Chapter 320 Senator

The sweet time passed quickly, and on the morning of the day after tomorrow, the two came to a small restaurant near the suburbs of Chicago to have breakfast as promised.

Outside the restaurant is a pedestrian street. Outside the old small bungalows, there are local residents walking their dogs in the morning, which is a bit like a western town.

Many of the walls of the houses still had election posters, which had already lost a lot of color due to the wind and rain, and many places were directly graffitied.

The lazy sunlight penetrates the glass windows and illuminates some places near the windows.

This kind of non-chain small restaurant has a strong American family atmosphere, but there are quite a few customers inside. There are a few people at each table, and there are about twenty or thirty customers, most of whom are middle-aged and elderly people.

A burly chef with a beard and two middle-aged Caucasian waitresses were busy inside, battered.

Mrs. Mu arrived early, invited the two to sit down, and ordered some breakfast such as bacon, sausage and eggs.

After chatting happily for a while, breakfast is almost finished, and many guests in the restaurant have already left.

Su Yingxue hesitated and asked: "Mrs. Mu, should you go to a meeting? I'll just find a coffee shop next to me and sit alone, don't worry about me."

Mrs. Mu pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry."

After speaking, Mrs. Mu stood up, stretched her neck, and scanned the dining room, as if waiting for something.

At this time, a young couple hurriedly left the restaurant after paying the bill at the cash register, as if they were going to work.

In the restaurant, a middle-aged waitress with a lot of freckles on her nose quickly trotted to the door, hung the "CLOSE" sign outside, and locked the door.

Another waiter lowered the curtains facing the street so that the outside could not see what was going on inside.

The dozen or so "customers" who were chatting or drinking coffee just now, men and women, also showed expressions of being overwhelmed. They got up one by one, walked towards Lin Fei and Su Yingxue, found a nearby chair and sat down, surrounded by the three of them. .

Su Yingxue was at a loss for a while, what was going on, why did this group of people suddenly look at her with strange eyes?
Before she could think about it, the waitress who went to close the door took off her apron, threw it casually, and said cursingly: "Damn it, Frank, next time you're looking for a restaurant for a meeting, don't look for this kind of business." Yes! I almost broke my hand while carrying the plate!"

The bearded chef chuckled and took off his chef's hat, "I think this place is pretty good. It's much more reliable than the barber shop last time. At least my cooking skills are better than your haircutting skills."

"That's because the customer's hair is so weird! My God, there are cockroaches in this restaurant!?" Winnie screamed as she looked at a small bug in the corner.

"No way, the owner hasn't been around for a while," Frank said.

"Stop talking nonsense, you see, Miss Su is already frightened." Mrs. Mu shook her head helplessly.

"What... what's going on here?" Su Yingxue looked at Lin Fei who was at the side.

Lin Fei didn't look surprised at all, he obviously knew the reason of all this long ago, shrugged, and said embarrassedly: "Let Mrs. Mu explain."

Mrs. Mu stretched out her hand happily, and took Su Yingxue's hand, "Miss Su, on behalf of the Council of the Hall, I formally welcome you as a member of us!"

"What!?" Su Yingxue was a little incoherent incomprehension, "I...not...this... didn't I fail?"

Mrs. Mu smiled, and the other seemingly ordinary "customers" also laughed.

Su Yingxue thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "Could it be that..."

Mrs. Mu said apologetically, "You have already thought about it... Yes, in fact, the real assessment of you is not the investment project, but the transfer contract. If you chose to give up Qingcheng International immediately and take over this company, then you It is really that we will refuse to join.

But fortunately, Ms. Su's choice is not different from what we expected. You really didn't abandon those who followed you, you didn't break your word, and you didn't waver because of money.Your quality makes us willing to trust."

Su Yingxue felt as if she fell from the clouds into the ground, and jumped from the ground into the air again, it was like riding a roller coaster, it was too exciting!
"Then... everyone here is a member of the Senate?!" Su Yingxue looked at the group of people dressed in different clothes, some wearing famous brands, some wearing supermarket goods, but they were all ordinary, and they would definitely not be seen on the street. Recognizing ordinary people of various skin colors with the slightest special look, they don't look like mysterious councilors in the lobby, let alone people from the underground world.

Mrs. Mu explained: "Miss Su may have misunderstood. The members of the Senate in our hall are not from the underground world. We are all the most ordinary people in the world. For example, if I don't tell you, you will think that I am Member of the Senate?"

Su Yingxue shook her head. She really didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. People who don't know the truth may think that the council members in the hall are composed of a group of super masters with terrifying strength in the underground world!

Mrs. Mu began to introduce this group of members who came to the meeting one by one, starting with the veteran members.

The "cook" Frank is a book publisher in North Carolina, and the two "waiters", Winnie and Keller, are respectively a professor of art at a university in Maryland, and an ordinary housewife in Ottawa, Canada.

Some other people have different occupations. The well-known ones include major shareholders of listed companies, famous social activists, and fashion designers.Ordinary ones include English teachers in elementary schools, gardeners in parks, staff in fisheries, and even cashiers in Wal-Mart supermarkets! ?
Su Yingxue felt that her head was in a mess. The most mysterious and powerful hall in the underground world, the most mysterious council members in the hall, turned out to be such a group of ordinary people who didn't even have any lethality! ?

"In detail, I will make it clear to Ms. Su in the future. Let's get to know each other today. Come on, I will give this to you. It is a token of the Senate."

Mrs. Mu gave Su Yingxue a pendant that looked like silver and some kind of alloy.

This pendant is a triangle with an eye inside. If you look carefully, you will find that the pendant is covered with dense and complex fine lines. After a long time, it seems that this eye can move.

Su Yingxue was a little dazed, and looked back at Lin Fei, "You knew I had already passed?"

Lin Fei spread his hands innocently, "I can't participate in the review process of the hall council, so I can't express any opinions until Mrs. Mu makes an announcement at the official meeting, so take it as a surprise."

"I hate it!" Su Yingxue wanted to laugh and cry, which was really a surprise, but then she wondered, "Is this the restaurant where the council is meeting?"

"Actually, we don't have a fixed meeting point." Frank's expression became a bit solemn at this time, "Every time we meet, the elder members will take turns to choose, it may be a factory, it may be a school, a restaurant, a coffee shop, These are very common... It’s not because it’s so secretive, but because of the rules of the council in our hall, which have been passed down for thousands of years.”

"Okay, I will take Ms. Su to find out more about the Senate later. Your Excellency Skelp wants to meet us this time to discuss the dereliction of duty by Director Victor. What do you think?" Mrs. Mu asked everyone.

The congressman who is an elementary school English teacher said: "Your Excellency Skelp didn't hand over the position of chief examiner to Victor at the beginning. He should have guarded against this day. Now that he has colluded with the mysterious Purgatory Legion and used our lobby to If the resources destroy human civilized society, then naturally it is no longer suitable to be the head of the hall."

"In my opinion, there is no objection to this matter. Several elders, let's vote directly," said a fishery employee.

Mrs. Mu waited for a few relatively older elders. Seeing that no one raised any objections, they took out their respective "triangular eye" pendants and hung them in front of each other.

Everyone gathered together with sacred faces, not at all embarrassed by the fact that this is a small dilapidated restaurant. The twelve elders were chanting words, and the words they spoke seemed to be an ancient poem.
