I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 624: Transaction · Pianist, Target: Dachang City · Yangjian
Not urgent?
How can I not be anxious!
Fang Shiming wished he could go back and get married right away, to put the matter in safe hands and make it a fait accompli so as to avoid any unexpected events in the end.

The headquarters is holding back and is determined to let Guo Fan and Wei Jing snatch the bride away. Do they really think he doesn't know?

Moreover, Guo Fan is a smart kid. He used the employee benefits and branch opening rights to gain the support of Yang Jian of Dachang City. And behind Yang Jian are two fathers, Yang Xiaotian of Gengshen Year and Yang Xiao of Ghost Post Office.

It is not clear how much support Guo Fan has received from Yang Jian. If Yang Jian were to ask these two fathers to help, it would be quite troublesome.

Not to mention Wei Jing, the headquarters has been frantically persuading the captains of various cities these days to help snatch the bride.

beat?
Of course we can’t fight.

The "store manager" will definitely be present at that time, but no one knows what the scene will be like, and Fang Shiming also feels a lot of pressure.

The battle with Ye Zhen made him deeply understand the limit of his own strength.

Although the ghost messenger Lao Fan follows him, he has not yet become his strength.

Even when he was in Dahai City, he could only borrow part of the power. When he really arrived at the wedding scene, perhaps because of the presence of the "store manager", the power of the ghost messenger Lao Fan would be completely unusable.

At the Dahai City branch, Fang Shiming’s face was extremely gloomy.

"There weren't many customers today when you came, Xiao Fang, you're not here to mess up my place, are you?" He Yuelian was very unhappy.

Since the launch of the new wine, the branch's business has improved a lot.

Especially those ghosts coming out of the ghost post office, they don’t like to order food. They will order a bottle of new wine when they come. When they get drunk, they will ask their companions to carry them back. They don’t stay in the store, but the profit is still quite good.

But what about today?
It can be described as deserted.

"You can't blame me for this. You must be aware of the effect of the maintenance device. If you really think the business is bad, you can report it to the store manager and ask Wang Xiaoming to stop producing this thing." Fang Shiming said lightly.

Once the maintenance device comes out, it is destined that the dead souls will no longer consume blindly in order to get drunk and feel the reality of their own existence, but save money to truly return to reality, to find their relatives, or enemies, or to find people who care about them.

Fang Shiming knew it, and He Yuelian knew it too.

She sneered, "You have a good plan. Come on, do your own thing."

She wasn't stupid enough to oppose the development of the maintenance device.

This is the latest big project developed by the "store manager". The profits are even higher than virtual games, and it is targeted at a specific group of people, which is a rigid demand.

If she dared to go to Professor Wang Xiaoming, who was taking the blame, to oppose this matter, perhaps the next moment, she would be fired from the restaurant and lose everything she had now.

Do you really think she is stupid?
Fang Shiming naturally wouldn't think she was stupid. He just wanted to get rid of He Yuelian. He didn't have time to chat with He Yuelian now.

There was no one in front of the old piano. Fang Shiming just took a look and sneered, "No need to wait. I'm not here to listen to the music. I got the manager's permission to talk to you about borrowing it. Or have you stayed here too long and given up hope of leaving?"

The next moment, an illusory figure appeared in front of the piano and then quickly solidified.

This is a foreign man in a tuxedo. He looked at Fang Shiming expressionlessly, but the expectation in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what. "Can you take me away from here?"

The pianist of the past was free.

Although he is confined in this cursed piano, he can feel a different charm through the world of consciousness constructed by the sound of the piano.

What's more, this ghost piano can also be moved.

He even relied on this supernatural power to build a completely unknown intelligence system right under the noses of the domestic supernatural community.

Its intelligence personnel are involved in various industries.

It's a pity that just for investigating the situation at the Peace Hotel, he completely sacrificed himself. Not only was he confined to the Peace Hotel, but also to a branch in Dahai City. Even the consciousness world of the piano curse could no longer contact the outside world.

It is clearly just a branch, but it possesses unimaginable power, isolating him from interaction with reality.

What’s even more infuriating is that, in name only, he became an employee of the Dahai City branch, but in reality he was more like a machine purchased by the Dahai City branch, with no personal freedom at all.

It was only a short period of one or two months, but he could already see the unchanging life for decades or even hundreds of years to come.

It makes people despair, but there is no chance to resist.

According to the rules after he "joined" the Peace Hotel, if you want to see him, you must invest at least three dollars to buy your life, otherwise he can refuse to show up.

It was the same just now, but Fang Shiming's proposal was too tempting.

If it were an ordinary person, he would just treat the other person as talking nonsense, but Fang Shiming was an employee of the Peace Hotel, so if what he said had only a slight possibility, he would take a gamble.

"Well, I'm getting married the day after tomorrow, and I'll need two musicians to play music. I've already applied to the store manager and got his approval, and you and Xianglan will go to the scene, and the reward will be three dollars." Fang Shiming briefly explained the situation.

The pianist was silent for a while, then said, "So it only takes half a day?"

"That's right. If you don't want to, I can go talk to the manager." Fang Shiming had a blank expression on his face. He could tell that the pianist was going to raise the price, but he was not willing to compromise at all.

When the pianist saw Fang Shiming's expression, he knew there was no way to talk further and had to agree.

Half a day is fine, at least I can get away from here and enjoy half a day of free time... Although I still have to perform, it is a rare chance to relax.

Unlike in this branch, those ghosts who are not even human will not buy his performance at all, but just look at him like a monkey, which is so hateful!

"At that time, someone might mess up the scene. I know your supernatural power can pull people into the world of consciousness through the sound of the piano. If someone takes action at that time, I hope you can help. As a reward, I can buy more free time for me." Fang Shiming said lightly. The pianist laughed softly, "So you want to borrow my power. If that's the case, your unconfirmed promise is not enough."

Fang Shiming sneered, "Don't think about bargaining. The reason why I want to borrow your power is because the sound of your piano can be interpreted as a lullaby in the store manager's cognition, which is more convenient. It doesn't mean that I don't have other means to use. You are just an option, not a must."

The pianist fell silent.

But he also knew that no matter what Fang Shiming said was true or false, he had no choice now unless he gave up this rare opportunity. "I need a vacation, two days a week."

"One day a week." Fang Shiming said.

"make a deal!"

The pianist agreed immediately, which surprised Fang Shiming. He then laughed and said, "It seems that I offered too high a price, but it doesn't matter. I, Fang Shiming, always keep my word. I will do what I promised. However, you have to wait until the day after tomorrow's wedding. You should prepare well, because there may be many people who need to be hypnotized by then."

The pianist is very confident about this. "As long as they are not people like the store manager, anyone who hears my piano will enter the realm of my consciousness and there is no escape!"

"Oh! I hope what you say is true."

After reaching the agreement, Fang Shiming did not stay any longer as he had to prepare other things.

For this wedding, he had originally planned to have a grand wedding, but after giving it some thought, he gave up the idea.

It’s not that I don’t have the qualifications and ability, but to avoid accidents.

A wedding is just a ceremony, a method, not a result or a purpose.

On this point, Fang Shiming saw it very clearly. If he had not wanted to make the "store manager" feel his importance to this wedding and to the ghost messenger Lao Fan, he might even have just casually worshipped heaven and earth at home and ended it.

But it’s not possible now, there must be a corresponding ceremony.

Traditional rituals can be used, but the time span is too long and the variables are too great. With the existence of a headquarters keeping an eye on him, he only wants to simplify the process rather than leave too many opportunities for the other party to take action.

Therefore, Western wedding ceremonies are simpler.

It can also be held in a grand manner, but the process required is very simple, and the actual ceremony may only take a few minutes.

During these few minutes, no matter how many means the headquarters has, they can only use them at this time. Otherwise, they can only watch themselves successfully control the ghost catcher and become the ghost catcher Fang Shiming.

"The pianist should be able to hold on for a few minutes. As long as I can use the pianist's spiritual power to restrict the consciousness of everyone except the store manager, I can take this opportunity to complete the final ritual."

On the way back, Fang Shiming's brain was working frantically, thinking about various details and alternative plans.

"The pianist is too arrogant. He doesn't know that there are always people who are better than him. Does he really think that no one except the store manager can counter him? Especially Yang Jian. This guy has a ghost dream. Maybe he can restrain the pianist's supernatural powers. But if it is just a ghost dream, maybe I can take the initiative to make a move."

Fang Shiming's eyes flickered, and finally he changed direction, no longer heading back to Dajing City, but heading south.

The headquarters is also monitoring Fang Shiming's every move. With satellite monitoring, even Fang Shiming cannot stop it unless he stays in the ghost realm and does not come out.

So when Fang Shiming changed direction, the headquarters immediately received the news and reported it.

Cao Yanhua looked tired, but he seemed to be in good spirits. It was obvious that he had not rested for a long time, and he was just forcing himself to stay awake by drinking coffee and strong tea.

Zhao Jianguo, Shen Liang and others present were in almost the same state.

Right in front of them, there were cups of strong tea, the kind that completely covered the surface of the water with tea leaves, and even the air was filled with the strong aroma of tea.

At this time, several people were staring at the big screen closely, and at the same time, a staff member reported: "After calculation, Fang Shiming's first large city to arrive on this trip is... Dachang City!"

"Dachang City? Yang Jian? I remember that Guo Fan seemed to have opened a branch in Dachang City. He should have gained the support of Yang Jian in this way. So Fang Shiming went there this time to deal with this variable in advance?" Zhao Jianguo quickly gave his guess.

Shen Liang said in a deep voice: "It's not that easy. The manager of the Peace Hotel has a good impression of Yang Jian and has always looked at him as a junior. No matter how bold Fang Shiming is, he can't kill Yang Jian directly. And Yang Jian's strength is not weak. His ghost clothes were sewn by Meng Xiaodong with the approval of the manager."

Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua are both senior colleagues who are even older than Mr. Qin. They are able to stay at the Peace Hotel and are nominally partners with the hotel, which is enough to show how terrifying they are.

As for the ghost clothes made by Meng Xiaodong, Yang Jian has also proved the horror of this ghost clothes in many supernatural events, especially its defensive and life-saving abilities, which are simply too much.

If Fang Shiming has already controlled the ghost, then there is naturally no need to say more.

There are more than one hundred faceless people to suppress him. The Ghost Messenger’s strength has surpassed everyone at the moment. No one can survive against the Ghost Messenger.

But Fang Shiming has only got the ghost coffin now. With such strength, it is impossible for him to kill Yang Jian.

This is also the unanimous view of people at the headquarters.

Cao Yanhua pondered and said, "Notify Yang Jian. No matter what, we cannot let Fang Shiming destroy the forces standing on our side. Also, what is the attitude of the captains from other places?"

"We've already contacted them. Cao Yang from Otsu City and Li Leping from Okawa City have made it clear that they will stand on Wei Jing's side." Zhao Jianguo reported, but his face didn't look good.

There are twelve captains in the headquarters, not counting Li Jun, Wei Jing and Lu Zhiwen from Dajing City, Yang Jian from Dachang City who stands on Guo Fan's side, He Yiner from Dayuan City whose heart and soul are at the Peace Hotel, and Zhang Xuan from Dayun City who is far away overseas. There are still several captains now, but in the end only two captains have made clear their positions.

Not only Zhao Jianguo, but everyone else was also very dissatisfied with this result, but there was nothing they could do.

Cao Yanhua was angry in his heart, but he appeared calm on the surface. "No problem. Just invite them to the wedding. It's rare to have a large-scale... event, and it can also allow everyone to get together. Although the current situation is getting worse, it is within the controllable range. In half a day to a day, no major problems will arise. When the time comes, the wedding gifts will be paid by the headquarters."

Zhao Jianguo and Shen Liang looked at each other and immediately agreed, and then went to arrange this matter. However, the thought of the so-called "gift money" made them very angry.
