Chapter 1285 - A Newbie Has No Human Rights
A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World
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 Elvesâ needs if they built another two blocks of employee dormitory.
âThis is not bad. Itâs much better than the underground cavern.â Irina walked one round in the factory building and nodded with satisfaction.
âAlright. Then I will get some craftsmen to do the repairs.â Mag was quite satisfied too. Initially, he was still worried that the machinesâ noises would disturb the people living nearby, but given this factory buildingâs location, they didnât 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.
âHowever, what do you intend to let them do?â Irina asked Mag as she looked around.
âWhy donât we do textile spinning? This factory building is perfect for it.â
âTextile spinning?â Irina frowned.
âYou will find out later,â Mag said smilingly. After taking another look at the factory building, he said, âLetâs go. Weâve got to go back now, or else weâre not going to make it for the lunch service.
âOh, yes. I need to conduct an interview for a new staff member in the afternoon. Do you wanna join in?â
âInterview?â
âItâs to test those people who registered face-to-face to see if they are suitable to join the restaurantâs staff.â
âThis sounds interesting. I am the restaurantâs lady boss, so I should take part, right?â
***
âService staffâs recruitment. Interview would take place this afternoon. The name list is: [â¦].â
The customers lining up in the afternoon saw that notice on the restaurantâs door. There were two long rows of names on it.
âItâs fantastic, I am on the name list!â
âOh my heavens. I am not on the list!â
âHey, Mister, donât you think you have gone overboard trying to lie about your gender?â
âWhat do you know? Not everyone knows how to admire my beauty.â
As the customers read the name list, some of them were happy, while others were sad.
âHuh? Rena? Could this really be her?â 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 couldnât even eat lunch.
***
âRena, I brought you a biscuit. Eat it first before you continue,â 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.
âMm-hm. Thanks,â 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, âOh, yes. I went to Mamy Restaurant for lunch earlier, and saw the interview name list. Thereâs someone on the list that has the same name as you. Did you really register for it?â
Rip.
The quill in Renaâs hand tore the ledgerâs page, but she didnât care about it. Instead, she suddenly raised her head in surprise, and said, âReally? Can I really go for the interview?â
âItâs really you.â Shanshan was astonished too, but she swiftly nodded. âI did see your name, and the notice says the interview starts in the afternoon. Itâs already 1.30 pm now, so it should already begin.â
âNo. Iâve got to go for the interview!â Rena stood up instantly and started to walk to the door.
Shanshan gazed at the thick ledgers next to Rena, and concernedly reminded, âBut Rena, didnât Boss say that youâve got to hand in the ledgers to her by today?â
Renaâs footsteps halted as she turned to look at those ledgers and thought of the bossâ warning. There was hesitation in her eyes as she would be fired if she couldnât finish these assignments today.
She wasnât very confident that she would succeed in the interview. She really didnât look very good when compared to those beautiful ladies in Mamy Restaurant.
If she didnât succeed in the interview and got fired from her current job, she wouldnât 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.
âRena, 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,â Shanshan said.
âThisâ¦â Rena looked at Shanshan with hesitation on her face.
âAlthough I canât bear to see you go, it is definitely a good thing if you join Mamy Restaurantâs staff. Maybe you could even get me another helping of tofu pudding.â Shanshan got up and took half of the ledgers from Rena and returned to her seat. âLetâs begin. We can do it.â
âThank you, Shanshan,â Rena said with reddened eyes. She, too, quickly returned to her seat and picked up the quill again.

After the lunch serviceâs end and a short rest period, Mag began the first formal interview for Mamy Restaurantâs recruitment exercise.
The interviewersâ 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 Dragonsâ princesses, Elizabeth and Yabemiya; Moon Nationâs princess, Babla; Lantisdeâs princess, Gina; Falk Tribeâs 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 intervieweeâs seat.
And there were all sorts of tools to test the intervieweeâs 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 didnât 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 didnât understand why Princess Irina was suddenly so interested in the restaurantâs 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.
âCan I recruit someone that I like?â Connie said excitedly.
Mag glanced at Connie, and calmly said, âNo, you canât.â
Birds of a feather flocked together. He was afraid the restaurantâs business wouldnât be able to carry on if he recruited another dimwit.
âSigh. A newbie has no human rightsâ¦â Connie murmured, and put her head on the table listlessly.
âItâs almost time. Letâs ask the first interviewee to come in,â Mag said after looking at the time. He picked up the information on the table. The first interviewee was Hannah, a young succubus miss.
