I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 589: Selfless Devotion, Expensive Maintenance Device
With the arrival of Yang Jian and others, news from Ping An Building also spread.

Liu Qingqing was so angry. She didn't expect that Zhang Xianguang, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, had said before that he wanted to form an alliance with her, but this guy turned around and went to find the "store manager" to open a franchise store?

You kid, do you want to fly solo?
"Come and have a rest, and have some tea." Zhang Xianguang's tone was calm, without the slightest sense of guilt.

But the more he did this, the angrier Liu Qingqing got, until Zhang Xianguang said, "I heard your branch in Dadong City is doing very well, right?"

"..."

Liu Qingqing choked and then she remembered that she seemed to have pushed Zhang Xianguang aside first and chose to open a store with the help of Wang Chaling.

Did I betray you first?

No, no!

It is obvious that Zhang Xianguang is useless and cannot do what he promised, so I have to choose another helper. It is definitely not that I am a traitor!

His loyalty only belongs to the "store manager" and has nothing to do with Zhang Xianguang!
"Humph!"

Liu Qingqing was too lazy to say anything more, but she didn't bother Zhang Xianguang anymore.

Because we are going to Fang Shiming's place for lunch at noon today, the Peace Hotel has announced that it will be closed for half a day. There is no one else in the restaurant now.

However, apart from Liu Qingqing, everyone else was also very concerned about Zhang Xianguang's arrival.

Especially Yang Jian, he kept staring at Zhang Xianguang with an indescribable color in his eyes, but he did not step forward to talk to him, he was just thinking about something.

Time passed minute by minute, and soon someone else came in. It was Lin Yuan.

"Brother Yuan."

"Boss Lin."

Everyone in the hall stood up to welcome Lin Yuan's return, and Lin Yuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I've brought the person here."

Three people walked out from behind him, they were Yang Xiaotian in the Gengshen year, and Wang Lu and his wife in the Gengshen year.

They had seen this before, so Yang Jian and Wang Chaling didn't get too excited, but the other three were still a little confused.

I don’t know why Lin Yuan suddenly came to find me and brought them to the Peace Hotel.

At the beginning, they were still worried that something might have happened to their son in the future, so they called them over to deal with it.

That feeling is just like when the school teacher calls the parents but doesn't tell them the reason, which makes people feel uneasy.

I am afraid that my child will get into trouble and that he will be bullied.

Until now, seeing their son safe and sound, the two fathers and one mother breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, at least they didn't have to worry about their child getting hurt.

"Inviting you here this time was actually your sons' idea. They want to invite you to this era, to see the world they lived in, and the achievements they made."

Only then did Lin Yuan explain the reason.

Yang Xiaotian's eyes flickered, and he looked at Yang Jian with a smile on his face. "Is that so? It seems that you have grown up and achieved something. Do you want to show it to me?"

"Yes, there are some, but not much. Besides, compared to the so-called achievements, I want my mother to see it again. She has had a hard time these years." Yang Jian's tone was flat, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

Yang Xiaotian's face stiffened slightly. He knew that he couldn't avoid it. After all, he was reluctant to give up this opportunity.

She’s my future wife, so there’s no harm in meeting her.

However, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu, who were born in the Gengshen year, were a little confused, because the communication between them and Wang Chaling was already sufficient, but as for the development of Dadong City?

It's not that they don't care, it's that they don't worry.

The memories of the Peace Hotel cannot be brought back to the Gengshen Year, but these memories can still be preserved in the Peace Hotel, so they have a certain understanding of the current Dadong City.

It is not clear why Wang Chaling came up with such an idea.

"Mom and Dad, let's talk about this after we get back. I do have some things I want to ask for your advice on."

Wang Chaling had said this, so naturally Wang Lu and his wife did not refuse, and then said to Lin Yuan: "Boss Lin, we are all ready, you can take us over."

Yang Xiaotian also came over.

Compared to the indifference of Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu, he was more expectant and nervous, with a complicated feeling of being homesick.

However, in this expectant look, Lin Yuan responded by shaking his head and refusing, "Don't worry. After all, you don't belong to this era. You came here through a special machine, and the controllable range of this machine is in the hotel. If you want to leave the hotel, you need some equipment support, and these equipment are expensive."

At this point, Lin Yuan turned his gaze to Wang Chaling and Yang Jian, "You all heard me talk about this during dinner, so you probably haven't forgotten it, right?"

"Of course not. I wonder how much it will cost? If the amount is too large, can it be paid in installments?" Wang Chaling asked with some concern.

In fact, his idea is:

If the quantity is too large, we’ll talk about it later!
He touched his arms, where all his current belongings were placed. If this money was not enough for Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu to return to reality, then he could only say sorry.

"Haha! Don't worry too much. This price should be affordable for you. Let me ask Professor Wang, the developer of this machine, to explain it to you in detail."

Lin Yuan asked everyone to wait for a moment, and he went to the basement, which was an area divided by the transformation of the underground laboratory and the endless cemetery:
Wang Xiaoming's scientific research laboratory!

It's just opposite the Western medicine clinic, separated by a corridor.

At this time, Wang Xiaoming had no patients, so he naturally stayed in the laboratory, and the equipment used for the experiment was also obtained from the Peace Hotel.

The wax on the wax corpse...

Wish Lucky Cat's Wish Note...

A scapegoat...

Red and white ghost candle...

A small mirror that cannot reflect images but connects to another world...

A large number of miscellaneous experimental products were placed in a mess. When Lin Yuan came in, he felt a sense of chaos as if he had nowhere to step. However, Wang Xiaoming was very natural and his movements were very relaxed.

"Boss Lin, how come you have time to come here today?" Wang Xiaoming looked confused, with a hint of depression and resistance.

As a researcher, it is very annoying to have your thoughts interrupted while you are working.

It was Lin Yuan who did this. If someone else came over, Wang Xiaoming would instantly transform into a Zuan strongman and let the other person experience the charm of language.

"Is such that."

Lin Yuan talked about what happened today, but before he finished, Wang Xiaoming frowned and said, "Boss, you must be mistaken. I don't know how to use time and space devices."

"Of course I know you won't. Those equipments were obtained by me... um, I got them back through some special channels. I can't make them public, so I want you to take the credit. But don't worry, no one will expose you. Also, I need you to explain it, just follow my explanation."

Lin Yuan directly stated his purpose, and he was very confident, not even blushing at all.

Wang Xiaoming: "..."

The creation of the equipment requires Wang Xiaoming to be named, and then Wang Xiaoming, the "R&D personnel", needs to explain it. However, what Lin Yuan wants to do is not a one-time transaction.

"Business requires a steady stream of money, just like a points card. First, you need money to buy the equipment. This price doesn't need to be set too high, otherwise no one can afford it. But it can't be set too low, otherwise people will think that the equipment is worthless and suspected of being fake. So according to my idea, the price is 50 yuan per unit."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he took out a small box from behind him.

Just, fifty yuan per unit?
Where have you heard this price before?
Wang Xiaoming was suspicious. He took the small box and opened it. Inside was a palm-sized metal block with a small electronic display screen and a socket whose model could not be seen.

“This device is able to sustain the activities of people born in the Gengshen year until now, but it needs to be replenished with some special energy, which can only be replenished in the store.

A full fill can keep the user at the current time for one day, and the required price is 72 yuan, which is equivalent to 3 yuan per hour.

Of course, the charging time is relatively short, and it only takes ten minutes of fast charging to be fully charged.

So, what do you think? "

Lin Yuan looked at Wang Xiaoming expectantly, waiting for his evaluation. Wang Xiaoming was silent for a while, and just gave a thumbs up. "Boss, you are really wasting your talent in business. You should have a bigger stage to display your talents."

"Hahahaha! Xiao Wang, you have also learned to flatter? I know my own abilities very well. I'm just average, not as great as you say, so let it be. You know what to do, right?" Lin Yuan asked.

Wang Xiaoming nodded, "I understand."

As an all-round talent, Wang Xiaoming's intelligence and talent are naturally needless to say.

After "dying" once, Wang Xiaoming has become more rational in the Peace Hotel. His body functions have recovered to the best and he can think better.

Just like a ghost resurrected, it lost all its restrictions. Wang Xiaoming's physical condition was the same, he was able to reach the limit of what humans can do at present, such as photographic memory and emotional rendering, which were so easy to master.

After agreeing to Lin Yuan's request, he went to the lobby and, through the art of language, carefully processed Lin Yuan's instruction manual, which he had not put much thought into.

Thus, the development of this time-space device instantly turned into a touching love story... Phew! It's a research and development story!

In this story, in order to develop this machine, Wang Xiaoming abandoned his former self (ordinary man Wang Xiaoming), missed love (ghost catcher Lao Fan), made peace with his love rival (Fang Shiming), and devoted himself to the research and development business. Finally, with the help of a kind-hearted person (store manager Lin Yuan), he completed the research and development of the space-time device and put it into use, making his own insignificant contribution to the technological development of mankind!
In order to express his gratitude to the kind-hearted person (store manager Lin Yuan), he handed over the ownership and patent of the space-time device.

Of course, since the R&D funds and venue were provided by this kind-hearted person (store manager Lin Yuan), there is nothing wrong with him doing this.

Now this device has been successfully developed, but the cost is still quite high.

Although the kind-hearted man (store manager Lin Yuan) wanted to give back to the society, he was unable to do so due to the huge investment. He could only recover some funds through the use of the settings before conducting further research and development.

We strive to reduce the cost so that we can serve more ordinary people.

After Wang Xiaoming's speech, the more sentimental Liu Qingqing and Xianglan almost cried, while Yang Jian, Wang Chaling and others also had tears in their eyes:

"You're being so sentimental. Can you afford the price when I sell me later? Dad, I'm an unfilial son!"

Lin Yuan was very satisfied. "Wang Xiaoming's speaking ability and empathy are too outstanding. It would be a waste to just let him do research. After all, there are not many things that need him to research in the store now. Even if he does research it, it will have almost no effect on me. On the contrary, if I have any new ideas, I can let him give a hearty speech, which should have good sales. Hmm... a live streamer?"

If you think about it carefully, they do seem quite similar.

Especially when he heard the latter part and looked at the state of other people at the scene, Lin Yuan almost couldn't help clapping and applauding. He even doubted whether he was really as noble as Wang Xiaoming said.

No, I must be that noble.

If it weren't for him, how could Yang Jian meet the real Yang Xiaotian, and how could Wang Chaling meet the real Wang Lu and his wife?

"This business can still be continued. Those who have regrets are always willing to spend money to see their deceased elders, and some will let those deceased elders witness their growth and achievements. Unfortunately, ordinary people can't help me much, so I still have to do this business in the spiritual circle."

Finally, Wang Xiaoming’s sales speech ended.

He glanced at Lin Yuan, and was relieved to confirm that Lin Yuan was very satisfied with him. Yang Jian calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "So, what's the specific price?"

"This small device costs fifty dollars. It takes ten minutes to fully charge and can last for a day, so the price is seventy-two dollars. In other words, it costs three dollars an hour."

Hearing this, Yang Jian, Wang Chaling, Yang Xiaotian, Wang Lu and his wife, and others all fell silent.

Are the prices too high?

Lin Yuan frowned slightly, and at this moment, Wang Chaling sighed: "It turned out to be only fifty yuan, Professor Wang, you just said it so touchingly, I thought it was at least several hundred or thousands of yuan."

So, “just” fifty bucks?
For the first time, Lin Yuan wondered whether he had underestimated the financial resources of Wang Chaling and others, or underestimated the potential of this equipment, and underestimated Wang Xiaoming's ability to sell goods.

However, it is naturally very good that Wang Chaling is willing to accept this price.

Moreover, Wang Chaling actually took out a large pile of red life-saving money from his pocket. After careful counting, there were as many as one hundred and sixty-eight yuan!
This number made Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

A rich man!
"One maintenance device costs fifty dollars. If you have two parents, you'll need two maintenance devices, which is a hundred dollars. Even if you calculate it this way, it's still not enough."

Lin Yuan suddenly said.

Wang Chaling said helplessly: "I know that too, so can we charge it in sections? We don't need to charge it fully, just charge it for four hours."

Both parents spend four hours each, which is twenty-four yuan.

Add the one hundred yuan for the maintenance device, that is one hundred and twenty-four yuan, and there is still forty-four yuan left... No, because there is no one-yuan change, and the "store manager" cannot suffer a loss, so the price to be paid has increased to one hundred and twenty-six yuan, leaving forty-two yuan.

These forty-two dollars can be used to buy a lot of good things, and four hours is enough.

"of course can."

Lin Yuan naturally would not refuse. He signaled Liu Qingqing to keep the money, and then asked Wang Xiaoming to take the two so-called maintenance devices to charge.

In fact, this so-called maintenance device is just an empty shell, and the so-called charging is just stuffing some white mist into it.

They, or Lin Yuan's power, are the source of power that can maintain the existence of these people who existed in the past in the present world.

"Xiao Yang, what about you? How many hours do you plan to charge?" Lin Yuan asked.

Yang Jian glanced at Yang Xiaotian with an embarrassed look on his face, and whispered, "I don't have that much money on me, but it won't take long for me to gather the money and send it over."

As the person in charge of Dachang City and one of the twelve captains of the headquarters, Yang Jian really doesn't have many tricks up his sleeve.

In order to attend Fang Shiming's banquet and get Fang Shiming's help to get the opportunity for his father to come into reality, he even went to the headquarters to show his face and finally got together fifty-one dollars.

Now?

He wasn't penniless, but he was pretty close.

Even if he moved all his supernatural items, such as ghost mirrors, ghost cabinets, etc., he couldn't get fifty yuan to buy a new one, and having no money is the biggest embarrassment for a child of his age.

"Xiao Yang, you are still young, so it's normal that you don't have any savings. By the way, I remember that you haven't started college yet, right? So, I will treat this as a student loan for you, and give you a maintenance device, and then fully charge it, which is just over 100 yuan. You can pay me back when you make money in the future. How about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on them, all filled with disbelief.

You have to know that the "store manager" has always been labeled as stingy. The biggest discount he has given in the past, no matter how unprecedented it was, has never been lower than 97%.

Most of the time, it’s 99% or 98% off.

If you can get a 3% discount, it means you have enough face in front of the "store manager".

When it comes to cash, there is no room for negotiation at all. As long as you dare to embezzle the "store manager's" money, you must be prepared to have all your supernatural powers taken away by the "store manager".

Those who have no money but dare to dine and dine are the biggest proof!

But now, the "store manager" actually took the initiative to apply for a student loan for Yang Jian. Could it be that the "store manager" has changed his character and is no longer stingy, but full of kindness?
Thinking of this, Wang Chaling's eyes turned and he said with a smile: "Boss Lin, do you think I can also do a loan business?"

"You haven't graduated yet?"

Lin Yuan asked back.

The air around also became sticky, and in the hotel lobby, where white fog should not appear during the day, there were wisps of white mist floating around.

This is a very strange phenomenon, and it even looks a bit beautiful.

However, in Wang Chaling's eyes, this was filled with boundless terror, making him almost unable to move. He could only look at Lin Yuan's kind but puzzled face in horror, and shook his head violently, "No, no, I was just joking."

"That's not funny." Lin Yuan replied calmly.

The sense of terror around him disappeared, but Wang Chaling's back was already soaked with sweat. However, the look he gave Yang Jian became very strange, even full of...

jealous.

Since the "store manager"'s character of being stingy enough to kill for money has not changed, why does Yang Jian receive such special treatment from the "store manager"?

I don’t think Yang Jian is that handsome.

Yang Jian also felt the heavy pressure at this moment. Deep down, he was still somewhat tempted when he heard about the "student loan".

He is different from Wang Chaling.

He really wanted Yang Xiaotian to follow him back to Dachang City, back to Meishan Village, to see his mother.

But he always felt that Lin Yuan's attitude was a little unbelievable. Just like Wang Cha Ling thought, he didn't know what he had done to deserve Lin Yuan's preferential treatment.

After gritting his teeth for a while, he finally made a decision, "I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, I can't accept your funding."

"Okay, then you can only come back when you have enough money." Lin Yuan was not too disappointed. He was just testing whether the God Yang Jian existed.

But now it seems that the situation is really not optimistic.

Although Yang Jian couldn't come up with the money to buy a maintenance device for Yang Xiaotian, and couldn't take Yang Xiaotian out of the Peace Hotel and into reality, he could still chat with him in the store for a while.

Lin Yuan dealt with the matters of Wang Chaling and Yang Jian, as well as A Wu, and Zhang Xianguang who came here for some unknown reason, so he no longer cared about Yang Jian.

"He is very special to you and seems to have a special liking for you, but you seem to be very resistant. Can you tell me the reason?" Yang Xiaotian asked the doubts in his heart.

“I only know one thing: all free gifts have already been priced, and it is likely that the price is unaffordable.”

Yang Jian looked at Lin Yuan who was communicating with Ah Wu not far away, and said in a low and solemn voice, "Before becoming a ghost rider, I was just an ordinary senior high school student. If I hadn't accidentally entered the supernatural circle, I would be nothing now. His existence is too high, but he is so special to me, which can only mean that there is something about me that attracts Him. I don't know what it is, and I don't want to know, and I don't want to take risks. You should understand my thoughts, don't you?"
