I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 390: Scumbag Lao Fan, Wang Chaling enters Peace Hotel

"Brother Yuan, have you met before? Why haven't I heard you mention him?" Liu Qingqing was very curious and a little jealous.

Lin Yuan is very cautious with Liu Qingqing now, especially when it comes to such emotional matters. He pretended not to hear anything and returned the photo directly. "I can't remember it either. Maybe I just saw him in the crowd. But this Lao Zhang is really something. I just ran into him at the post office, and he didn't even mention the blind date. Is he under too much pressure?"

This time when he went to the post office, he learned more about the situation there, but it was still not enough. He only knew that it was a place full of dangers.

The post office executives use not only contracts with unfair terms to control their employees, but also threats of force and high-end technology.

That kind of robotic assembly line is not so difficult to deal with.

Although they are also high-tech, their technological content can only be described as average, because they are driven not by artificial intelligence but by the consciousness of living people.

What is truly enviable is the means used in the post office to extract and preserve human consciousness, and to allow living human consciousness to control robots.

That’s right, I’m jealous.

If we just talk about robots, the robot store in the old street of Taiping Town can also make them. Caesar Farm regularly purchases robots from there to manage the three or four-digit breeding rooms on the third floor of the farm.

However, the production efficiency of this store is a bit slow, mainly because this store uses artificial intelligence to drive its robots.

The level of this kind of artificial intelligence is not particularly high. It can only execute some simple commands and programmed instructions. It cannot move like a living person, so the production efficiency is so slow.

By comparison, the technological means used by the post office to make and use robots are incredibly advanced.

Although there is no definite evidence, Lin Yuan can already guess the source of these consciousnesses, which is the group of ordinary messengers who are controlled by unfair terms.

As long as their consciousness reaches a certain condition, the post office's top brass will use high-tech to extract and preserve their consciousness, and finally use it to control robots.

With such means, there is no need to worry about them betraying the Post Office, because their consciousness is ultimately in the hands of the Post Office's top brass and can be easily suppressed.

"The means of extracting consciousness should be illegal, right? The post office's actions should have violated some bottom line. Xiao Yang and his team went undercover in the post office, and it was definitely not as simple as simply retrieving the overlord contract, because such matters do not require the headquarters to take action, as long as the industrial and commercial departments intervene. Or the times are changing too much, and technology is advancing too fast. First, biotechnology created artificial monsters, and now there is consciousness extraction technology, which destroys humanity. Lao Yang should be the messenger whose consciousness was extracted. What about Lao Zhang? He is obviously different from Lao Yang and those robots. The post office also has advanced biotechnology. Lao Yang was created by the post office executives through surgery to manage the consciousness of robots like Lao Zhang?"

The more I think about it, the more headache it gives me.

"Why should I think so much? This kind of thing is totally beyond the consideration of a small boss like me. Anyway, Lao Lu also went to see it, so let the headquarters handle it. I'll just run my restaurant well."

After making the decision, Lin Yuan suddenly felt enlightened.

After no more guests at noon, Lin Yuan gathered everyone together for a working lunch, and then brought up the team building. "It's been so long since I talked about the team building I talked about a month ago, and it's time to fulfill it. It's a way of thanking everyone for their hard work during this period of time. It just so happened that I looked around when I went out today. There is a theme park in Dadong City, which focuses on exploration, puzzles, and hunting. What do you think? Are you interested?"

"It sounds interesting. What do you think, Brother Yuan? If you think it's good, I have no objection." Liu Qingqing was as straightforward and frank as usual, which made Lin Yuan a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, other people responded and he didn't feel embarrassed.

"As long as it's the boss's decision, I, Guo Fan, will firmly support it!" Guo Fan expressed his opinion directly, with a firm expression, as if he was going to join the party.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but nod repeatedly after seeing this.

This kid Xiao Guo's loyalty alone is enough to get him a job in the store.

Lin Yuan's recognition made Guo Fan smile brightly, but he was thinking about something else in his heart: "It seems that I have gained the trust of the store manager. When can I meet the real store manager? I can't keep flattering him like this. I can't see the way to promotion. If this goes on, when will it be my turn to be the store manager?"

He Yuelian also expressed her opinion, which was the same as Liu Qingqing and Guo Fan's, but it was not so obvious that she had ulterior motives.

Xiao An and Xiao Xi naturally followed He Yuelian's footsteps.

In reality, they are among the top fifteen ghost riders in the West and enjoy the title of king.

But in the Peace Hotel, they are just ordinary waiters, following behind an ordinary person like He Yuelian, and contributing their little bit to the development of the Peace Hotel.

Tong Qian also did not object, but she had also made plans. After get off work today, she would discuss this matter with the headquarters and also investigate what the so-called theme park was.

Could it be a haunted place, or a horrible supernatural event about to happen? Otherwise, how could she get the favor of the "store manager".

Most of the employees expressed their opinions, which made Lin Yuan in a good mood.

"It seems that we don't need to waste time looking for a place. It is cheap and time-saving. It is perfect."

Lin Yuan was also very happy. Everyone was very satisfied, which saved him a lot of effort. "No, Xiao Fang hasn't expressed his opinion yet. He is the CEO of a friend circle after all. He came to the store to experience life. Although I treat everyone equally and will not treat him preferentially, I have to treat him equally. I can't...hiss! It's really eye-catching!"

Lin Yuan was still thinking about asking Fang Shiming's opinion, but after taking a look in Fang Shiming's direction, he decisively withdrew his gaze and didn't want to say anything more.

It’s nothing, it’s just an eyesore!
Fang Shiming still had the black pants on his back, and next to him sat the security guard and ghost catcher Lao Fan.

At this time, Lao Fan was leaning closely against Fang Shiming, with one hand on Fang Shiming's back. They were extremely intimate, but Lao Fan's eyes were looking at Guo Fan.

Fang Shiming now had a look of despair on his face, while Guo Fan lowered his head again, constantly picking at his food, thinking to himself, "Can't see me! Can't see me! Can't see me!"

As for Lao Fan?

What a scumbag!

It’s okay to like men, but why do you keep looking at what’s in the pot while eating from the bowl?

After discovering this, Lin Yuan hurriedly ended the lunch and asked everyone to go back to their respective posts to rest.

No one in the store would refuse his arrangement. Fang Shiming, as if he had been pardoned, quickly escaped from Lao Fan's clutches, ran into the back kitchen, and slammed the door shut.

The loud bang almost hit Tong Qian's nose when she was also preparing to go back to the kitchen.

Lao Fan walked out of the store, but this time its eyes were always on Guo Fan, which scared Guo Fan so much that he ran away.

Anyway, his job is in a ghost taxi next to the bus stop, which makes sense.

This scene was not the first time it had appeared, but for some reason, Lin Yuan felt particularly uncomfortable watching it today.

"Brother Yuan, don't you like Lao Fan and the others doing this?" Liu Qingqing did not go back to the commemorative coin exchange office, where her wooden man was. It was just a simple exchange and she didn't need to be there to watch over it.

Anyway, it is impossible for anyone to act wildly in the Peace Hotel.

There were no outsiders at the cashier counter now. Apart from Lin Yuan and Liu Qingqing, there was only He Yuelian. They were both "old hands" who had arrived at the store first and followed Lin Yuan to open up the situation. Therefore, Lin Yuan did not handle the matter in a businesslike manner as he did when facing newcomers such as Fang Shiming and Guo Fan.

"I respect their preferences and don't forbid office romances, but Lao Fan is really going too far. If you like someone, you have to be loyal. He is with Xiao Fang now, and he is openly flirting with Xiao Guo. And Professor Wang at the headquarters has an unclear relationship with him. He looks taciturn at ordinary times, but it turns out that he is a real sea king. What's more, his sea is... This kind of atmosphere is not good. If you don't know, you might think that everyone in our store has problems." Lin Yuan said what he was thinking.

Liu Qingqing blinked her eyes. "Brother Yuan, this situation seems to have been going on for more than a day or two. Why did you suddenly think of bringing it up today? Could it be that you are preparing for a blind date, so you have some feelings for her?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Old Zhang is just trying to match people up here. With my conditions, do I, your brother Yuan, need to go on blind dates? Last time I went to reassure that naughty kid only because I felt sorry for him." Lin Yuan said unhappily.

Liu Qingqing nodded and said seriously: "Of course, as long as Brother Yuan is willing, Xiao He and I are actually willing to be your girlfriend. Of course, if you are greedy, as long as you can convince Xiao He, I am also willing to be your girlfriend together with Xiao He."

"Liu Qingqing! What are you talking about?" He Yuelian's face flushed, but looking at her expression, she didn't look angry, but rather shy.

Liu Qingqing laughed and said, "I'm speaking from the heart. After all, you're so beautiful, Xiao He. I can't compare with you if we really compare. So I can only take a step back and use my true heart to impress Brother Yuan."

As she spoke, she also made an aggrieved expression.

You know what, she is now wearing a red cheongsam, and she really has the style of a lady from the Republic of China era, but she is too lively, like a lady who has gone to a girls' school.

Although Liu Qingqing's appearance is not as good as He Yuelian's, when it comes to getting along with each other, her personality is better.

Pooh!
"What am I thinking? I really picked it? How can I lose my ambition by playing with things before I make the restaurant the best in the world? It's a sin, a sin!"

Lin Yuan quickly gathered his thoughts and began to reflect.

However, the Peace Hotel has not yet become the best hotel in the country. It would be easy to be laughed at if he sets the goal of becoming the best hotel in the world now, so he can only bear it.

"Okay, okay, you're talking as if I want you to agree."

Liu Qingqing blinked her eyes, "I really do. Brother Yuan, you know how I feel. As long as you agree to let me be your girlfriend, I will do whatever you want. Xiao He, what about you?"

Before entering the Peace Hotel, He Yuelian had been well nurtured by her father.

Logically speaking, this level of teasing is nothing and would not cause any psychological fluctuations in her. Instead, it is so childish that it makes people want to laugh.

But for some reason, when she thought about facing the "store manager", she blushed and lowered her head.

"It seems that Xiao He and I have the same idea, Brother Yuan, why don't you just take a loss and accept both of us?" Liu Qingqing smiled even more brightly. However, Lin Yuan frowned and raised his hand to tap Liu Qingqing on the forehead.

Although she didn't use much force, Liu Qingqing's forehead sank down a lot and then bounced back. The arc was a bit exaggerated, as if there was nothing inside, but the elasticity of her skin was excellent.

"You make it sound like I'm a scumbag like Lao Fan. Okay, if you have a lot of energy, go for a run and let it off. Stop making fun of me all the time."

After saying that, Lin Yuan went straight back to the cashier counter, turned on his computer and started playing.

Liu Qingqing curled her lips and rubbed the place where she had just been hit, with a hint of gloom in her eyes, "Brother Yuan, I'm going to run first to vent the anger I feel after being rejected by you, Brother Yuan."

Lin Yuan: "..."

"Xiao Liu is just like that. Brother Yuan, don't be angry with her." He Yuelian brought a glass of water and placed it in front of Lin Yuan. She was gentle and considerate, without any of the charm of the eldest daughter of the He family.

Lin Yuan glanced at her and said, "It would be nice if Xiao Liu was as steady as you."

"If she was as steady as I am, wouldn't she become me? Actually, this is also good. Xiao Liu is like a child who has not grown up yet. With her around, the atmosphere in the store will be much more lively." He Yuelian said.

Lin Yuan nodded, but did not refute this point.

There are still a lot of things to do at the moment, such as team building. Although the store has confirmed it, I still need to make an appointment with Wang Chaling.

In terms of time, it will be in a few days.

It’s not that Lin Yuan can’t come up with the money now. On the contrary, he is very rich now, with plenty of cash, so he can be quite generous.

It is completely different from the poor appearance when he first came to this world.

But he was still thinking about He Yiner. That girl was still keeping vigil for her grandfather He Liansheng. She would not return to work until at least the seventh day after He Liansheng was buried.

He Yiner was one of the first four employees in the store and was deeply trusted by Lin Yuan.

It was the first team-building event at the Peace Hotel. Even if we ignored Guo Fan, we could never forget her!
(Guo Fan:???)
Looking at the time, it was already past three in the afternoon, and even the lunch break should be over, so Lin Yuan called Wang Chaling to finalize the team-building matter.

After Wang Chaling received the call, he did not immediately agree, but said: "How about this, is Boss Lin free now? I will go to the store to talk?"

"Hmm? Okay, then Officer Wang, come over here."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan was a little confused. He didn't know why Wang Chaling had to come to the store to discuss something that could be explained over the phone.

But Lin Yuan was still very welcoming.

"Although Wang Chaling is a police officer and the person in charge of the headquarters, he should be born into a wealthy family. It's a bit early now, so we can have a good chat with him when he comes and let him experience the services in our store. Maybe we can add a big customer in the future. By the way, he has a relatively calm personality, so when the time comes, take him to the fish pond to have a look, maybe he will like it. Da He is not here now, so I'm sorry to trouble you with this matter." Lin Yuan arranged.

He Yuelian nodded, "Okay, Brother Yuan, I will definitely do it well."

In Dadong City, Wang Chaling hung up the phone and casually took out the business card that Lin Yuan had given her. "Only ghost riders can go to the Peace Hotel. Ordinary people can't go there at all. But with the manager's business card, this restriction is naturally lifted for me, but it still requires supernatural powers to activate. Mom, thank you for your hard work."

The young woman next to her didn't say anything, but just placed her hand on the business card.

A cold breath surged in, and large patches of white mist emerged from the originally ordinary business card, quickly covering the entire room and even tending to spread outward.

Wang Chaling quickly said, "Okay."

The woman withdrew her hand, and the white mist stopped spreading. A straight road with two lanes in both directions appeared in the white mist.

It looks like an ordinary city road, nothing special or different.

But this road is obviously not an ordinary road, but an existence that invaded from an unknown mysterious place using business cards and white mist as the medium.

"Grandpa, grandma, mom, the Peace Hotel is not dangerous to me, but it is very dangerous to you. I don't want you to turn into animals, so I can go by myself this time. I have to trouble you. During my absence, please help take care of Dadong City to make sure no little ghosts come out to cause trouble."

The three figures did not move, just stood there woodenly, staring at Wang Chaling calmly.

Wang Cha Ling knew that they all understood what he meant. After all, this was the curse of the Wang family. Then he walked on this straight road.

When he walked onto this road, the white mist disappeared without a trace, taking the road and Wang Chaling with it, leaving only three evil spirits in the room to testify to what had just happened.

“Very novel experience.”

Although he was in a mysterious place, Wang Chaling was not overly worried except for a little nervousness. Instead, he was looking at the scenery around him.

Although, there is nothing to see.

After walking a few steps, the view that was originally only two or three meters wide suddenly became wider. It seemed that the white fog here was thinner, allowing him to see a bus stop and an old taxi that was almost falling apart.

The haunted bus stop and the ghost taxi.

Wang Chaling immediately had an impression in his mind. He took a few steps and saw a man walking out of the ghost taxi. He was looking at him in surprise, "Wang Chaling?"

"Guo Fan."

Wang Chaling naturally knew the other person, or rather, almost everyone in the world who had visited the Ghost Hunter website knew Guo Fan, and also knew every staff member in the Peace Hotel.

no way.

The Peace Hotel has been confirmed in China. Even though many ghost riders abroad regard it as a joke, they all have varying degrees of understanding of the characters in the joke.

Guo Fan knew Wang Chaling because Wang Chaling was one of the twelve captains appointed by the headquarters. He was extremely powerful and had great influence.

"Captain Wang, you didn't bring your ghost with you? Why don't you go back first? Otherwise, when Lao Hua welcomes you, the ghost in you won't be able to be saved."

Guo Fan gave a kind reminder, but he was a little confused.

Normally, no matter whether a ghost rider or a ghost appears here, Lao Hua will say "Welcome~" at the first moment. Those who want to go to the Peace Hotel to consume will not be affected by the supernatural, but those who want to escape will be attacked by the supernatural.

Unable to fight against this kind of conscious spirit, they naturally went directly to the Peace Hotel.

Those who can fight against this kind of conscious spirit will also face physical attacks from Lao Hua's younger brothers who are scattered in the white fog at both ends of the avenue.

In a word, once you are here, don't leave!

But today, Wang Chaling had been around for quite a while, but there was no "Welcome~" from Lao Hua, which made Guo Fan suspicious: "Did he chew an extra bone at noon, and is he still resting to digest it?"

"Thank you for the reminder. But this time I was invited by Mr. Lin to discuss business, so it's not necessary." Wang Chaling explained gently.

So that’s it!
Guo Fan nodded, his doubts were explained, and he didn't ask any more questions, "Shall I take you in?"

"No need, I'll just go by myself."

Wang Chaling rejected Guo Fan's kindness, but when he took a few steps on the bluestone road, he saw He Yuelian coming towards him.

Faced with this face that was so exquisite that it seemed unreal, Wang Cha Ling was a little dazed.

Without the evil spirits transformed from the first and second generations of the Wang family guarding him, he is just an ordinary person, except that he has a higher education, better temperament, and stronger background.

"Brother Yuan asked me to come and pick up Captain Wang and take a tour at the same time." He Yuelian explained her purpose.

Facing Wang Chaling's strange look, He Yuelian did not feel any fluctuation in her heart. She just came to complete the task assigned by Lin Yuan and did not care what the other party was thinking.

Do you really think this is reality and you still need her to socialize?
Ah!
Wang Chaling quickly returned to normal and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, Manager He."

There is nothing much to introduce about the commemorative coin exchange office. It is just a place to exchange Peace Hotel commemorative coins. He Yuelian's main focus is on the Ghost Lake and Fish Pond.

This is what Lin Yuan instructed.

Looking at the waterfall that seemed to fall from the sky, Wang Chaling sighed: "Although I have seen pictures of it online before, it is only when I actually see this waterfall that I feel extremely shocked."

He Yuelian nodded and asked, "Captain Wang, do you like fishing?"

Wang Chaling smiled and asked, "Are you guys so straightforward in soliciting business?"
