Chapter 330: Lao Li, a love triangle is unacceptable!
"Are you here? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Lin Yuan rubbed his eyes. He was a little confused from his sleep just now. It should be because he slept in the car. His posture was not good. It's comfortable, and it's naturally uncomfortable to sleep on.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yuan, I saw you were sleeping too soundly so I didn't want to call you." Guo Fan said with a smile while glancing at the robot Liu Qingqing.
At this time, it returned to its dull appearance, its eyes were dull... No, the robot had no eyes, and it could not see the weirdness just now at all.
Oh shit!
Those who can become regular employees of the Peace Hotel are indeed stranger than the last. Even Liu Qingqing, who was once just an ordinary person, has such strange abilities.
It was just Tong Qian and me, like huskies among a pack of wolves.
Guo Fan complained in his heart, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction on the surface. Now he is just a loyal driver in front of the "store manager".
He did not dare to show any ambition until he found the opportunity to meet the real big boss and express his feelings, especially before he got the promise to replace the "store manager" as the new store manager.
How do you say that?
Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time!
Lin Yuan didn't know that Guo Fan still had such ambitions, even comparing himself to Wang Mang. He rubbed his eyes to cheer himself up, and checked the food box by the way, "Let's go, don't let People are waiting impatiently. Fortunately, our lunch boxes are well insulated and won’t get cold.”
When we got off the bus, we were outside the temporary command post.
Li Jun and others have been waiting for a while, or rather a few minutes ago, the ghost rental has arrived here, but there is a circle of mist around it.
Everyone present is basically aware of the existence of the White Mist Ghost Realm.
No one dared to get up before the "store manager" and the others got off, lest they trigger an unknown supernatural attack.
Cao Yanhua led Li Jun and Tong Qian to guard the area, while the rest of the people stayed far away, looking like they were very busy.
By the way, there is also a person in charge who came here temporarily-Yang Jian!
He also came here because of the supernatural events in Dahai City, but he came relatively late, less than half an hour earlier than Lin Yuan's ghost taxi.
Lin Yuan saw such a strange combination as soon as he got out of the car.
"Old Cao! Old Li! Xiao Yang! And...Tong Qian? Why are you here? You didn't go home to rest in the middle of the night, and you have to go to work tomorrow morning."
Lin Yuan looked strange, with a hint of suspicion.
Tong Qian didn’t panic. If he hadn’t thought of a good reason, he would have hid just now and would not show up in front of the “store manager.” “Boss, Li Jun and I are friends. It just so happens that tonight If he has something to do, I'll come over to see him."
"That's right, but you haven't asked for leave tomorrow and you have to go to work. It's so late now, shouldn't you go back and take a rest? If the chef is not energetic, the dishes he makes will be soulless." Lin Yuan's eyes were blazing.
Tong Qian pursed her lips, her attitude somewhat resistant.
The current situation in Dahai City is unknown. Although she is not the person in charge of Dahai City, nor is she the captain. Her main job is to be promoted in the Peace Hotel. But with her character, how can she let Dahai City go? in spite of?
But now the reason of the "store manager" is also very normal.
You have to go to work tomorrow. It’s already past three in the morning. You’re still in the wilderness without going home to rest. You haven’t asked for leave tomorrow. You can’t get into this shift yet. You’re preparing to go to work. Time to sleep secretly?
Seeing that Tong Qian was going to be stubborn and might even anger the "store manager", Li Jun quickly advised: "Go back and rest first, work is important."
Tong Qian knew that this was something she couldn't refuse, so she could only agree solemnly, then turned and left.
Lin Yuan looked like this and said with a smile: "It's better to listen to you."
"Friends are always closer than the relationship between superiors and subordinates." Li Jun made a rare joke , Cao Yanhua and others next to him were dumbfounded.
Li Jun, the special operations captain, has been transferred to the headquarters for more than half a year. They have been getting along for a long time, but they have never heard Li Jun make such a joke.
Wang Xiaoming suggested it?
The relationship between Cao Yang and the "store manager" is obviously the best, and their relationship mode is naturally recorded by the headquarters. Using this method, more people can refresh the favorability of the "store manager". Indeed, is a good thing.
But why, as the deputy minister with real power, didn’t I know about this?
While Cao Yanhua was thinking wildly, Lin Yuan had already called the robot Liu Qingqing to bring the food box over, and took Li Jun aside to chat.
"Old Li, Xiaohong is not with you today?" Lin Yuan smiled broadly.
Xiao Hong is naturally A Hong.
Although it was not the first time he heard it, Li Jun was still a little uncomfortable, "Ahong was in a bad state today and had already rested. This incident happened urgently, so I didn't call her."
Lin Yuan nodded, "So that's it. I thought you were playing with children behind her back."
This statement seems to have a lot of connotations, right?
Before the supernatural awakening, Li Jun had been working hard in the army. He was just a straight man with no understanding or feeling of the relationship between men and women.
Now that Lin Yuan said this, he couldn't turn his head.
Lin Yuan thought he had acquiesced, and his face suddenly darkened, "Old Li, I think you are also an honest person, and you can't do things like riding on two boats. Of course, if you really like children, then you can You should make it clear to Xiaohong first, and then get together with Xiaotong, right?"
"Yes...no...no, boss, did you misunderstand something?" Li Jun's head? Finally getting online, I asked in a panic.
Lin Yuan sighed, raised his hand and patted Li Jun on the shoulder, "We are all men, and I understand what you are thinking. But now is not the old society. There are no three wives and four concubines. If it is really about feelings, If something goes wrong, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your official position. So, it's best to figure out which one you like, pursue your true feelings, and don't make emotional mistakes. I can only help you so far, but I can't help you. Let me tell you clearly in advance, although I don’t like Xiaotong very much, she is an employee of my store after all. If you let me know that you bully her or even play with her feelings, be careful I will beat you up!”
As he spoke, Lin Yuan clenched his fist and waved it several times.
He didn't use too much force, but his expression was very firm. It was obvious that he was serious. If his own clerk suffered a loss, he would definitely help him.
And when he said this, the white mist around him became a little thicker.
A strange sense of voyeurism and crisis came, and Li Jun knew clearly that what Lin Yuan said was not a joke, but he was still a little confused.
Didn’t he and Tong Qian appear in the same scene, why did they get involved in emotional issues?
No!
He and A Hong are not lovers, but...
Li Jun remembered that under the guidance of some irresponsible guys, the "store manager" did indeed mistake him and A Hong for an office romance.
And in the middle of the night, Ahong was not with him, but Tong Qian, who should be sleeping at home in another city, was with him. This would be a misunderstanding for everyone.
Li Jun still wanted to explain something, but Lin Yuan was no longer willing to listen.
“If I really want to find a reason, I can find 180 reasons. So, it’s not important what you say, but what matters is what you do. I believe you, Lao Li, are an honest person and will not bully my family. The clerk’s.”
Patting Li Jun’s shoulder again, Lin Yuan walked back to the temporary table that had been set up like a parent.
Li Jun followed him depressedly, "No, the store manager seemed to have said something outrageous just now. He... doesn't like Tong Qian?"
Tong Qian has a very important task at the Peace Hotel.
Strictly speaking, the only members of the headquarters in the Peace Hotel are Tong Qian and Guo Fan.
Even He Yin'er, who was once the head of the headquarters, has completely turned to the "store manager" at this time and no longer provides intelligence information to the headquarters.
And the positions at the Peace Hotel are too scarce.
The main reason is that the sales volume of Peace Hotel has not been increasing, so there is no idea of expanding operations and recruiting new people.
Even Guo Fan, due to his lack of strength, was unable to secure a security position while the watchdog, the knocker, and Lao Hei were away.
It was because of his luck that he managed to get a job as a driver.
When the "store manager" is unwilling to take the paper sedan, he can get some work, otherwise he may have been unemployed long ago.
Even if Guo Fan temporarily stabilized his status as an employee, his position gave him few opportunities to go to the store, and the information he could provide was limited.
In this case, if the "store manager" doesn't like Tong Qian, how much information can Tong Qian get?
No wonder Tong Qian has been able to provide less and less useful information recently. It turns out that the source is still the "store manager".
No wonder He Yuelian and He Yin'er have been promoted. Liu Qingqing is also very leisurely at ordinary times. Only Tong Qian is still an honest cook, and she has not changed at all for several months.
No wonder...
Peace Hotel is the stage created by Him. The "store manager" is the manager of Peace Hotel. If he doesn't like a person, then naturally he won't get that person in Peace Hotel. What development.
"No, we have to discuss this matter with the minister and the others. At least we have to change Tong Qian's image in the mind of the store manager, otherwise she will be wasting her life in the Peace Hotel."
Robot Liu Qingqing is posing Meals.
I don’t know how “Liu Qingqing” set up its “program”, but at least Lin Yuan found it very comfortable to use.
Li Jun also came over, took a look at the four dishes on the table, and suddenly froze, "Boss, these dishes..."
"Oh, didn't you mean Whatever you want, there is a new one in the store, so I will bring it over for you to try. By the way, these dishes are all priced at seven yuan each, but they are new today and I will give you a discount. Four dishes are only 20 yuan. Five is enough.”
Lin Yuan said with an expression like "You have taken advantage of me."
Li Jun finally understood why Cao Yanhua and Yang Jian had such weird expressions. It turned out to be this.
A ghost is worth 3 yuan, but there is no way to split a ghost, which means that in the end, nine ghosts have to get out.
In the end, I only saved a dollar at most.
Of course, with the strength and background of the "store manager", using nine ghosts to ask him to take action is not a loss, it can even be said to be a lot of profit.
But the problem is...
"Boss, are all the new dishes in your store pork?"
In addition to the original stewed pig trotters, there is also a braised pig Tripe, half roasted suckling pig, and a portion of cold pig ears.
"The taste is still very good, you will know after you try it. By the way, didn't you say you saw Granny Meng? Where is she?"
Listening to Lin Yuan's inquiry, Li Jun pointed to Dahai City in the distance and said: "It's just inside Dahai City. However, there are some situations in Dahai City, so we came here to guard and prevent possible dangers."
Lin Yuan looked in the direction of Li Jun's finger and suddenly smiled: "Dahai City? It's not quite appropriate. Although it looks close to the sea and the fog is very heavy, there is clearly a big mountain over there." Cao Yanhua said: " Maybe there was no such mountain when the name was originally chosen. Boss Lin, if you are in a hurry, you can go to Dahai City first and maybe you can find Granny Meng there.”
"Okay, then I'll go take a look. By the way, you said you saw Granny Meng in Fushou Garden, right? Where is Fushou Garden? Can you give me directions?"
Lin Yuan said to I have no interest in eating.
Meng Xiaodong has been away from the store for some time. This old man is a partner of the store. Although the sales volume of scapegoat dolls is not high, he can occasionally sell one or two.
Say it again.
Lin Yuan was also very worried when such an old man was lost. He hoped it wasn't amnesia or Alzheimer's disease.
"I'll go."
"I can go."
Li Jun and Yang Jian stood up at the same time, looked at each other, and looked at each other at the same time It came to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "It's not a good thing to go looking for someone in the middle of the night. Is there any need to rob him? Lao Li, let Xiao Yang accompany me. He is younger and should be in better spirits."
"Okay." Li Jun could only nod in agreement, and then took Yang Jian aside to give instructions.
Lin Yuan did not sit down again and said to Cao Yanhua: "Minister Cao, you see the food has been delivered. Do you want to settle the bill?"
"This is natural. Boss Lin, please wait a moment."
Cao Yanhua quickly stood up and left, and soon came over with several people and placed nine body bags at Lin Yuan's feet.
"It seems that you are also quite short of money. Such a transaction is really inconvenient." Lin Yuan stroked his forehead helplessly.
Cao Yanhua smiled bitterly and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Nowadays, everyone is used to bartering. The main reason is that the craftsmanship of the previous version of money has been lost. Although some new money has been made, basically No one in the world agrees with it.”
This is half true and half false.
The ghost controller circle did have a stable output of ghost money in the past, but that was also many years ago.
At least in the recent era of supernatural revival, there is no similar output of ghost money. It is only through the exploration of supernatural events that the existence of ghost money is known.
Since ghost money exists, will there be ghost banks?
It seems that there is an abandoned ghost bank in Taiping Ancient Town, He Yin'er's hometown that was flooded...
As for the new money, it is naturally the currency used by ordinary people, and these currencies are not " "Store manager" approved it, and it was even regarded as money for dead people...
"So it's a pity. If you can trade with banknotes, everything will be much more convenient. Xiao Guo, and. Then, come over and move the payment to the truck."
Lin Yuan felt a little regretful and asked Guo Fan and the robot Liu Qingqing to do it together.
Cao Yanhua quickly called for help. The saying that there is strength in numbers is really effective. In a short time, all nine animals were loaded into the car.
But here comes the problem.
The nine body bags are both large and small. The trunk of Gui's rental is only so big. Five of them can't be accommodated. The remaining four are all stuffed into the back seat. It takes up half of the space.
Lin Yuan sighed, "We still have to think of a way."
In this way, there will not be enough space for seats.
Lin Yuan naturally got into the passenger seat, while Yang Jian and the robot Liu Qingqing squeezed into the back seat.
Guo Fan stepped on the accelerator, and the ghost taxi headed towards Dahai City.
“With the store manager taking action, there’s really no need to worry now. I just don’t know how Su Fan and the others are doing. Liu San and Li Leping don’t have to worry. They bought insurance at the Peace Hotel, even if they hit the car But they can escape, but Su Fan and Shen Lin can't."
"The ghost controlled by Shen Lin is very special, he is the one who doesn't need to worry the least (Shen Lin: Listen to me, thank you. ...), but Su Fan, his ghost game can predict the future to a certain extent and avoid risks, so there is no need to worry too much."
Li Jun nodded and suddenly said: "Minister, I have a situation. I want to report to you.”
Cao Yanhua looked over and said with a smile: "Are you going to report on the relationship between you and A Hong, or the love triangle with Tong Qian?"
Li Jun staggered, "Minister, you ..."
"You didn't chat loudly with the store manager just now, but don't forget, you still have a bug on you," Cao Yanhua reminded.
Because of the horror and specialness of the "store manager", every real-life contact with the "store manager" is prepared with many cameras and bugs.
The satellites in the sky are useless.
The White Mist Ghost Domain can isolate you from the prying eyes of outside machines, but fortunately, the electronic equipment in the White Mist Ghost Domain can still be used.
Fortunately, in the "store manager's" perception, this is not ancient times, so it is normal for devices such as cameras and bugs to appear.
Li Jun's expression changed instantly, "So many people heard the conversation between me and the store manager just now?"
Cao Yanhua nodded, "Remind me, Tong Qian did not leave , She was at the temporary command center and she should have heard it."
Li Jun: "..."
On the way from the top of the mountain to Dahai City, Lin Yuan looked out the window curiously, "This road should be the only way in and out of Dahai City? It's a pity that the situation is so complicated now that even a prosperous city like Dahai City has become It’s so depressed, there aren’t even a few cars on the road. And the more I look at this big city, the more weird it becomes.”
Is it weird?
Guo Fan didn't know what Dahaishi looked like in the eyes of the "store manager", so he didn't dare to speak for fear of being slapped on the horse's legs by flattering him.
Yang Jian didn’t have so many worries. He touched the human skin parrot that was huddled up on the shoulder. “The recent situation has indeed happened quite frequently. If it weren’t for Brother Yuan’s help in Dachang City, It’s probably similar to Dahai City now.”
Huh?
Guo Fan couldn't help but glance at Yang Jian through the rearview mirror, and thought to himself: "This guy is pretty good. How can he find such a flattering angle? It seems that he has met a colleague. No, I have to get the place back." , I can’t lose my position as the number one loser!”
Suffering from a career crisis, Guo Fan immediately started brainstorming, but he had not been with the “store manager” for a short time and did not know the “store manager” at all! What kind of supernatural events have I experienced? I really couldn’t find a suitable angle for a while.
“You said Dachang City, it is indeed an unforgettable memory.”
Lin Yuanke still remembers that he got the starving ghost and the old woman in Dachang City, and the wish trick The money cat, but the problem is, he hunted so many hyenas, and he didn’t know where they went. They disappeared inexplicably, which made him very depressed.
People should look forward.
Lin Yuan was not someone who felt sorry for himself in the past, otherwise he wouldn't have remembered it when Yang Jian mentioned it. Before he arrived at Dahai City, he asked, "Your father, Yang Xiao, seems to be having a hard time at the post office." Happy, has he told you?"
Yang Jian hesitated for a while, then nodded and said: "Some, but not much."
"Well, I am a father. Well, no matter how hard and tired he is outside, he will not bring his emotions home to his wife and children. If he can talk to you, it means that he is really unhappy. "
Lin Yuan said. A word that is not nutritious.
Actually, he was testing whether Yang Xiao had told Yang Jian about redemption.
Yang Xiao was a poor man who had no savings from working in the post office. He came to ask several times before losing money, which made Lin Yuan a little excited and thought he could make a lot of extra money.
Think about it carefully.
How can a man who has to pay for his meals have any savings?
If Yang Xiao had spoken to Yang Jian, then he would just mention it to Yang Jian and see if Yang Jian could collect some money to redeem Yang Xiao's body.
Now that Yang Xiao has not mentioned it, he will naturally not be such a villain.
Yang Jian was a little strange, "Brother Yuan, do you have a good relationship with my...father?"
"Not bad."
If you have money, then your relationship is good.
No money?
We have met so many times, but it’s a far-fetched relationship.
Lin Yuan is such a pure hotel owner, and at this time, Dahai City is already close at hand. Guo Fan drives the ghost taxi to the edge of the graveyard ghost land.
Looked at Lin Yuan.
Seeing that Lin Yuan had no expression, Guo Fan did not stop. Instead, he lightly stepped on the accelerator. Ghost Taxi accelerated again and crashed into the real mountain.
As expected, there was no impact.
As if it was just a shadow, the ghost taxi drove in smoothly, and then, the real sea appeared in front of everyone.
It was obviously a wide street, but the road was covered with a thin layer of fine sand.
The buildings of different heights on both sides have turned into small graves, and the black grave soil exudes an indescribable stench.
Yang Jian and Guo Fan were also very affected by the smell.
But Lin Yuan just wrinkled his nose, looked around a few times, and then sighed in a low voice: "What a big gesture!"
Yang Jian: "What?"< br>
Guo Fan: "Same question."
Lin Yuan pointed to the nearby graves buried with buildings and said: "Someone... wants to turn the entire Dahai City into a breeding farm!"
