Chapter Seventy-Seven: Quiet Outside and Crazy Inside

Although Link only owns 4% of MGM, he is a shareholder, and he has successfully entered the MGM Grand Board of Directors two weeks ago.

As a member of the board of directors, he can ask for a private room at any time. So he invited Diane to finish his meal, and of course he preferred the MGM Hotel.

Entering the private room of the hotel, Diane said "woo~", but there was no surprise in her tone, and said, "This is the first time I have entered the MGM luxury private room." I heard that such private rooms are very popular, and when men want to give a woman romance, they will book a private room like this and have a candlelight dinner. ”

"Yes, just like today. And you can come whenever you want. Link pulled out a chair for her to sit down, and then sat down on the other side of the long table.

Without his signal, the waiter in the private room came up and asked, "Mr. Hans, can I order?"

Link nodded, then smiled and said to Diane, "Instructor, is there anything you would like to eat?"

Diane ordered salmon with chanterelle mushrooms, then another dessert and was done. Link ordered a lobster sashimi, a fried rice, and borscht, and ordered a black pepper steak specifically for himself.

Finally he smiled and said to Diane, "I still feel my blood boiling, maybe I should drink some wine to press it down." What do you like to drink?"

Diane looked at him with a smirk and said, "If you're going to make the blood boil out, I'm fine!" she asked after a moment's thought. "Is there a Blue Ice King? Maybe I can drink a little too. ”

The waiter looked at Link, saw him nodding, and immediately said, "Yes." ”

Blue Ice King is an ice wine produced in Germany, which is a very low alcohol content.

Link blinked and said, "The Blue Ice King is indeed very good. But maybe we could drink something else. ”

"I feel like only ice wine can suppress your boiling veins. Diane said with a giggle.

Link had no choice but to wave the waiter down.

The waiter left the private room very familiarly, and he would not come in again until the food was served.

It was the first time Link had seen Diane smile so wantonly and so freely. He took the opportunity to say: "I noticed that you seem to be very obsessed with aerobatics. But your flight is also very fascinating, just like you. ”

Diane's compliment to him returned a "wink" and said, "Yes, I do have a fascination with aerobatics. She recalled, laughing. "My mom always said I inherited my great-grandfather's genes and that's why I'm so obsessed with flying. ”

Seeing that she seemed willing to talk more deeply about the subject, Link asked, "Then why don't you join the Air Force or become an airline commander?" ”

"I have a bit of astigmatism, and while wearing contact lenses makes my vision look like normal, it doesn't allow me to fly.

Link exclaimed, "Oh my God. Do you mean that my previous 10-hour night flight was actually done under the guidance of a crazy instructor?"

Astigmatism is not the same as myopia. Astigmatism is less sensitive to light. If the astigmatism is not high, it is fine, and it is probably possible to live a normal life by squinting and constricting the pupils during the day. But at night, the lights can give a harsh feeling.

"Hey, cadet. I can fly like a normal person just by wearing contact lenses. ”

"Yes, I know. So I survived. Link said with a laugh.

He still believed her words, although it was indeed risky to fly with contact lenses, but now they were all fine, wouldn't they?

However, he still persuaded him: "I think it would be better for you to quit your job at the flying club." Once the fact that you wear glasses is discovered by someone else, you're in trouble. ”

"So I quit my job. I'm going to quit today. I just heard that you were going to receive the plane, so I went to the airport to have a look. She laughs. "It's just that a trip to the sky today was unplanned. ”

Link is also a little scared now. Today he was a little too bold. You know, if one is not careful, two planes may want to collide. However, he also felt that his luck was good enough, even if the plane crashed, he might not die, so he was a lot more courageous. It's just that, now that I think about it, in the event of an accident, he may be able to live, but Diane may die.

"I would still advise you to abandon the idea of aerobatics. That's too dangerous!"

"Aren't you having a great time today?"

Link shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's like a K-drug." But after the effect of the drug has passed, you will know that it is not good. ”

But after that, I couldn't help but continue K. Isn't it?" Diane agreed. It was as if she was caught up in a memory. "When I was five years old, I heard my grandmother tell me the story of my great-grandfather. His name was Erich Alfred Hartmann, and he was Germany's super-ace pilot during World War II. He holds the record for the largest number of enemy aircraft shot down in the world, with more than 1,400 sorties and 352 warplanes. And his wingman was never shot down. ”

Link thought for a moment, having no impression of the person she was talking about.

Diane knows that Americans are dismissive of many people and things in other countries. The media in the United States would rather report on the police helping a neighborhood's rescue of a cat trapped in a tree than on a major event in another country. So she didn't pay much attention to Link's dazedness.

She suddenly smiled and said, "Grandmother told me." His first flight as a child was in a glider from the roof to the prepared loose soil. So I thought I could do the same. So I made a glider out of cardboard boxes and wood chips and planned to fly from the roof to the pond thirty yards away. ”

Link smiled and said, "I think you must have succeeded." ”

Diane gave him a rare soothing look and said with a smile, "Yes." I managed to hide from my parents and carry out my plan. As a result, I fell off the roof and broke a leg. That's stupid, isn't it?"

Link almost laughed out loud and asked, "No, that's funny." And then, your parents forbade you to touch anything and everything, and you fought hard and ended up in the flying industry?"

"Almost. Diane also seemed to be amused by the stupidity she had done as a child. "I've always been obedient on the surface. But I actually learned my lesson and decided that I would never jump off the roof again until I got a real flying machine. Later, in middle school, I joined a flying club, and when I was older, I went to the flying club near my home to watch others fly. By the time I was eighteen years old, I had passed a flight test and received my pilot's license. ”

"I originally wanted to apply for an aviation school, but I couldn't pass the physical examination, so I had to apply for an aviation-related major. ”

While they were talking, there was a knock on the door of the private room twice, and the waiter pushed the door in and asked, "Mr. Hans, can you serve food?"

Link nodded and asked them to bring the dishes in.

The waiter asked the person who delivered the food to go out, wrapped it in a cloth soaked in ice water in one hand, and then picked up the wine bottle and opened the bottle of Blue Ice King, he poured two glasses, the action was very standard, the upper edge of the wine was exactly five centimeters away from the mouth of the glass. He reinserted the bottle into the ice water and gave two glasses to the two. Then he asked Link, "Mr. Hans?"

Link waved his hand and said, "Thank you, but I don't need your service here for the time being." He had planned to have a violinist stationed at the hotel play a piece to add a bit of romance. But when he saw that Diane seemed to be talking sexually, he changed his mind for a moment.

The waiter bowed slightly and said, "I wish you two a happy meal." With that, he turned around and left the private room.

Dinah pinched the glass with three fingers and lifted it, but she couldn't help but laugh when she saw Link holding it in his hand like drinking red wine.

Link was laughed at for some reason. But he was also smart enough to see her gesture with a wine glass, and he knew he was making a fool of himself. And now the wine glass in his hand is the kind of small goblet like drinking cocktails, the lower end of the glass is relatively pointed, and the palm of his hand against the glass is indeed a little uncomfortable.

He shook his head self-deprecatingly, held the glass up like Diane and touched it with her, and said, "You know, it's the first time I've drunk ice wine." Or rather, I never knew there was such a wine before. ”

Diane laughed and said, "I also know this because my mother is German." She touched the cup forward and touched him again, and said. "For today we worked together perfectly. She took a sip as she spoke

"For the thrill you gave me today. Link also smiled and drank a little, feeling sweet and sour, and it seemed to be sweet and sour, the two tastes could not distinguish between the main and secondary, and the feeling of drinking it in the mouth was very amazing.

Seeing that Link seemed to have tasted it, Diane smiled and asked, "How does it feel?" Maybe you prefer XO or whiskey or something like that. ”

Link shook his head and said, "Actually, I rarely drink. ”

Diane raised an eyebrow and said, "That's not like being a billionaire." I've heard that billionaires treasure at least one cellar of wine. ”

"At least I'm not. But I'm thinking about making a hundred cellar wines. ”

"I've heard that. I've heard that your farm grows large tracts of grapes. Maybe I can buy wine from you later. Of course, you'll have to give me a discount. Otherwise, I can't afford to drink. ”

"If you want, I'm willing to serve you free wine forever. Link said with a smile.

"Maybe we should taste this bottle of Blue Ice King first. This was only made from grapes from 20 years ago. Diane said with a smile on her eyebrows.

Link knew that his hint had failed again. But being able to eat with Diane is already a great step forward. Maybe in a little while, she will be willing to think about herself. And he said no more of those ambiguous words.

The two of them ate very slowly, and the bottle of wine was quickly drunk. The Blue Ice King was only 8% alcohol, and Link felt like he was drinking rock sugar water.

Diane's face flushed, she drank the last bit of her glass, looked at the empty bottle, and then at Link, she blinked, and said, "Maybe we can drink a little more." How about some more wine?"

Link rattles the bell to call the waiter in, and then orders another bottle of dry red, only to have the two of them almost finish the bottle as well.

When the wine was finished, they were satisfied.

After Link signed the order, he felt a little dizzy. He asked Diane, "Are you feeling good?"

"Good. You see I can walk in a straight line. Diane took a few crooked steps. "Look, I'm fine. But I want you to take me home. Otherwise I would have been taken to the police station and charged with drunk driving. ”

Link invited her to dinner and didn't bring bodyguards, and he drank too much himself. Of course, I don't dare to drive. He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I open a room for you?" Of course, or we ask the hotel to take you home and I'll be with you. ”
