Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 87 John brought back a woman from the world of John Wick (asking for first order and monthly ticket)
"I have something better for you."

Wen Ming took out the tablet computer he had prepared long ago and placed it in front of Tony.

A flash of surprise crossed Tony's eyes.

And this thing?
Is it an enlarged version of that mobile phone?

The last time Tony came, he saw a lot of practical technologies for people's livelihood, and he even saw new energy vehicles running on the road.

This made him very interested in the battery technology of this world.

In his eyes, the world is full of gold.

He was about to reach for the tablet, but Wen Ming held it down.

"What do you want? Gold? How much?"

Tony thought Wen Ming wanted to bid, so he acted like a businessman.

This seemed normal to him. If it were him, he would definitely ask for a high price.

He was ready to bargain.

However, Wen Ming shook his head and said, "Before we talk about this, let me tell you one thing. Given your personality, you probably won't be able to accept this."

Tony was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then he crossed his arms and said arrogantly, "Is there anything in this world that I can't accept? This is a joke.

Wen Ming, I have to admit that your jokes are much worse than your ramen making skills."

Wen knew that Tony was very conceited, and sometimes even sharp-tongued because of his conceit, but he still had to say some things in advance to prevent him from being unable to accept such reality and collapsing.

"First of all, I want to tell you that you are a real person, a person from a real universe."

Tony scoffed, "Of course!"

Wen Ming added, "Secondly, everything that happens in your universe, as well as your future destiny, is projected onto our world."

Wen Ming used a more gentle way of explanation.

"Projection? What projection?"

Tony frowned. Although he was conceited, that was because he was extremely smart. Since the space rift existed, many things were possible.

He suddenly had a bad feeling and said half-jokingly, "You're not going to tell me that you all saw me having sex with Cover Girl."

"almost."

Wen Ming nodded: "If there were no film censorship system, I think I could have seen it."

"what?"

This time, Tony was really dumbfounded: "Movie? What are you talking about?"

Wen Ming opened his tablet and clicked on Iron Man 1: "All the answers are in these movies. Let me ask you again: Are you sure you want to know your future destiny?"

"My future destiny?"

The second time Tony heard Wen Ming mention this word, he, who had always been conceited, suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.

Does someone already know your fate?
Could it be that the hotel owner is being mysterious and trying to cheat me out of my gold?
"So, you're a, uh, Taoist from the East, right?"

Tony made a light-hearted joke.

But Wen Ming shrugged: "I actually hope I can become a Taoist priest like that. Unfortunately, the Taoist priests in our Daqian Kingdom don't easily accept disciples. They are all busy with their own cultivation."

Tony fell silent. He stared at the tablet computer in Wen Ming's big hand, with deep curiosity and a hint of inexplicable fear in his eyes.

This feeling made him unhappy.

Wen Ming saw that the groundwork was almost done and let go of his hand: "You read it first, and when you finish, we will talk again tomorrow morning.

Oh yeah, these movies also feature your parents' deaths.

So, don’t think about anything else until you’ve watched all the movies I’ve prepared for you.”

Tony Stark stood up from the high stool. "My parents' cause of death? Didn't they have a car accident?"

"You'll understand once you watch it. Remember, you must watch them one by one in the order I prepared for you in the playlist."

Wen Ming stood up and left. When he reached the door, he said, "If you're hungry, call the front desk. I don't think you'll be able to sleep tonight."

Tony was confused by the mysterious Wen Ming. He took a sip of wine irritably, then looked at the five armored vehicles slowly driving out on the screen.

……

Everyone who travels from the movie universe needs to go through this process.

Wen Ming wasn't sure if the conceited Tony Stark would collapse and commit suicide when he learned that he was just a fictional character in a movie and that there was a man in the real world who looked exactly like him and had the same arrogant personality.

But this pain is like breaking that membrane, and you have to experience it sooner or later.

It’s nothing more than how strong the force is when you see through it.

It’s best if you can bear it, but if you can’t, you have to cover your mouth and endure the pain.

Wen Ming returned to the front desk and instructed them to keep an eye on the presidential suite and contact him if anything happened. Then he walked over to Mina and asked, "How's it going? How many rooms have been booked tonight?"

"Five."

Mina showed her eight white teeth: “Boss, the occupancy rate tonight has reached 89.8%, which has exceeded the average occupancy rate of the Metropolitan Hotel.

It's only 6:30, and I estimate the occupancy rate tonight will likely exceed 96%. "

Mina's face was filled with excitement, and Wen Ming smiled happily as well: "That's great. It's because of you that we have such a good occupancy rate."

As expected, I took advantage of the carnival's popularity.

The next small goal is to strive to exceed 96% occupancy rate every day.

Upon hearing this, several receptionists smiled, some white, some black, some yellow, and some brown.

The boss praised us.

We must continue to work hard and strive to get the position of supervisor.

Wen Ming made a round tour of the hotel. When the people at each post saw Wen Ming coming, they immediately became more diligent. Wen Ming nodded at them with a smile and gave them some encouragement from time to time.

When he meets the chef, he will stop and chat with him.

He knew very well that employees' enthusiasm would reach its peak when they saw the boss, and after the boss left, it would return to normal within ten minutes at most.

Don’t ask why, because Wen Ming used to slack off like this.

But you still have to show your face.

To Wen Ming's surprise, while he was inspecting the restaurant, a customer actually raised his hand and called out to him, "Wen Ming, why haven't we been able to eat your main course these past few nights? What day of the week are you on duty?"

Wen Ming was a little stunned.

Someone actually asked me about my main course?

Are you still acting?
That spy was shot by John, and you still don't give up?

However, this person's greeting seemed to remind others, and several people raised their hands and asked.

"Wen Ming, is there pumpkin rice pudding tonight? I really want to eat it."

"Do you have twice-cooked pork?"

"I want to eat braised beef in soy sauce."

……

The continuous inquiries immediately attracted the attention of many diners in the restaurant, and many people also cast their eyes over.

Wen Ming was a little confused as to whether these people were acting or not, but his eager gaze showed no trace of hypocrisy.

If these people are commercial spies, then their acting skills are definitely at the level of best actor or actress.

Anyway, with Wen Ming's eyesight, he couldn't see any flaws at all.

Just then, a familiar person stood up and said, "Wen Ming, what are these twice-cooked pork and braised beef in soy sauce that they're talking about? I remember Flora mentioned them too."

Wen Ming looked at the other person and found that it was the breakfast trio, no, now it was Fei Bai's friend from the breakfast duo. He didn't expect that the other person would also come to the Flatiron Hotel for dinner.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Since everyone likes it, I will cook a few dishes for you."

Anyway, I don’t have much to do at the moment.

Several diners immediately cheered, and the others also showed interest.

You know, there are rumors circulating on review websites that Wen Ming, the owner of the Flatiron Hotel, is a very good cook.

Some people who had Wenming’s breakfast and dinner shared photos and videos.

The thread-thin ramen, the tempting pumpkin eight-treasure rice pudding, and the delicious roujiamo attracted a lot of likes.

There are several guests here who chose to stay at the Flatiron Hotel based on these reviews.

They had just asked, and the waiter told them that Wen Ming would not be cooking tonight, which made them a little disappointed.

I didn't expect there would be such a surprise.

Then I must try the legendary pumpkin eight-treasure rice tonight to see how delicious it is.

……

Wen Ming went to the kitchen, changed into a chef's uniform and put on a tall hat.

First, take out 40 small pumpkins. As before, cut open the top of the pumpkin, dig out the pumpkin pulp, put in various ingredients, and then bake in the oven.

After finishing all this, the handymen nearby had already peeled and deveined the prawns according to Wen Ming's requirements.

Wash the shrimps and put them into the bowl.

A little onion, ginger, cooking wine, salt, oyster sauce, and black pepper.

Mix well and marinate.

Then set aside.

At this time, the handymen washed the duck that Wen Ming needed and brought it over.

Wen Ming looked at the waiters and said, "Go ask them if they like duck meat. If they don't, I'll make less."

The waiters nodded.

Foreigners eat less duck meat and more beef and chicken, followed by lamb and pork.

Wen Ming first chopped the duck into pieces, then cut the sour ginger, pickled peppers, sour leeks, garlic, lemon and other side dishes and set them aside.

Then take out the fermented tofu, oyster sauce, light soy sauce and other ingredients.

Chicken essence, um, crossed out again.

MSG, a little.

Add pepper and mix well.

Boil oil over high heat, add ginger slices and fry until fragrant, then add duck meat and stir-fry.

When the duck meat changes color and smells fragrant, start pouring in the soul sauce. After it is colored, pour in a can of beer.

Beer is the soul and is absolutely indispensable.

"Boss, they said we can give it a try."

Wen Ming nodded. Duck meat is a common dish in high-end restaurants, but foreigners eat less of it. If they really don’t like it, they can just put one less piece on a plate.

Just enough to make a few extra dishes.

After the duck meat has been stewed for fifteen minutes, open the lid of the pot, pour in the side dishes and continue to stir-fry.

By the time all the side dishes were seasoned, the handymen had already laid out forty plates.

They are already familiar with the boss serving dozens of dishes at a time.

In fact, this has become everyone's favorite scene in the kitchen.

The boss took a spoon and accurately scooped up four pieces of duck meat and side dishes and put them into the big plate. He did this forty times in a row. In the end, there was not even a bit of excess juice left in the big pot of duck meat.

"The boss is getting more and more powerful."

Several chefs watched from the side and marveled at the performance.

Chef Tolov didn't care at first, but when he smelled the rich aroma of duck meat, he couldn't help swallowing.

how come?
How can such a rough way of processing ingredients and such a crude way of cooking bring out the aroma of duck meat to such an extent?

Brother Feibai also has the same question.

"Didn't you say you were going to make twice-cooked pork and braised beef? Why did you make duck? This is called lemon duck?
Well, this duck is good, very good."

The curly-haired woman sitting opposite Fei Bai's friend, like him, widened her eyes in surprise: "Aiwen, how come this dish is so delicious? I never like duck meat."

Fei Bai's buddy Ai Wen nodded wildly: "It's delicious. You haven't tried it. Wen Ming's breakfast is even better."

"Is this why you don't eat the breakfast I make in the mornings lately?"

The curly-haired woman rolled her eyes, the black and white distinct.

Ivan immediately changed the subject: "Why is it so little? I haven't even taken a few bites and it's gone."

The curly-haired woman shook her head. She looked at the plate in front of her and suddenly felt a little regretful.

"Why so little?"

The two of them picked up the remaining duck meat and put it into their mouths.

The combination of the sourness of lemon and the freshness of duck meat makes the duck meat both appetizing and refreshing.

On this midsummer night, take a bite and you will find the meat is crispy, fragrant, not soft or greasy, with the fresh scent of lemon. It is simply a carnival for your taste buds.

The sour and spicy appetizer lemon duck made both of them feel relaxed.

The only drawback is that the quantity is too small.

"Salt and pepper shrimp."

Just as Mr. and Mrs. Alvin were feeling regretful, the second main course was served.

"Salt and pepper shrimp?"

Aiwen looked at the shrimp wrapped in a thin layer of golden batter and was a little surprised: "Fried?"

"should be."

The curly-haired woman picked up a shrimp and put it into her mouth. The crispy outside and tender inside, fresh and delicious taste immediately spread in her mouth.

The plump and full meat of the peony shrimp and its extremely elastic texture are perfectly preserved.

Although it is not as delicate and sweet as sashimi, it still retains a sweet fragrance.

The couple immediately fell in love with this dish.

If there are any flaws, it's the same thing.

The quantity is too small.

This Wen Ming is really good at cheating people.

How can you give so little?
The US dollars I spent are not US dollars?

It wasn't just the non-white buddy Alvin who was cursing, but also many diners in the restaurant.

They initially tried it out of curiosity, but they didn't expect that the main course would be so delicious.

It seems that those who give good reviews are not water armies.

Fortunately, I came to the Flatiron Hotel to spend the weekend.

Amidst the happy complaints of many people, the rich aroma of pumpkin spread throughout the restaurant.

The complex and rich aroma of pumpkin eight-treasure rice immediately aroused everyone's appetite.

Many people leaned over to look at the golden pumpkin flesh and the colorful eight-treasure rice pudding hidden inside it on the table next to them.

Why is this dish so delicious?

Someone couldn't help but raise their hands and call the waiter: "Give us one too."

The waiter looked apologetic: "Sorry, Chef Wen Ming's main course is limited, and it's all sold out now."

The diners immediately showed a disappointed expression.

They looked at the couple at the next table and couldn't help but spit at the intoxicated expressions on their faces.

Phew, what's good to eat?

Look at you, you guys have never seen the world.

Isn't it just a pumpkin?
No wonder you guys can never get on stage.

……

"It smells so good! I think it tastes much better than the food I cook."

The curly-haired woman was not stingy with her praise. She even became interested: "How is this dish made? I want to learn it so that I can make it for our children."

"I'll call Wen Ming over."

Ivan felt it was time to show off his social skills in front of his wife. He raised his hand and called to the waiter, "Please call Chef Wen Ming over."

"Sorry, Chef Wen Ming is having a hard time."

The waiter refused without hesitation.

Aiwen's face flushed. Luckily, his face was dark, so others couldn't see it. "Wen Ming and I are friends. We have a great time chatting every morning when he cooks."

Ivan, who tried to save his dignity, was rejected again.

"Chef Wen Ming has gone back to rest."

The waiter smiled apologetically again, then stood up and left.

The boss is so shy, aren’t you afraid that your stern face will scare him?

I'm already giving you face by cooking three dishes just now.

Others can’t even eat it if they want to.

Aiwen's face turned even redder, and he was a little indignant: "This Wen Ming, why didn't he come out to see me, an old friend?"

"Okay, eat it quickly. The pumpkin rice pudding won't taste good if it gets cold."

The curly-haired woman tried to find a way out for her husband, and Alvin had no choice but to stuff a spoonful of pumpkin into his mouth.

"Hiss, hot!"

Wen Ming, your tip is gone.

……

After Wen Ming finished cooking, he asked the waiter to deliver one of the three main dishes to Tony and Helen respectively, then went to the gym to run 5 kilometers and went back to rest.

He had experienced too many things today. Although he was not physically tired, he still needed to take a good rest.

Besides, there are still many things to do tomorrow.

After being encouraged, Robert's potential was stimulated. Tomorrow, the Flatiron Hotel will host a small event party with about fifty to sixty people.

This is a good beginning.

Sure enough, it works to motivate employees.

I'll have to ask DS to help me come up with a few more routines later.

Early the next morning, Wen Ming got up in high spirits, put away the book "Artificial Intelligence from Scratch", washed and changed his clothes, and went to the first floor to have breakfast.

To his surprise, John and Helen were also dining in the dining area.

John had cut his signature long hair, shaved his beard, and dyed his hair white, while Helen dyed her hair black and changed her hairstyle, which greatly changed their appearance and temperament.

If they were not acquaintances, and if no one was specifically staring at them, they would look like ordinary American citizens, chatting and laughing at the dinner table.

"Hey, Helen, I hope I didn't disturb your sweet time?"

Helen smiled and shook her head: "We are talking about your breakfast. I heard a lot of people complaining just now that you didn't make breakfast this morning."

Wen Ming smiled.

These people are acting so fake.

Who believes?

"How is it? Did anything happen after you got back?"

Wen Ming looked at John, who shook his head and said, "Everything is normal. I didn't dare go out too many places. I entrusted the house and car to an agent for sale. They should be sold soon."

I am contacting the bank to buy gold.”

"That's good. You must always be alert to danger. Your blood contract is about to be triggered.

I suggest you contact Santino Antonio's sister, Gianna, in advance and tell her that Santino wants to kill her, and then let them fight each other."

……

The plot of the second part of "John Wick" mainly revolves around John Wick being forced by Santino Antonio with a blood pact to repay a favor and kill his sister, Gianna Antonio, the leader of the Camorra organization and the owner of a seat at the High Table, who is also a gang boss, in order to seize her power.

After John completed the mission, Santino, under the pretext of revenge for his sister, publicly issued a huge bounty to hunt down John, and finally forced John to shoot and kill him in the Continental Hotel where violence was not allowed.

This Santino perfectly embodies what shamelessness is.

……

"Don't feel any psychological burden. The Blood Contract hasn't been activated yet. If you take the initiative, you can avoid the second, third, and even fourth episodes. Perhaps the will of the world will give you something else, but it will be much easier than being hunted by so many people all the time."

Wen Ming's persuasion made Helen worried and she grabbed John's hand: "John, Wen Ming is right."

"Okay, I'll go back and send a message to Jaina tonight."

Any persuasion was not as good as Helen's words, and John did not hesitate at all.

No one can delay him from earning money to treat Helen.

After talking about the plot, John suddenly stopped and looked at Helen and Wen Ming with a rare awkward look on his face: "Actually, when I came back just now, I brought someone back for you, Wen Ming."

???

Wen Ming and Helen looked at John at the same time.

Helen only had one word in her mind: woman?
Otherwise John wouldn't be so embarrassed.

Wen Ming was thinking about something else.

Can the movie universe bring people out?
John's face showed embarrassment and confusion, as if he didn't know how to explain this.

"When I came back after going back this time, there seemed to be a voice in my head telling me that there were three people who could not stay in that universe and asked me to take them away."

"Three? Didn't you just say one?"

The surprise on Wen Ming's face grew.

What does Cinematic Universe mean?
Or is this the new rule of space rifts?

John explained: "There was a feeling that there were a few people in the John Wick universe who were supposed to die, but now they're alive, so I have to take them away."

"The world's will excludes those who are destined to die?" Wen Ming keenly realized that this was a new rule.

"Yes, that's roughly the feeling. There may be other meanings, but this is my understanding."

John gradually sorted out his thoughts, and then said: "There are three people who must die, but in the end they didn't die, so the movie universe let me take two of them away."

Wen Ming looked at John in surprise. How come there were two of them again?

But he didn't interrupt and motioned John to continue.

"Three people, Helen, Marcus and Perkins."

John looked at Helen who was sitting opposite him, reached out and grabbed her hand: "I will definitely take Helen away."

Helen's eyes were full of tenderness. She didn't say anything, but everything was in the dog food.

Wen Ming nodded: "Who did you bring with you as the other two?"

“I originally wanted to bring Marcus with me, but he took a new job and went on a long trip, so he’s not here.

Then I was in a hurry to get back, and Perkins happened to be nearby, so without thinking much, I brought Perkins back."

The embarrassment on John's face was evident again: "I thought I could change players after bringing him here, so I tried to bring Perkins back, but Perkins couldn't go back."

"Can not go back?"

A flash of enlightenment suddenly struck Wen Ming. "So, Sarah and Marlena had to return after 72 hours, but Helen didn't. Is it because Helen is mortal in that universe?"

"Maybe."

John also realized this problem: "So, Helen can't go back to that world?"
