I open a restaurant in Mysterious Recovery

Chapter 763 The Shackles Untied

The dull sound of footsteps slowly rose, growing louder as they approached. Soon, a pair of feet wearing cloth shoes appeared beside the tea table and sat down.

In the year of Gengshen, Zhangdong arrived.

He sat down to Lin Yuan's right, but his gaze was fixed on Zhang Youhong across from him, who was wearing a red cheongsam. His aged eyes held an unfathomable quality.

Lin Yuan smiled, continued drinking his tea, and watched the scene unfold with great interest without saying a word.

Zhang Youhong looked at Zhang Dong calmly, her eyes showing little emotion. "Yesterday I saw your corpse, but now I see you alive, just like you were decades ago. It's a strange feeling."

“Yes, it’s quite amazing. In my memory, you did look like this, but it was a bit blurry. Now it’s alright, there haven’t been many changes, just that it’s clearer.” Zhang Dong said slowly.

Then, the two fell silent, as if they had something to say but didn't know how to start.

Lin Yuan put down his teacup. "Should I leave?"

Despite this, he showed no intention of getting up. Then Zhang Youhong said, "Brother Yuan, there's no need. You guys talk business first. Given my current situation, we can reminisce later."

"to make."

Lin Yuan didn't refuse. "Old Zhang, my business is finished, and you've already moved into my shop. So, do you think you can go back now?"

“Yes, it’s time for me to go back. In this era, it seems I can no longer stop you. I just hope you won’t make this era a mess.” Zhang Dong’s tone was tinged with melancholy.

Lin Yuan laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, I don't need a broken toy."

The path to godhood he took involved the past, present, and future. Every step was extremely important, and it was destined that he could not mess up the past or the future, otherwise what would be the point?
He wouldn't even allow the Peace Hotel to be too dazzling.

Leaving aside the paranormal world, it's better for ordinary people to know as little as possible. Even if they do know something, they should control their information and not be too... clear about it.

Zhang Dong left without even drinking a bowl of tea.

“Based on my understanding of him, there should be at least one major battle between you two. It seems he has indeed changed a lot over the past few decades.” Zhang Youhong followed behind Lin Yuan, but was still thinking about Zhang Dong.

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "Tell me, what kind of person was he when he was young? Also, your relationship back then must have been more complicated than you think, right?"

"Yes, I had other considerations when I embarked on this path. One of them was to try reincarnation and see if I could successfully live a second life. If I could find a suitable path, then there would be no new era of the supernatural."

Zhang Youhong did not hesitate. Everything she had now belonged to the Peace Hotel, including herself, so naturally she could not hide anything from Lin Yuan.

When she lay in her coffin at the height of her fame, it was not only because her condition was indeed greatly affected at the time, but also because she wanted to take this opportunity to embark on a path that was not entirely new.

Such a person already existed in that era; she was a woman who appeared out of nowhere and had already lived a second life.

Zhang Youhong also drew on that woman's experience to forge her own path.

Unfortunately, the road ahead proved more difficult than anticipated. Just when Zhang Youhong had no way to back down, the woman suddenly went mad. Yes, mad. Her consciousness was impaired, and she remained in a state of constant confusion for a long time before disappearing without a trace.

Zhang Youhong was so angry she wanted to kill someone, but unfortunately, she had no way to turn back and could only go down a dark path. As a result, she succeeded in the era when she should never have succeeded.

It wasn't even about merging with a new soul; rather, it was about living out a second life as the most complete version of oneself, and all of this was because of the Peace Hotel and because of Lin Yuan!

"What's that woman's name?" Lin Yuan thought of Yang Jian's cousin, but it shouldn't be her.

Yang Jian's cousin must have come from the Caesars Hotel and lived through three lifetimes, meaning that Yang Jian's cousin's era was a period later than Zhang Youhong's.

Zhang Youhong shook her head. "That woman has no name, not even a code name. At least no one knows her, including me."

"Alright, I'll figure these things out when I have the chance to go there later." Lin Yuan waved his hand and continued walking forward.

Zhang Youhong hurriedly followed, and before she could say anything more, she suddenly sensed that Lin Yuan's demeanor had changed again. He was no longer like he was at the tea stall, as if he were floating on clouds, visible but untouchable. Instead, he had become much more approachable.

This closeness made Zhang Youhong feel a sense of loss, because she knew that "he" was gone, and "the store manager" had returned once again.

They returned to the branch smoothly, and Mr. and Mrs. Wang immediately came to greet them, "Mr. Lin, how did it go?"

"The talks went very smoothly. Old Zhang is very understanding. He won't hinder the development of the branch anymore. But how far it can go depends on your capabilities."

Hearing Lin Yuan say this, Mr. and Mrs. Wang were overjoyed.

As long as Zhang Dong doesn't stop them, with their capabilities and background, it's only a matter of time before they can develop a branch of the Peace Hotel.

"Xiao Guo, let's go."

Lin Yuan called out, and Guo Fan immediately rushed over. Wang Lu also remembered the matchmaking event and quickly asked, "Boss Lin, we've heard about the matchmaking event from Xiao Guo. Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Let's start with promotion. Let's take advantage of this matchmaking event to hold an event and promote the branch. You can arrange the specifics yourself; I'll just look at the results."

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

If he really has to do everything himself, then wouldn't he be doing his job as "store manager" for nothing?
However, it was precisely this hands-off approach that deeply moved Mr. and Mrs. Wang. It was a feeling of trust that touched them, and you could see the excitement on their faces.

"Xiao Zhang, where does the person you introduced to Xiao Guo live? Is it far from Da Dong City?" As they arrived at the shop entrance, Lin Yuan suddenly asked for the most crucial information.

Zhang Youhong had been waiting as well.

Lin Yuan hadn't asked before, so she hadn't taken the initiative to say, "It's not far. Actually, that place... how should I put it, it's where Lao Zhang lives. You have to take a bus to get there."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. "Living at Old Zhang's house? Could she be his granddaughter?"
