I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 588: The "Bridal Robbery" Plan, the Significance of Chen Shumei's Existence
"Brother Yuan, actually, inviting you to dinner this time can be considered as meeting the parents."

At this point, Fang Shiming suppressed his discomfort and forced a smile, saying, "To be honest with you, Brother Yuan, my parents are gone and I don't have any relatives at home. Brother Yuan, you are like my family in my heart, so I was thinking that I must get your consent for this matter."

Lin Yuan nodded, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and his eyes became dangerous.

This guy said that I am his family, which means I am the man’s relative. Doesn’t that mean I won’t be able to get the bride price?
Sure enough, this guy looks like he has become honest, but he turns out to be so insidious!

Lin Yuan saw through Fang Shiming's "evil plan" and said decisively: "Xiao Fang, don't say that. Actually, you and Lao Fan are the same in my eyes, and Lao Fan joined the hotel before you. I have also investigated Lao Fan's family situation, and his family members are no longer alive. I have always regarded him as my family. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Uh! This, I understand, I understand."

Fang Shiming kept laughing and felt very depressed at the same time.

He did want to build a relationship with Lin Yuan, but he really didn't think about saving the betrothal money. After all, the "store manager" was obsessed with money.

If he can give enough betrothal gifts, his position in the Peace Hotel will be more secure in the future!

So no matter what, he will hold a grand celebration this time, so that the "store manager" can get enough benefits and truly see his own financial strength.

But what Lin Yuan said just now made him seem like a miser as well.

Hey!
Fang Shiming gathered his spirits and asked expectantly, "So, Brother Yuan, do you agree with what's going on between me and Lao Fan?"

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "Wait, let me ask Lao Fan for his opinion first. Lao Fan, what do you think of Xiao Fang? If he and you get married, do you agree?"

The ghost catcher Lao Fan is a ghost, and he has no intelligence and no consciousness.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for it to agree or show any expression, but what was jaw-dropping was that when faced with Lin Yuan's question, it actually nodded.

A ghost, it actually nodded? ! ! !

This is a very terrifying thing, because it means that the ghost has self-awareness. If a ghost has consciousness, does it mean that the law of killing is no longer the only criterion for its actions?

No matter how terrifying a ghost that acts according to a killing pattern may be, ordinary people still have a chance to escape as long as they can find the killing pattern.

But if it was a ghost that killed people indiscriminately, then...

Fortunately, the ghost messenger is now under the control of the "store manager", so there is no need to worry about it getting out of control.

"Since Lao Fan has agreed, I will also agree to this matter. However, since you are going to get married, you must naturally go through the procedures, and there is also the matter of the wedding."

Lin Yuan stopped talking here.

Fang Shiming was very sensible and immediately answered, "I understand, Brother Yuan. Lao Fan and I will register for marriage soon. As for the wedding, I plan to follow the ancient rituals, which means three letters and six engagements, and eight sedan chairs to pick up Lao Fan. What do you think, Brother Yuan?"

"It doesn't matter whether the wedding is grand or not. What matters is how you treat Lao Fan in the future. Of course, you should deal with your own emotional issues. I am an outsider after all." Lin Yuan said with a smile, "I will also give you a gift when you get married."

"Okay, thank you Brother Yuan." Fang Shiming smiled happily.

However, no one present could laugh. Although everyone looked at Fang Shiming with complicated eyes, there was not much contempt. Instead, they were filled with solemnity.

Everyone present, including ordinary people like Cao Yanhua, was very familiar with and knowledgeable about the supernatural circle.

Because of this, they could all see the purpose of Fang Shiming's doing this. On the surface, it was the body of the greedy ghost catcher, but in fact... it was indeed the body of the greedy ghost catcher.

The so-called marriage is actually just a means to control the ghost.

As long as the relationship between Fang Shiming and Ghost Messenger Lao Fan is confirmed, Fang Shiming can change his name to Ghost Messenger Fang Shiming and become a terrifying existence with hundreds of brainless suppression capabilities.

Wei Jing is just a younger brother in front of him!

As for the wedding and the like, it is a process of controlling the ghost messenger under the witness of the "store manager". As long as nothing unexpected happens, everything will go smoothly.

"We can't let this happen. Fang Shiming is already very scary just carrying the ghost coffin. If he becomes a ghost messenger without the corresponding strength, his circle of friends will be completely out of control in the future!" Cao Yanhua made up his mind. He would stop this marriage at all costs... and stop the process of controlling the ghost messenger.

In comparison, Yang Jian, Wang Chaling and Awu did not feel much.

Although Fang Shiming's circle of friends is overbearing, because Fang Shiming focuses most of his energy on the Peace Hotel, his circle of friends has not expanded excessively and has not affected Dadong City, Dahai City and Dachang City.

There was no conflict between them.

There is no conflict of interest, so naturally there is no hostile relationship. At most, they just look at each other with some displeasure, and admire Fang Shiming's bold attitude.

"We can't let Fang Shiming have it so easy. We have to think of a way, otherwise my uncle and the headquarters will be in trouble." Cao Yang gritted his teeth and his eyes became dangerous.

Zhang Xianguang just glanced at Fang Shiming and there was nothing too complicated about the situation.

The ghost messenger is very scary, but if it is Fang Shiming who controls the ghost messenger, it will be much easier to deal with him. At least Zhang Xianguang now has several ways to get rid of him.

If you are absolutely sure, you naturally won't take it too seriously.

The dinner ended in such an atmosphere. When Lin Yuan left, Yang Jian, Wang Chaling and A Wu followed him.

They got Lin Yuan's promise and were eager to fulfill it.

Zhang Xianguang left immediately. He had to take care of the franchise store matters and open it as soon as possible. At the same time, he also had to calm Xiong Wenwen's emotions.

Cao Yanhua and Cao Yang were not in a hurry to leave.

So Fang Shiming, the host, also stayed. He looked at the uncle and nephew surnamed Cao and suddenly laughed, "You two, I didn't make your relationship public just now, which can be regarded as expressing goodwill. Old Fan and I are also very close, so please don't stop us."

He and Lin Yuan had already discussed it just now.

The process of controlling the ghost messenger requires two necessary conditions, one is an officially recognized marriage certificate, and the other is a formal wedding, which he had just promised.

Needless to say, he just needs to prepare for the wedding, but the marriage certificate still requires official cooperation.

With the strength of his circle of friends, a small marriage certificate, even one between a human and a ghost, can be easily produced.

But the premise is that no one interferes.

"Mr. Fang, do you really have to sacrifice your reputation to marry a ghost? You have to know that once you make this choice, there is no turning back!" Cao Yanhua said in a deep voice.

As Lin Yuan left, the white mist around him gradually began to dissipate.

Without the influence of the white fog ghost domain, the emotions of the living person in Fang Shiming were gradually disappearing, and his expression gradually became cold and numb, but he did not completely return to the point where all his emotions were eroded by the supernatural and disappeared.

The white mist seed remained in his body, affecting his attitude towards the Peace Hotel, as well as his body and everything about him, retaining some of the emotions of a normal human being.

"Minister Cao's question is a bit boring. This world is already beyond salvation. I am just trying to save myself. There should be nothing wrong with doing this, right?"

Cao Yanhua stared at Fang Shiming for a long time before saying, "Since Mr. Fang has made his decision, I have nothing to say. I hope your choice is right, and I wish you happiness."

Then he took Cao Yang away.

Fang Shiming stared at his back coldly, and suddenly turned his head to look at the ghost messenger Lao Fan beside him.

The ghost messenger Lao Fan was also looking at him, with no emotion in his pupils, but Fang Shiming suddenly laughed, and it was a very bright laugh.

He actually raised his hand and took the initiative to put it on the ghost messenger Lao Fan's shoulder, muttering in a low voice: "They must think I'm crazy, but how could they know that my choice is the right one. They all just regard the store manager as a boring player, but what if this player has the ability to subvert the world?

Zhang Xianguang has already started to make an effort. He is very smart and capable, but unfortunately he has been insisting on his ridiculous ideals. He wants to create some kind of Utopia, even if it means giving up the most core power and being abandoned by everyone. But he should never use his own ideas to push others to do things.

When it comes to the so-called ideal, Zhang Xianguang loses his composure. He has forgotten that the manager's biggest goal is to make the Peace Hotel the world's number one chain hotel and make everyone proud to dine in the hotel. This is his so-called New Peach Blossom Spring Plan.

Unfortunately, what he did now made the store manager lose interest. What a fool.

My choice is truly correct. The fundamental purpose of marrying the ghost messenger is not only to control the ghost messenger, not only to allow myself to have stronger force and greater voice in reality, but to tell him:
I will always be the loyal dog of the Peace Hotel, and I will take Him as my master!"

Fang Shiming's eyes gradually became fiery, even crazy, and his voice became deeper and deeper, like the whisper of a devil, "Only by giving up everything can you... get everything..."

……

"Fang Shiming has gone crazy. Marrying a ghost is just a process of controlling the ghost messenger, but his idea is too radical. Letting such a madman master the power of a ghost messenger may be disastrous for the future situation." Returning to the special vehicle with gold added, Cao Yanhua frowned deeply, "Now there is only one old Qin in the headquarters who may be able to control the ghost messenger, but old Qin rarely takes action, and he is already very old. Xiaoyang, you have to shoulder the burden."

There was no one else in the car and no listening devices.

There is also gold to isolate the spirits, so there is no need to worry about the news leaking out when talking here. Cao Yang no longer hides their relationship. As if he was shocked, he exclaimed softly: "Uncle! You think too highly of me. Half of the spirits in me originally belonged to Fang Shiming. I am confident in fighting Fang Shiming now, but if he really controls the ghost messenger, I am afraid I will have to avoid him in the future. He is very vindictive!"

As the biggest source of trouble in the headquarters, Fang Shiming was also severely studied by the headquarters.

Although he didn't know everything about him, he basically understood Fang Shiming's character.

This is a very vengeful person. He can’t be said to be vindictive, but he is pretty close!
The ghost wind and the oppressive ghost on Cao Yang's body originally belonged to Fang Shiming. Although he bought these two ghosts from the Peace Hotel, he could not change the result.

Fang Shiming did not take action against Cao Yang before because of this consideration.

But if Cao Yang really finds an opportunity to attack Fang Shiming, what will greet him will definitely be Fang Shiming's most brutal revenge. There is no other possibility!
With his current strength, if he really fell out with Fang Shiming, who was controlling the ghost, it was estimated that all the ghosts in him would be taken away by Fang Shiming.

As for whether Fang Shiming can control the ghost messenger?

Things that have been approved by the "store manager" cannot be changed unless "normal" procedures are followed.

And in a wedding, what normal procedures should be followed to disrupt the wedding?

Cao Yang raised his head suddenly, and even stuttered, "Uncle, uncle, you don't want me to..."

"There are ghosts of the same level as the Ghost Messenger in the Peace Hotel, such as the tall male corpse named Li Qingzhi and the ghost of the old man named Luo Qian who was resurrected after his death in the underground laboratory. As long as we get them, we should be able to fight against Fang Shiming who controls the Ghost Messenger, or even suppress Fang Shiming.

But the possibility of getting them is too low, unless you find an opportunity to "marry" them like Fang Shiming did, but without the medium of the puzzle, it is impossible to meet the standard of marriage. So we can only destroy Fang Shiming's possibility of controlling the ghost messenger from the source, and the best way is..."

Cao Yanhua stared at Cao Yang and uttered two words:
"Steal the bride!"

That’s right, if Cao Yanhua wanted to disrupt Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher’s wedding within reasonable rules, this was the only way he could think of.

"A wedding does not represent a marriage. In terms of marriage, I will do my best to stop Fang Shiming, but I may not be able to hold on for long, at most until after the wedding. So what we have to do is to destroy the wedding by robbing the bride. In this way, not only can we destroy Fang Shiming's ambition, but we may also be able to obtain the power of the ghost messenger ourselves, killing two birds with one stone!"

It seems that it is not impossible?
This method sounds ridiculous, but at the Peace Hotel it only uses the most basic logic. As long as the "store manager" approves it, it is feasible.

What does it take to get the approval of the “store manager”?
Either you pay enough money, or you let the "store manager" see enough fun!

Fang Shiming wants to completely control the ghost messenger through marriage, so he will naturally give enough betrothal gifts. But what if they also give the "store manager" enough fun?
The more Cao Yang thought about it, the more he felt it was possible. However, there was one thing: "Uncle, I don't have the ghost messenger puzzle, so I can't do this. The only two people who have the ghost messenger puzzle are Guo Fan and Wei Jing. Guo Fan is now devoted to the Peace Hotel and wants to be a good ghost taxi driver. He probably won't get involved in this mess, so there is only one left. Are you planning to let Wei Jing go and grab the bride?"

Li Jun, Ah Hong and Wei Jing stayed in Ping An Building for a while longer because Zhang Xianguang was still there and it was a good time for him to come down.

After Cao Yanhua gave a slight gesture, he asked Cao Yang to open the car door, let these people get in the car together, and then repeated his previous idea.

"Wei Jing, you may be the only one who can do this. No matter what, you must not let Fang Shiming succeed. If we can successfully snatch the bride, we can use Fang Shiming's money to control the ghost messenger. By then, your power will be complete and even stronger, and you will have enough power to fulfill your previous ideals."

Cao Yanhua's tone was heavy, but he was full of yearning for the future.

Indeed, Wei Jing is a direct descendant of the headquarters.

Compared to Ghost Messenger Fang Shiming, Ghost Messenger Wei Jing is more controllable and more capable of becoming the strength of the headquarters and taking over Mr. Qin's job in the future.

Wei Jing thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but we need a detailed plan to ensure that the marriage robbery will be successful."

"Okay, don't worry about that. I will arrange someone to carry out this plan immediately." Cao Yanhua said as he glanced at Cao Yang. There seemed to be some disgust in his eyes.

Cao Yang, however, didn't care at all.

It’s not that he is unwilling to sacrifice, but he really doesn’t have the middleman. If he really wants to snatch the bride by force, the ghost messenger will have to follow him.

No matter how good a plan is, it needs good enough executors.

Just like Fang Shiming looking for the ghost catcher Lao Fan to marry, if he didn't have a complete ghost coffin on his body, which happened to be the one that gave birth to the ghost catcher, you think the ghost catcher Lao Fan would ignore him.

Therefore, in response to Fang Shiming's "marriage" plan, the headquarters quickly came up with a "bride-kidnapping" plan to counter it, but it was a preemptive strike type.

As for whether it will succeed, it depends on the game between the two sides to see who will have the last laugh.

……

"Lao Zhang, you can't do it either!"

Walking out of Ping An Building, Xiong Wenwen looked unhappy, but as soon as he said a word, he was met with Chen Shumei's worried eyes. He swallowed back all the subsequent sarcastic words and just glared at Zhang Xianguang angrily.

Zhang Xianguang ignored him and said to Chen Shumei, "I will take care of the franchise store matters. I hope Ms. Chen... no, I should call her Manager Chen now. I hope Manager Chen can be ready. It won't take too long for me. It will be arranged within two or three days at most."

Chen Shumei quickly said, "Okay, boss."

"Then let's go back first. I also need to deal with the franchise store and find a better location."

Just as Zhang Meiguang finished speaking, Xiong Wenwen said, "Where is your franchise store? Don't tell me I have to pay to buy it now. In the end, it's just a verbal check."

Xiong Wenwen was already very unhappy because she didn't see Lin Yuan today.

If he didn't want to make Chen Shumei worry, he would definitely not be so polite to Zhang Xianguang now. He would only ask about the details of opening the store.

"Don't worry, we are not without our own power. It's just a franchise store. He is just being modest. Do you take it seriously?"

Nie Yingping said unhappily.

Do you really think that they have devoted themselves to the supernatural world during these decades and have no power at all in the real world?
After all, they still have to make some arrangements for their relatives and friends, so even though they don't have as huge real power as their circle of friends, it is easy for them to open a few stores in Dajing City without any problem.

It’s just that I didn’t use it before, so I rarely contacted it.

But as long as Zhang Xianguang needs it, he can use these forces, and no one will dare to resist Zhang Xianguang.

Two days?

One day is enough!
After sending Xiong Wenwen and Chen Shumei home, Nie Yingping suddenly asked, "I don't understand. Why do you have to invite Xiong Wenwen and Chen Shumei along if you want to open the store? I don't think the store manager has much interest in this woman. As for Xiong Wenwen, without the 'dying child' buff, the store manager shouldn't treat him that specially."

“Everything requires a possibility.”

Zhang Xianguang walked in front, his tone frighteningly calm, "Xiong Wenwen was thoughtful, Chen Shumei was casual, these are not important. What's important is that when the store manager was dating in Dajing City, although he didn't choose to be with Chen Shumei, he didn't completely reject her, and this is a possibility. Even if this possibility is so weak that it is almost impossible, as long as it is not completely eliminated, then Chen Shumei's existence is a talisman."

"So that's how it is. I understand. It doesn't matter if there is no business if I spend some money every month to support a woman like this. As long as she can make people afraid and they dare not take action against our franchise stores, this is her greatest value!" Nie Yingping suddenly realized.

The two of them have slowly walked into the shadows.

Zhang Xianguang's body kept disappearing, and soon he disappeared completely, leaving only one sentence, "I'll leave the matter of the franchise store to you. Open it within today. I'll wait for your news at the Peace Hotel."

"OK, no problem."

Nie Yingping agreed.

Since the failure of the Peach Blossom Spring Project, it has been difficult for him to have such motivation again.

Although Zhang Xianguang had promised me that he would let me work at the Peace Hotel in the year of Gengshen, he could no longer fulfill his promise, but the current situation was not bad.

Although a franchise store is no different from a branch store, it is also a kind of wish.

Zhang Xianguang came to the Peace Hotel through the "Store Manager" business card and stepped into the hotel's door with the sound of "Welcome~".

The store was quite lively. Yang Jian, Wang Chaling and A Wu were all there, but the "store manager" Lin Yuan was not there. "Did Boss Lin go to the Gengshen Year?"

"Zhang Xianguang, why are you here if you're not busy with your franchise store?"

Liu Qingqing, who was behind the cashier counter, spoke with a very unfriendly tone. The look in her eyes was as if she was looking at a traitor and wished to kill the other person.
