Chapter 1657: Chapter 1670: Hiring a Beautiful Chef

Sophie’s eyes widened, nearly distorting her nose with anger. Is this how an employee speaks to their boss? Simply outrageous!

She angrily threw the piece of bread she had bitten on the table, and the beautiful CEO snorted coldly, "In a rush? What are you rushing for! Just calculate yourself, how many days has it been since you last came to work? Not doing your job all day, going out to fool around, aren’t you ashamed of the high salary I give you?"

"Sis, I haven’t even pocketed a single penny yet, alright?"

"...That’s not the point!" Sophie slightly lost her momentum, coughed awkwardly and said, "This isn’t a reason for you to skip work."

"Come on, when you go to work, what’s the point of me tagging along, you won’t even let your brother exchange insights with those pretty ladies..."

Lin Mu rolled his eyes and muttered, "Staring at your poker face all day, I’m about to get mentally depressed."

"What did you say?" Sophie’s small face darkened, she was about to step forward and kick him but suddenly remembered she was wearing a short skirt today. Raising her leg recklessly might risk exposure, so to avoid giving someone a free show, she suppressed her anger and snorted, "Fine, if you don’t want to go to work, at least do something useful! With Nanny Wang gone, there’s not even a hot meal at home, go hire a cook back, the skill doesn’t have to be perfect, what’s important is a good character, a clean background, preferably with a Wancheng household registration..."

"Oh come on, this is something anyone can do, do I really need to step in?"

"Stop babbling, are you going or not!"

"No!"

"Then you’ll be the one cooking meals at home in the future."

"Me, cook? Are you kidding! A gentleman stays away from the kitchen, have you never heard of that?" Lin Mu rolled his eyes, and without waiting for Sophie to speak, he said, "You still owe me unpaid wages, and now you want to exploit my residual labor, no way!"

"Ugh, can’t you both just say one less thing?"

Seeing the two glaring at each other and arguing vigorously, Song Yanan couldn’t help but rub his forehead and intervened, "Lin Mu, Feifei asked you to go for a reason. After what happened with Nanny Wang, apart from you, who else can we trust? If we let others handle this and end up bringing back an assassin, what then? Plus, you have a good eye and can choose the right person, you’re the only man in the house, help us two women find a reliable person, how much effort would that really take!"

"Look how well he speaks, can’t you be a bit more gentle? You always shout so loudly, people who know you are alright, but people who don’t might think you’re having a hormonal imbalance," Lin Mu smacked his lips and glanced at Sophie, who raised an eyebrow about to erupt, but was held down by Song Yanan.

"Why are you holding me back? That jerk, is he even speaking human language?"

After Lin Mu walked out of the villa, Sophie plopped down on the sofa, hugging her cushion and squeezing it, her small face turning pale from anger.

"Oh dear, Lin Mu’s just a stubborn mule, why insist on being headstrong with him?"

Song Yanan took a sip of milk and spoke with a smile.

"Hmph, I’m the boss, alright? Why should I accommodate a mere employee."

"Fine, fine, you’re the boss! We won’t accommodate him, beat him when you want, punish him when you wish!"

Song Yanan couldn’t help but laugh while comforting her until Sophie calmed down, and then buried her face and said, "Feifei, there’s something I haven’t gotten the chance to tell you, I calculated the past few days and found the construction company’s budget has exceeded..."

"Ah? How did this happen? How big is the shortfall?" Sophie’s expression turned shocked, hurriedly putting down the milk cup in hand. Currently with Yunhai in financial straits, she wishes she could split a penny into two; budget overages are the worst possible bad news.

"Sigh, this is also my mistake. The construction company was shut down for two years; many pieces of equipment have rusted and aged. Even with repairs, many things are completely scrapped and can no longer be used." Song Yanan sighed, furrowing his brows, "Personnel can still be arranged, but this equipment, sigh, refurbishing them costs nothing less than a million..."

"That much?" Sophie jumped in fright.

Meanwhile, Lin Mu was also startled.

What the hell, broad daylight, there’s a bunch of idiots streaking on the provincial road?

What a mess, honestly, society is declining, morals lost, where’s the integrity!

Watching seven or eight rough men like untamed wild dogs charge out from the woods, wiggling their hairy black legs and plump buttocks, dart into a van on the roadside and quickly speed off into oblivion, Lin Mu felt his titanium alloy eyes nearly got blinded into nearsightedness.

It took him a while to calm down his fragile heart, and he cursed under his breath, pressed the accelerator, and sped toward the city. Not long after he’d left, a petite girl walked out from the woods, "Ugh, so pointless, scared so easily, and still dare to come out as villains... that license plate looks familiar, hmm, anyway, haven’t thought of a way to sneak in, might as well follow them and take a look, might catch a chance..."

Finding a cook, going to an agency is the best choice, however, Lin Mu had his own plans. The car pulled up to the talent market; he found Yunhai’s regular recruitment spot, picked up a board, and with a big wave of the pen, he prepared everything, just waiting for the ’fish’ to bite.

"Come on, really? A salary of ten thousand a month, are they hiring a cook or a mistress?"

"Who knows, but if it’s Su’s Great Enterprise hiring, it should be pretty solid, right?"

"Why not give it a try, actually I have some study in cooking, Little Chicken Stew with Mushrooms is my specialty."

"Forget it, see how it’s clearly written, it’s for a cook! To apply for it, you’d probably have to cut off your little dumpling and stew mushroom soup before you’re qualified."

Though there wasn’t a big recruitment event today, being graduation season, the talent market was packed with college students looking for jobs. Among them, upon seeing such generous compensation, many were tempted. No doubt, in this day and age, having a degree doesn’t mean squat if you can’t find a good job. A salary of ten thousand a month, with no experience required, this is simply a godsend for college grads! As for whether they’d end up being cooks or stepmothers after taking the job, it’s completely unimportant now. At least, nobody is considering that right now.

No sooner had Lin Mu set up the sign did a group of decked-out beauties holding résumés swarm in. Upon learning Lin Mu was the interviewer with the authority to hire, the beauties’ enthusiasm skyrocketed tenfold, and suddenly Lin Mu was swamped amidst pretty faces and slender arms.

"Bro, I’m a Lanxiang graduate from the top chef class, got killer skills, hire me, I won’t let you down." A girl shaped like a cylinder with a face full of pimples dashed to the front, spitting words everywhere.

Lin Mu shivered, shifted away, and decisively tossed her résumé into the trash bin.
