I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 649: Telephone Line Directly Connected to the Old House in the Forest
"Lao Zhuang, I appreciate your kindness, but we are a regular restaurant, and we believe in making money through harmony, not so much fighting and killing."

Lin Yuan said something to comfort him, but he also affirmed the manor owner's intention.

The owner of the manor then happily stood aside, just like Lin Yuan's bodyguard. Unfortunately, he was a little too old and looked more like a butler.

Ye Zhen on the side crossed his arms and said, "Boss Lin, don't you need help with the fight? In this case, I may not be able to help much."

The Dahai City Peace Hotel branch basically covers Dahai City and some surrounding districts, counties and towns.

There are a lot of people in the paintings of the Ghost Post Office competing for "business", which has caused the supernatural forum to appear a little powerless recently, and its control over Dahai City has been greatly reduced.

Ye Zhen didn't care too much about it.

As long as he is there, the supernatural forum will not collapse, and he doesn't care about whether he is in control or not. What he cares about is whether there is an opponent who can let him fight.

Doesn't he know that he has no chance of winning against Fang Shiming who controls the ghost messenger?

of course not!

When facing a strong enemy, one cannot retreat, but must face up to the gap and work hard to catch up. This is the quality that a truly strong person should have. What he wants to do is to personally experience the degree of terror of the ghost messenger Fang Shiming, so that he will have the motivation and direction to catch up.

In this situation, he didn't think he could be of any help to Lin Yuan.

fight?

There are many strong people in the Peace Hotel, and their strength is only stronger than his. The only thing that makes him stronger than others is probably that he is not an employee of the Peace Hotel.

If you go out and fight with someone, don't hold it against the Peace Hotel.

When Lin Yuan asked him for help, he had already imagined many terrible "business war" tactics, but now, he didn't even have to do anything.

Could it be that I was allowed to sneak into someone else's restaurant, break their clock, or pour boiling water on their money tree?
wrong!

Can anyone now compete with the Peace Hotel in terms of management?
Ye Zhen's thoughts were scattered, and he just sat there in a daze.

Lin Yuan didn't know what to say for a moment. Fortunately, the Peace Hotel was closed for the day, so he didn't have to worry about whether Ye Zhen's attitude would cause any bad influence.

There was enough time, so Lin Yuan simply waited for a while until Ye Zhen finished his wild imagination, and then he said, "Remember the old house where you worked as a housekeeper before?"

Ye Zhen's eyes lit up, "Of course I remember! Boss, what do you want me to do there? Actually, I have thought about going there to help out during this period of time, but I just can't find the way."

Can't find the way?

As long as you take the haunted bus, you will always pass by the old house in the forest, and it is impossible to get lost.

Ye Zhen just has some middle school syndrome, which doesn't mean he is stupid, so this situation is naturally impossible to happen, and there is only one real explanation.

It was Zhang Dong who didn't want Ye Zhen to go to his house again, so he deliberately stopped him.

Even though Ye Zhen acted very scary and powerful, and the scapegoat was almost immortal, in front of Zhang Dong, these were just tricks.

As long as Zhang Dong was willing, he could easily erase Ye Zhen's existence, leaving him without even the chance to die in his place.

Stopping Ye Zhen from going to the old house in the forest can only be said to be a technical operation. It is not a difficult task for Zhang Dong, but why did Zhang Dong do this?

Lin Yuan was a little confused for a moment, but he didn't need to figure it out. "Old Zhang's time is coming up, and he may have a lot of personal matters to deal with. It's normal for him to not want to see outsiders. But you have worked as a housekeeper for him for a while, I can recommend that you stay there for a while until he passes away. It's probably less than ten days away, so what do you think? Are you willing to go?"

"Of course!" Ye Zhen agreed immediately.

There was a Fu Shou Garden before Dahai City, and inside the Fu Shou Garden there was an endless cemetery.

This mysterious place is where Luo Qian, one of the Seven Elders of the Republic of China, buried himself. It was originally a treasure hunting place for Ye Zhen, and it also greatly enhanced his strength.

But it's different in this world.

As soon as the Endless Cemetery appeared, Lin Yuan brought it to his own restaurant. He packed up all the ghosts and supernatural items inside and took them away, leaving nothing for Ye Zhen.

In addition, Ye Zhen made a wish at the Fortune Cat in the Peace Hotel and obtained a list of world masters. However, his vision in selecting targets was so poor that he was trapped in supernatural places at any time.

In this way, even with the Peace Hotel, Ye Zhen's growth rate is already far lower than the normal historical line during the mysterious revival.

This is not possible!

Fang Shiming cannot sit idle. The love triangle between him, Wang Xiaoming, Guo Fan, Wei Jing, and the ghost catcher Lao Fan has come to an end today.

But the love-hate relationship between him and Ye Zhen has not ended yet.

Lin Yuan also planned to train another opponent for Fang Shiming, otherwise these people would lose their motivation, and who would he sell the goods in his own store to?

The more than one hundred suppression places for the ghost messenger are indeed terrifying.

With Ye Zhen's current strength, he would probably be suppressed as soon as they meet. But who said that just because Fang Shiming and Ghost Messenger Lao Fan are married, all of Ghost Messenger Lao Fan's power can be used by Fang Shiming?

Although a husband and wife are one, they also need to have their own private property.

Including aspects such as abilities, it cannot be said that just because Fang Shiming is married to the ghost catcher Lao Fan, then all of the ghost catcher Lao Fan's abilities will belong to Fang Shiming and he can use them, right?
How can this be done? Even after getting married, everyone must have their own private life and space. If we really do as Fang Shiming said, and carry the ghost catcher Lao Fan on our backs at all times after getting married, then that would be buying and selling marriages. It has no respect for human rights and is not advisable!
Besides, even if he got married, Ghost Messenger Lao Fan would still be an employee of the store, responsible for the store's security, and he wouldn't have much time to go out.

In this case, the restrictions faced by Fang Shiming will be greatly increased.

Otherwise, if Fang Shiming, with his complete form of ghost, were to travel around the world, then... this world would be too boring for Lin Yuan.

Of course, we can't restrict Fang Shiming too much, otherwise people will not see the benefits of "marriage", then who will run to the Peace Hotel? If you want to marry your "sweetheart", you must pursue the other person, right?
When pursuing someone, you always have to give gifts and treat them to a meal, right?
In this way, wouldn't the business get better? But the prerequisite is that Fang Shiming's strength has been greatly enhanced after marriage, but not to the point of being too foul.

These three days are a chance for Fang Shiming to flex his muscles and let the world see the real benefits of being "married" to the employees of the Peace Hotel. Only after he officially starts working after three days will Fang Shiming be restricted.

The limitations on strength are too great, which easily makes people think that the Peace Hotel is selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat, thus discouraging everyone's enthusiasm.

Therefore, restrictions can be imposed in terms of time and the "husband and wife" relationship. He has already thought about these things. After Fang Shiming ends his honeymoon leave, he will feel the terrifying oppression from "going to work".

This also gives others a chance to catch up.

Including Ye Zhen, his strength is still too weak.

The Endless Cemetery is already Lin Yuan's property, so it is naturally impossible for him to return it to Ye Zhen, or let Ye Zhen use it for free, but it is not possible for him to pay to enter it either.

In order to make money, no matter how favorable the project in Peace Hotel seems, the ultimate result is that the profits will be transferred to the hands of Peace Hotel, and the improvement obtained will be limited.

The old house in the forest is better.

There are one or several ghosts buried under every tree in that old forest, which makes it a perfect place for Ye Zhenxin to dig for treasure!

As for Zhang Dong’s unwillingness, we need to first find out why Zhang Dong is unwilling.

"I'll call and ask Lao Zhang what's going on. Please wait a moment." Lin Yuan said, and then went back to the cashier counter, picked up the landline phone, dialed a few numbers at random, and then waited.

Ye Zhen blinked and reminded, "Boss Lin, I stayed in the old house for a while before. There was no light in the house, let alone a phone. In other words, there was no electricity at all. You can't make the call."

"Nonsense! In this day and age, how is it possible that there is no electricity? Wait a moment, someone will answer the phone soon." Lin Yuan shook his head.

This Ye Zhen is really too naive!
The old house in the forest is still dark as always, as if the weather is always this kind of headache-inducing. It is easy to feel depressed if you look at it for a long time.

However, Zhang Dong did not feel that way. He had lived in this old house for decades.

After decades of living the same day, he has long been accustomed to everything here. On the contrary, if he really went to the normal world, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

Time flies so fast.

Zhang Dong sat on the armchair in the living room facing the door, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap, or as if he was waiting for the end of his life.

Until one moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the door, but his sight had penetrated the gate and fell on the old forest, and even on the winding road outside the old forest.

It was also dark here, but in the distance of the road, where it was difficult to see, a thin line of white mist, like a needle, pierced into this unknown area.

Looking closely, this thin line made of white mist looks very much like a real telephone line, and an older version.

This telephone line created by supernatural forces extends all the way along the road, as if it also has weight. In order to prevent it from falling to the ground, a bracket extends downward every hundred meters or so and penetrates deeply into the ground, forming the shape of a telephone pole.

When the white mist electric pole was driven into the ground, the soil on the ground suddenly climbed up along the white mist electric pole and soon wrapped the white mist inside.

In the blink of an eye, it looked like a normal electric pole, not much different from those in the countryside.

In this way, several electric poles were added along the way, and the white mist telephone line came to the path leading to the old house in the forest, turned a corner, and extended directly in.

Soon, the telephone line arrived at the front door and went straight in through the crack in the door.

"Although I haven't installed any telephone lines here, who would put a telephone line through the front door?" Zhang Dong's voice sounded slowly, and he slowly raised his head.

The ghost that had already entered the house was instantly wiped out by an eraser, disappearing without a trace.

But the white mist telephone line outside the door was still there and was not affected. Then it turned a corner, found a small hole in the wall, and crawled in.

This time, Zhang Dong did not make another move.

He just watched the white mist telephone wire crawling on the wall of his living room for a while, just like a normal electrician laying the wire, making it look very beautiful.

Then, the end of the telephone line outlined the shape of a small table in the air, and finally formed an old-fashioned landline phone on the desktop.

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

The landline phone rang crisply. Zhang Dong reached out his hand expressionlessly, picked up the buzzing microphone, put it to his ear, and then moved it slightly away.

The microphone suddenly seemed to come alive, shaking as the sound came out. Fortunately, it did not turn into a mouth or a face, otherwise it would be too exaggerated, almost like in a cartoon:

"Lao Zhang, this is too much! I was kind enough to have someone install a phone for you, and this is how you treat me? Do you know how expensive a piece of phone line is? Huh?"

Lin Yuan responded rudely.

In the Gengshen year and other timelines, he had never gained any advantage against Zhang Dong. Now that he finally found a chance to confront him openly, he should seize the opportunity, right?
That is Zhangdong.

If it was someone else, he would definitely just go straight through the phone line and confront the other person. Why would he continue to criticize or argue? It's just a waste of energy!
It was not until the microphone stopped shaking that Zhang Dong said nonchalantly, "These few wires are not worth much to a big boss like you, right?"

"It's not worth much, but I feel very upset."

Lin Yuan snorted coldly, and glanced at Ye Zhen who was dumbfounded. He didn't feel much sense of accomplishment, so he just said, "Let's talk business. Xiao Ye, do you remember that I worked as a housekeeper at your place last time? Why did you seal off your house and not let me go there again?"

Zhang Dong said, "Are you talking about the young man named Ye Zhen? He likes to cause trouble. In just a month, he dug up more than a dozen trees that I have planted for decades. If he comes again, I am afraid that he will dig up all the trees in this forest."

"That's perfect. He dug up the tree anyway, and he can digest the things grown under the tree." Lin Yuan said indifferently, "Or are you still providing raw materials to the coffin shop?"
