"These two guys, why are they so rhythmic even at the agreed time?"

Seeing that the two entrusting applicants replied to their invitations one after the other within a total of five minutes, Lin Mo couldn't help but muttered in his heart, wondering about the place and time that these two people agreed to meet.

In the matter of meeting each other, he only has the right to choose the time, not the right to choose the location, in order to save time, he really wants to meet the two of them on the same day.

In this way, in order to avoid meeting the two at the same time, he needs to plan the time in advance, one of them will meet at noon and the other will meet in the evening.

Only by staggering the time slots of each meeting can you use your time effectively and wisely, and you can avoid the awkward situation of meeting with two people.

However, to Lin Mo's surprise, before he could speak, these two entrustment applicants were so knowledgeable, and they each took the initiative to meet at different times and in different locations.

This saved him the trouble of explaining more.

Lin Mo replied a few words to the two people opposite the chat column on the app, thinking that it would not be too late to say anything tomorrow, and then took the initiative to interrupt the chat with the two under the pretext that he needed to rest early.

After turning off the computer, washing up, and walking to the soft bed, Lin Mo quickly fell asleep on the bed.

......

......

There was no word all night, and the time soon came to the next morning.

As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Mo, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, was woken up by Xu Wanxue's shout from the living room.

He got up from the bed neatly, and after a simple wash, he put on the clothes he wore to meet others today, a delicate jet-black suit, giving people the feeling of a noble child who came out of a film and television drama and was about to participate in a banquet.

When he walked out of the bedroom in this dress, he was naturally interrogated by Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying.

After all, his job today is nothing more than to escort the two of them out of Shenyang, and it is only seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and it is estimated that it will only be noon until the two of them are sent away from Shenyang, and there is still more than half of the daytime left, and it is impossible to dress so formally to be a driver for the two of them, but more likely to want to meet someone.

Lin Mo didn't hide it, and bluntly said that he was going to make an appointment with two new hacker teachers, and wanted to learn some hacker skills from each other.

When you meet for the first time, you always have to make a good impression on each other, and it's normal to dress up.

Seeing this, the two women did not say anything more, and after a short stop at home, the three of them left the apartment together without any further thoughts, and drove towards the highway outside the city.

On the way, Liu Ruoying also wondered why their driving route was not in the direction of the airport, but Xu Wanxue casually explained that she wanted to travel by car, which blocked Liu Ruoying's mouth.

As for the flight plane that was about to explode in the foresight, Lin Mo was not very worried, because the plane was a special plane that Xu Wanxue was riding alone, and the plane would not take off if she didn't get there in person.

Even if they didn't arrive at the airport at the scheduled time, the staff there would at most mistakenly think that Xu Wanxue was late, and without Xu Wanxue's own instructions, the staff could not have thought that the distinguished guests they were going to receive would have changed their mode of transportation long ago.

And the main owner has not arrived, and the AI hiding behind the scenes will naturally not do it easily, so that the plane can still play a role in attracting attention.

And when Xu Wanxue and the two leave Shenyang, after the behind-the-scenes AI judges that the plan fails, there is a high probability that they will not continue to waste energy trying to blow up a plane, this kind of extra behavior is not only meaningless, but also increases the risk of exposing itself, and it is impossible for the AI with a fairly rational thinking logic to make such a move.

The city is full of traffic, and without anyone noticing, an ordinary sports car gradually arrives at the entrance to the highway.

Along this highway, Xu Wanxue and Liu Ruoying can drive away from Shenyang and go to other cities, as long as they are far away from the radiation range of AI power, they can take a plane in other cities, and finally arrive safely in Night City.

Although this temporary change of transportation mode is also contrary to the company's will to some extent.

But as long as the final result remains unchanged, when Xu Wanxue really arrives in Night City, then Kangtao Company will not embarrass an incoming CTO because of such a trivial matter.

At the end of the day, someone like her, who is already at the top of the corporate power pyramid, can have a certain degree of autonomy.

......

The final parting has finally arrived.

In front of a roadside gas station, taking advantage of the gap when Xu Wanxue was about to fill up the vehicle, Lin Mo also chose to get off here.

"I wish you all a smooth journey." Lin Mo half raised his hand and shook it, saying goodbye to the two.

Xu Wanxue nodded with a lonely expression and didn't say anything, only Liu Ruoying, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked like she was about to cry, stretched out her hand to wipe the tears that did not exist in her eyes, and said pretending to be sad:

"Don't forget about us, make sure to finish your errands early and head to Night City, where we'll be waiting for you."

She didn't know what Lin Mo wanted to do when he stayed in Shenyang this time, she only knew that he still had something to deal with when he stayed in Shenyang.

Although Liu Ruoying was very curious about this, since even Xu Wanxue didn't explain anything, she didn't want to ask, so she didn't have to wait for a suitable time to explore, and she was not in a hurry.

Lin Mo glanced at her silently, ignored her performance, waved his hand and parted with the two without looking back.

When he came to the side of the road, he casually dialed the city mutual aid thermal power, called a taxi, and after telling him the destination restaurant, the driver drove him to the downtown area of Shenyang.

The street scene outside the window drifted by, and as he went deeper and deeper into the interior of the city, there were more neon-style and ornate commercial shops.

Restaurants, cafes, clothing stores, breakfast shops... Each store is different, but they are all surprisingly consistent in attracting customers, using the most eye-catching signage and sparkling in colour even during the day.

In a place like the city center, where every inch of land is at a premium, no store wants to lose the lead in this invisible advertising competition.

Even the smallest store will purchase a big sign, and the well-funded will project a virtual image in the sky above the building, and there are no words to describe it except for the dazzling brilliance at a glance.

After watching these glorious scenes for a few minutes, Lin Mo felt that his eyeballs were a little tired, so he closed his eyes and leaned on the saddle.

It wasn't until ten minutes later, reminded by the driver's arrival, that he opened his eyes, paid the fare and turned around and walked out of the taxi.

The first thing that catches your eye when you get off the bus is a large shopping mall, which is also a shopping mall in this downtown area.

The disc-shaped building structure, the neon sign on the top floor is impressively marked with the four big characters of "Kangtao Plaza", and the floating cars suspended from high altitude rise and fall on the roof of the building, like a flock of birds that sometimes fly and sometimes fly away.

According to the information given by the entrusted applicant, Lin Mo finally came to the fourth floor of the mall, which was only one floor away from the fifth floor.

——The huge black floor-to-ceiling windows conceal the inside of the restaurant, and the only door is also an automatic glass door, which is also dark, if it weren't for a huge sign with a wave background in front of the store, Lin Mo wouldn't know that this is his purpose restaurant.

In the restaurant, virtual reality seems to be used, giving people the illusion of stepping into a wooden house by the sea.

At least when Lin Mo first stepped into the store, the scene he saw suddenly changed.

Wooden floors, stylish bar counters, decorative and retaining southern vegetation, wooden tables and chairs covered with white cloth...

The most important thing is the floor-to-ceiling windows, which are only dark from the outside, and you can only find that there is a hole in the sky when you look out from the inside...... He saw the sunny ocean, the blue water was surging at the tide, and even the skyline at the end of the field of vision showed the beautiful scenery of the sea at dusk and sunset.

"It's quite interesting..."Lin Mo secretly admired, and suddenly recalled the [Black Hole Restaurant] where he met Ms. Gloria for the first time, that restaurant was cosmic and celestial, and now this store has become the style of the southern coast.

"It's just... Where have all the people gone? He looked blankly around the store.

There wasn't even a single customer in the huge restaurant, not even the waiter, and he couldn't hear anything except the sound of the waves in the restaurant.

】

However, fortunately, just when he wondered if the store was closed, the wooden door of the back kitchen of the store suddenly opened, and a slightly chubby man in a chef's uniform hurriedly walked over, and said with an apologetic smile:

"I'm sorry, guest, our store was chartered today, and it will not be open to the public for the time being."

"And this? Then why is your store door still not locked? And don't you let the staff stop customers who don't know the situation outside? Lin Mo asked confusedly.

If nothing else, since the venue has been chartered, at least one of the staff members should be stationed outside the store to explain the situation to potential customers who don't understand the situation.

If he walked into the store for no reason, only to be told that the store had been booked, and if he were an ordinary customer, he might be in a worse mood and his rating of the restaurant would drop suddenly.

Isn't this a signboard smashing a storefront?

However, the chef quickly explained: "This is what the owner of the restaurant ordered, there is no need to leave too many staff in the restaurant today, and it is necessary to create a quiet atmosphere... Now there is only one assistant in the kitchen besides me..."

He paused, pointed to the door of the restaurant, and went on to explain:

"As for the problem you just mentioned, we have already dealt with it properly, the door of the restaurant has actually been locked, and it will only be opened to the guests designated by the boss, and no one else can come in, at most they will mistakenly think that the restaurant is closed today."

"Then why am I allowed to come in?" Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little interested.

"Maybe the glass door monitoring device is malfunctioning, I'm sorry, guest, I'll go see it now."

After the chef apologized, he hurriedly walked to the glass door of the restaurant and began to check the central control data screen next to the door.

He pressed a few times on the screen, and a confused expression quickly appeared on his face:

"It's weird, this thing isn't broken..."

He seemed to be a little unconvinced, walked to the glass door, walked out the moment the glass door opened, and then turned around and took the initiative to stand outside the door of the restaurant, looking at the glass door that did not react at all, and his expression gradually became dull.

After a while, the glass door didn't move...

Looks like it's not broken... The corners of Lin Mo's mouth twitched, seeing that the chef had shut himself out, he pointed to the central control device next to the door with a worried face, as if he was signaling Lin Mo, who was staying inside, to help open the door.

There was no way, Lin Mo had no choice but to walk to the digital screen and follow the simple instructions above to open the glass door of the restaurant.

"Hell, this thing isn't broken at all, why is this a problem..."As soon as he walked through the door, the chef scratched his head in confusion.

Lin Mo coughed a few times, attracting the chef's attention.

"Is it possible that I am the guest invited by the boss?" He pointed to himself and made a conjecture.

"You?" The chef is also very confused: "If you are a guest, how do you not know about the restaurant reservation at noon today?" ”

"Maybe your boss didn't tell me." Lin Mo shook his head, and he didn't quite understand this:

"But I did make an appointment at the restaurant today, but I don't know anything about the restaurant being chartered."

After all, it was the applicant's idea to meet at this beach restaurant, and he had "never met" with the other party, so why did the other party charter a restaurant for him, a "stranger"?

Could it be that he got it wrong?

No, with his current memory, such a low-level mistake could not have happened to him.

In this way, this charter is probably the famous hall made by the hacker applicant.

I really didn't expect him to be chartered by someone else one day, this experience is quite fresh.

"Well, maybe there is this possibility, in fact, we don't know what the boss's guests look like, it is said that it is to protect the privacy of the other party, and the monitoring system of the glass door is still set up by the boss himself." The chef sighed and finally made a decision:

"In that case, guest, please find a place to sit for a while, if you want to eat, I can serve it to you first, just wait for the boss to come, everything will be understood."

"I'm sorry for you." Lin Mo bowed his head slightly, and chuckled:

"By the way, can I ask, what does the boss you call look like?"

The cook lowered his head and pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "She is a big beauty, very beautiful, with a good figure, and white hair. ”

When Lin Mo heard this, his eyebrows raised, his body was suddenly stunned on the spot, the smile on his face gradually converged, and his expression was full of unexpected surprise and confusion.

"Guest, do you know her?" Seeing Lin Mo's expression, the chef asked tentatively.

"I should know..."Lin Mo's tone was quite complicated, and he didn't expect the chef to name these character traits at all.

Half a year has passed... Did they really keep coming here?

If it was really them, Lin Mo didn't know what attitude to face it.

All he knew was that there were countless thoughts in his mind that were now emerging, shattering, and his thoughts were in a mess.

Then, under the guidance of the chef, Lin Mo came to a window position, sat quietly on a chair and began to wait.

The chef also served him a juice drink, and while he snorted his straw, he looked out the window at the beach scenery, and suddenly seemed to have really come to the southern island, enjoying the rare southern scenery.

After a while, the glass door of the restaurant opened again, and the sound of the waves simulated by a special device in the restaurant seemed to be even more noisy as the glass door opened.

And the people who walked into the store this time were the only two visitors who were allowed to enter here.

Lin Mo opened his eyes and saw a familiar and slender figure, with a light smile on the corner of the visitor's mouth and a light white hair.

The two looked at each other for a long time, one was stunned and the other was happy.

"Long time no see..."The young man's tone was half emotional, half chanting, drowned in the sound of the waves in the store.

Sasha didn't speak, just took a deep breath and stared at him in the restaurant, as if he wanted to make up for half a year's share.

It's just that after staring at it for a long time, her eyes seem to gradually start to sour, so she blinked, and her pretty face finally changed slightly.

She began to bite her chin lightly, her eyes drooped slightly, her hair covered her eyes and left a trace of shadow, tears condensed in her eyes, she tried her best to endure this sour tears, but in the end she couldn't stop flowing down, and her mouth was slightly pursed, as if she was laughing, and as if she was wronged.

At last, she looked up at the man, and everything turned into a smile like a warm sun.

"yes, long time no see...", she whispered, her thoughts of the past mixed with these words, but the moment she said it was so calm, only the tears that fell were sad.
