Chapter 748: Chapter 375: The Eve of the Vote

“Mr. Henrietta, I’ve delayed the legislative number issue for a few days on your behalf, and it has clearly upset the Internal Revenue Service. It’s likely that David is already preparing to deal with me.”

“If I step forward now, who can assure me that with his methods, he won’t do something to me? I’m about to retire and don’t want to get involved in too many disputes…”

Nancy showed a troubled expression.

“Speaker Nancy, I know you are about to retire, but don’t forget that the midterm elections have already started. Now that David has reached agreements with so many congressmen, can your plans really be implemented smoothly?”

Upon hearing this, Nancy’s expression immediately darkened.

But before he could continue his thoughts, Joshua added, “You just mentioned that Josh has colluded with David, and who finalized the legislative number?”

...

“It was Josh!”

“And why would he take the risk of offending both you and me to handle this legislative number?”

“He must have received promises from David’s side!”

“With his position as the House Whip, what kind of promise do you think could sway him?”

“As far as I know, this man is not without ambition. With his position as House Whip and with David’s support, what do you think will happen to your prized Speaker of the House seat?”

After this conversation, Nancy’s face turned utterly grim.

Do you think she never considered why Joey would help with that bill coding?

Obviously, that’s impossible!

She just wanted to pretend to be confused at first and think about how to deal with it later.

But now, with Henrietta and Joshua’s successive remarks, which seemed like reminders to her, how could she not understand the underlying implications?

That is, if she does not stand with The Big Three Groups, then not only could her political arrangements before retirement possibly be disrupted by David, but The Big Three Groups might also trip her up!

“Join us, Ms. Nancy. I can’t guarantee everything, but at least for this midterm election, we can ensure manpower and financial support for your ‘protegés.’ Even if Josh gets full support from David, with us, your chances of winning will be significantly higher.”

Henrietta continued to press the issue.

As for Nancy, after carefully weighing her options, she really didn’t have many choices.

If Josh really did gain David’s support, and now David had garnered so many seats in Congress.

When it came to the critical moment of the midterm elections, those votes would certainly be used against her previous arrangements!

And if she offended The Big Three Groups at this juncture, all the political capital she had left could vanish in an instant.

But now, if she fully supported The Big Three Groups and gained their support, perhaps there could be a turning point.

After weighing the pros and cons, Nancy gritted her teeth and said, “Fine, Mr. Henrietta, I will fully intervene in this bill, but you must keep your promise just now!”

“Of course!”

Henrietta finally showed a hint of a smile, then said, “Okay, that’s enough for today’s meeting. And you all, before the voting begins, spare no expense to win over the congressmen from various states to increase our chances of winning!”

“Understood, Mr. Henrietta!”

Everyone present agreed in unison.

With the current Speaker of the House helping to lobby, the next steps might not be easy, but the effect of their efforts would certainly be doubled!

The day after the meeting ended and she returned to Washington D.C,

Nancy did not delay at all and immediately convened a large number of Washington D.C. congressmen in her capacity as Speaker.

During this meeting, she drastically changed from her usual conciliatory demeanor, sternly warning the congressmen to make the ‘right’ choice on the offshore tax avoidance bill and not to be manipulated by ‘villains’!

Given her identity as Speaker of the House and her ruthless methods, many congressmen who had already spoken with David started hesitating.

Some, unable to withstand the pressure, even announced on the spot their commitment to follow Nancy’s lead, making various promises.

Shortly after, in the Inspector General’s Office of the Internal Revenue Service.

Elvis walked in with a serious expression and said, “There has been a situation.”

“What kind of situation?”

David shifted his focus from the documents and looked up at him.

“Nancy has personally entered the fray, now she’s frantically intimidating and coercing those congressmen, urging them to make the so-called ‘right’ decision!”

Upon hearing this, David’s brow slightly furrowed.

Nancy had controlled Congress for so many years and always had a domineering and ruthless style. If she personally came forward to intimidate and coerce, although not all congressmen might listen to her, quite a few might not be able to withstand the pressure, resulting in them potentially switching sides.

Keeping Nancy around seemed to be a nuisance; they should have thought of a way to deal with her earlier!

But now, it was too late; the bill was like an arrow on the bow that had to be shot!

“Forget it, let’s not worry about her now; we’ll continue according to the original plan. Also, tell your department to work some extra shifts these next few days. I want to know every move of every congressman on our side!”

David said in a grave tone.

“Understood!”

In the following days.
