I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 607 Wei Jing's Background and Interests
"Boss Lin, have you done background checks? But you're right. In today's world, you do need to understand someone's background before hiring them. Otherwise, it would be bad if you recruit some bad people." Wei Jing said seriously.

At the same time, I was constantly brainstorming and thinking about how to write the next story.

Because they were preparing to kidnap the bride, the headquarters did make arrangements to deepen the connection between him and the ghost catcher Lao Fan, such as adding some background stories.

It would be best to make the "origin" of this man and the ghost deeper, extend the timeline to a further time, and let Fang Shiming become a mistress who took advantage of the situation. That would be perfect.

Borrowing the "store manager's" understanding of the retired ghost messenger Lao Fan, and considering that Wei Jing has the same background, it is most appropriate to set the background during his service.

It's just that time is too tight, and no one thinks Fang Shiming will be with the ghost catcher Lao Fan tonight, so Cao Yanhua arranged for someone to design the background to ensure that everything is foolproof. Even if they have to work overtime at night, they have to wait until tomorrow morning to get it ready.

In other words, Wei Jing now only has a general idea and has no idea about the details.

Now that the "store manager" suddenly asked, he needed to use his intelligence to make up the details.

Li Jun, who knew him well, was worried for him. In his impression, Wei Jing was not the kind of person who could make up a story easily.

Unless, the “store manager” gives in, but will the “store manager” give in?
"Old Wei, you are right. This era is too chaotic. I don't want to recruit bad people. If some evil scientists take over my position, I will have nowhere to cry." Lin Yuan followed his words and said, "But I only know a little about Lao Fan's background. I know that he is a retired soldier, but I don't know the details. Old Wei, you and Lao Fan are about the same age. Did you know each other in the army before?"

When Wei Jing heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly said, "Boss Lin, you are really smart. You can even guess this?"

He didn't hear it clearly, he only heard the literal meaning, but Li Jun, Ah Hong, Zhang Lei, Tong Qian and others felt something was wrong.

Why does it feel like the "store manager" is giving Wei Jing ideas?
No, impossible, absolutely impossible!

The character of the "store manager" is a normal person with ordinary people's cognition. At most, he is a little stingy, but he is still very persistent in dealing with things. It is impossible for him to do such a thing as guiding the direction of others with the boss behind the scenes.

I must be feeling it wrong.

Li Jun and others were still denying their own ideas, but after Wei Jing was reminded, his mind was instantly opened.

It’s like when he’s writing a novel, his ideas suddenly come flooding back, and he feels so refreshed that he can’t help but express himself!
He looked sincere, yet nostalgic as he spoke: "Old Fan and I were in the same class before. We trained together and were promoted together. We were rivals. From the outcome of a training session to promotion, we would always compete with each other, and neither of us would give in. But we were also the best friends to talk to. Whether it was our personalities or our ideas, we often coincided. It can be said that at that time, we were the ones who spent the most time together... friends."

Lin Yuan seemed fascinated by what he heard. "Oh, so we're just friends, right?"

This sentence was so meaningful that Wei Jing smiled bitterly. "Boss Lin, please don't laugh at me. At that time, Lao Fan and I were indeed just friends. At most, we cared about each other more than others. Although neither of us would give in during competition, we were the first to deliver medicine when each other was injured. I remember one time...well, Lao Fan broke his leg while studying, and I stayed with him in the hospital for several days. In the end, I was punished."

Lin Yuan laughed out loud, "So that's how it is. But Lao Fan is really something. He didn't even tell me about such a big thing. This way I can give you a few more discounts. By the way, I remember you seemed to have a discount before, 99% off? Considering how you took care of Lao Fan in the past, I'll give you a 9% discount..."

Wei Jing's eyes lit up: "10% off?"

The others all showed shocked expressions.

You must know that the store manager is very meticulous and calculating, but everyone knows it. On the Ghost Rider website, it is also known clearly by everyone.

Even when the "store manager" is being most generous, the discount is only 93%... or 95%?

Because this discount is really the same as nothing, and most of the time it is just some people showing off their status in the eyes of the "store manager", which is extremely disgusting.

If Wei Jing can get a 10% discount, does that prove that in the eyes of the "store manager", Wei Jing's status has far surpassed others?

No, this discount is not because Wei Jing is Wei Jing, but because Wei Jing once did a favor to the ghost catcher Lao Fan, so it is like this!
But it’s good to have such a discount.

You can even use this discount as proof of your status in the Peace Hotel... In just a blink of an eye, Ah Hong, who has successfully been promoted to the intelligence leader of the temporary team, thought of all the wonderful uses of the "10% discount" ID card.

however……

"What are you thinking about, 10% off? A 10% discount would mean a loss for me. I meant 97% off. How about that? Is that good enough?" Lin Yuan said with a look of disgust.

97% off?

Wei Jing scratched his head and smiled helplessly, "Boss Lin, you are joking. It is already very good to have this discount. And considering the relationship between me and Lao Fan, we really don't need such a discount. Otherwise, it would seem to materialize our relationship, which is not appropriate."

He actually wanted to say "tarnish" this relationship, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate. The "store manager" might misunderstand that he was angry, which would be bad.

Lin Yuan nodded and said seriously, "I didn't think it through. So, in order not to affect the pure feelings between you, forget about the discount and talk about it later."

Wei Jing was stunned: "Ah?"

I was just being polite. Although this 3% discount doesn't save much money, it is a symbol of my status in the Peace Hotel.

Now on the Ghost Rider website, you have a discounted price, which is a status that countless people envy and hate!

Although the status of 99% discount is not bad, it is not as good as 97% discount.
Moreover, the status and position represented by the discounted price could also help the headquarters to make some special arrangements and deployments. But it was all gone just because of a humble and polite remark?

For a moment, Wei Jing wanted to die.

However, Li Jun and others all had the same thought in their minds: As expected, the "store manager" is still the stingy "store manager" and his personality has not changed.

"But this is understandable. You and Lao Fan seem to be following the same path. It turns out that you learned the same things during your previous training." Lin Yuan said.

Wei Jing didn't know what to say for a moment.

He had died once, and it was only because the "store manager" gave him one of the ghost's arms to control it that he gained the same abilities as the ghost.

However, he only has nine suppression quotas, as if they were locked, and he cannot improve indefinitely like the ghost messenger.

In this case, it would be strange if there was any difference in abilities between him and the ghost catcher!

"Let's talk about what happened later. Why did Lao Fan come out alone, and in such a miserable state? His strength is not weak, so it doesn't make sense to let him retire so easily, right? After all, in today's world, someone with Lao Fan's strength should be easily reused." Lin Yuan asked.

Wei Jing smiled bitterly.

If the ghost catcher Lao Fan is really their man...even if he is just their ghost, then there is no way that this will be a good deal for the Peace Hotel or for you, Boss Lin!

With such mindless suppression of the supernatural, is there any supernatural incident that cannot be handled?

But not only can he not admit it, he also has to find a suitable reason for the "retirement" of the ghost catcher Lao Fan, which is a great test of his acting skills.

After all, this wasn't a choice that suited his mind, but he still had to do it.

"Something happened at the beginning. Later, I was away on a mission for a while. When I came back, I heard that he had retired. I went to look for him later, but he seemed to be avoiding me. I knew we were in the same city, but I couldn't find him at all. Although I didn't want to admit it, his strength was above mine. If he didn't want to, there was no way I could find him."

He didn't know what excuse to make, nor did he want to discredit his former team, so he could only use this ambiguous explanation.

Fortunately, the "store manager" approved of his topic, "So that's how it is. Lao Fan was always silent when he was in the store. It seems that he had suffered some unfair treatment. But it doesn't matter, the past is in the past, and that incident has nothing to do with you, so he shouldn't blame you, he just doesn't know how to face it."

"Boss Lin, you are right, that's the truth. And between him and me..." Wei Jing took a deep breath and suddenly looked around.

Liu Qingqing?
It doesn’t matter. This woman only holds the title of person in charge at the headquarters, but her heart is actually not at the headquarters. She has not even spent a whole day at the headquarters. She is not one of us.

Li Jun, Tong Qian, Zhang Lei, Ah Hong...all of them were looking at him with expectant eyes.

This made Wei Jing feel a bit stressed, but fortunately he had prepared himself mentally in advance, so he didn't have to feel too much psychological burden.

only……

"Uncle, are you and Lao Fan ex-boyfriends?" the little girl asked curiously.

Ex-boyfriend, ex-boyfriend?

"They loved and hated each other during training, and they always cared about each other after retiring. Uncle, maybe Lao Fan didn't want to see you, but because the things that happened back then were too complex and he didn't want to drag you down." A little boy said in a deep voice.

Thank you for filling in the background story here!

"I think that Lao Fan and this uncle are the true love. Xiao Fang has gone too far by stealing someone's love!" A little girl clenched her fists, looking indignant.

The little boy at the side was unhappy, "How do you know? What if Lao Fan just felt that he was too young at the time, so he was with this uncle, and now he has found true love, and he and Xiao Fang are true love?"

A group of little kids started arguing, it was so lively.

Li Jun and the others standing by were all dumbfounded, but Liu Qingqing was very interested and even had the urge to join in the discussion, "Brother Yuan, kids nowadays are so sensible!"

So, you call this being sensible? Wei Jing's chest was heaving, and he had a feeling of depression that he wanted to vent.

But now he can only endure it and has no way to vent the anger in his heart, which makes him very uncomfortable.

"Old Wei, tell me what you think of Old Fan now?" Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

Wei Jing looked at Lin Yuan in astonishment. For a moment he didn't know how to answer. He was a little confused about the attitude of the "store manager".

Logically speaking, the "store manager" has already agreed to the marriage between Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan, so there should be no further complications.

People like him who have emotional entanglements with the ghost catcher Lao Fan should be persuaded to break up directly to avoid any further contact with the ghost catcher Lao Fan, which would affect the relationship between him and Fang Shiming.

But what is the situation now?

Ah Hong suddenly stepped forward and said, "Boss Lin, in fact, Lao Wei has always talked to us about him and Lao Fan in private."

She paused and looked at Wei Jing deliberately.

Seeing that Wei Jing had no intention of stopping him, he continued, "He still had feelings for Lao Fan, but what happened in the past was a hurdle in his heart. He always thought that Lao Fan's later embarrassment was caused by him, and he was a little afraid to face Lao Fan. But when he heard that Lao Fan and Xiao Fang were going to get married, he was able to look directly into his heart and found that his feelings for Lao Fan were that kind of sincere... love."

When the word love was mentioned, Wei Jing, Li Jun and Zhang Lei all shuddered.

There's no way. Falling in love with a ghost, especially a strong-looking male ghost, is simply too shocking.

For a moment, Li Jun and Zhang Lei once again looked at Wei Jing with pity and admiration, while Wei Jing had a face full of despair and despair.

Public is public, private is private.

Agreeing to the headquarters' arrangement, agreeing to rob the bride, and stating the emotional entanglement between himself and a ghost, this is public.

Feeling disgust or even nausea in your heart is selfish.

Wei Jing did a great job of not sacrificing public interests for the sake of personal interests, and his current expression also corresponded well to the state that Ah Hong described.

Seeing Wei Jing "cooperating" so well, Ah Hong couldn't help but sigh in her heart: No wonder he can be the captain, it's not just because of his strength and character, his acting skills are also so good!
Although she was expressing her feelings, she hadn't finished speaking yet.

"In fact, when Lao Wei heard that Lao Fan was going to marry someone else, he had already collapsed. If this incident hadn't happened suddenly tonight, he might have been drunk. Don't you think so?" Ah Hong asked for confirmation.

Li Jun nodded immediately: "Yes, Lao Wei did ask us out just now. Let's go for a drink after get off work."

"In fact, Lao Wei was a little out of shape when he went to work, but he just held on. He didn't want to sacrifice his work for personal reasons, and he was determined to stay until the end of the day. Fortunately, this incident happened right after work, so he didn't miss it." Zhang Lei spoke nonsense in a serious manner.

Lin Yuan was very emotional. "So that's how it is. It's really hard for you, Old Wei. It's really sad that lovers miss each other because of various accidents. But now it seems that Xiao Fang and Lao Fan are together. The wedding is still going on. Maybe you can go and take a look."

"Really?" Li Jun and Zhang Lei were very excited.

Lin Yuan looked strange and said, "Why are you so excited? If someone didn't know, they would think your first love was snatched away by someone. How come you and Lao Fan also have a past?"

"No, no, we are happy for Lao Wei."

Li Jun and Zhang Lei waved their hands repeatedly. They wanted to share some of the burden with Wei Jing, but unfortunately they did not have the puzzle pieces of the ghost messenger, so they were not even qualified to enter.

Well, yes, that's it.

Wei Jing glanced at the two of them with resentment, and then said to Lin Yuan: "Boss Lin, so you also support me in taking back my love, love...love, right?"

If he could get the permission of the "store manager", he would be safe this time.

However, Lin Yuan shook his head. "Whether I support it or not is not important. What really matters is your own thoughts. If you and Lao Fan still have feelings for each other, I mean, if Lao Fan still has feelings for Xiao Fang, then letting him be with Xiao Fang with these feelings is also disrespectful to Xiao Fang. I believe Xiao Fang has the same idea and does not want his significant other to have another person in his heart."

After a pause, he asked Li Jun, "Xiao Fang and Lao Fan, they shouldn't have obtained their marriage certificate yet, right?"

"No, they don't have the time yet." Li Jun replied quickly. He had roughly guessed what the "store manager" was thinking and suddenly became a little excited.

This is the opportunity!

"Since you haven't got a marriage certificate, it proves that you still have a chance. Go and settle the issues between you and Lao Fan. If Lao Fan still has feelings for you, then everything can still be saved and adjusted. If Lao Fan no longer has feelings for you, I hope you can accept this result and give Lao Fan a chance to choose his future and happiness." Lin Yuan said seriously.

Looking at his appearance, he is clearly a caring older brother who is comforting his brother who is in a state of confusion due to emotional setbacks.

For a moment, Wei Jing was actually a little moved.

He nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I understand, Boss Lin. No, Brother Yuan, thank you for enlightening me in this way. No matter what the final result is, I will be grateful to you and will be grateful to you for the rest of my life."

This is a true expression of my feelings, and anyone can see it.

It’s just that Ah Hong and Tong Qian both had strange looks on their faces, and they thought: This Old Wei, I don’t think he has really been completely immersed in the situation, but... it’s quite interesting.

After Wei Jing made his decision, he ran straight towards the busy open space.

Liu Qingqing had watched the show to the fullest and wanted to join in the fun, so she suggested, "Brother Yuan, let's go together."

Lin Yuan said: "What does it matter if we go over there to discuss their emotional issues?"

"It's because this is an emotional issue that it's more likely to go wrong. Brother Yuan, don't forget, there are so many guests here. They must be Xiao Fang's relatives and friends if they can come to this wedding banquet. If a fight really breaks out, these people can drown Lao Wei with just a mouthful of spit. Only you, Brother Yuan, can prevent this tragedy from happening!" Liu Qingqing advised.

After these words were spoken, the first people to change their expressions were not Lin Yuan, but Li Jun and others.

Tong Qian immediately said, "I think what Xiao Liu said is correct. We should indeed go over and take a look. At least we can't let any harassment happen at the scene."

Li Jun, Zhang Lei and Ah Hong also quickly voiced their support.

Just as Liu Qingqing said, there are several thousand people here. It seems that all the residents in this area have been called over and gathered here.

And their identities have obviously become Fang Shiming's relatives and friends, or neighbors, colleagues, etc.

If Wei Jing goes down to "rob the bride", what will be the result if Fang Shiming gives the order?
do not forget.

Around the "store manager", unless the "store manager" allows, like when Ye Zhen fought with Yang Xiaotian in the Gengshen year, no one can use supernatural powers and can only be an ordinary person.

Although Wei Jing is an active-duty soldier, he is strong enough to defeat seven people with his bare hands and remain unscathed.

But he couldn't do it by fighting thousands at a time!
Moreover, these are ordinary residents who have been affected by Fang Shiming's unknown means. Wei Jing may not be able to fight back. By then, the captain of the headquarters will be beaten to death by a group of ordinary people. What a ridiculous scene that would be.

Lin Yuan naturally knew their concerns and couldn't help but want to laugh.

At present, all situations are proceeding according to his plan. Even the incident suddenly caused by Fang Shiming is still firmly under his control.

Thousands of people besieging one person?
This kind of thing would never happen unless Lin Yuan allowed it.

The only thing that made Lin Yuan feel a little emotional was that Fang Shiming's move this time was indeed a bit big, and his purpose was a bit confusing, so he couldn't see it clearly at the first time.

His arrival did not bring about the arrival of the white fog ghost realm.

In other words, the ghost domain of the ghost catcher is already a part of Lin Yuan’s own spiritual world, so this place is originally his ghost domain, and everything that happens here cannot escape Lin Yuan’s eyes.

But he still didn't understand why Fang Shiming did this.

He must be present at the wedding of Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan, otherwise it would not be a formal ceremony for controlling the ghost catcher.

There is no way Fang Shiming is unaware of this.

But what if we want to take advantage of this rehearsal opportunity to get rid of Wei Jing and Guo Fan, the two people who possess the ghost catcher puzzle and are most likely to cause trouble?

Doesn’t he know that the people at headquarters can also “summon” him?
"What on earth is Fang Shiming doing? But it's not bad this way. Everything is under my control. That would be too boring."

Lin Yuan's mood began to improve.

That's the feeling of suddenly encountering something interesting after being bored for too long.
