Westbrook, Silk Road West, Black Hole Restaurant, 20:15.
This is the top floor of a commercial building. In addition to the safety passage stairs that are not open on weekdays, there is only one elevator that can enter the restaurant.
Such top-notch restaurants will never worry about their customers because they don't serve ordinary people hanging out.
Even top fringe people with millions of dollars (who make a living by selling paintings) are not within the scope of their services, and even those rough people may not even be able to find the door, let alone enter and buy food here.
No outside guests will be welcome here without an invitation or advance reservation.
Even when you enter the elevator and want to press the floor button of this restaurant, you must go through a special recognition system before the elevator can go up to the top floor.
Holding the boy's hand, Gloria walked into this floor.
After coming out of the elevator, there is a long corridor. The floor is covered with bright red plush carpets. The walls on both sides of the corridor are hung with precious and artistic oil paintings. There are small booths at regular intervals. There are small booths inside the glass covers.
Beautiful artwork.
There are chandeliers in imitation of classical style hanging from the ceiling, with lamp tubes shaped like candles, and candlelight created using holographic projection technology. When you look up, you will see a scene of flowing fire in the Brahma sky.
This luxurious decoration makes people suspect that this place is more like an art gallery than a restaurant.
At the end of the corridor, there is a "glass door" made of crystal. The colored crystal reflects the light of the corridor, and a scene like the lake reflecting the moon flows on it.
Two impeccably dressed waiters stood next to the door. They both stood straight and looked directly at each other. They were not at all as rude as the security guards and thugs at ordinary high-end clubs and bars outside.
Lin Mo held Gloria's hand and strolled down the corridor with an elegant but arrogant posture. Gloria followed behind, holding her hand with one hand and nervously holding up the hem of her skirt with the other.
Rather than coming here to dine, it is better to say that the royal family came to the Royal Museum to enjoy an art exhibition.
When they came to the end of the glass door, the two waiters bowed in unison, and then maintained this state and respectfully opened the crystal door to welcome Lin Mo and Gloria.
They didn't ask about Lin Mo's identity, they kept everything in silence. The VIPs who came here every night would be remembered in their minds, and there was no way they could remember it wrong.
Especially tonight, they are even less likely to remember it wrong.
Because there will be one and only one guest tonight, a Mr. Lin!
He has reserved the venue!
The crystal door opened under the pull of the waiter, just like the deep sea dragon palace in myths and legends, full of coveted treasures.
But there is no sunlight in the deep sea. The sunlight shines on the shallow sea surface but cannot penetrate deep into the bottom of the sea. Therefore, the deep sea is often a dark abyss.
The same goes for black holes.
The same goes for the inside of the restaurant. When Gloria crossed the threshold with doubts and the waiters closed the crystal door, and the light source in the corridor was blocked by the crystal door, she finally realized why this place was called the Black Hole Restaurant.
It was so dark that he couldn't even see the child holding his hand who was walking in front of him.
In the extreme darkness, vision was completely useless at this time, and the only sound in my ears was the crisp sound of my high heels stepping on the smooth floor, like a silver bottle being broken.
Apart from hearing, the only thing Gloria could feel was probably the touch on her hands, and she was holding the boy's hand.
"Do you think it's too dark?" the young man suddenly asked.
Since the two met until now, the boy has been taking the initiative. During this period, Gloria wanted to find out the majesty of being an "adult" countless times, but under Lin Mo's elegant actions and leadership, she became more like that
Cinderella walked into the royal hall in confusion. If it were not for the prince's guidance, no one would notice her.
There was obviously a lot to say, but when the words came to her lips, Gloria could only say this:
"Yes...a little bit."
"Then look forward to the last light of the black hole!" Lin Mo chuckled and snapped his fingers.
Then a circulating halo of light appeared in the darkness, spreading in every corner of the restaurant, like a black hole in the universe, with endless darkness in the center, and the attracted light and stars outside the circle.
Circle after circle of flowing light circles appeared inside the restaurant, some were holographic projections, some were images, all rippled like water.
The restaurant transformed from invisible darkness into the universe, surrounded by terrifying black hole celestial bodies. The afterglow of the black hole illuminated the restaurant, and they seemed to be dining in the depths of the universe.
Gloria couldn't help but be shocked by this creation-like scene. It was like someone who had never been exposed to a 3D movie and was frightened by the beast rushing out when watching a 3D movie for the first time.
So the initiative returned to Lin Mo's hands again. He took Gloria to the restaurant, and finally the two of them sat down near the window.
The glass of the window also uses professional projection materials, which are rendered by the universe layer at this time, and the street view outside cannot be seen.
"Mr. Lin, will tonight's meal be served according to the reserved menu?"
A waitress wearing tight-fitting fluorescent clothes came over and spoke in a gentle and pleasant tone.
Gloria was startled again by the sudden voice, and turned her head to see the disguised waiter.
The tight-fitting fluorescent suit on the other party perfectly blended with the surrounding projection environment, and even his head was hidden in the hood.
The uniform uses a black universe as the background color, dotted with stars and various celestial bodies, and the other person walks quietly, like stars and celestial bodies moving in the universe.
"Just come as scheduled, but you should also ask the lady in front of you."
Lin Mo smiled and stretched out his hand, fingers together, facing Gloria opposite.
Seeing the moving "celestial body" heading toward her, Gloria quickly waved her hand and said:
"I can just eat whatever I want, there's no need to spend so much money!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The waiter smiled indifferently. Although no one could see the smile under the hood, the voice that came out was obviously a bit joyful.
"Madam, please rest assured that the restaurant tonight has been reserved by Mr. Lin. No matter what you want to eat, we will do our best to meet your needs. As for the so-called expense, it naturally does not exist. Mr. Lin has paid it all in one lump sum
After all the fees, no matter what you want, the price is the same.”
Gloria was extremely shocked and remained silent for a while before replying calmly:
"It's better to serve the food as he said."
However, the waiter didn't seem to have any intention of bypassing her. She was "hardened in battle" and seemed to have already seen through who was the master between the two distinguished guests tonight.
So she didn't see any movements, and a series of blurry and dreamy words were projected in front of Gloria, and the words floated in the air like a divine revelation.
"This is tonight's menu. Please look through it as you like. The 'universe' tonight is so dark. It is your arrival that illuminates the starry sky. Black holes can absorb the light of all things, but they cannot absorb your dazzling beauty."
, Mr. Lin’s kindness, if the guest cruelly rejects it, then even the stars will shed tears.”

The waiter continued in her sweet voice.
...Damn it, this guy is so eloquent.
Lin Mo looked at the waiter in astonishment, watching her patiently continue to explain various dishes to 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 man for so many years. He knows everything about the top service places in Night City, at least he knows about them.
The simulated deeds have already written that if we choose to get together at Yujin Restaurant tonight, we will definitely run into some trouble.
He was not afraid of trouble, but he also didn't want to actively cause trouble, so he naturally had to choose another restaurant as the meeting place.
Now it seems that this black hole restaurant seems to be quite good. All the waiters are talented and speak well.
Seeing how sensible the waiter was, Lin Mo also smiled lightly, his eyes slightly lit up with blue light, and transferred a small tip to the waiter.
The waiter paused for a moment, and when she saw a sum of money being inexplicably entered into her account, her mind began to spin rapidly, and she understood the meaning behind it in an instant.
So her attitude became even more attentive, looking at Gloria as if she were looking at a money tree, and her words and conversation were so enthusiastic that even Gloria felt she couldn't stand it.
Compared with the restaurant where his son David invited me to go before, this 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, and then the waiter bowed respectfully and replied politely:
"Okay, please wait a moment and enjoy the beauty of the quiet black hole."
After the waiter left, Gloria breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the young man sitting opposite.
Lin Mo was still smiling, sitting upright, his eyes wandering on the astral projection in the restaurant, and did not focus on Gloria.
"Lin...you shouldn't spend so much money on me."
After pondering for a long time, Gloria managed to hold back these words.
Even for Lin Mo's title, she didn't know what to say for a while. She had prepared countless drafts in advance before coming.
But now, after meeting the young man face to face, these manuscripts seemed to have been burned into ashes, and disappeared after being typed up, leaving a blank in my mind.
Mr. Lin? Lin Mo? Or Classmate Lin? Or the child?
After thinking 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 he leaned on the chair. He put one hand on the armrest of the chair, rested his chin on his palm and looked at Gloria.
"It's still some time before the food is served. Let's talk about these daily chores and chatter while eating. 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 understood what Lin Mo was talking about. She could come here tonight because her son David had blown her ears off, saying that there was an excellent job waiting for her, and that the person she had met once met
Classmate Lin wants to hire Mom for a promising job...
Thinking of this, she also took out the card from her bag, put it on the table, and said hesitantly:
"Is everything written on this card you asked David to give me true?"
"I am also David's friend after all. If I don't keep my words, I won't be friends with David. Auntie, do you think I will tell lies?" Lin Mo said calmly.
"It's not that..." Gloria bit her lower lip subconsciously, showing confusion on her face.
Once upon a time, even when facing the principal of Arasaka Academy, she could talk to him without being arrogant or condescending for her son.
And so that David could study at Arasaka Academy, she also started a business selling second-hand prosthetics.
Gloria, who usually engages in this kind of business, does not lack courage and courage.
But under Lin Mo's repeated financial attacks and the shock of seeing such a luxurious place for the first time, she became a little overwhelmed.
"If you are willing to join the company, I guarantee that the benefits on the card will be honored one by one, and you will be given more preferential treatment."
Lin Mo said in a mellow tone with a hint of bewitchment.
Gloria's throat moved slightly. If what the boy said was true, then for her, this was an irresistible temptation.
This is simply nectar brewed by the devil. She knew that this matter would not be that simple, but she, the bee, couldn't help but get closer. Now that she is here, isn't it just because of her heartbeat?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What is the work content? I need to think about it." Gloria tried to take back some initiative and looked at Lin Mo seriously.
Lin Mo smiled, folded his hands and placed them on the table. He did not immediately answer his wife's question. Instead, his mind recalled a past joke in Blue Star.
So, taking this opportunity, he replied with a smile:
"Auntie, you don't want your son to be bullied in the studio either."
Gloria's eyes widened and she looked at the boy opposite her in disbelief, as if she was getting to know him all over again.
After she came to her reaction, she said in a slightly cold tone:
"David's recent injury was caused by you?"
"No, this is just necessary training before joining the job, and I didn't treat him badly. During the training period, his salary will be paid as usual, and it will not affect his study in the class. Can Madam find better treatment than this?"
Lin Mo looked calm, and he had a clear conscience about what happened to David.
Gloria was silent because what Lin Mo said was indeed good.
"But he is also your friend. As for being so seriously injured every time? And what is the job content? Can the garbage disposal get such wounds from beatings?" She couldn't help but ask.
"According to the confidentiality agreement, I can't tell you the truth before you sign the contract. If you really care about David, you might as well try to get a job. Although the studio is not as good as big companies like Arasaka, it is close at hand.
opportunity."
"Instead of pursuing an unpredictable future, it is better to seize the present. Besides, do you think David can really succeed in Arasaka Company in the future? Competition within a large company, Auntie, don't be blinded by a false future because of your expectations.
My eyes are closed..."
Seeing that Gloria was silent, Lin Mo stared at Gloria's face with a smile and said with regret:
"Aunt, David 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 be miserable, and he will not recommend you to join the job.
, if you don’t believe me, don’t you still believe in your own son?”
For a mother who cares about her son and is dependent on her son, Lin Mo also has his own way of persuading him.
Many words are not effective against a self-reliant woman like Gloria.
Moreover, the two of them had never interacted with each other before, so it was not easy to convince each other in one go.
But it doesn't matter, the best way is to start from David's side, and his words of persuasion are also based on David.
After a long silence, Gloria finally couldn't bear it any longer, sighed silently, and agreed to Lin Mo's invitation.
Perhaps her inner defenses had been completely shattered long ago under the force of tonight's battle.
First, she asked her son to often brag about the introduction in her ear. After the two parties met, they shocked each other with a big scene so that they could not act like an elder.
Finally, her son was used as bait to persuade him to join the gang.
Lin Mo smiled triumphantly and stretched out his hand politely, as if he had negotiated a big deal happily. The lady opposite was stunned for a while, and then she also stretched out her hand to shake his hand.
"Then, I wish us happy cooperation in the future."
