I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 735 A "Blind Date" Column Across the Century

This is a box of Western medicine, just ordinary capsules, but although it looks like a box, there is actually only one capsule inside.

Lu Zhiwen was about to reach for it when Wang Xiaoming stopped him with one hand. "According to the store's rules, you pay with one hand and take the medicine with the other. I don't have any money on me right now, so I can't pay for you."

Lu Zhiwen nodded and took out two life-saving bills from his pocket.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoming glanced at him and then had the robot nurse bring out a box of medicine. "You can study it if you want, but you'd better be careful. I've tried it in real life, but after breaking its outer shell, there was only a cloud of white mist inside."

Lu Zhiwen wasn't surprised that his thoughts had been seen through. He simply nodded and took the two boxes of medicine, then opened one box and took out the capsules inside.

It is indeed a very ordinary capsule, and it looks like a pure white capsule.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the capsule is not pure white, but transparent. It is only because the white mist inside is crowded together that it appears this way.

If the white mist weren't in a foggy state and didn't occasionally move, Lu Zhiwen would have had a hard time noticing this situation.

So, it really is the power of the Ghost Realm?

Despite having already suspected it, Lu Zhiwen still couldn't help but sigh.

"Since you've made your decision, don't hesitate any longer, or leave now. Lu Zhiwen, you're quite capable; you should know very well that what you did before was nothing more than..."

Wang Xiaoming paused, then calmly stared into Lu Zhiwen's eyes and said, "It's just self-deception."

Lu Zhiwen wasn't angry because he was also very clear about this. Given his personality, he wouldn't get angry just because someone pointed it out; that would be a sign of incompetence.

Although he currently lacks the strength and confidence to face the Peace Hotel.

Picking up a pill, Lu Zhiwen asked, "What's the name of this medicine?"

"A special medicine for taming animals," Wang Xiaoming said.

"Good name, straightforward and direct. It seems your business has been doing quite well lately."

Without waiting for Wang Xiaoming's reply, Lu Zhiwen put the pill in his mouth, just as the robot nurse thoughtfully handed him a glass of water.

With the pills already in hand, Lu Zhiwen no longer had as many concerns about what he ate at the Peace Hotel, and besides, it was common sense to drink water before taking medicine.

He swallowed the pill with warm water.

The next moment, he clearly felt the pill melting in his body, and a cold aura surged out and flowed into his limbs and bones.

At the same time, his almost resurrected supernatural power, which had been temporarily suppressed, seemed to be strongly affected, turning from a volcano that had been suppressed and was about to erupt into a dormant volcano.

"It really is a miracle drug; it works immediately after you take it," Lu Zhiwen praised.

Wang Xiaoming didn't look at him again, got up and walked towards the door. "You must have something important to do here, so go ahead and get busy. I also have my own things to do."

"understood."

Lu Zhiwen put the second box of special medicine into his pocket, left the Western medicine clinic, and returned to the lobby on the first floor through the teleportation portal.

The lobby on the first floor was bustling with activity at this time.

Lin Yuan had come downstairs at some point, and instead of appearing listless due to lack of sleep, he seemed quite energetic.

That look was clearly that of someone who likes to gossip.

Upon seeing Lu Zhiwen, he was still able to greet him with a smile, "How are you, Xiao Lu? Did Xiao Wang cure your illness?"

"Healed. Mr. Lin, were you talking about what happened last night?"

Lu Zhiwen nodded and naturally walked over to Tong Qian, Guo Fan, and Wei Jing's group, but to his surprise, he couldn't find the ghost messenger, Lao Fan.

Lin Yuan nodded. "Yes, it's a case of both sides having their own reasons. By the way, Old Fan isn't feeling well, so we've asked Old Zhang to take him to see a doctor. Xiao Lu, you came with Xiao Wei and Xiao Guo. Who do you think is right?"

Ok?
Everyone was somewhat surprised when they heard that Lin Yuan wanted Lu Zhiwen to speak.

Fang Shiming was especially anxious, "Brother Yuan, Lu Zhiwen and Wei Jing are together. Let him speak. Isn't that a definite answer?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "You've all said a lot just now, and I'd like to hear more opinions from others. Xiao Fang, I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Fang Shiming was indeed very anxious, but since Lin Yuan had said so, he could only suppress his anxiety and look at Lu Zhiwen with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.

It wasn't that he didn't know how to win people's hearts, but rather that he had completely fallen out with headquarters. Even if he gave Lu Zhiwen a nice face now, it wouldn't make Lu Zhiwen speak up for him. It would be more pleasant to follow his own heart.

Lu Zhiwen sensed something was amiss. Especially seeing the worry in Tong Qian, Wei Jing, and Guo Fan's eyes, his heart sank.

Guo Fan had reported what happened last night to the "shop manager" at the old house in the woods late at night, so he should have already formed a preconceived impression.

But what's going on now? Is the "store manager" unaffected by preconceived notions, or is he really going to favor Fang Shiming just because Fang Shiming is his employee?
Despite his unease, Lu Zhiwen couldn't switch sides, so he quickly gave his answer: "Boss Lin, I think that no matter what, a person who would let their partner take the blame for them in a dangerous moment is more hateful than someone who would abandon them in times of trouble."

In an instant, the killing intent in Fang Shiming's eyes almost solidified into a tangible form.

Lin Yuan seemed to agree with this reasoning, but his next words stunned everyone: "What you all said makes a lot of sense, but there's something you need to understand. I'm not a judge of emotions, and I can't judge whether someone's actions are right or wrong. Xiao Fang, from a personal standpoint, I don't like your choice last night."

Fang Shiming panicked, "Brother Yuan, I..."

"Let me finish," Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop Fang Shiming's explanation. "However, I respect your own choices. You are the parties involved in this matter, but the most important party is still unconscious. We don't know what Lao Fan is thinking either. If he still wants to be with you, then there's nothing to say. Xiao Wei, Xiao Guo, you don't need to stand up for anyone. Everyone has their own choices and their own principles, and they must be responsible for their choices. Lao Fan has his own choices, and it's not up to you to make those choices for him, nor for me to judge who is right and who is wrong. So, let's put this matter aside for now and ask Lao Fan after he wakes up."

Lin Yuan's words silenced everyone.

Everyone knows that the so-called "Old Fan's choice" is actually just the "store manager's" will, but now the "store manager" has already said so.

From the perspective of an ordinary person's normal worldview, the "store manager's" choice was not wrong.

Upright officials can hardly break housework!
Moreover, the "store manager" is just a boss and has no other identity. Even the "family member" identity is just an analogy, not a blood relationship, so there's nothing else to say.

Then, everyone fell silent.

After a short while, Fang Shiming stood up and said, "Brother Yuan, I'll go upstairs and wait. That way, I can keep an eye on things if anything happens."

“I’ll go too!” Wei Jing stood up immediately afterward.

Lin Yuan glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and simply waved his hand. This made the two of them happily walk upstairs. However, the tension between them could be clearly felt even from more than ten meters away.

"Boss Lin, don't you really have any ideas?" Lu Zhiwen leaned forward.

Seeing that Lin Yuan had already started playing the computer game on the cashier's counter, he couldn't help but ask this question.

"Xiao Lu, some things are best left to fate."

This is pure deception.

Lin Yuan knew, and Lu Zhiwen knew too, but Lu Zhiwen couldn't do anything about it. After all, it was a "store manager" market now. Whether in terms of strength or choice, they had no choice but to accept it and play the game within the rules drawn by the "store managers," without being able to overstep them.

In fact, they were right; Lin Yuan still favored Fang Shiming.

That was a benchmark he had created, and in order to gain the "favor" of the employees at the Peace Hotel like Fang Shiming, the hotel's daily revenue had recently increased by more than two to three times.

Although such gains wouldn't be of much benefit to Lin Yuan, every little bit helps.

Most importantly, the "marriage" system he built cannot be broken just like that, otherwise all the effort he put in before would be a complete waste.

Fang Shiming is such a useless kid.

No, it's not that it's useless, it's just that it's stubborn.

Just like back when nothing had even started, he dared to be so reckless as to attack the Peace Hotel without understanding the situation, and used the Ghost Scissors to cast a curse on Lin Yuan.

Now, relying on the fact that there are over a hundred slots for suppressing ghosts, they dare to use ghosts to directly withstand the impact of the supernatural bus.

If this kid were to learn a set of external martial arts techniques, he'd probably dare to take a bullet head-on and end up killing himself. So this time, Lin Yuan taught Fang Shiming a lesson.

Even if we don't let him be too cowardly, we can't let him be too arrogant either. We can't always make him, as the boss, clean up after Fang Shiming, can we?

So, this ghost messenger, Lao Fan, shouldn't wake up for the next couple of days. Let Fang Shiming have some time to worry.

And then there's Guo Fan, who actually allied with Zhang Youhong. Doesn't he worry about whether he can outsmart her?

Honestly, they have absolutely no self-awareness.

However, having Guo Fan and the Gengshen Year Mummified Bride hold hands seems like a good option, and then he can have him compete against Fang Shiming.

Make the "marriage" system even more famous, and then launch a "blind date" program that spans the centuries.

Gee!

There's something going on!
