I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 747 The Composed He Yin'er
"He Yin'er is quite composed. Did she not understand Fang Shiming's hint, or did she understand but choose not to join in, wanting to continue living that so-called peaceful life?"

Within minutes, Liu Qingqing, He Yuelian, and even Tong Qian began to warmly welcome Lin Yuan.

Needless to say, Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian had already expressed their desire to win over the "shop manager" before, and now they were simply continuing their previous attempts.

Tong Qian's sudden arrival startled Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian, and they were both furious.

Fortunately, Tong Qian's performance was very direct and also very awkward. She was completely clueless about how to pursue her "crush" and missed the mark in many ways.

In Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian's eyes, although Tong Qian had joined the battlefield, she was not much of a threat, only a source of anger.

So the two of them actually teamed up and started subtly undermining Tong Qian, as if they wanted to get rid of the new competitor first.

On the contrary, He Yin'er continued to watch the show from the sidelines, appearing very calm.

Lin Yuan watched all this with a cold eye. It was all just an act, after all. He had to give them some hope. He couldn't let them think that the path he had named "Goddess" was blocked. Otherwise, wouldn't he lose a lot of fun?
However, He Yin'er remained calm and didn't join in. She just quietly kept busy with the shop's affairs, even if they were just small things.

"Or is it that this woman is actually the most clear-headed one, and understands what I need most? If that's the case, then I really have to look forward to it."

At six o'clock, Wei Jing came downstairs alone, looking rather dejected.

As soon as he came down, Liu Qingqing and the others quieted down for the time being. They were clearly very sensible and knew that they shouldn't be too outrageous when there were outsiders present, lest they embarrass the Peace Hotel.

"Old Wei, what's wrong?" Guo Fan quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

Wei Jing shook his head and walked up to Lin Yuan, saying, "Boss Lin, Lao Fan still chose Xiao Fang just now. I know they are now a couple, but I don't approve of Lao Fan being with someone who would push him forward as a shield. Boss Lin, you are Lao Fan's boss, do you agree with what I said?"

Lin Yuan laughed, "Xiao Wei, don't try to trap me. Relationships are about mutual consent. What seems dangerous to you might be something Lao Fan is willing to do. Of course, I'm not saying Xiao Fang's choice is right, but some things are only truly understood by the parties involved. You two should handle your relationship issues yourselves. I won't interfere, nor do I have the right to. Understand?"

This kid couldn't handle Ghost Messenger Lao Fan on his own, so he came to find outside help. I really don't know if it was his own idea or if it was a suggestion from headquarters.

Unfortunately, Wei Jing did find the right direction.

With just a word from Lin Yuan, or even just a thought, the ghost messenger Lao Fan would immediately abandon Fang Shiming. But the question is, why would he do that?
The "marriage" between Ghost Messenger Lao Fan and Fang Shiming is a benchmark set by Lin Yuan, a way for everyone to understand how to deal with certain special beings in the Peace Hotel.

This greatly boosted the morale of a group of Ghost Tamers who were doing relatively well, which made Lin Yuan very satisfied.

If he could separate Ghost Messenger Lao Fan and Fang Shiming with just a word, would that mean that what these people had obtained at great cost could also be decided by Lin Yuan with just a word?
Of course, this is a universally acknowledged fact, but some facts can be consciously ignored, treated as unknown, or even as non-existent, as long as they are not made public.

Whether it's self-deception or something else, in the history of the Peace Hotel's development, this is a very good growth plan, and of course, it's impossible to bring down Fang Shiming, who is the benchmark.

Some things are really not suitable to be brought into the open!

Unless Lin Yuan stops running the Peace Hotel, abandons his previous ideas and beliefs, and instead uses his power to intimidate and acquire everything.

But what is gained by force will eventually be taken away by even stronger force!

Besides, relying on force to acquire resources and benefits is too exhausting. It's nothing like now, where everyone is basically scrambling to give money and resources to the store, and they do it willingly.

Even if they end up with nothing, they'll just blame themselves for being unlucky and not receiving enough resources, which is why they didn't succeed. Very few people will put the blame on Lin Yuan.

Between the two, even a fool knows which choice is the right one.

Wei Jing and the headquarters must know this, but they still want to try to find a way in through the "store manager". They are clearly only considering the interests of the headquarters and do not want Fang Shiming, who has a bad relationship with the headquarters, to control the power that can threaten the headquarters.

How could Lin Yuan possibly agree with such an idea?

Wei Jing's attempt to test Lin Yuan was destined to fail. He seemed to understand this as well, so after being rejected by Lin Yuan, he did not appear more dejected, but simply left helplessly.

Throughout the entire process, he never suggested buying another animal from the store, nor did he try to win over the starving old man like Lu Zhiwen did.

Is this a deadly battle with the ghost messenger, Lao Fan? Fine.

Lin Yuan didn't care much; as long as it didn't affect the development of the Peace Hotel, it didn't matter.

"Brother Yuan, Lao Fan and I are downstairs. He's recovered, so there definitely won't be a chaotic situation like last night tonight."

Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger Lao Fan came downstairs together.

One detail is that when Fang Shiming and the ghost messenger Lao Fan used to walk side by side, now he walks behind Lao Fan instead.

Such a subtle difference was quickly noticed by Liu Qingqing and the others, and they immediately had some thoughts and even some guesses in their minds.

Often, the order in which people walk also indicates their social status.

Previously, the human and the ghost walked side by side, indicating that their relationship was equal. The continuation of the "marriage" was more like a curse, allowing the human and the ghost to coexist peacefully and borrow each other's power, without one controlling the other.

But now it's different.

Because of the incident at the headquarters in Dajing City, Fang Shiming occupied a relatively low position in this relationship. As a result, now that he used the ghost messenger Lao Fan as a shield, his position in this "marriage" relationship has become even lower. Now it seems that it is no longer the continuation of the curse, nor is it a case of a man controlling a ghost, but rather a case of a ghost controlling a man.

Of course, what Liu Qingqing and the others cared about wasn't Fang Shiming's status; what they cared about was one thing:

A person's status in life can be improved through a normal lifestyle within a marital relationship!
In other words, as long as they can perform well enough, demonstrate enough value, and even make Lin Yuan do things that make him feel indebted to them, they can occupy a higher position in the relationship and gain greater influence!
This excited Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian immensely, clearly showing that they were both restless individuals.

Being the proprietress of the Peace Hotel doesn't give them as much power as being the owner themselves, but they both understand that everything depends on them taking the first step:
Only a well-developed boss lady can succeed!
This is the most basic point. Just like how Wu Zetian was able to usurp the Tang Dynasty and establish the Zhou Dynasty, wasn't it because she first became Emperor Gaozong's empress, and then gradually took control of the Tang Dynasty by taking advantage of Emperor Gaozong's illness and trust, and finally achieved the result of replacing the Tang Dynasty with the Zhou Dynasty?

So even if they have great ambitions, they must obediently play the innocent rabbit and complete the first step.

What they didn't know was that their little schemes had been completely exposed to Lin Yuan's "vision," making Lin Yuan realize for the first time that these two women had such ambitions.

Having grown up as an illegitimate child in a wealthy and powerful family like the Ho family, He Yuelian experienced too much intrigue and deceit, so it's understandable that she would have such ambition.

But Liu Qingqing is just an ordinary urban white-collar worker. Could it be that she has been watching too many dramas featuring strong female leads?

Or is it because of... Zhang Youhong's influence?
Lin Yuan seemed thoughtful, but didn't pay much attention. Instead, he was looking forward to their performance.

"Xiao Fang, you and Lao Fan are both part of our family. I introduced you two together because I don't want you to end up as enemies, or even blood enemies. Do you understand?"

Lin Yuan wouldn't break up the relationship, but a necessary warning was still needed.

To prevent Fang Shiming from using Ghost Messenger Lao Fan to do things he couldn't do, he wouldn't let the kid off the hook if he really got rid of Ghost Messenger Lao Fan!

Fortunately, Fang Shiming was very sensible. He lowered his head and said meekly, "Brother Yuan, don't worry. I will definitely treat Lao Fan well in the future and the same thing will not happen again."

He didn't explain, but just kept expressing his stance to Lin Yuan, which made Lin Yuan very satisfied.

"Alright, let's go. It's time to go to Old Zhang's funeral. Of course, we don't need so many people tonight. You can go if you want, or we won't force you if you don't."

After the ghost banquet ends, there's basically nothing left for the "guests" to do.

The group exchanged glances. Liu Qingqing and He Yuelian both expressed their intention to go, and Tong Qian also quickly chimed in. However, He Yin'er did not say she would go. "I'll stay here tonight on duty. If anything happens, I'll contact you, Brother Yuan."

"Okay, I'll treat you to overtime tonight."

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly added, "Make whatever you want to eat tonight. If you don't want to cook, you can have some late-night snacks delivered from your old town. Don't go hungry."
