I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 583: Cracks, the Weird Dajing City

"Brother Yuan hasn't even spoken yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

Fang Shiming would not indulge Tong Qian. This matter involved his status in the Peace Hotel and he would never give in.

Moreover, he was just a small head of a headquarters, not even a team leader, and he was the first to enter the Peace Hotel by luck. Otherwise, he would not even have the qualifications to stand in front of Fang Shiming. How dare he shout here?

Tong Qian could clearly feel Fang Shiming's contempt for her, but she was not angry. She just said to Lin Yuan, "Boss, Fang Shiming is using your reputation to make money, and if he fails to fulfill his promise, you will probably bear the bad reputation."

"Tong Qian! Stop talking nonsense. Why didn't I see that before? You are quite good at putting accusations on others."

Fang Shiming laughed angrily, "If I were that kind of person, I wouldn't have come to explain the situation to Brother Yuan right away. Or what I said just now, Brother Yuan hasn't even opened his mouth yet, but you're talking nonstop here. What, are you planning to be Brother Yuan's family? Xiao Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Qingqing was eating melons. When she heard Fang Shiming call her name, she was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and said, "I think we should let Brother Yuan decide. After all, Brother Yuan is the boss."

As for Tong Qian?
Liu Qingqing guessed that Fang Shiming's last sentence was to pull her on board, but there was not much truth in it. After all, everyone knew that Tong Qian was low-key now.

But what if?
Liu Qingqing had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to confront Tong Qian completely.

Just like He Yuelian at the beginning, she clearly had no intention of conquering the "store manager", but because she was too sensitive, she was forced to become her enemy.

So now she is very cautious, especially when facing He Yiner and Tong Qian.

Fang Shiming was a little surprised, but he didn't care too much. What he cared about most was Lin Yuan's attitude. As long as Lin Yuan didn't explicitly refuse, he could continue talking.

Without giving Tong Qian another chance to speak, Fang Shiming continued, "Brother Yuan, it was wrong of me to sell the invitation to you for dinner. If you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment, so I decided to hand over all the funds I obtained this time to the store. As for the cost of inviting you to dinner, Brother Yuan, I will still pay for it and will never ask anyone else to do it for me!"

Ok?
He Yin'er, Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, the twins, Xiang Lan and others all looked at Fang Shiming in surprise. Their eyes clearly showed a few words:
What do you want?

After going through so much trouble, I thought you wanted to make money by taking the opportunity to have dinner with the "store manager", but I didn't expect you not to want any money and even plan to put in a part of it yourself?

Are you crazy?
But only He Yuelian seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes turned alert when she looked at Fang Shiming, "As expected of the CEO of the circle of friends, he can actually do this! Even if he is just a small worker, he can take advantage of the wind and directly give such a big gift to the store manager, and he doesn't even have to let the store manager take the blame, but takes all the blame himself!

How could such a person who can make money for the boss and take the blame for the boss not be loved by the boss? It seems that Fang Shiming is really going to be reused! "

Just as He Yuelian thought, Lin Yuan's eyes when looking at Fang Shiming changed from amusement at the beginning to appreciation, and he finally spoke.

There was a hint of blame, but it also revealed concern. "It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Since you know you were wrong and have accepted the punishment, then let this matter pass. As for what you promised, we'll see how the situation develops. After all, this kind of thing is somewhat difficult. If you can't do it..."

"If they can't do it, it's my problem. I agreed to them without my permission, and it has nothing to do with you, Brother Yuan! I will make this matter clear to them, and I will have no complaints even if they beat me or punish me!" Fang Shiming said firmly.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything else, just one word: "Okay!"

Thus, an agreement that was not very bright but very friendly to the Peace Hotel was reached under the noses of Tong Qian and others.

The four original chefs are all here today.

And the way they looked at Fang Shiming finally showed a peculiar change. After Lin Yuan found an excuse to go upstairs, they all gathered around him.

"Mr. Fang is worthy of being Mr. Fang. I really admire him. In this way, your position in the store is probably no worse than ours." Liu Qingqing said with emotion.

Fang Shiming's face was calm, even though he was bent over by the ghost coffin and was a head shorter than the four original cooks, but looking at his eyes, it was clear that he was looking down on the four of them.

"You were just lucky. You entered the Peace Hotel first, but you didn't make use of this resource at all. You went to a mountain of treasures but came back empty-handed. Do you think I'm the same as you?"

He Yuelian was so angry that she laughed, "Fang Shiming, do you really think that just because you made a deal with Brother Yuan, you can be above us and talk to us in such a condescending tone?"

Fang Shiming didn't care at all, "You should learn from He Yin'er and Tong Qian, they can see the situation more clearly."

Then he said to Tong Qian, "You can report the situation here to the headquarters, but before that, I hope you can prepare the food for this dinner."

Without looking at anyone else, Fang Shiming walked to the cashier, picked up the menu, ordered the food, and then left again.

The atmosphere in the lobby was very weird, and was finally broken by Tong Qian, who turned around with a menu and went to the kitchen.

"Are you willing to be threatened by him?" He Yuelian said.

Tong Qian stopped and said, "Fang Shiming is ambitious, but he is right in saying that you are not able to see the situation clearly. He Yuelian, the fight between you and Liu Qingqing is still too petty. It has been so long, so many chapters, and there is only one branch. How much profit has it brought to the store? Can it compare to the meal he arranged for the store manager?"

He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing's faces suddenly turned pale.

But Tong Qian ignored them and went straight into the kitchen to prepare the dishes ordered by Fang Shiming.

"He Yiner, are you on Tong Qian's side or on our side?" He Yuelian seemed to be angry. She had originally only been secretly excluding Tong Qian and had not really formed any cliques.

Because no one knows whether the "store manager" is happy or opposed to this behavior.

But now, He Yuelian has made her own choice, but He Yin'er looked at her in the same way as Tong Qian, "When we were still in Tai O City, what Boss He asked you to learn was probably palace fighting, right?"

He Yuelian pursed her lips, and her eyes gradually became somewhat unfriendly.

She noticed that He Yiner, who rarely spoke in the store and always liked to stay by the fish pond, did not seem to be on their side.

Could it be that his ally was Liu Qingqing, the person he had fought with the most fiercely?
"Different outlooks on life and values ​​lead to different perspectives on the world and different ways of dealing with things. Have you read the novel? To put it simply, you are living in the store with the ideas of female novels, while Fang Shiming is surviving in the store with the thinking of male novels. Although there is only a difference of one word between living and surviving, they are two completely different attitudes towards life."

Liu Qingqing sneered, "You speak as if you know us very well, and you also know Fang Shiming very well."

"Maybe it's because Fang Shiming and I look at the world from the same perspective. Of course, this is just my opinion. It doesn't matter if you don't want to believe it. I don't want to fight for anything, and I don't want to get involved in anything. Now I just want to live a good life like this, so if you have any problems, please don't look for me."

He Yiner drew the line directly and left without looking back.

In the lobby, besides He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing, there were only the pianist Xianglan and the waiters the King twins. But regardless of their abilities, at least their influence on the "store manager" was extremely limited, and they were not even within the consideration of Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian.

The two looked at each other, then snorted coldly.

While Tong Qian was busy in the kitchen, people came to the Peace Hotel one after another.

Wang Chaling, A Wu, and Yang Jian, who seldom came to the Peace Hotel, gathered outside the Peace Hotel as the starving ghost Lao Hua shouted "Welcome~".

There are two other people, they are Li Jun and Ah Hong from the headquarters.

However, before heading to the Peace Hotel, they first went to the commemorative coin exchange office and exchanged the dozen or so ghosts they brought for money to buy their lives.

The money for buying life is very thin, and it is more convenient to carry than a ghost, and there is no risk of losing control.

Then a few people came to the store to look for Lin Yuan, but the news they got was very depressing. It was Liu Qingqing who answered them, and she also answered according to Lin Yuan's meaning: "Brother Yuan is resting now and is not seeing guests."

"It seems that Fang Shiming's actions were not his own idea."

Yang Jian said softly, and the others also agreed with this, but they would rather hear a lie.

Li Jun and Ah Hong looked at each other and went straight to look for Tong Qian. They were at the door of the kitchen. They did not go in. Looking at Tong Qian who was busy and skilled in cooking, he asked the question in his heart, "What's going on with Fang Shiming?"

"It's very simple."

While Tong Qian was processing the ingredients, she told him what had just happened.

There was no exaggeration, but there was no missing detail either, and even Wang Chaling, Yang Jian and Awu were not concealed, which made everyone's faces very solemn.

"It seems that Fang Shiming has found a way to make a fortune." Wang Chaling said with a smile, as if he was not affected at all.

Yang Jian glanced at him and said nothing more. He took the exchanged money and left the Peace Hotel.

The same is true for Awu, Lijun and Ahong.

Only Wang Chaling stayed, "I want to talk to Boss Lin, but don't worry, it's not about dinner, it's about my parents."

Liu Qingqing glanced at him and said, "Wait."

……

At the headquarters in Dajing City, Cao Yanhua frowned as he listened to the information brought back by Li Jun and Ah Hong. "Fang Shiming tempted them with benefits, and Boss Lin followed suit. This is understandable. After all, Boss Lin is a businessman. A meal can bring in two or three hundred ghosts. This kind of income is much higher than running a restaurant. It can be called a huge profit.

The situation is stronger than people. Under the trend of Peace Hotel, we have no way to prevent this from happening, but Fang Shiming is deeply tied to Peace Hotel, which is very dangerous. His ambition is too big. If he continues to expand like this..."

Cao Yanhua did not continue, but everyone could guess. If Fang Shiming really gained the upper hand, the headquarters would become a puppet of his friends, and the domestic situation would be completely ruined.

"There's no way to stop it, so can we take over this job?"

Zhao Jianguo expressed his thoughts, "Tong Qian should have entered the Peace Hotel earlier, and her position is executive chef, while Fang Shiming is just a small worker. As long as we can offer better conditions, there should be no reason for the manager to be unwilling, right? After all, making money from anyone is making money. An old employee who can make more money will definitely make people feel more assured and satisfied than a new employee, right?"

Shen Liang shook his head and expressed a different opinion: "In the final analysis, it still depends on who offers the higher price, and the store manager will choose that person. At that time, it will become that we and Fang Shiming continue to raise the price, and even raise the price to a point that we can't afford. This will damage the interests of the headquarters and is not a long-term solution."

"What we want is to make this thing fail. If we can't take the leading position, we must not leave it to Fang Shiming! He is too dangerous." Zhao Jianguo said solemnly.

Shen Liang retorted again: "Are you a fool as the store manager? How can you not see this obvious harm? If we do this on purpose, is there a possibility that he will attack us directly because we have ruined his plan to make money?"

Zhao Jianguo's heart skipped a beat and his pupils shrank a little.

Even though he had never been to the Peace Hotel, he could still feel the terror and despair of the threat from the "store manager", especially some time ago, when the "store manager" single-handedly covered the entire country with a white fog ghost domain, pulling all those who were not in the safe house into the consciousness world for voting.

Such strength is fully worthy of the title of "Him".

And if such a terrifying existence were to attack them, they would have no chance of fighting back.

"Perhaps, this is what He wants to see. Only with more people competing can He gain more benefits and advantages. On the contrary, if Fang Shiming is the only one in power, it would be like exhausting the resources. As long as we control the degree and do not cross His bottom line, nothing will go wrong! On the contrary, if Fang Shiming cannot see this clearly, as the initiator, he will be the one most likely to be eliminated!"

Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang were arguing, but what they said made sense and there were no logical flaws.

So, who should we believe and who is closest to His ideas?
Cao Yanhua felt that his hair had turned a few grayer. "No matter what, we can't let Fang Shiming take the lead in this matter. Contact Tong Qian. She should be delivering food this time. Let's get her opinion first."

After Cao Yanhua made the decision, Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang stopped arguing.

"Find out some news from friends. Since Fang Shiming is going to prepare a banquet to entertain the store manager, he can't be too hasty." Cao Yanhua thought for a moment and said, "Just ask in my name. We also bought the tickets and are qualified to know this."

"clear."

Zhao Jianguo immediately contacted his friend circle in the name of Cao Yanhua, but the reply he got made him look very unhappy, "Please talk to Mr. Fei in the friend circle, Minister."

No one present was stupid. As soon as they saw Zhao Jianguo's expression, they knew that President Fei's words were definitely not so polite and gentle.

But everyone pretended not to notice, including Cao Yanhua, "I am Cao Yanhua from the headquarters."

……

"The atmosphere in Dajing City is a little weird today. Did something supernatural happen?"

Zhang Xianguang was walking on the streets of Dajing City, but he was keenly aware of the strange atmosphere in the air. One street away from where he was was the Ping An Building, which was a hundred stories high.

The Ping An Building is bustling with people coming in and out, making it even more lively than usual.

"This is Fang Shiming's territory. He's the little worker in the kitchen of the Peace Hotel. He's not very capable, but he thinks highly of himself. He's a clown." Nie Yingping did not hide his contempt for Fang Shiming at all.

Zhang Xianguang didn't comment. "Go get some information. Also, if that kid Zhang Xian is here, don't do anything. Do you understand?"

"Understood. I'll keep this traitor for you to deal with personally."

Nie Yingping agreed immediately and did not feel any pressure.

Although Dajing City also has many masters, compared with Dadong City and Hongming Village in the virtual game, it is not worth Nie Yingping's special attention at all.

He is very confident in his own strength.

Even if Chen Qiaoyang appeared in front of him now, as long as there were not dozens of ghosts around Chen Qiaoyang, he would go up and give Chen Qiaoyang two big slaps.

Of course, this does not apply to the person Zhang Xianguang is going to meet at this time.

Nie Yingping quickly arrived at the Ping An Building. His entry was not obstructed. There were busy people all around him and no one paid any attention to him.

He originally wanted to grab someone directly, but when he saw the old man not far away, he grinned grimly and walked over.

Zhang Xian watched the busy staff of Ping An Building with a numb expression. Now he has joined the circle of friends. He came in under the introduction of Fang Shiming, and became the supervisor of the circle of friends as soon as he came in.

of course.

The position of supervisor of the circle of friends is only prepared for the ghost riders who are powerful and trusted by Fang Shiming. It is a very leisurely position and the person usually doesn't do anything.

But today is an exception.

Fang Shiming was going to host a banquet for Lin Yuan on the 100th floor of Ping An Building, so he naturally couldn't be careless, and Zhang Xian also took the initiative to help supervise the early preparations.

Of course, it was just supervision, which were all jobs for ordinary people and there was no need for him to do it himself.

Until he felt a chill coming, he looked up, and his originally numb expression suddenly became very ugly, "Nie! Ying! Ping!"

"Why, we are old friends, but you look like you want to eat me. It really makes me sad."

Nie Yingping was joking, but his eyes were extremely cold. "Don't worry, I promised Zhang Xianguang that I would leave you to him. I won't kill you."

Zhang Xian was originally ready to take out the ghost cage.

But after hearing what Nie Yingping said, he gave up the idea of ​​taking action. After all, he was quite satisfied with his current life. If he really let the ghost in the ghost cage out, the Ping An Building in his circle of friends would become a purgatory.

By then, he won't be able to stay in this circle of friends anymore.

As for asking for help from supervisors and colleagues in your circle of friends?

Don't be ridiculous. Those young guys are not much stronger than him. They can never be a match for Nie Yingping. Calling them over would just be a way to their deaths.

Unless Fang Shiming is here.

"I came here to ask, what are you doing? Are you going to hold an opening ceremony?" Nie Yingping did not forget the purpose of his coming here.

Zhang Xian said coldly: "This has nothing to do with you."

"It's okay. If you don't tell me, I'll beat you until you tell me. Anyway, Zhang Xianguang just asked me to spare your life, but he didn't say that I can't break your arms and legs." Nie Yingping's face turned cold, and one could even vaguely see frostbite on his skin.

In the hall with central air conditioning, the temperature began to drop sharply.

Such a strange situation quickly caused confusion, but the staff of Ping An Building in the circle of friends are basically aware of the supernatural events.

So there was no excessive panic, and some people even sounded the alarm while escaping.

That was an alarm for the entire Ping An Building. After the alarm sounded, a supervisor would quickly arrive at the scene to deal with the situation, and ordinary employees only needed to escape with peace of mind.

However, Nie Yingping didn't care at all, and looked at Zhang Xian with eager eyes.

Zhang Xian was already an old man, and he didn't want to be beaten, so he quickly said, "That's what I said."

He only knew that Fang Shiming invited the "store manager" to dinner, so he also said this news. However, Nie Yingping was a little stunned when he heard it, "Can you invite Him out for dinner?"

"It's the store manager, not him." Zhang Xian corrected.

"What's the difference?"

Nie Yingping snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the Ping An Building, "I have to contact Zhang Xianguang quickly. The manager left the Peace Hotel and headed for Dajing City. I hope he hasn't done anything yet."

However, when he contacted Zhang Xianguang via mobile phone, he got the message that the other party's phone was out of service area.

"It's too late."

In a small courtyard of the headquarters, the supernatural bus slowly drove away, leaving behind Qin Lao and Lu Zhiwen who had just got off the bus. "Your current state is gradually stabilizing, and you can spend less time on the bus, but you need to harness new supernatural powers, otherwise you will not be able to meet the requirements of becoming a real driver."

Lu Zhiwen's face was covered with wood grain. He looked more like a wooden man than a living person. "What do you think, Mr. Qin?"

"Peace Hotel." Old Qin waved his hand. "Don't be so hasty to refuse. I know you are apprehensive about the Peace Hotel, but to put it bluntly, you don't need to be so apprehensive anymore, right?"
