I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 175 Lively Night

"The advertisement is placed on a ghost bus. It seems to have some unknown and hidden supernatural power. It is quite interesting for today's young people."

"It's a pity that the old man doesn't have much life left. After that, he will only cause trouble to the younger generations."

In the shadow at the door of the old house, an old man looked through the woods, looking at the ghost bus gradually leaving in the driveway in the distance, then turned and walked back to the old house.

Zhou Deng, who was in the car, looked away with lingering fear, "Why do you feel that after coming out of the Peace Hotel, the ghost bus always goes to some dangerous places? The Chinese medicine shop, the scarecrow field, and this old house, they all feel like they are not human. A place to stay. Is there anything special about this advertisement?"

I touched the advertisement on the back of the seat. It was very silky and seemed a little out of place in the car, but it also had a strange sense of harmony.

"Forget it, this ghost bus is getting weirder and weirder. Just get off the bus sometime."

Originally, he wanted to find some treasures everywhere, but the horrors he encountered along the way made Zhou Deng also fearful. Just as the ghost bus re-entered reality from a supernatural place.

"Wait! Why is it this place again?"

In the old town of Zhongjiang City, at the bus stop outside the street where the Chinese medicine shop is located, the ghost bus slowly stopped, but this time the bus stop was no longer empty.

Meng Xiaodong got on the car and said to Zhou Deng who got out of the car: "Young man, have you gotten off the car?"

It was obviously a normal greeting, but it made Zhou Deng nervous because the rag doll in Meng Xiaodong's vegetable basket was also staring at him, which was weird and terrifying.

No, my hands are itchy again!

Zhou Dengshan responded with a smile, and then quickly got out of the car. After getting off the car, he did not dare to walk into the old streets, and turned towards the bustling new city.

Meng Xiaodong smiled and found a place to sit down near the driver's seat.

The door closed, and the ghost bus entered the supernatural land from reality again. Meng Xiaodong touched the advertising sticker on the back of the seat in front of him, "The supernatural that attracts ghosts? No, no, it doesn't look like attracting ghosts, it should be the supernatural that attracts the attention of evil ghosts. ? It should be done casually, otherwise the power of the 'store manager' would not be so weak. I just don't know how strong the 'store manager' will be after the recovery."

Next stop, Peace Hotel.

Meng Xiaodong got out of the car, looked at Lin Yuan who was standing at the door expectantly, and said with a smile: "Boss, I am the only one in the car, there is no one else."

"Hey, okay. Tong Qian, He Yuelian, you can get off work. You can go home."

It was already late. If there were customers on this bus, they would have to work for a while, but now that there is no one, they can't be left in the store.

It was impossible to take care of the food, but Lin Yuan still confessed, "Call He Yin'er tomorrow. I will pay you your wages then and talk about becoming a full-time employee."

Has it been a month already?

Tong Qian glanced at He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing, "Boss, what do I need to do to become a regular employee, and will my salary increase?"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said: "Of course, there are tasks for becoming a regular person. You will know when you come tomorrow. As for the salary, it will definitely increase. It is a basic salary plus commission model. We will talk about the specific situation when you come tomorrow. .”

Lin Yuan hasn't thought about these things clearly yet, but he already has a general framework.

In a word:

If there is no wild wool to harvest, then harvest your own!

In the days after the hotel officially opened, Lin Yuan also had such a plan, asking Tong Qian, He Yin'er, Liu Qingqing, and He Yuelian to find friends for dinner, and also gave them some discounts, but the effect was not very good at that time.

After learning from the pain, Lin Yuan thought about it carefully and roughly understood the reason:

Not driven by profit!

If you push yourself to others and ask others to help with things, but the discounts given are negligible, no one will be motivated, and the same is true for Lin Yuan himself.

Now we are taking advantage of the opportunity to become a full-time employee to set up some systems and give Tong Qian and the others some appropriate counter-benefits. I believe it will make them more interested.

Lin Yuan spoke so vaguely. Although Tong Qian was very curious, she had no choice but to wait until tomorrow, and this matter needed to be reported to the headquarters.

After Tong Qian and He Yuelian left, Lin Yuan did not go to rest immediately, but called: "Lao Fan, Lao Li, Xiao Xi, Xiao An, you all get ready and go out later."

The ghost security guard quietly appeared next to Lin Yuan, and Li Qingzhi also walked out of the kitchen, holding an old hatchet stained with blood in his hand.

The twins walked out of the utility room, looked at Gui Cha and Li Qingzhi fearfully, and stood on the other side of Lin Yuan.

After waiting for a while, Liu Qingqing became anxious, "Brother Yuan, have you forgotten me?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "I didn't forget. This time I went out to do some physical work. You, a girl, just stay at home and look after the house. Let me know if anything happens."

Physical work?

Girls looking after the house?

The twins looked at each other, and suddenly there was a surge of sourness and grievance in their hearts: "We are girls too!"

But Lin Yuan's will could not be transferred, and the twins could only follow Lin Yuan. Liu Qingqing could only watch aggrievedly in the store as Lin Yuan left with a security guard and three gorillas.

They walked into the white mist and soon lost their sight completely.

"Really, I can also do manual labor. Why doesn't Brother Yuan let me go? Look at the store? Is there anything interesting in the store? Does anyone dare to steal anything?"

"As for stealing, if the store manager wasn't around, someone might actually have the guts to do it."

Liu Qingqing raised her head and looked at Meng Xiaodong who was standing at the stairs on the second floor, "Mother Meng, you haven't gone to rest yet. Do you want to have dinner? Can I help you make it now?"

"No, I've eaten."

Meng Xiaodong smiled, turned around and disappeared from sight, but the meaningful look he left behind when he left made Liu Qingqing very confused.

"What a strange old woman."

Liu Qingqing muttered, and was about to sit at the cashier and wait for Lin Yuan to come back. But before she took two steps, the red high heels under her feet suddenly became extremely bright.

Bright colors began to surge, as if blood was about to drip.

Liu Qingqing's consciousness gradually blurred, and then she became numb and strange. She walked towards the door of the store, but her body and feet were completely uncoordinated, as if her body was being moved by the shoes.

It was like a rope pulling a balloon, but it was understandable that Liu Qingqing's body was only a piece of skin, with no internal organs inside, only the white mist that kept her alive.

She walked to the door with red high heels. The door was open, but she couldn't get out.

The house number 707 has played an effective role in complementing some of the supernatural properties of the Peace Hotel. Even the red high heels that can walk out of the ghost realm cannot walk out of the Peace Hotel without permission.

The steps of the red high-heeled shoes became more and more urgent, leaving half a footprint with each step. There was a surge in the footprints, as if something was trying to crawl out, but eventually everything returned to calm.

At the stairway on the second floor, Meng Xiaodong appeared there again at some point, staring at the movement at the door on the first floor with an indifferent expression.

……

Dajing City Ghost Controller Headquarters.

Because of the off-duty hours of the Peace Hotel, Cao Yanhua would organize a small meeting every night at this time. Not many people attended the meeting, only Wang Xiaoming and the people in charge related to the Peace Hotel.

At this time, everyone has arrived.

Cao Yanhua, Wang Xiaoming, Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, Wei Jing, and Cao Yang returned to Dajin City to deal with the supernatural incident and are not here for the time being.

As time passed, Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen and Wei Jing suddenly looked into the sky. A thick white mist appeared out of thin air, and a vague bluestone path gradually turned from illusion to reality.

This is a supernatural invasion outside the Peace Hotel.

The figures of Tong Qian and He Yuelian appeared at the end of the white mist bluestone path, but they quickly walked out and returned to reality completely from the supernatural place.

Everyone has seen it many times, and even the three ghost masters Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen and Wei Jing have experienced it several times personally, so naturally they will not be surprised.

"Everyone is here, let's go into the conference room."

Wang Xiaoming said, taking the lead into the small room made of gold next to it. Cao Yanhua and a group of people in charge also followed in, in order to prevent supernatural forces from eavesdropping.

The news about the Peace Hotel has become a top secret in the headquarters. Anyone who is below a certain level and wants to be transferred will be traced to the end.

If it weren't for the fact that gold can isolate supernatural powers, including those at the Peace Hotel, they would have waited for them in the golden safe house.

He Yuelian had a look of resistance on her face, obviously not wanting to participate.

Cao Yanhua did not force anyone to take He Yuelian to rest.

If possible, he didn't want such an ordinary person to know too much. Tong Qian didn't say much when she saw it, "A lot of things happened at the Peace Hotel today. I'll tell you one by one." Zhang Xianguang gave stationery……

The Peace Hotel advertisement on the ghost bus...

Chef's regularization and assessment plan...

Ghost thief Zhou Deng...

Everything was recorded by Lu Zhiwen. Wang Xiaoming listened carefully. After Tong Qian finished telling what happened at the Peace Hotel today, he said:

"He Yin'er has provided some information before, about the ghost post office. Zhang Xianguang is a member of the ghost post office. The letter he gave you should be a token of joining the ghost post office. This is a functional supernatural place. There are definitely great dangers inside, but there are also certain opportunities. You can choose to refuse, hand the letter paper to others, and let others go in to check the information of the ghost post office. By the way, the real address of the ghost post office is in Dahan City , Sun Rui, the person in charge of Dahan City, has been guarding there, but because there is not a strong enough ghost domain, he has been unable to invade. There have not been many supernatural incidents in Dahan City, and the pressure is almost non-existent, so I suggest this Leave it to Sun Rui to handle it. Tong Qian, your value lies in your connection with the Peace Hotel, and you are not suitable for rashly entering an unknown supernatural place."

Like Li Jun, Tong Qian absolutely obeys the orders of the headquarters and will not hide any supernatural events she experiences, including everything that happened in Dahan City.

Tong Qian has long been used to Wang Xiaoming judging a person by his value.

Although I feel a little uncomfortable, I don't express it, especially when working:

"A ghost post office? Sun Rui and Liu Qingqing and I did see it last time. It's a pity that the white mist that Liu Qingqing controls is not very magical and can't really invade it. I have no objection to letting Sun Rui handle the ghost post office incident, but the ghost The post office is not as simple as imagined. Zhang Xianguang is a gorilla in the eyes of the 'store manager', or at least a powerful alien. Moreover, there are other ghosts and rules in the ghost post office. Sun Rui is afraid that he is unable to handle it alone. Others assist.”

Wei Jing said: "I'll go. Although I'm not an alien, the two ghosts I control have already died. You don't have to worry about the ghosts reviving in a short period of time. The power I can exert is very strong."

Li Jun was a little moved, but he was responsible for Wang Xiaoming's safety, so he could only endure it.

"The candidates for the ghost post office need to be carefully selected, and there is no supernatural happening at the ghost post office for the time being, so don't be too anxious. The Peace Hotel is more urgent. We already have some information about the ghost bus, but we don't know much about it. There are many, especially because the places where ghost buses appear are too random. In a short time, they may travel hundreds of kilometers, or even go abroad. We need a positioning method. The next time the ghost buses arrive at the Peace Hotel, Put this satellite phone up there so that we can locate it more easily."

Cao Yanhua took out a satellite phone and Tong Qian took it, "Okay, I understand."

Wang Xiaoming said: "The 'store manager' is no longer satisfied with passively accepting customers. He has taken the initiative to advertise on the ghost buses, which may attract some serious ghosts or even ordinary people to enter. You should pay more attention then. Tong Qian, what do you think? It’s okay to help others, but based on your own safety, your value is far more important than ordinary people, do you understand?”

Obviously he understands Tong Qian's "Holy Mother" character, and is worried that when ordinary people who accidentally enter the Peace Hotel are in danger, Tong Qian will rescue them regardless of safety.

Tong Qian smiled and nodded, but everyone could see that she didn't take Wang Xiaoming's words to heart.

Wang Xiaoming didn't say any more. He had other ways to ensure Tong Qian's safety. Although it was not 100%, it was still useful.

"The advertisements taken out by the 'store manager' should have certain supernatural powers. If you have a chance, take one back."

"it is good."

"As for your regular assessment tomorrow, according to the 'store manager', it may also be related to attracting customers. This is a list of some responsible persons selected by the headquarters. If you need performance, they can become the customers you recruit."

Wang Xiaoming took out a list with ten names on it, some of which Tong Qian had heard of, and some of which Tong Qian had not heard of, but they had become a resource in Tong Qian's hands.

Tong Qian put the list away, "I understand. We still need to inform He Yin'er about this matter. No one answered my call to her just now, but it will be her turn to be on duty tomorrow. Neither Liu Qingqing nor I received her call." Apply for a shift change, and you should be able to see her in the store.”

Speaking of Liu Qingqing, Cao Yanhua frowned, "Why didn't Liu Qingqing come back with you?"

Tong Qian was silent for a while and then said helplessly: "Liu Qingqing chose to live in the hotel permanently, and she did not receive a salary, but food and accommodation were included. And I always felt that she was more interested in the Peace Hotel... no, she should be more interested in the 'store manager' rely."

rely?

Wang Xiaoming frowned and said, "What about you? You have also been to the Peace Hotel and stayed for different lengths of time. Do you have any extra feelings from this?"

Extra feeling?

Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen and Wei Jing looked at each other and shook their heads.

Tong Qian also thought carefully for a while and said helplessly: "There is no strange feeling, but the Peace Hotel is very comfortable. With the protection of the 'store manager', it seems that there is no need to worry about any supernatural events. Being by his side makes people feel at ease." ."

When she said this, an unconscious smile flashed across Tong Qian's face.

Li Jun couldn't help but said: "There is something wrong with the White Mist Ghost Realm of the Peace Hotel. It makes people unconsciously have a good impression of the 'store manager', and even depend on them. Liu Qingqing is the only one who stays overnight at the Peace Hotel, and her life is also Being maintained by the white mist supernatural beings, it has obviously been deeply eroded. We and Tong Qian are a little lighter, but they must have been affected to a certain extent."

Wei Jing also said sternly: "Li Jun is right. The most important thing is that we ourselves may not be aware of this strangeness. After all, in my opinion, the 'store manager' helped me put the two ghosts into a state of panic. It’s normal for me to be grateful to Him.”

Cao Yanhua's expression changed, "It seems that you can't have too deep contact with the 'store manager', otherwise the headquarters will become his 'own' before long."

Wang Xiaoming shook his head, "Don't worry too much, this influence is not deep. Tong Qian has been at the Peace Hotel for a month, but there has not been much change, and has she noticed anything strange? The supernatural influence of the Peace Hotel is very shallow. But it will become a big problem over time. I will think about how to solve this problem, but I can’t stop eating because of choking, that would be too stupid. What do you think, Tong Qian? "

Tong Qian had been silent when this topic started. It was only now that she was asked, and she said: "I obey the arrangements of the headquarters."

The next topic is more relaxed.

The main purpose is to record Zhou Deng's situation, and there will be corresponding arrangements to contact Zhou Deng in the future, provided that Zhou Deng's whereabouts can be found.

However, Zhou Deng boarded a ghost bus. Without being able to grasp the location of the ghost bus, the matter could only be kept on the sidelines.

After the meeting, the participants went to rest.

At this time, there are still supernatural events happening all over the country, and the command center at the headquarters has been busy, but as long as it is not a large-scale supernatural event, Zhao Jianguo is enough.

It was also at this time that news suddenly came from ZS City: "The 'store manager' appeared at the Caesar Hotel. The entire Caesar Hotel has been shrouded in a white fog ghostland, and it is impossible to see anything clearly."

After Zhao Jianguo got the news, he immediately reported it. Cao Yanhua immediately rushed to the command center. Looking at the situation of the Caesar Hotel projected by satellite on the big screen, he muttered: "The 'store manager' went to take over the Caesar Hotel. There should be no large-scale incidents." There are supernatural events, but we need to stay vigilant. It happens that Shen Liang, Zhong Shan, and Guo Fan are still in ZS City, so let them be on standby nearby and be ready to go out at any time."

"Yes, Deputy Minister!"

The tone was set, and everyone felt relieved a little.

But Wang Xiaoming, Li Jun, Wei Jing, Tong Qian and others had to work overtime, and Cao Yang, who had returned to Dajin City, was also notified.

A few days ago, a supernatural event named the Human Head Balloon occurred in ZS City.

At that time, Tong Qian, Yang Jian, Guo Fan and others went deep into the Caesar Hotel. Although they experienced a series of incidents and the human head balloon incident disappeared, it was not solved, but rather inexplicable.

The current common understanding is that the Caesar Hotel is restricted by the "store manager", so the source of supernatural events extending from the Caesar Hotel has been cut off.

After that day, a 500-meter radius of the Caesar Hotel was isolated, and all the residents were moved away, leaving only empty buildings.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something, but this time the white mist shrouded the area exactly 500 meters around the Caesar Hotel. It reached the official cordon line, not one cent more or less.

Supernatural events, any coincidence?

In the temporary headquarters, looking at the white ghost domain covering a large area, Shen Liang said thoughtfully: "Guo Fan, do you want to meet the 'store manager' again?"

As the captain of the headquarters, Shen Liang originally did not know the news about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager".

It was not until this time when he went to the Caesar Hotel for rescue that this part of the information was opened to him, and it greatly aroused his interest.

If you can establish contact with the "store manager", your status in the headquarters will definitely improve.

Guo Fan was a little moved, but he still shook his head with a wry smile, "Captain Shen, the 'store manager' is indeed safe as long as the rules are not violated, but it may still be dangerous if you contact him rashly."

Shen Liang shook his head in disappointment, "What can you do in this world now that is not dangerous? If you want to truly survive, you need the courage to move forward, rather than being timid and hesitant. Of course, I can understand your unwillingness to take risks. You see Is there any chance you can introduce me to the 'store manager'?"

what?

Guo Fan was stunned and quickly advised: "Captain Shen, this is very dangerous."

Zhong Shan also urged anxiously: "Yes, Captain Shen. You see, Captain Zhao has never been involved in supernatural events. Isn't it just for strategizing?"

Shen Liang said solemnly: "I know you are worried, and I am also afraid that something will be in danger. But if I only know how to hide in the headquarters and stay with a group of operators, and let you people in charge work on the front line, how can I feel at ease? ?”

Guo Fan and Zhong Shan were so moved that even some nearby staff couldn't help but cast admiring glances at them.

only……

We are still in contact with the headquarters. Is it really appropriate for you to almost point at Zhao Jianguo and scold him?

At the Dajing City Headquarters, Zhao Jianguo's face turned black.

If Shen Liang were in front of him now, he would probably go up and have some friendly physical communication.

Tong Qian pursed her lips to hold back a smile. Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen and Wei Jing showed no expressions, and even the linemen made no moves.

But Zhao Jianguo always felt that these people seemed to be peeking at him, with contempt in their eyes.

"Shen Liang!!!"

This was not over yet. Shen Liang even sent the request report directly to the headquarters. Cao Yanhua glanced at Zhao Jianguo and only replied, "Be safe."
