Chapter 206 No Hope
Secretary Wang’s smile froze on his face and the air stagnated for a moment.
The duckling looked at him.
He looked at the duckling.
The servant couldn't help but shrink his neck in this empty and cold room.
At this moment, the servant heard Secretary Wang's voice, and he replied softly, "Okay, let's try."
The servant was stunned.
The duck took out his cell phone and said, "Wait a minute, I'll call."
Half an hour later.
Xiaoya and Secretary Wang sat on the sofa, waiting for the monks, Taoist priests and nuns to arrive.
They walked in one after another, looked at each other's attire, and looked at each other in surprise, thinking that they had never expected that Chinese bosses nowadays like to combine Chinese and Western styles so much!
"They are the ones?"
"Yeah." The duck nodded.
"Let's get started." Secretary Wang nodded his chin.
But the Taoists, monks and nuns on the opposite side were a little stunned.
The Taoist priest asked first: "What do you want to start with? You haven't told me what you want yet."
Secretary Wang turned around and stared at the duck with a smile: "You want to exorcise the evil spirit for me, right?"
"Hmm." The duckling responded without blushing at all.
Secretary Wang turned his head back and said, "Then let's exorcise the evil spirits. Come on."
The Taoist sighed and said, "You should have said it earlier. Then this can't be done."
Secretary Wang was stunned: "Can't do it?"
"Yes, that's called gathering a crowd to engage in feudal superstitious activities, which is illegal." The Taoist priest said firmly.
Secretary Wang:?
Duckling:?
A bit of confusion flashed across the duck's eyes: "Then why are you still staying at my grandfather's house if you can't exorcise evil spirits?"
The monk put his hands together and said, "Recite the sutra."
The nun also made the sign of the cross in response.
"Can't chanting scriptures drive away evil spirits?" The duckling was confused, thinking, isn't that what is written in the book?
"Of course not! If I say I can, it's called false propaganda and spreading superstition, which is also illegal." The Taoist said with a twitching face.
The monk continued, "Yes, the purpose of chanting is to calm Mr. Wei's mind, to help him forget the worries of the world as soon as possible and attain bliss in the next life. It is not to drive away the evil spirits of this life."
The duck thought something was wrong: "How can people reach paradise in the afterlife? Isn't that also false propaganda?"
The monk waved his hand and said, "Well, who knows if there is bliss? Just like no one knows if there are aliens in this world. So this is not false propaganda."
"Sounds like a liar." The duck frowned.
"How can a little girl say that? How can that be called a lie?"
"How much money did my grandfather give you?"
"That's not giving money, it's a donation of merit. About 800,000 is donated to us every month."
The duck's expression fell: "Grandpa is such a spendthrift."
The Taoist priest disagreed with this and said, "Maybe the foreign ones are more expensive."
The duck turned his head to look at the nuns and the archbishop beside them, and asked about their "monthly salary" in English.
The archbishop did not hide it. After all, in his opinion, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket for the Gui family.
"One hundred thousand," replied the archbishop.
Xiaoya thought about it, turned around and asked Secretary Wang: "But he should have taken US dollars, right?"
Secretary Wang nodded.
"I'm going to call my uncle and fire them." The duck frowned.
She didn't expect it to be so expensive!
Secretary Wang said with a smile: "Now, I have a solution..."
"Hmm?" The duckling looked at him.
"Call your uncle first and ask him what kind of visa your grandfather got for them when they entered the country."
The duckling nodded and did as he was told.
Wei Wenqing was very surprised when he received the call. He didn't know why, but he still asked someone to check.
A few minutes later, Xiaoya turned around and looked at Secretary Wang again: "It's a business visa."
Secretary Wang smiled and said, "Then you can return all the money you paid to them before you fire them."
"Why?" This is the duckling's blind spot.
"The visas for entering other countries are divided into tourist visas, business visas and work visas. Business visas are valid for a long time, but they have certain restrictions. If you want to be employed and receive a salary from the employer, you must apply for a work visa. Otherwise, it is illegal... After they come to China, they take money from your grandfather, which is an illegal act."
The duck's eyes lit up: "So there is such a thing!"
Secretary Wang nodded slightly and smiled softly: "Their gods didn't bless them. They didn't even send them a lawyer."
The archbishop did not understand Chinese. His eyes moved from Xiaoya to Secretary Wang, and then back to Secretary Wang. He had no idea what was going on.
Only the Taoists and monks were dumbfounded and thought, "Shit, it's a good thing we are Chinese!"
They looked at Secretary Wang carefully, thinking, "What a mean person! What a mean person! No wonder he needs to be "exorcised"!"
At this time, the duckling turned its head back and did not rush to negotiate with the archbishop.
Secretary Wang said it is illegal, but to what extent is it illegal?
She picked up her phone and started searching for keywords.
"…If the circumstances are serious, the offender may be detained for a period of not less than 5 days but not more than 15 days, and may be fined not less than 5,000 yuan but not more than 20,000 yuan, and his illegal gains may be confiscated…"
The duckling raised his head and naturally translated this passage to the archbishop.
The Archbishop's face quickly turned green.
But there is more…
"You are still carrying out illegal missionary activities. You have not registered with the religious affairs department. This is strictly prohibited in China. This is also against the law..."
When Secretary Wang heard this, the smile on his face became even wider.
This is not what he said. Um, did the kid just search it on his phone?
It's quite instructive.
The Archbishop's face turned completely green, and he said excitedly: "Your heart is not sincere! Your grandfather's heart is not sincere either! You Chinese people have no faith!"
The duck wondered, "If you can't fulfill people's wishes, why do you blame people for not being sincere? Aren't you incompetent?"
The archbishop became even angrier and said stiffly, "The money will be returned to you!"
The duck was satisfied: "Then bye."
The archbishop was so angry that he walked out with the nuns.
The duckling slowly turned his head and looked at the monks and Taoists again.
They thought to themselves, no way, no way, this little girl wants their money back too?
They thought carefully about whether they had committed any illegal acts during this process...
"What do you use the merit money you receive for?"
"Ah?" The Taoist was stunned.
The monk replied, "Repair the temple."
"Grandpa's giving money is his merit, but what about your merit?"
"This..." What does this little girl mean?
"Go ahead, and remember to share your merits with others. You don't even have the ability to exorcise evil spirits, so just accumulate some merits for yourself first." The duck said seriously.
The monks and Taoists opened their mouths, but choked again.
If someone else said this, it would sound like sarcasm.
But the child's eyes were clear and his tone was serious, which made it impossible for them to refute.
Secretary Wang in the back was overjoyed: "How interesting!"
The monks and Taoists glanced at Secretary Wang. They were really afraid that this strange man would give the children some more ideas and take the money back from their pockets.
So I left quickly.
Silence returned to the room.
Xiaoya looked at Secretary Wang again and sighed.
Secretary Wang pointed at himself and smiled: "So I'm hopeless now, right?"
"There is still some hope."
"Um?"
"Listen to me from now on."
Secretary Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."
