I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 402: Really blinded by money
In Shuangqiao Town, within an hour, Fang Shiming fully utilized his ability as a president to command people and set up five or six tables on the playground of this abandoned primary school. The ingredients and kitchen utensils were also ready, but the food was not cooked yet.

"Where is Mr. Zhang? Is he still not sure how many tables he wants?" Lin Yuan was a little unhappy.

The old robot took his lobby manager away and was about to light a fire to prepare for the lunch gathering, but the other party did not show up.

Isn’t that a bit too irresponsible?

Without Ling Yiguang, there was no one in charge here. However, Ling Yiguang had given instructions before he left, so Nie Yingping stepped forward and said, "Boss Lin, can you wait a little longer? It's still a little early now, just after nine o'clock."

"I don't have so much time. These things should have been decided a few days ago. If it wasn't the first time for the store to host this kind of banquet and we wanted to gain some experience, I really wouldn't want to take your job." Lin Yuan complained.

This change in attitude occurred after He Yuelian asked for leave.

Nie Yingping probably guessed it, so he didn't dare to offend Lin Yuan at this time. He could only smile along. Fortunately, Lin Yuan was just talking.

Fang Shiming came over and said, "Brother Yuan, if we delay any further, time will be tight. It might ruin our reputation. Since Zhang Xianguang said there will be at least three tables, let's prepare five tables first. I believe Boss Zhang won't mind."

Ok?
Lin Yuan glanced at Fang Shiming and suddenly felt that it made sense, but Nie Yingping on the side widened his eyes and stared at Fang Shiming as if he were an enemy.

"This perverted gorilla with thick eyebrows and big eyes but carrying only a pair of pants has such a vicious mind!"

According to the previous agreement between Ling Yiguang and the "store manager", there are ten dishes on the table, most of which cost three yuan each, but there are also two dishes that cost seven yuan each.

In other words, the cost of the dishes alone for a table would be thirty-eight yuan.

The tableware for four people costs three pieces, and for a table of eight people it costs six pieces.

We also have to add the service charge of seven dollars, so the total cost per table is fifty-one dollars, which does not include possible alcoholic beverage costs. It can be said to be very expensive.

For five tables, that would be two hundred and fifty-five dollars!
Look at the “store manager”, the corners of his mouth are so curved that he can hardly suppress them!
Lin Yuan was indeed very happy. He had originally thought that there would be only two or three tables today, but he did not expect that it would soar to five tables. What's more, this was confirmed by the boss of Lingyi Guang today.

Of course, there is no problem!

As for whether Ling Yiguang will deny his promise or even go back on his word and try to eat and dine for free?

After taking a look at the ghost security guard following Fang Shiming, and the door-knocking ghost Lao Hei squatting next to the kitchen utensils and ingredients, Lin Yuan felt a complete sense of security.

Nie Yingping hurried to find Zhang Xian, "How many ghosts are there in the ghost cage? Are there enough eighty-five?"

According to the rules of the Peace Hotel, or the "store manager's" rules, these five tables require eighty-five ghosts. That's eighty-five ghosts!

If they can’t take it out, what will the “store manager” do given his personality?
By then, it is estimated that all the ghosts they control will not be able to escape the demands of the "store manager". After all, the Peace Hotel has no shortage of dishwashers.

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened and he said, "What's the matter? Are you going to follow Chen Qiaoyang's example and take away thirteen ghosts at once? I tell you, that's impossible! Even if there are ghosts you have imprisoned here, they are all prepared for the store manager now, and they can't be given to you!"

"It's for the store manager."

Nie Yingping was so anxious that he explained the situation just now and added: "We have to quickly count. If the number is not enough, we must go and catch some more ghosts to make up the number of 85. We even need to prepare more to avoid any trouble later."

"What? Five tables? So many ghosts?"

Zhang Xianren was numb, but he also knew that this was not the time to pursue responsibility. He quickly recalled and said bitterly: "Originally, it was enough, but Chen Qiaoyang took away thirteen ghosts. Now there are seventy-eight left, and there are still seven ghosts missing."

Although it's just a ghost that's not very scary.

But in the past few decades, supernatural events were not common. In normal times, one might not encounter several supernatural events throughout the year. Moreover, even if there were, their influence was not spread all over the country, so it was impossible for them to arrive in time and detain the person every time.

The ability to gather so many evil spirits is a sudden achievement made possible by the revival of the supernatural and the frequent occurrence of supernatural events in recent years.

Before encountering the Peace Hotel, there were more than a hundred ghosts in the ghost cage.

Later, they were taken away one after another by Ling Yiguang as meal allowance for him and Zhang Xianguang at the Peace Hotel. Originally, there were more than ninety of them, but after thirteen were taken away by Chen Qiaoyang, there were only seventy-eight left, which was not enough.

Seven ghosts, the number of evil spirits controlled by the people present seemed to be enough...

"No, there's still time. We have to imprison some evil spirits first. We still have to find Zhang Xianguang. He controls the Ghost Post Office. We need his assistance. I'll go find him at the Ghost Post Office. You take care of the store manager."

As Nie Yingping spoke, he took out the letter paper, lit it, and then went to the ghost post office.

The whole process didn't even take half a minute. When it was all over, Zhang Xian finally reacted and couldn't help but yell, "Damn Nie Yingping! You actually ran away and left this mess to me. That's too much! And Zhang Ying, Du Hong, Song Xinhai, why are you laughing?!!!"

"I'm not laughing at anything. I just think everyone is in a very interesting mood here with the store manager, isn't it?" Zhang Ying replied with a smile.

Although they all changed their forms, most of them turned into gorillas.

But the return of normal human emotions also gives people a strange feeling.

Du Hong nodded and said, "It's like going back to when I was an ordinary person, with normal emotions. This feeling is simply amazing. It's a pity that I don't have enough evil spirits, otherwise I would really like to live in the Peace Hotel."

Zhang Xian sneered, "Why, have you forgotten Zhang Xianguang's plan?"

"Of course not. If we had really forgotten, we wouldn't still be here. In any case, I would rather see world peace than personal comfort. Maybe you will say that I am hypocritical, but this is indeed my truest thought. If the plan is realized, and we managers really fall one day, I will definitely be the last one." Du Hong didn't care about Zhang Xian's hostility at all, and expressed his attitude very frankly.

Zhang Xian wanted to fight back, but thinking back on how Du Hong had always behaved, he just said coldly, "I hope to see that day."

Du Hong shrugged and walked towards the "store manager" with a smile, as if he was putting his words into practice.

Zhang Ying and Song Xinhai looked at each other and followed, leaving Zhang Xian alone there. His face kept changing, but there was nothing he could do.

As a collateral descendant of Zhang Xianguang, he is different from Du Hong and others.

Du Hong and others were impressed by Zhang Xianguang's ideals, ambition and charm, so they joined his Peach Blossom Spring Project and worked hard for that very small hope and that very bright future.

Selfishly?

Of course there are, but they are definitely beyond the scope of righteousness.

But Zhang Xian is different. The reason he was able to join Zhang Xianguang's team was due to a series of accidents. He is also more selfish and is not the same kind of person as Du Hong and others.

When the supernatural light is present, they can still live in peace.

But now that Ling Yiguang was not there, they couldn't even maintain superficial peace between them, but at least they didn't fight.

At this time, Nie Yingping had already arrived at the Ghost Post Office.

The ghost post office had returned to normal, but he did not enter the first floor lobby. Instead, he stood at the door and looked inside with a frown.

The hall was empty, with no one in it, but it gave him a sense of danger.

How can it be!

Could it be that Yang Jian and Sun Rui, who wasn't even a captain, had actually defeated Ling Yi Guang?
Just when he was confused and even wary and ready to return, he suddenly saw a strange light coming out from the corner. This made him breathe a sigh of relief and he quickly went over to greet them, "What's going on? Where are Yang Jian and the others?"

"I didn't kill them. I let them into the oil painting world." Ling Yiguang said lightly.

Nie Yingping nodded and said, "You did the right thing. For some reason, Yang Jian is still valued by the store manager. If you really kill him, the store manager will definitely have a problem with you afterwards. Before you have the capital to fight against the store manager, you should avoid making enemies with the store manager. Moreover, he should have the store manager's business card in his hand. With his strength, he should still be able to take out the business card under your attack."

Ling Yiguang said: "Don't worry, I understand what you mean. And I believe that it won't be long before the store manager will be here."

Nie Yingping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "It seems that the boy was bullied by you so badly that you actually want to call his parents?"

He was right.

Yang Jian was indeed badly bullied by the supernatural light. Even with the enhancement of the ghost shadow clothes, without Li Qingzhi's old hatchet, his supernatural weapon was far inferior.

Even though his ghost domain was strong enough, it was still far behind the supernatural light that broke through the air with a knife.

Even Ling Yiguang didn't use the Ghost School, didn't have a direct confrontation with Gui Meng, and didn't even use the old sword at full strength.

Otherwise, Yang Jian alone would not be able to withstand his full-strength attack, let alone bring Sun Rui with him to the oil painting world.

"Then have you figured out how to explain it to the store manager?" Nie Yingping asked.

"It's very simple, just explain it truthfully."

The real Zhang Xianguang came out. He was also the manager of the Ghost Post Office. He stood together with Lingyi Guang. The two looked almost identical, with no difference at all.

If we really want to tell the difference, we can only tell it from the supernatural power.

"In the manager's opinion, the Ghost Post Office is a very dangerous place, especially the senior executives here, who may be involved with evil forces. Yang Jian and Sun Rui, as the heads of the headquarters, or police officers, came in undercover as messengers to investigate the matter. My identity is a coerced senior executive, and you are my twin brother, so it makes sense how to explain it," said Zhang Xianguang.

Nie Yingping shook his head. He still didn't quite understand, but it didn't matter. "As long as you think it through, it'll be fine. But before that, there is one thing I want to say. It's about the dinner party. We are still short of a few ghosts. If we can't get them all, even if we pass this level, the manager will ask for the evil ghosts after the banquet is over."

"Seven ghosts? We should prepare a few more in case of emergency." Ling Yiguang said and looked at Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang pondered for a while, and actually used the administrator's authority to explore the entire ghost post office. He soon got the answer, "There are evil ghosts wandering in the post office now, but there are only nine of them." "Let's leave it this way for now."

As they were talking, Yang Jian and Sun Rui suddenly walked out of the oil painting world, holding a business card in their hands. The business card was emitting white mist, which was the white mist ghost domain of the "store manager".

Yang Jian was in a very bad condition at this time.

There were no obvious wounds on his body, but there was very little breath of a living person, as if a ghost was standing there, and the terrifying spiritual aura was very obvious.

Ling Yiguang's old sword is not so easy to carry.

Even though Ling Yiguang did not use his full strength, Yang Jian, whose growth rate was delayed, could only rely on restarting himself to resist the damage.

In the world of oil painting, he also discussed with Yang Xiao, and finally decided to bring in the "store manager", and he had already prepared an explanation for how to explain to the "store manager".

But when he saw Zhang Xianguang, Ling Yiguang and Nie Yingping standing together and looking at him without any worry, Yang Jian's heart sank.

Sun Rui whispered, "They were not surprised at all. They must have predicted our plan. Yang Jian, are you sure?"

"We must give it a try no matter what." Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

However, Sun Rui could tell that he did not have much confidence.

The white fog ghost domain soon filled the entire first floor hall. Unlike Yang Jian’s ghost domain and the ghost domains of other evil spirits, the appearance of the white fog ghost domain did not cause the electric lights to short-circuit, as if this was not some terrifying supernatural power, but just a normal natural phenomenon.

Not long after the white fog ghost domain dissipated from the door, the door was pushed open again, and the "store manager" Lin Yuan walked in puzzledly.

Following behind him was the ghost catcher Lao Fan, who was as tall as an iron tower!

Not only that, even the knocker, Lao Hei, is following them. They look like a very ordinary group, but their actual strength is terrifyingly strong.

Let’s not talk about the knocking ghost for now. Although it was fed a lot of “bones” by the “store manager”, which increased its level of terror, it is still not enough compared to the dozens of suppression places of the ghost catcher.

The same was true for all the ghost riders at the scene.

In front of the current ghost catcher, even Zhang Xianguang is likely to be a younger brother, not to mention others.

"The strength of the Peace Hotel is too terrifying. Even without a manager, a security ghost alone is enough to crush most of the supernatural forces." Nie Yingping muttered in a low voice, which was also everyone's true thought.

Sun Rui, however, remained optimistic and whispered to Yang Jian, "It's actually a good thing to have a store manager like this. In many cases, as long as you are right, you don't have to fight hard."

Yang Jian nodded. This was also the reason why he summoned the "store manager".

Lin Yuan looked around the ghost post office warily, and only heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that everyone here was familiar. "Xiao Yang, you called me here in such a hurry, I thought something had happened."

That's what he thought.

Yang Jian went to the Ghost Post Office as an undercover agent, and the Ghost Post Office is a dangerous place. If those people behind the scenes really knew Yang Jian's undercover identity, what would be the result?
On the way here, Lin Yuan's mind flashed through the horrible endings of undercover agents who were discovered one after another.

For this purpose, he not only brought the ghost messenger Lao Fan and the knocking ghost Lao Hei, but also made preparations to rescue Yang Jian and Sun Rui even if it meant exposing his "golden finger".

Not a saintly heart.

As an ordinary person living in peacetime, I just want to pay tribute to the heroes behind the scenes who risk their lives to maintain their own lives.

Yang Jian heard the protection in Lin Yuan's words and felt warm in his heart, but he did not forget what to do.

He pointed at Zhang Xianguang and Ling Yiguang and said, "Brother Yuan, my undercover mission failed because of them. They are the accomplices behind the scenes and the thugs of the group behind the scenes."

Lin Yuan looked at Ling Yiguang and Zhang Xianguang in surprise.

His eyes fell on the chain around Zhang Xianguang's neck, then looked at the chains around Yang Jian and Sun Rui's necks, and said helplessly: "Xiao Yang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

The moment the "store manager" appears, their state has completely changed into the image recognized by the "store manager".

Zhang Xianguang turned into a gorilla. There was a thick chain on his neck extending upwards and suddenly disappeared at a height of one meter. It was obvious that some kind of space technology was used, and this chain was a restriction on him.

The same is true for Yang Jian and Sun Rui. Although they still look like normal people, they also have similar chains around their necks.

In other words, they are in the same situation as Zhang Xianguang in the Ghost Post Office, and they are all poor people controlled by the group behind the scenes.

At least, that's what the "store manager" sees.

The only difference is that the chain around Zhang Xianguang's neck is thicker, the kind that is almost impossible to crush with a hydraulic press.

The chains around Yang Jian and Sun Rui's necks were thinner, at least half as much.

Yang Jian also noticed this, but luckily he had already thought of an excuse, "Brother Yuan, after a tiger eats a person, its minions will appear."

A very simple metaphor, but one that makes the point very clear.

He believed that Lin Yuan understood what he meant, but what made him uneasy was that Zhang Xianguang did not refute him at all. He just looked at him quietly, as if he was looking at a clown.

Lin Yuan still had a high degree of trust in Yang Jian. After hearing this, he looked at Zhang Xianguang in astonishment, "Old Zhang, you are not really helping the evil, are you?"

It was impossible for Zhang Xianguang to pretend to be sophisticated in front of the "store manager". He just looked helpless.

Even a furry gorilla face couldn't hide this expression. "Boss Lin, I do have access to some power in the post office now, and I can make some arrangements, but I can guarantee that I have absolutely no selfish motives, and I am also trying to help anyone who can help. You have been to Shuangqiao Town, and you should have met Du Hong, Zhang Ying and others. They used to be messengers of the post office and were controlled by the post office. I also spent a lot of effort to help them get rid of this control. It's just that my ability is limited, the power I have is limited, and there are too few people I can help. Over the years, I have also been working hard to get into the real high-level, and even control the ghost post office, so that even if I can't destroy this post office, at least I can use my ability to help more people."

Can you still play like this?
Yang Jian’s eyes widened, feeling as if he had learned some “advanced” knowledge about society.

Zhang Xianguang’s words were true and false, but with Du Hong and others as evidence, unless one could see through all the circumstances, there was really no way to tell the truth from the false.

Even the "store manager" Lin Yuan can only make judgments based on the information available.

Although he was more willing to believe Yang Jian, there seemed to be nothing wrong with Zhang Xianguang's words. Seeing Lin Yuan hesitate, Zhang Xianguang continued, "In that small space, there are also many friends I have helped before, but unfortunately, they were not able to leave successfully. To express my apology, I also invited them to the gathering in Shuangqiao Town this time."

Ling Yiguang said: "Yes, I came here this time to formally invite them, but I was attacked by these two people as soon as I came in. If it weren't for my good luck, I might be dead now."

“You really are good at confusing right and wrong.” Yang Jian sneered.

Ling Yiguang asked back: "Just tell me if you attacked me first when I came in."

Yang Jian: "..."

He really couldn't lie about this. It's not that he was a good boy who didn't like to lie, but he couldn't lie in front of the "store manager" at all. All lies would be discovered.

This is also proven by the blood and tears of many people.

Lin Yuan felt a little headache after listening to this, but as he thought about it, he suddenly figured out one thing, "So, Xiao Yang, why did you call me here?"

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment.

He called the "store manager" over, of course, to help, but...

The identity of the "store manager" is just the owner of a restaurant. According to normal people's cognition, the owner of a restaurant should not be involved in undercover affairs.

Even if he has a personal relationship with the "store manager".

But now it is really unacceptable to involve the "store manager" in such an obviously dangerous matter, and it may even affect the "store manager"'s attitude towards himself.

He had thought about this in his oil paintings.

But faced with the terrifying supernatural light, he had no other choice but to do this. He just didn't expect that the "store manager" would figure it out so quickly.

There was no other way, Yang Jian could only use his last trick, "Brother Yuan, I want to ask you for a favor, money is easy to talk about."

Lin Yuan immediately became interested and laughed, "Xiao Yang, you are being too polite. Tell me, what can I do for you? Although I don't like money, if you insist on paying me, I will accept it with reluctance."

Yang Jian: "..."

Sun Rui: "..."

Zhang Xianguang: "..."

Supernatural light: “…”

Nie Yingping: "..."

Really, you are blinded by money?
