I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 581 The price of inviting him to dinner, the sensible Fang Shiming
Ten dollars to buy Lin Yuanwai a meal?

Why didn’t I think of that!

Fang Shiming's eyes lit up. He seemed not to have thought of this before, or rather, he had thought of it but did not dare to bring it up due to Lin Yuan's strength and terror.

But think about it now.

He is He, and the store manager is the store manager!

"As long as Chen Qiaoyang succeeds, I can do the same! Even for many things, we can invite the store manager over by paying for an invitation. But we also need to be careful, that is, we cannot invite him to fight or deal with any supernatural events, otherwise the consequences will be serious."

The setting of “store manager” is just an ordinary person.

It is naturally impossible for him to provide a service like Didi's proxy service. It does not fit his personality and not only will it not succeed, it may also violate the rules set by him.

But if it's just for eating...

Not only Fang Shiming, but also Tong Qian, who has been very Buddhist recently and trying hard to reduce her presence, and Liu Qingqing at the cashier, all began to have flickering eyes.

They all seemed to be considering the possibility of paying for Lin Yuan to have dinner.

The former is for work, the latter is for life.

If Chen Qiaoyang's head is opened well, there will be a lot of things to do next.

Chen Qiaoyang had no idea that his flash of inspiration had touched the hearts of so many people. He just had no choice but to make the final bet.

Since he couldn't even get a paid job, he knew that his plan to join the Peace Hotel was unlikely to succeed.

But the identity of the head of the headquarters can no longer give him enough sense of security, so he needs new and more powerful protection, such as... the follower of the stepson of the owner of the Peace Hotel?

Xiong Wenwen is a little bit clumsy, but he really takes care of his younger brothers who regard him as their big brother.

Of course, it was impossible for him to accept Xiong Wenwen as his younger brother, but it would be nice to get the identity of a bodyguard if he could really match Xiong Wenwen's mother with the "store manager".

With this favor in mind, I believe that it is impossible for the "store manager" to watch his matchmaker being chopped into pieces and eventually lying dead on the street, right?
Moreover, the last time he met Xiong Wenwen's mother, she was not a particularly opinionated woman, so she could also be influenced.

Maybe, he can influence the future decisions of the "store manager" through this woman?
This is a very profitable business!

He was very excited when he thought that he would be able to achieve this in the future, influence the development and business direction of the Peace Hotel, and influence the decision of the "store manager".

If it really comes to this, he doesn't even need to take the risk of influencing the "store manager". He only needs to leak the news, and then the headquarters, or even Zhang Xianguang, will have to worship him!
Think about that picture:

Chen Qiaoyang sat on the sofa, and Zhang Xianguang stood beside him like a minion, with a flattering smile on his face. He didn't even straighten his back, but bent like an old servant, and didn't dare to speak even a little louder.

That scene made Chen Qiaoyang feel refreshed!

Haha!

Hahahaha!

"Don't go!"

Gah!
Lin Yuan's voice was like a basin of ice water, chilling Chen Qiaoyang to the core.

All his beautiful fantasies were completely shattered at this moment. He was unwilling to give up and asked hurriedly, "Is the money not enough? I can add more, or... how about twenty or thirty?"

Thirty bucks, that's ten ghosts!
This is the greatest sincerity he can show at the moment. In order to have such an opportunity, he has tried his best and taken out all his collections!

Lin Yuan snorted coldly and did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked Tong Qian to take Xiong Wenwen aside first.

Xiong Wenwen didn't want to leave. He also wanted to hear Lin Yuan's reason for refusing to have dinner with his mother. After all, there was money to be gained, so why would he refuse?
However, facing Tong Qian's serious expression, he... obeyed his heart.

"This woman is even scarier than Xiao Cao!"

Xiong Wenwen may be a bear, but he is actually quite perceptive.

His bear will only deal with people he can afford to provoke. When he was at the headquarters, Cao Yanhua and other senior executives treated him like a treasure, so he looked at most of the headquarters leaders as if they were garbage.

If you don't like it, you can hit me and I'll block it!

If you have the guts, then go ahead and hit me!

The flexible bottom line obtained through repeated tests made Xiong Wenwen more and more arrogant and complacent.

But it was different in the Peace Hotel. He only dared to act coquettishly to Lin Yuan when Lin Yuan was in a good mood, and he didn't dare to be really tough. But when facing other people in the hotel?
Ah!
Originally, he could still be a little bit tough with Tong Qian, but today, looking at Tong Qian's serious face and determined eyes, he suddenly realized one thing:

"This woman is no longer a target for me to bully!"

Tong Qian was once an undercover agent sent to the Peace Hotel by headquarters.

Now Tong Qian also serves as the person in charge of the headquarters, and is also fully responsible for the headquarters' undercover work in the Peace Hotel. As far as the famous restaurant is concerned, the driver Guo Fan has to obey her arrangements.

But in fact?
Tong Qian had never stayed overnight at the Peace Hotel, but even during the day, the encroachment of the white fog ghost domain could only be said to be extremely low, but not non-existent.

Over time, Tong Qian has not changed herself, but her loyalty to the Peace Hotel has increased a lot, even exceeding her attitude towards the headquarters.

Therefore, she would carry out Lin Yuan's arrangements without any compromise.

Xiong Wenwen was so well-behaved in front of Tong Qian, even more sensible than in front of Cao Yang, which surprised Lin Yuan a little, but he was also very happy to see this scene: "Next time this naughty kid comes, let Tong Qian take care of him."

Having determined Xiong Wenwen's future "tragic fate", Lin Yuan turned his attention to Chen Qiaoyang.

This is a very sensible guy who actually knows how to use money to attack people. This is indeed what Lin Yuan is happy to see. Otherwise, everyone would keep the money in their pockets and not spend it, which would be a waste of resources.

So we can't discourage this kid's enthusiasm.

"Xiao Chen, I know what you're thinking, but it's impossible for me to be with Xiao Xiong's mother. If I hadn't thought that Xiao Xiong was going to die last time, I would have gone to see his mother. After seeing him, I confirmed one thing, that is, his mother and I are indeed not the same kind of people, and it's impossible for us to be together. Besides, Xiao Xiong's current condition is very stable, and he won't face a life threat in the short term. In this case, I don't have to sacrifice myself like that. Do you understand what I mean?"

This was a very direct and straightforward rejection. Chen Qiaoyang couldn't help but understand it and felt a little disappointed.

But he suddenly heard another meaning, "Boss Lin, you mean as long as we don't go to eat with the child's mother, everything else is fine?"

"Of course, I'm not a saint. If someone invites me to dinner, I'll naturally go. What's more, there's money to be made?"

Lin Yuan said as a matter of course, which instantly perked up the people present who were paying attention to the conversation. Then Chen Qiaoyang continued to ask a question that everyone was concerned about: "Then I wonder what price you would like to ask Mr. Lin to have a meal?"

Lin Yuan said: "Didn't you mention it just now?"

Chen Qiaoyang immediately gave an answer: "Ten yuan?"

"You can guess again."

Lin Yuan's face darkened, and his voice became somewhat dangerous. Even the air around him became a little suppressed. Behind him, a huge angry face composed of light white mist vaguely appeared.

Chen Qiaoyang felt as if his whole body had fallen into an ice cellar. His instinct for survival finally made him remember the correct number: "Three... No, fifty, fifty yuan! It will cost fifty yuan to treat you, Boss Lin, to dinner!"

"Well, children can be taught."

Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction. At the same time, the terrifying face disappeared as the mist dissipated, and the terrible sense of oppression in the air also disappeared without a trace. "But this is not because I am greedy. You have to know that as the owner of the Peace Hotel, I usually have to stay in the store to ensure the smooth operation of the business. If I leave and go to eat, it will definitely affect the business of the store, so this fee is the store loss fee, do you understand?"

"understand."

At this time, no matter what Lin Yuan said, Chen Qiaoyang would only nod his head, but then he smiled bitterly, "But Boss Lin, I don't have that much money, so I may not be able to treat Boss Lin to dinner today."

The thirty dollars he quoted before was already the limit of his financial resources.

Now in order to survive, he raised the price to fifty yuan, which was simply not something he could afford now. Even if he pawned his four most important ghosts, he still couldn't raise that much money.

If he had to treat Lin Yuan to a meal, could he still deny the debt in front of this big boss?

So, he knelt down obediently.

At the same time, he was praying that Lin Yuan would not miss him because of this, otherwise he really would not be able to continue playing.

His worries were unnecessary. Not only did Lin Yuan not miss him, but he became more and more satisfied with Chen Qiaoyang. "They raised the price of inviting me to dinner to 50 yuan at one time. This is a little less than the daily turnover of the store. It's very good. And everyone is obviously tempted. It seems that I am still very attractive!"

Looking at the shining eyes of Fang Shiming, Liu Qingqing, and even Tong Qian, Lin Yuan knew that he had achieved his goal.

"Boss Lin, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

This was the first time that Chen Qiaoyang was so anxious to leave the Peace Hotel. In the past, he always wanted to stay in the Peace Hotel and never leave.

There was even a time when he did just that.

If he had not had the opportunity to join the headquarters later, I believe Zhang Xianguang would have been afraid of the headquarters' authority and would not dare to take action against himself, and he would not have left the Peace Hotel.

Unfortunately, the headquarters couldn't give Chen Qiaoyang a sense of security. Xiong Wenwen's path was doomed to fail, so he could only choose the simplest and most direct way, which was also the most expensive, so he had to raise money quickly.

"Zhang Xianguang left in such a hurry, and he even said he was going to dig a grave. It must be that one of his relatives or friends is about to pass away, and it must be a very important one. He needs to rush over to help deal with the aftermath, so he shouldn't wait outside the store for me to leave.

We must seize this opportunity, otherwise there may not be such a good opportunity in the future."

Chen Qiaoyang wanted to leave, but Xiong Wenwen was unwilling to leave because she had not achieved her goal, so she was directly picked up by Chen Qiaoyang, just like Cao Yang had picked up Xiong Wenwen before.

But he is not Cao Yang after all.

Xiong Wenwen was not well behaved at all. He struggled before he achieved his goal. "I won't leave! Xiao Chen, quickly let me down. You are not keeping your word. I don't want to play with you anymore. I want to go find Lao Zhang and play with him!"

Chen Qiaoyang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Hearing Xiong Wenwen's straightforward words, he even felt like he was being raped by a crowd of people, and shame suddenly surged up in his heart.

"You should be thankful that this is the Peace Hotel!"

Chen Qiaoyang's eyes were vicious, and he had lost all patience with Xiong Wenwen, who was of no use to him. It was this look that made Xiong Wenwen realize this.

"This... is the Peace Hotel!"

Thinking of this, Xiong Wenwen opened her mouth and shouted, "Brother Yuan, save me! This Xiao Chen is trafficking children, he is a bad guy, Brother Yuan, please save me!"

"Okay, okay, Xiao Chen, wait a moment."

As soon as Lin Yuan opened his mouth, Xiong Wenwen laughed triumphantly, "I knew that Brother Yuan cared about me the most. Xiao Chen, why don't you put me down quickly? Believe it or not, I will take care of you!"

With Lin Yuan as his support, he became bold again.

Chen Qiaoyang looked unhappy. Just as he was about to put Xiong Wenwen down, he heard Lin Yuan suddenly say, "This child is a little noisy. Xiaotong, come and take care of him."

"No!"

Xiong Wenwen was extremely sad, as if Tong Qian was going to eat him.

Unfortunately, crying and making a fuss in front of Lin Yuan would have no effect. He only said, "Then you should be honest. Xiao Chen brought you here, and you turned around and slandered him? This is not a good habit. Xiao Chen, when you go back, talk to his mother and the headquarters and ask them to discipline the child. Since his life is not in danger, you should teach him the principles of being a human being. Excessive indulgence will only harm the child."

What?
Xiong Wenwen widened her eyes, unable to believe what she heard.

But Chen Qiaoyang heard it, and excitedly tightened Xiong Wenwen's clothes in his hand, saying: "Okay, Boss Lin, I know what to do. Now I will take this kid with me, so you don't need to trouble Xiaotong anymore."

"Okay! Then I'll tell you in advance that if you want to treat me to a meal, you have to prepare some suitable food. I'm a bit picky about food, so you might be accused of not giving me face." Lin Yuan said seriously.

"This is natural."

Chen Qiaoyang agreed immediately, and when he saw that Lin Yuan had nothing else to do, he took Xiong Wenwen away.

At this time, Fang Shiming suddenly came up and said with a chuckle, "Brother Yuan, I want to treat you to a meal, too. I wonder when you are free? Of course, I will follow the rules. It will cost fifty yuan, and I will also have dishes that suit your taste, Brother Yuan."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know what kind of food is suitable for me?"

"Of course I know. It's in the store."

Fang Shiming said this as a matter of course, and this was something he had thought about carefully.

Judging from Lin Yuan's behavior just now, he clearly regarded the invitation to dinner as an opportunity to make money, and he asked for fifty yuan just for this opportunity!

Although this price was proposed by Chen Qiaoyang, if Lin Yuan is not willing, it can still be negotiated.

In addition to this, he also specifically mentioned that the dishes must suit his taste. Who would believe me if I said this was also for the purpose of making money?
Chen Qiaoyang left in such a hurry that he didn't think about it carefully. It might also be that he didn't have enough money at the moment, so he didn't dare to delve into it any further. Even if he guessed it, it would be the same. Otherwise, if he really asked a price that he couldn't afford, how could he continue?
Although it was unclear why Chen Qiaoyang invited Lin Yuan to dinner, Fang Shiming really had his own ideas, and he still had enough savings now.

Even if there isn't, can't we find a way?
Chen Qiaoyang, you are still too stupid!

"Okay, as long as you are sincere, I can do it."

"Can you invite other people to join us?"

"no problem."

Lin Yuan agreed. He wanted to see what Fang Shiming wanted to do, so when Fang Shiming asked for leave next time, he agreed immediately.

Anyway, it’s still early and there’s no need for a helper to help in the kitchen.

After Fang Shiming left, he went straight back to Ping An Building in Dajing City.

The current circle of friends has undergone great changes compared to before. The most direct point is that veteran members such as He Tianxiong and Jiang Shangbai are all dead.

Fang Shiming had to manage the relationships and identity of the Peace Hotel, so he handed over most of the affairs in his circle of friends.

Mr. Fei and Li Yao.

These two ordinary people became the actual managers of the circle of friends. Even the ghost riders in the circle could only discuss things together and did not dare to confront them.

At least no one dared to do so until Fang Shiming showed weakness.

So after Fang Shiming returned, he called his assistant Li Yao over and said, "Contact the headquarters, the Supernatural Forum, and the Wang family in Dadong City for me. I need an online meeting about the Peace Hotel. Wait, contact Yang Jian in Dachang City as well."

He remembered that after Yang Jian's father Yang Xiaotian died, he left a ghost body in the Ghost Post Office, and Zhang Xianguang's ghost body was also in the Ghost Post Office.

If that were all, he wouldn't care so much.

What he really cared about was that Yang Xiaotian came to the Peace Hotel two days ago in the Gengshen year, which also meant that Yang Jian had gone from being a lonely man to a contemporary heir of the Yang family with a background and heritage.

The most important thing is that a man like Yang Jian should have quite a few collections.

Li Yao didn't know the reason, but as an assistant she didn't ask any more questions and agreed immediately.

The influence of the circle of friends remains the same today. Even if only Fang Shiming stands out, it is enough to intimidate all forces, just like there is only Ye Zhen who can make a name for himself in the supernatural forum.

This is the way it is today.

A top-notch ghost rider is enough to support a force. When he is strong enough, even the stationery headquarters will be wary of him.

Soon, the news that Fang Shiming, president of WeChat Moments, was going to hold an online video conference spread.

"What is Fang Shiming trying to do? Shouldn't he be at work now? Or is it that he is actually being instructed by the store manager to do this and is preparing to cause trouble in real life?"

The atmosphere at the headquarters, which had been quite relaxed, became tense after Fang Shiming's message was passed on.

Cao Yanhua, who had stayed up late last night, had just woken up and had to rush to the scene to preside over the work. "Didn't you say what the specific reason was?"

"No, they just said that they invited some people. In addition to us, there are also the Supernatural Forum in Dahai City, the Wang family in Dadong City, and Yang Jian in Dachang City." Zhao Jianguo replied immediately.

Dahai City Supernatural Forum?
Ye Zhen is still missing. In the supernatural forum, there is only one person named Awu who is relatively famous, but he is not considered to be on the same level as Fang Shiming.

Wang family in Dadong City?
This is possible. Although the news that Wang Cha Ling is an ordinary person has long spread, as long as there is blood inheritance and the evil spirits transformed by the two generations of the Wang family, Wang Cha Ling is a top ghost rider. The Wang family is also fully qualified to add the three words "Dadong City" in front of their name, representing their control over Dadong City.

But what about Yang Jian?
Even though Yang Jian is quite capable and has become one of the twelve captains of the headquarters through his own efforts in just a few months, he is still far behind his friends.

"Maybe, it's because of Yang Xiaotian?"

When Yang received the call from his friends, he had the same doubts. "I didn't expect that my father had been dead for many years, but I could still enjoy his legacy. It was like a ghost dream... Or maybe it was because of the father from forty years ago in the Peace Hotel? It seems that I have to attend this online meeting."

Ah Wu from the Supernatural Forum also got the news. "There's no news about Ye Zhen right now, so Fang Shiming can't be unaware of it. So this invitation is for me? Well, I want to see what he wants to say. He can't take over our Supernatural Forum while Ye Zhen is away, right? I have to protect this foundation well."

In Dadong City, Wang Chaling had just returned from the Peace Hotel.

Although the memory of his father that year did not completely change his mind and make him no longer averse to becoming a ghost rider and accepting blood inheritance, it also made him understand his father better.

He doesn’t care about gossip or anything like that… ahem!
As a son, he couldn't talk too much about his father's past, so he could only think about it in his heart and occasionally look at the dead soul Wang Lu who was following him.

Then, Secretary Azhen came over with an invitation from her friend Li Yao.

"Fang Shiming invited me to an online meeting? I'm not a member of his circle of friends. What kind of meeting is worth asking me to attend? It's really weird."

Ah Zhen asked, "Do I need to refuse?"

"That's not necessary. He is an employee of the Peace Hotel after all. If he is representing the manager's will this time, I have to listen carefully to what he wants to say."

Wang Chaling is very curious now.

In this atmosphere, an hour passed quickly and it was time for Fang Shiming to hold an online meeting. The invited people or representatives of the forces also appeared in a video call one after another.
