During the morning market, Huang Tao received several job application calls.

Gotta say, the money spent was quite effective!

Of course.

Even if he didn’t spend a dime, just posting a job ad on the door would surely attract a bunch of enthusiastic applicants.

Especially those rich kids who dine at the restaurant daily and are particularly tempted by the employee meals at the restaurant, they’re bound to fight tooth and nail for the spot.

The tasks such as washing vegetables and cleaning up don’t involve much skill, just need quick and neat hands.

These rich kids might be able to do the job, but considering they’ve lived comfortably all their lives, it’ll take them some time to adjust before they can handle it independently.

But Huang Tao’s restaurant, unlike before with the hiring of Li Chengzhan and others, can’t afford the time for them to slowly get familiar and grow.

What he needs now is someone who can start right away.

As for those older uncles and aunties from the neighborhood, they’re getting on in years, making them less suitable for the position.

To avoid wasting each other’s time and energy, he chose to spend money on online recruitment.

In the end.

He adopted a wide-net approach, asking these job seekers to come around nine o’clock.

And sure enough.

At nine o’clock, the first interviewee arrived right on time.

It’s just...

Looking at the young woman in front of him, with her perfect big wavy curls, a branded cashmere coat, stiletto heels, a designer handbag on her shoulder, manicured nails, and exquisite makeup, around 25 years old...

Huang Tao looked her up and down, inside and out, and couldn’t see her as someone who would wash vegetables in the back kitchen!

She looked more like she worked in an office building. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

If she hadn’t said she was here to apply for the vegetable washer position and handed him her resume, he would have thought she was in the wrong place or coming in to dine!

He really wanted to ask her: Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about the term ’vegetable washer’?

He apologetically said, "Sorry, you’re not suitable for this position."

The confident smile on the young woman’s face with wavy curls froze in mid-air, disbelief in her eyes.

But Huang Tao’s words made her realize she was indeed passed over.

Not giving up, she asked, "Boss, can you tell me the reason?"

"You studied dance, and looking at your hands, they don’t seem suited for such labor-intensive work. The work in the back kitchen involves washing vegetables and cleaning tables, are you sure you can do it?"

The young woman with wavy curls couldn’t help but change her expression.

Honestly, with her hands that haven’t touched hard work, she may really not be able to handle it.

The reason she came to apply here was naturally for the employee meals at Delicious Restaurant!

She thought with her resume and looks, she could easily land the job, but didn’t expect...

Idealism is beautiful, but reality is harsh!

She was directly swept aside!

Unwilling, she looked pitifully at Huang Tao.

Wanting to soften his heart with her appearance, convincing him to change his mind, hire her, and arrange for her to serve as the restaurant’s face... as a cashier.

But instead...

Faced with her beauty, Huang Tao wasn’t affected at all. He gentlemanly pointed to the door not far away and coldly said, "The door is behind you, take care."

The young woman with wavy curls: "..."

What else could she do?

She could only forgive him!

Who’s to blame for his delicious cooking!?

Suffused with speechlessness and helplessness, she reluctantly twisted her waist and left the store.

Having sent away one outrageous applicant, he thought there wouldn’t be a second one.

But he still underestimated his restaurant’s charm...

Especially the charm of providing three meals...

A short-haired girl with glasses handed over her resume and health certificate with a smile: "Boss, here’s my resume and health certificate..."

Huang Tao took her resume, glanced over it.

Tsk, tsk, tsk~

Simply dazzling!

Almost blinding his sharp eyes!

Couldn’t find a single flaw.

Looking at the various awards noted on her resume and competition experiences, her educational background was definitely high-end... a graduate student.

Oh dear, oh dear~

Is applying for a vegetable washing position this competitive now?

This resume completely overturned his understanding.

He even felt she was too overqualified to work in his restaurant!

"With such outstanding achievements and high qualifications, why are you applying for the position of washing and cleaning here?"

Uh~

Look at how you asked that.

Of course, it was due to craving Boss Huang’s employee meals!

But naturally, she couldn’t say that directly.

She gave a gentle smile and replied, "I’ve long admired Boss Huang and am a loyal patron of your restaurant, often coming here to dine. I really like the working environment here and have long wanted to work in your restaurant. Unfortunately, you weren’t hiring then. When I saw your job ad online this morning, I didn’t hesitate to send in my resume. Don’t worry, Boss, I did part-time jobs while in school, held many roles like a convenience store cashier and a tutor, and have worked in hotel kitchens doing the washing up and cleaning tasks. With this experience, I’m fully confident I can handle the job of washing and cleaning. Please give me this opportunity, Boss Huang, and I promise to work diligently."

Given her relevant work experience and being a high-caliber woman, Huang Tao had no reason to refuse.

But he had concerns!

"What I’m hiring for is a long-term position. If you’re just looking for a temporary job, I suggest seeking a higher position elsewhere! Besides, with your qualifications and abilities, you’re overqualified here."

She nodded resolutely, "Boss Huang, don’t worry, I’m looking for a long-term job. Unless you fire me, I’m not planning to leave."

Having said that much, Huang Tao had even less reason to refuse.

"Alright then, Yang Huiru, right? Start work at the restaurant tomorrow. Are you clear on the working hours and benefits?"

"Yes, I am. Probation pay is four thousand five hundred, after a month it’s five thousand, with social insurance and three meals provided."

This salary is not considered low for the position, not to mention that the salary will increase after the probation period, with social insurance and three meals included.

Even if not for the salary, just having the three meals covered would attract plenty of people to be vegetable washers.

Hiring two vegetable washers was easy.

Soon, another vegetable washer was hired and there was no need for further interviews.

This wasn’t a high-requirement job; as long as one could wash vegetables and clean, it was done in about half an hour.

Huang Tao asked Yang Huiru and Ren Meilan to leave first and officially start work the next morning.

Both of them were extremely happy about successfully getting hired.

What does it mean to wash vegetables at Delicious Restaurant?

It means no more waiting in line and eating Huang Tao’s cooking.

And having it every day, every meal.

Washing vegetables and cleaning is nothing compared to that.

They’d do the work every day, as long as they got a meal out of it!

"Those two were really lucky! The rest of us got here too late, didn’t even get to see anyone; the interviews were over."

"Honestly, it’s so unfair to us! Clearly, we’re all excellent, but missed our chance! It’s all because the traffic on the way was bad and I got here later. Otherwise, Boss Huang would’ve surely picked me."

"Oh, don’t mention it. Brings a tear to my eye! Guess we’ll have to wait for the next chance!"

"Yeah, that’s all we can do! But I’m staying to line up for a meal, to soothe my wounded heart at least."
