"Hello, is this the Dark Night Restaurant?"

A young man with a large suitcase in tow and a British short blue and white cat lying on his back looked at the navigation on the ID card and came to the door of the Black Night Restaurant.

"First time? Our restaurant's opening hours only start at 4 p.m., and it's not open yet, so come back later. ”

The security guard in charge of security glanced up at him and responded.

"Hello, I'm not here to consume, I'm here to apply, and I've communicated with Mr. Wang, and he asked me to come here to interview him."

"Name."

"Forest."

After checking the list, the security guard conducted a simple security check on Lin Li.

"And the rats?"

During the inspection, the security guard found that the left pocket of the young man's jacket actually contained a mouse.

"This is my pet, very well-behaved."

"Let's go in, the boss is on the fourth floor, the first room 401 inside." The security guard nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"But a word of caution, it's best not to let the boss see your cat and mouse, there are always customers who don't like these two animals, especially mice, and you are not a customer......

And what the customer doesn't like, the boss will definitely not like.

If you don't have a place to put them, you can leave them at the door for the time being, and I'll watch them for you. ”

"Thank you." Lin Li thanked the security guard, who was indeed well-intentioned, but still refused: "But forget it." ”

"That's up to you."

How could Lin Li not bring Tom and Jerry, the two of them were the confidence that Lin Li dared to come here.

It is a large restaurant with a magnificent interior.

There are also many devices that have only been seen on ID cards.

Soon, Lin Li came to 401.

"Knock knock!"

"Come in."

The moment the internal sound appeared, the door opened automatically.

A middle-aged man is sitting at his desk looking at himself.

As the security guard said, the moment he saw the cat on his back, the restaurant owner named Wang Ci frowned.

"Hello, Boss Wang, I'm here to apply, I've contacted you before, Lin Li." Lin Li took the initiative to say.

"Is that the one who applied for the residency singing?"

"Yes."

That's right, Lin Lilai Restaurant is naturally not a job that is squeezed to the extreme by applying for a waiter.

He's here to be a singer.

According to the understanding on the ID card, Dark Night is a mid-to-high-end restaurant in Dawning City, even if the residents of Dawning City, located in the lower reaches of the class, basically do not come here to consume.

Therefore, instead of playing music on a machine, the restaurant chooses to have musicians and singers play and sing for guests on the stage set up in-house.

According to what I saw on the flyer before, the salary is settled on a daily basis, as long as the application is successful, the basic salary is 500 days, and the extra song is more than 50, and there will be a guest tip, but 28 points.

Of course, the restaurant is eight.

This kind of daily salary and relatively free working hours is simply tailor-made for yourself.

And when it comes to musical talent, no, strength, my two partners, are definitely tailor-made.

One of the memes that Lin Li will never forget is the dynamic picture of Tom 'serving' six instruments at the same time.

One in each hand and four in the mouth.

A good picture was given other indescribable metaphors, which left a deep impression on Lin Li.

In addition to this picture, Tom has also given concerts in the series and is skilled in various instruments......

The same goes for Jerry, even with a huge piano, he can play the piece perfectly by jumping on it.

In one episode, when the house breaks into a brown bear that dances with Tom when he hears music, Jerry teases Tom by playing an accompaniment.

However, in order to ensure the existence of this ability, when Lin Li was at home, he also asked Tom and Jerry to show off their ability to sing and play instruments in front of him.

The results are not surprising, whether it is elegant classical music or modern songs popular on the earth, they can easily control, and even make Lin Li feel better than the original song.

Naturally, Dawning City also has songs that belong to this world, and these songs, Tom and Jerry, as long as they listen to them once, can be perfectly reproduced.

However, Lin Li didn't intend to let Tom and Jerry sing, and the cat and mouse who could speak and the cat and mouse who could play musical instruments were not an order of magnitude in terms of cherishing at all.

Huaibi is guilty.

"Let's show off all your abilities first."

Looking at Tom with more eyes, Wang Ci held back some words, but said instead.

Putting Tom aside, Lin Li opened the suitcase that he had been dragging and took out the instruments inside, trumpet, violin......

Seeing that Lin Li packed all the musical instruments in his suitcase, and didn't even have his own individual packaging, Wang Ci's brows furrowed a little deeper.

Because Wang Ci thinks that people who treat musical instruments like this can hardly expect him to have high artistic attainments.

These instruments were not bought by Lin Li himself, but taken out of Tom's back by himself.

"Tom and Jerry have an extradimensional space behind them, and they can take out what they need, big or small. But when someone is looking at their backs, the ability can only remove smaller, shape-fitting objects from their fur."

That's what the Bestiary ability description says.

"Boom!"

The sound of slapping the table in front of him, Lin Li took out the instrument and looked at Wang Ci with some doubts.

Wang Cizheng looked at himself with great annoyance.

"What's wrong, Boss Wang."

"It's okay if you bring a cat for an interview, why do you still carry a mouse with you!"

Jerry jumped out of his pocket and stood with Tom before Wang Ci finally noticed him.

"The most taboo thing in the restaurant is the appearance of disgusting rats, don't you understand this?"

Jerry's expression turned stinky, he folded his arms and rolled his eyes, one foot stretched out in front of him constantly tapping on the ground.

Tom snickered very unethically.

"And this cat! It's not cute at all, it's a little obscene, and customers won't like it! ”

The snickering stopped abruptly, and Tom and Jerry's expressions agreed at this moment.

"Lin Li, let me tell you, let's not mention how your performance level is, assuming that you join the company, you can't bring this cat and mouse into the restaurant.

And, I'm quite skeptical of your strength right now! There is a limit to my patience! ”

"That's right, Boss Wang, they are my partners, and they have the strength to apply for singers, but it's not me, it's them, they are the real masters."

Lin Li was not surprised by this reaction, but said according to the typed draft.

"They're the monsters that have been in the Grey Realm?" Wang Ci took a step back, and the eyes of Tom and Jerry became much more vigilant.

"No, it's the descendants of purified intelligent creatures." Lin Li said, "It's not aggressive. ”

Wang Ci was a little relieved, and then he reacted to something more important, and scolded Lin Li loudly:

"A cat and a mouse, what kind of musical talent can you have, are you playing with me?"

"Because they are intelligent creatures," Lin Li was not annoyed, and placed the prepared musical instruments in front of Tom and Jerry, "Boss Wang, you might as well listen to it first, don't be in such a hurry to make a conclusion." ”

"Heh, even if my dark night restaurant dies, if it goes out of business, and if it costs me Wang Ci to jump off the building, it is impossible to invite cats and mice to sing in my restaurant."

Wang Ci's face was full of disdain.

……

The performance begins.

Five minutes later.

End of playing.

……

"Tonight is your first time playing on stage, and I'm going to place you on the third floor, where you're going to be on the highest end of the floor, serving all the most high-end consumers and tipping the most.

The basic etiquette will be temporarily trained by the service manager on the third floor.

The business on the third floor is a little different from the restaurant, and it only starts at five o'clock, are you ready? ”

Wang Ci got up, came to Lin Li, shook hands with him, and said cordially and gently.

It's so fragrant.

Wang Jingze's theorem is honest and does not deceive me.

"No problem." Lin Li nodded confidently.

Tom and Jerry also proudly echoed on the sidelines.

"What kind of piece did you just play, how come I've never heard it." Wang Ci, who had just made a music, was still echoing in his ears, and he said unsatisfied.

"Our original."

I'm sorry Chopin.

Sorry Mozart.

It turned out that he was holding the script of the copyist - "I Lin Li, I really don't want to become an entertainment boss in another world".

"Yes, yes, it turns out that you still have this kind of talent, and you have never heard of your name in Dawning City, seeing that your ID serial number is so new, just from another city?" Wang Ci nodded frequently and asked.

"Well, I just arrived in Dawning City recently."

"Sure enough." Wang nodded knowingly.

"But there's another problem, that is, this mouse of yours, still can't perform on the stage, this is the bottom line." Wang Ci's eyes looked at Jerry, and his eyes were a little pity.

Jerry squinted his eyes again and looked at Wang Ci dissatisfied.

"I can guarantee that he doesn't run around, he's very well-behaved, or put a glass cover on the stage, so that customers don't have to worry about being attacked." Lin Li interceded for Jerry.

"It's not a problem, we have a lot of female customers, but most of them have a physiological aversion to mice, and he must not appear in the customer's sight."

Wang Ci was very resolute in this point.

"Jerry looks cute, he's completely different from ordinary mice." Lin Li said sincerely.

When Jerry heard this, he began to pretend to be cute.

"It's a rat after all." Wang Ci shook his head, "I can't see anything cute." ”

Jerry's expression stiffened, and then he smiled.

Wang Ci doesn't have a childhood filter, and in this world, for a humanoid creature, whether it's a mouse or not, they will think more of a gray beast.

So with this reaction, Lin Li also understood.

"Okay."

Anyway, if there is one more Jerry, Wang Ci will not give himself a salary increase, and Tom can be a band by himself - it's a big deal to reproduce the dynamic picture.

Lin Li bent down, intending to pat Jerry's head and comfort him.

"Huh?"

Jerry was gone, and he had just noticed that it was here.

"Where's Jerry?" Lin Li looked at Tom who was whistling on the side.

Tom held out his finger and pointed.

Following the direction he pointed, Lin Li finally saw Jerry:

Wang Ci's calf was already tied with large explosives, and Jerry, who looked angry, as if he was taking revenge, took out a match from his back, rubbed it on the ground and successfully lit it.

With a 'hideous' smile, he gradually approached the fuse of the dynamite.

Lin Li: "......"

It's only been a few seconds since this guy teleported to that side, and he's done so much.

And Wang Ci seems to be completely unaware of all this happening.

Lin Li has used [Jerry's small firecracker], judging from the equivalent of Wang Ci's legs, if this is ignited, let alone Wang Ciren, this room is almost useless.

"Ahem!"

At the moment when the match was about to touch the lead, Lin Li coughed vigorously twice.

Jerry looked up, noticed Lin Li, who was not kind to him, sighed, looked at the explosives with some regret, and reluctantly extinguished the match.

"Take the explosives back."

Lin Li gestured with his eyes.

If Wang Ci found out, he really couldn't tell it at all.

"Got it."

Although very reluctant, Jerry did not disobey Lin Li's orders.

"What's wrong?" Noticing Lin Li's gaze, Wang Ci asked.

By the time he looked down, Jerry and the explosives were gone.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Li breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Jerry, who had returned to him, and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Okay, you're going to send your entry to the work group, do you want to take a stage name? Or just use your real name – if you don't mind revealing it. ”

Wang Ci's ID card projected a projection of Lin Li's inability to see the content, the anti-peep mode, and then looked up at Lin Li and asked.

"Then let's take a stage name." Lin Li thought for a while and said.

"His name is Mozart." Lin Li pointed at Tom.

"His name is Chopin." Next up is Jerry's stage name, although he doesn't appear on the stage.

"My name is ...... Hua Chengyu. After thinking about it, Lin Li also got one for himself.

It's a pretty heavyweight name. You know, what is the surname of the Chinese music scene? The surname is Hua!

Yes, I do have a dream of becoming a musician.

"Oh, you also have a stage name, right, by the way, Lin Li, I forgot to ask, how is your own performance level?" Wang Ci suddenly thought of this and was very curious.

"Fairly average." Lin Li scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Don't be modest, how can someone who can make Mozart and Chopin respect you be ordinary, come on, sing a few words." Wang Ci said sincerely.

"You're so enthusiastic...... the corners of Lin Li's mouth couldn't help but hook, "Then I'll sing a few words." ”

It's been a long time since I've been praised, but there are still a lot of good people in the Overworld.

"Okay, well, I'll hear you." Wang Ci is looking forward to it.

"If you can't sing well, please bear with me."

"I have a hunch, it will definitely not be unpleasant!"

"Okay, Boss Wang, I'll present you with my original song "Just Because You're Too Beautiful"."

"Come on!"

The performance begins.

"Just because you're too beautiful baby~ Just because you're too beautiful baby~ Just because you're so beautiful baby......"

Wang Ci's pupils shook, and things developed beyond his expectations.

No, let go of the cruel words, and you have to hold on.

As for Tom and Jerry, the hair on their bodies had already exploded, and the next second, they took out cotton and plugged their ears.

Fifty seconds later.

The performance is interrupted.

Wang Ci can't do it.

"Lin Li, I suddenly found that four o'clock is approaching, so you might as well take Mozart to prepare." He said with a headache.

"Doesn't the third floor open until five o'clock?" Lin Li is still unfinished, and he hasn't sung to the climax yet.

It's all ready for the Iron Mountain.

"So it's a preparation, the third floor is full of important guests, you have to get familiar with it early."

Wang Ci shuddered.

His brow furrowed even more than he had seen Jerry the first time, and his lips were pale and slightly painful.

Lin Li felt that this expression was a little familiar.

"Shhhh

Lin Li remembered!

After listening to Squidward's performance, I was in this state.

It's broken, I'm an Octopus brother!

"Okay." Realizing this, Lin Li, who understood that "don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself", nodded regretfully.

"Go ahead." Wang Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and after sitting back in his place, he remembered something, stared at Lin Li, who was packing up his musical instruments, and emphasized: "As long as this cat performs, Lin Li, you are definitely not even allowed to make a sound." ”

"If you sing, your salary will be deducted directly!"

Wang Ci: Even if you are tortured, you must not let customers be tortured.

"I know ......" Lin Li's eyes were very desolate and resentful.

Noticing Jerry in his pocket, he was sitting in his pocket sullenly with the corners of his eyes drooping at this time, and Lin Li's steps to leave paused.

He turned to Wang Ci and said, "Boss Wang, in fact, I can still sing, but I'm not very good at the type I just sang, you don't want to give me another chance." ”

"Next time, definitely." Wang Ci hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's not as good as this time."

"That'...... You sing it. Wang Ci sighed and prepared to go to prison.

Lin Li pulled up the collar of his clothes, snuck Jerry out of his pocket, and threw it into his neck.

Jerry looked up at Lin Li in confusion.

"Ahem, I'm going to sing, just sing the recently popular "Nuclear" in Dawning City."

Lin Li said loudly, and at the same time put on the accompaniment with his ID card.

This is a song I listened to in the morning when I tested Tom Jerry's singing.

Jerry finally realized, his eyes widened violently, and he nodded in his collar.

The next show is brought by Jerry and Lin Li: Double Reed.

- Lin Li looked at the lyrics on the ID card and lip-synched, and Jerry sang loudly.

It's a pity that Lin Li's original plan was to be the one who blindly commanded on stage, but now it seems that he has no chance.

……

Qu Bi.

"If you don't sing, your salary will be directly deducted, sing, Lin Li, I'll add a hundred to your basic salary!

Lin Li, our restaurant needs talents like you! ”

Wang Ci once again went up to the face master, left his position and came to Lin Li, and shook hands with him excitedly.

"But your voice has changed so much."

"We singers professionally are all like this, and we are actually opening our voices just now." Lin Li's explanation is very natural.

"Indeed, I will say that the sound of the broken horn is not possible for the owner of a cat who has taught such a talent in music theory! Sure enough, you're hiding! ”

"Thank you, Boss Wang." Lin Lipi didn't smile.

Tom and Jerry don't like to talk.

"" Inside.

Most of them were understood by Lin Li from their movements and expressions, not from the words they spoke.
