City of Angels.
In this day and age, anyone who could travel halfway across the globe in a spaceship was definitely not an ordinary person. Therefore, there was no need to guard against them as strictly as the barren people.
However, Gao Qi still felt a strong sense of malice at the immigration office.
After checking Gao Qi's ID, which was actually the No.1 residence permit that he had just obtained on the spaceship, the 50-year-old white woman immediately looked at him with disdain.
Gao Qi was surprised. The City of Angels had arranged for a woman to be in charge of registering the identity of the new arrivals at the immigration office, but why was she giving him such a long face?
Gao Qi's identity was an ordinary resident of City No.1. He was not very rich, but he still had some money to spare. This was a fake identity that Yang Xu spent two minutes to arrange for him. It would not be particularly eye-catching, and it would also allow Gao Qi to have enough money to wander around the world.
The woman said something to Gao Qi in a very unfriendly tone, but Gao Qi was a person with good manners, so he still said with a straight face, "Sorry, I don't understand."
The woman immediately exploded. She immediately raised her voice and shouted a few words.
Gao Qi looked at Anna. Anna said angrily, "She said that if you don't know English, don't come to the beautiful country."
Gao Qi immediately got angry. He immediately raised his voice and said, "Then get me someone who can speak Chinese. Who do you think you are to give me such a look? Do you think I want to come to this broken place?"
In the past, Gao Qi would not have said such words because he was used to being reserved in a strange place. It was the kind of mentality that one would naturally have when one was in someone else's territory.
However, Gao Qi was different now. His mentality was different.
Although he had only inherited part of his memory, he was still a person who had become the emperor in a different world. It would be strange if he could tolerate this.
The volume of one's voice was related to one's strength. Did Gao Qi have any hard power now? In fact, he didn't. However, his soft power was indeed very strong. For example, he really knew a lot of big shots. Besides, he was indeed a big shot. No matter what, he couldn't be bullied in this place.
Gao Qi snatched his ID card from the auntie's hand, then slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Is there anyone in charge here? Is there anyone who can understand human language? Bring me here!"
Gao Qi really disdained to do something as vulgar as slapping faces, but he realized that sometimes people were just asking for it. They didn't know how much they were worth, but they just had to put their faces up for others to slap. What could he do?
To disgust himself or to slap him, Gao Qi naturally chose the latter.
A polite young man in a suit with a work pass quickly walked over. He looked at Gao Qi and said politely, "Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"
Gao Qi looked up and said, "You can't enter if you don't speak English, right? Speaking Mandarin is not welcome, right? What era is this? "
"Absolutely not. We very warmly welcome every guest who comes to the City of Angels, especially the guests from City One. I think there must be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? If there's a misunderstanding, why am I still standing here? "
The young supervisor looked at the older auntie. The auntie had already stood up. She looked a little flustered and started to explain, but Anna suddenly said, "She just said that if you don't speak English, you can't enter the Beautiful Country. These are her words. You have to check the surveillance footage and explain what this sentence means. Otherwise, I will definitely complain to the end!"
The supervisor was anxious when he heard this. He immediately said to the auntie, "Are you trying to get me killed? Damn it! You're fired. Also, you will be prosecuted for violating the City Priority Act. You asked for it! "
The auntie started to complain, but the young supervisor didn't hesitate to shout, "Guards, guards, take her away."
A farce ensued. As two burly guards forcibly took the auntie away, the farce quickly came to an end.
Then the supervisor sat in the auntie's seat and said to Gao Qi with a fawning smile, "Sir, I'm very sorry. This is our mistake. It's hard to avoid a stubborn old woman with outdated ideas. Now she's fired and will be prosecuted. What awaits her is banishment from the city. Are you satisfied with this? If you're satisfied, can I help you with the immigration procedures? "
Gao Qi didn't want to enter the City of Angels because he didn't have a good impression of this city. However, so far, the outcome of this farce was still satisfactory. So after hesitating for a while, he finally pushed the documents over again.
"Thank you for your understanding, sir."
The clearance was extremely fast. Gao Qi waited for Anna and Niu Lidong to pass the same quickly. After taking a few steps forward, he said to Anna, "Why did what you said just now work so well? Is it because you're afraid of complaints?"
Anna shrugged and said, "After the cataclysm, the new orthodoxy is correct. Some people miss the era of the country, so the city controller made a law to prohibit people from mentioning the country instead of the city's name. Especially here, the word country is taboo. So I'm going to complain to the City of Angels. This supervisor will also be unlucky. Do you understand?"
Gao Qi came to a realization and said, "I see. The people here are playing with fire. They don't even allow people to talk about it. Speaking of which, that old woman is really annoying. But she was expelled just like that. Hmm, their laws are quite harsh."
Anna smiled and said, "It's normal. The older people are still living in the dream of a superpower. They are staunch nationalists, so they are also the kind of people who are strictly guarded. That woman can't accept the fact that her country has disappeared and the city has declined. The older the people, the more they can't accept the fact that City One is the strongest. So they will naturally have a strong hostility towards you. If you say that you're from Zhaoxi City, then she will despise you from the bottom of her heart, but she might be a little friendlier."
In fact, there was no need for Anna to explain the latter part. Gao Qi understood. No one was willing to be beaten to death by the younger generation. The old aristocrats always had a disdainful and envious attitude towards the rise of the new aristocrats. It was the same for the country, the city, and even the commoners. It was all the same.
Gao Qi smiled and said, "Old people can't see the situation clearly. Their way of thinking and habits are still stuck in the old era. Young people are different. I think that supervisor just now is quite sensible."
Anna's face showed a proud expression. She said with a serious face, "Times are different! Their young people must learn to be humble. Maybe the people in Apple City have the right to be proud, but the City of Angels, hehe … "
Logically speaking, the City of Angels was a famous city, but Anna didn't seem to care much about it.
At this time, Niu Lidong finally couldn't help but interrupt. He asked carefully, "Can I have directional grenades here?"
Gao Qi and Anna were speechless. After a while, Gao Qi finally smiled bitterly and said, "Forget about your directional grenades. No city will let you walk around with directional grenades. You're a dangerous person. Can't you think of something else?"
