Chapter Ninety-Six: The Celebration
Zhang Cheng first checked the information of the first fugitive suspect, the amount of reward for this person's police wanted by the police is not less than 50,000 US dollars, and there are also 5,000 US dollars to help the police arrest people, but this person's crime is not bad in Zhang Cheng's opinion.
The police wanted him on charges of printing U.S. dollars without permission, and when his private printing plant was stolen and destroyed, the police analyzed that he also had millions of dollars in U.S. bills (most of which he printed himself). It is said that an American born and raised in this land is a sin to print dollar bills. If it is a sin for Americans to print dollar money, isn't the biggest sinner the Federal Reserve?
Zhang Cheng complained about this dollar money dealer in his heart, deleted the email and opened the second email. The wanted suspect on the second email is just to solve some of the needs of Americans, who used to run a brothel in New York, and everyone knows that it is illegal to open a brothel in New York.
So after the New York police shut down his underground brothel, the owner changed his identity and came to Nevada - anyway, if you came to Nevada earlier, you wouldn't have had a problem.
Another thing to say is that after the New York police took control of this underground brothel, they did not rush to close the door, but first used it for a period of fishing law enforcement - this kind of thing can be said to be familiar to the American police. After arresting 100 prostitutes, he waited until there were no prostitutes to come to the door before he reluctantly closed the door.
The reward offered by the police for him was only $8,500, which was not very high. This Zhang Cheng was not very interested, so he deleted the email casually.
When I opened the third email, I couldn't catch it, and the owner was very dissatisfied with the IRS and Wall Street. Thinking that the tax office and Wall Street only represent the interests of the rich, they are killing the poor and helping the rich. The burden of taxation in the United States falls on the middle class who earn $50,000 to $200,000 a year.
If others are not used to it, they will complain twice, scolding the black-hearted tax bureau and scolding the black-hearted Wall Street, which is normal. This guy is not used to doing it directly, and has carried out several explosions on Wall Street and the New York Tax Office, although there were no casualties, but the impact on the US government is bad, and he directly offered a reward of 30,000 US dollars for arrest.
This man still has supporters among the American public against Wall Street and the tax office, and some people even put him and Seliel in the Boston tea party. Adams is on a par – Americans themselves started out as a tax resistant. But after the establishment of an independent government. In order to maintain government expenditures, they had to collect heavy taxes from the people, and in the blink of an eye, the taxes collected by the British colonists back then were really nothing.
After the three emails were deleted, Zhang Cheng did not lose heart, and if he needed it, he could hear almost the secrets of the entire Christian world. Not bad for these few.
Again. Together with the entire commercial bail bond company, this was originally run as a side hustle of entertainment. You should not affect your normal life because you have to eradicate evil forces frequently.
Ye Zi there, arresting three or five fugitives a year is absolutely reasonable on the archives of going to college, if you catch three or five hundred fugitives a year, wouldn't it be a superwoman who studies normally during the day and goes to enforce justice at night.
Time passes. Finally looked forward to Zhang Cheng's long-awaited summer vacation, the summer vacation party was not ready, Nancy called, her 12-year-old sister Ciri had her first menarche, and the family wanted to hold a celebration party for Ciri, Nancy hoped that Zhang Cheng could come, and the last sentence was naturally to remember to bring cigarettes.
Ye Zi personally received an invitation call from Ciri.
When an American girl comes to menarche for the first time, the family will invite her relatives and friends to have a private celebration, which they believe is the first sign of a girl's adulthood, and the celebration, gifts, and greetings will also help the girl eliminate the fear and worry of the first menarche.
As an immigrant society in the United States, there is no real coming-of-age ceremony, and it is generally believed that after graduating from high school and enjoying 12 years of compulsory education, you are considered an adult.
If you don't skip a grade or repeat a grade after graduating from high school, you'll be about 18 years old. Although 18-year-old Americans are not allowed to enter casinos, and some states do not sell alcohol and tobacco to young people under the age of 21, they can get married, buy guns, join the military, and officially enter the workforce.
In many senses, eighteen is already an adult. So the high school graduation celebration for American children is the grandest. All the virgins in the United States are going crazy at the high school graduation party and looking for women to get rid of this shameful sign.
After Zhang Cheng and Ye Zi met, he asked, "The first time you came to that back then, you didn't have a celebration, right?" ”
"No, no." Ye Zi hurriedly shook his head, how could such a shameful thing still be celebrated, in fact, Ye Zi was scared and cried by the sudden bleeding that day, fortunately, his mother was at home that day, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Let's go, buy some gifts on the way."
The United States is also a big gift-giver, and it is normal for gifts to be exchanged. For example, it is always okay to accept an invitation to eat at someone's house and bring your own drinks or snacks. Not to mention birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, holiday gifts, etc., which have always been popular among the people.
Although American businessmen are not good at discussing business at the dinner table, it is very common to play at the golf club while discussing business. It is sometimes the occasion to bribe parliamentarians with large sums of bearer bonds, and to propose or pass bills in parliament that are beneficial to their own business – bearer bonds are not cash, but are considered gifts.
Unless there is a particularly close relationship, there is no need to buy a particularly expensive gift, so that maybe the recipient will be very happy, but the other gift-givers will not be happy.
"That's good. No, Ciri is 12 years old. Ye Zi looked at a toy for a while, and then looked at it to show that it was suitable for children about seven years old.
"How's the doll?" Zhang Cheng asked.
"Ciri doesn't like dolls that can't move. She has a hamster and a rabbit. ”
"It's a nuisance for girls who don't like dolls."
The two of them looked at the gift section of the supermarket for a while, but they didn't find anything they liked. Zhang Cheng thought of Jenny, Jenny's words, he should know what kind of gift the girl likes the most.
Now Jenny is enjoying the holidays, and August is the day the league starts. But before that, the team had a month to train ahead of the tournament and do a couple of warm-up games and promotions.
Zhang Cheng made a special call to ask for the gift.
Jenny who answered the phone: "Friends." If you can't think of a gift, then cash it out and stuff the money you want to buy a gift into an envelope for the other person. She can buy whatever she wants, just buy it herself. ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Cheng thought to himself: Didn't you say that Americans don't know what a red envelope is, no, the envelope is white, it should be called a white envelope.
Later, Zhang Cheng bought a stack of envelopes from the office supplies section and took them away, and the United States in the 21st century still uses letters and stamps. For example, every year, tax returns are sent to the tax bureau by yourself or by an accountant after the New Year and before April 15.
Although you can file your taxes after New Year's Day, most Americans have a similar idea of filing their taxes as the United States owes its dues to the United Nations. I can't remember the days before the deadline.
Back in the car, Zhang Cheng gave Ye Zi an envelope: "How much are you going to stuff?" ”
Ye Zi took out five green tickets and stuffed them: "One hundred dollars." Just make sense. ”
Zhang Cheng: "Then I'll stuff eighty." ”
Ye Zi: "If you want a red envelope, should you write something on the envelope?" ”
"Writing a hundred years of good marriage, it is definitely not possible to tie the knot." Zhang Cheng thought and said: "Every year has today, every year has today? That's not right. It's the moon and the moon, and it's almost the same today. ”
Ye Zi: "This is good, I will write congratulations to Xi Rui Yueyue for having this day." Cousin, you think of another one yourself, write it yourself. Well? What about writing Chinese? Or in English? ”
Zhang Cheng took out a signature pen and gave it to Ye: "Write Chinese." Foreigners love to read square words, even if they can't read them. ”
When the leaves were finished, Zhang Cheng wrote on his envelope: "Congratulations to Xi Rui for growing up." ”
When she arrived at Nancy's house, Ciri was very happy to receive the discounted gift, hugged Ye Zi and Zhang Cheng in front of relatives and friends, and then asked Ye Zi to translate what the square words on the envelope meant.
Zhang Cheng ate a snack and was hooked into the bathroom by Nancy. The ratio of bedrooms to bathrooms in a house in American families is almost one-to-one, so two people occupying a bathroom and smoking are not considered nuisances.
When she entered the bathroom, Nancy's first thing she said was to ask, "Did you bring a cigarette?" ”
"Definitely brought it." Zhang Cheng took out two cigarettes, and the two of them began to smoke in the bathroom. (To be continued......)
