I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 419 "The Unknown Love History of the CEO in the Circle of Friends"

If you stay in the Peace Hotel for a long time, especially if you stay overnight, you will develop a different favorable impression of the Peace Hotel.

This is a fact that has long been confirmed.

But no one has been able to explain the specific reason, including Wang Xiaoming.

It was not until the Peach Blossom Spring incident in Shuangqiao Town, when he saw the ghost painting appear in the Peace Hotel with his own eyes, that he came up with this guess.

The reason why I like Peace Hotel and its "store manager" is:

They will all become pieces of a puzzle, pieces of the puzzle of the Peace Hotel and the “store manager”!

All the employees in the Peace Hotel, whether they are evil spirits, ghost riders, or ordinary people, are all pieces of the puzzle of the Peace Hotel!

Since it is a puzzle, it is natural that He Yuelian mastered the ghost painting, and the ghost painting appeared in the corridor of the Peace Hotel, without any abruptness.

Although there is no definite evidence yet, Wang Xiaoming is very inclined to this possibility and just needs to find evidence.

of course.

The paranormal circle does not require so much evidence. Many times, a guess is all that is needed to fight for it.

“There are indeed many things that can be discovered without going deep into the Peace Hotel. If this goes well, perhaps we can get better research results.”

Wang Xiaoming's eyes flickered. "Unfortunately, judging from the state of Liu San and the others, it is impossible to determine the extent to which they have been transformed into puzzle pieces. I also cannot confirm the extent to which I have been transformed into puzzle pieces. Even if I have research results, I cannot confirm whether I have been affected by the supernatural."

His eyes swept over Li Jun and Cao Yang beside him.

Li Jun was fine. Apart from that time when we somewhat rashly arranged for Li Jun to visit the Peace Hotel at night, he had never stayed in the Peace Hotel.

The Peace Hotel's transformation of its guests into a puzzle should be a gradual process.

Li Jun's condition has also been tested in many aspects and should not have collapsed yet.

In the test of "Are you willing to detain the store manager?", his attitude was also very firm.

On the contrary, Cao Yang and others' attitudes in this test seemed very ambiguous, and it was obvious that they were deeply affected.

Fortunately, this impact only affects the Peace Hotel and the "store manager" and does not affect their mind, cognition and ability.

When faced with other supernatural events, they acted as usual, without any abnormalities.

The headquarters has no intention of targeting the Peace Hotel, so naturally they don't need to worry about this.

But can this kind of cognition really be used as a basis?

If the "store manager" is just a ghost that acts according to a pattern of killing people, then of course it is possible.

But He seems to be a person who has lived to the present from an unknown past.

But people have their own ideas and their own wishes.

"No one lives here today, but it has been cleaned. You three can chat here."

Lin Yuan wanted to recruit Wang Xiaoming, but right now it involved a fight between the headquarters and his circle of friends, and he didn't want to get involved.

If he wasn't afraid that Lao Fan would become a pawn in the struggle between two major forces, and even his own small shop might be implicated, he would not have brought him back.

Now, of course, let the three of them talk among themselves.

Matters concerning the relationship are most likely to cause trouble.

But before leaving, he also said, "Old Fan, we can talk, but no matter what the outcome is, you are not allowed to take action. Do you understand?"

After saying this, Lin Yuan left the room.

"We still need to speed up the branch business. If there are more branches and a system like the Adventurer's Guild is built, I won't be as cautious as I am now when facing the headquarters and the circle of friends."

"What do you mean by cautious? Brother Yuan, you are the manager of the Peace Hotel. Who would ask you to be cautious? Brother Yuan, do you have a boss?" Cao Yang joked.

Of course, he only heard the second half of Lin Yuan's mumbling just now, and he complained in his heart.

When did the headquarters and the circle of friends make the "store manager" so cautious?

It is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

In other words, the "store manager" is just a hook set by Him. According to normal people's thinking, this is indeed understandable.

But this did not prevent Cao Yang from taking this opportunity to inquire about His situation.

If in the setting, the "store manager" and "Him" really are in a relationship of store manager and boss, then maybe we can get some unexpected gains.

But unfortunately, how could Lin Yuan leave such a loophole?

"I would like to have a boss to pay me a salary. What's the matter, Lao Cao? Do you have an idea to buy my store?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

Although he had no hostility, Cao Yang still felt something extremely bad.

It was the feeling of being stared at by some terrifying existence, which made his whole body cold. However, he did not dare to show any abnormality. He tried to force out a normal smile and said, "Brother Yuan, you are really a joke. I am just an employee and have not been in the headquarters for long. How can I afford to buy a store, especially the Peace Hotel?"

"That's too modest."

Lin Yuan was just joking and didn't pursue the matter any further, but Cao Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead behind him.

"It almost went cold."

In room 215, Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming sat opposite each other, but their attention was on the ghost catcher Lao Fan standing beside them.

At this time, the ghost catcher looked like an ordinary security guard. Apart from his darker skin, there was nothing special about him.

Even the supernatural aura was suppressed by the White Fog Ghost Domain and the Peace Hotel, making it impossible to detect.

"No, it's not suppressed. It's just that it's now a puzzle of the Peace Hotel. It's also a part of the Peace Hotel. Its spiritual aura is integrated with the entire Peace Hotel. How could I, who was in the hotel, notice anything unusual?"

Wang Xiaoming used his own guesses to analyze the current situation, which was also very reasonable, making him believe in his guesses more and more. "Since it has become a puzzle of the Peace Hotel and a part of the supernatural controlled by Him, it will be even easier to change the killing rules. It seems that He is also a little worried that the manager will be attacked by an ignorant and reckless man, so He also gave the manager the 'Words Follow the Laws' that changes the killing rules."

Fang Shiming was also thinking about something in his mind, but his thoughts were completely different from Wang Xiaoming's.

"Luckily, Brother Yuan spoke up, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance and would have been attacked by the ghost. In this room, it's not just a simple hug, but they'll try to take the puzzle away by force."

A ghost's desire for puzzles is instinctive, almost irresistible.

With just one sentence, the "store manager" can make the ghost catcher turn a blind eye to the puzzle that is hanging in front of him every day and is a part of him.

This kind of power made Fang Shiming feel awed and eager for it.

So he turned his gaze to Wang Xiaoming, "Wang Xiaoming, you should know what the manager thinks. This matter must be resolved today, and this is why I brought you here. Of course, if you are willing to stay, I will also help you to intercede."

There was no awkwardness between the two regarding the topic of a love triangle.

Wang Xiaoming said calmly: "You don't want to give up this ghost coffin, do you want to take this opportunity to control the ghost coffin with the help of the store manager and snatch food from the ghost messenger?"

Fang Shiming's expression remained unchanged, and he did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment at having his thoughts exposed, as if he had already guessed this. "I once said that only you can see through my mind, and this sentence still applies now. That's right, this is the price I pay for helping you."

"But, as long as I am willing, the manager should be happy to let me stay, right? By then, my position in the store will be more important than yours. Would it be inappropriate if I ordered you to do something?" Wang Xiaoming asked doubtfully.

Fang Shiming said, "I haven't seen you for a year or two. You seem to be much more eloquent."

Wang Xiaoming said, "I can't help it. I can help you, but you need to owe me a favor, and it must be done. Don't think about agreeing to it first and then denying it with other reasons. You need to swear to the store manager. You should know which one I'm talking about."

Fang Shiming's face became completely gloomy, and his eyes stared at Wang Xiaoming like a wolf, but Wang Xiaoming was not afraid at all and still looked at him calmly.

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Shiming finally chose to compromise, "It can't be directed against the store manager."

"can."

Wang Xiaoming agreed immediately, and the two reached an agreement. As for the ghost catcher Lao Fan's opinion, it was not very important.

Who made the ghost catcher Lao Fan’s character so taciturn and unable to speak?

Then you can only listen.

The two men and the ghost quickly left the room and found him at the cashier counter in the lobby on the first floor, chatting with Cao Yang about the game. He also gave Li Jun the information and advantages of the character cards on the leaderboard.

Lin Yuan really wanted to bring Li Jun in.

Firstly, everyone is acquaintance, and they were business partners before Li Jun entered the system, although Li Jun seldom came to trade.

Secondly, there are too many rooms in the corridor of the newly opened e-sports room.

There were only four rooms on the second floor before, and it felt a little insufficient, but now there is a shortage of guests who come to play games.

There are a lot of people coming to the store now, but there are only a few who can afford to spend their spare money on games, so we can't waste it.

But he had no idea that Li Jun was determined not to stay overnight at the Peace Hotel.

he.

It is one of the headquarters' rare trump cards for the Peace Hotel. Apart from that one night visit to the Peace Hotel, they have hardly ever encountered attacks from the White Fog Ghost Domain, so they naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to deliver themselves to it again.

The arrival of Wang Xiaoming and Fang Shiming also helped him out.

Lin Yuan also went to meet him.

Although he is afraid of getting into big trouble, it does not mean that he is afraid of trouble. If his employees are bullied without any fault, he will naturally help them.

"This world is too chaotic. Being too weak will make people look down on you. Since you want to build an adventurer's inn, you naturally have to show enough courage and strength." Lin Yuan's mentality is no longer that of an ordinary time traveler.

This was all thanks to the supernatural light. Not only did the other party send him hordes of wild beasts, but he also helped him change his mindset. He is a really good person.

"Looking at your current state, you should be having a good chat, right?" Lin Yuan's eyes swept across the three people and finally landed on the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

He is still a little confused about the relationship between the three people in front of him.

He only knew that it was a love triangle, but he had no idea whether Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming were fighting for the ghost catcher Lao Fan, or whether the ghost catcher Lao Fan was a scumbag who was hooking up with Fang Shiming and Wang Xiaoming at the same time.

But as long as the problem can be solved, the relationship doesn’t matter.

"Brother Yuan, we have already reached an agreement. Now we just want you to be a witness." Fang Shiming stepped forward and took the conversation. He glanced at Wang Xiaoming again and said, "He is ready to give up. The proof of giving up is that he is willing to give me the clothes on his back."

Wang Xiaoming is ready to give up?

Lin Yuan didn't feel surprised at all. He nodded and said nothing.

Witnessing this, Fang Shiming's eyes were filled with surprise.

The clothes on Wang Xiaoming's back are actually the lid of the coffin that gave birth to the ghost. Together with the pants on his back, they form a complete ghost coffin.

Although this ghost coffin is used to breed ghost messengers.

But in his current state, he can forcibly use the supernatural power of the ghost coffin to fight the enemy. Although this has relatively large side effects, he will not die with the supernatural protection of the "store manager".

Since you won’t die, it means there is no consumption!
If he could completely assemble the ghost coffin, his strength would be qualitatively improved, far exceeding his previous peak state!
Wang Xiaoming also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The pressure and terror of carrying the coffin lid on his back was too great. He had to carry it on his back for several months. If he had not been strong-willed, he would have been tortured to madness.

His punishment is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Just like Fang Shiming, if he had not become an employee of the Peace Hotel and had the protection of the "store manager", which greatly improved his ability to withstand pressure and even allowed him to discover the method of utilizing the supernatural powers of the ghost coffin, he would probably have gone crazy long ago.

The ghost messenger's shirt and pants, that is, the coffin and the coffin lid, were the punishment he gave them.

If you want to get it, you need to get his approval, or the "store manager".

As for Him, there was no need to think about it, as they couldn't even see him.

As for the "store manager", a set of reasonable reasons is needed, which are acceptable to him and do not contain obvious loopholes or flaws.

Apparently, they have found it now.

The coffin lid and top, which had been impossible to take down no matter how hard they tried, now fell to the ground without any sound, as if they had no weight at all.

After getting rid of this restraint, Wang Xiaoming felt a sense of relief all over his body, but only a little.

His punishment on him, after the cancer reached its late stage and was even at the peak of mortality, no longer had a physical effect on him, but was more of a psychological pressure.

"My body has already reached its limit. If I leave the Peace Hotel now, I will definitely die immediately." Wang Xiaoming has a clear judgment of his own condition.

The reason why he is not dead now is because this is the Peace Hotel.

In the eyes of the "store manager", it is not time for him to die yet, so he will not die, and what keeps him alive... During the day, there is no white fog in the Peace Hotel, but Wang Xiaoming can feel something in the air drilling into his body.

His intuition told him that this was the white fog outside the Peace Hotel.

It was precisely because of this white mist that he was able to stay alive and not die immediately.

Fang Shiming suppressed the surprise in his heart and was about to pick up the shirt on the ground, but a hand was faster than his and took the shirt away first.

Fang Shiming's face darkened and he turned around to yell, but when he looked at the dark and resolute face of the ghost messenger Lao Fan, his words were stuck in his throat.

Lin Yuan looked at the scene in front of him in surprise, "Lao Fang, didn't you discuss this with Lao Fan?"

Fang Shiming wanted to cry but had no tears. "Brother Yuan, when we were discussing this upstairs, Lao Fan didn't say anything. He didn't refuse us so we took it as his agreement. Who knew he would go back on his word now?"

"This one……"

Lin Yuan didn't know what to say. It was indeed a bit unkind of Old Fan to do this matter.

You didn't say anything when they asked you to discuss something, so everyone thought you had agreed. But when the time came, you changed your mind. That doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

If this was a normal work matter, Lin Yuan would not have any hesitation and would have criticized Lao Fan directly.

But this is an emotional thing...

"Brother Yuan, come here and I'll talk to you."

Fang Shiming's eyes rolled, and he suddenly whispered something to Lin Yuan. His mysterious look made Lin Yuan very fond of him, and he followed him to the corner, "What do you want to say?"

"Brother Yuan, Lao Fan is actually a bit of a playboy, so he can't bear to let go. But when it comes to relationships, you have to be loyal, isn't that right, Brother Yuan?"

As Fang Shiming spoke, he handed over a three-yuan commemorative coin.

Lin Yuan took a look and said seriously: "What you said makes sense, but it's not because of this thing."

"I know, but I still want to ask you for help with something, Brother Yuan. This is just some payment. Brother Yuan, you know that I really don't need money."

Fang Shiming didn't expect Lin Yuan to reject him, even though the "store manager" obviously loved "money" but was also very stingy.

Surprisingly, you are still so principled?
But he did not give up. The attraction of controlling a complete ghost coffin was too great for him. It was also true that he had no shortage of money, and his friends in the circle never worried about not having money.

But, there is no ghost.

Holding back his heartache, Fang Shiming handed over another three-yuan commemorative coin, "Old Fan listens to you, Brother Yuan, so I think you should still speak up for this matter. Now that Professor Wang has given up, it's no use for Old Fan to keep pestering him. It might even cause trouble."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but nodded secretly when he heard this.

Wang Xiaoming is a professor at the headquarters. If he really angers the other party and uses the headquarters' resources to deal with the Peace Hotel, it will be enough to cause trouble for his small shop.

"You're right. Love matters really can't be forced. Now that you've made a choice, you have to be loyal." Lin Yuan agreed with Fang Shiming's words.

Fang Shiming was immediately delighted and handed over another three-yuan commemorative coin.

As the president of his circle of friends, he was also very knowledgeable about the ways of the world before he became a ghost rider, but there was no need for that later on.

But in the Peace Hotel, he naturally had to pick up this set. After all, it was just an "ordinary little restaurant" and he was just an "ordinary little worker."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan. You can keep the money first. If we really get married in the future, you can consider it as matchmaking money."

After hearing this, Lin Yuan put away the three three-yuan commemorative coins with confidence, "Okay! Since you said so, I won't be polite."

Afterwards, the two returned to the cashier counter, and Lin Yuan said to the ghost: "Old Fan, people should keep their word. Since you didn't refuse just now, that means you agreed. I'm not very clear about emotional matters, after all, I've never been in a relationship, but sometimes you really can't be willful, and you have to consider other people's feelings."

Before he could finish his words, the ghost catcher Lao Fan took off the clothes he was wearing and handed them to Fang Shiming.

Lin Yuan: "..."

I don’t know whether it is good or bad to have such an obedient subordinate.

Fang Shiming took the shirt with great joy, as if he was caressing his lover's skin, and put it on his back happily.

But he suddenly felt that this was inappropriate.

Now that the punishment has been paid...

Fang Shiming suddenly looked at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was startled and instinctively took a step back, looking alert and asking, "Old Fang, what do you mean by this?"

Could it be that this boy has taken a fancy to our store manager?

Does this boss think I want a refund?

Fang Shiming was stunned for a moment, and worried that there would be a misunderstanding, he quickly said: "Brother Yuan, I mean this suit doesn't look good on my back, how about wearing it?"

"This is a matter between you and Lao Fan. You should discuss it among yourselves." Lin Yuan turned around and ignored the situation here.

The ghost messenger Lao Fan seemed a little angry as well. He turned and walked out of the store, continuing to act as a human wooden stake and human door opener at the door.

Fang Shiming: "..."

He had no choice but to put the shirt on his back. Suddenly, he felt his back bent a little more, and even his bones groaned under the heavy burden.

But fortunately, it didn't break.

The ghost coffin was put together again, and a terrifying and powerful force surged into Fang Shiming's heart, mixing with the pain in his body, causing him to groan subconsciously.

The strange sound attracted the attention of most people in the store.

He Yuelian, Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, Xiao An, Xiao Xi, and of course Li Jun and Cao Yang.

Especially this kid Cao Yang, he took out his cell phone at some point and started taking a lot of photos of Fang Shiming, and it wasn’t just photos, it was videos.

Fang Shiming's face suddenly turned red, and he turned around and quickly walked back to the kitchen.

Cao Yang stopped recording and watched the playback with satisfaction. "If Lao Fang dares to cause trouble to me again, I will post his embarrassing photos."

He didn’t post it to his Moments, but to the Ghost Riders Forum. He had even thought of a title:
"The Unknown Love History of the President in the Circle of Friends"!
Who made Fang Shiming always rely on the power of his circle of friends to cause trouble for his uncle, and then post anonymously after returning.

Even if someone guesses it’s me, it doesn’t matter. There’s no direct evidence. The worst that can happen is I can just come and argue with the “store manager” and see who can win!
The reason why Cao Yang was so confident was that his previous action had been seen by Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan did not stop him.
