I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 369: Scope of the Rules, Condolences and Gifts

"You trust the store manager too much, or rather, you trust your own perception too much. It's true that the rules in the Peace Hotel belong to the store manager, but outside the White Fog Ghost Domain, everything still belongs to reality, including your ghost taxi."

After Yang Jian finished speaking, he ignored Guo Fan and took out a piece of old letter paper and lit it.

Soon, a path leading to the Ghost Post Office appeared, and Yang Jian walked straight in. He wanted to go into the Ghost Post Office to check whether Yang Xiao had appeared in the oil painting.

If not, it means that... when Yang Xiao wanted to exploit the bug through the Peace Hotel and Ghost Taxi, he had already encountered an accident.

Guo Fan originally wanted to ask something, but seeing how anxious Yang Jian was, he began to have some guesses in his mind.

"Has Yang Xiao been taken away by some other supernatural power? Is that path the ghost post office? This is good. Otherwise, if someone really dies, I guess the manager will never keep me here."

Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and continued driving forward.

However, the ghost taxi did not enter Meishan Village. Instead, a cloud of white mist appeared a few meters away. It dived into it and returned to the Peace Hotel bus stop.

When he came back, he just saw the mysterious bus driving into the white fog and leaving.

At the entrance of the bluestone path, Liu Qingqing was standing there playing with her mobile phone. She was wearing a bright red cheongsam and high heels. She looked like a blooming rose, beautiful yet dangerous.

Guo Fan got out of the car and didn't dare to look directly at the other person. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the store with the boss?"

"Brother Yuan asked me to wait for you here. Let's go when you come back. He wants to say something." Liu Qingqing turned and walked towards the hotel.

Although they are high heels, they make no sound when walking on the ground, but leave half a footprint.

These footprints exuded a cold aura, which made Guo Fan, who was following behind, extremely alert. Looking at the slim figure not far in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

When he became the person in charge of Dajing City, Liu Qingqing was just an ordinary white-collar worker.

It was because of the opportunity that he was one of the first people to enter the Peace Hotel. In just less than half a year, he had actually surpassed him by an unknown distance, and he no longer had to worry about the revival of the evil spirit.

The difference between people is indeed greater than the difference between people and pigs.

The two of them quickly arrived at the store. There were no customers at this time. This was indeed the case at this time of day. It gave everyone in the store time to rest and for Lin Yuan to arrange his work.

"Xiao Guo is back? I heard that the business opened today, how is it?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

There are several businesses in the store that have not brought in any revenue. One is the Ghost Lake Fish Pond which is managed by He Yiner, and the other is the Ghost Taxi which is managed by Guo Fan.

Lin Yuan was planning to give up the fish pond.

The same goes for Ghost Taxi, but I didn’t expect that Ghost Taxi would open today. It’s really cause for celebration.

Guo Fan was a little embarrassed, and quickly took out the three yuan ghost money from his pocket, "I sent a guest, Yang Jian's father Yang Xiao, and this money was given by Yang Jian."

Lin Yuan nodded and motioned He Yuelian to take the money back to the counter. "This is a good sign. Work hard in the future, and you will not lose the commission promised to you."

Guo Fan was encouraged and excited, but he suddenly thought of a question: Of course, how much commission did the "store manager" promise to give him?

and many more!

Did the “store manager” promise that? Why can’t I remember it?
"Since everyone is here, I'll just say a few words. You all should know the situation at Da He's house. I have something to do in Taiping Town, and I'm also going to pay my respects at Da He's house. If any of you want to help bring gifts, I can help bring them, that's all."

Lin Yuan looked at everyone. The first to speak was Fang Shiming. He bent his waist slightly, as if he had gotten used to the uncovered coffin pants on his back.

He was originally standing at the place farthest away from the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

But before Lin Yuan could say a few words, the ghost had already approached him and put his big hand on Fang Shiming's back, or rather, on the uncovered ghost coffin that looked like pants.

This is its "bed".

It was forcibly separated by Lin Yuan in the name of punishment, and it turned from a coffin into an uncovered ghost coffin and a coffin lid, which were pressed on the backs of Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming respectively.

As for the ghost itself, it is definitely unwilling to do so.

Its instinct as a fierce ghost makes it want to take them back all the time, but it has no way of violating the rules set by the "store manager", which is the cognition of ordinary people.

During working hours, it has to stand at the door as a security guard.

At night, it has to return to its room on the second floor to rest and recharge its energy for the next day's work.

Only during this temporary rest time during the day can it follow its instinct and actively approach its puzzle piece. That is to say, Wang Xiaoming is not in the Peace Hotel, otherwise it cannot escape the "closeness" of the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

However, when the ghost was stroking the trousers, its head suddenly turned and looked at Guo Fan who had just entered the room.

Guo Fan didn't notice it, but everyone else did, especially Lin Yuan, who was standing opposite the employees for a meeting and saw the scene clearly.

"No way, no way. Isn't there a love triangle between Lao Fan, Lao Fang, and Professor Wang? And seeing how close Lao Fan and Lao Fang are, almost hugging each other, it's obvious that they have a very close relationship. But why did Lao Fan suddenly look at Xiao Guo? Does it mean that he doesn't cherish Lao Fang after getting her, and instead sets his eyes on Xiao Guo? This... is a scumbag!"

Lin Yuan immediately revealed a look of contempt.

The employees opposite were all noticing him, listening to him speak, and seeing his lively expression, they curiously followed his gaze and immediately noticed the intimate behavior between the ghost catcher Lao Fan and the worker Fang Shiming, as well as the ghost catcher Lao Fan's small movements of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot.

As for what gifts to bring, they were all thrown out of my mind. I was not as interested in reading gossip as I am now!

"Ahem! Enough, enough, what are you all looking at? We are not that serious in our store. We believe in free love. As long as you truly love each other, no matter your identity, gender or status, there is no relationship. You can pursue your true love. But there is a prerequisite, that is, you can't be a scumbag. If I find out that someone is cheating on you, or even cheating on several people, don't blame me for being rude!"

Lin Yuan's tone became more and more serious, and finally he glared at the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

Ghost Messenger Lao Fan: “…”

Fortunately, Lao Fan is a ghost and does not have the consciousness of a living person, otherwise he would definitely be ashamed and threaten to resign. But now that he is here at the Peace Hotel, he still wants to leave?

As one of the earlier employees, Ghost Messenger Lao Fan has been almost completely turned into a puzzle of the Peace Hotel due to the spiritual erosion of the Peace Hotel, and he cannot leave even if he wants to.

It's like signing a contract to sell yourself.

After the joke, Lin Yuan talked about going to Taiping Town to pay his respects. Of course, giving gifts was a voluntary decision and Lin Yuan did not force anyone.

Fang Shiming couldn't break free from the hands of the ghost catcher Lao Fan, but in order to get the support of the "store manager", he would naturally be the first to support the "store manager's" decision.

"Boss, Da He was our colleague, and we are deeply saddened by the passing of her family. But I'm too busy with work to leave, so I'd like to trouble you to bring a gift for me. I'm going to give her seven yuan as a token of my appreciation."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, "As expected of Mr. Fang, you are so generous! Okay, I'll bring it, bring the money over. Old Fan, please loosen up a bit, we can talk about private matters in private later."

Fang Shiming burst into tears immediately.

He spent this money just to let the "store manager" control this ghost messenger and stop him from always sticking to him. Does he really think he likes carrying this turtle shell?

This is a punishment, a punishment the "store manager" inflicts on himself.

If you have the guts, go find the "store manager" and get your puzzle back!

Now, without him saying anything, the "store manager" took the initiative to ask the ghost catcher to let go, and the ghost catcher had no way to resist the "store manager's" order and had to let go, which surprised Fang Shiming very much.

"As expected, as long as you spend money, there is nothing you can't do in the Peace Hotel. But it also depends on the timing. If I simply pay the manager to help me stop the ghost messenger, the manager will not agree. He will refuse because feelings are private matters. But as long as it involves more people and things, it will be useful."

Fang Shiming thought he had mastered the trick and felt much better.

This means that he can finally get rid of the entanglement of the ghost catcher Lao Fan, and no longer have to endure the strange looks from Liu Qingqing, He Yuelian and others. This is cause for celebration!
"Mr. Fang, stop looking. Just give me the money and I'll bring it over in a while." Lin Yuan reminded him.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang Shiming donated seven pieces of ghost money, he would have to take a closer look at Mr. Fang's mental state just now because of Fang Shiming's daze.

Mr. Fang has experienced many ups and downs. If he really has any mental problems, they can be discovered and treated early.

Fang Shiming's face froze, and he said with a wry smile, "Boss, I don't have any money on me. How about I give it to you later, or I go back and get it now?"

Lin Yuan's face turned dark.

This kid dares to play tricks on me?

That being the case...

"Now is the break time, everyone can relax. Lao Fan, now can also be considered as a break time, just be careful and don't cause any unnecessary impact."

What?
Fang Shiming was stunned for a moment, and the ghost catcher Lao Fan had already put his hand on his back again, his movements gentle and delicate.

Lin Yuan looked very satisfied, and then looked at the others, "What about you, does anyone want me to bring a gift? Let's make it clear first, if you want to bring a gift, give it to me on the spot, don't say you can go back and get it, I'm going over soon, I don't have much time."

This sentence is a reminder to Fang Shiming and also to others.

"I'm not as rich as Mr. Fang, so just give me a three-yuan gift." Liu Qingqing was wearing a cheongsam without pockets, but she touched her body and actually took out three yuan of ghost money from somewhere.

She was in the store all the time, so of course she had no time to go out and deal with supernatural events, nor could she get ghost money from them.

But she did have a salary. Although she had been living and eating in the store, Lin Yuan still gave her a salary of three yuan a month.

The same goes for everyone else.

With Liu Qingqing's proof, everyone else also had the specifications.

He Yuelian and Tong Qian both took out a three-yuan ghost note and handed it to Lin Yuan. Although Xiao An and Xiao Xi were slaves sold by the owner of the manor, after the first month, Lin Yuan also gave them employee treatment, and naturally they also had a salary.

The same person gave three yuan of ghost money.

Since Li Qingzhi was not in the store, there was naturally no way to pay. Although there was a directional portal, it was not easy for Lin Yuan to run through the portal to the Caesar Hotel to ask Li Qingzhi for money just for this matter.

If you don’t know, you might think he is using He Yiner’s matter to make money.

Finally, the only one left was Guo Fan. When everyone's eyes turned to him, Guo Fan's eyes were about to droop.

"Boss, can I get a three dollar advance on my salary?"

He had only been at the Peace Hotel for a short time and his internship period had not even ended, so he had not received any salary from the Peace Hotel.

If there was enough time, he could go to the headquarters to apply for resource support, but looking at Fang Shiming's situation, he knew that this had to be given on the spot.

Lin Yuan glanced at Guo Fan and said, "Everyone can do it according to their own situation. As long as the intention is there, it's fine. Don't overdraw your future."

Guo Fan wanted to cry but had no tears.

This time the "store manager" was telling everyone something so seriously, it definitely wasn't something that simple. Moreover, everyone gave money, except him (Fang Shiming: Have you forgotten about me?). Didn't that make him the most unsociable one?
He touched his lower abdomen, where there was a spiritual place...

"Okay, everyone go and have a rest. There will be customers coming to the restaurant for dinner in a while, so you have to be alert then."

Lin Yuan gave instructions and headed out the door.

Everyone dispersed. At this time, Tong Qian came over and handed Guo Fan a three-yuan ghost money. "I'll lend it to you first. Return it to me after you get your salary."

"Thank you."

Dun Fan was very surprised. He didn't expect Tong Qian to lend him such a valuable item. However, he didn't have time to think about it and quickly chased after her, "Boss, I want to give you a gift!"

"You are quite generous. You just lent him three dollars. Aren't you afraid that he won't pay it back? This kid has a weird mind. Don't say you didn't notice it." Liu Qingqing said.

Tong Qian said: "We all come from the same place, so we should naturally support each other. And I don't want to lose a colleague because of this matter. A familiar driver is more suitable than the boss hiring another unfamiliar driver, isn't it?"

"I thought you were going to use the fact that you are the person in charge of the headquarters in the store as an excuse. It seems that you have indeed changed a lot during this period of time. But it is not enough. I hope that one day you can truly focus on Brother Yuan instead of taking Brother Yuan's money and selling out Brother Yuan's information. And I believe that this time should not be too long." Liu Qingqing looked at Tong Qian meaningfully, turned around and went upstairs.

Tong Qian rubbed her head and walked to a table nearby to sit down and rest.

Outside the store, Guo Fan handed the three-yuan ghost money to Lin Yuan and said righteously, "Boss, something happened in Da He's family, and everyone is concerned. This is also a token of my appreciation, and I hope you can take it with you."

In this way, the "store manager" will never feel that he is stingy or a pauper, right?

"Who did you borrow it from?" Lin Yuan asked.

Guo Fan: "..."

"It's good that you have this intention. But you should take the money back. Everyone is upset when something happened to Da He's family. But as I said just now, your intention is yours, but don't let this incident ruin your life. I don't want to have to call on everyone to donate money to you one day."

Patting Guo Fan on the shoulder, Lin Yuan got on the sedan chair. Four paper robots lifted the sedan chair and walked out along the bluestone path.

"Work hard and don't let your mind wander."

Guo Fan stood where he was, watching the sedan chair go away and gradually disappear in the white mist, his expression complicated.

Taiping Ancient Town, Ghost Street, and Ancestral Hall.

Today is the second day after He Liansheng's death. The entire ancestral hall has been decorated, with white silk cloth everywhere. A black coffin is placed in the lobby, and a newly made spirit tablet is placed on the offering platform.

There was a brazier in front of the coffin. He Yiner, wearing mourning clothes, knelt in front of the brazier, putting some paper in it and lighting it from time to time to keep the fire burning.

In addition, Boss Liu and the Faceless Man were taking care of things.

The middle-aged woman was still there, but her clothes started to twist, so she had to go to the Ghost Lake to wash them.

The Ghost Lake submerged half of the Ghost Street, which was a good thing for the middle-aged woman because she didn't need to go too far to wash clothes and didn't need to run to the abandoned ferry, which saved a lot of time.

While she was cleaning, suddenly a beam of fire flew over from the direction of the archway and landed beside her. It was Li Jun and Ah Hong.

The middle-aged woman didn't even raise her head. "Young people nowadays are getting more and more impatient. But you've come to the wrong place. Although this place is remote, there are still people living here. If you want to hunt in the wild, go somewhere else. If you pollute this street, don't blame me for turning all of you into clothes!"

Jungle?

A trace of bewilderment flashed across Li Jun's numb eyes. Ah Hong, on the other hand, was very angry. She obviously understood what the middle-aged woman meant. "We are here to pay our respects. Do all the people in Taiping Town speak so badly?"

"You're really a little girl. What? If you don't want to listen, just go away. Don't disturb me while I'm washing clothes." The middle-aged woman retorted bluntly.

"you……"

Ah Hong was very angry, but was stopped by Li Jun. "I am Li Jun, the captain of the headquarters, and this is my colleague Ah Hong. We heard that Captain Yinzi's relatives passed away, so we came here to express our condolences and hope you can be lenient."

headquarters?

team leader?

If it were a few months ago, the middle-aged woman would have ignored these words.

What headquarters, what captain? She has seen many top ghost riders over the years, even those from the Republic of China period. Why should she care about the headquarters that is younger than her and the so-called captain?

However, after experiencing the last Ghost Lake incident, the middle-aged woman has her own understanding of the words headquarters and captain.

She stopped what she was doing, looked at the two of them seriously, and then continued washing clothes. "Just keep walking forward along this road."

"Thank you."

Li Jun thanked her calmly, turned around and took Ah Hong away.

The middle-aged woman had a lot of clothes on. Although she was not particularly fat, she took off her clothes one by one to wash them. Soon she had taken off more than ten pieces, and it seemed that she still had at least the same number of clothes on.

At this moment, there was movement again from the direction of the archway.

"Is this ever going to end? I was washing clothes and I made the water dirty..."

The middle-aged woman burst into anger. When she looked up, she saw a small black ferry slowly approaching. On the ferry was a sedan chair and four robots carrying the sedan chair.

At the bow, there stood a handsome young man, looking at her apologetically, "I'm sorry, big sister, there is only one way to get in. I'm really sorry."

Miss?

No one has ever dared to call her like this. Even if someone had done so before, it had become a piece of clothing on her body, so this time, it was the same!
The middle-aged woman slowly stood up and stared at the young man on the ferry with a serious face. The corners of her mouth curled up, revealing what she thought was a bright and gentle smile, "It's Boss Lin, no need to apologize, I didn't choose the right place. You are here to look for Yin'er, right? She is in the ancestral hall. Do you want me to take you there?"

"No, no need. I can go by myself. Big sister, you continue to be busy. I won't disturb you."

The person who came was Lin Yuan. He apologized sincerely and was more able to understand the middle-aged woman's feelings.

Anyone would be angry if a boat suddenly came by while they were washing clothes, but the smile on the other person's face was a little too bright. If you didn't know better, you would think you had met a big shot when you entered the park.

Run away quickly!
Commanding four robots to lift the sedan chair off the boat, Lin Yuan sat directly on the sedan chair and turned on the nitrogen acceleration of the robot sedan bearers. Light blue flames emerged from under the butts of the four robots, raising a cloud of dust on the spot, and even the lake surface behind him was sprayed with four long water marks.

Then, the sedan chair rushed towards the distance like a ray of light, like a blue light.

The middle-aged woman spit a few times, because that was the dust that had accidentally gotten into her mouth. "Peace Hotel is amazing, how dare you bully me like that! But you can use the ghost domain to such an extent, and you can even turn ghosts into robots, you really deserve to be the manager!"

The ghost street is not long, and it is easy to rush past it with the nitrous acceleration turned on.

Fortunately, these sedan chair bearers were very useful and stopped steadily at the entrance of the ancestral hall. From the accelerated state to the stationary state, Lin Yuan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, did not feel any recoil, which made him very satisfied.

"I don't know which company produced them. I'll buy a few more when I have the chance."

Lin Yuan got off the sedan chair and found that the door of the ancestral hall was open, but he still went forward and knocked on the door, saying loudly: "It's me, Lin Yuan. Da He, are you there?"

Soon several people came out.

The leader was He Yin'er, followed by Boss Liu and the faceless man. What surprised Lin Yuan were Li Jun and Ah Hong. "Why are you here? Are you here to pay your respects as well?"
