Chapter 143: Happy Cooperation (2-in-1)

Westkerbrook, Silk Road West, Black Hole Restaurant, 20:15.

This is the top floor of a commercial building, and there is only one elevator to access the restaurant, except for a safe access staircase that is not open on weekdays.

These top-notch restaurants never have to worry about their guests, as they don't serve the average person hanging out outside.

Even the top marginalized people with millions of dollars (who make a living selling paintings) are not in their scope of service, and even those who are rough may not even be able to find the door, let alone buy and sell food in and out of the place.

No outside guests are welcome without an invitation or prior reservation.

Even when entering the elevator and pressing the floor button of this restaurant, you have to go through a special identification system before the elevator can go up to the top floor.

Taking the boy by the hand, Gloria walked onto this level.

After exiting the elevator, there is a long corridor with a bright red plush carpet on the floor, precious and artistic oil paintings hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and a small booth at intervals, and exquisite works of art in the glass cover.

There are chandeliers hanging on the ceiling in a classical style, candle-shaped tubes, and candle flames made by holographic projection technology.

This lavish décor makes one wonder if it's more of an art gallery than a restaurant.

At the end of the corridor is a "glass door" made of crystal, and the glass-colored crystal reflects the light of the corridor, and on it flows like the lake and the moon.

Two waiters who were dressed without a trace of pickiness stood next to the door, both of them standing straight and staring at each other, not at all as rude as the guards and thugs of ordinary high-end clubs and bars outside.

Lin Mo took Gloria's hand, strolling down the corridor with grace but arrogance, Gloria followed behind, holding her skirt nervously with one hand.

It's not so much a meal as a royal visit to a royal museum to see an art show.

Coming to the end of the glass door, the two waiters bowed in unison, and then maintained this state and respectfully pulled up the crystal door to welcome Lin Mo and Gloria.

They didn't ask Lin Mo's identity, everything was silent, and the VIPs who came here every night would be remembered by them in their minds, and it was impossible to make mistakes.

Especially tonight, they are even less likely to be mistaken.

Because tonight there will be one, and only one guest, a gentleman whose first name is Lin!

He's chartered!

The crystal door opens under the pull of the attendant, like the mythical and legendary dragon palace of the deep sea, full of coveted treasures.

However, there is no sunlight in the deep sea, and the sunlight reflects on the shallow surface of the sea, but it cannot penetrate deep into the seabed, so the deep sea is often a dark abyss.

The same is true for black holes.

The same goes for the inside of the restaurant, when Gloria crosses the threshold with confusion and the waiters close the crystal door, and the light source in the hallway is obscured by the crystal door, she finally realizes why this place is called the Black Hole Restaurant.

It was so dark, so dark that I couldn't even see the child walking in front of me holding my hand.

In the extreme darkness, vision completely lost its effect at this time, and only the crisp sound of his high heels stepping on the smooth floor in his ears was like a silver bottle bursting.

Aside from hearing, the only thing Gloria could feel was the touch on her hands, and she was holding the boy's hand.

"Don't you think it's too dark?" The boy asked suddenly.

The two have been occupied by teenagers since they met, during which Gloria has tried to find out the majesty of being an "adult" countless times, but under Lin Mo's elegant actions and leadership, she is more like the Cinderella who walked into the royal hall in a daze, if it were not for the prince's leadership, no one would notice her.

Obviously there are a lot of things to say, but when the words come to her mouth, Gloria can only say this:

"It's... A little. ”

"Then look forward to the last rays of the black hole!" Lin Mo chuckled and snapped his fingers.

Then a circulating aura appeared in the darkness, all over the corners of the restaurant, like a black hole in the universe, with endless darkness in the center and attracted light and chen outside the circle.

Circles of streamers appeared in the interior of the restaurant, some of them were holographic projections, some of which were images, all of which rippled like water.

The restaurant changed from invisible darkness to cosmic space, surrounded by terrifying black hole objects, and the afterglow of the black hole reflected in the restaurant, as if they were dining in the depths of the universe.

Gloria couldn't help but be shocked by this creation-like scene, just like a person who has never been exposed to a 3D movie, and was frightened by the beast that rushed out when she watched a 3D movie for the first time.

So the initiative returned to Lin Mo's hands again, and he took Gloria to the restaurant, and finally the two sat down in a window position.

The glass of the windows is also made of professional projection materials, which are rendered by the cosmic layer at this time, and the street scene outside cannot be seen.

"Mr. Lin, is tonight's meal served according to the reserved menu?"

A waitress dressed in a tight-fitting fluorescent suit walked over with a gentle and pleasant tone.

Gloria was startled by the sudden sound again, and turned her head to see the waiter in disguise.

The tight-fitting fluorescent suit on the other party's body blended perfectly with the surrounding projection environment, and even the head was hidden in the hood.

The uniform is covered with a black universe as the background color, dotted with stars and various celestial bodies, and the other party walks quietly, as if the stars are moving in the universe.

"Just by appointment, but you should also ask the lady in front of you."

Lin Mo smiled and stretched out his hand, his five fingers together towards Gloria opposite.

Seeing that the moving "celestial body" was facing her side, Gloria hurriedly waved her hand and said:

"I'll just eat as much as I want, I don't need to break the bank!"

The waiter smiled, and although no one could see it in the hood, the voice was clearly pleasant.

"Madam, please rest assured, the restaurant has been chartered by Mr. Lin tonight, no matter what you want to eat, we will do our best to meet your needs, as for the so-called broken fee, it naturally does not exist, Mr. Lin has paid all the fees at once, no matter what you want to order, the price is the same."

Gloria was already shocked, and was silent for a long time before replying:

"Let's do as he says."

However, the waiter didn't seem to have any intention of bypassing her, and she seemed to have already seen through who was the main one between the two distinguished guests tonight.

So she didn't make any movements, and a series of blurry and dreamlike words were projected in front of Gloria, and the font floated in the air like a divine revelation.

"This is tonight's menu, please look at it casually, tonight's 'universe' is so dark, it is your arrival that illuminates this starry sky, the black hole can absorb the light of all things, but can not absorb the dazzling beauty of the guests, Mr. Lin's beauty, if the guests refuse ruthlessly, then even the stars will cry."

The waiter continued in her melodious voice.

...... Damn, this guy is too good at talking.

Lin Mo looked at the waiter in amazement, watching her patiently continue to explain various dishes for Gloria, and his heart was full of shock.

The restaurant he chose tonight was also the top restaurant in Night City that he made a temporary reservation in the morning.

After all, he has been a rich boy for so many years, and he doesn't know all about the top service places in Night City, but at least he can say that he knows everything.

The simulated deeds have been written, and if tonight's gathering is chosen in the Yu Wan restaurant, it will inevitably run into some trouble.

He is not afraid of trouble, but he also does not want to take the initiative to cause trouble, so he naturally chooses another restaurant as a meeting place.

Now it seems that this black hole restaurant seems to be quite good, the waiters are all talented, and they speak well.

For the sake of the waiter being so sensible, Lin Mo also smiled, his eyes lit up with blue light, and he transferred a tip to the other party.

The waiter's words paused, and when she saw that she had inexplicably credited a sum of money, her mind began to fly rapidly, and she understood the meaning behind it in an instant.

So her attitude became more attentive, and she looked at Gloria like a cash cow, and her words and conversations were so enthusiastic that even Gloria felt a little unbearable.

Compared with the restaurant that his son David invited him to before, the waiter's service attitude can be called an "exemplary" representative.

Unable to resist the other party's urging, Gloria had to reluctantly choose a few dishes, which made the waiter bend down respectfully and politely replied:

"Okay, please wait a moment and enjoy the beauty of the quiet black hole here."

After the waiter left, Gloria breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the boy sitting across from her.

Lin Mo was still smiling, sitting upright, his eyes wandering on the star projection in the restaurant, and he didn't focus on Gloria.

"Lin... You shouldn't have spent so much money on me. ”

After pondering for a while, Gloria could barely hold back the words.

Even for Lin Mo's title, she didn't know what to say for a while, and she had prepared countless drafts in advance before coming.

But now after meeting the boy face to face, these manuscripts seem to have been burned into ashes by fire, and they disappear after a roll, and my mind is blank.

Mr. Lin? Lin Mo? Or Lin? Or is it a child?

After thinking about it for a long time, Gloria finally chose "Lin" as the title of the first sentence between the two.

"Auntie, just call me Lin Mo."

Lin Mo smiled, his body seemed to relax and leaned back on the chair, one hand propped up on the arm of the chair, and the palm of his hand supported his chin to look at Gloria.

"There is still a period of time before the food is served, so let's talk about these daily chores and chatters when we eat, what we need now is to talk about business first."

Gloria also subconsciously pulled her forehead hair, her face moved slightly, and her expression became serious.

She understands what Lin Mo is talking about, she can come here tonight, it is nothing more than the "wind in his ears" blown by her son David, saying that there is an excellent job waiting for her, and that classmate Lin who has a relationship wants to hire your mother to do a promising job...

Thinking of this, she also took out the card from her carry-on bag, put it on the table, and said with some hesitation:

"Is this card you asked David to give me, is it all true?"

"I'm also a friend of David, if my words don't count, I can't be friends with David, aunt, do you think I will tell lies?" Lin Mo said unhurriedly.

"It's not—" Gloria subconsciously bit her lower lip, her face tangled.

Once upon a time, even in the face of the principal of Arasaka Academy, she could talk to her son without humility or arrogance.

And in order for David to be able to study at Arasaka Academy, she is also in the business of selling second-hand prosthetics.

Gloria, who usually does this kind of business, is not lacking in courage and courage.

But under Lin Mo's repeated money attacks, as well as the shock of seeing this luxurious place for the first time, she was a little overwhelmed.

"If you're willing to join the company, I'll guarantee that the benefits on your card will be honored one by one, and I'll give you more benefits."

Lin Mo said in a mellow tone, with a hint of demagogy.

Gloria's throat moved slightly, if what the teenager said was true, then for her, it was a temptation that could not be refused.

This is simply the nectar brewed by the devil, knowing that this matter will not be so simple, but she, the bee, still can't help but get closer, and now she can come here, isn't it because of her heart?

"What is the job? I need to think about it. Gloria tried to regain a little initiative, looking at Lin Mo with a serious face.

Lin Mo smiled, put his hands together and crossed them on the table, and did not immediately answer his wife's question, but instead recalled a stalk in Lanxing in the past.

So, taking advantage of this opportunity, he replied with a smile:

"Auntie, you don't want your son to be bullied in the studio."

Gloria's eyes widened, and she looked at the teenager across from her in disbelief, as if she had reacquainted herself with each other.

After reacting, she said in a slightly cold tone:

"David's recent injury, is it your fault?"

"No, this is just a necessary training before joining the company, and I didn't treat him badly, the salary will be paid as usual during the training, and it will not affect his studies in the class, can Mrs. find a better treatment than this?"

Lin Mo looked calm, he had a clear conscience about what happened to David.

Gloria was silent, because what Lin Mo said was indeed good.

"But he's also your friend, and he's hurt so badly every time? And what exactly is the content of the work, the wound of such a beating from garbage disposal? She couldn't help but ask.

"According to the non-disclosure agreement, I can't tell you the truth until you sign the contract, if you really think about David, you might as well try to join the studio, although the studio is not as good as the big companies in Arasaka, but it is an opportunity in front of you."

"Instead of pursuing an unpredictable future, it is better to grasp the present, and besides, do you think David can really get ahead in the Arasaka company in the future? The competition within a large company, aunt, don't be blinded by a false future because you are looking forward to it..."

Seeing that Gloria was silent, Lin Mo smiled and stared at Gloria's face, and said with regret:

"Aunt, David he needs you, as your son, you are the person who knows him best in the world, if there is anything bad in the studio, he will definitely complain and suffer, and he will not recommend you to join, you don't believe me, don't you still believe in your own son?"

Like this kind of mother who cares for her son and depends on her son, Lin Mo also has her own persuasion methods.

Dealing with a self-reliant woman like Gloria, a lot of words are actually not good.

And the two had nothing to do before that, and it was not easy to convince each other in one go.

But it doesn't matter, the best way is to start with David, and half of his persuasion is not far from David.

After being silent for a long time, Gloria finally couldn't help it, sighed silently, and agreed to Lin Mo's invitation.

Maybe the defense line in her heart has already been completely broken under the situation of tonight.

First, let her son often brag in her ear, and then shock each other with a big scene after the two sides meet, so that they can't pose as elders.

In the end, she used her son as bait to persuade him to join the gang.

Lin Mo smiled triumphantly, and stretched out his hand politely, as happily as if he had negotiated a big deal, and the lady opposite was stunned for a while, and also stretched out her hand to shake him.

"Then, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."
