Chapter 17: Future Scholars (3)
The White Rose Restaurant is one of the most upscale restaurants in the capital star, with a luxurious environment and exquisite dishes, using ingredients from various planets in the Vess system, and using expensive space transmission technology to ensure the absolute freshness and deliciousness of each ingredient.
All guests who have been here will find it a pleasant pleasure to dine at the White Rose Restaurant.
The price of the White Rose is as high as 5,000 VIS per person, which discourages most ordinary people, and the customers who can come to spend are either rich or expensive.
Like most restaurants, White Rose is divided into two sections: an open area and a VIP area. The open area has an elegant setting and cosy soft lighting, each table is far away, and the middle is cleverly separated by some beautiful plants and decorative decorations, and a small band in the corner of the hall plays live music throughout the night, with occasional singers singing. The VIP area is a number of lavish private dining areas, mainly located on the beautiful terrace and in several opulent rooms upstairs with excellent privacy.
Zhou Yin and Keith work in the small band here, Keith is the drummer of the band, and Zhou Yin is responsible for singing from 7 to 9 o'clock.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Yin and the band, who had been singing several songs in a row, paused, but did not leave the hall, only sat on the stage and rested.
Keith was called away by a waiter, and after a while he trotted back to the stage, sat down in the drummer's seat, and whispered to Zhou Yin and the rest of the band, "The manager said that an important guest has arrived, and he wants to listen to the series, so let's sing this next." β
Zhou Yin disagreed, "Didn't you say that you don't accept songs?" β
Keith scratched his head and whispered, "The manager said that this guest is very important, so make an exception." β
Zhou Yin still didn't agree, "No! β
Another member of the band advised, "Noah, think about the extra bonus that the manager gave everyone last week, don't be too stubborn. β
Keith also advised, "Forget it, Noah, it's rare once, you always have to look at the customer's face to do service, it's too high!" And it's not that hard to do. β
Zhou Yin was helpless, "Keith, I'm not Qinggao, I can't!" β
The few people opened their mouths wide in surprise together, "You sing so well, how could it not!" The series has been popular for many years, and you have heard it. β
Zhou Yin really can't, he can only sing the ten songs that Wu Tianyu has practiced hard for the concert, and he sings very well!
So much so that since he came to the White Rose restaurant every night to sing, the sales of alcohol here in the evening have doubled. Many guests were nostalgic to listen to his songs, and they were reluctant to leave after eating, so they ordered another glass of wine and continued to sit until nine o'clock, when Noah's singing ended.
It's just that after Zhou Yin became Noah Μ Qin, he no longer has the previous musical sensitivity, not only that, but he is still a guy who can't hear accurately and doesn't have any musical cells! The songs that have been engraved in his mind can still be sung at a very high level, but it is almost impossible for him to learn a few more songs and sing them at the same high level.
Keith still didn't give up, "How could it not?" β
Zhou Yin spread his hands innocently, "I really won't, I will only sing these songs that I have rehearsed with you, and the rest will be out of tune when I sing, so when I came, I declared in advance that I would not accept the songs!" β
Those people fainted together, and thought that Noah had declared at the beginning that he would not accept the song because he was holding a shelf, but it turned out that he couldn't sing when someone ordered it!
When a euphemistic song sounded again, everyone in the starry sky VIP room upstairs frowned.
This is one of the most luxurious VIP rooms of the White Rose Restaurant, which is covered with soft carpets and surrounded by a glass curtain wall, the background of which is the real-time scene of the outer space of the capital city displayed by the latest mapping technology, sitting in this room, as if you are in the vast cosmic starry sky.
It's just that at this time, one side of the glass curtain wall is adjusted to be transparent, which somewhat breaks the integrity of the vast starry sky. From here, you can see the bands performing in the hall below.
After looking at the communicator in his hand, the restaurant manager carefully explained to a slender man in the middle who was leaning lazily on the seat, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry, that singer can't sing. β
The man known as Lord Louis had a handsome, deep face, and his long thick eyelashes hung down, making his gray eyes half-obscured and somewhat unfathomable. He hummed lightly, as if he was seriously appreciating the singing below, and did not reply further.
The restaurant manager also felt that it was too unreasonable to say that he couldn't sing this reason, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
It stands to reason that their White Rose Restaurant is the property of the Stone family, and the backstage is hard enough.
But the Lord Louis in front of him is a figure that no one can afford to offend, he is a great interstellar arms dealer, it is said that he was born in the ancient royal family of Kanlabaha, and there seems to be a title of that mysterious family, so everyone respectfully calls him Lord Louis outside.
No one knows how much wealth and power His Excellency Louis has, but everyone knows that he has traveled between the various galaxies of the Grand Alliance all year round, and the politicians of each galaxy have been polite to him and never take him lightly.
His Excellency Louis, whom no one dares to provoke, has two major characteristics: handsome and romantic, and not very good-tempered!
Therefore, the more silent he became, the more nervous the restaurant manager became, and his face turned white, and he said, "I asked that little singer to come up and apologize to you personally." β
His Excellency Louis still ignored him, until Zhou Yin finished singing the last sentence in a lingering voice, then stretched his long legs, raised his eyes and said to the manager, "It's very good, this song is sung by the little guy below very charmingly, but it's a little too sad, singing this at dinner time, I'm afraid it will affect your business." β
The restaurant manager had been wary of him suddenly getting angry, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence, so he replied casually, "It's okay, it's very emotional, many people are touched by it after listening to it, and they will want to have a drink, which has increased the sales of our Duran and Fire Tongue wine a lot." After speaking, he coughed lightly, and felt that he had spoken out of his mouth.
His Excellency Louis tugged at the corners of his lips, smiled very arrogantly, and stood up, "I still have something to do, let the little guy apologize to me in person next time." As he spoke, he turned his head and looked through the transparent glass wall to the stage in the hall below, glancing at the little singer who made him a little itchy.
Zhou Yin sat on a high stool, bowed his head slightly, the silhouette of his cheeks was very graceful, and a few strands of bright red short hair were put on his forehead, and the whole person was still immersed in the faint sadness of the song just now.
His every movement and expression on the stage can show his charm just right, almost impeccablely beautiful, especially when looking at people with those gray eyes that are as bright and transparent as the purest jewels, everyone who looks at him will have the illusion of falling in.
Lord Louis whistled softly and praised, "What a beautiful little kitten, what is his name?" Tell my assistant about his contact details. β
He was very tall, and he suddenly stood up and gave people a sense of oppression, and the restaurant manager smiled cautiously and stepped back a little, and at the same time had the urge to wipe his sweat, "His name is Noah, but he is a student at a comprehensive university, and he only came here to work, not to do anything else." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The manager of the White Rose Restaurant is Case's uncle, so Keys can bring his classmate Noah to work in the restaurant together, originally thought that he would definitely not be bullied if he had this relationship, but who knew that he would offend people because he couldn't sing the customer's songs.
Keith was a little indignant at this, "Uncle, this is the restaurant!" He came to eat, and it was forgivable to make a fuss if there was a problem with the dish, why didn't Noah know how to sing and had to apologize to him! Before he came to dinner, no one agreed that he would sing a song for him here! β
The restaurant manager felt that his nephew was too angry and a little ignorant of the world, so he didn't know how to teach for a while, so he simply skipped him and said directly to Zhou Yin, "Noah, Your Excellency Louis is not a character who can offend lightly, and he didn't deliberately embarrass anyone, but he just ordered an ordinary song during the meal, but you said you couldn't sing it...... Hey......" He wanted to sigh when he talked about the reason for Noah's refusal, not to mention His Excellency Louis, even he didn't believe that Noah would not sing such a very popular song, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to deliberately refute the face of the guest, "You should prepare well, Your Excellency Louis will come back next week, when the time comes, you go and apologize, say two good words, it is best to satisfy him, otherwise I really can't let you continue to work here!" β
"Uncle!" Keith called.
The restaurant manager turned to him and said very seriously, "Keys, don't scream, my uncle really can't do anything about it, if he really offends His Excellency Louis, let alone Noah, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue working here!" β
Keston was dumbfounded.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After coming out of the restaurant, Keith felt very guilty, "Noah, I'm sorry, it's not that my uncle won't take care of you, it's really that he can't help it this time." β
Zhou Yin was much calmer than Keith, and he had long since discovered that although it had developed cutting-edge technology far beyond the world he knew, it had not developed the highly egalitarian society that everyone in his time longed for with a high degree of civilization!
Because of absolute high technology, the common class can enjoy more benefits and security relatively speaking, but the position of the privileged class is still transcendent.
After the first few days of surprise, Zhou Yin faintly felt that he had some understanding, people's ambition and * in nature are also a huge driving force for human development, without attractive wealth and status, many capable people may be willing to accept the status quo and give up the struggle.
Patted Noah on the shoulder to reassure, "It doesn't matter, no one wants this kind of thing." It's a big deal, I'll quit next week, work in another place, I can't afford to provoke that Lord Louis, and I can always afford to hide, and save your uncle from embarrassing, and when the time comes, say that he has fired me, and this can always be explained. β
Although Keith was born in an ordinary family, he was loved by his parents since he was a child, and he had many relatives and friends at home, and he did not suffer much grievances.
Zhou Yin has experienced a lot, and he can already see these things, so he is not too depressed, and he is already thinking about where to find a part-time job.
Because he had to take care of the children, Zhou Yin did not live in the school dormitory, and broke up with Keith on the way, and he drove home the mini personal flying machine that Noah bought for himself in his first year of college.
In the past, it would have been almost impossible for a single 18-year-old boy to go to school and work on his own while taking care of two children at the same time.
But the high technology here makes the impossible possible.
Efficient, capable, stable and reliable home machines solve most of the problems.
The Chocolate One at home won't make any money except anything else (just program it.) οΌ
When Zhou Yin arrived home, it was already late, and the two babies had already fallen asleep, and Chocolate One glided over quietly, greeted him in the voice of one of Noah's favorite cartoon characters, and took his backpack and put it back in the room.
Zhou Yin washed his hands and sat down at the dining table, and Chocolate No. 1 brought him a simple but nutritionally balanced supper, although it was made by the machine, the taste was a little dull, but it was definitely acceptable, and after precise calculation, calories, various nutrients, trace elements, minerals...... The contents that Balabala can think of are accurate to the smallest unit of daily use, and they can be eaten with confidence and boldness, which will neither let Noah consume too many calories at night, nor will he be unable to keep up with his nutrition at the age of eighteen, which will affect his physical development.
Then, while Zhou Yin was eating, Chocolate No. 1 stood aside and reported the situation of the two children for a day.
At the beginning, Zhou Yin always had the illusion that he had married a very virtuous wife, but recently he slowly got used to it, and felt that the life of organic people was really convenient.
After listening to the report of Chocolate No. 1 for a while, I suddenly found a problem, "Shouldn't several types of infant nutrition paste be fed in rotation, why are all X+ nutrition paste eaten four times a day?" β
Chocolate No. 1 explained decently, "Because the two babies have recently begun to have dietary preferences, they don't like to eat other types of nutritional paste, if they are hard fed they will cry, they are now only willing to eat X+ type, and each post-meal test shows that they eat X+ type with the best digestibility, and the calories generated after meals, and the growth hormone index are the highest." Then he reminded, "The X+ type nutritional paste reserves at home are enough to eat for two days, and it should be purchased." β
Zhou Yin turned out the purchase catalog from his light brain before going to bed, and found that the price of X+ baby nutrition paste was dozens of times that of several other types of nutrition paste, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, these two little guys really know how to choose.
Every morning is Noah's parent-child time, and now it has become Zhou Yin's parent-child time.
The two little ones are only a few months old and can't speak, the big one is called Xiaobai Μ Qin, and the small one is called Gu Li Μ Qin, and the two babies are white and cute.
But to be honest, at the beginning, Zhou Yin was very unaccustomed to their savings. He is a gay, and he has long been prepared to have no children, and suddenly two of them appeared, and he was immediately a little at a loss.
Until a few mornings ago, when Zhou Yin was feeding Xiaobai fruit-flavored baby paste, he inadvertently knocked a few times with a spoon on a small metal bowl, Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly opened his toothless little mouth and giggled.
Xiaobai smiled, Gu Li also laughed, his voice was pure and happy, immature and innocent like the voice of a little angel, and it went straight to Zhou Yin's heart, and Zhou Yin almost felt that his heartbeat throbbed a few times.
This move was out of control and quickly fell.
Every morning parent-child time has become the happiest time, Zhou Yin always tries to make the two little ones laugh, and that laughter is the natural sound of the cutest little angel in the world for him.
Xiaobai and Coulee were very interested in the sound of a spoon hitting anything, and they had to giggle when they heard it.
Zhou Yin knocked on the cup for a while, teased them and laughed for a while, and found that they were indeed only willing to eat x+ type nutritional paste, another fish flavor prepared by Chocolate No. 1, as soon as the spoon was brought to their mouths, the two babies frowned lightly together, and their faces were full of dislike.
Zhou Yin sighed, the X+ type is the most expensive and is also the most nutritious baby nutrition paste with the highest production technology, the most comprehensive nutrition, it is actually no problem to eat this alone, the reason why there are several kinds of mixed together for children to eat, one is to enrich the taste, and the other is because the X+ type is too expensive, so you can save a lot of Vescoin by mixing and eating.
But now it seems that this money cannot be saved.
After having breakfast with Xiaobai and Gu Li, he checked the indicators of Chocolate No. 1 again, and confirmed that there was no problem, his energy flow was sufficient, the control procedure was smooth, his whole body was functioning normally, and the reliability rate of taking care of the child reached 99.9999999, which was much higher than that of a human nanny, so Zhou Yin picked up his backpack and went to school.
The miniature aircraft hardly requires passengers to actively pilot, as long as the destination and speed requirements are set, it can lock on to the target, find the optimal route, and then fly over.
Zhou Yin took this opportunity to take a nap on the road again.
In the morning, there were two classes on the restoration of undersea monuments, and the speaker was none other than Professor Steve, who had rejected Noah.
He has been turning a blind eye to Zhou Yin, who came in the class, but the lecture is really vivid, Zhou Yin sits quietly in the back row of the classroom, listens carefully, and can be intoxicated every time. The vast history, the mysterious ancient civilization does have an inexplicable attractive power, no wonder Noah would make such a choice, he really loves this profession!
After class, Noah went to Qiao, the senior who had completely controlled the college before, and wanted to ask if there were still any people in the research groups he had participated in.
As soon as I entered the building with a special barrier metal faΓ§ade where the college is located, I was greeted by two students, a man and a woman.
The girl has a bumpy figure, waist-length chestnut curls, delicate and smooth skin, and standard facial features, which should be regarded as a standard beauty.
The boy is too tall and thin, too obedient with short light-colored hair sticking to his head, and his complexion is so pale that he looks like he hasn't been in the sun for half a year, and he is not a good match for the girls around him, it is Noah's other roommate Mayne.
Mayne only nodded perfunctorily when he met Noah a few times before, but this time he didn't know if it was because of someone around him, he was willing to speak, but his attitude was still cold, and he frowned and asked, "Noah, you are no longer a student of the Chemistry Academy, what are you doing at this time?" β
Zhou Yin looked at him lightly, "You don't completely control the Academy, what are you doing here?" β
Mayne was usually polite at school, but his politeness was reserved only for those who he thought were of the same class and qualified to associate with him, so he raised his chin and replied arrogantly, "I will accompany Miss Maggie, Miss Maggie is the granddaughter of General Horus, and you are not qualified to ask more about her." β
Zhou Yin shrugged, "It turned out to be the respected Miss Maggie, I was disrespectful." After saying that, he walked around them and walked away.
Maggie looked at Zhou Yin's back, a cruel look that did not match her beautiful image flashed in her eyes, and asked Mayne in a deep voice, "What does he mean by this?" β
Mayne was also a little caught off guard by Noah's reaction, dazed, "I don't know, he didn't talk like this before." β
In the past, Noah was very simple, and when he was happy, he would talk and laugh with a bunch of friends around him, and when he was unhappy, he would stare coldly at him with his big gray eyes.
Mayne just did that in fact, he wanted to provoke Noah to lose his temper in the hall on the ground floor, where people came and went, so that he was completely disgusted in the complete control of the academy, but who knew that he was not excited, and said something lukewarm that seemed to be sarcastic and left.
Zhou Yin found Qiao in the real room of a research group on the ninth floor, Qiao is in the fourth grade this year, is Noah's senior brother, and is one of the few kind-hearted people who still have a friendly attitude towards Noah.
Qiao once worked with Noah in a research group, and he knew Noah's abilities very well, and the relationship between the two was also good.
When he was in first grade, his father happened to be unemployed, and the family was financially strained for a while, so he understood Noah's difficulties very well and wanted to help him as much as possible. After thinking about it carefully for a while, he pushed his glasses and said, "Now there are four research groups in the college that need students, and two of them are people who need to record the number of people on duty, which is time-consuming and relatively low-paying; One has just been recruited; There is also a newly formed one, which is well paid, and although the requirements for team members are also high, it is certainly no problem at your level. "Wait a minute, the project leader happens to be here today, I'll go talk to him." After speaking, he turned around and left, saying as he walked, "Speaking of which, this project is a very important big project, and you also know the person in charge, that is, ............" He walked too fast, and Zhou Yin couldn't hear the words clearly.
After sitting down and waiting for a while, Qiao came back with a strange expression, "Noah, when did you offend Major General Nikolai too?" β
Zhou Yin was stunned, "Major General Nikolai!" Could it be that he is the person in charge of this project? β
Joe, "Yes, Major General Nikolai came to be a guest lecturer for a few months last year, probably to assess the feasibility of this project, weren't you still one of his student assistants at that time, I remember he had a good attitude towards you, what did you do to offend people?" β
Zhou Yin smiled bitterly, "It's hard to say, these big people sometimes have some tempers that we can't figure out." β
Qiao nodded in understanding, "I just helped you say good things for a long time, and he reluctantly agreed to let you go over for an interview, you work hard, and show yourself better!" β
Zhou Yin instinctively wanted to quit, but immediately remembered the expensive price of X+ baby nutrition paste in his mind, and immediately dispelled this idea, thinking that if he talked about it, there would be no shortage of meat, and it was a big deal that he would not hire himself.
The Major General was assigned to the University of Synthesis to supervise the development of an ultra-light mech, nominally in preparation for the upcoming Galactic Grand Alliance Junior Mecha Competition, but in fact it was a new weapon research and development project of the Vis Military Department.
He now has a very bad impression of Noah Qin, a young man, but he has to admit that the other party is a very potential talent in the field of complete control, and a person with a high talent like Noah, even if he is not a cutting-edge scientist, can often play an unexpected role in many research.
So after Joe's very hard recommendation, Major General Nikolai finally relented and agreed to let Noah come for an interview.
Zhou Yin walked into the permanent office of Major General Nikolai in the academy and nodded politely, "Good day, Major General." β
Admiral Nikolai did not speak, but looked at him very oppressively.
Major General Nikolai is a rare super-level warrior with spiritual power, and when he deliberately exerts pressure, the recipient is very difficult unless he is also of the same level of spiritual power.
Zhou Yin looked back stiffly with a sharp gaze that seemed to be substance, "Major General, I'm here to apply for the position of assistant researcher in the Alpha Ultralight Mecha Research Group." β
Major General Nikolai's face is hard, like a carved work of art, black hair and black eyes, his eyes are also very tough, he sits upright, just sitting there can see that his figure is tall and strong, he gives people a very hard military atmosphere around him, and he is incomparably handsome, very manly, no wonder there are so many admirers.
In the past, Noah liked him very much, but now Zhou Yin only felt a huge pressure, and after a while, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he had to remind him again, "Major General Nikolai, I know that your super-level spiritual power is very powerful, but I am just a student who has come to apply for a research position!" β
Only then did Major General Nikolai withdraw the invisible coercion, change to a more comfortable sitting position, put his hand on the seat handle, cocked his right leg, stared at Zhou Yin and asked, "It is said that your ambition is historical research, and you have already transferred to the academy, why do you still apply for this position?" β
Zhou Yin's legs weakened at the moment when he withdrew his mental pressure, and he almost fell, but he stood firm and calmed down, and replied with a serious face, "I have some financial difficulties and need to earn living expenses. β
A crack appeared on Major General Nikolai's tough face, "You only received a payment of five million Vis coins last year, and you spent it so quickly?" What did you do? β
Zhou Yin was also surprised, "How do you know that I received a sum of five million Vis coins last year?" Have you investigated my account?! The money was inexplicable, and I suspect someone sent it by mistake and has already returned it. β
A hint of disgust flashed across Major General Nikolai's face, "I'm not interested in investigating you, I just happened to know about it." Suddenly, he felt that Noah's big gray eyes flashing with surprise were so clear that he looked a little uncomfortable, so he stopped talking nonsense with Noah, picked up a paper agreement from the table and threw it over, "I know that your ability is qualified for this position, but I am not very optimistic about your character, so you have to sign an additional confidentiality agreement." Take it back and take a closer look, and if you're sure you can accept it, sign it and give it to my adjutant, and then you can get back to work. β
Zhou Yin used Xiaobai and Gu Li's cute little faces in his mind to restrain himself from slamming the door and leaving, silently picked up the agreement, turned around and left, thinking that it would be good for him to be so straightforward and bad, so he would have to pretend to be perfunctory.
On the other hand, Major General Nikolai did not feel that he was bad, but that he was a little too forgiving.
There is no punishment for a person who dares to use unbearable means against him and wants to make money from it, this is really not like what a person from the Armor family would do!
But remembering Noah's age and his kitten's big innocent eyes, Major General Nikolai found a reason for himself: don't be like a child.
Coming out of the office, Miss Maggie seemed to have a probe eye, and drove the latest golden aircraft in front of him as soon as he stepped out of the building, and the probe smiled softly, "Please come on, I hope Your Excellency the Major General remembers the lunch you agreed with me." β
Major General Nikolai sat up gracefully, "Let's go, please go to Dora's Restaurant, where there is newly shipped Black Diamond Star Beast meat." β
Maggie was a little shy, "Okay, thank you for remembering that I liked to eat this dish." β
Major General Nikolai pulled the collar, in fact, he was a little impatient, Miss Maggie found out that he would come to the comprehensive university today, and early in the morning under the pretext of looking for his cousin Mayne to have something to do, he came here to block him. Major General Nikolai casually said that he would invite Miss Maggie to lunch when he had time, and the young lady waited all morning and immediately asked him to fulfill his lunch promise.
Major General Nikolai was really annoyed by being watched so closely.
But after the incident last year, he couldn't refuse Miss Maggie's enthusiasm, and knew that he should at least try to develop a romantic relationship with the other party, and it was too unreasonable to refuse without trying.
But Major General Nikolai really couldn't lift his spirits to Miss Maggie, and when he was smiling and bored, a red-haired figure suddenly flashed outside the aircraft, sitting under a big tree on the side of the road and looking down at something, holding a bottle of drink in his hand, and drinking while watching.
The speed of the aircraft was very fast, and the figure was only fleeting, but Major General Nikolai's eyes were very good, and he could see it clearly in a flash, and after seeing it clearly, his heart felt extremely twisted: the bottle Noah drank water from was actually a baby bottle, and such a big boy actually wanted to drink water from a milk bottle! Perverted?
