Chapter 1618: Nondisclosure Agreement
“Er…” Mag looked at Angela. What an honest young lady.
“What’s the matter?” Angela asked curiously when she saw Mag’s strange expression.
“Nothing. It’s just that this ability might not be very useful in the restaurant.” Mag shook his head.
“How could that be?” I just have to stand at the door, and I believe that your customers would double,” Angela said confidently.
“The problem now is, even if we had half of our customer volume, the restaurant would still be filled.” Mag shook his head with a smile. Such a beautiful and attractive Miss Succubus was indeed the dream hostess for many restaurants.
All she needed to do was to use a little of her enchantment, and customers would start lining up at the door.
However, Mamy Restaurant was way past the phase where they would need to attract customers. There were already countless customers who couldn’t make it into the line every day.
“In that case…” Angela was a little defeated. She didn’t think that her charm that she took pride in would become something completely useless. She pondered seriously, and said, “Then I can serve the customers. You seem to be lacking service staff. You need more speed in serving the dishes.”
“Yes. You’ve got a very keen observation. We are indeed lacking a service staff member for the designated hot pot area.” Mag nodded. After Shirley’s disappearance, the restaurant had not hired another suitable staff member, so Babla was the only one using her spatial magic to make up for the manpower shortage. The problem with serving dishes this way was the lack of personal touch.
“Then can I do it?” Angela’s eyes lit up again.
“I will need you to show me that you can handle this job,” Mag told Angela as he leaned into his chair.
“Alright.” Angela looked at Mag. Her turquoise eyes suddenly flickered, and three completely identical Angelas appeared behind her. All of them looked at Mag and bowed slightly as they said, “Good afternoon, Boss.”
“Cloning?” Mag exclaimed as he looked at the three Angelas who were completely the same as the real Angela, and then at the Angela sitting in front of him.
Angela was very satisfied with Mag’s expression, and she a little proudly said, “That’s right. These are my clones. They are half-real, and can take on the job of serving dishes. Hiring me will be equivalent to hiring four workers. I can be in charge of serving at the designated hot pot area alone.”
“The man who marries you is the real lucky one,” Mag muttered inside. He was indeed shocked by the skill that Angela suddenly displayed, and smilingly said, “I believe that you’re capable enough to take on this role.”
“Thank you.” Angela smiled. Indeed, there was nothing that she couldn’t settle so long as she displayed her abilities.
Mag stood up and reached his hand out towards Angela with a smile as he said, “I am Mag. You can call me boss like the other employees. Welcome to Mamy Restaurant, Angela.”
“Thank you.” Angela stood up as well and held Mag’s hand. She felt something miraculous as she listened to Mag’s declaration.
“It’s currently lunch break right now, so the employees aren’t in the restaurant. I’ll introduce you to them later at night.” Mag sat back down, and told Angela, “We can have a further discussion on the salary and benefits. Signing a labor contract would also be a form of protection for both of us.”
“Labor contract?” Angela looked at Mag with bewilderment.
“It’s an agreement. This is a special rule in Chaos City in order to protect the workers,” Mag said with a smile.
“Oh.” Although Angela felt that it was strange, she thought that while in Rome, do as the Romans do. She didn’t put much thought into it.
“The employees of our restaurant have to go through a one-month probation, and the salary during probation will be 3,000 copper coins per month. However, because of your unique ability, your salary during probation will be 6,000 copper coins. After the one-month probation, I will assess your working capabilities. If you manage to convert to permanent staff, your salary will be increased to 10,000 copper coins a month.”
“10,000 copper coins… that’s enough for 10 spicy crayfishes…” Angela frowned. She thought that this salary was a little beyond her expectations.
“The three meals for employees will be provided daily, and you can choose anything on our menu. We’ve currently adjusted our meal limit, so you can eat anything you want, however much you want,” Mag explained with a smile.
“So I can have a crayfish for every meal?” Angela’s eyes lit up.
“You can if you don’t get tired of it.” Mag nodded.
“That sounds pretty good.” Angela was already looking forward to signing the contract.
The corner of Mag’s lips turned up. Indeed, no one would be able to resist the temptation of delicacies. He continued, “Do you have a place to stay in Chaos City? If you don’t, the restaurant can provide you with lodging at the employees’ dormitory. You will be living with the other staff, and it’s also closer to the restaurant, so it’s more convenient for you to come to work.”
“I’ve just arrived at Chaos City, and have no place to stay.” Angela shook her head honestly. It would be best if lodging could be provided. It was too troublesome for her otherwise since she didn’t want to go around looking for a place to stay.
“Alright. Then you can go back with the other staff when we close for the night.” Mag nodded. He got Angela to wait for a while as he went upstairs to draft a labor contract. He used an agreement paper, which had a binding effect.
“Take a look at this labor contract. If you don’t have any questions, you can sign at the back and put down your fingerprint.” Mag pushed the labor agreement towards Angela, and reminded her, “Most importantly, check the salary and benefits I’ve promised you.”
“Salary… benefits…” Angela picked up the agreement and read it seriously. The salary and benefits were as per what Mag had mentioned previously. There were also a lot of restrictions on his side. If he did not fulfill the agreement, not only would he have to compensate her 10 times her salary, he would even have to be jailed. Such an employer with a conscience was new to Angela.
“But… what does this nondisclosure agreement mean? I am not allowed to tell other people anything about the restaurant?” Angela asked as she pointed to one of the rules under Employees’ Rules.
It read: Employee should not discuss anything about the restaurant or the Employer’s private life, and should not reveal to any third party anything that the Employer did not consent to.
“Well, it’s a restaurant, so there are still some things that cannot be disclosed. Otherwise, the whole street would be making spicy crayfish within a few days.” Mag looked at Angela with a smile, and said, “You’re not here to steal the recipe, right?”
“I’m not interested in cooking.” Angela shook her head. She signed her name at the bottom of the agreement, and cut her thumb to press her thumbprint beside her signature.
The agreement gave off a golden glow and split in two, each impressing itself on Mag’s and Angela’s forehead.
“Very well, the contract signing was very successful.” Mag smiled as he kept the agreement.
“Boss, have you been to the Demon Islands?” Angela asked Mag emotionlessly as she licked her finger.
“Mm-hm. I’ve been to Carapace Island.” Mag nodded in an equally nonchalant way.
