I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 755 Preparations: A Blind Date Across Time and Space

Late at night.

Guo Fan drove the ghost taxi to the old house in the forest again, but this time there was only Lin Yuan in the car, without women like Liu Qingqing, Tong Qian, and He Yuelian.

They did want to come, but unfortunately, the "store manager," who was always extremely lenient with them, directly refused their request this time.

This seems to foreshadow something very special tonight.

Tonight, the old house in the woods is empty of the other seven elders; only Zhang Xianguang and Zhang Youhong remain.

Zhang Dong's body was taken to the funeral procession and formally buried last night.

So the main hall of the old house was restored to normal, and it looked no different from usual.

Zhang Xianguang was still wearing mourning clothes, which contrasted sharply with Zhang Youhong's bright red cheongsam.

When Lin Yuan arrived, the atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense, as if something big was about to happen.

The two of them only breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Yuan arrived.

"Brother Yuan, you came just in time. If you had been any later, I don't know what I would have done."

Zhang Youhong patted her chest exaggeratedly, as if she had been greatly frightened.

However, that one "Brother Yuan" made Zhang Xianguang and Guo Fan turn their heads.

They all knew that the "shop manager" was quite old, possibly an old monster even older than the Seven Elders of the Republic of China.

But all along, the "store manager" has been like an ordinary person living in modern times, but now an old woman from the Republic of China era calls him "Brother Yuan".
It's just so strange no matter how you look at it.

Guo Fan was alright; he was just a little awkward. But Zhang Xianguang sensed something unusual about him.

Sometimes, the way a person addresses another and their tone of voice can also reflect their attitude and thoughts.

So, was Zhang Youhong not joking with herself before, and was she really preparing to take the path of "becoming a goddess" as the "Empress of Gods"?
But that's right.

The two nights before, the two talked a lot, and Zhang Youhong had already made her attitude clear at that time.

Perhaps, it's time for me to make a choice.

Compared to the four useless original cooks in the Peace Hotel, Zhang Youhong is clearly a better choice.

They have the willpower, the ability, and the courage.

Such partners are the ones you can truly trust.

"Alright, alright, stop being so ambiguous. People who don't know better might think we have something going on."

Lin Yuan made a joke, which surprised Zhang Youhong.

It's worth noting that the "store manager" almost never creates such an ambiguous atmosphere, not even in lighthearted banter.

But today, the "shop manager's" sudden change in attitude suggests that he is different from the four original female cooks.
This is right.

One's own charm is indeed irresistible to ordinary people, even to someone like the "store manager".

Hahahaha!

As the saying goes, extreme joy can turn to sorrow.

Zhang Youhong was like that; she hadn't been happy for long before Lin Yuan kicked her out of the old house.

Zhang Xianguang and Guo Fan were also kicked out along with her.

"It seems your charm isn't as great as I thought," Zhang Xianguang said expressionlessly.

Zhang Youhong snorted coldly and said irritably, "What do you know? He's protecting me. You may be a man, but you understand men far better than I do."

Zhang Xianguang glanced at her but didn't say anything.

It's no secret that this woman's attempt to teach Liu Qingqing how to seduce the "store manager" ended in failure. She was purely a theorist with little practical experience.

A woman like that isn't worth taking seriously.

Guo Fan was somewhat embarrassed and didn't respond to the topic. "Zhang Youhong, on the way here today, Brother Yuan told me that he is planning to hold a matchmaking event, and it will be held in the Year of Gengshen."

Zhang Youhong was clearly taken aback, looked Guo Fan up and down, and asked in confusion, "Do you hold such a high position in Brother Yuan's heart?"

"I really wanted to answer yes, but it's obviously impossible. I guess Brother Yuan wants to take this opportunity to make the Peace Hotel's reputation really famous in the Year of Gengshen, and at the same time take the opportunity to... gather some resources."

He actually wanted to say "profiteering," but that wasn't quite right, so Guo Fan changed his wording.

Of course, the meaning is similar.

Zhang Youhong said thoughtfully, "It should be. Holding a matchmaking event can sell tickets and promote their reputation at the same time. Wait, did you tell me this yourself, or did Brother Yuan remind you?"

Guo Fan said, "It was Brother Yuan who reminded me."

"So, I'll have a very important role in this matchmaking event? Could I be the matchmaker?"

Zhang Youhong's eyes flickered.

She actually wanted to ask if she could cooperate with the "store manager" to act out a scene, playing the role of a loving couple.

But in the end, he gave up on this unrealistic fantasy.

She wasn't a naive girl who loved to fantasize; she knew exactly how to maximize her own interests.

obviously.

A matchmaking event that receives such a reminder from the "store manager" must be no ordinary event.

But the specifics of the situation and what I need to do will only be clear after a detailed discussion with the "store manager".

Meanwhile, inside the lobby.

Lin Yuan overheard their conversation and nodded in satisfaction.

"Compared to Liu Qingqing and the others, Zhang Youhong is indeed a more suitable tool. As long as the Gengshen year progresses smoothly, it can be used as a template to continuously extend the era forward and fill in the eras within it to achieve better results."

Lin Yuan wants to bring together the past, present, and future, so naturally he needs to make more preparations.

In the past, things have been progressing very smoothly.

After this incident, if there are no major problems, we should go find Xiao Qin.

The supernatural ability to communicate with the future, while not a direct journey through or invasion of the future, is still a medium, opening a gateway to the future.

The opening is just too small, only allowing sound to pass through, which is why this situation has arisen.

In the final analysis, it is still not strong enough.

But once he has this ability, he believes he can do even more.

Time passed by, second by second.

It was almost midnight, and at this particular time, the back door of the old house suddenly creaked open.

It was as if someone had come in, bringing with them a gust of cold wind that blew in from outside.

"Are you here? I've been waiting for you for ages."

Lin Yuan did not get up and remained seated in the armchair in the main hall.

Opposite him, there was also a grand master's chair, seemingly prepared for someone else.

From the direction of the back door, a faint sound of footsteps rang out, gradually approaching, but not directly walking over; rather, it seemed to be checking something, and it was an unseen person.
