MTL - Happy Little Mayor-Chapter 10 That smile
I came to New Zealand for a week. Wang Bo was watching TV and learning English that day. Charlie suddenly found him and took him to the town hall.
Wang Bo asked, "Are there any clues about the female ghost?"
Charlie shook his head and said, "No, it's the end of your nationality change. You're going to the court to go through the formalities now."
Wang Bo asked: "So fast?"
Charlie smiled slightly: "Special events!"
At the city hall, a middle-aged white woman waited there, verified Wang Bo's identity, and handed him a small black book printed with the golden New Zealand national emblem and a bill, the former being a green card and the latter being his Tax form with tax card inside.
The two most important cards in New Zealand are the driver's license and the tax card. The tax card is issued by the Inland-Revenue-Department. It is referred to as the IRD card. It has a set of eight or nine-digit tax numbers. This is Wang. The tax payment number after Bo.
"Be sure to collect your IRD card and don't evade taxes. Brothers believe me. The best thing about New Zealand is not the army but the tax office. Don't mess with them!" Charlie urged.
Wang Bo nodded: "I understand that two things in life are inevitable, death and paying taxes, right?"
Charlie grinned, "That's right!"
Then the middle-aged woman took Wang Bo to an office, gave him a piece of paper with some words translated in Chinese and English, and then asked him to read the flag of New Zealand and the flag of the British royal family.
Wang Bo knows that this is an indispensable part of British immigrants. According to British law, every immigrant must swear allegiance to the Queen of Britain when she joins the nationality of the country. Although the oath itself is a religious act, New Zealand is also known as the "land of freedom" and guarantees people's freedom of belief, but there is no "no oath" freedom.
But now that's just doing it. The judge in charge is an old gentleman with grey hair, who is dozing absently.
In front of Wang Bo, a white man was sworn. He stood solemnly with his right hand solemnly pressed against his left chest, while raising his left palm forward, and said in a solemn voice piously:
"I solemnly swear here, I swear, I completely renounce my citizenship and loyalty to any foreign prince, monarch, country, or sovereignty to which I belonged, and I will be faithful and sincere to Her Majesty New Zealand and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and their heirs Allegiance ... I hereby swear freely that there will be no mental impairment, excuses or reservations, and I ask God to help me as a New Zealand citizen! "
It's Wang Bo's turn, and he also learns that the white man is standing upright, pointing his left hand intently and his right hand forward, and groaned and said:
"The great mother of the Chinese nation, my baby is in Cao Yingxin and Han, you must believe that I entered the bourgeoisie to better serve the proletariat! And you must bless me, bless me The small town here is growing and growing, and I am willing to build my town into a paradise for our descendants of China. In the end, the Chinese nation, literacy and martial arts, have a long history and dominate the rivers and lakes ... "
The sleepy judge listened to him and looked at him with strange eyes. Wang Bo deliberately explained in stumbling English: "I'm sorry, I'm not good at English and English, and I can only take an oath in Chinese."
The judge nodded and drew a cross on his chest: "May your Chinese mother bless you to learn English well soon."
"..." Pharaoh left slumped. It seems that more people understand New Zealand's Chinese language than he expected.
Shortly after getting the green card and tax card, Charlie came to find him again, saying that the town's application was approved by the National Assembly, and he was asked to sign a ballot and letter of appointment, so he was the first mayor of Sunset Town.
Wang Bo was stunned: "The town application was approved so quickly? The New Zealand civil service system is so efficient?"
"It's still something special." Charlie said with a smile, very happy, as if he had done something.
Wang Bo looked at the ballot papers and the letter of offer. He was English in general and could only understand the general meaning, but Charlie was patient and he translated for him if he did not understand.
This ballot is very important. It is included in the file of the town. The mayor of New Zealand is decided by ballot. Sunset Town has only Wang Bo, a townsman, so he writes who is the town mayor.
Signing his own name again, Wang Bo smiled bitterly: "I'm probably the only barefoot commander and mayor in the world?"
Charlie smiled and collected the ballots and letters of appointment, and then turned into a magic. He turned out his fingers and took out a green ballot, wrote Wang Bo's name on it, and squeezed his eyes: "Now you have a town citizen . "
Wang Bo said happily, "Have you joined my town?"
"You have to give me an honorary town citizen," Charlie said smugly.
Wang Bo gave a thumbs up and praised, "Charlie, my brother, you are too eloquent. I can not only make you an honorary town dweller, but I can also give you a job. Say, which department do you want to work in? "
Charlie shrugged. "Forget my man, I think my job is good. Let's not be stupid in the room. Let's go out for a big dinner to celebrate this. You have become the mayor. Brother, mayor! "
Wang Bo was also very excited, and then went out with Charlie. He said that he hadn't walked around after he arrived in New Zealand. In the past two days, he has been dealing with the information and the Internet about the haunted castle.
Charlie was very familiar with Omarama. He didn't know where to get a Toyota overbearing. He drove Wang Bo straight to a place called "Straw Field".
The small town seemed to be engaged in activities in the past two days. Many streets were decorated. People from the surrounding towns and cities came here, and the original spacious roads were crowded. Toyota was slow to drive.
Wang Bo curiously watched the decoration on the streets outside. After a while, he was not interested. When he thought of eating, he asked, "Aren't we going to have a big meal? Where is this straw field? Is there a farmhouse in New Zealand?"
Charlie said: "Of course there is farmhouse in New Zealand, but this straw field ..."
He spoke only halfway, then suddenly and quickly stepped on the brakes to shift the gear and finally released the brakes, the car stopped suddenly.
Wang Bo was startled and thought what happened: "What happened?"
Charlie didn't answer. He pushed the door and jumped out of the car. Then leaning on the door and smiling, he said, "Hi, Irina, where are you going?"
Wang Bo got out of the car, he looked forward, and his heart jumped suddenly.
In front of a cold drink shop, a girl in a white shirt and pen skirt is squatting halfway down the road to wipe a six- or seven-year-old boy's sweat. Hearing Charlie's voice, he turned to look at the two.
The girl in her twenties is full of tenderness and temperament, which is very rare among white people. She wore a pair of rimless glasses, with eyebrows like jade feathers, cherry lips, and teeth, and her small nose was slightly raised. The light golden hair was combed with a ponytail hanging over the shoulders, soft and smooth, and the luster flowing, and the sun shone on it as if sliding.
After seeing her appearance, Wang Bo looked down, her waist was like a beam, her legs were slender — she wore transparent crystal shreds on her legs. When she saw this, she took a sigh of coolness and whispered: "Fuck, shredded Glasses, I'm done! "
Charlie ignored him and continued to wave at the girl, and the girl saw a polite smile when she saw him, and then took the little boy's hand and came over and beckoned and said, "Hi, Mr. Stallone, hello."
**** Guess what is the position of this girl? Hahaha, the first beauties have appeared. What about everyone's recommendations and collections? Not yet in the arms of beautiful women! Finally, ask for a ticket, we have to rush, the data can't rise, it hurts!
