There's something wrong with the general.

Chapter 17 Is it people who are haunting or ghosts who are haunting people?

Wen Yuxi did not return to the Marquis' Mansion, but entered the "Five Lakes and Four Seas" restaurant with a face that did not look like his own.

The waiter quickly ushered him inside.

Wen Yuxi waved his hand and made a secret signal to him. The waiter understood it immediately and hurriedly called him to the second floor.

"I can go up by myself, you don't have to go."

After Wen Yuxi finished speaking, he went upstairs and went straight to Butler Wang's room.

He knocked on the door a few times and the person inside quickly opened it.

But the person who opened the door was not Butler Wang, but a woman of about 27 or 28 years old.

Wen Yuxi took two steps back and looked left and right at the house number.

I’m not wrong, this is Butler Wang’s room.

The woman saw a man standing outside the door, frowned slightly, and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Wen Yuxi smiled and said, "I'll go find whoever owns this room."

He thought to himself, it’s only been a few days and Butler Wang has already found a companion.

The woman frowned even more tightly, and she said in a cold voice, "I rented this room, but I don't know you, sir."

"I'm so sorry, I thought my friend lived here. Sorry for disturbing you. I'll leave now."

Wen Yuxi apologized awkwardly. If there was a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it long ago.

And the look in the woman's eyes was as if she was looking at a lecher, full of vigilance.

He was really wronged.

To avoid further misunderstanding from the woman, he quickly walked to the other side.

When the woman saw him walking away, she closed the door again.

Wang Gui lived here before, why did he change rooms?

It was my own fault. If I had asked clearly in advance, I wouldn't have made such a mistake and caused such embarrassment. I hope the woman won't lower her opinion of his restaurant.

Who can resist money? Of course, the more customers they have, the more money their restaurant makes.

The embarrassment on Wen Yuxi's face quickly disappeared.

The most urgent task is to find Butler Wang.

So he went downstairs again and stood at the stairs, waving to the waiter who was very attentive in receiving guests.

The waiter welcomed the guest to his seat, asked him to order the dishes, reported to the kitchen, and then came to Wen Yuxi.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, is there anything I can help you with?"

When meeting this waiter, Wen Yuxi felt like he was in modern times.

Although he had told Wang Gui some key points of employee training in the early stage, he did not expect that Wang Gui had a set of management skills, was considerate and provided nanny-like service.

What a talent.

This gave Wen Yuxi the idea of ​​opening a few more branches. The next step could be to build a high-end restaurant targeting the rich. He could also invite some storytellers or opera singers to sit in and tell stories for several hours every day to attract more customers.

Although the waiter came so late, Wen Yuxi did not feel offended at all. After all, customers are God. Only by treating every customer equally and creating a peaceful, tranquil and relaxing dining environment can they feel like they are eating at home and make themselves at home.

"Hello?" The waiter saw that the man was daydreaming and asked again considerately.

Wen Yuxi came back to his senses from his imagination of the restaurant's future. After calming himself down, he said, "Excuse me, is Shopkeeper Wang here? I need something from him."

"He's here, but Manager Wang recently moved his room to the end of the corridor, next to the official road. Please let me take you up there."

Wen Yuxi shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go check it out myself. Thanks for letting me know."

He returned to the second floor and walked to the end of it.

Unexpectedly, before he knocked, the door opened and the person who walked out was Wang Guiwang, the butler.

"Butler Wang, why did you move to this room?" Wen Yuxi asked familiarly.

When Butler Wang heard this, he looked puzzled: "I wonder who you are?"

Wen Yuxi suddenly realized that he had changed his appearance, and once again marveled at Sister Leng Yu's craftsmanship. Even someone so familiar with him couldn't recognize him.

"Butler Wang, I'm Yuxi."

Wen Yuxi glanced inside the door and gestured, "Let's go in and talk."

Butler Wang led Wen Yuxi into the room with some doubt.

Then he looked at Wen Yuxi for a long time.

However, after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what it was, so Wen Yuxi showed him the jade pendant in her arms.

That jade pendant was a treasure left behind by the old marquis when he was alive.

Steward Wang finally believed him and quickly apologized, "I didn't recognize him at the moment, please don't blame me, my Lord."

"I had my friend change my appearance, so it's normal that Butler Wang couldn't recognize me."

Wen Yuxi wondered, "My voice hasn't changed, so why is it so hard to recognize me?"

Steward Wang said with a smile, "My Lord, our restaurant is located at the entrance to the city, and there are all kinds of people coming and going. I really can't recognize you in this state, and there are so many similar voices, but the Lord is the Lord."

Wen Yuxi nodded, pointed in the direction of his original room and asked, "Why is there a girl living in your original room?"

Steward Wang couldn't help but chuckle. "That woman originally lived in the west wing, but after two days, she claimed the house was haunted and refused to live there anymore. She even had her eye on my room. Since she was wealthy, I gave it to her."

Wen Yuxi couldn't help but wonder, "How could it be haunted? It was fine before, but someone is interfering, or someone is trying to tease that woman."

"That girl was alone and looked like a martial artist, so logically she wouldn't be afraid of ghosts. I don't know why she chose my room."

Wen Yuxi asked again: "Where is the room where the girl originally lived?"

"It's already locked. I don't dare rent it out anymore."

Wen Yuxi nodded: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

Shopkeeper Wang said with a guilty look on his face, "Your Majesty has been very busy lately. I dare not bother you with such a small matter. I originally wanted to find out the reason behind it before reporting back to you."

"Have you sent anyone in to check if there's anything unusual?"

Wen Yuxi recounted the methods of committing crimes that he had seen in movies and TV dramas in his previous life, and Shopkeeper Wang shook his head.

"That's the strange thing. We sent people to check, but they didn't see anything like what the woman said, like someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night or someone moving around in the house."

Wen Yuxi lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "Could it be that this girl just wanted to change rooms and that's why she used this excuse? Have you asked her for the details?"

Shopkeeper Wang said, "It doesn't look like that. The fear in that girl's eyes didn't seem to be acting. I was worried about causing a disturbance and affecting the restaurant's business. As soon as she reported the situation, I arranged for the waiter to change her room."

"After changing rooms, she hasn't responded to the haunting incident, right?"

Shopkeeper Wang nodded and said, "Yes, she stayed in the room after that. She rented it for a month, occasionally going downstairs to eat, but most of the time she had the waiter deliver the food to her door."

Wen Yuxi was at a loss for a moment.

But generally there are several reasons.

One is that there is really something wrong with the room, and someone has put something in the room that makes others afraid to live in it, thus achieving that person's purpose.

Secondly, his rival wanted to disrupt their restaurant business, but why did he target this room alone?

Third, someone targeted the woman and prevented her from approaching the room.

Fourth, the woman herself has problems, or comes here with a secret that cannot be told.

Thinking of this, Wen Yuxi said, "Since nothing strange has happened recently, let's wait and see what happens. Once the woman checks out, we'll work out a plan. If it really causes public outcry, we'll close the place and make corrections."

Steward Wang nodded. "Yes, Lord. By the way, the carriage you asked me to modify yesterday is now ready. I'll have it delivered to you shortly."

Wen Yuxi nodded and praised him generously, "I am most confident in your work."

Butler Wang's face was a little excited when he heard this, but he said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Marquis."

He looked at the unfamiliar face of the Marquis, but he didn't ask why the Marquis was dressed like this, nor did he ask why the Marquis was interested in coming to the restaurant to find him today. Could it be that he hadn't reported to him on his work for several days?

Of course, Wen Yuxi didn't know what he was thinking. He came here just because he was bored, and he had to go on a long trip tomorrow. Then he suddenly had an idea to dress up, maybe he could lure out some thieves. He hoped that the people around Wen Qianyi were not pushovers.
