through the dark road

It was just after noon, and Mo Bei, Taseris and Lin Zhaoxi sat down on the terrace of a local restaurant.

The view here is wide and you can see the calm Persian Gulf and the large and small ships coming and going. The scenery is pleasant.

The layout of the terrace dining area is also very unique. There are no chairs. The three of them sit on the thick and soft carpet around a wide low table. The table is decorated with silverware with Arabic characteristics, which is very exquisite.

There is an awning above the head, and the air outlets under the table and around it are slowly sending out cool breeze. Coupled with the nearby water mist fountain, it doesn't feel hot at all when sitting outside.

Lin Zhaoxi originally planned to stay in the car and wait after sending Mo Bei and the others there, but how could Mo Bei agree.

It was already dinner time. There was no reason to let a girl stay in the car and starve while eating and drinking by herself, so he pulled her in because she couldn't understand the menu.

Lin Zhaoxi was obviously restless. The per capita consumption was far more than her daily salary. She felt uneasy when her employer treated her to this meal. .

Mo Bei saw her concerns, and he admired this girl even more in his heart.

Nowadays, there are not many girls who know how to refuse and are unwilling to accept other people's kindness.

He opened his mouth and said:
"The jewelry exhibition will not open in two days, and we will stay here for a few days after that. Are you willing to continue to be our guide and translator? Oh, and also a part-time driver."

"Mmm...Of course!" Lin Zhaoxi agreed, but her expression was a little hesitant.

She doesn't live here every day. It should be a happy thing to be able to stay for so many days at once, but she usually only comes into contact with some ordinary tourists. If she follows Mo Bei, she will inevitably have to go in and out like today. I was really worried that I wouldn't be able to cope with the situation and would embarrass my employer as well.

Mo Bei continued:

"Our company has a budget for food and accommodation. Now you have signed a verbal labor contract with us, so there is no need to feel embarrassed."

"Ah? No, no, no, no, I have a place to stay! Just tell me what time to pick you up at the hotel, and I will be there on time." Lin Zhaoxi waved her hands quickly.

"Where do you live? Are you with your family?" Mo Bei felt something was wrong after asking, and added:

"I don't mean anything else. If you find it inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

Lin Zhaoxi shook her head lightly:
"No, I'm here alone, and now I'm living in Adaye."

"Alone? Going to school?" Mo Bei asked.

Lin Zhaoxi smiled and shook her head again:

"No, no one would study in such a place where money is spent like water, just want to make some money here."

Mo Bei nodded slightly and answered honestly.

"How's the income here?"

"Actually... average, and it costs a lot."

"Aren't you going to change places?"

"Well, when I save enough travel expenses, I will go and see other places..."

While the questions and answers were being asked, the meals were served one after another, basically all kinds of barbecue. Mo Bei wanted to try something new, so he ordered roasted camel meat, as well as camel humps and camel paws. It had a unique flavor, but to say How delicious it is, in fact, it’s just that.

The banshee refused to refuse anyone who came, and ate so much that she almost lay on the low table, her cheeks bulging from the food.

Lin Zhaoxi ate very cautiously, and this kind of meat didn't seem to suit her appetite. She only occasionally put her fork into vegetables, fruits and cheese.

Mo Bei felt a little strange. At first, this girl gave him a very cheerful and generous impression, but after getting along with him for a long time, he felt a sense of alienation. He thought it was because he had behaved inappropriately, so he stopped asking questions. .

However, after a while, Lin Zhaoxi took the initiative to make a request:
"Um, can my salary be settled on a daily basis? Either I can't trust you, or...it's almost the day to pay the rent."

"Oh, of course!"

Mo Bei sighed silently in his heart. It was not easy for a person to make a living in a foreign country.

He said that he would go to other places to see other places after he had saved up enough travel expenses. Now it seems that the situation is quite embarrassing, and he may not be able to save money at all.However, the other party obviously didn't want to reveal too much. It was reasonable for everyone to meet by chance.

Speaking of which, he himself is frantically swiping his credit card to spend. If he fails to open up the situation this time, he will be the one in trouble. .

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat.

In the afternoon, Lin Zhaoxi continued to drive Mo Bei and the banshee around the city, and did not return to the hotel where they were staying until evening.

Mo Bei once again suggested that Lin Zhaoxi rest in the hotel and he could just get another room to save him from traveling back and forth.

Lin Zhaoxi said that she couldn't sleep outside because she didn't want to be in bed, and her lack of energy the next day would delay things, so she insisted on driving away.

Mo Bei could only smile helplessly at this, understanding the difficulty.

The banshee couldn't understand what the two were talking about, and had little understanding of human relationships. She felt a little baffled, so she asked in the elevator:
"What's up with her?"

"She just wants to earn the remuneration she deserves, and is not willing to take advantage of extra advantages. When a person is out there, she must not only work hard to make money, but also keep a certain distance and vigilance from others, and protect herself as much as possible."

"Protect yourself?" the banshee was puzzled.

"In this kind of place where extravagance and extravagance is common, if you relax your principles and bottom lines at will, you will inevitably fall." Mo Bei said.

"That's not a bad thing... Ouch!! What are you doing!?"

Before the banshee finished speaking, she received a blast.

Mo Bei cast a sidelong glance at this guy speechlessly. It seemed that he still couldn't let up on his ideological education. . .

After returning to the room and ordering a meal, after eating, the master and the servant set off again and walked towards a less lively neighborhood.

When passing by here during the day, Lin Zhaoxi mentioned that there was a fight club here, but to put it bluntly, it was the Black Box Casino, which immediately aroused Mo Bei's curiosity.

It’s not like he came here to show off his skills. He would only make a little money if he won?Why bother to act like a monkey?

Anyway, I'm bored staying in the hotel, so why not come and see what the scene is like.

As a result, when I wanted to go in, I was stopped by four black men at the door who looked like wild boars. They were chattering a lot, as if they were asking for something, and they would not let me in.

What the fuck?

Mo Bei was a little speechless. There were restrictions on entering such a place. . .

However, if you don’t understand the language, you can’t even figure out what you need, which is a letdown.

Behind them came two more foreigners, a man and a woman. The man was wearing a casual suit, with a bald head and thin lips. The woman was obviously old, with a loose neck and sunken eyes, but both of them had good temperaments.

The bald man was attracted by the banshee at a glance. He couldn't hide his envy for Mo Bei to have such a female companion. The woman next to him just gave him an annoyed look when he saw this, making it difficult for people to understand each other. What is the relationship between.

Seeing that the two of Mo Bei were turned away, the bald man stretched out his hand and said in awkward Chinese:
"Are you Chinese?"

Mo Bei was quite surprised. He didn't expect to meet someone who could speak Chinese here. He shook hands with the person and said:
"Yes, hello."

With Lin Zhaoxi in front of him, he no longer cares what country the banshee looks like.

The man became more and more enthusiastic and continued to speak in broken Chinese:

"Me, Nick, do you want to go in together?"

Mo Bei actually had a premonition that the other party would say this, and he didn't want to go all the way in vain, so he thanked him and walked directly in without seeing the other party show anything to the four wild boar spirits. He seemed to be a regular visitor here, so he could just swipe his face. .

Entering the venue, he found that except for the dim light, it was a standard mixed martial arts venue. There were no seats around, the space was large, and there was a seat on the second floor with a better view.

It came at just the right time. In the Octagon, two boxers, one black and one white, were walking back and forth leisurely. There was no referee in sight, and it really looked different from a regular match. (End of chapter)
