The new century is the most famous pastime and entertainment place in Star City, receiving all kinds of people, whether men and women, young and old, rich and poor, beautiful or ugly, single or already married, as long as they come to the new century, they can have fun here.
Here, you can think of everything you can think of. No matter who comes to Star City, they will go to the new century to see the world, so there is a saying in the world that they have not been to Star City until the new century. There are unlimited opportunities and possibilities, but also cruel blows and challenges, some people started from scratch here and became millionaires, some people lost all their wealth here and died here, and some people were greedy for pleasure, abandoned their wives and children, and hid here for the rest of their lives.
The new century is divided into two areas, one is the most luxurious commercial street, the commercial street is a place for the consumption of the upper class, specially entertaining the rich, of course, the people who can consume here, must be either rich or expensive, many sons and daughters of the upper class like to come here for entertainment. The other is the bustling and lively pedestrian street, where everyone is entertained, lively and extraordinary, many people who have no money to spend in the commercial street, will come to the pedestrian street, the snacks here are varied, the entertainment venues are cheap and affordable, however, the liveliness here is only limited to the daytime, once the night falls, there is no one on the pedestrian street, the pedestrian street at night is desolate, no one dares to approach, the people who operate in the pedestrian street, not only do business during the day, but also take all kinds of "private work", many people come to the pedestrian street to ask them to do things, all kinds of celebrity scandals, company accidents, car accidents, as long as they have money, they can do it.
In the new century, the forces are mixed, there is no unified leader, they are their own masters, people are unpredictable, although the pedestrian street does some illegal things, but they do not leak, people can not get any handle, and the commercial street and the pedestrian street are inextricably linked, once the government investigates the pedestrian street, it will inevitably involve the commercial street, the commercial street in the entire star city of the position of the pivotal, the interests of the commercial street are related to the interests of the entire star city, therefore, the investigation of the pedestrian street, is to take the interests of the entire star city risk, so, As long as the pedestrian street is not excessive, the government will not act rashly, and it is precisely because of this that the people in the pedestrian street are even more rampant, and many cases have been created.
The pedestrian street has created a number of cases, and has not been punished by law, which has made many people angry, but also made more people familiar with the new century, come to the new century to observe, the new century has become more prosperous, and now in recent years, its development momentum has become more vigorous, up to the leaders of officials, down to young students, the new century has become the first choice for many people's entertainment.
The Baroque restaurant is the most upscale French restaurant in the New Century shopping street.
When Mo Yuanxi came to the Baroque restaurant, Lin Xinning had arrived, Lin Xinning was Mo Yuanxi's classmate in the United States, she had excellent grades at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she was humble, plus she had a strong temperament, and her gestures showed the nobility of the upper class celebrities, so she was the object of everyone's pursuit, because she was the same as Mo Yuanxi was a person from Star City, Mo Yuanxi had a good relationship with her when she was in the United States, she returned to China a few days ago, and invited Mo Yuanxi to participate in the homecoming banquet she held, But at that time, it was the critical moment when Mo's emergency board of directors was convened, and he couldn't withdraw, and now he took the initiative to invite her out, hoping that she could understand, and Mo Yuanxi still had an important matter for her to do.
Entering the restaurant, Mo Yuanxi found her at a glance, so he walked straight over, and Lin Xinning kept looking in the direction of the door, and when she saw Mo Yuanxi appear, a smile instantly overflowed on her face.
Mo Yuanxi came to the seat in front of Lin Xinning and sat down slowly, and the waiter handed over the flowers that Mo Yuanxi had ordered in advance to Mo Yuanxi, "Sir, the flowers you ordered were all picked today according to your meaning." ”
"Okay, let's go down!" Hearing the waiter's words, and looking at these flowers again, they are indeed very fresh, and Mo Yuanxi is very satisfied.
"You have been back to China for so long, and I haven't had time to invite you to dinner, this bouquet of flowers should be used to make amends for you!" Mo Yuanxi gave the flower in his hand to Lin Xinning.
"Wow~ Thank you!" Lin Xinning also knew that she did not expect Mo Yuanxi to put down her busy company affairs and make a special trip to find herself, now Mo Yuanxi can take the initiative to invite herself to dinner, Lin Xinning is already very happy, she returned to China completely for Mo Yuanxi, she likes Mo Yuanxi, but every time she hints to Mo Yuanxi, Mo Yuanxi responds to herself seemingly nothing, making Lin Xinning unpredictable, and now he actually gave himself flowers, looking at the flowers he gave himself, Lin Xinning smiled happily.
"Want something to eat? This restaurant has your favorite steak in French wine. Mo Yuanxi picked up the menu and handed it to Lin Xinning, and said with a smile, "I just don't know if there is an American authentic." ”
Lin Xinning was very fond of French red wine steak when she was in the United States, she often said to Mo Yuanxi that American French steak is very authentic, and the taste is particularly similar to the red wine steak she ate in France, and now when she heard Mo Yuanxi say this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You actually laughed at me." Obviously, Lin Xinning didn't mind, she opened the menu, looked at the red wine steak on the menu, and still insisted on saying, "The red wine steak I eat in the United States really tastes very similar to what I eat in France." ”
"Okay, then you try Star City's French red wine steak is not authentic, it doesn't look like French." Mo Yuanxi said with a smile.
"Well, of course!" Lin Xinning nodded and said to Mo Yuanxi seriously. Then Lin Xinning ordered according to the menu.
The waiter memorized the dishes ordered by Lin Xinning on the side, and after finishing the memorization, he handed the list to Mo Yuanxi and asked, "Sir, do you need to add something?" ”
"Two more French vanilla lattes!" Mo Yuanxi looked at the list and added two more glasses to drink, and handed the list to the waiter.
"Why is this restaurant called Baroque? I think the Baroque is like a European architectural style! Lin Xinning looked at this restaurant and didn't understand why a restaurant had a European architectural name, and what Baroque had to do with France and restaurants.
"Well, Baroque is a style of European architecture." Mo Yuanxi has learned about the Baroque style, and naturally knows the Baroque, "In the late Italian Renaissance, there was a famous architectural theorist and architect named Vignola, the Jesuit church he designed was a representative work of the transition from Mannerism to Baroque, and was also known as the first Baroque building in the world, Baroque architecture was first prevalent in Germany and Italy, and later the center of secular architecture of the Baroque style became France, and people will think of France when they talk about Baroque, Perhaps this is the origin of the Baroque and France! Mo Yuanxi observed the shop and continued, "And the original meaning of the word Baroque is strange and eccentric, it is used by classicists to call this architectural style that is considered to be deviant, and later because these treatment techniques are unique, and gradually recognized by the public and widely imitated, so the meaning of Baroque has also changed, and now the meaning of Baroque is to break the quiet and harmonious of reason, rich in romanticism, maybe the owner of this shop wants to innovate on the basis of French cuisine, That's why the name Baroque was chosen! ”
Mo Yuanxi said and suddenly saw a cross hanging on the wall behind the waiter's platform, and he was even more sure in his heart, "The Baroque style is evolved from the Latin cross used in Gothic churches, you look at the cross in the middle." Mo Yuanxi pointed it out to Lin Xinning.
Lin Xinning turned his head and looked in the direction of Mo Yuanxi's finger, and there was indeed a cross on the wall behind the platform.
"In the early Baroque period, there were crosses on the building, but later when it spread to various European countries, it was not suitable to adopt the Latin cross plane before it was replaced, and if I guessed correctly, the owner of this shop must have been a Christian." Mo Yuanxi boldly guessed.
"Oh, I see!" Lin Xinning did not know about the origin of Baroque and Christianity. In the process of Mo Yuanxi's explanation, the waiter had already brought out all the dishes they ordered, and the waiter heard Mo Yuanxi's words, and was very surprised that Mo Yuanxi guessed the intention of naming the restaurant Baroque, and admired him very much, so he interjected and said: "This gentleman is right, our boss is a proper Christian!" As he spoke, he took out the tag on his chest and showed it to Mo Yuanxi and Lin Xinning, there was an obvious cross on the tag, "Even our employees have crosses on the tags......
The waiter's words undoubtedly verified Mo Yuanxi's guess, Lin Xinning looked at Mo Yuanxi's gaze with a little more admiration, the two of them ate almost, Mo Yuanxi did not explain to Lin Xinning the reason for taking the initiative to contact her, Lin Xinning thought about Mo's current situation, and would not let him idle to chat with him for no reason.
"Is Mo alright?" Although Lin Xinning didn't want to touch Mo Yuanxi's wound, he couldn't help but ask him. She wanted to help Mo Yuanxi, but she didn't know where to start.
"There's no big problem with the Mo clan, the crisis has been resolved, it's just ......" Mo Yuanxi hesitated a little.
"Just say something!" Seeing Mo Yuanxi's spitting appearance, Lin Xinning's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said to Mo Yuanxi sincerely, "You know if there is anything you need my help with, I will definitely help you." ”
"My sister is in Star City Academy, I'm very worried about her ......" Mo Yuanxi hesitated to speak.
"Your sister! Didn't she go to the United States to recuperate? Lin Xinning said with some surprise when he heard Mo Yuanxi say that Mo Lingxing was in Star City Academy.
"She's always been in Star ......City," Mo Yuanxi said solemnly, his face no longer had the smile he had just had when he chatted with Lin Xinning, "We were afraid that Dong Tao would hurt Ling Xing, so we announced that Ling Xing had gone to the United States to recuperate." ”
"Then ...... you are looking for me today" Lin Xinning somewhat understood the purpose of Mo Yuanxi's special invitation to her today.
"Xin Ning, I can't protect Ling Xing in the group at all times, I can't even go to see her, I think if you can, can you go to Star City Academy to see her on my behalf......" Mo Yuanxi looked sad when he thought of the current situation of the Mo family, now he can't make a wrong step, otherwise the Mo family will be doomed, and the Mo family will also change its name, but he really doesn't worry about Mo Lingxing.
"Well, anyway, I'm going to look for a job after I return to China, and it's not bad to go to Star City Academy to be a life instructor, and by the way, I can help you take care of my sister, why not." Lin Xinning readily agreed.
Mo Yuanxi knew that Lin Xinning would agree, but what he didn't expect was that she would go to Star City Academy as a life instructor, which was simply a condescension for a top student at MIT, "How can this work, Xin Ning, Ling Xing is amnesia now, you just need to take the time to see her and confirm that she is okay, why bother to be a life instructor at Star City Academy!" ”
"Yuanxi, you know, for you, I can do anything, including going to Star City Academy to be a life coach." Lin Xinning looked at Mo Yuanxi affectionately, "I like you!" ”
