"Does it match, this tattered cloak, fight, fight with the humblest dreams, for the sobs and roars in the darkness, who says standing in the light makes you a hero..."

Xuanxuan, like a cute little hedgehog, crouched in front of the electric scooter, singing the children's song she recently learned, and arrived at the kindergarten.

Huang Tao was puzzled!

How did this game-derived animation theme song become a children's song?

Not only is it the favorite of Huaxia's elementary and middle school students!

Even this "prime location" kindergarten has been conquered.

It became popular among the kids in kindergarten.

After parking the car, Huang Tao held her and got off the vehicle.

He held her small hand with one hand, and her backpack and small water bottle with the other, walking to the kindergarten entrance.

"Xuanxuan, we're at the school gate, you go in..."

Bending down, he helped the little one put on her backpack and slung the small water bottle, unable to help but remind her again: "Make sure to eat well at lunch, listen to your teachers, and I'll come early in the afternoon to pick you up."

Xuanxuan obediently nodded, making a sound of agreement.

Huang Tao turned his face to her: "Come on, give me a kiss."

Xuanxuan immediately straightened up and quickly pecked her dad's cheek.

"Go on in! Dad will watch you go in."

"See you in the afternoon, Dad!"

The little one waved to him, and when she reached the kindergarten entrance, she politely greeted the older kids who served as little etiquette angels: "Good morning!"

Watching her figure disappear behind the school building, he headed back to the shop.

On the way back.

He stopped by a nearby copy shop.

Printed a recruitment notice and a temporary closure announcement and headed back.

For the closure notice, he planned to post it on November 10 to avoid causing unnecessary panic by doing it too early.

So, he first posted the recruitment notice in the most conspicuous place at the shop entrance.

Recruiting 4 temporary workers, aged 20-40, neat, healthy, quick at work, with meals provided.

Salary: 300 per day (paid every three days).

Working hours: November 11 - November 13 (three days, 10:30 AM to 10:30 PM daily).

Work content: packaging, cashier duties, and other miscellaneous tasks.

Done!

Hope it has some effect!

Otherwise, Huang Tao would have to personally go to the labor market to hire people!

This time, the elderly men and women dining in the shop gradually came out.

Naturally, many noticed the newly posted recruitment notice at the entrance.

Eyes lit up!

What does working as a temporary worker at a food festival mean?

It means three days without lining up, and they can eat the dishes cooked by Boss Huang.

Plus, they get to enjoy the bustling atmosphere of the festival.

What's the big deal about doing some work?

They work every day as long as they get fed, and they're willing!

After all, staying idle at home is just being idle!

Each of them was eager to interview with Huang Tao right away.

But upon seeing the age requirement...

They only wished they had been born ten or twenty years earlier...

The elderly men and women shook their heads regretfully and left with slight disappointment.

...

In the kitchen, Xu Hao, having finished his work, finally had time to handle the tasks Huang Tao assigned him.

He called his good roommate Lin Zifeng.

A moment later, the call connected.

On the other end, Lin Zifeng's voice jokingly came through: "Haozi? Just a few hours apart and you miss me this much? You even called me."

Xu Hao: (＿＿)ノ｜holds the wall

If he wanted to miss someone, it would be his Qiumo, why would he miss a tough guy like you!

"Stop kidding, I have serious business with you."

"What's the serious business?"

"The place where I work needs an assistant cook now. The salary and benefits: 6500 RMB, and after the probation period, 7500 RMB, with social security, meals provided, two days off a month, and if you do well, there's a bonus at the end of the month. Didn't you say you weren't happy with the conditions at your internship restaurant and wanted to change jobs? Why not switch over and work at my place..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zifeng was overjoyed!

He'd always envied Xu Hao for finding such a well-paying job.

Just moments ago, he was thinking how great it would be to find such a job...

And then, Xu Hao called him, inviting him to switch to his restaurant.

This is like getting a pillow when you're about to nap... absolutely perfect, couldn't have asked for more~

"Good bro, you're still thinking of me! This job, I couldn't wish for more, it's what I've been dreaming of!"

He was so happy, he couldn't wait to start working at the Delicious Restaurant: "Haozi, tell me quickly, when is the interview? Is it now?"

"Judging by your tone, you didn't go to work today?"

"Yeah! I just submitted my resignation letter to my internship restaurant this morning, settled my current wages, and as soon as I left, I got your call. Haozi, you're really my lucky star!"

Xu Hao thought Lin Zifeng's talk about quitting a few days ago was just talk, but it turns out he's quite the doer!

He acted so quickly and resigned...

"Alright, wait a moment, my boss just came back, I'll go ask him about the interview time."

Seeing Huang Tao enter the shop, Xu Hao quickly called out: "Boss, my friend Lin Zifeng is willing to work here, when can he interview? If it's convenient, he can come over now."

"Then let him come over now and bring all the necessary documents."

Huang Tao didn't expect Xu Hao to be so efficient, immediately securing a candidate for the assistant cook position.

Of course, the interview process is still essential.

"Okay, boss."

Xu Hao nodded, then passed Huang Tao's message to Lin Zifeng.

After hearing it, Lin Zifeng left a message, "I have all my documents with me, Haozi, send me the location, and I'll head over," and then hung up the phone.

After receiving the location from Xu Hao, he quickly took the subway to the Delicious Restaurant.

...

Lin Yuhan and Yan Ming, hand in hand, arrived at the West City Old Street Delicious Shop.

As soon as they reached the entrance, they saw the eye-catching red recruitment notice.

"Eh? Boss Huang is hiring temporary workers?"

Foodie Yan Ming was instantly attracted by the promise of three meals included in the job offer.

Of course, earning some extra cash wouldn't be bad either.

That way, there wouldn't be any worry about date expenses!

"What? You want to apply?" Lin Yuhan asked with a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"I do!"

Yan Ming nodded without hesitation.

"Then let's apply together!"

"No way! This is physical work; it's not suitable for girls like you." Yan Ming worried she wouldn't be able to handle it.

"I can handle flipping pots, so packing and cashier tasks are even easier for me.

Lin Yuhan mumbled defiantly and then bashfully added, "As long as I'm with you, I'm willing to endure the hardship."

The unexpected confession made Yan Ming admit defeat instantly.

"Ah! I really can't win with you... Let's go... Ask Boss Huang first..."

Yan Ming looked at her tenderly as he held her hand and pushed open the store door.

"Creak~"

Hearing the door creak, Huang Tao turned his head to see...

And saw Lin Yuhan and Yan Ming, hand in hand, walk in. He instantly understood and smiled: "Congratulations, you two."

"Thank you, Boss Huang. It's thanks to you that I can be with him~" Lin Yuhan expressed her gratitude.

Being thanked twice in a morning, Huang Tao fell into contemplation.

He was just a cook, so why had he become a matchmaker for two couples?

Could it be that he was a matchmaker delayed by his culinary skills?

The thought almost made him chuckle.

"Please, no need to thank me." He waved his hand with a smile: "You two didn't just come to thank me, did you?"

"Boss Huang, at first we did just want to thank you, but then we saw the recruitment notice at your door, so we want to apply. What do you think, can we?"

Huang Tao was just worried about not having anyone applying for the temporary jobs!

These two young people coming to apply was exactly what he hoped for.

But he also had concerns: "You can, but won't it interfere with your studies? The job requires three days, including Monday."

"No worries, we don't have classes on Monday..."

"Alright, do you have health certificates?"

"We do."

Lin Yuhan and Yan Ming nodded.

Huang Tao thought, since he could recruit these two college students like Lin Yuhan.

It shouldn't be too hard to hire two more university students as temporary workers, right?

After all, apart from retirees, the most available people now are college students without classes.

He asked with a smile, "Among your classmates, does anyone else want to work three days as a temporary worker in my shop? If so, could you help me find two more?"

"No problem, my good buddies Wei and Ji have time, and they'd be thrilled!" Yan Ming remembered his good buddies.

"Then help me contact them."

Yan Ming shared Boss Huang's recruitment info in his dorm group chat.

As soon as the message was sent, a wave of exclamation marks appeared in the chat.

[Wei]: !!!

[Ji]: Awesome!!!

[Wei]: I've dreamed of working at Boss Huang's, so is my dream coming true now?

[Ji]: Yan Ming, tell Boss Huang that I'll take the three-day temp job for sure; I'll come over to apply soon.

[Wei]: Same here! Yan Ming, there must be a spot for me in this temp job!!!

Yan Ming handed his phone to Huang Tao and said with a smile, "Boss Huang, my buddies are very eager."

"Well then, tell them to come at 8 AM on the 11th with their health certificates, same for you two."

"They'll be here later, not on the 11th."

Just as they were speaking!

Lin Zifeng pushed the door open and came in, seeing them standing inside, he smiled and asked, "Excuse me, who is the boss here?"

Huang Tao glanced over: "That's me, is there something you need?"

"I was referred by Xu Hao, my name is Lin Zifeng, and I'm here to apply for the assistant chef position." Lin Zifeng stated his purpose.

"Zifeng, you're here!"

Xu Hao, hearing his roommate's voice, also came over. After greeting, he smiled at Huang Tao: "Boss, he's the classmate I told you about."

Huang Tao nodded: "Hello, Zifeng, do you have all your documents?"

"I do!"

Lin Zifeng took out a stack of documents from his backpack and handed them to Huang Tao: "Here's my health certificate and ID."

Huang Tao took and checked the documents Lin Zifeng handed over.

Overall, not bad!

Not as outstanding as Xu Hao, but still a top student.

More than sufficient to be an assistant chef at the store.

"The store will be very busy, and the food festival is coming up, so it will get even busier. Are you mentally prepared for this?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Haozi told me before, so I'm aware. The busier it is, the more I'll be needed in the store!"

It's rare he doesn't have that arrogance, and he can approach working at a small restaurant with a positive attitude.

That's a good thing; as long as he's willing, he can also grow at this Delicious Restaurant.

Huang Tao smiled and said, "Alright, it's you! You're familiar with the pay and benefits, right?"

"I know, Haozi told me everything!"

"Then welcome to the Delicious Restaurant!" Huang Tao and Xu Hao clapped to welcome him.

"Thank you, boss. I'll work hard and won't let you down."

"Good!"

Huang Tao nodded with a smile, "Haozi, take Zifeng to get familiar with the work environment!"

"Zifeng, come with me!"

Xu Hao got Lin Zifeng a chef's uniform and took him to the kitchen.

With the staffing finally complete, Huang Tao could finally breathe a small sigh of relief.
