I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 582 Fang Shiming: Study hard, this is how business should be done!

Cao Yanhua, A Wu, Wang Chaling, Yang Jian.

These are the people who appeared in the chat video after accepting Fang Shiming’s invitation. They have different identities, and there is even an ordinary person.

But there was a flicker in Awu's eyes when he looked at Cao Yanhua, and it was obvious that he was feeling very guilty.

Fortunately, this was just a video conference, and it was impossible to find out who was looking at whom. When Cao Yanhua saw Awu, he sighed inwardly, and then there was no further news.

In response, Fang Shiming just wanted to laugh.

He also knew the situation in Dahai City. At the beginning, Awu was the person in charge sent to Dahai City by the headquarters.

As the most economically developed city in the country, the importance of Dahai City is self-evident. The fact that Awu was sent there to be the person in charge is enough to show that his strength and position are absolutely in line with the requirements of the headquarters, and he is not even inferior to Li Jun, Wei Jing and others who stayed behind in the headquarters.

But the result?
Not long after Awu took charge of Dahai City, a scapegoat, Ye Zhen, and a supernatural forum appeared in Dahai City.

A Wu was even better. He directly left the team of leaders at the headquarters and helped Ye Zhen manage the supernatural forum, and used the supernatural forum to cut off Dahai City.

This allowed Dahai City to directly break away from the headquarters' sequence and become a unique existence.

When Fang Shiming first learned about this, he did not believe it immediately. Instead, he asked someone to investigate. Later, he found that the truth was indeed not as simple as it seemed.

It seems that it was Awu who betrayed the headquarters. After finding Ye Zhen, a middle school student with a second-year syndrome, he became ambitious and set up a supernatural forum, letting Ye Zhen take the lead and challenge the headquarters, while he controls the actual power.

But what about the real situation?

The headquarters arranged such a drama in order to control Ye Zhen, the scapegoat whose potential and strength have reached a certain level. Even the conflict between Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming in the end was secretly promoted by the headquarters.

The purpose is to strike Fang Shiming and his circle of friends, so as to find an opportunity to completely free the headquarters from the influence of his circle of friends.

However, the headquarters at that time did not know who was stronger between Ye Zhen and Fang Shiming. In order to avoid a direct breakup, they did not persuade Ye Zhen to join the headquarters.

Otherwise, with Ye Zhen's mentality at that time, there might not be a supernatural forum, but instead a Ye Zhen, the person in charge of Dahai City, would have appeared directly!
In this way, even if Ye Zhen loses to Fang Shiming, it cannot be blamed on the headquarters. It can be said to be a very cost-effective deal.

Unfortunately, the headquarters never expected that Ye Zhen would eventually grow to this level. Not only did he suppress Fang Shiming, but he also escaped the control of the headquarters.

Even Awu, who was responsible for controlling Ye Zhen on behalf of the headquarters, completely defected and became Ye Zhen's most capable right-hand man. Dahai City also completely broke away from the headquarters, and the entire supernatural forum became independent, becoming a civilian ghost-controlling organization that was no weaker than the circle of friends.

This time, even though he knew that Ye Zhen was missing, Fang Shiming still invited A Wu from the supernatural forum, perhaps with the intention of making fun of him.

It’s a pity that this is not a live meeting, so the fun is not that great.

But if it was really an on-site meeting, Awu probably wouldn't agree to attend so readily, especially since Cao Yanhua was going to appear.

After all, the person directly responsible for arranging the relationship between Awu and Ye Zhen was Cao Yanhua, the deputy director of the headquarters.

"Fang Shiming, you called us here, aren't you just going to sit here and watch?" Yang Jian's voice was cold, with a hint of impatience.

He has many things going on.

Forming your own supernatural team, handling supernatural events, and assisting Sun Rui in becoming the manager of the Ghost Post Office, each of these things sounds simple, just a few words, but they all require time and energy, and you have to work hard.

Fang Shiming's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, but when he thought of his purpose, he temporarily suppressed it and said calmly: "In this case, then I will get straight to the point. In the next two days, I will invite the manager of the Peace Hotel, Mr. Lin Yuanlin, to have dinner at my Ping An Building. There are some seats for you to accompany me. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

"Wait! Mr. Fang, are you talking about him or her?"

Cao Yanhua asked a very important question. As for Fang Shiming's thoughts, he had already guessed it roughly.

"It's him, the store manager, Boss Lin Yuanlin." Fang Shiming didn't care. He glanced at the people on the video call and said calmly, "I invited Boss Lin to dinner this time because I have some important things to discuss. But I think there should be people who want to talk to Boss Lin, and people who don't want me to talk to Boss Lin. So I'm going to give this opportunity to you. It depends on whether you have any ideas."

Cao Yanhua, who was implied, didn't mind.

The current development of the circle of friends is indeed a bit beyond the scope, if there was only one Fang Shiming in the circle of friends, and Fang Shiming's main energy was focused on the Peace Hotel.

If a few more powerful people come, the headquarters may have to consider whether to spend some money to suppress the increasingly dangerous circle of friends.

Now Fang Shiming suddenly invites the "store manager" to dinner, and he actually gets the invitation. What does this mean?
Is it that the "store manager" treats Fang Shiming differently, or is there some other reason?
After Chen Qiaoyang took Xiong Wenwen away from the Peace Hotel, he did not report the news that one could treat the "store manager" to a meal by paying to the headquarters. This resulted in Cao Yanhua not having enough information to make a correct judgment, and he could only speculate that things were going in a worse direction.

"Boss Lin, do you mind us showing up? If so, I'd also like to have a meal. I don't know what conditions are required, but Mr. Fang can just ask. But I'm here in the name of the headquarters, so all conditions need to be reported and approved. If they're too demanding..."

Cao Yanhua didn't finish his words, but everyone could guess what he meant next.

Fang Shiming glanced at him and said, "The minister is not here, so you are the boss, Vice Minister Cao. What's the matter? Don't worry, since Vice Minister Cao has spoken, I will not be rude to him. One quota, fifty yuan for life. How about it? This is a chance to have dinner with Boss Lin. Isn't it cheap?"

Cheap for you MLGB!

Even though Cao Yanhua was quite cunning, he couldn't help but curse when he heard the price.

Fortunately, he didn't know that this was the price Fang Shiming paid for Lin Yuan's dinner, otherwise he would have been so angry that he would have had a cerebral hemorrhage. But looking at his livid face, you could tell that he was not in a very good mood.

"Mr. Fang, if it's fifty-one dollars, just say fifty-one dollars. Why do you have to say fifty? Are you going to embezzle this dollar, or are you going to give us the change?" Yang Jian said calmly.

The money for buying life, that is, the commemorative coin of the Peace Hotel, currently only has a face value of three yuan, and there are no other denominations at all.

If you want to pay fifty dollars, you need to give fifty-one dollars, which is seventeen life-saving bills, and there is no way to get change for the remaining dollar.

Fang Shiming said, "Captain Yang, you are one of the twelve captains of the headquarters, and you manage a city like Dachang City. Unlike me, I still have to work in other stores to earn money to support my circle of friends. Are you still fussing about this dollar?"

This Fang Shiming really has no shame at all!

Cao Yanhua looked at Fang Shiming as if he were a stranger. He clearly remembered that Fang Shiming used to be quite proud. Not to mention bargaining like a common businessman, this was something Fang Shiming would never bother to do.

Is it really because I have done too much odd jobs that my mentality has changed?
"I know you still have some doubts, but this is the only chance. If you don't want to, then I can only regretfully go to dinner with Boss Lin alone."

Fang Shiming knew that he was creating an information gap, so he must not let these people react.

In this way, what was originally a large expense project, a full fifty yuan... no, it should be fifty-one yuan, the life-saving money, even for Fang Shiming, it is still not a small amount.

If that’s the case, why can’t it be passed on?

The headquarters, the supernatural forum, and the Wang family in Dadong City were all carefully selected by him. They have the financial resources to take on this big order. As for Yang Jian, he can only try his luck.

Yang Jian started too late after all. Although he had Yang Xiaotian born in the Gengshen Year and Yang Xiaozai from the Ghost Post Office, these two cheap fathers could not give Yang Jian much support.

In other words, Yang Jian rarely goes to the Peace Hotel, so he might have some savings, otherwise Fang Shiming would not have called him.

Now he had to speed up the time and make it tight so that these people would not have time to verify the specific details of the dinner. Even if they could guess that he was deliberately making trouble, they would not have the courage to take the risk.

In other words, this is a gamble in itself.

If you win the bet, you will get a chance to have a private meal with the "store manager". Although there are many people at the table, they will not exceed the number on one hand, so some things can be discussed privately.

If you lose the bet, you will lose fifty-one dollars, which is the loss of seventeen ghosts.

Now Fang Shiming has put the choice in front of everyone, allowing everyone to make a choice, but no one has spoken yet.

Especially Wang Chaling and A Wu. From the beginning of the meeting, they didn't even utter a single word, just like ladies from noble families.

But anyone who really doesn't treat them as human beings will suffer a great loss.

Fang Shiming didn't think so, so he pointed his finger at the two of them. "Awu, you have actually been looking for Ye Zhen, right? The information you got from the Peace Hotel through normal channels is useless, right?"

Awu looked gloomy and did not answer.

But Fang Shiming was right.

This was not the first time that Ye Zhen had disappeared. The last time, Awu went to the Peace Hotel and found out about Ye Zhen through the Wishing Ghost and the Wish Fortune Cat, but it was just news.

It was still Lin Yuan who brought him back from the landlord's apartment. This time Ye Zhen disappeared again. Although Ye Zhen had said so in advance, Ye Zhen had been missing for too long. Ah Wu was very worried and went to the Peace Hotel again.

But it's different from last time.

This time, the wishing ghosts and wish lucky cats were useless, and several ghosts were wasted in vain. In the absence of any news, it was impossible for the "store manager" Lin Yuan to take him to an unknown destination to find someone.

This has also led to the current situation where the supernatural forum is leaderless.

It is impossible to come up with a definite opinion on the Peace Hotel's various initiatives to open branches, which even seem to be in a state of usurping the throne.

After all, Ye Zhen was not here, and they couldn’t even defeat the security guards of the Peace Hotel or even the watchdogs. How could they respond?

"Are you sure I can get news about Ye Zhen from the store manager at this dinner?" A Wu asked the most crucial question. As for the rest, he didn't want to say more to Fang Shiming.

Fang Shiming said calmly: "The only thing I can promise you is that I can help you ask Boss Lin for information about Ye Zhen. If Boss Lin can't give an answer, I will take the initiative to look for Ye Zhen until I find him."

Under the table outside the camera, Wu clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them, but his expression did not change at all. "Okay, I bought this ticket on behalf of the Supernatural Forum."

Payback!
Fang Shiming was in a good mood, and then he looked at Wang Chaling again, but surprisingly, Fang Shiming looked away again, "Yang Jian, what do you think?"

Wang Chaling: “???”

He was ready to see how Fang Shiming was going to convince him, but he didn't expect this guy to skip him and turn around to find Yang Jian again?
Is this guy looking down on me?

Wang Chaling's eyes suddenly became extremely dark, and Yang Jian did not expect Fang Shiming to find him again, so he said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not interested in this dinner."

"I can invite your father, not the ghost left in the ghost post office, but your real father, the one in the Gengshen year." Fang Shiming stated his bargaining chip.

But Yang Jian did not agree. Instead, he looked mocking and said, "Is this your condition? I can still see him and chat with him at the Peace Hotel, and it won't cost me fifty-one dollars."

Fifty-one dollars!
Do you really think that Yang Jian is some rich man who would waste so much money for a so-called opportunity to have a meal?
They actually put the blame on him. It's really unreasonable.

"There are restrictions in the Peace Hotel. Don't you want to take your father to see your Dachang City, to see your current achievements, and to see everything you have done after growing up? Or, don't you want your mother to see your father again?" Fang Shiming said slowly.

At the beginning, Yang Jian still looked indifferent, but in the end, he had to remain silent.

Let mother see father again?
True, he could go to the Peace Hotel to see his father, but ordinary people were not allowed to enter the Peace Hotel now.

In other words, his mother had no way of entering the Peace Hotel, and naturally had no way of meeting Yang Xiaotian in the Gengshen Year.

Another thing is to let Yang Xiaotian, born in the year of Gengshen, witness his growth and achievements. This is the most direct way for a son to prove to his father that he has grown up and can support the family.

"When your father died, he must have been very worried, worried about how you would grow up in the future, and worried about whether you and your mother would be bullied. Could it be that he really didn't want to see your future? Even if Yang Xiaotian hadn't married at that time and hadn't given birth to you, if you had let him see these things in advance, then in the past twenty-three years, when he died, would he have no regrets?"

Fang Shiming's whispers were like the devil's temptation, constantly lingering in Yang Jian's ears.

But he was not so easily fooled. "I can go to the store manager and ask him to help me do this. I believe that as long as the money is in place, it shouldn't be a problem. In this case, why should I give you the money and find you as a middleman?"

Fang Shiming smiled and said, "Fifty-one dollars for seventeen ghosts is not a small amount. But if you are confident, you can spend this amount of money and ask the store manager to help you send the people from forty years ago back to the present. Or you can do it yourself. Maybe you can get a bargain and spend less money to complete the task."

Yang Jian stared at Fang Shiming, trying to figure out where Fang Shiming got his confidence from.

It was almost clear that he could make this happen with a 100% success rate at the price of seventeen ghosts?
Why should he? !

But Fang Shiming's attitude made Yang Jian a little unsure. If he were to go to the Peace Hotel to find Lin Yuan in person...

"Okay, I promise you, but you have to make this happen!" Yang Jian gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's natural. We'll talk about the specific details later."

Fang Shiming chuckled and agreed, but he sneered in his heart:

As expected, you are just a student. You are so easy to fool. Even if I can't do it by then, what can you do to me? Can you beat me?
Or will you go and complain to the "store manager" then?
If you can really swallow your pride, the worst that can happen is that you just give all the money to the "store manager". For the sake of the money, is he really going to cause trouble for you?

The brave ones will be starved to death, and the timid ones will be starved to death!
Fang Shiming is very courageous now, but then his attitude becomes lazy, as if he no longer cares about the attitudes of Cao Yanhua and Wang Chaling.

"You win. I will also attend this dinner." Cao Yanhua sighed.

The "store manager" was invited out for dinner. This was the second time in the Peace Hotel's supernatural records. As for the first time, it was naturally because the "store manager" felt sorry for Xiong Wenwen and came out to have a blind date dinner with Xiong Wenwen's mother.

That meal in Dajing City almost caused big trouble.

No matter how Fang Shiming did it this time, he had to pay attention and not let Fang Shiming act recklessly.

As for Wang Chaling?
"I need to have the same treatment as Yang Jian, so that my parents can actually come to Dadong City instead of being confined to the Peace Hotel, even if it's for a short time."

"make a deal!"

Fang Shiming agreed immediately, "Since everyone has agreed, let's set the time tonight. I hope you can come earlier."

This is the end of the video conference.

Fang Shiming did not immediately discuss the relevant details with Yang Jian and Wang Chaling, but hurried back to the Peace Hotel again.

There were not many customers at that time, and everyone was resting. Only the ghost messenger at the door, Lao Fan, took a few more glances at Fang Shiming's anxious state.

If it had been in the past, Fang Shiming would have definitely been hiding from the ghost messenger, Lao Fan.

But now, instead of hiding, he took the initiative to let the ghost catcher Lao Fan get closer to him, and then they entered the Peace Hotel together.

Such an intimate posture makes them look like the closest lovers.

"Xiao Fang, are you and Lao Fan together?"

Liu Qingqing was full of envy, and then looked at Lin Yuan who was playing games on the computer beside him. He couldn't leave the Novice Village and played the game in an almost endless loop, but he never got tired of it. He thought to himself, "Fang Shiming can take the initiative to get together with a ghost, why do I have to rely on my career and can't I win over Brother Yuan?"

Fang Shiming didn't like the name "Xiao Fang" because it sounded like the village girl "Xiao Fang".

It was because Lin Yuan was here. Otherwise, even if he couldn't teach Liu Qingqing a lesson, he would still have to say something back, "Brother Yuan, didn't I say before that I wanted to treat you to a meal? How about tonight?"

Lin Yuan looked up from behind the computer. "Are you in such a hurry? Have you prepared the money?"

"Well, everything is ready, but there are some details that I would like to discuss with you, Brother Yuan. What do you think?" Fang Shiming said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Liu Qingqing snorted in her heart and became more and more dissatisfied with Fang Shiming.

But she didn't want to leave an image of being ignorant in Lin Yuan's mind, so she found an excuse to stand up and said, "Brother Yuan, I'm going to touch up my makeup."

"No need, Xiao Fang, we are all family here, just tell me if you have anything to say." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

Although the invasion of the White Mist Ghost Domain could make people unconsciously feel good about him and the Peace Hotel and stop betraying them, he would not be so abrupt.

And what did Fang Shiming do and what was he going to say? Did you really think he didn't know?
Just now, Fang Shiming bargained with those people and made promises. He saw it clearly through the white mist seed in Fang Shiming's body.

It was like watching a live 3D virtual movie. Watching Fang Shiming "debating with a group of scholars" was so exciting!

But Fang Shiming was a little helpless. There was nothing wrong with Liu Qingqing and He Yiner, but Tong Qian from the headquarters was still here. However, Lin Yuan had already spoken, and he had no way to refute. He could only tell him what he had just discussed with Cao Yanhua and others.

"Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang, I didn't expect you to be so bold. You actually used the opportunity of having dinner with Brother Yuan to earn extra money outside? And you agreed to so many things. What? Do you treat Brother Yuan as your tool?" Liu Qingqing widened her eyes. At this moment, she was still shocked.

I didn't expect Fang Shiming to be so bold.

He usually helps out in the kitchen quietly, but when he makes a move, he creates such a "big scene". It's really impressive. Is this the courage of the president of a big group?
Tong Qian couldn't sit still any longer, "Fang Shiming, you're going too far."

Although her heart was with Lin Yuan, she also had her thoughts on the headquarters. Putting aside other things, she had to stop Fang Shiming from betraying the headquarters and its captain.

At the very least, the headquarters and Yang Jian and others must know the truth. We cannot let Fang Shiming easily make a profit from the price difference and treat others as fools!
