Shen Yiyi's words were half joking, but the woman seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh, it's all my fault, I haven't remembered to introduce it to Miss Shen." My husband is Dutch, but he has been studying, living and working in Hong Kong. He is already planning to apply to the future SAR government for Chinese nationality. Because we had contacted Xinhua News Agency before, Xinhua News Agency specially gave our family an invitation to participate in the return ceremony. ”

The woman's words made Shen Yiyi seem to remember something. Indeed, in her previous life, she did remember that after Hong Kong's return to China, a large number of foreigners from Western European countries became naturalized as Chinese. Because China does not recognize dual nationality, they are equivalent to giving up their original nationality and officially becoming Chinese citizens.

Speaking of which, becoming a Chinese citizen is not an easy thing to do in Chinese mainland. It is difficult for foreigners to become Chinese citizens. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a group of young people from the United States, Britain and other developed capitalist countries took the initiative to ask to become Chinese nationals. These young people are ideologically left-leaning, attracted by the shape of the Chinese revolution, moved by the cause of socialism, and in turn pursue Chinese citizenship. At that time, when they wanted to become Chinese citizens, they often considered it organizationally, and out of some kind of political need, they approved it.

However, after the work of the Chinese government has been officially put into the procedural track, it is not so easy for foreigners to become Chinese nationals. Unlike most Western countries, China has never considered itself a nation of immigrants. Therefore, the Chinese government does not have any Immigration Law that regulates the naturalization of foreigners. Although China promulgated the "Nationality Law" as early as the early eighties, because of the environment at that time, only Chinese gave up Chinese nationality, and no foreigners would join Chinese nationality at all. So over time, this law was basically shelved. Even the local public security organs, as the authorities that accept applications for naturalization as stipulated in the "Nationality Law", have not formulated any regulations or guidelines that stipulate the naturalization procedures. So much so that when the grassroots public security organs received the naturalization application, they did not know how to deal with this problem. Those who are afraid of trouble will not do it, forming a de facto refusal to naturalize. If you are really responsible, make a report and ask for instructions. Since the law stipulates that the right to finally approve naturalization is reserved only to the Ministry of Public Security, it is unlikely that a considerable number of reports will be sent to the Ministry of Public Security. It also became a procedural refusal of naturalization.

It was not until China's economic development reached a certain stage, and the public security bureaus of some municipalities directly under the central government began to formally try to liaise with the Ministry of Public Security in Beijing in accordance with the law, and finally opened up the road to naturalization for foreigners.

Of course, in the era when Shen Yiyi came from, although there were naturalized foreigners, they were still a minority. In general, the number of foreigners naturalized in China is simply disproportionate compared with the number of Chinese who emigrate. When it comes to immigration, we are "outperforming". So. In Shen Yiyi's opinion, our naturalization procedures still seem very simple. Generally, the applicant's understanding of the basic national conditions and the scoring system that must be examined when naturalizing a country, as well as the ceremony of taking the oath of allegiance at the time of final naturalization, are simply missing in China. All approvals only depend on the personal judgment and preferences of the final approver, and such a working model is still a little far from science and fairness.

However, Shen Yiyi can probably already judge that this woman's husband should be a more famous ghost legislator in the future. The Dutchman who gave himself the name Sima Wen. However, Shen Yiyi remembered that he should only have two sons. Why did you become a daughter at this time? Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by one's own crossing?

Speaking of which, this ghost will bring some problems to the SAR government in the future. Because of his different upbringing, some of his concepts are naturally different from those of ordinary Chinese. However, Shen Yiyi believes that the other party would rather give up the foreign passport that many Chinese want to get and apply for Chinese nationality. His love for the land of Hong Kong is unquestionable. As long as one does not lose one's way in the general interests of the country and has a little difference of opinion on one's personal political views, it is nothing at all.

Thinking of this, Shen Yiyi will not be as familiar as others. So, soon. She made friends with Mrs. Szeto and Miss Szeto. Miss Situ was even inviting her to her house to play when she was free.

Generally speaking, the President's wife's meeting with the relatives of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong is just a prelude to the grand ceremony of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. Although the British side has provided convenience, there are still some restrictions on the duration. It's going to be over in about an hour and a half.

Although Shen Yiyi was brought in by the chairman's wife to accompany him, in fact, because there were quite few people with children, it could be said that he was relatively free. Because he knew that he was invited by the chairman's wife, and the bigger Cheng Dùshang was also the chairman, and he showed favor to the older generation of revolutionaries, so Shen Yiyi was grateful, but he didn't feel that he seemed to have failed others and didn't do much. Even, when the meeting was finally announced and everyone was invited, she was happy to have dinner with everyone.

Ms. Wang called her to her side and asked very kindly: "Yiyi, how is it, are you not tired after today?" ”

Shen Yiyi stuck out his tongue one by one and said mischievously, "Where can I be." I've only received a few people in total, so how can I compare to you? I think you're the most tired one. ”

Ms. Wang actually knew that Shen Yiyi didn't receive a few people at all. It's just that she is afraid of Shen Yiyi's youthful temperament, and she has no patience for this kind of thing to be sent to her, and she is dissatisfied in her heart. Originally, it was the chairman's gesture of showing goodwill to Old Man Shen, but if the little girl of the Shen family had other ideas, it would cause trouble. Now that she knows that the little girl is quite acquainted, Ms. Wang smiled with satisfaction, and she liked this sensible little girl even more. This girl may indeed be more obedient and caring. Mrs. Wang, who has only two sons, thought.

But Mrs. Wang's assistant, the young female reporter from the Hong Kong branch of Xinhua News Agency, laughed at Shen Yiyi after the meeting: "Yiyi, you seem to have been favored by a wealthy family, and I want you to marry into a wealthy family!" ”

Shen Yiyi asked with some surprise: "What giant?" Who wants me to get married? ”

The female reporter smiled and said, "Those are the two women." Before you forgot it, you didn't know what to think about, didn't there be two people wandering around in front of you for a long time? Isn't that the second room of the Huo family? ”

Shen Yiyi heard it one by one, and his mouth pouted: "You mean them?" I didn't know them at all. I don't know what they're doing staring at me. ”

"Staring at you, I naturally want you to marry her son." The female journalist said. The marriage of politics and business has not been uncommon since ancient times, but this time the wife of the Huo family had a bigger dream and set her sights on Shen Yiyi. Logically, it is also right, if you can marry the granddaughter of such a party-state bigwig, then it will definitely be very helpful to the development of your career on the mainland.

Shen Yiyi said disdainfully: "They think it's beautiful." Looking at these Hong Kong rich families, which one of them does not marry his aunt's wife? I don't want to go to this smoky place. Besides, those sons and brothers are constantly in the news, who would be stupid enough to marry them and cause trouble for themselves. ”

Before the 80s in Hong Kong, the "Great Qing Law" was still enforced, and a man could have three wives and four concubines. Therefore, all celebrities with some money have several wives, which makes the relationship between the family very complicated. Shen Yiyi thought to himself when he learned about it in his previous life, this woman who wants to marry into such a wealthy family really wants to be open, anyway, she will never enter this kind of fire pit. Now that he has crossed back, his family's family background is better, and he will not look down on this kind of problem home.

Mrs. Wang was also listening to Shen Yiyi and Xiao Xu's jokes at first, but she still smiled and stopped Shen Yiyi from talking nonsense: "Okay, Yiyi, don't talk nonsense." Mr. Huo is a patriotic Hong Kong businessman, and we only judge his righteousness, not his private morality. You have to be careful that what you say is heard, but you will be in trouble. ”

Shen Yiyi still didn't speak, so he stuck out his tongue and pretended to be cute.

Xiao Xu asked another question at this time: "Yiyi, which family's daughter was that later, who looked down on mainlanders so much, and you still talked so happily with her?" ”

Shen Yiyi asked strangely, "Aren't you supposed to know everything about the people who came today?" Didn't you introduce the identity of the guest to Madame? ”

Xiao Xu was a little embarrassed and said, "I should know, that's right." But I thought about it for a long time, and I couldn't remember where they came from. I don't think I sent them the invitation. ”

Shen Yi nodded: "That's right." Their invitation was sent at the last minute by the Hong Kong bureau of Xinhua News Agency. I've checked that with them. ”

"Really? But if it's from the company, why don't I know? ”

"They said they got an invitation when they went to the club yesterday. You can ask your president about it. Maybe he sent it himself, or not. ”

"That's possible." Xiao Xu thought about it and said.

If it were an ordinary person, Shen Yiyi might have to wonder if the invitation could be fake in this case. But because he was already convinced that it was from the ghost councilor's house, Shen Yiyi didn't think it was necessary to think like this.

Anyway, now that the banquet has been opened, according to Shen Yiyi's thoughts, it is true to hurry up and have a meal. When you arrive in Hong Kong, you should eat seafood, but seafood is not cheap. Now it's a national treat anyway, so it's really not to eat for nothing. That's what a foodie is saying.
