I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 554: On the Road! Wang Chaling's Taunting

"In order to become a ghost messenger, Fang Shiming, he was willing to marry a ghost, and he had to go through all the ceremonies and carry the bride on his back? A ghost messenger bride? A ghost bride?"

Lin Yuan was very moved, "This Fang Shiming is really bold! This ghost messenger is not a female ghost, but a male ghost! Such a person is so cruel to himself, he deserves his success!
If he can really do this, then I can help him. After all, even if the ghost gets into the coffin on his back, it is still a puzzle of the hotel. As long as this does not change, then everything is fine. "

Lin Yuan naturally gave considerable respect to ruthless people, and weddings were actually quite interesting to think about. His restaurant had been open for so long, and he only held a banquet for Zhang Xianguang, and there had been no large-scale banquets since then.

There is new wine now.

If you can hold a wedding banquet, not only will it be lively, but you can also earn a lot of income!
The only thing to worry about is whether Fang Shiming's circle of friends has the ability to gather enough ghosts to pay for the wedding.

In comparison, Lin Yuan didn't care too much about Liu Qingqing's vying for favor and left it to the separated part of his consciousness to handle.

In the lobby on the first floor, Liu Qingqing was reporting on the affairs of the Dadong City branch to the "store manager".

"Everything is basically ready for the branch store. The only problem is manpower. I have some friends I met before. I told you last time, Brother Yuan. They are in a county town. I plan to invite them to come and become clerks of the branch store. Is that okay?"

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said, "I remember. I did mention it last time. I originally wanted to send him to the Dahai City branch to work as a clerk, but later Xiao He felt that there were enough people, so he didn't mention it again."

He glanced at Liu Qingqing and said with a smile: "Can they come here now?"

"As long as I invite them, there shouldn't be any big problem. It's just that their personalities are a little weird, so it might take some time. By the way, you've been in the store all the time and rarely go out. Do you want to come with me this time? If I'm alone, what if I meet bad guys?" Liu Qingqing said pitifully.

Met a bad guy?

Lin Yuan took out his cell phone from his arms and said, "I'll tell you a few numbers. They belong to Lao Li and his gang. If you really run into bad guys, remember to call them."

Li Jun and his colleagues are law enforcement officers, city leaders, and team leaders, so there is naturally no problem for them to handle these matters.

Liu Qingqing said unhappily, "Brother Yuan, can't you go with me?"

How could Lin Yuan not know Liu Qingqing's little thoughts? She just wanted him to go over and have some experiences with her to enhance their relationship.

How could he have the time to care about these love affairs?
She wasn't the kind of woman who could make him fall in love with her at first sight, so it was naturally impossible for him to give up his career and accompany her to the county town to find someone.

Wouldn't it be nice for him to rest in the store instead of taking a break?
"Actually I just stay at home and don't want to move around!"

A voice suddenly popped up in his heart, making Lin Yuan look a little embarrassed, but looking at Liu Qingqing's expectant and aggrieved eyes, he suddenly felt an impulse.

Of course, he didn't hug Liu Qingqing into his arms, but, "Okay, then I'll go with you, but the place can't be too far."

……

On the third floor, Lin Yuan was looking at the situation in the lobby on the first floor. "Where does Liu Qingqing have any helpers? They must be Zhang Youhong's helpers. Are there several people in that county who have also been sleeping since the Republic of China period?
According to the memories of the mysterious resurrection, these people should have died, leaving only a part of their consciousness. They look like normal people, but it is only because their memories have not completely dissipated that they behave like this. In fact, they are deader than dead.

However, awareness alone is enough.

If they were still alive, I could even borrow Shen Lin's supernatural powers, invade their memories, and go back to the Republic of China period?

There shouldn't be any problem with this. Just like Meng Xiaodong and the others, they are all the media I need. But the most important thing is to push the foundation of my existence forward. Otherwise, even if I have the media, I still can't get through it, because that era without me will make me lost in my memory."

……

"Great, thank you Brother Yuan!"

Liu Qingqing jumped up happily, like a little girl, and hugged Lin Yuan's arm, but she was very sensible and kept a distance, and did not try to tempt him with any contact. "Brother Yuan, don't worry, it's just a small county town, not far from the store. It only takes...more than half an hour to take the bus."

In the past, when Lin Yuan traveled, no matter which city he was going to, it would take him half an hour.

Liu Qingqing and Zhang Youhong had discussed this time, but they did not find any problems or special things. However, they were sure that this time was definitely not simple.

So in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Liu Qingqing reported the time cautiously, and of course also gave a certain margin to avoid unnecessary accidents.

"More than half an hour? Okay, let's go. But we won't take the bus. Let Xiao Guo drive us there."

There was a taxi in the store, and Lin Yuan would only take the bus when he had nothing to do. Liu Qingqing did not refuse, and even thought it was better this way.

There’s no one else around (Guo Fan: Am I not a human being?), maybe she can get closer to the “store manager”, hehe!
There was no need to make too many other arrangements. Lin Yuan took Liu Qingqing out of the store and went on a spontaneous recruitment trip.

The moment Lin Yuan walked out, the hellhound Lao Hei and the starving ghost Lao Hua squatting at the door stood up immediately, and the four pairs of dogs showed human expectations in their eyes.

Lin Yuan's heart moved slightly, and then he glanced at the two dogs, waved to the three-headed hellhound, Lao Hei, and said, "Lao Hei, let's go together."

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Lao Hei immediately spread out its four legs and trotted to Lin Yuan's side. The three dog heads rubbed against Lin Yuan's trouser legs, appearing to be very intimate.

The old man lay back on the ground with a wronged look, his pitiful eyes made people feel soft-hearted.

Lin Yuan found it very funny, but after all, it was his own dog, and he was the kind that worked hard without complaint, so he naturally couldn't take it lightly, so he said:
"Lao Hua, if there are customers coming to the store, you will be needed to welcome them. This is a very important task. If you complete it well, I will give you chicken drumsticks when I come back."

“Welcome~”

Lao Hua finally regained some spirit, and its barking was completely different from Lao Hei's. It was not the barking of a dog at all, but instead became a welcoming sound.

Puff!

Liu Qingqing watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Yuan, I know why you brought Lao Hei but not Lao Hua. Lao Hua's cry is really... indispensable."

"That's right. With it here, the store has gained a lot of customers." Lin Yuan agreed with this.

The "Welcome~" of the Starving Ghost Laohua is so accurate that no matter if it hits a person or a ghost, no one can escape.

Although Lao Hei wants more dog heads, he really won't shout that.

It can be imagined that as long as Lao Hua's shouting has not disappeared and Lao Hei has not learned this ability, then when Lin Yuan needs to take a dog with him when he goes out in the future, he will only take Lao Hei with him and not Lao Hua.

On the roadside, the Ghost Peddler of Gengshen Year was still squatting there, but judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he did not have much business.

Lin Yuan nodded as he passed by, but didn't say much, and the ghost peddler also didn't make any moves, which made Liu Qingqing a little confused, "Brother Yuan, will he always be in front of our store from now on?"

"It's not easy for a peddler to travel from town to town. If he wants to come, he can come. He won't take up any space anyway."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he saw that Liu Qingqing seemed to be thinking about something, so he reminded her, "Of course, if he wants to come to the store to spend money, he must follow the store's rules. The price is the price, understand?"

"I understand." Liu Qingqing nodded obediently.

Soon the two of them walked out of the bluestone path. Guo Fan was still resting in the ghost taxi until Lin Yuan came over and knocked on the window. He then hurried out and said in panic, "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, I..."

"It's okay. Just take a good rest when there's no business. When there's work, work hard."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and then sat in the co-pilot seat. "Let's go. We need to go out for a while. Let Xiao Liu tell you the specific place."

"Yes."

Guo Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the "store manager" didn't blame him, it would be fine. But when he looked at Liu Qingqing, he found that Liu Qingqing had a face full of resentment. "Xiao Liu?"

Can you call me Xiao Liu?

Liu Qingqing snorted coldly, opened the back door and sat in.

Guo Fan: "???"

The Ghost Taxi started quickly. After Liu Qingqing reported the name of a county town, Guo Fan drove the Ghost Taxi along the road covered with white fog.

Guo Fan didn't know where this county town was, and he had never even heard of its name, but that didn't stop him from driving on the road.

According to past experience, as long as he drives on this road for more than half an hour, he will reach his destination.

After getting in the car, Lin Yuan closed his eyes and rested, which made Liu Qingqing sigh, "Brother Yuan is really something. He didn't even give me a chance. Am I really that bad?"

"Don't belittle yourself. Just look at He Yuelian. She is so perfect that she is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but she still doesn't get his favor. Maybe he has his own ideas. Or maybe he is secretly influencing him, not letting him indulge in love affairs, but focusing all his attention on running the restaurant."

Zhang Youhong hid in Liu Qingqing's consciousness and spoke without restraint, not even having any scruples when mentioning "him".

This frightened Liu Qingqing, but fortunately nothing unexpected happened. She breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily, "You mentioned him in front of the White Mist Seed. Aren't you afraid that he will hear you?"

"If he can really hear through the white mist seed, it doesn't matter. I didn't say anything bad about him. I was just stating a fact." Zhang Youhong said indifferently. The two chatted like this, and the ghost taxi was driving on the road covered by white mist.

At the same time, Wang Chaling came to the opposite side of his old house, which was also the location of the Peace Hotel branch he had prepared.

Time is a bit tight, but it doesn't matter.

With the money, people and pressure in place, it would not be difficult to recreate a Peace Hotel.

However, to be on the safe side, Wang Chaling came in person and checked the branch again in detail, but no problems were found.

Soon his phone rang. After listening to his assistant's report, he frowned and said, "Bring them over."

Not long after, a car drove up to the door of the branch. Li Jun and Ah Hong got out of the car together. They both frowned when they saw the branch.

"This Wang Cha Ling really wants to cooperate with Liu Qingqing." Ah Hong sighed softly.

Three generations of the Wang family have been operating in Dadong City for hundreds of years. Their background is so terrifying that the headquarters had to hand over full authority over Dadong City to Wang Chaling.

However, the headquarters has never neglected the collection of information and intelligence on Dadong City.

Especially the recent virtual games, which have proved that the first and second generations of the Wang family have had a lot of contact with the manager of the Peace Hotel in the past few decades.

And it’s not contact with the “store manager”, but contact with the store manager, with Him!
In addition, in the Gengshen year, Wang Lu and his wife and Yang Xiaotian appeared at the Peace Hotel and had formal contact with these people, which made the headquarters pay more attention to Dadong City.

Although Wang Chaling is one of the twelve captains of the headquarters and controls Dadong City, it is not difficult for the headquarters to monitor what happens here.

What's more, Wang Chaling did not hide anything.

Regarding the renovation of the Peace Hotel branch, they are even more open. Although it is not known to everyone, as long as you pay a little attention, you can find the news here.

Li Jun and Ah Hong also learned all this from the information at the headquarters before coming here today.

Only when he really got here did Li Jun feel more and more solemn, even uneasy. "If Wang Chaling just wants to cooperate, then it's fine. People who died forty years ago reappeared. Although their memories cannot be taken away from the hotel, they can be purchased with money. No one knows how far the Wang family will go."

"Yes! In past records, there is not much information about the first and second generations of the Wang family. We can only know their personalities through a few words. We have no idea what they did or what happened. Although Wang Chaling is more Buddhist, he always gives people a sense of danger. I hope they don't do anything harmful." Ah Hong said softly.

After chatting for a few words, the two stopped because Wang Chaling had already walked out of the store and invited them in with a smile on his face.

Li Jun and Ah Hong did not refuse, nor were they worried about whether Wang Chaling would take action.

They are teammates now, and with Wang Chaling's cautious character, the probability of him attacking them is very small. Even if Wang Chaling really attacks them, they are not without the ability to fight back.

"Captain Li, Ah Hong, you just recovered and you came to me. Is there something important?" Wang Chaling asked his assistant to pour tea and then asked.

Li Jun, Lu Zhiwen, Fang Shiming, and Yang Jian all fell into a coma because they "smuggled" into the virtual game, Hongming Village, and Taiping Ancient Town.

I went to the Peace Hotel and paid the "protection fee" before he released me.

According to the time calculation, Li Jun and Ah Hong have been awake for about an hour at most, no more. However, they are not in Dajing City now, but in Dadong City.

What's the matter that requires them to be so anxious?
Wang Chaling pondered in his heart and had a rough answer. Sure enough, he heard Li Jun say, "Regarding your father's matter, we want to make a record registration."

The assistant has already made the tea.

Wang Cha Ling did not speak immediately. Instead, he leisurely picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he narrowed his eyes, as if he was savoring the aroma of the tea.

After a long time, just when Ah Hong was getting impatient, he finally spoke slowly, "My father and mother are already dead, why do we need to register? Headquarters, are you not even letting the dead go? My father's diary is still in the hands of several people in charge of the headquarters. As a son, I have to pay a price to read my deceased father's diary. Captain Li, do you think this is too sad?"

Li Jun glanced at him and didn't respond at all. Instead, he continued, "The headquarters only needs the memories of the Peace Hotel and its manager. Your father's privacy will not be involved. For this reason, when you, Captain Wang, purchase the memories, the headquarters is willing to bear half of the cost."

Wang Chaling paused as he held the teacup in his hand and sighed helplessly, "I now understand why the headquarters asked you, Captain Li, to come here."

He is an ordinary person. Although he has a blood curse, he still maintains the status of an ordinary person and is used to discussing things in this identity.

Although it is flexible enough, it is not direct enough.

As soon as Li Jun arrived, he directly quoted the price. Whether to agree or not was up to Wang Chaling.

Wang Chaling was even very clear that the price given by Li Jun was definitely the bottom line given by the headquarters. Even if they continued to negotiate, there would be no possibility of gaining more.

After a moment of silence, Wang Chaling extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

Li Jun was stunned for a moment, obviously not used to this kind of communication.

When he was still an ordinary person, shaking hands was a common thing, but since he became a ghost rider, he changed this habit.

Ordinary people are wary of him.

Including the staff at the headquarters, when they saw the ghost handlers' eyes, although they did not look like they were looking at aliens, they were unwilling to have any physical contact with them.

It seemed as if she was afraid of being burned by his will-o'-the-wisp.

When facing the supernatural, it is even more impossible for him to take the initiative to reach out and touch it. No one knows what the consequences of contact will be. If he is attacked because of this contact, it would be too much of a loss.

But now, he still stretched out his hand and shook it, and then he heard Wang Chaling ask: "Did you negotiate this price with Yang Jian from Dachang City?"

"Yes." Li Jun replied.

Seeing that Wang Chaling had no other opinions, Ah Hong spoke again, "Captain Wang, have you already reached an agreement with Liu Qingqing to open a branch store together?"

"Why, Miss Ah Hong is also interested?" Wang Chaling asked with a smile.

Ah Hong shook her head. "Captain Wang, you are joking. I don't have that much capital to open a branch. But Captain Wang, you have to think carefully. What is the current situation in Dahai City? Captain Wang, you must know it, right?"

Dahai City is still full of peach blossoms, and has become famous throughout the country, becoming a place where countless people travel and yearn for.

Recently, there has been a constant stream of news about the peach blossom rain in Dahai City on the Internet.

As a city where peach blossoms rain for a long time, the popularity of Dahai City has never dropped, and the happiness of residents living in Dahai City has also been greatly improved as shown in public opinion polls.

Dahai City once experienced a ghost grave incident, and was feared and dreaded by countless people. But now, because of the peach blossom rain, the former terror is gradually disappearing.

Dahai City has regained its vitality and is reborn from the ashes!

In the eyes of ordinary people, this was an extremely successful and outstanding operation that was achieved at great cost by the managers of Dahai City.

But in the eyes of ghost riders like Li Jun and Ah Hong, it is a terrifying place, a place that is always shrouded in ghost paintings, or in other words, the horror of the ghost realm of the Peace Hotel!
There, at least, it no longer completely belongs to reality.

If another branch is opened in Dadong City, it will probably be like Dahai City, completely shrouded in the ghost domain of the Peace Hotel, with either peach blossom rain or something else.

In any case, the control of Dadong City will no longer belong entirely to Wang Chaling, but to their Wang family.

Dahai City had no experience in the past, otherwise the headquarters would never have made it so easy for He Yuelian and the He family to do things so well, so that Dahai City is now completely in a ghost town.

Even though life in Dahai City is going on as usual now and seems to be unaffected, everyone knows that as long as He Yuelian is interested and as long as the "store manager" is willing, everything in Dahai City will be overturned!

According to the situation in Dahai City, Liu Qingqing, as the nominal person in charge of the branch here, will also have the same authority as He Yuelian.

In other words, Dahai City might also implement Liu Qingqing's will at that time.

Wang Chaling, is he really willing to do this?

"It's a little late to say this now." Wang Chaling shook his head, his eyes far away, "You two must know the location of these virtual games, right? During the virtual games, his white fog ghost domain has always covered Dadong City. Moreover, you two should also know what the rules of the virtual games are. The current Dadong City has been affected by his supernatural powers countless times. Even if I don't do this, can I stop all this from happening?"

His tone was flat, and no emotion could be heard, but the unwillingness and helplessness in his voice could not be ignored.

Li Jun and Ah Hong looked at each other and said nothing more. They quickly returned to Dajing City with the agreement they had made. The way they returned was:

Turn into a rainbow!

Green flames streaked across the sky, and Wang Chaling just watched this scene, his eyes calm, without any resentment, "The people at the headquarters still haven't seen the situation clearly, and they are still thinking about limiting his power. It's really stupid. Or is it not that they don't understand, but that they don't want to understand?

That's true. No one wants to give up what they have, and no one wants to become the embers of the old times. Let's see how long you can hold on, and whether you will mock my choice again."
