I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 606: Wedding in Huanggang Village, stop them!

"This place is almost exactly the same as the old Huanggang Village. Even... even the villagers inside are there, but there are more of them."

Li Jun's face looked a little embarrassed, and this sentence was definitely not a compliment.

Huanggang Village can understand the ghost domain of the ghost catcher, after all, it was bred there, but the problem is, it’s not like they haven’t experienced the ghost domain of the ghost catcher in the later period, and they all know that there are no ordinary people in the ghost domain of the ghost catcher, let alone ghost slaves.

Although it is unclear whether this was a deliberate arrangement by the "store manager", it at least proves that this place is very clean.

But this time, they found something different as soon as they came in, there were many villagers wandering around... No, not wandering around, but living their own little lives.

It's like they were all normal villagers.

But the problem is, after contact, it can be clearly found that these villagers are not ghost slaves, but real... living people!
Is there any need to think about where these living people come from?

Although it is currently impossible to see exactly how many people there are, based on the information they had obtained previously.

There are more than 10,000 residents living in this area!
Tong Qian, Zhang Lei, Wei Jing and the others all looked unhappy. They were all more inclined towards "justice". What Fang Shiming was doing now clearly showed that he did not regard the lives of these tens of thousands of people as his life!
"Boss Lin, Fang Shiming's behavior this time was indeed a bit too much. You can't keep pampering him like this." Zhang Lei said seriously.

If it weren’t for Lin Yuan, Fang Shiming might have died long ago.

He either died in Dachuan City or at the hands of Jiang Shangbai and He Tianxiong. How could he become a thorn in the side of the headquarters again like now, and even more terrifying than before?
Liu Qingqing was unhappy, "Zhang Lei, what do you mean? Do you think that Xiao Fang did these things because of Brother Yuan? Work is work, and private life is private life. Brother Yuan can control Xiao Fang from doing wrong things during work hours, and can he also control him from messing around during private time? Brother Yuan is Xiao Fang's boss, not Xiao Fang's father. It's impossible for him to control him 24 hours a day!"

Zhang Lei looked embarrassed.

The other people looked at each other and seemed helpless.

Because according to the "character setting" it is indeed like this, Fang Shiming is just an employee of the Peace Hotel, and the "store manager" is not Fang Shiming's father, so it is indeed impossible for him to control Fang Shiming for his entire life.

It's time to get off work again. What Fang Shiming did happened was done at the Peace Hotel, so it's impossible to put the blame on the "store manager" no matter how you look at it.

Settings are settings, and the truth is the truth!

But under the settings, they have no way to really ask the "store manager" to take action to solve such difficult problems, which is really fucked up.

However, they recovered quickly.

After learning about the rules of the Peace Hotel and the personality of the "store manager", the headquarters added an additional training course for them. The title of the course is:

[How to guide store managers to become regular people in a normal way of communication under unconventional conditions! ]

This course is easy to learn but difficult to master. Li Jun and others have memorized all the knowledge points in it, but their biggest challenge is how to apply them well and appropriately.

Fortunately, there are many opportunities for practice, especially for regular customers like Wei Jing and Zhang Lei who often visit the store. They have more opportunities to communicate with the "store manager" and practice this project.

After a while of secret discussion, they came up with a preliminary idea.

At this time, Lin Yuan was looking at Liu Qingqing with a satisfied look, "Xiao Liu, you are so eloquent today."

Liu Qingqing could understand Lin Yuan's thoughts the best. She immediately understood that he was praising her. Her smile was bright and brilliant, and her eyes were narrowed. "Brother Yuan, I just don't want you to be wronged! How could what Xiao Fang did after get off work have anything to do with you? If it's a good thing, then it's fine. After all, with your words and deeds, Brother Yuan, it will guide him to be good. This is normal. But if it's a bad thing, then it must be his own problem. It has nothing to do with Brother Yuan!"

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "I just praised you and you're so proud of yourself. You take all the benefits on me and push all the responsibilities away when something bad happens? That's not how things work."

Liu Qingqing nodded in agreement, "I understand, Brother Yuan. You can also refer to the rest of us. The reason why we didn't do bad things is that Brother Yuan's influence on us is positive, which is why we are so sensible. Xiao Fang became an outlier among us and did bad things, so that's his responsibility."

"That's not wrong." Lin Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Qingqing also understood that there was nothing wrong with "taking good things for yourself and pushing bad things away", but you must find suitable reasons and excuses that others cannot refute, so that it will count!
Learned, learned!
Lin Yuan continued, "Also, whether something is good or bad cannot be judged based on appearance alone. It is unfair to the parties involved to make a judgment before understanding all the details of the matter. Just like now, everyone says that Xiao Fang did something bad, but is that really the case?"

His words made Li Jun and others who were originally preparing to practice the theoretical class stop temporarily. They wanted to hear how the "store manager" judged the matter so that they could conduct further analysis based on the actual situation.

"Xiao Fang used holographic projection equipment to limit such a large area and let the residents inside participate in his ideas. It seems to be compulsory, but what is the specific situation? Were they forced, or did they receive a generous reward and then took the initiative to participate? All this is still unknown. If it is the latter, they took the initiative and Xiao Fang gave them money, then how can such a consensual thing be said to be wrong? Xiao Liu, do you think I am right?" Lin Yuan said.

Liu Qingqing blinked and nodded decisively: "Brother Yuan is right."

Looking at her eager attitude, perhaps if Lin Yuan said that poop is fragrant, she would agree crazily and criticize those who refute this theory.

Li Jun frowned and said, "Boss Lin, even if it's as you said, Fang Shiming's large-scale event is a very dangerous project, after all, it involves tens of thousands of people. The headquarters did not receive his project report, which is also not in compliance with procedures."

Lin Yuan nodded. "What you said makes sense, but sometimes we have to look at things dialectically. Of course, you still need to investigate and understand the specific situation. Don't wrongly accuse a good person, and don't let a bad person go."

Don't wrongly accuse a good person, and don't let a bad person go?
Li Jun and the others naturally understood this theory, but what did the "store manager" mean by saying this? Was he asking them to let Fang Shiming go, or to take this opportunity to defeat Fang Shiming?
For a moment, several grown men started scratching their heads together, feeling like their hair was about to be squeezed out by their crazy thinking.

In the end, Ah Hong stepped forward to help them out. "Don't let your imagination run wild here. When you meet Fang Shiming, you will know what the store manager thinks, right?"

Yup!

If the "store manager" is dissatisfied with Fang Shiming, it will definitely limit Fang Shiming's strength, and will also make the ghost catcher Lao Fan no longer stand on Fang Shiming's side, and may even take back the ghost coffin.

As long as these phenomena exist, they are enough to prove the attitude of the "store manager". They can act against Fang Shiming with a clear conscience, or even take this opportunity to uproot their entire circle of friends!
If there is nothing unusual, it only means that the "store manager" is still protecting Fang Shiming, and they can only watch and cannot take any action.

But even though everyone understood this truth, no one was in a good mood.

Because Wei Jing and the others all knew that the possibility of the former was perhaps less than 10%, while the possibility of the latter was infinitely close to 100%!

"Are you friends from outside? Are you here to attend Xiao Fang and Lao Fan's wedding?"

They chatted for a while and had just entered the boundary of Huanggang Village. They had not even walked a hundred meters when suddenly a few children ran over from the side of the road.

They were about eight or nine years old, both boys and girls.

But the strange thing is that the clothes they wear are very fashionable, and they are obviously what children in big cities wear, not what children in small mountain villages should wear.

Moreover, their skin is fair, and their faces and hands are very clean.

Obviously, they are the original residents here, but looking at their state, they have clearly put themselves among the villagers of Huanggang Village.

And their names.

Xiao Fang, Lao Fan!

This is clearly the name that "store manager" calls Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan. Now these kids call them that and act as if it's a matter of course, which reveals something weird and inharmonious.

Li Jun took the lead, squatted down and asked, "Children, are you all from this village?"

But not only did his question not get an answer, but it scared the children so much that they stepped back one after another, as if Li Jun's appearance was very scary.

Now, Li Jun was suddenly embarrassed.

The most important thing is that these children all retreated behind Lin Yuan, as if they regarded Lin Yuan as their support to fight against the "bad guy" Li Jun.

Li Jun is very aware of his appearance, so although it is a bit embarrassing to scare children, it is not unacceptable.

But the question is, are you really sure that the person you choose to rely on is a good person?
That existence is countless times more terrifying than him!
"Mr. Li, although I know you are very busy at work, you still have to clean yourself up sometimes."

Lin Yuan made a joke and then asked, "Little friends, did you just say that Xiao Fang and Lao Fan got married?"

"Yes, yes, it's right in front. Xiao Fang has been busy preparing a big house for Lao Fan for most of the day. Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma have all gone to help. No... it should be that all the adults in the village have gone to help. It's really lively over there."

The one who answered Lin Yuan was a very cute little girl with a bun on her head and a rosy face like a ripe apple.

Lin Yuan also liked this little girl very much. He rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "We are all friends of Xiao Fang and Lao Fan. We heard that they were getting married, so we came here. Can you take us there?" The little girl seemed to enjoy Lin Yuan's head patting. Her big eyes narrowed in familiarity. After hearing Lin Yuan's request, she nodded decisively and said: "Of course, big brother. But big brother, you and these uncles and aunts came to attend the wedding, didn't you bring any gifts or anything?"

wait wait wait!
The “store manager” is the big brother, and the others are uncles and aunts?

Li Jun, Zhang Lei and Wei Jing looked at each other and their faces twitched.

In fact, Li Jun and Wei Jing were fine. They were in their thirties and they thought it was reasonable to be called uncle by this little girl who was less than ten years old.

But the problem is that the "store manager" only looks young, but in fact he is an old monster who has been in existence for an unknown year. This little girl really has no tact!
And Zhang Lei and Ah Hong, they are really depressed.

Unlike Li Jun and Wei Jing, two "uncles" in their thirties, they are only in their early twenties, at the prime of their life, but they have already been upgraded to uncles and aunts?

Even though this little girl was less than ten years old, she made them feel upset.

They still have to call others big brother or big sister, or even uncle or aunt, but in the blink of an eye, they have been promoted from young people to uncles and aunts?
If anyone else called her that, they would definitely protest, but facing a little girl who was less than ten years old, so cute, and mainly loved by the "store manager"...

Okay, I tolerate it!

They could all endure it, but Liu Qingqing couldn't.

Although she no longer had much confidence in her ability to conquer the "store manager", she couldn't just shave off the generation gap between her and the "store manager". Did she have to ask the "store manager" to call her aunt in the future?

So she put on her brightest smile and squatted down gracefully, "Little sister, I'm your elder sister, you can't call me auntie, understand?"

The little girl tilted her head to look at Liu Qingqing, then turned around and threw herself into Lin Yuan's arms, so that her voice sounded muffled, "Brother, this aunt is so scary!"

Liu Qingqing: “……!!!”

"Haha! Don't be angry, Xiao Liu. Children should always speak without restraint." Lin Yuan patted the head of the little girl in his arms and comforted Liu Qingqing again.

Liu Qingqing forced a smile, "Okay, Brother Yuan, I understand. Children should not be restrained in their words, children should not be restrained in their words..."

But she clearly remembered a saying, "Children don't lie", so if this little girl was telling the truth, did she really look a generation older than the "store manager"?
Is it because of this reason that the "store manager" does not accept me and only allows me to be his employee?
Liu Qingqing suddenly felt that what happened today was not a bad thing. At least it made her understand a very possible reason why she was not accepted by the "store manager".

"It seems that I need to go back and make some changes. I should go find Zhang Youhong again. She has more experience. I just didn't find the crux of the problem before. Now that I have a clear direction, she should be able to help me!"

Liu Qingqing muttered softly, but she didn't know that Zhang Youhong was actually just a theorist.

As a line from a certain apartment comedy goes:

The teacher who may help you find a job has never been employed himself!

This is the case with Zhang Youhong now. She may have never had a love history during the Republic of China period, but now she has become Liu Qingqing's love consultant, or even a love teacher.

A person who only has theories, or even unsystematic theories, becomes a teacher. Can the students still be successful?

Everyone followed the group of children and climbed over a small dirt slope. The environment, which seemed very ordinary just now, suddenly became lively.

It was as if the small mound just now had very terrible sound insulation facilities, so that not much sound could be transmitted to the other side.

Only after they walked across the small mound could they hear the lively scene here.

I saw a large open space not far away, which was filled with dozens or even hundreds of large round tables, with ten people sitting on each table.

There were also many people busy shuttling around, constantly serving food, drinks, cigarettes, fruits, etc.

Of course, there were also children laughing and playing.

Everyone was chatting animatedly. Although not many people were talking loudly on purpose, the many voices coming together created an extremely lively scene in everyone's ears.

At the edge of this open space, there is a house.

The house is of an older style, but it looks very festive from the outside. It's all bright red, and there's a big "囍" character pasted on the wall, explaining the reason for the scenes before our eyes.

"It's really a wedding. This guy didn't even invite us to his wedding. Isn't that a bit too much?" Liu Qingqing was a little unhappy.

She also knew about the marriage between Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan.

Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to see if there was any way to arouse the "store manager's" yearning for family. Maybe she still had a chance.

But now, this Fang Shiming actually held the wedding secretly?

He didn't even give her a chance to have a good chat and discuss cooperation. Such a guy is so despicable!

Thinking of this, Liu Qingqing turned around and said, "Brother Yuan, look at this Xiao Fang, he doesn't know the rules at all. You are now considered Lao Fan's parent, but Xiao Fang and Lao Fan didn't even invite you to sit in the seat of honor when they got married. This is too rude! This marriage cannot be counted!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jun and others cast doubtful looks at him.

Just now Liu Qingqing was standing on Fang Shiming's side... Oh, yes, Liu Qingqing's position is not Fang Shiming, but the "store manager".

Now that Fang Shiming got married and held a wedding so hastily, although she didn't know how he had offended her, it also irritated her and made her start to blame Fang Shiming.

This is a good thing!
Ah Hong immediately stepped forward and said, "Since it is a wedding, then naturally the elders of both parties must be present before guests can be invited. There are very detailed procedures. Although everyone is now pursuing simplicity and convenience, some basic rules cannot be missed. Otherwise, everyone can just get a marriage certificate, why would there be a need for a wedding?"

"Yes, a wedding is an announcement to relatives and friends of both parties, telling everyone that the newlyweds are together and will be a family in the future. If even the most important people are not invited to the wedding, is the wedding valid? At least from a moral point of view, it is somewhat inappropriate." Zhang Lei also expressed his opinion.

Li Jun had also thought of an excuse by this time. "I've heard about Lao Fan's situation. He is an orphan with no elders at home. Even after retiring, he has no friends. It was you, Boss Lin, who gave him a job and treated him like a family member. If not a parent, then at least a brother. It's really inappropriate that Xiao Fang married Lao Fan without inviting you, Boss Lin."

"Boss Lin, maybe you should go down and take a look. Of course, I don't want you to make a scene at the wedding. After all, there are so many guests. Maybe you can have a good talk with Xiao Fang and Lao Fan to see how to deal with this problem." Wei Jing also put forward his own ideas.

They were really a little anxious.

In order to prevent Fang Shiming from controlling the ghost catcher by marrying him, they have formulated a plan to kidnap the bride, and Wei Jing and Guo Fan are the core figures of the plan.

This plan has just been drawn up and has not yet been detailed, including what props and equipment to prepare and how much to prepare. These have not yet been determined.

What happened is that this kid Fang Shiming actually had an emergency wedding?
According to the agreement between Fang Shiming and the "store manager", if Fang Shiming wants to control the ghost messenger through marriage, two conditions are required. One is to get a marriage certificate and go through the formal legal process, and the other is to have a wedding to declare their relationship.

Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher have not yet produced their marriage certificate.

However, the headquarters had no way to stop him on this point, because the matter had been confirmed in front of the "store manager". As long as Fang Shiming followed the rules, if they refused, they would have no reason to argue in front of the "store manager".

So they couldn't use this method to hold Fang Shiming back, and could only cause trouble through the wedding.

The most important thing they have to do now is to ruin the legitimacy of the wedding in front of them. Otherwise, their plan to kidnap the bride will fail before they even have the chance to implement it. How can they continue?
The most important thing is the attitude of the "store manager".

After the statement was made, everyone stared at Lin Yuan nervously, wanting to know what decision the "store manager" would make.

Lin Yuan was naturally very clear about these people's mentality. He did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, after thinking for a while, he suddenly looked at Wei Jing: "Old Wei, did you know Old Fan before?"

Wei Jing was stunned. He didn’t have this “setting”... Oh, I understand!

Although Wei Jing is sometimes very strict, he also knows how to use the rules reasonably to make up stories. Now that the "store manager" has given a condition, he naturally has to accept it.

After all, there are acting courses specially arranged for them at the headquarters.

Wei Jing, Scene 1, Act 1, Aixin!
