thinking of this, Eugene immediately admonished: "In that case, the governor, follow Mr. Joshua's wishes, resign first, anyway, your term of office is coming soon, as long as this matter is resolved, we still have a lot to do in the future......"
Stevenson understood this, and was silent for several minutes, and finally he reluctantly said, "Prepare for tomorrow's press conference." ”
It wasn't just Stevenson who couldn't sleep all night.
Throughout Nevada, there are also people who can't sleep at night.
Some people are still denouncing Stevenson about the Farm Bill, and some people are worried about their own future.
And just like that, the time came the next morning.
Not long after David arrived at the Ninglin Branch, Simmons Nissenbarky and a few people broke into his office and said, "Tax Collector, I have just been notified that the Governor will hold a press conference at the official residence in ten minutes. ”
David was stunned for a moment, then said, "Turn on the TV." ”
Simmons immediately turned on the TV set hanging on the wall and tuned to the largest television station in Nevada, only to see that the picture was the door of the governor's residence, and a large number of media had already arrived at the scene.
In addition, it can also be seen that some agricultural people have gathered at the governor's mansion without knowing when, not only waving various banners denouncing Stevenson, but also shouting various slogans demanding that Stevenson be held accountable for this bill.
It was 9:40 a.m.
Stevenson finally made it out of the mansion, though he was neatly dressed and his hair was well combed.
But through the bloodshot eyes and some facial appearances, it can be seen that his heart is not as bright as his appearance.
"Good morning, friends from the media, citizens, and viewers watching in Nevada, I'm Stevenson, Governor of Neva."
Stevenson first greeted everyone and then continued: "In view of Mr. Lawson's announcement yesterday about the Farm Bill, I admit that there are some details that I did not handle properly, and which caused the dissatisfaction of the majority of agricultural people. ”
"To that end, I am willing to take all my responsibilities, and from now on, I will officially step down as governor and thank Nevada voters for their support and love for me for nearly eight years......
As soon as the word resignation came out, the entire state of Nevada was dumbfounded.
They thought that today's press conference was just a response to the Farm Bill, and no one expected Stevenson to directly announce his resignation.
And many professionals have analyzed before, although the Golden Ear Bridge and the Farm Bill have plunged Stevenson into a scandal, they are far from the point of resignation.
Of course, they didn't know about the trouble that Laurie and Aldington had at the meeting last night, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a surprise.
"It seems that this Stevenson is still quite acquainted, and he actually resigned on his own initiative."
"He's still a smart man, if he continues to die, it will only cause more anger among the people, and now that he has resigned, he can at least extinguish the anger of the people."
“……”
For Stevenson's resignation, whether it is Davy, Simmons Nissen, Bucky, or others, there are not too many surprises.
Because they knew about the palace last night.
In the case of deep scandal and internal rebellion, even if they were Stevenson, the best way was to resign.
Las Vegas, Lake District Bureau.
After seeing Stevenson on TV announcing her resignation, Serena was also surprised and fell into a state of distraction.
Then, she immediately went to the bathroom, dialed her father's number, and said, "Father, are you watching Stevenson's press conference?" ”
"I'm watching, but I'm a little confused, why would Stevenson just announce his resignation?"
Obviously, Serena's father can also see that although Stevenson is involved in a scandal, it is far from the point where he has to resign now.
"I'm a little puzzled, but what is certain is that something else must have happened after Lawson announced the Farm Bill last night that forced Stevenson to resign."
"Whatever it is, it must have been planned by that Davy, this knife is really too sharp, even the governor can cut off the horse, I appreciate him more and more, but ...... Alas, how on earth can we get this knife into our hands? ”
Hearing this, Serena was also a little helpless.
Originally, she thought that David would be difficult to fight Stevenson, so she had long planned to wait for David to lose the upper hand, so as to provide some help in exchange for David's attachment or alliance.
What I didn't expect was that David needed their help, and he single-handedly single-handedly picked out the number one person in Nevada.
This not only greatly surprised her, but also made her a little unsure of how to win over David.
"That's right...... Serena, you've been under him for a short time, and you think he's ...... to you Kind of interesting? ”
"What are you talking about, father?"
Serena, of course, knew what her father meant, and her face turned red with a sudden.
"You also saw Serena, although this David is from an average background, but with his ability, sooner or later he can occupy a place in the IRS, this person we must co-opt, he is of great help to us, if it can be done by marriage, this is the best."
In American high society, marriage is a common way.
And if they want to tie David to the Ken Baddy family, how can there be a more stable way of marriage if they want to tie up the favor and kindness or something?
What's more, the current David is unstoppable, and there is no chance for them to use favors to win them over.
Then there is only one way to get married.
Serena was silent.
First of all, although David is of Asian descent, his overall appearance is not bad, and it is not an exaggeration to even describe him as outstanding.
Secondly, David led the armed forces into the Indian tribes, and overthrew the city halls of Sparks and Reno, and now even the biggest boss in Nevada has been defeated.
Anyone who accomplishes one of these things is enough to be called earth-shattering, and David has done four of them alone.
And females are born with a gene of admiring the strong, and Serena is naturally no exception, so from the bottom of her heart, she is not very repulsive to let her marry David.
But......
Out of the shyness of women, she was not too embarrassed to agree directly.
"If you really don't want to, then I'll talk to your cousin Moira about it and see what she thinks......"
It can be seen that Serena's father still cares about his daughter, and it is not like some families, who completely use their daughters or the women in the family as a tool for marriage for their own interests.
As soon as she heard this, Serena, who was still a little shy, tightened her face, and immediately said: "No father, Cousin Moira hasn't even seen David, I don't want to ruin her happiness for a lifetime, if I have to get married...... I...... I'm willing to make sacrifices......
"Okay, since you have said so, then I have wronged you Serena, but this matter is not in a hurry for now, and after the results of their god-making plan come out, we will talk to him about this matter slowly!"
Selina is the daughter of the Ken Maidi family, and if she marries a tax collector, her status is somewhat unequal.
That's why Serena's father planned that if David could quickly rise to the position of sub-director with the help of the god-making plan, it would be more suitable.
"Well, I understand my father'......"
While Serena's father and daughter were talking, Stevenson's press conference on the TV continued.
After announcing his resignation, he made another speech about his eight years as governor, which was nothing more than a celebration of how dedicated he has been and what he has contributed to Nevada.
And some professionals can also hear that these words are just a foreshadowing of Stevenson's resignation and taking other paths.
But where are most people in the mood to listen to this at the moment, they are still immersed in the bombshell news of Stevenson's resignation.
Ninglin Branch.
"Hmph, this Stevenson can really brag, he has been the governor of Nevada for so many years, I really don't see him contributing much."
"Listening to what he said, you probably think about resigning as governor and running for the Senate, the House of Representatives, or other positions, it's really beautiful."
"Tax Chief, what he thinks is indeed a little beautiful, why don't we continue to add fuel to the fire and kill him directly so that he can't turn over!"
In the temporary office, Buckinison Simmons and the others also saw Stevenson's careful thinking, and said viciously one by one.
But before David could reply, there was a knock on the door, and Betsy pushed the door in, and said, "Tax Collector David, Director Jon's secretary Monrosa is here, and he wants to see you." ”
Davy's brows furrowed slightly, didn't this Monrosa just come yesterday, why did he come again today?
He couldn't figure it out, so he had to reply, "Okay, then let him come." ”
Betsy nodded and turned to leave.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Menrosa walked in and said, "Meet Tax Chief David again." ”
"Secretary Monrose, I don't know what happened today?"
"Long story short, Director Jon asked me to ask you about Governor Stevenson's other, you ...... Or does Mr. Lawson still have it in his hand? ”
Hearing this, David's expression changed slightly.
He had already heard through the words of the other party when he spoke to them yesterday, and the Director Jon didn't want to get involved in the matter.
But now, the words of this Monrosa after his arrival are so straightforward, there must be something wrong with this.
Putting away his thoughts, he replied without moving: "I want to ask, what if there is or not?" ”
"That's right, Director Jon means that yes or no, this is the end of the matter, don't dig any further!"
As soon as these words came out, David's brows instantly furrowed, and the faces of Simmons and Nissenbaki, who were listening, were equally ugly.
As the so-called hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen.
Not to mention a governor.
If they don't turn Stevenson over now, then maybe the other side will come back in the future and cause them other troubles.
But if it's someone else, forget it.
Now that was Secretary Jon's order, they certainly couldn't disobey unless they didn't want to mess around with the IRS system in Nevada.
"Tax Collector David, I know this may be a little upsetting for you, but sometimes a lot of things are out of your own hands, even Director Jon is no exception, and that's what Director Jon asked me to convey to you."
Monrosa's words made David's eyebrows loosen.
Because he could hear it, it wasn't that Jon was deliberately making things difficult for him or anything, that some high-ranking people were putting pressure on Jon, and Jon had no choice but to ask him to stop killing Stevenson.
"Please tell Director Jon, I know what to do."
"That's good, don't bother, I'll go first."
