“Whoosh~ Whoosh~”

The sound of flipping through documents was rising and falling, the senators were looking at pictures, Lisa continued to present.

“On the upper half of page ninety-one, in that group photo, both Chan and I appeared, at that time, we were at Red Street in San Rodolfo where the homeless gather, doing activities.

He is now the president of New Era, and I am the CEO of New Era, both of us have come a long way and our contributions to charitable causes are far beyond this.

Respected senators, OC is a business corporation, but it has never distributed dividends to shareholders even once!

Why?

Because our profits are all used for charity!

This is also the reason why I dare to stand here.

If you don’t believe me, you can go to the streets and ask those who have received donations from OC, they will give you the answers!”

Domis remained silent, he understood there was a trick, but having tricks is normal.

In the pictures, the president and CEO of New Era were standing on the dirty and chaotic streets, they were smiling brightly, seemingly truly proud of their actions.

In the auditorium, Cheng Daqi stood up, applauding.

Will, as if waking from a dream, also stood up and applauded.

Scattered applause arose (few people), everyone in the venue collectively gave Lisa the highest praise.

“Alright, the next section, West State Logistics, Lisa, West State Logistics is a well-known business company, it has a significant market share in the Midwest and West Coast.

I must remind you, in America, no large logistics group has ever received a non-profit certification in any state.

If we give West State unequal tax terms, then it would be unfair to other companies in the industry!”

Another senator took Domis’s place, questioning from a different angle.

“You are mistaken, West State Logistics is inherently non-profit, its merger into New Era is just a change of management!

In Missouri, it obtained a state-level non-profit certification, if you all disagree with West State’s non-profit certification in California, then we can divest it from New Era.” Lisa responded calmly.

Bang!

Like talking big, right?

Face slapped swollen!

Domis leaned aside, whispering to the questioner whose face had turned red.

“The tax situation of such large groups is quite special, its subsidiaries pay regular taxes, but the headquarters is located in Missouri…..put it this way, West State is not the focus of today’s inquiry.”

“You ask then…” the senator with the swollen face whispered back.

For the senators involved in the inquiry, they actually have no motivation to nitpick.

New Era had clearly shown its intent to become one of California’s major money backers, these capitalists daring to push for a second inquiry over certification indicates they have already applied pressure behind the scenes.

Domis shook his head, continuing to ask.

“Lisa, I noticed in your documents, you describe West State as ‘highly effective in helping incarcerated individuals reintegrate into society,’ what specifically does this effectiveness refer to?”

Will’s expression twisted.

Would it not be effective?

LAPD is Gru’s, New Era belongs to General Cheng, Temir and others, Gru is their dog.

Whether it’s effective or not, it’s just a word from Gru.

This combination of political and economic power is simply unreasonable, theoretically, America’s legislatures at various levels have regulatory functions, but Cheng Daqi’s clique have eroded the stance of the legislature by various means.

In a sense, today’s inquiry meeting could be regarded as a classic American political farce.

Comparable to Boeing’s inquiry—this is a compliment, for capitalists, a compliment.

“Alright, esteemed Senator Domis, among the employees of West State, eleven percent have been criminally prosecuted and convicted, we have made a significant contribution in helping these fallen individuals reintegrate into society.

Additionally, recently, West State Logistics and multiple Prisons in San Rodolfo launched a special program, specifically speaking, you all can understand it as allowing them to serve sentences outside the prison, enabling them to earn income, and reform better.

According to the report from Joel Research Institute, this innovative cooperation can greatly reduce the possibility of these criminals reoffending after their release!

By the way, the summary and diagrams of the report are on page sixty-four.”

Joel Research Institute, officially known as ‘Joel Dracula Institute,’ is the think tank run by General Cheng and others.

Actually, by now, many peripheral senators not so familiar with New Era had already understood the situation.

West State Logistics has a non-profit certification in Missouri—its background is not simple.

Collaborating with prison for criminal slave labor—nothing simple about that background.

Eleven percent of employees have spent time behind bars—nothing simple about that background.

This type of formidable force gets stuck on their first application for a non-profit organization; there’s definitely something problematic there.

The astute have already noticed Geweil sitting in the audience.

Of course, not everyone buys into Niusen’s story, but Lisa has already spent a lavish round, sending out millions of Dollars to smooth this process.

You may look down on the California Clique, not buying into Niusen’s narrative, but as an American, you must adhere to Washington’s, right?

“Hmm, I’ve noticed something, the recently uproarious BEC coin, seems like your New Era is also involved.”

Non-profit organizations can engage in necessary financial investments, but why choose cryptocurrency?

Investing heavily in an area with weak regulation, Lisa, this isn’t quite compliant.”

Domis was very polite, his colleagues recognized the politeness in his tone.

“This isn’t quite compliant”

Wrong, anyone who sees it knows there’s a problem!

“Senator, BEC coin is just a part of New Era’s investment in the cryptocurrency sector; we’ve also invested in several cryptocurrency startups, like the equally hot LCE—a Californian’s own cryptocurrency platform.”

For these investments, we have an independent third-party accounting firm’s audit report on page forty-nine.

Cryptocurrency regulation is known to be challenging, but this regulation challenge exists only in the transaction process; for New Era, every piece of money has a clear source and destiny.”

“We welcome regulation, and we aren’t afraid of investigations; after all, investigations will only reveal the truth.

New Era has no shady dealings behind the scenes.”

After Lisa spoke, she reached for the pure water in front of her and took a calm sip.

Domis felt a slight sweat forming on his forehead, of course, there were backroom dealings; he had received quite a bit of cash…

No more questions can be asked, to continue would be impolite.

Especially not about MAS, that thing is entirely inconsistent with the non-profit model.

—————–

Cheng Daqi personally drove his top general home after just defeating their rivals.

“Today’s response was brilliant, Will was petrified.”

The blonde lady was puzzled.

“What?

Am I that scary?”

It’s not about being scary, but her speech had a lot of substance and flair.

Like…

“No, when you said ‘although I am a biological female’, Will immediately sat up straight, and those dozing legislators didn’t dare slack off either, hahaha.”

Cheng laughed heartily, but Lisa, thinking of Geweil, the money given to those senators, and the efforts Cheng Daqi made behind the scenes, felt somewhat despondent.

“Cheng, is my effort meaningless?

Was the outcome already predetermined, and am I just moving myself?”

Hearing this, Cheng Daqi glanced sideways; he saw the earnestness in the blonde lady’s eyes.

“Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?”

Cheng posed the dilemma.

Lisa’s eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled.

“Tell me the lie first, I want to be happy for a bit.”

“The lie is, today during the inquest your attitude wasn’t well controlled, still too confrontational, but achieving this much on your first try is already great, just be mindful next time.”

Men are too scheming, yet Lisa still felt somewhat reassured.

She hadn’t done too well, but Cheng Daqi was understanding.

No wonder I put so much effort into this!

“Okay, what’s the truth then?”

Cheng Daqi slowed down his speech, uncommonly serious.

“Without you, I couldn’t have got to where I am today, Lisa, from OC, to MAS, to New Era, this is not just my career, it is our career.”

“You care deeply about it, wanting everything to go smoothly, hence the lengthy report, haha, Domis took almost two hours to flip through, yet you could recite every page’s content.”

“See, you’ve done incredibly well, the kind of well that no one else could achieve.”
