Sally didn't know how she got to Aden Square. She only remembered that after lunch, there was nothing to do at the hotel, so she wandered around aimlessly out of boredom. When she came to her senses, she was already in Aden Square, and as soon as she looked up, she saw Mai Ge riding a strange two-wheeled vehicle.
"Guang Luo Job Agency?" Sally looked at the shop sign, frowning slightly in thought. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she murmured to herself, "Could it be… he's here to recruit employees?"
"No, the restaurant already has a half-dragon waiter." Sally quickly dismissed her own thought, continuing to frown and ponder. After a while, she suddenly snapped out of it, her expression turning strange as she wondered, "Why was I so excited when I found out he might be hiring? Do I really want to work as a waitress?"
"No! Absolutely not! I still have a dream. I must travel to all the places Princess Irina went back then, see all the scenery she saw, and stand where I can be on par with her!" Sally shook her head vigorously, telling herself firmly.
"But…" Sally's gaze gradually shifted towards the direction of the Restaurant Mai Mi's, and she slowly became confused again. "The sweet tofu pudding was so delicious, and the rainbow fried rice was so delicious too. And the dishes from now on…"
Sally stopped, feeling a little too weak to walk any further. At that moment, she felt that dreams and such were fading away.
"Boss Mai, let me look around for you. If I find any good talent, I'll definitely reserve them for you first." Half an hour later, Chris saw Mai Ge out with a wry smile. This guy had been looking for another half hour, but he hadn't found anyone he liked. If this continued, he felt that his already nearly lost hair would all fall out.
"Thank you for your trouble." Mai Ge said a little embarrassedly. A good employee can significantly improve the quality of a restaurant, such as Yabemia, who brings a good mood to guests with her smile. However, a waiter with poor manners can greatly reduce the dining experience for guests.
Therefore, Mai Ge has high standards for waiters, he would rather have none than to have bad ones. Among the resumes he looked at today, there were a few that were quite good, but they were still a bit short of Mai Ge's expectations, so he didn't finalize anything.
"Let's not do this business." Chris muttered to himself as he watched Mai Ge slowly ride away on his bicycle, then turned to greet the other customers.
Mai Ge rode for a while, then glanced slightly to the side, quickened his pace a bit, before slowing down again.
"Why were you following me?" The bicycle stopped in front of the restaurant. Mai Ge dismounted, turned to look at Sally standing not far behind him, his expression a mixture of scrutiny and wariness.
The elves had stabbed Mai Ge • Alex in the back years ago, and he still had a file on the elves in his bicycle basket. Although Sally had eaten at the restaurant twice, but following him back today still made him a little wary.
"I…" Sally's usually cool face showed a hint of nervousness and embarrassment. She didn't know why she had followed Mai Ge all this way. Her hands were twisted together. She lowered her eyes and remained silent for a while before finally mustering the courage to look up at Mai Ge and say seriously, "If your restaurant needs an employee, I would like to apply for the job, is that okay?"
"Hmm?" Mai Ge raised an eyebrow, looking at Sally, who was dressed in a light silver dress, tall and elegant, with disbelief. She was here to apply for a waitress position?
"How did you know I was hiring a waitress?" Mai Ge wasn't fooled, instead, his guard rose slightly.
Judging from Sally's clothes and demeanor, her family background and status are definitely not bad, she is most likely a young lady from a prominent elven family.
How could someone of her status and position possibly apply for a waitress job at a restaurant? The rice for Yang Zhou Fried Rice is grown from a branch of the Fountain of Life, perhaps she came for that? Or is it related to what happened three years ago?
In the blink of an eye, numerous doubts and speculations flashed through Mai Ge's mind.
Sally's anxiety intensified as she looked at Mai Ge's furrowed brow. She only had twelve dragon coins left in her pocket, while a serving of Yang Zhou Fried Rice cost six gold coins, and adding a serving of tofu pudding would bring the total to eight gold coins. If she ate like that everyday, she would become a penniless pauper in just a few days.
Not wanting to go home right now, but craving delicious Yang Zhou Fried Rice and tofu pudding, Sally's only option was to work hard with her own hands.
"I just saw you go into the job agency, and the restaurant is so busy, so I guessed you were looking to hire new staff." Sally said quickly. Then, fearing Mai Ge might suspect something, she added, "That's when I started following you."
"I see." Mai Ge's brows relaxed a little as he looked Sally over again. Her long, light golden hair was tied back in a neat ponytail. She had fair skin, a delicate face, and a pair of small, pointed ears that stood up on either side. Her light blue eyes gave her a noble and aloof look.
She wore a light silver long dress with gold thread embroidery along the edges, revealing her delicate collarbone and a pair of long, fair legs. With such looks and temperament, she was more than qualified to be a restaurant waitress, providing guests with a pleasing visual experience.
However, the restaurant doesn't need to add a superfluous decorative vase. Mai Ge plans to hire new employees to share Yabemia's workload and improve the restaurant's ordering efficiency.
As his physical abilities improve, his cooking speed also increases dramatically. He might even be able to cook five or six woks of Yang Zhou Fried Rice at the same time without any problem, ability is what he values most.
If a man was to stare at her like that normally, Sally would definitely glare back immediately. And if she was to be stared at again, she wouldn't mind letting him taste the flavor of an arrow.
But now, being scrutinized by Mai Ge, with no hint of lewdness in his gaze, but rather as if she was being interrogated, Sally hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Mai Ge and said, "I don't need a salary, as long as... as long as... I can have a serving of tofu pudding everyday."
"A serving of tofu pudding?" Mai Ge raised an eyebrow. This girl was really easy to please. Looking at Sally's cool face, which couldn't hide her expectation and longing, Mai Ge seemed to understand why this girl wanted to be a waitress.
"The restaurant does need to hire a waitress. If you are hired, your salary and benefits will be paid as usual. I won't just give you a bowl of tofu pudding, but I also won't just hire anyone for a bowl of tofu pudding." Mai Ge, carrying his bicycle, pushed open the door and entered. He stopped at the door, turned around and looked at Sally, saying, "Since you want to give it a try, then come in."
