I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 418 Wang Xiaoming's Choice
Cao Yanhua wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a suitable reason.

Fang Shiming would not give him time to make up excuses and directly asked to call all the senior executives over to confront each other to see who was right and who was wrong.

Although those senior people who joined the circle of friends have big character problems, they are definitely not stupid.

They can also see the information about the Peace Hotel and the "store manager". If they really call those people over, they don't know what will happen.

It is better to just deal with it here. Even if you suffer a little loss, it is much better than losing everything.

But he didn't know that Lin Yuan was also a little uneasy. "The circle of friends is really bold. They said they were good friends. It's better to say they were bribed. The transaction involved is not something that a small restaurant owner like me can handle. If it really gets out of hand, I'm afraid I will be the first victim of this struggle!"

Looking at this matter from an ordinary person's perspective, Lin Yuan has already sensed a strong sense of crisis.

He simply did not let Fang Shiming continue speaking, but asked: "Minister Cao, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

When Cao Yanhua heard this, he knew that Lin Yuan didn't want to make things too complicated.

After just a little thought and putting himself in Lin Yuan's shoes, he roughly guessed what Lin Yuan was thinking. However, while he was relieved, he was a little embarrassed.

If Lin Yuan is really just the owner of a restaurant, then it doesn't matter how he is dealt with.

But the problem is that behind Lin Yuan, the "store manager", stands a terrifying existence that no one in the headquarters can afford to offend.

If he really messes up, I'm afraid the headquarters will have a hard time in the future. But he is unwilling to let Fang Shiming go, and he is a little embarrassed for a moment.

Fang Shiming also understood the meaning of Lin Yuan's words.

As a considerate employee, he immediately said, "Boss, my friends don't have any other ideas, they just can't bear to see Professor Wang suffer. So I was thinking, can we bring Professor Wang to the store and let Mr. Zhang check him out? Maybe his health will get better. It's a good opportunity to solve the problem between Professor Wang, Lao Fan, and me face to face."

When it comes to his own interests, Fang Shiming never gets confused.

When Lin Yuan heard this, he thought that this was indeed a good option, but the question was, would the headquarters agree?
Facing Lin Yuan's inquiring eyes, Cao Yanhua sighed inwardly, but forced a smile on his face, "I have also heard of Mr. Zhang's reputation. He has superb medical skills. If he can really save Professor Wang, I have no objection. However, I think we should still consult the person involved in this matter."

"Okay, let's go there now." Fang Shiming said.

Lin Yuan has already started the bystander mode.

When it comes to two huge companies like the headquarters and the circle of friends, his small Peace Hotel really has no way to deal with them.

He doesn't want to bring the crisis of his store being demolished!
The group went to Wang Xiaoming's sanatorium in a mighty manner. They didn't meet anyone along the way because Cao Yanhua had already arranged for people to instruct the staff to avoid face-to-face encounters with the "store manager".

When they arrived at the sanatorium, Huang Ziya and Ah Hong had just walked out. Seeing so many people, they couldn't help but cast a puzzled look at Cao Yanhua.

The meaning is obvious:

Boss, you didn't get it done?

Cao Yanhua didn't look embarrassed at all, as if he didn't understand. He said, "Boss Lin's store has an old Chinese doctor with superb medical skills. Professor Wang has no other way to treat it now. It would be a waste of time and life for him to stay here. I came here to ask Professor Wang's opinion."

So it’s this… bullshit!

Is this what we are asking?

Ah Hong and Huang Ziya were speechless, but they understood that things were still not very successful. At least the responsibility for this matter did not seem to lie with Fang Shiming.

"Boss Lin, please come in."

Facing Cao Yanhua's invitation, Lin Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "I won't go in. Lao Fang, you can accompany Minister Cao in to ask Professor Wang for his opinion."

"it is good."

Fang Shiming naturally had no objection and went straight into the convalescent room.

Wang Xiaoming had woken up at this time. He was still lying on the bed, looking sideways at Fang Shiming, Cao Yanhua, Li Jun and others who came in, his eyes calm and fearless.

Cao Yanhua rushed forward and explained the general situation, then asked, "Professor Wang, are you willing to go to the Peace Hotel for treatment?"

Cao Yanhua actually knows the answer to this question.

Given Wang Xiaoming's attitude towards the supernatural, it was impossible for him to accept this condition, and he had always been very reluctant to go to the Peace Hotel.

Because the white fog ghost zone of the Peace Hotel has the power to influence people's hearts.

It was fine during the day, as the power of the White Fog Ghost Domain had limited impact on the interior of the Peace Hotel, but at night, the Peace Hotel would be completely hidden in the White Fog Ghost Domain.

At that time, the power of the White Fog Ghost Realm was the most terrifying.

Even if he has no such thoughts, the white fog ghost domain will instinctively erode and affect the consciousness and thinking of normal people.

For Wang Xiaoming, this influence is fatal and will affect his judgment on matters related to the Peace Hotel - Wang Xiaoming had mentioned these reasons a long time ago.

While asking questions, Cao Yanhua was still staring at Fang Shiming vigilantly, fearing that Fang Shiming might do something wrong.

But Fang Shiming did not rush to answer the question, nor did he even speak a word. Instead, he had a sense of victory in his grasp, which made Cao Yanhua feel very uneasy.

Sure enough, Wang Xiaoming spoke up, "Okay, I'd like to go to the Peace Hotel."

"what?"

There were not many people in the room. After all, the treatment room was not big. But except Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming himself, everyone else showed shocked expressions.

"Professor Wang, did Fang Shiming threaten you? This is the headquarters, he has no right to force you! As long as you say a word, we will not compromise even if the store manager is here."

Li Jun took a step forward and stared at Fang Shiming with cold eyes.

Fang Shiming sneered and said, "I did tell him some things, but I definitely didn't threaten him. If you don't believe me, you can listen to his own reasons."

Wang Xiaoming also nodded and said, "He is right. Going to the Peace Hotel is my own choice. The reason why I didn't want to go to the Peace Hotel before was to avoid being affected by my consciousness and being unable to make the most objective judgment. But now it's different. I have already been affected."

He turned his head and glanced behind him.

Under normal circumstances, he could see the coffin lid behind him, but now, with the arrival of the "store manager", the coffin lid behind him has turned into a shirt again.

"According to my physical condition, a normal person would have died long ago, but I am still alive and in good spirits. What Fang Shiming said just now is right. Under the punishment of the store manager, I can't die even if I want to. This is proof that I am affected by the supernatural."

"Since the last concern is gone, why can't we go to the Peace Hotel?"

"But after this visit, I will no longer participate in any plans related to the Peace Hotel, because I can no longer guarantee that my plans are my purest intentions, or that I was influenced by the manager and unconsciously formulated a plan that is beneficial to the Peace Hotel."

As he spoke, Wang Xiaoming actually sat up from the bed.

His condition was so serious before that it was impossible for him to sit up, but now...

His words also completely silenced Cao Yanhua, Li Jun and others.

More than ten minutes later, Wang Xiaoming, accompanied by Li Jun and Cao Yang, walked out of the headquarters and prepared to go to the Peace Hotel, and the way was - the mysterious bus!

Of course, this is just for show.

Even though they were supervised by the "store manager", they were unable to take out the "store manager's" business card and go directly to the Peace Hotel. At least in the "store manager's" explanation of the function of his business card, there was no setting for a directional portal.

If they really did this, it would definitely go against the judgement and cognition of the "store manager" and they would be attacked by him.

But this was just a pretense, because after giving a few instructions, the "store manager" Lin Yuan got into the ghost taxi driven by Guo Fan and left.

He did not take the initiative to pick up Wang Xiaoming, nor did he pay any attention to Fang Shiming.

After the ghost taxi rushed into the white fog and disappeared, and the white fog ghost domain completely dissipated, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then glared at Fang Shiming.

Fang Shiming was not afraid at all.

The pants on his back had turned back into an uncovered coffin, bending his waist, but his aura became even more terrifying.

He swept his eyes over the people like a tiger seeing its prey, and finally turned and left. "It takes an hour for the ghost taxi to get from Dajing City to the Peace Hotel. If you can't grasp it, take the ghost bus."

He now has to go back to his circle of friends and get enough resources, or rather, evil spirits.

Give up carrying this coffin?

If it was at the beginning, Fang Shiming did have such an idea.

His waist had been pressed down by the ghost and he couldn't straighten it up. Later, the ghost was taken away by Lin Yuan. Although it weakened his strength, it also gave him a rare sense of relief.

After that, he was punished for a moment of thoughtlessness in the blind date incident in Dajing City, and was burdened with this lidless coffin that was heavier than a ghost.

His waist once again felt the unspeakable weight.

But what if this weight brings with it even more terrifying power?
"Fang Shiming is becoming more and more terrifying. If it weren't for him, there would be no such thing as circle of friends." Cao Yang sighed softly.

His uncle is Cao Yanhua.

As one of the most staunch supporters of the headquarters, he naturally dislikes forces like the circle of friends. It's a pity that sometimes people are always forced to do things against their will and cannot do what they want.

"He is a man who cannot bear loneliness, and he is also an ambitious man who is willing to pay the price. This time when I go to the Peace Hotel, I may not be able to have any targeted ideas about the Peace Hotel, but at least I can restrict Fang Shiming." Wang Xiaoming said slowly.

Li Jun and Cao Yang looked at each other and were about to say something when they heard Xiong Wenwen's frantic voice not far away: "I want to go to the Peace Hotel! I want to see Brother Yuan! You can't do this, it's illegal to restrict children, I'm going to sue you!!!" The voice was loud, but it soon became smaller, as if the source of the sound was moving away.

"Sometimes I think about it and I'm quite envious of Xiong Wenwen. Although he's noisy and easily gets into trouble, he lives a free and easy life without so many worries." Wang Xiaoming's voice gradually faded.

In the ghost taxi, Guo Fan was driving while keeping an eye on Lin Yuan sitting in the passenger seat.

When driving in the white fog ghost area, you don’t have to worry about hitting vehicles, pedestrians, etc., or even driving off the road.

As long as the "store manager" sets the destination, he can reach the corresponding place after enough time even if he drives with his eyes closed.

However, thinking about what Zhao Jianguo and others had said to him at the headquarters before, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Xiao Guo, are you worried about something?" Lin Yuan was very observant and soon noticed that something was wrong with Guo Fan.

Guo Fan's heart trembled, but he pretended to smile helplessly and said, "Yes, it's a little bit, it's all family matters, but it won't affect my work, don't worry, boss."

Lin Yuan nodded, "If you have something to do at home, you can take a leave. Don't worry, our store is very humane and generally won't deduct wages. Just like Da He, according to the law, grandpa is not within the scope of bereavement leave, but we are a state-owned enterprise, there are not so many rules and regulations, the main focus is on humanity. As long as you really have something to do, even if you want to go on a blind date, I can approve you a day of paid leave."

"Thank you, boss. It is really our honor to have a boss like you."

Guo Fan was really moved. He even remembered the company he worked for before becoming a ghost rider. Compared to that, it was simply hell.

The current Peace Hotel is clearly filled with ghosts and spirits, but it is more like a paradise for workers.

At least, no company will approve its employees a one-day paid blind date leave.

He felt a little embarrassed because of this feeling, because deep down he always had thoughts like "can he be replaced?" and "are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born into a certain class?"

There is also Zhao Jianguo.

He was obviously one of the senior executives at the headquarters, but he found a good opportunity to talk to me about his family's work arrangements.

On the surface, there is naturally no special meaning.

After the head of the headquarters joins the company, in order to solve the worries of the leaders, he will generally be arranged a simple job with high salary, various benefits and holidays.

Guo Fan is the local person in charge of the headquarters, so he is naturally indispensable in this task.

But now Zhao Jianguo suddenly brought up this matter and said that he wanted to raise the level of his parents so that they could enjoy better welfare benefits.

What does this mean? How could he not understand?

Even though there was no threat in Zhao Jianguo's words and they were completely for his own good, he was still very dissatisfied in his heart.

This dissatisfaction became more prominent under Lin Yuan's joking concern.

But now he had no other choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction and asked casually, "Boss, you seem to value Professor Wang very much?"

Lin Yuan nodded. "Professor Wang's medical skills are good, and even the headquarters recognizes this. It's a pity that the doctor didn't treat himself. It's a pity that he passed away like this."

Guo Fan said, "The boss doesn't mean to pull him into the store, does he?"

"I do have this idea, but the details will depend on the situation." Lin Yuan was thinking of the "Adventurer's Hotel" plan that He Yuelian had mentioned to him and then expanded upon by him.

If we want "adventurers" to deal with those wild beasts, in addition to corresponding institutional incentives, we also need a corresponding medical system.

Otherwise, when lives are at stake, it is hard to say how much effect the benefits can have.

Zhang Bohua's medical skills are good, but it is Chinese medicine after all, so the effect may be a little slow. If we can get a top Western doctor, it will definitely be helpful for the next plan.

Wang Xiaoming was the candidate he suddenly thought of.

Guo Fan asked in confusion, "If that's the case, then why don't you let Professor Wang take a taxi to the store? We can chat on the way and improve our impressions, which will make it easier to recruit him. After all, he works at the headquarters, so it will be difficult for him to change jobs. We can only rely on his own will and cannot force him."

Lin Yuan sighed and said, "I want to, too. But the conflict between Lao Fang and the headquarters has become prominent. If I act too quickly, I will easily get involved in the fight between my friends and the headquarters. They are all big shots and powerful forces, and I am just a small restaurant owner. If I really get involved, I might die without knowing how."

How can it be!

Whoever wants you to die really doesn’t want to live anymore!
Guo Fan complained in his heart, but rationally did not say it out loud. Otherwise, he would not know whether the "store manager" would die or not, but he would definitely die.

In this game created by Him, no one dares to break the rules.

"If that's the case, boss, do you still dare to recruit Professor Wang?"

Lin Yuan rubbed his brows and said, "So, this is my biggest headache. Let's take it one step at a time. Professor Wang's current physical condition may give him some room for maneuver."

Ok?
Guo Fan looked at Lin Yuan in surprise.

In his impression, the "store manager" always stays away from troubles. This is understandable. After all, the "store manager" is a very important role in his game. If he really gets into trouble, it may delay the "main task" of developing the Peace Hotel.

But what happened today? Why did you have the idea to face the challenge head-on?
An hour later, Guo Fan parked the car outside the Peace Hotel bus stop. Lin Yuan got out of the car directly, asked Guo Fan to continue waiting at the door for work, and then walked onto the bluestone path back to the Peace Hotel.

Not long after he went in, Li Jun, Cao Yang, and Wang Xiaoming, who was brought by them, emerged from the white fog.

Wang Xiaoming has been looking at everything in the white fog ghost domain, but it seems that he has not gained much. It is more like he is confirming everything in the information.

At the same time, several figures walked out from the other side.

The leader was naturally Fang Shiming, and behind him were two members of his circle of friends. They were all ghost riders, and they were holding several sacks in their hands.

Wang Xiaoming took a look and said thoughtfully: "It seems that your purpose is not just to eliminate His punishment."

Fang Shiming was well aware of Wang Xiaoming's cleverness, so he did not answer, but took his men into the commemorative coin exchange office first.

Liu Qingqing is not here, the one here is a puppet robot.

After exchanging seven commemorative coins with a face value of three yuan, Fang Shiming sent away the people he brought with him and went to the Peace Hotel.

It is not the time to serve customers, so there are basically no customers in the store, which makes it convenient to handle "personal matters".

For this matter, Lin Yuan called the ghost catcher Lao Fan into the store in advance and chatted about emotional issues.

of course.

Basically, it was Lin Yuan who was speaking earnestly, while the ghost catcher Lao Fan remained silent.

Although the ghost catcher Lao Fan has always been taciturn in the store, in Lin Yuan's eyes, Lao Fan is still being stubborn and not listening to what he says, which makes him feel a little headache.

At this time Fang Shiming walked in from outside the store.

The originally quiet ghost messenger Lao Fan immediately turned his head to look over, and at the same time stood up and wanted to walk towards Fang Shiming. This action scared Fang Shiming.

Lin Yuan also had a headache and was about to shout to stop them when Wang Xiaoming walked in with Li Jun and Cao Yang.

The ghost messenger Lao Fan, who was originally heading towards Fang Shiming, stopped immediately, looked at Fang Shiming, then looked at Wang Xiaoming… looked at Fang Shiming again, and then looked at Wang Xiaoming again…

This action is definitely that of a scumbag!

Lin Yuan became more and more certain of his thoughts, but he couldn't let Old Fan do whatever he wanted now, so he stood up, glanced at Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian who were full of gossip, turned around and said, "Old Fan, be reserved. Also, let's talk upstairs."

There is naturally no problem for a few people.

This was a very serious jigsaw puzzle problem, but because of the "store manager's" perception, it turned into a love triangle problem that was even more ridiculous than the others.

If that's the case, forget it.

But it has to be watched by several women as an idol drama, who can stand this?

But when the ghost catcher Lao Fan went upstairs, he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the door, where the ghost taxi driver Guo Fan was peeking out.

Just this one glance frightened Guo Fan so much that his face turned pale and he quickly hid behind the door.

"What are you daydreaming about, Lao Fan? Let's go."

At Lin Yuan's call, the ghost messenger Lao Fan reluctantly continued to walk upstairs.

Compared to the absent-minded ghost catcher Lao Fan and the seriousness and expectation of the worker Fang Shiming, Wang Xiaoming, who is also the protagonist of the love triangle, is instead looking at the paintings on the wall of the stairs.

The style of these paintings is very strange.

It would be a big problem if placed in a normal place, but it seems so normal in the Peace Hotel.

The reason why Wang Xiaoming paid attention to this was because these paintings were not recorded in the headquarters' records, and Li Jun and Cao Yang were also confused and solemn.

"It's only been a short while since I last came to the store, but there have been unknown changes in the store?"

"These paintings seem to be somewhat similar to ghost paintings. Is it because of He Yuelian? She handed the ghost paintings to the Peace Hotel and to the manager?"

The two had different thoughts, but neither of them said them out loud.

Wang Xiaoming also had a guess, but it was completely different from the other two and closer to the truth. "He Yuelian is an employee of the Peace Hotel, so the supernatural powers she controls will also be stolen by the Peace Hotel? Or is it a puzzle? He Yuelian has become a puzzle of the Peace Hotel? So... this is why staying in the Peace Hotel for too long will lead to a favorable impression?"
