I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 604 Yang Jian’s bargaining chip, Fang Shiming’s murderous intention

"so many people?"

Yang Jian's eyes swept across the conference room and suddenly widened, looking a little unbelievable.

Needless to say, except for Wang Chaling and Zhang Xuan who is said to have been abroad, basically all the captains are present and there is no one absent.

There were also nearly ten city leaders from various places.

You know, the current situation is not optimistic, although the existence of the Peace Hotel has facilitated many things that are helpful in alleviating the supernatural era.

For example, many powerful ghost riders, in order to obtain resources, roam around looking for supernatural events and imprisoning evil spirits, which greatly alleviates the degree of harm caused by supernatural events.

But compared to the increasing frequency of supernatural events, there is still some gap.

Therefore, city leaders in various places are also very busy and generally will not leave their cities to avoid uncontrollable events.

The headquarters will basically not call them back to avoid any accidents in their respective cities.

But today, not only did he call back so many people, but they were also waiting here, which seemed very unusual.

"Since everyone is here, please take a seat. Zhao Jianguo, inform them of the content of today's meeting." Cao Yanhua made arrangements immediately.

"clear."

Zhao Jianguo nodded and immediately began to tell the story.

It's not particularly detailed because there is too much content in today's meeting. If I really want to talk about it bit by bit, the meeting will take too long. There are only two things that really involve Yang Jian and Guo Fan.

The first thing is that Zhang Xianguang plans to open franchise stores in various places.

"Captain Yang should know about this." Zhao Jianguo asked.

Yang Jian nodded, "I attended the dinner at Ping An Building today. Zhang Xianguang did mention this matter at the time, and he also got the permission of the store manager. The first city he chose was Dajing City. After most of the day, it should be almost ready, right?"

Zhao Jianguo nodded solemnly, "You are right. After all, Zhang Xianguang has lived for so many years. He has always been low-key until the Peach Blossom Spring incident, when people saw his terrifying strength. This time, we also witnessed his power in the secular world."

He glanced at Cao Yanhua, and seeing that Cao Yanhua didn't say much, he continued, "In half a day, Nie Yingping has already arranged a store in the most prosperous area of ​​Dajing City, and has already started decorating it. If there are no major problems, it will probably be open in the next two days."

In Dajing City, even in the most remote places, the land prices are so high that countless people sigh with envy.

In the most prosperous areas, the land prices were so exaggerated that they were almost sky-high. Zhang Xianguang didn't even need to step in. Just Nie Yingping achieved this goal in half a day.

It only means that they were originally the owners of these industries. According to investigations, behind this store is a very famous large domestic group with business spread all over the country, and it is one of the top companies in the country.

If such a large group belongs to Zhang Xianguang, then what Zhang Xianguang said about opening franchise stores all over the country may not be a difficult task.

Fortunately, the "store manager" set a limit, taking the material supply of the Peace Hotel into consideration. Otherwise, perhaps today, we would be able to see Peace Hotel franchise stores opened in the name of Zhang Xianguang in major cities across the country.

"Whether this large group is Zhang Xianguang's secular industry, or whether he has other industries, these are not clear. We are currently urgently investigating, but the results may not be satisfactory. We have called so many responsible persons here today to talk about this matter so that everyone can be mentally prepared."

Yang Jian said: "I don't know what other people think, but in Dachang City, I will use formal channels to restrict the opening of franchise stores. And even if I want to open one, I will open it myself instead of giving the opportunity to others."

Ok?
Yang Jian is going to open a franchise store?
Guo Fan was obviously stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the employee quota in his hand seemed to be less valuable... No, no, there is still a difference between a franchise store and a branch store. Yang Jian is taking this opportunity to lower the price!

Guo Fan was also very smart. He reacted immediately and his eyes widened: "This Yang Jian, at such a young age, has so many thoughts? Kids nowadays are becoming less and less cute."

Guo Fan was still sighing, but when Zhao Jianguo mentioned the second thing, he lost his composure and even stood up from his seat, saying excitedly: "Captain Zhao, are you kidding?"

"Of course I'm not joking."

Zhao Jianguo said with a serious face: "You are not unaware of the influence of the circle of friends on the headquarters, especially Fang Shiming's current attitude towards the headquarters is also very bad. If he really gets married to the ghost messenger from the store manager, what will happen then? Or do you not know how many ghost messengers are currently suppressed? When that time comes, I am afraid that all of you combined will not be enough for Fang Shiming to suppress alone!"

Guo Fan looked embarrassed.

Although he didn't want to admit it, what Zhao Jianguo said was indeed right.

Even though they have a lot of ghost hunters and responsible persons here, the total number of ghosts they can actually control is probably less than a hundred, while the number of ghost catchers to be suppressed has definitely exceeded a hundred!

If Fang Shiming really lets them control the ghost messenger, will they be able to end up well?

and many more!

its not right!
I am an employee of the Peace Hotel. Even if Fang Shiming wants to take action, can he do it to me?
Guo Fan suddenly reacted, and at this time Cao Yanhua also said: "Guo Fan, you are now an employee of the Peace Hotel. Logically speaking, even if Fang Shiming controls the ghost messenger, he will not attack you. If you don't want to participate, it's okay. We won't blame you."

Really?

But he soon felt something was wrong. He saw that other captains and leaders were all staring at him with strange eyes, as if he were a traitor.

These looks were too dazzling, making him feel as if his whole body was pierced by thousands of arrows, because... some spirits can really kill people with their eyes!

"Minister Cao has misunderstood. Since I am the person in charge of the headquarters, I will naturally put the interests of the headquarters first. But when it comes to things like kidnapping the bride, my strength is still too weak, and it may not have much effect." Guo Fan immediately thought of a way to retreat in order to advance!

And kidnapping the bride was one of the things Zhao Jianguo just reported.

"If possible, we will naturally have a more suitable candidate. However, Fang Shiming has the opportunity to propose to the "store manager" because he has a ghost coffin on his back, which is the coffin used to breed ghost messengers. He can control the ghost messenger by marrying him. If you want to rob the bride, you also need qualifications, and this qualification is the puzzle of the ghost messenger!"

Cao Yanhua said calmly: "Wei Jing now has the ghost messenger's left arm, which is a piece of the puzzle, and your spirit tablet is also 90% likely to be the ghost messenger's puzzle, so only the two of you are qualified to rob the bride. In order to share the risk, you two should go together. If you succeed, perhaps one of you will have the opportunity to replace Fang Shiming and successfully control the ghost messenger."

Control the ghost?

Guo Fan, who was originally somewhat resistant, was now moved.

The reason why he licks the Peace Hotel so much and wants to occupy a place in the Peace Hotel is not because he wants to gain more powerful power and live a good life?

If he can control the ghost messenger, then why would he still lick the "store manager" so much?

Guo Fan's heart began to heat up, but he did not lose his mind. "If it is the same opportunity, do I need to give it to the guards?"

"No need, you can all use your own methods when the time comes." Cao Yanhua shook his head, giving Guo Fan a reassurance.

Guo Fan thought about it for a while and decided that as long as the headquarters was not biased and did not ask him to give way to Wei Jing at the critical moment, there would be no problem.

As for whether Cao Yanhua would go back on his word... taking a look at the many team leaders and responsible persons in the conference room, Guo Fan put aside his hesitation and nodded heavily, "Okay, I'll follow Minister Cao's arrangements!"

The meeting was almost over here and everyone left.

The captains and leaders who were worried about what might happen in their hometowns rushed back to their own cities, but some people stayed, such as Yang Jian.

He still really wants to open a branch.

There are quite a few employees in Peace Hotel now, but there seem to be not many who can give him the opportunity to get a quota to open a branch.

He Yin'er had mentioned a long time ago that she wanted to open a branch in Ohara City. Although it is unclear what the specific reason was that prevented her from pushing forward this matter, it is obvious that He Yin'er has no chance of getting a spot.

Tong Qian obviously wanted to leave the quota for the headquarters to arrange. Of course, she might also want to take it to ZS City, which was also not something he could get.

Among the employees who have connections with the headquarters, Guo Fan is the only one left.

Originally he was still thinking about what price he should use to impress Guo Fan, but he was too embarrassed to ask because he was short of money. Now he finally had a good bargaining chip.

He did not wait for Guo Fan to come to him. The common saying among ordinary people that "whoever loses patience first will be at a disadvantage" did not apply to them now.

Who can gain the advantage, in the final analysis, still depends on the resources each person has and the difference in strength.

Obviously, Yang Jian had the upper hand at this moment, so he went straight to Guo Fan, and Guo Fan did not hesitate and directly put forward his conditions: "When you are robbing the bride, you always stand by my side and help me, and I will use my employee quota in Dachang City, or even Meishan Village."

Yang Jian shook his head. "Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger's wedding has been approved by the store manager. You and Wei Jing can go and grab the bride because you have the ghost messenger's puzzle. I can help as your friend and colleague, but I can't do it without limit. According to the normal setting, I can only be regarded as an outsider in this matter. If I interfere too much in this matter, the store manager may take action against me."

"Okay, then I need you to help me three times when necessary!" Guo Fan naturally knew this, so he took a step back and expressed his true thoughts.

Yang Jian nodded, not feeling unhappy about being set up, and agreed immediately, "Okay, then when are you going to find the store manager and tell him about opening a branch?" "Let's wait until this bride-kidnapping incident is over. In this situation, I'm afraid I don't have the mind to do anything else." Guo Fan said.

Yang Jian thought about it and nodded in agreement. "By the way, has Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger's wedding been decided?"

"I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be too long, just a matter of the next few days. Based on my understanding of Fang Shiming, he will definitely push this matter forward with all his strength. By the way, he hasn't returned to the store today, and neither has the ghost messenger. I guess he has been busy with this matter."

After a pause, Guo Fan said, "You can ask Minister Cao or Captain Zhao. They should have been concerned about this matter."

At this time, the two senior executives had not left the conference room yet, and Wei Jing, Li Jun, A Hong, Lu Zhiwen, Tong Qian, Zhang Lei and others were also here.

After Yang Jian and Guo Fan came over, Zhao Jianguo said, "We have been monitoring Ping An Building today. Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger have not come out, but they did send a lot of people out to purchase items for the wedding. It seems that they are indeed in a hurry, but the specific time..."

He glanced at Guo Fan and Tong Qian, "You work at the Peace Hotel, so you can pay more attention to them. Fang Shiming is going to marry the ghost messenger, so he will definitely invite the manager to come over."

"Okay, let's ask tomorrow."

……

"These guys really have been staring at me. Unfortunately, you can't stop me because this matter has already been approved by the store manager."

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 100th floor, overlooking the entire Dajing City, Fang Shiming suddenly felt extremely heroic.

The last time he had this feeling was when he first stood here, but that was a long time ago. After experiencing a series of events such as being forced by Ye Zhen to revive the evil spirit, being betrayed by Jiang Shangbai and He Tianxiong, wandering to Dachuan City, and joining the Peace Hotel, his heart has become calmer.

Just like now, if the plan to control the ghost messenger had not been approved by the "store manager", he would not have had such strong waves in his heart.

Behind him, a tall figure stood there quietly, his hands covered with corpse spots constantly stroking Fang Shiming...the ghost coffin on his back.

Ghost Messenger Lao Fan!

It did not go into the coffin, but just stroked it gently, as if it was stroking some priceless treasure.

Fang Shiming turned around and looked at the terrifying ghost with fanaticism in his eyes, "Old Fan, in a few days, you will be completely mine!"

Unfortunately, the ghost catcher Lao Fan was just a ghost and couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

Fang Shiming didn't mind. He turned his head and looked out the window again, muttering in a low voice: "The guys from the headquarters actually want Wei Jing and Guo Fan to snatch the bride? Guo Fan is an employee and has the supernatural protection of the store manager. I can't kill him, but Wei Jing? You are really brave. In this case, use your life to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"

It was already late at night, but it did not have much impact on the captains who had become outliers at the headquarters.

They don't even need to sleep to restore their energy, and they have more time to do other things, especially Li Jun and Wei Jing who come from serious backgrounds.

They were not idle at night either, but kept an eye on the vicinity of Dajing City. Once there was a supernatural incident that required action, they would rush there at the first opportunity.

It does feel a bit like Li Qingzhi patrolling the Peace Hotel late at night.

The same was true tonight, but most of the supernatural events were limited in their horror level and there was no need for the two of them to take action. There were other responsible persons who could handle it.

Until one moment, an operator at the command center suddenly received a call and immediately reported to his superiors: "A large-scale ghost area appeared three kilometers east of Dajing City. Zhang Lei has already gone there. After a preliminary assessment, support is needed."

Zhao Jianguo patted his face gently to relieve his sleepiness, then looked at the video sent back by the satellite TV signal and said solemnly: "Notify Li Jun and ask him to go over and deal with it."

"clear."

Li Jun had not rested and had been on standby. After hearing the notice, he took Ah Hong with him, turned into a rainbow from the ghost domain, and soon arrived at the scene of the incident.

There is a small ghost area here, covering an area of ​​one kilometer in radius.

There were quite a few residents trapped inside. As soon as Li Jun arrived at the scene, he noticed something was wrong. "Could it be that even you can't enter this ghostland?"

"No, it's just that I feel this ghost realm is somewhat familiar, so I asked you to come and take a look." Zhang Lei shook his head.

He controls a food-eating ghost, and at the Peace Hotel he uses the magical fire in the "hand warmer" of the "store manager" to achieve a balanced state of evil spirits.

His current strength is completely different from what it was before.

When he was in the virtual game, he was regarded by all hostile forces as the biggest threat besides Wei Jing. This was in the virtual game, when Wei Jing lifted the restrictions and could increase the number of people he could suppress by suppressing evil spirits. This was enough to show how terrifying he was.

Although he has not yet developed a suitable ghost domain, most of the ghost domains are useless in front of him.

As long as he wants, this ghost domain will collapse after a few bites. It is much more terrifying than the power displayed by the ghost fang that appeared in Dachang City.

But the fact that Zhang Lei is so fearful now is enough to show how terrifying this ghost area is.

Li Jun stepped forward to observe it, and frowned instantly, "This ghost domain... is it the ghost domain of the ghost messenger?"

"That's right. Although it can't be seen from the satellite signal, this is clearly the Huanggang Village of the past. The only people who regard Huanggang Village as a ghost area are ghost messengers."

Ah Hong's gaze fell into the ghost realm.

When they were at the scene, they could see the situation inside the ghost domain clearly. It was not just a pitch-black mass as shown on the satellite signal.

The boundary of the ghost area is also very clear, it is the boundary between a dirt road and a concrete road, and there is a stone tablet there, on which there are exactly three words written:
Huanggang Village!
"The ghost messenger is now an employee of the Peace Hotel. How could he be revived without the manager's permission? Could it be that something happened to the manager?" Li Jun's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly became a little anxious.

Zhang Lei shook his head. "Everyone knows the manager's strength. Even if the whole world falls, the Peace Hotel will definitely be fine. Otherwise, with Zhang Xianguang's temper, he would never try to implement a so-called New Peach Blossom Spring plan based on the manager's Peace Hotel. Don't forget, the ghost messenger is with Fang Shiming today, and all this is very likely caused by Fang Shiming."

Li Jun frowned, "This Fang Shiming has not yet completely controlled the ghost messenger and he is acting so recklessly. If he really controls the ghost messenger, I don't know what will happen. In this case, let's go in and take a look. But before that, we have to call the Peace Hotel and ask about the situation, as a precaution."

Zhang Lei and Ah Hong looked at each other and both agreed.

In addition to calling the Peace Hotel and asking the "store manager", the matter was also immediately reported to the headquarters, which will also make some targeted arrangements.

This ghost area has been blocked at this time, and law enforcement officers are controlling the surrounding streets to avoid major riots as much as possible.

The call to the Peace Hotel has also been connected.

It was Liu Qingqing's voice that came from the phone. Li Jun was not surprised. "Are you on duty tonight? Can you contact the store manager? I have something urgent to talk to him about."

Liu Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly, "Okay, then tell me what the matter is. If it is really urgent, I will call Brother Yuan."

This is another chance to enter the third floor in the middle of the night!

Although she no longer had much hope of winning over the "store manager" emotionally, she couldn't give up, especially since He Yuelian still had some ulterior motives.

At least, He Yuelian can't be the only one to take the lead!
"The ghost has revived, and its ghost domain, Huanggang Village, covers an area of ​​one kilometer in Dajing City." Li Jun explained the situation directly.

Liu Qingqing frowned, looking very puzzled.

She also guessed that this might be Fang Shiming's doing, but after thinking for five seconds, she said directly: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go ask Brother Yuan what he thinks."

The first floor of the Peace Hotel was filled with white fog at night, and it was filled with terrible danger and weirdness, as well as the heavy footsteps of Li Qingzhi.

Anyone who enters there is likely to be suddenly attacked by Li Qingzhi, a terrifying attack that can dismember any evil spirit into two pieces of a puzzle.

It is only normal within the working area, such as at the cash register during the night shift.

Liu Qingqing hung up the phone, stood up and walked out of the cashier counter. Because she was working, when she tried to walk out, the white mist in front of her automatically dissipated, leaving a path for her.

It will close again after she passes by.

Even Li Qingzhi, who was wandering in the white fog, would not enter an area without white fog.

tread!tread!tread!
Liu Qingqing walked on the stairs. On both sides were paintings with different contents but very similar styles, with a pink peach blossom rain background.

Although the content of the paintings was beautiful, she hated them very much. "He Yuelian is really too scheming. She actually put the paintings all over the stairs. As long as Brother Yuan goes upstairs, he can see them. I must find a chance to throw these paintings into the fire and burn them!"
