I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 346 The deadline is approaching
It is customary for hotels to provide three meals a day for their staff, and this is also the case at the Peace Hotel.

However, the Peace Hotel emphasizes voluntary participation. Meals are prepared every day, so you can go home to eat if you want.

Of course, not at noon.

The Peace Hotel's guest reception hours are quite casual; sometimes people come to eat in the afternoon, so we can't leave without someone.

For this reason, lunch is also the meal with the most people in the Peace Hotel in a day.

The store manager Lin Yuan sat in the main seat. The first person sitting on his right was Liu Qingqing, who had just taken a nap for the whole morning and was now yawning.

Then there are the lobby manager He Yuelian, the fish pond manager He Yiner, the cook Tong Qian, the waiter the King twins, the handyman Fang Shiming, the security guard Lao Fan, the ghost messenger, and the driver Guo Fan.

The robot Xianglan also had lunch here.

The watchdog·Knocking Ghost·Lao Hei and the watchdog·Starving Ghost·Lao Hua did not come in, but Lin Yuan went to the door and prepared some meat bones for them.

Tong Qian prepared the lunch.

Ten people, twelve dishes and two soups, a very sumptuous meal.

A few people ate and chatted at the same time. Of course, the topic still revolved around the store manager Lin Yuan. What Lin Yuan was most concerned about now was the affairs of Taiping Ancient Town.

Lin Yuan went to Taiping Ancient Town for the first time two months ago. At that time, he reached a robot and paper man sales agreement with the robot shop and paper-making shop in Taiping Ancient Town.

Later, the paper-making shop also sent some paper figures to the Caesar Hotel to assist Li Qingzhi in management.

Even though the ancient town of Taiping was flooded by the Ghost Lake, this kind of cooperation has continued, except that the frequency of the paper-making shop sending paper figures has decreased a lot.

In more than two months, it was only sent twice, and each time there were only three or four paper figures.

Since the paper-making shop was not flooded to the point where it could not operate, what about other shops?

"The bank in your town has been abandoned for so many years. Has anyone gone in to check it out? Are there any tools left behind?"

If possible, Lin Yuan still wants to make use of the ghost money.

He always trades with animals, and even though he seldom handles it himself now, it still looks very troublesome.

And people always have to plan ahead.

He Yiner knew what Lin Yuan was thinking as soon as she heard it. Of course, Lin Yuan did not hide it. She thought for a moment and said, "I need to go back and ask my grandfather."

"Old He? Okay, then go back and ask him."

He Liansheng is an old man from Taiping Ancient Town. He should know more than the young He Yiner. However, Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something. "I think there seems to be something wrong with Old He's health. Remember to take him to the hospital when you have time. Of course, he should find a better doctor in his current condition. After all, he has also undergone biotechnology surgery."

When mentioning this biotechnology surgery, Lin Yuan felt deeply moved.

Since traveling through time, he has gradually realized the terrifying nature of this world's technology. Both in terms of biology and intelligent machinery, they have developed to a very advanced level.

However, it is probably precisely because of this that humans have been able to survive during this period of rampage, even though the rampage of this era is closely related to humans themselves.

However, he always thought that biotechnology was a breakthrough that only occurred in recent years.

But when he saw He Liansheng and the older generation such as Mr. Qin, he realized that he was still too young. These biotechnologies had been accumulated for decades, and successful works had been produced decades ago.

But unfortunately, even the most successful biotech surgery cannot give people immortality.

He Yiner understood the meaning of Lin Yuan's words and asked nervously, "Brother Yuan, have you figured out something?"

Lin Yuan is not a doctor, so how can he tell what's wrong with someone's body at a glance? It was just that when He Yiner mentioned He Liansheng just now, he suddenly had a hunch in his heart and said it subconsciously.

However, no one would believe such words. Instead, people would think that you are cursing the other person's grandfather, which is obviously inappropriate.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to fool around, he suddenly felt something and asked "Golden Finger": "Old Jin, is there anything wrong with He Liansheng's health? Even if it's just a minor cold, I can have an explanation."

As expected, the "Golden Finger" quickly gave the answer: [He Liansheng underwent a biotechnology surgery forty years ago and survived death, but forty years is the limit of his body, and the deadline is in the next few days.]

"What? Biotechnology surgery can allow people to live forty years longer?" Lin Yuan was stunned.

He had seen some people who had performed biotechnology surgeries, such as Li Qingzhi, Fang Shiming, Liu San, Zhang Xianguang and others, all of whom had performed this surgery.

There are also some people who are absolutely unwilling to undergo this operation. A representative example is that annoying naughty kid, Xiong Wenwen, who wants to recognize him as his stepfather.

Because of this, Lin Yuan has always had a bad impression of biotechnology surgery.

After all, in order to survive, even the human race has been given up. This is inappropriate no matter how you look at it. It gives people a feeling of being ungrateful, and it may not necessarily extend lifespan.

Otherwise, how could a big CEO like Fang Shiming, who has businesses all over the country, be willing to stay in his small restaurant and work as a handyman after taking back power?
Pursuing true love?

It's just talk. Lin Yuan never thought that these bosses were really like in novels, who could give up their careers for so-called love, and this kind of love between three men is difficult for the world to accept.

But now, the "Golden Finger" has authenticated the life authority of the biotech surgery. How could Lin Yuan not be shocked?
"He Liansheng's surgery extended his life by forty years. Is this an isolated case, or a common phenomenon?" Lin Yuan's breathing became rapid.

Although he is still young, he doesn't have to worry about not living long.

But precisely because he is still young, by the time he needs this operation it will be decades later. Then, to what extent will biological technology develop in these decades? Will it be able to maintain human life and prolong lifespan?
If I could…

[Biotech surgery itself is not a common surgery and will be adjusted according to each person's physical condition. He Liansheng's life span is not the longest among successful surgery cases, but it is not the shortest either.]

Is that so?
Lin Yuan's heart gradually calmed down, but he was still full of expectations for the development of biotechnology surgery. After all, there are still decades to go.

This can completely break through a limit in terms of technological development.

"Brother Yuan? What's wrong?" He Yin'er looked anxious. She didn't know why her casual question shocked Lin Yuan so much.

Could it be that my grandfather...

Thinking of this, He Yiner became even more anxious. If she could beat Lin Yuan, she really wanted to tie Lin Yuan up and make him tell her everything he knew!
Lin Yuan finally came back to his senses from the shock of the biotech surgery. "Your grandfather should have died forty years ago, but he had a biotech surgery, and it was successful, so he survived. However, his surgery can only extend his life by forty years, which means that his life span has almost reached its end and he will soon die."

"how come……"

He Yin'er slumped back into her chair in despair, her eyes full of disbelief.

He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing hurriedly tried to comfort him, and at the same time asked, "Brother Yuan, can Da He's grandfather be saved?"

Hearing this question, He Yiner also looked at Lin Yuan hopefully.

Lin Yuan had no idea of ​​the answer, so he asked the "Golden Finger" again. However, the "Golden Finger" gave him a despairing answer:

[Life is coming to an end, no medicine can cure it! ]

Lin Yuan could only regretfully tell He Yin'er the result. Looking at He Yin'er's sad face, Lin Yuan felt sorry for her, but he had no choice but to say, "I'll give you some time off. During this time, spend some time with your grandfather."

Anyway, there aren't many people at Ghost Lake Fish Pond, so it doesn't matter if it's closed for a few days.

Even if someone wants to buy ghost blood ink, people in the store can go and get it without having to bother He Yiner all the time.

He Yin'er nodded dejectedly. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly got up and ran to the cashier. She found the lucky cat that was still waving its little hand and said, "I want to make a wish!"

However, she felt around her body but didn't feel anything, so she could only look at Lin Yuan pleadingly.

Lin Yuan sighed, "Xiao An, go to the utility room and get an animal for Da He."

"Yes."

Xiao An got up and went to the utility room. He soon came back with a red-eyed rabbit and handed it to He Yiner.

After He Yiner took it, she stuffed the red-eyed rabbit directly into the mouth of the Wish Lucky Cat.

The mouth of the Wish Lucky Cat is only as thick as two fingers. Logically speaking, the red-eyed rabbit is so big that it definitely cannot be stuffed in. However, when the red-eyed rabbit got closer to the mouth, it began to get smaller and smaller, and finally became a size that could be stuffed into the mouth.

puff!
The wish-bringing cat swallowed the red-eyed rabbit and then spit out a piece of wishing paper. He Yiner quickly picked up a pen and started writing and drawing on it.

The probability of the Wish Fortune Cat being used in the Peace Hotel is not high, mainly because the consumption is too high.

Before making a wish, you must first exchange the wishing paper for an animal. If the wish is unsuccessful, the animal will not be returned. Even if the wish is successful, you still have to fulfill the wish afterwards, and the reward you wish for is at least an animal.

However, it has been used a few times, and this is the Peace Hotel, so no matter how disharmonious or impossible things are, they deserve respect.

"Big He may be disappointed this time, after all, even Brother Yuan can't help her." Liu Qingqing sighed, obviously she was not optimistic about He Yiner's behavior. Lin Yuan did not refute.

In his opinion, although the Wish Cat is very powerful, the wishes it can grant are limited. How can the Wish Cat possibly do what even his "golden finger" cannot do?
Seeing that he did not refute, the others understood what was going on and their eyes were immediately filled with sympathy when they looked at He Yiner.

After all, my dearest grandfather was about to pass away, and he had predicted his death before he died, but there was no way to change it...

This feeling can really drive people crazy.

Sure enough, when He Yiner stuffed the wish paper with the wish written on it into the wishing cat, there was clearly nothing in the cat's mouth, but she couldn't stuff the wish in, as if there was an invisible membrane blocking it.

"Go in! Go in!"

He Yin'er stuffed it in again and again, and even wanted to use her supernatural powers, but under the watchful eyes of the "store manager", she couldn't use it even if she wanted to.

The fourth level of supernatural power of Ghost Lake seemed to have lost its effect and fell into complete silence.

Seeing her so crazy, Tong Qian couldn't help but stand up and wanted to go over to comfort her, but Liu Qingqing stopped her, "Don't go over and be annoying at this time."

Her attitude towards Tong Qian has always been so bad.

Tong Qian bit her lip and whispered, "I admit that you are right. It would be annoying if I went there at this time, but I have reasons to go there. After all, her grandfather is also a very scary ghost rider. If he loses control..."

Liu Qingqing sneered and made way. "I am the only one who hates you now. Da He and Xiao He are quite nice to you. If you push them to the same level as me, you might not be able to stay here for long."

Tong Qian glanced at He Yuelian, but He Yuelian, who was clearly sitting next to them, seemed not to have heard their conversation and kept staring in the direction of He Yiner.

"I know, but there are things I have to do. And...thank you for your concern."

Liu Qingqing said expressionlessly, "Care? Put away your mysterious confidence. I wish you would get out of here as soon as possible, lest one day in the future we need to personally clean up the traitors."

"If that day ever comes, I'd like to die at the hands of the store manager."

Tong Qian said seriously, then strode towards He Yiner.

He Yuelian's eyes moved over and fell on Tong Qian's back, "She is a good person, but she is not suitable here."

"Don't worry, we can't decide her life or death. Everything depends on her. It's just that when we first came here, there were four of us, but in the future there will be one less. I always feel a little regretful."

Lin Yuan looked at the two of them in confusion, "What were you whispering about just now? Why did Xiao Tong go there? Don't you know that Da He is the last person to be disturbed right now?"

"Let her go. Anyway, she is confident that she can appease Da He." Liu Qingqing said with a smile.

Lin Yuan thought about it and realized that the friendship between women was indeed not something he could understand, so he chose to respect Liu Qingqing's attitude and let everyone continue eating.

We still have to open for business in the afternoon, and we can’t let everyone be exhausted.

He Yin'er was not in the mood to eat. Seeing that the Wish Cat was unwilling to accept her wish paper, she turned around and walked out of the store quickly.

Tong Qian called out several times, but He Yin'er didn't answer. She only stopped He Yin'er when they were almost at the fish pond. He Yin'er didn't say anything either, but just stared at Tong Qian coldly.

Tong Qian said helplessly: "You are going back to Taiping Ancient Town, right? I will ask the store manager for leave and go back with you."

He Yiner's expression softened a lot. "No need. I can handle my grandfather's affairs myself. Your situation in the store is a bit awkward. Don't ask for leave easily because of other things."

She is different from Liu Qingqing.

As the person in charge of the oldest headquarters, He Yiner and Tong Qian have known each other for a long time. She knows Tong Qian very well and knows that she is a good person, but sometimes her good intentions are used in the wrong way and methods. Other times, there are better options but she chooses an inappropriate answer, which makes people feel disgusted.

There are many people like Tong Qian in this world, and the most familiar one among them is Li Jun.

However, compared to Tong Qian who is easily disliked, Li Jun is obviously more upright, but is more easily liked and respected by everyone.

However, Tong Qian shook her head. "Grandpa He is a ghost rider of the older generation. And from what the store manager said, he has been an alien for forty years. His strength is undoubtedly terrifying. Now he has reached the limit of his lifespan. If he is not handled properly, it will easily cause great harm. It may be troublesome for you to handle it alone. I will go with you so that I can take care of him. I also need to make a call to the headquarters and ask them to arrange some people to come and handle Grandpa He's funeral together..."

Tong Qian spoke her mind, not noticing that He Yiner's face was getting colder and colder.

Or maybe she noticed it, but still chose to say what she was thinking.

"That's enough. This is my own family affair. If there are any consequences, I will bear them all. I hope you will show up for this matter, and I don't want anyone from the headquarters to show up. Don't follow me again, or I won't be polite to you."

He Yiner pushed Tong Qian away and strode forward.

Tong Qian wanted to chase after her, but water began to gush out from the place where He Yiner had just pushed her. The water was not much, but it wrapped her up like a layer of clothing, making her unable to move.

Even the ghostly smiling face and ghostly crying face on both sides of her head fell silent.

It was not until a few minutes later that the water on her body disappeared completely, and her clothes were not wet at all, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Tong Qian hurriedly chased after her, but apart from an idle ghost taxi, there was no sign of He Yiner.
"No, I have to report the situation to headquarters immediately!"

Tong Qian's figure disappeared in the white mist, and she didn't even have time to ask Lin Yuan for leave, so Lin Yuan didn't realize something was wrong until after he finished his meal.

"Da He had some family matters, so I approved her leave. But what happened to Xiao Tong? Where is she? Why is there no news at all?"

Just as Lin Yuan was wondering, the phone behind the cashier counter rang. He Yuelian, who had returned to her post, picked up the phone and listened for a moment before handing it over to Lin Yuan. "Brother Yuan, this is a call from someone claiming to be Tong Qian's father."

Tong Qian's father?

Lin Yuan was even more confused, but he still picked up the phone. After a brief greeting, he heard the middle-aged male voice on the phone apologetically say, "I'm sorry, Boss Lin. My Tong Qian is spoiled by her family and doesn't know much. She suddenly ran back home just now..."

The main focus was an apology, which made Lin Yuan feel a little embarrassed. After all, he had never dealt with the parents of his employees.

"Fortunately, my welfare benefits are good."

Lin Yuan was muttering to himself. Just when he finished the call, Tong Qian came in from the store at a trot. The smiling cat and crying cat on her shoulders held on to her shoulders tightly with their claws, as if they were afraid of being thrown down.

After coming in, Tong Qian immediately bowed her head and apologized to Lin Yuan, "I'm sorry, boss, I shouldn't have left without permission."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Your father just called to explain that you heard that a colleague's relative was about to pass away, so you felt moved and went home to find your father. This is human nature and understandable. And it was also lunch time just now. But don't do this again in the future, otherwise you will have to think about your perfect attendance this month."

"Perfect attendance? Do we have this project?" Liu Qingqing suddenly came over, looking puzzled and expectant.

Lin Yuan: "..."

Did I say anything just now?
Seeing Lin Yuan leave with an embarrassed look on his face, Liu Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing. He Yuelian, who had just tidied up the cash register, couldn't help but say, "If you keep going like this, one day you'll be punished by Brother Yuan."

"I'm just afraid she won't punish me."

Liu Qingqing replied very forcefully, then looked at Tong Qian and said, "There are still many smart people in the headquarters. You should thank them."

Without waiting for Tong Qian to answer, Liu Qingqing turned and left.

He Yuelian patted Tong Qian on the shoulder and said, "As long as you are still in the store, you are our colleague. And don't forget, you need to discuss the night shift with Xiao Liu. Go find her and talk it out."

"If possible, I also hope to be good friends with everyone."

Tong Qian shook her head. The conflict between her and Liu Qingqing was essentially about her attitude towards the Peace Hotel and the "store manager". Unfortunately...

At this time, at the headquarters of Dajing City, Cao Yanhua said to the kind-looking middle-aged man, "Thank you for your hard work in the middle of the day."

"No, no, it's my child who is too ignorant and has caused you trouble." The middle-aged man was the one who had just talked to the "store manager", but he did not lie, he was indeed Tong Qian's father.

When Tong Qian was still the head of ZS City, her family had been properly settled by the headquarters and she had an easy job at the Dajing City headquarters.

Ever since Tong Qian became a cook at the Peace Hotel, her father's treatment has continued to improve.

Today, Tong's father is also a deputy general manager. Although he does not manage the business or personnel much, his life is very comfortable.

After comforting Tong's father, Cao Yanhua returned to his office. Following him in was Zhao Jianguo. "Minister, do we need to send someone to Taiping Ancient Town?"

"Let Wei Jing go over and keep an eye on it first, but don't worry too much. Taiping Ancient Town, like Zhongzhou, was flooded by the Ghost Lake. Even if a ghost revives, it can't get out or in, so it shouldn't be a big problem. As for Tong Qian, she seems to be getting a little impatient. Prepare a psychological team to counsel her, and start after get off work tonight."

"Understood, I'll make arrangements right away."

Wei Jing, who received the notice, had no objection and headed towards Taiping Ancient Town on the helicopter from the headquarters.
