A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1285

Chapter 1285: A Newbie Has No Human Rights

Apart from having five big double-storey workshops, this factory building still had two employee dormitories and a huge empty space. They should be able to satisfy the Night Elves’ needs if they built another two blocks of employee dormitory.

“This is not bad. It’s much better than the underground cavern.” Irina walked one round in the factory building and nodded with satisfaction.

“Alright. Then I will get some craftsmen to do the repairs.” Mag was quite satisfied too. Initially, he was still worried that the machines’ noises would disturb the people living nearby, but given this factory building’s location, they didn’t have to worry about this at all.

As for recruitment, they had brought along their own workers, so they were not worried about this problem at all.

“However, what do you intend to let them do?” Irina asked Mag as she looked around.

“Why don’t we do textile spinning? This factory building is perfect for it.”

“Textile spinning?” Irina frowned.

“You will find out later,” Mag said smilingly. After taking another look at the factory building, he said, “Let’s go. We’ve got to go back now, or else we’re not going to make it for the lunch service.

“Oh, yes. I need to conduct an interview for a new staff member in the afternoon. Do you wanna join in?”

“Interview?”

“It’s to test those people who registered face-to-face to see if they are suitable to join the restaurant’s staff.”

“This sounds interesting. I am the restaurant’s lady boss, so I should take part, right?”

“Service staff’s recruitment. Interview would take place this afternoon. The name list is: […].”

The customers lining up in the afternoon saw that notice on the restaurant’s door. There were two long rows of names on it.

“It’s fantastic, I am on the name list!”

“Oh my heavens. I am not on the list!”

“Hey, Mister, don’t you think you have gone overboard trying to lie about your gender?”

“What do you know? Not everyone knows how to admire my beauty.”

As the customers read the name list, some of them were happy, while others were sad.

“Huh? Rena? Could this really be her?” Shanshan said in astonishment as she saw that familiar name on the list. She had intended to ask Rena to join her for lunch in that afternoon, but she was asked to work overtime by the boss, so she most probably couldn’t even eat lunch.

***

“Rena, I brought you a biscuit. Eat it first before you continue,” Shanshan said when she got back to the office. She put the biscuit that she bought from the roadside stall next to Rena, who was doing calculations fervently.

“Mm-hm. Thanks,” Rena replied without raising her head. She quickly filled the amount that she had just obtained into the ledger. She had spent about 30 minutes on calculations before she got that amount.

Shanshan sat down, and curiously asked, “Oh, yes. I went to Mamy Restaurant for lunch earlier, and saw the interview name list. There’s someone on the list that has the same name as you. Did you really register for it?”

Rip.

The quill in Rena’s hand tore the ledger’s page, but she didn’t care about it. Instead, she suddenly raised her head in surprise, and said, “Really? Can I really go for the interview?”

“It’s really you.” Shanshan was astonished too, but she swiftly nodded. “I did see your name, and the notice says the interview starts in the afternoon. It’s already 1.30 pm now, so it should already begin.”

“No. I’ve got to go for the interview!” Rena stood up instantly and started to walk to the door.

Shanshan gazed at the thick ledgers next to Rena, and concernedly reminded, “But Rena, didn’t Boss say that you’ve got to hand in the ledgers to her by today?”

Rena’s footsteps halted as she turned to look at those ledgers and thought of the boss’ warning. There was hesitation in her eyes as she would be fired if she couldn’t finish these assignments today.

She wasn’t very confident that she would succeed in the interview. She really didn’t look very good when compared to those beautiful ladies in Mamy Restaurant.

If she didn’t succeed in the interview and got fired from her current job, she wouldn’t have the money to buy medicines for her mother.

Rena lost her courage to step out immediately when she thought of that.

Shanshan looked at Rena with a sympathetic gaze. Her family had shares in this company, and she only came to work here because she was bored at home. The boss treated her quite well, but Rena was badly oppressed.

Furthermore, she knew how much Rena loved to cook. She would have a much happier life if she could go and work at Mamy Restaurant.

“Rena, pass me half of the ledgers. We will try our best to complete it before the shift ends, and then you will go for the interview. Maybe you can make it,” Shanshan said.

“This…” Rena looked at Shanshan with hesitation on her face.

“Although I can’t bear to see you go, it is definitely a good thing if you join Mamy Restaurant’s staff. Maybe you could even get me another helping of tofu pudding.” Shanshan got up and took half of the ledgers from Rena and returned to her seat. “Let’s begin. We can do it.”

“Thank you, Shanshan,” Rena said with reddened eyes. She, too, quickly returned to her seat and picked up the quill again.

After the lunch service’s end and a short rest period, Mag began the first formal interview for Mamy Restaurant’s recruitment exercise.

The interviewers’ lineup was extremely extravagant for this interview. They were the best knight in the Norland Continent, Alex; former princess of the elves and current spiritual leader of the Night Elves, Irina; Frost Dragons’ princesses, Elizabeth and Yabemiya; Moon Nation’s princess, Babla; Lantisde’s princess, Gina; Falk Tribe’s princess, Connie (this was struck off); Countess Bartoli, Camilla (this was struck off too.).

They were actually only trying to recruit one or two new staff members for the restaurant with such a lineup.

A few tables were formed into an arc, and there was a chair in their center. That was the interviewee’s seat.

And there were all sorts of tools to test the interviewee’s ability on the shelf at the side. Ability was what Mag focused on the most.

Mag, who was sitting in the center, looked at all the princesses around him. He didn’t know why they were all princesses. Maybe he had the constitution that attracted princesses?

Irina was sitting next to Mag, which was also close to the center.

Even though the ladies didn’t understand why Princess Irina was suddenly so interested in the restaurant’s recruitment exercise, given her status and power, it seemed rather reasonable that she was sitting at the center.

All the ladies looked excited as this was the first time that all of them were interviewers.

“Can I recruit someone that I like?” Connie said excitedly.

Mag glanced at Connie, and calmly said, “No, you can’t.”

Birds of a feather flocked together. He was afraid the restaurant’s business wouldn’t be able to carry on if he recruited another dimwit.

“Sigh. A newbie has no human rights…” Connie murmured, and put her head on the table listlessly.

“It’s almost time. Let’s ask the first interviewee to come in,” Mag said after looking at the time. He picked up the information on the table. The first interviewee was Hannah, a young succubus miss.
