I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 584 One Minute: Luo Qian's Purpose, Chen Shumei's Future
Lu Zhiwen was silent.

Last time, in order to find out the truth about the disappearance of Dadong City, he and Li Jun and others forced their way into the ancient town of Taiping.

When he came back he was unconscious.

The headquarters tried every possible means to wake them up, but failed. Finally, they arrived at the Peace Hotel, where the "store manager" rescued them.

They did not stay overnight at the Peace Hotel at that time, but after all, it was the "manager" who took action. No one knew whether the "manager" took this opportunity to leave a backup plan in their bodies.

If we just borrow the power of the "store manager", it seems to be no different from this.

Lu Zhiwen was thinking about it. He was always decisive, but at this moment he seemed to be in a dilemma.

"You can still hold on for a while in your current state. Think about it carefully when you return."

Old Qin didn't force it, but one could tell he was still a little anxious.

This kind of emotion, which should not easily appear in such an old man, appeared so abruptly at this moment.

Lu Zhiwen looked at the old man in confusion, and his wooden expression suddenly changed. "Mr. Qin, is your time almost up?"

"Well, it's almost time. I should prepare for my own death now. You are the last successor I have chosen over the years. The bus is a good tool. If you use it well, it will be much more effective than simply fighting or dancing."

After a pause, Qin Lao sighed and said, "You guys are moving too fast. When dealing with supernatural events, you can think of more techniques, and the losses will be much smaller."

Just like the haunted bus, as long as you have the ability to drive the haunted bus, you can send ghosts from reality to the haunted place without any confrontation.

Lu Zhiwen asked, "Has Mr. Qin ever told Minister Cao about these things?"

"No. You were too weak before. Before you grew up, you couldn't use the skills even if you had them, just like this bus. Even if you made the method of driving it public, the most likely result would be a few more bodies on the driver's seat of the bus, that's all."

Qin's words are cruel, but they are the bloody reality.

Without sufficient strength, without the strength to grow from confrontation, you are not even qualified to drive.

Lu Zhiwenwen suddenly asked: "If there was no Peace Hotel, you wouldn't have chosen me as the bus driver, right?"

"That's right, your strength is still a little insufficient." Old Qin nodded and said as a matter of course.

Lu Zhiwen pondered and said, "I will consider your suggestion carefully."

After Lu Zhiwen left, Old Qin looked at the shadow beside him and said, "You've been waiting for a long time. Come out."

The next moment, Zhang Xianguang walked out from the shadows. "With the Peace Hotel, your standards have become much lower. Even a guy like this can be trained as a driver, or do you have no one left to choose from?"

Old Qin said unconcernedly, "If you are willing to be a bus driver, I can choose you. How about that? The Peach Blossom Spring plan has failed. Why not choose to be a bus driver? You can also have a skill to make a living."

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not going to starve to death on the streets."

Zhang Xianguang looked at Mr. Qin calmly, "I remember you said last time that he was dying."

"Yes, are you planning to go back and see him?" asked Old Qin.

Zhang Xianguang shook his head. "He wouldn't want to see me like this now. Besides, you're going to die soon, right?"

"I see. Are you targeting me this time? It seems you have gained new power? No, there is not much room for growth on your path. Even if you get some puzzle pieces, it is impossible to achieve a qualitative improvement. So, is it the power you got from the Peace Hotel?"

Old Qin was very curious and was not angry at all because of Zhang Xianguang's threat.

It seemed that he didn't take Zhang Xianguang seriously.

Zhang Xianguang was not angry.

Having dealt with him for so many years, he knew how terrifying Old Qin was, and he didn't come here to confront him.

"I plan to join the Peace Hotel and open a branch in Dajing City."

Old Qin refused without a second thought, "Impossible. Any other place is fine, except Dajing City. Otherwise, that young man named Fang Shiming would have opened a branch long ago."

The abandoned geographical location of Dajing is very special, and there are even more special people and things.

The Peace Hotel branch does not look very aggressive, but the pink peach blossom rain that is constantly falling over Zhonghai City has become the thing that many people fear the most.

It can be said that Dahai City has become a small paradise.

It is the kind that Zhang Xianguang once planned.

But the one who was unsuccessful was not Zhang Xianguang, but Him.

The person in charge of management was not Nie Yingping and others, but He Yuelian.

Now that Zhang Xianguang wants to do this in Dajing City, how could he be approved?

The only person that Old Qin is truly afraid of now is Him from the Peace Hotel.

Zhang Xianguang?
Not qualified enough!
Unless He asks to open a store here, it will be useless for anyone to come, including Zhang Xianguang.

Zhang Xianguang had already guessed Qin Lao's attitude, so he didn't feel strange. He just said calmly: "You are dying."

"Yes, how about you wait until I die before coming back?" Old Qin said calmly.

Zhang Xianguang nodded and took out the golden card [Endless Cemetery·Luo Qian] from his arms.

As soon as the card was taken out, the air around him became a little colder.

Old Qin's expression became serious, and his eyes were fixed on the card.

"This is a card I just got from the virtual game at the Peace Hotel. Unfortunately, I don't have enough points, so I can only use it for one minute. But if I just want to use it to dig a grave, it should be enough."

Zhang Xianguang raised his head and stared calmly into Qin Lao's cloudy eyes. "Are you planning to be buried in Dajing City after you die? I can build a tomb for you. One minute may be a bit rushed, but it should be enough. Don't worry, I don't charge any fees. It's free."

Is this a threat?
Of course not, it’s just that as a junior, I have the deepest love for my seniors.

Old Qin looked at Zhang Xianguang with a serious expression, and the air seemed to become sticky.

Zhang Xianguang felt his breathing become rapid and difficult, but he ignored it and continued, "You should know that killing me is useless. In other words, do you really dare to fight me here?"

When a person cares about something, he will be full of flaws.

The same goes for Mr. Qin.

One minute is a short time, but it is the complete form of Luo Qian.

Although Zhang Xianguang could not use this opportunity to bury Old Qin, at least there would be no problem in escaping safely from Old Qin's hands.

Otherwise, how could he appear in front of Mr. Qin?

Before leaving, he didn't mind leaving some "gifts" for Mr. Qin.

Zhang Xianguang did not explain this, but Old Qin understood it and said helplessly, "Does it have to get to this point? Besides, how will opening a branch help you?"

"Of course, it is to help Peace Hotel develop rapidly and make it the largest chain hotel in the country, or even the world. Whether it is a big city or a small county, there must be a Peace Hotel."

Zhang Xianguang expressed his thoughts with such rare enthusiasm that people could not help but wonder whether he had acquired the Peace Hotel and become its real owner.

But the truth is that Zhang Xianguang is really making a contribution.

What he wanted was never power, but a future that could temporarily end the supernatural era. He once chose the Peach Blossom Spring Project, for which he endured and worked hard for decades.

Now he has set his sights on the Peace Hotel and is not willing to wait any longer than a few decades, nor are there any decades left for him to wait.

"Now I am only fighting for the day! You can't stop me, and there is no other way. There is no time to stop me anymore."

Zhang Xianguang's face was calm, yet revealed an indescribable confidence.

Old Qin sighed, "You are right. I really have no way to stop you. But are you really doing this just out of a sense of justice and without any other thoughts? I know something about your parents' affairs. You should still hate him, hate that he didn't even go back to see your mother when she passed away."

"If you want to disturb my mood by doing this, it's too boring."

Zhang Xianguang remained calm, seemingly unaffected. "I admit that what I have done over the years has indeed been affected by this incident, but now, all personal grudges are no longer important. What's important is that I have chosen the future I want. This matter has been settled. I will go to the store manager to explain the situation and open the store in Dajing City as soon as possible. If you want to stop it, do it as soon as possible, otherwise I will assume that you agree."

We walked out of the headquarters without encountering any obstructions along the way.

Even the staff at the headquarters did not notice his arrival and departure, and Mr. Qin, who was truly qualified to stop him, ultimately did not choose to take action.

"There's something interesting that I believe you might be interested in." Nie Yingping's message came from his phone. Zhang Xianguang quickly came to the coffee shop near Xiong Wenwen's home and found Nie Yingping, who had already ordered two cups of coffee. "Tell me about it."

"Fang Shiming, the young man in the friend circle, invited the store manager to have dinner at his Ping An Building. Now the whole friend circle is preparing for this, it's going to be very lively, do you want to go and have a look?"

Nie Yingping's eyes sparkled with excitement. "I also met Zhang Xian there. He didn't stay in Shuangqiao Town. Instead, he got together with Fang Shiming and became a supervisor in the circle of friends, managing hundreds of people. He was very impressive."

"Zhang Xian is still a child. He can't see the road clearly. It's normal for him to be fooled. But Fang Shiming is really too bold to fool my young man. Or, the people in Peace Hotel are all very courageous. Let's go. I also want to find the store manager and talk to him about joining the franchise. Let's be an uninvited bad guest."

Originally, we were going to go to the Peace Hotel, but now there is no need to do that. We can just go directly to the Ping An Building.

At this moment, a child suddenly rushed over, came directly to their seats, sat down on them, and said angrily: "Why did you come just now!"

Nie Yingping was so angry that he laughed, "Xiong Wenwen, did we make an appointment? Why are we the only ones late? Also, why didn't you follow that traitor Chen Qiaoyang and come to find us?"

"That guy is unreliable. I think you guys are better." Xiong Wenwen said with confidence.

Nie Yingping smiled even more brightly, but just when he was about to take action, he was stopped by Zhang Xianguang, which made Nie Yingping very confused, "We shouldn't need him for our plan, right?"

Zhang Xianguang did not answer, but asked Xiong Wenwen: "Is your mother still taking the recent management course?"

"Of course she is learning, and she has been working very hard. She can be said to have mastered it absolutely! As long as she is given a chance, it will only take a few minutes for her to be among the Fortune 500!" Xiong Wenwen boasted without any hesitation.

Nie Yingping rolled his eyes when he heard this.

If she is really that powerful, why can she stay at home... Well, with the headquarters watching, there is no way that Xiong Wenwen's mother will be allowed to go out to do anything.

What's the Fortune 500?

Among the world’s top 500 companies today, more than half are foreign companies, and even domestic ones have close ties with WeChat Moments.

Given Xiong Wenwen's supernatural powers, he is a treasure in the headquarters, otherwise the headquarters would not be so indulgent to him and allow him to develop such a naughty temper.

Unless Xiong Wenwen's mother goes to work at the headquarters.

In fact, the headquarters had previously arranged for an easy position for the family members of all the responsible persons. It was a very respectable job with very generous remuneration.

This method of winning people's hearts is still very useful before the person in charge is completely corrupted by the evil spirit and becomes unhuman.

Unfortunately, something happened later, causing Xiong Wenwen's mother to stay at home and no longer work, until Xiong Wenwen began to promote his mother to Lin Yuan...

"Are you going to recommend my mom to Brother Yuan? I think we can invite Brother Yuan to my house and let them have a good chat." Xiong Wenwen said expectantly.

Nie Yingping said, "You want us to invite someone that Chen Qiaoyang can't even afford to hire? If you really want him, bring your mother with you."

Xiong Wenwen was stunned for a moment and said, "But ordinary people can't enter the Peace Hotel. Why should I let my mother follow?"

"Let me tell you, the store manager has been invited out by Fang Shiming from the friend circle, and they will go to Ping An Building in the friend circle for dinner later. This is your only chance." Nie Yingping said.

"I'll be there soon, wait for me!"

Xiong Wenwen jumped down from his seat. When he finished saying this, he had already run out of the cafe and soon disappeared around the corner.

Nie Yingping chuckled and said, "This is really interesting. Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? Don't you want to do this?"

There was something wrong with Zhang Xianguang's eyes, which made Nie Yingping, who always thought he knew him well, feel a little guilty.

"I want to recruit Xiong Wenwen's mother. I have just talked to Mr. Qin, and he will let me prepare a branch of Peace Hotel in Dajing City. Will you manage it or me? Of course, we have to find a professional, and this will also give her a chance to get in touch with the store manager, and it can be regarded as fulfilling our previous agreement with Xiong Wenwen." Zhang Xianguang expressed his thoughts.

But the information contained in it made Nie Yingping feel a little overwhelmed.

"Open a branch here? Aren't we so close to Peace Hotel? Aren't only employees of the hotel eligible to open a branch? Or... you said before that you wanted to recommend me to join Peace Hotel. Last time you tried to find the store manager in the virtual game, but it didn't work, so you came up with this method to let me become an employee of Peace Hotel in disguise? You are too nice!"

Nie Yingping was so excited.

He envied nothing else but the white mist seed, which could provide absolute protection for his consciousness and he no longer had to worry about dying easily.

As for the members being the veterans of the Peace Hotel, it doesn't sound real at first.

The news just now is more credible. So what kind of godly boss did I meet? He cares too much about me, doesn’t he?
"I will discuss the matter of joining the Peace Hotel later. This is one of the reasons why I went to find him. When the time comes, let the rest of the people come to work in the store. However, since you do not have the ability to manage a store, let Xiong Wenwen's mother be the lobby manager. If anything happens, you know what to do." Zhang Xianguang said.

Nie Yingping nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry. Although she is an ordinary person, as long as she can make money and maintain our relationship and status with the Peace Hotel, there is no problem in listening to her on business matters. Besides, compared to business, what we should do is to deal with some troubles that come to us, right?"

"Yes, I'm glad you understand."

Xiong Wenwen didn't leave for too long. She returned in about ten minutes. Following her was a beautiful woman who was slightly panting.

This is a very beautiful and charming woman, and with her slight panting state, she is indeed very alluring.

She is Xiong Wenwen's mother, Chen Shumei. After she stopped, she immediately adjusted herself and soon became dignified.

"Mom, it's them. Let's go now, and we can meet Brother Yuan. Then you can show your ability and try to take Brother Yuan down. Then even if I... you can still rely on Brother Yuan to live well."

Chen Shumei originally wanted to scold Xiong Wenwen.

After all, she had already had a blind date with Lin Yuan once. Although Lin Yuan was indeed very attractive and had the ability to protect himself and his son, Lin Yuan had also made it very clear at the time.

Rather than blind dates, he cares more about finding talents who can help him develop the Peace Hotel.

Chen Shumei has been studying financial management hard recently, and this is indeed the reason, but more importantly, she wants to find something to kill her extra time.

Going in front of Lin Yuan again, and it wasn't something we had agreed on, was that going to be a bad guest?

Chen Shumei was somewhat reluctant, but after hearing what Xiong Wenwen had just said, her heart softened again, "Forget it, let's just play along with her one more time."

However, after sitting down, what Zhang Xianguang told her surprised and delighted her.

"I plan to join the Peace Hotel and open a branch in Dajing City. By then, I will have a lot of business dealings with the Peace Hotel, and we will be considered a family. I hope you can become the manager of this store and be responsible for its daily operations."

Before Chen Shumei could answer, Xiong Wenwen was unhappy. "That's not what we said before, Lao Zhang. Why are you not keeping your word like Lao Chen?"

"What do you know? If we force the store manager to go on a blind date with your mother, how likely do you think it is to succeed? It would be better to start with work like we are doing now. Maybe they will really fall in love with each other." Nie Yingping retorted angrily.

Xiong Wenwen was not angry, but thought about it carefully, and then looked at her mother again.

Chen Shumei gently rubbed Xiong Wenwen's head, and then said to Zhang Xianguang: "I can accept your invitation, but I hope to have enough time to accompany Wenwen."

"You can bring him to the store anytime you want. Our store is special. It's not an ordinary restaurant."

The agreement between the few people was reached, and then they went to Ping An Building.

At the same time, Fang Shiming had also returned to Ping An Building. Zhang Xian came up to him and told him what had just happened.

"Since Nie Yingping has shown up, Zhang Xianguang must be nearby. If they come over to cause trouble, it might be a bit troublesome. At least right now, you are far from being Zhang Xianguang's opponent."

Zhang Xianguang is here?

Fang Shiming frowned slightly, but he was not too worried. "This time we invited the store manager. If Zhang Xianguang and the others really dare to come and make trouble, I will definitely not be the one who suffers in the end. Perhaps, it would be better if he could come and make trouble. Once they anger the store manager, we will have one less opponent. You can't be reluctant, right?"

"There's nothing to be sorry about. He betrayed our previous ideals, that's the fact. I'm just worried about whether you can make him anger the store manager. He's not stupid and won't do something to seek his own death." Zhang Xian's expression remained unchanged and his tone was calm, as if he had no personal feelings for Zhang Xianguang.

Fang Shiming looked at him carefully, and after a while he slowly said, "You don't need to worry about this. Okay, let's go and receive the guests first. After all, they have spent money, and we have to make them feel a little warm, otherwise they will be reluctant to give the money."

The guests he was referring to at this time were naturally Wang Chaling, Yang Jian and others.

He has already sent the message that the time for inviting the "store manager" to lunch is today at noon.

The time was a bit tight, and an ordinary person might not be able to make it even if they took a plane, but Wang Chaling, Yang Jian, and Awu from the supernatural forum were not ordinary people.

It would take only a short time for the ghost realm to turn into a rainbow to rush from their city to Dajing City.

The first to arrive was Wang Chaling. He brought his grandparents and easily came to Dajing City and appeared outside Ping An Building.

As for his parents, he left them in Dahai City to deal with unexpected events.

Otherwise, if they were all taken away, and if they encountered some tricky supernatural incidents, some of his ghost-controlling subordinates who stayed in Dadong City would not be able to handle them without any damage.

His arrival also marked the beginning of the dinner party.

Yang Jian and A Wu also arrived one after another, and when Cao Yanhua arrived last, he brought several people with him, which made Fang Shiming's face suddenly become extremely gloomy.
