I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 652 Guo Fan’s new target: Li Qingzhi!

"It just so happens that I have some time today, so let's go over and take a look, and see how your branch is preparing."

It's just past five o'clock, it's still early.

However, He Yin'er was surprised. She knew that Lin Yuan would definitely agree to her invitation, but she thought that would happen in a few days.

Fang Shiming is getting married to the ghost catcher Lao Fan today, and they have been delayed for most of the day. It is almost six o'clock in the afternoon.

This time is indeed very early for ordinary people. Some people are even still energetically living their nightlife until late at night or in the early hours of the morning.

But for the "store manager" who was used to going back to the house to rest at six o'clock, this decision was really surprising.

"Why, you're not welcome?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

He Yin'er quickly shook her head and said with a bright smile: "How could that be? Brother Yuan, if you are willing to go at this time, I will naturally welcome you and be very happy."

This also shows that the "store manager" still attaches great importance to her.

This made He Yiner happy from the bottom of her heart. After all, she had been marginalized for a long time.

Ever since she started to be in charge of Ghost Lake Fish Pond, she was unable to use wooden men to help her watch the store like Liu Qingqing did because she was unable to do everything in two places. Instead, she ran to the "store manager" to show her presence.

Moreover, Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian were having a fierce fight now, and she didn't want to go over and join in the fun and let these two people turn their anger towards her.

This resulted in her, as one of the original four chefs, having fewer opportunities to show up in front of the "store manager" than Tong Qian, who was also beginning to be marginalized.

After all, Tong Qian usually works in the kitchen of the store.

Now Lin Yuan is willing to give up his time to rest early at night for her... Glancing at the still paused game interface, He Yiner pursed her lips.

Since Lin Yuan has made the decision, there is naturally nothing to say, just leave.

"Xiao Guo was emotionally hurt today, and it will probably take him some time to recover. Xiao Liu, contact him and tell him to take three days off with pay."

When going downstairs, Lin Yuan thought about the ghost taxi incident and also thought of Guo Fan.

Liu Qingqing nodded, "Okay, I'll call Xiao Guo right away."

"Then how do we get there now? Do we need to wait for the bus?" He Yiner asked.

In fact, if they wanted to leave the Peace Hotel and return to their own city, they only had to walk out of the bluestone path and they would be able to leave through the supernatural medium.

But the "store manager" is different. This is a part of his consciousness that he has cut out, and it only has the cognition of a normal person.

The directional portal is not opened to Ohara City, so it is naturally impossible to be so easy and casual.

"Can you drive?" Lin Yuan asked instead of answering.

He had promised Guo Fan before that he could drive the Ghost Taxi home after get off work, which could be considered a small benefit for the driver.

This morning, Guo Fan drove a ghost taxi to the store, and then took the ghost bus with them to Dajing City, so the ghost taxi is still parked next to the bus stop.

As long as someone opens it, it can be used.

"I, Boss, I can drive!"

Guo Fan's voice came along with the sound of a cell phone ringing.

Several people looked in the direction of the sound and saw Guo Fan walking quickly in from the store door.

At this moment, Guo Fan's face was pale and he looked listless, but his clothes were neatly dressed. Although his eyes were red, he still forced himself to be energetic and forced out a smile.

This is clearly the image of a tough worker who is seriously injured but pretends nothing has happened and still goes to work.

Liu Qingqing glanced at Lin Yuan and hung up the phone. At the same time, Guo Fan's phone stopped ringing. "Xiao Guo, Brother Yuan just said that he will give you three days off. Don't worry, go back and have a good rest and relax for a few days."

"Thank you Sister Xiao Liu, thank you Brother Yuan, but it's not necessary. What happened between Lao Fan and I is just our private matter, and it will not affect my work. I must distinguish between public and private matters, I am very clear about this and I can do it. Brother Yuan, if you need a car now, I will drive right away." Guo Fan said solemnly.

Sister Xiaoliu?
Liu Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly. She had never heard Guo Fan call her like that before.

On the contrary, Guo Fan is usually very proud, as if he is not just a ghost taxi driver, but the manager of the Peace Hotel.

That kind of momentum cannot be hidden in any way.

How come now, Guo Fan seems to be a lot more restrained, and there is no trace of arrogance in his words, as if he is speaking sincerely.

Is it real or just pretending?

No matter which one it was, Liu Qingqing found that she could not see through Guo Fan. She was even more surprised and thought to herself: It’s just a failure in snatching the bride, why did he change so much?
Can emotional matters really change a person so much?

But why don’t I have this feeling?
"Well, it's a good thing to focus on work. Let's do this, you drive, but you have to concentrate and don't drive the car into the ditch." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

Guo Fan's eyes flashed with excitement, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, I will definitely concentrate on driving."

The fact is just as he said, although Guo Fan's current condition seems very bad, but when the Ghost Taxi was activated, he was extremely focused, without any distraction.

The car drove very steadily along the way.

Lin Yuan sat in the passenger seat, looking at the foggy road ahead, and suddenly asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

This question was a bit confusing, but Guo Fan understood it and answered seriously: "Work hard and make good money in the future. Only when you have strong enough strength and the capital to guarantee your other half's happiness, can you truly give your other half happiness."

Lin Yuan turned his head to look at him and said, "That's a good idea, but you know that's not what I'm asking."

Guo Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yuan, I understand what you mean. I can only say that you should try your best to stick to your post. Xiao Fang and Lao Fan both work in the store, so it should be difficult for us to meet them normally, so they won't be reminded of the past. Of course, I will also try my best to get out of the current predicament and work hard."

"There are still many beautiful things in the world. Look at the world and you will find more things worth pursuing." Lin Yuan comforted her.

Guo Fan seemed to have really listened to him. He nodded heavily and said, "I understand, Brother Yuan. Just like in our store, besides Lao Fan, there are many good people who deserve more attention and attention."

Ok?
Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, while Liu Qingqing and He Yiner looked over at the same time, their eyes gradually becoming dangerous.

It’s because the meaning of Guo Fan’s words is already very clear. Although the ghost catcher Lao Fan is gone, he has set his sights on other people.

And this person... "For example, Lao Li, he works diligently for the store, and everyone can see it. Such a focused person is also particularly attractive, charming, and admirable."

What?
Guo Fan's words made Liu Qingqing and He Yiner, who were originally a little disgusted, suddenly not know what to say, and they even couldn't believe their ears.

So, since their previous plan to target the ghost messenger Lao Fan failed, now they turn around and set their sights on Li Qingzhi?

You are a grown man after all. Why do you always keep your eyes on a man's corpse?

There are several beautiful girls in the store, including twin little girls, but you didn't notice them at all and just stared at the bodies of those grown men, right?

Guo Fan, ah Guo Fan, you are such a man!
Liu Qingqing's eyes were suddenly filled with reverence, as if she was looking at some incredible existence, and also full of exploration.

He Yin'er secretly shook her head, as if she was regretting something.

Lin Yuan was silent for several seconds, and finally did not say much, but just reminded, "Lao Li's situation may be more complicated than Lao Fan's, and he is more focused on work and career. Of course, I have said before that I will not interfere in the personal relationships between employees, but it must be a matter of mutual consent. You cannot force the other party, understand?"

Force the other party?

When Guo Fan heard this, he almost turned the steering wheel into the ditch.

Considering the power comparison between him and Li Qingzhi, even if he wanted to force someone, it should be Li Qingzhi who should force him. How could he be qualified to force Li Qingzhi!

But he also understood what Lin Yuan meant.

If you want to get closer to the employees in the store, or even marry them like Fang Shiming and the ghost catcher Lao Fan, and control their supernatural powers in this way, it is theoretically possible, but it also requires a prerequisite.

That is the supernatural puzzle that possesses each other!

Only if you have the puzzle piece, you are qualified to talk about other things, just like kidnapping a bride. If Wei Jing and Guo Fan did not have the ghost catcher's puzzle piece on them, they would not be qualified to be one of the protagonists of today's scene.

But, what about Li Qingzhi?

In the past, Li Qingzhi's puzzle was dismembered and was on Yang Jian's body. Later, in order to put it together into a complete set of seven elder ghosts of the Republic of China, Lin Yuan asked Meng Xiaodong to make a piece of clothing and exchanged the headless ghost with Yang Jian.

The ghost head was also found in Okawa City.

Li Qingzhi now basically has no scattered supernatural puzzle pieces outside, which is also his professional explanation for "focusing on career and work".

If Guo Fan wants to "pursue" Li Qingzhi, the first thing he needs to do is to find another part of the supernatural power that matches Li Qingzhi's supernatural power, the kind that Li Qingzhi can value and desire to obtain.

Anyway, Lin Yuan is not very optimistic.

Seeing Guo Fan's serious expression, he didn't pour cold water on him. However, he always felt that this kid seemed to have other ideas.

As expected, none of these guys are easy to deal with.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and the ghost taxi was driving on the wide avenue filled with white fog. When the time was up, the white fog around it instantly faded a lot. At the same time, many buildings appeared on the empty streets on both sides.

This place is no longer a mysterious place, but an ancient town.

Ten meters away, you can see a standing plaque with four large characters written on it:

Taiping Ancient Town!

It was already evening and the sun had set, leaving only a little afterglow, but the ancient town of Taiping was still brightly lit, though there were fewer people.

There were only a few people standing at the entrance of the town, seemingly waiting for Lin Yuan and his group.

Seeing this, Guo Fan slowly stopped the car. He Yiner said at the right time: "Brother Yuan, I told you in advance that you were coming, so Boss Liu and the others are waiting. They can be regarded as a guide for you, Brother Yuan."

"You're too polite. Let's go. Don't keep everyone waiting." Lin Yuan nodded and got out of the car.

He Yin'er got out of the car right after him. Liu Qingqing, on the other hand, was not in a hurry. Instead, she said to Guo Fan, "If you need any help, as long as it does not involve issues of principle, you can come to me."

Guo Fan was obviously stunned for a moment, and quickly called out: "Sister Xiao Liu, what do you mean?"

He had dealt with Liu Qingqing frequently in the past, but he had never seen Liu Qingqing so easy to talk to.

"Just consider it as a reward for you calling me Sister Liu." Liu Qingqing didn't say anything else. Lin Yuan had already gotten off the car for a while, and she couldn't waste time here.

Looking at her back, Guo Fan frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. So he simply stopped thinking about it and parked the car in a parking space on the side of the road without getting out to follow her.

As a driver, you must have the awareness of a driver.

Guo Fan has a deep understanding of this.

Just losing the ghost position made Guo Fan's body weak, and now he felt an inexplicable chill, which made him tighten his clothes and huddle in the taxi with his eyes closed to rest.

"Boss Lin, welcome, welcome!"

Boss Liu came up with the faceless man and the middle-aged woman. The smile on his old face was as bright as a flower. His attitude was indeed impeccable.

Lin Yuan smiled and exchanged a few pleasantries, then they walked towards the town together.

The town is almost 99% restored to the ancient Taiping town that was damaged by the water source. It is surrounded by quaint buildings with lighted red lanterns hanging at the doorways, illuminating the streets of the town very brightly, without being affected by the night sky at all.

There are quite a few shops open on the roadside, but it is basically the business owners who are busy and there are not many customers.

"The town has not officially opened yet, but it has already attracted a large number of businesses to settle in. We plan to organize a joint event on the day when the branch opens. It has been promoted nationwide, and I believe that many guests will come by then."

Boss Liu introduced the matter with a smile and also put the matters of the branch store first.

This was something he had discussed with He Yiner. After all, the most important thing was the opening of the branch.

Today's Taiping Ancient Town is different from before. It no longer has the support of as many businesses as on the Ghost Street. Although there is a fourth generation of necromancers, their influence is no longer as great as before.

If they want to restore the glory of Taiping Ancient Town, it will take more than just a few of them.

Therefore, borrowing the power of the Peace Hotel became a top priority, and it was also the reason why He Yiner took the initiative to invite Lin Yuan over today.
