I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 762 The King of Volumes' Self-Cultivation

Wang Lu and his wife were well aware of how terrifying Zhangdong was.

It wasn't just because of the information left by the first generation of the Wang family before their deaths, but also because, in order to develop the Peace Hotel, they personally led the spirits of the first generation of the Wang family to see Zhang Dong.

But the result was chilling!

That terrifying power, which could almost reduce everything in the world to nothingness, still instills fear and unease in people even now, and makes them wonder what kind of person or power in the world could stand against Zhang Dong.

But if it's "store manager" or "he", it seems possible?

"Xiao Guo, you stay here for now. I'll come back later, and then we'll catch the train together."

Lin Yuan didn't plan to bring Guo Fan along when he went to see Zhang Dong. The kid had no connection with Zhang Dong, and bringing him along would make it difficult to discuss certain things.

After all, out of respect for Zhang Dong, he wouldn't use the title of "store manager".

Although Guo Fan wanted to broaden his horizons, he could only regretfully agree since Lin Yuan had already said so. He stayed at the branch and watched Lin Yuan and Zhang Youhong leave with great anticipation.

"Young man, don't be discouraged. Take a rest in the shop for a while. By the way, is there anything we can help you with this trip? In this day and age, my wife and I still have some influence." Wang Lu patted Guo Fan on the shoulder with a smile.

However, looking at Guo Fan's frail body, which resembled that of an ordinary person, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

If he remembered correctly, when Guo Fan went to the modern world before, he still had some supernatural presence in his body, although it wasn't very strong, but it was there to some extent.

In such a short time, Guo Fan has become an ordinary person without supernatural powers.

Could it be that something actually managed to take care of the "manager's" driver right under his nose at the Peace Hotel?

No, no, that's unlikely. Even Zhang Dong is wary of the "store manager," otherwise their Peace Hotel's Gengshen year branch would have been wiped out long ago, instead of remaining in the present.

So, it was Guo Fan who did something wrong and was punished by the "shop manager"?
That doesn't make sense either. If that were the case, the "shop manager" wouldn't have been so gentle with Guo Fan just now, and there was even an indication that he was taking care of Guo Fan.

What happened in all of this?
Guo Fan glanced at Wang Lu. Although he was young, he had experienced a lot in life and could roughly guess what Wang Lu was thinking.

Moreover, this involved his own status at the Peace Hotel, so he truthfully said, "Back in modern times, I gave away my possessions because of relationship problems. This time, I came here with Brother Yuan, and it was through Zhang Youhong's introduction that I'm going on a blind date."

Blind date?

Mr. and Mrs. Wang looked at each other in bewilderment, while Guo Fan suddenly realized the other meaning behind the "shop manager" keeping him behind:
Explain the situation of the matchmaking event to Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu!

This is a matchmaking event involving two eras. In the modern era, there is naturally a "shop manager" personally presiding over it, but things are different in the Gengshen year.

As the only branch manager for the Year of the Monkey, Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu are very likely to be responsible for hosting the matchmaking event in this area during the Year of the Monkey.

Since that's the case, then naturally we need to make things clear to them.

The store manager probably wouldn't care about such a trivial matter, so it's good to keep him, the person involved, around and explain the situation to Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lu, so as to save the store manager from having to waste his breath.

So that’s it!
Guo Fan's eyes lit up. Having understood the "store manager's" thoughts, he felt much less calculating and only loyal to the "store manager." "Manager Wang, let me tell you about this matchmaking event."

Manager Wang?
Wang Lu felt a little strange about the form of address, but he didn't correct it. "Alright, then... let's chat while we drink. I just got some new wine from the shop to sell, and it tastes pretty good." "Okay, then I'll gladly accept your offer!"

……

The Gengshen year branch is located in the suburbs of Dadong City. It was originally a barren land, but thanks to the influence of Wang Lu and his wife, the area has developed.

From the initial few buildings, it has now become a bustling street centered around the Peace Hotel.

How bustling is this street? Before, when we got to the tea stall where Zhang Dong was located, there used to be a wide-open road in the middle, but now there are scattered houses on both sides as we walk along.

What was originally a tea stall in the middle of nowhere now has the feel of a suburb of Dadong City.

The owner's face, which used to be weathered by time, is now often filled with a smile of longing for the future. Business is booming, with people coming and going in a lively atmosphere.

When Lin Yuan and Zhang Youhong arrived, a table of guests had just left, leaving them a seat.

"What would you two like to order?"

The shop owner noticed that Lin Yuan and Zhang Youhong were visibly startled when they sat down, because he hadn't actually seen them before. However, he didn't think much of it and assumed that he had just misjudged them.

Now that business is coming to us, how can we not do it?
"Bring a pot of tea and some snacks for three people," Lin Yuan said.

"Alright! Are there any guests who haven't arrived yet? Well, old man, I'll prepare three teacups first." The owner chuckled and called over his grandson, who was helping out, and soon everything needed was served.

Then, like the other guests around him, he subconsciously ignored Lin Yuan and Zhang Youhong's table.

Zhang Youhong thoughtfully picked up the teapot, poured Lin Yuan a cup, then stared intently at him and suddenly asked, "Is it...you?"

Lin Yuan picked up his teacup and took a sip.

It's just ordinary tea, the kind that would be very refreshing for most people. Lin Yuan can taste the flavor now, but as for being refreshing... well, that's about it.

Lin Yuan no longer needs such ordinary stimulants.

Setting down his teacup, Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Youhong, whose face was filled with curiosity, nervousness, and trepidation, and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Haven't you always wanted to see me? Why are you so nervous now?"

"I……"

Zhang Youhong opened her mouth as if to say something, but found that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

Back when she was still a remnant soul, she liked to sneak into the Peace Hotel late at night, hoping to see "him," but she never succeeded.

Every night is a waste of time, with no progress.

Now, she has found her whole self again and has also seen the "he" she has been longing for, but she has forgotten what to say.

That's really ridiculous.
