Chapter 1105 Being Able To Meet You Is My Greatest Fortune, Mr. Mag
Mag caught a piece of cuc.u.mber that rolled out of the cutting board, and popped it into his mouth. He chewed on the crispy cuc.u.mber, smiled, and said to the embarra.s.sed Camilla, “Congratulations, you are recruited. If nothing unusual happens, you can come over to familiarize yourself with the job tomorrow morning. Firis will tell you about your job scope.”Camilla, who was still trying to diffuse the awkwardness, was taken aback. She said to Mag, “Didn’t you say claws are not allowed?”
“I have already thought of a solution. I will explain it to you when you come over tomorrow,” Mag replied calmly.
“Come over here. I have something to say to you in private.” Camilla turned and walked out of the kitchen.
“Give me a minute,” Mag said to Firis before following Camilla to a place near the door.
“Even though I am coerced by you and your despicable means to complete certain tasks, me working in your restaurant as a service staff member cannot be known to others. Otherwise, my reputation will be seriously damaged,” Camilla said seriously.
Mag nodded in agreement. “Ingredient preparation can be done and completed before the restaurant opens for business. If you do not wish for others to know about this, you can leave after you complete your job. Then, the customers won’t know you are an employee of the restaurant.”
“Let’s agree that it’s only for a year. If you dare to scheme against me when the time’s up, I will not let you off easily,” Camilla said, clenching her fists.
“Don’t worry. I am a man of his word. As long as you work seriously and are obedient this year, I will return you all the Photostones.” Mag nodded.
“Hmph.” Camilla huffed coldly before she turned to leave.
“Wait a sec, let me pa.s.s you the chef’s uniform.” Mag went behind the counter, took out a female chef’s uniform, and pa.s.sed it to Camilla right away.
“You are letting me, a countess, wear such a thing?” Camilla glared at the chef’s uniform in Mag’s hands with a hint of fury in her eyes.
“This is a work uniform. Cooks have to make sure that the food they prepare for their customers is clean and hygienic. The dress you are wearing and the loose hair are obviously not up to standards.” Mag looked at her big, wavy hair. If a strand fell into the ingredients, it would be a disaster.
Camilla hesitated for a moment before accepting the chef’s uniform.
“Oh, yes. Since you are going to be part of the restaurant’s staff, it’s not convenient to address you ‘countess’. I will call you Camilla.” Mag paused for a moment before smiling. “You can call me Boss.”
How dare this chap address me by my name! Flames of fury danced in Camilla’s eyes as she said with clenched teeth, “Mag!!”
“Alright. You may call me whatever you want.” Mag shrugged nonchalantly. Anyway, he didn’t care about that.
Camilla grabbed the clothes and left in a huff. This was a h.e.l.lhole, and she couldn’t bear to stay a second longer.
The black cat servant came forward, and cautiously asked a seemingly furious Camilla, “Madam, are you alright? Your expression doesn’t look too good. What is it you are holding in your hands?”
“p.i.s.s off!”
Camilla rubbed the chef’s uniform in her hands on the black cat’s face before transforming into a black shadow and disappeared.
“Is this a chef’s uniform? Why is Madam holding a chef’s uniform?” Caesar stared at the clothes confusedly, but it quickly transformed into a black light and followed Camilla.
…
After Camilla left, Mag began to teach Firis how to make braised chicken and rice.
This dish was actually much easier than Yangzhou fried rice. One only had to put the ingredients into the pot according to the sequence, and then get them out at the right timing.
Firis was a quick learner, so Mag had an easy time teaching her, and soon completed his tutorial.
Mag washed his hands and prepared to leave.
“Mr. Mag, do you think Her Highness can succeed?” Firis suddenly asked from behind.
“She can. She definitely can.” Mag turned to look at her and nodded with conviction.
Firis’s nervous expression relaxed instantly. She sniffled, and said, “Thank you.”
“I am going out now. Please continue,” Mag replied smilingly as he walked outward with his bicycle.
…
He rode his bicycle to Chaos School. Today was the students’ day off, so the guard allowed Mag to ride the bicycle into the school.
When Mag rode to the female teachers’ dormitory, Luna happened to walk out with a stack of students’ workbooks. Slightly taken aback, she asked, “What are you doing here, Mr. Mag?”
“Teacher Luna, I came here to look for you. I didn’t expect to already b.u.mp into you,” Mag said with a smile.
“Why are you looking for me?” Luna looked at Mag perplexedly.
“It’s about the foundation. Miss Gloria came to look for me earlier about Blue Suede Fas.h.i.+on’s donations and the children’s winter jackets.”
“Let’s take a seat at the pavilion for a while.” Luna led Mag to a pavilion at a side.
“Miss Gloria had promised earlier to donate 10% of Blue Suede Fas.h.i.+on’s profits…”
Mag repeated to Luna what Gloria told him in that afternoon, and pa.s.sed the two money checks to Luna.
“Here are two money checks. One is from Miss Gloria. The other one is my little token for the children,” Mag said smilingly.
Mag could be considered to have some considerable a.s.sets now, so he donated his 10% of the profits that Gloria gave him today too.
“Mr Mag, your ice cream shop has already given plenty of help to the foundation. This money…” Luna said with hesitation.
Mag shook his head, and smilingly said, “The children still need to go to school and eat. There are plenty of things you need to spend money on. Please keep this for the foundation, Teacher Luna. It was because of you that Amy didn’t go hungry then. Now, we are able to help even more children.”
Luna looked at Mag’s gentle eyes, and her heart softened too. She smiled and nodded. “Yes. Now the children can fill their stomach every day, and no longer need to beg on the streets and rummage through things to look for food. Now, there are smiles on their faces, just like normal children.”
“The children should attend school after the winter. I wonder if the school buildings are ready?” Mag asked.
Luna nodded. “The school buildings that are prepared for the children are all built. The construction team sent by the city lord’s castle was very efficient. The recruitment and training of new teachers are in progress too. We are sure that the children can start school in the next term.”
Mag nodded, and said with heartfelt feelings, “They have food, shelter, and education now. Being able to meet you is these children’s greatest fortune.”
Luna gazed at Mag, and seriously said, “Being able to meet you is my greatest fortune, Mr. Mag.”
