I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 520 He Who Brings Together the Past, Present, and Future

The news of Caesar Farm's restructuring spread quickly, especially to the headquarters, which attached great importance to the news.

"A drink for normal people? Is the store manager preparing to extend his hand to ordinary people?" Cao Yanhua rubbed his eyebrows, appearing very resistant.

But is resistance useful?
As for what the Peace Hotel does and what the "store manager" does, they can only follow behind and clean up the mess. They have no right to make suggestions or even make demands.

In the past, the target customers of Peace Hotel were ghost riders, and they collected evil spirits. This was not a bad thing but a very good thing, as it could effectively limit the increasing number of supernatural events nowadays.

Even if in the end, the ghost riders and ghosts were wiped out by the Peace Hotel, the benefits would outweigh the disadvantages, or in other words, the benefits would far outweigh the disadvantages.

Even if there are personal feelings between him and Cao Yang, when faced with a choice, Cao Yanhua will make the right decision.

However, the Peace Hotel is now reaching out to ordinary people. What does this mean?
"The last time the white fog ghost domain covered the entire country, I felt something was wrong. It is said that Zhang Xianguang induced the real and complete him in the virtual game, allowing him to reach out to reality. It also indirectly proves his existence in the past. But in the current situation, is there a possibility that he has always had such ambitions and goals, and they are only beginning to show up now?" Zhao Jianguo proposed a possibility.

In fact, this is not the first time that the Peace Hotel conspiracy theory has been proposed.

It’s just that the positive significance of the Peace Hotel’s existence in the past outweighed its negative effects, so everyone tacitly suppressed it and did not take it seriously.

But it's different now.

The Peace Hotel has already shown its intention to attack ordinary people. The alcohol is now in front of everyone and has been tested on people. It does not cause any bad effects on people. On the contrary, it can make people healthy, but it is easy to get drunk. But this involves supernatural items. Who knows what traps are inside?
"It's a pity that Professor Wang has now entered the Peace Hotel and is studying the breeding of evil spirits. He has also been planted with the White Mist Seed. Otherwise, these studies should have been done by him."

"There are quite a few scientific researchers at the headquarters, and there are some who are comparable to Wang Xiaoming. They are currently conducting research, so why are you in such a hurry?"

That is true, but everyone knows that Wang Xiaoming is unique.

If Wang Xiaoming had not been in the advanced stage of cancer, they would not have been able to treat him and would not have allowed the "store manager" to take Wang Xiaoming to the Peace Hotel.

"I've eaten a lot of food at the Peace Hotel, and I didn't feel any difference. If something really happened, I would be the first one to get hurt."

Cao Yanhua interrupted the conversation and said after a glance: "Regarding the decision-making of the Peace Hotel, I will selectively avoid it in the future to avoid suspicion. As for these drinks, let me be the first experimental subject."

"Deputy Minister!"

"minister!"

A group of people suddenly became anxious. You know, there was no news after the minister went abroad, and the headquarters was actually the place where Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua made decisions.

His ability, courage and responsibility have long been recognized by everyone.

Now that he has made such a choice, how can people not be shocked and want to stop him?
"Needless to say, this matter is settled. This so-called new wine contains supernatural powers, which can make people strong and healthy. Getting drunk should be a self-protection mechanism to remind you not to drink anymore."

This kind of analysis is not particularly complicated. Given enough information, anyone with an intelligent IQ should be able to think of it. It’s just a matter of time.

Cao Yanhua is considered to be the smarter one. Although he is old, his mind is still clear.

He looked at everyone with a smile, "Actually, this can be considered a benefit I have sought for myself. After all, I am old and my health is not as good as before. Now that I have this new wine, it is just the right thing to replenish my energy and health."

Everyone had complicated looks. They all knew that Cao Yanhua was trying to have fun despite the hardship, but no one pointed it out and they soon went along with it. The meeting room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

After the meeting, everyone left talking and laughing, but there was a solemn look in their eyes.

After everyone left, Cao Yanhua sat in the conference room. His previous smile was gone. He looked at the new wine in front of him with a complicated expression and sighed slightly.

"Deputy Minister, you're looking for us?"

Li Jun, Wei Jing, Lu Zhiwen, Ah Hong, Zhang Lei and Lin Bei walked in together. In reality, they were severely eroded by the supernatural and had expressionless looks on their faces.

Especially Zhang Lei.

Under the supernatural balance of the ghost furnace fire, he looked like an evil ghost, so he was always wrapped in thick clothes, no matter in winter or summer.

Cao Yanhua had regained his spirits and said in a deep voice, "You should all know about the new wine and Caesar Winery, right?"

Li Jun and others nodded in unison.

Any news about the Peace Hotel is a big deal, especially for Lu Zhiwen, who is responsible for recording supernatural files and knows more about this matter.

Although he usually drives the ghost bus, this does not affect his understanding of the Peace Hotel. In fact, the ghost bus passes by the Peace Hotel at least three times a day and also picks up and drops off some guests who dine at the Peace Hotel, allowing him to learn more news.

All this information came from the guests and can only be considered gossip, but some of it will be useful after all.

For example, he knows more about this new wine than others.

"Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, Ah Hong, you are not participating in the virtual game. You are here as the purest foundation. Tonight's arrangements have no direct relationship with you."

Cao Yanhua said, his eyes swept over Wei Jing, Zhang Lei, and Lin Bei one by one, and finally stopped at Lin Bei, "What do you think, do you want to participate in the game tonight?"

Lin Bei pulled his cap down to hide his big bald head. "If I'm not mistaken, the mission in the virtual game tonight should be to test him, right?"

"That's right. The development of the Peace Hotel is already a little confusing, and the manager's behavior yesterday and today also exceeded his usual character model logic, which is very abnormal. We have reason to suspect that he might have personally taken action. If this is true, the emergence of the new wine is likely to have unknown risks. Facing him, we don't have much ability to resist, but at least we have to find out the truth so that we have time to make adequate preparations for the new future."

After a pause, Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice: "Even if the world is about to be destroyed, we must find a way to leave more fire for the future."

Lin Bei looked solemn and said, "I will participate in the virtual game tonight, but my strength is limited, so I can't be of much help."

"No, you are wrong. The greatest value of virtual games has never been the score cards. Unless one's power reaches a level like him, there is an upper limit that cannot be broken. The ability to control it is just a matter of how much you pay. No matter how strong the power granted by the store manager is, it is limited and cannot exceed the store manager's limit."

Cao Yanhua turned his gaze to Wei Jing and Zhang Lei. "The most valuable thing in the virtual game is the opportunity to talk to Him. Especially when He in the game has the ability to affect reality. What you have to do is to communicate with Him well, whether He affects reality through His own power, or communicates with Him in reality and then uses Him in reality to exert power, or He has simply gathered the past, future and present and exists only in One. This is the most important thing, do you understand?"

Gather the past, the present and the future and become the only one?

How long does it take?

All those present were young people. Except for Li Jun, Wei Jing and Lu Zhiwen who seldom read novels due to some special experiences, Zhang Lei, Lin Bei, Ah Hong and others also understood the meaning of it.

but……

Minister Cao, it turns out you are also a novel fan!
Facing the strange looks from Lin Bei and the others, Cao Yanhua's expression remained unchanged. "Of course, I have to get the points if I have a chance. These points are very important, and the cards that can be exchanged are also very powerful, at least beyond the top ghost riders of this era. Besides communicating with him, this is my biggest goal. Even if I can't get them, I can't let others get them!"

Wei Jing nodded, "I will contact Chen Qiaoyang later. His strength is very helpful in earning points. If we can let him assist us, the next work will be much easier."

"He is now also a member of the headquarters, but you should be aware that there are still some minor problems with his attitude and position. You can't trust him completely, but you can't not trust him either. You have to strike the right balance yourself." Cao Yanhua didn't say much.

He would not make his own judgment about the e-sports room and virtual games to avoid misleading Wei Jing and others. "By the way, we should also pay attention to the movements of the King's Organization. A King with the code name of Pianist has already infiltrated the Peace Hotel... branch and become an employee of the branch. In terms of infiltrating the Peace Hotel, they are ahead of us."

The Peace Hotel is a focus of attention, and so is the Dahai City branch.
There are only He Yuelian and three paper figures in the Dahai City branch. Xiaoru, who had successfully interviewed before, has received some attention because of her relationship with Zhang Bohua, but the attention is not particularly great.

Xiaoru's life trajectory is as transparent as can be in front of the headquarters.

This was a woman who could not be more ordinary. If Zhang Bohua had not been exposed, perhaps her ordinariness would have continued until the day she died.

But now it’s different. Having entered the Peace Hotel, even if it is a branch, she has the qualifications to be taken seriously by the headquarters.

But compared to the pianist, she is undoubtedly much less dangerous.

"First there were the twins, then the manor owner, and then the pianist. On the contrary, the landlord we were paying attention to before did not join in. These foreign guys even used the art of war to secretly attack him?" Lin Bei sighed.

No one would have thought that the pianist did not enter the Peace Hotel voluntarily, or that he was forced to do so.

Although he is also an employee at the Peace Hotel branch, he obviously cannot enter and exit the main store freely like Xiaoru. The headquarters has not yet investigated this clearly, otherwise they would not be so worried.

"No matter what, we can't increase the proportion of the King's Organization in the Peace Hotel. Even if they don't occupy important positions, if most of the positions are occupied by them, it may have some impact on him." Cao Yanhua looked at Li Jun, "You and Ah Hong don't participate in virtual games, but you usually go to the store. When you have time, talk to the store manager about the past history and so on. Let him know how much damage those people from abroad have caused us during the most difficult decades. Do you understand?"

Li Jun and Ah Hong nodded at the same time, especially Li Jun, whose expression was particularly serious.

In fact, compared to the members of the King's Organization, the one who caused the most damage was the island country next door, but the island country is basically ruined now. The island country has not recovered from the trouble caused by Lao Hei, who was just an ordinary watchdog.

And for some unknown reason, after the news from the Peace Hotel was leaked, the people on the island country should have noticed it faster than the King's Organization, and should have even taken the initiative to get involved, but there has been no movement so far.

Could it be that the Peace Hotel has blocked the island country?

If that were true, it would be a good thing.

After chatting for a while, everyone went their separate ways to prepare. The ones who needed the least preparation were Li Jun and Ah Hong.

The two of them have become very skilled at working together, and handling common supernatural incidents is extremely easy for Li Jun, who possesses the ghost fire that can ignite the supernatural.

Regardless of whether there is anything else to do, the imprisoned ghosts will be sent to the Peace Hotel.

They don't go in to eat or anything, they just exchange ghosts for money at the commemorative coin exchange office, and then come back to continue doing their own things. This is also the norm for many ghost riders.

After all, the commemorative coins of the Peace Hotel are more useful than the ghost money of that year.

As long as the ghost receives this commemorative coin, no ghost will be able to escape. Even if they are more terrifying, at most if they are given one or two more, they will give up attacking you.

Now in the psychic circle, the Peace Hotel commemorative coin is too complicated to be called, and it has another name:
Money to buy life!
This time, Li Jun and Ah Hong came to the Peace Hotel with five life-saving money in their pockets. They greeted Guo Fan at the bus stop and walked straight in.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Peace Hotel, the two suddenly stopped.

Just because there is a path here, which leads to the vegetable greenhouse.

This road was blocked before, but now, the path has been opened, and there is a guy with obviously blond hair and blue eyes standing at the intersection, looking at the two of them with a numb expression.

"A foreign ghost rider? Not the owner of the manor?"

Li Jun's pupils shrank slightly. Just at this moment, Chen Qiaoyang also came back from outside. Seeing the bulging bag in his arms, he must have made a lot of money. "Lao Li, Xiaohong, what are you doing here? Do you want to experience farm life?"

Farm life?

"Old Chen, you seem to be very familiar with this... greenhouse?" Li Jun asked.

Chen Qiaoyang smiled kindly, "I'm quite familiar with it. I've been there once or twice. The guy standing at the intersection is the gardener of the manor owner, responsible for welcoming guests. He can only stand here and cannot leave this branch road. Ignore him. Of course, there is nothing good in the vegetable greenhouse, especially the manor owner, who is so stingy. It was agreed that I could pick whatever I wanted and call whatever I wanted after paying money, but he actually went back on his word!"

Speaking of this, Chen Qiao looked indignant.

Li Jun and Ah Hong looked at each other and probably understood that the operation of the vegetable greenhouse of the owner of the manor was far from perfect. They thought to themselves, "With your ability of herding ghosts, who would dare to let you open it?"

But now that we know what's going on here, there's no need to worry too much... or rather, there's no point in worrying. After we go back, we'll let the headquarters decide what to do.

After all, the vegetable greenhouse has already been opened and the "store manager" has allowed it, so what can they do?
It’s Chenqiao Sheep.

"Old Chen, if there is any important news like this in the future, please report it to the headquarters in a timely manner. This way, you can also be credited."

"Okay, got it."

Chen Qiaoyang waved his hand indifferently. He had no feelings for the headquarters. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to find a backer who would make Zhang Xianguang afraid to act rashly, he would not bother with the headquarters.

Now that he has a huge sum of money, he is not worried at all about not being able to live in the Peace Hotel.

But his ultimate goal is to get a job at the Peace Hotel!
It's already afternoon, and business is slow again, but due to the launch of the new wine, there are a dozen more customers at this time today.

But the final outcome of these people was not very good.

If you have three life-saving money tickets, you will be sent to the e-sports room. Unfortunately, they are drunk, and it is uncertain whether they will have a chance to wake up and enter the virtual game. It is basically a waste of money.

If you don’t have three life-saving coins, you will be thrown onto the street and forced to sleep all night.

The temperature here at the Peace Hotel is synchronized with reality. Fortunately, we are all ghost riders, so we basically won’t be frozen to death or killed by heat. We just look a little embarrassed and may be photographed in an ugly manner.

Of course, the new wine has just been released, and this is the white fog ghost zone of the Peace Hotel, so scary things like "picking up corpses" won't happen.

When Chen Qiaoyang just came back, he saw nearly twenty drunkards lying in all directions on the road or on the bus stop.

"Huh? Xiao He? Isn't Xiao Liu here today?" Chen Qiaoyang was a little surprised to see He Yuelian standing behind the cash register. He remembered that when he left in the morning, it was Liu Qingqing who was here.

"She left early because of something." He Yuelian said.

Chen Qiaoyang said "Oh" and didn't say anything more. It was just a casual question anyway, and he didn't really care where Liu Qingqing went.

If he has the spare time, he might as well think about which spiritual place is safer so that he can go there to take advantage of the situation.

At this time, Liu Qingqing was not idle either. She was inspecting a shop on the street of Dadong City. Accompanying her was Wang Chaling, the secret master of this city.

Wang Chaling was dressed in a suit and looked very smart and capable, but he was very gentle when facing Liu Qingqing. "The people living in this neighborhood are all well-known figures in Dadong City, and they basically know something about the supernatural world. Now that the store manager has launched a new wine, I believe that if we open a branch here, the performance will be even better."

Liu Qingqing glanced at the Wang family's ancestral home not far away and said calmly: "The goal of the new wine is to be sold to everyone, not to the rich and powerful."

"But it's also a fact that the output of new wine is too small. The quantity can't keep up. Instead of letting ordinary people grab it, you might as well take this opportunity to improve your own performance first. Isn't this the purpose of you wanting to open a store here?" Wang Chaling asked back.

Liu Qingqing nodded silently.

Unlike He Yuelian, she does not have as many personal resources as he does, and cannot use her family connections to complete a series of operations for opening a store, including promoting wine and beverages.

This is also the basis for her cooperation with Wang Chaling.

Seeing this, Wang Chaling continued, "In the eyes of the store manager, ghosts are hard currency, but gold, as a precious metal, is more valuable than other items. When selling the ghost blood in the fish pond, gold is needed as a container. These materials have always been provided free of charge by Fang Shiming's circle of friends. If the store manager can produce enough himself, he will be less dependent on Fang Shiming."

Liu Qingqing narrowed her eyes. "Why, you've been staying in Dadong City all this time, and you're still competing with your friends for business? Or are you planning to leave Dadong City?"

"It's not that I want to leave. Dadong City is my comfort zone. If possible, I would rather stay here for the rest of my life. But my circle of friends is expanding too fast, and their attitude is very tough, as if Fang Shiming has given them enough confidence. I don't want to conflict with my circle of friends. Peace is the most important thing. After all, I'm just a waste, but others take advantage of this to bully me, so I have to fight back." Wang Chaling said lightly.

Liu Qingqing smiled and said, "It sounds like the friend circle is very strong. I can cooperate with them."

"It's just courting death. If Miss Liu wants to give it a try, I won't stop her. I will only give her my sincere blessing." Wang Chaling still maintained that faint smile.

Liu Qingqing snorted coldly.

Naturally, she would not cooperate with Fang Shiming.

During their time together at the Peace Hotel, she already knew very well what kind of person Fang Shiming was: strong and overbearing, and he seemed to submit to no one except Lin Yuan and the ghost catcher.

But he still has that kind of strength.

If she cooperated with Fang Shiming, she would probably be at an absolute disadvantage and would not be able to get along with Wang Chaling, an ally who seemed to have no desires or demands.

In that case, Liu Qingqing was too lazy to say anything more. "That's it. I'll let you know if there's anything going on in the store. You can come to me if you have something to ask, but don't come to me too often. I find it annoying."

"Please rest assured about this, Miss Liu, but..." Wang Chaling's eyes were burning.

Liu Qingqing did not hesitate and took out two copies of Wang Lu's Diary from her bosom. Then she turned and left. "I'll leave the things here to you. I hope to see results as soon as possible. After all, my time is very tight and I need to quickly close the gap with He Yuelian."

"clear."

Wang Chaling was stroking the two diaries when an illusory figure suddenly appeared behind him. It was the ghost of his father, Wang Lu.

Wang Chaling picked up a diary and handed it over.
