Liu Jiaqi was startled and asked shakily, "Qin Nuo, what happened to your right hand?"
"It's a long story. I'll explain it to you when I get the chance," Qin Nuo replied.
Liu Jiaqi nodded, staring at Qin Nuo's hand, instinctively shrinking her neck back, feeling as if the hand was staring back at her, sending shivers down her spine.
The night passed without further conversation.
The next morning, Qin Nuo arrived at the restaurant.
Inside, the other employees were astonished to see him.
After the last incident, wasn't this human supposed to be banished from the restaurant? How was he still here, alive and well?
Soon, Pinocchio arrived.
He gathered all the employees in the main hall.
"Employee 3697, for successfully bringing back Ingredient No. 8, not only redeemed himself but also solved a major problem for the restaurant, making a significant contribution."
"So, here are the rewards the restaurant is presenting to Employee 3697!"
"Reward one: Weekly selection as the most outstanding employee, with a newcomer red envelope!"
"Reward two: Early termination of the seven-day probation period, promotion to restaurant supervisor, responsible for managing the West Gate area!"
"Reward three: Special restaurant pass, allowing the bearer to enter any public area of the restaurant unconditionally!"
"Reward four: A Horror Level ghost creature!"
The announcement caused a stir among the crowd.
Four rewards!!
What shocked them even more was that a human had received them!
In past examples of restaurant outings, this was extremely rare!
Many ghosts were green with envy.
This human had only been here for a few days and had already secured a supervisor position!
"Ingredient No. 8, the one that's been out of stock, how did he manage to bring it back from the Specter Supermarket?" An employee asked in shock, having previously been sent to buy Ingredient No. 8 and suffered a lot without success.
Pinocchio placed a box in front of Qin Nuo and looked up at the other employees, "The rest of you, return to your posts and prepare to open for business!"
Amidst the noise, the employees dispersed.
Qin Nuo stopped Pinocchio, who was about to leave, "So what do I do today?"
"Head to the West Gate to complete the position handover."
"Manage the order at the West Gate, supervise employees to complete their tasks, and the rest of the time is your free time," Pinocchio said.
"The daily wage is double what it was before!"
This treatment was quite appealing!
The restaurant had officially opened for business.
Employees were busy with their tasks.
"You two filthy rats, what are you dawdling for? If you keep the guests waiting and it affects me, I'll eat you both!" the ghost chef shouted angrily while cooking, seeing the two latecomer waiters.
Liu Xing and Zhang Yu hurriedly picked up the dishes and rushed out.
Once they left, both sighed in relief, wiping cold sweat off their brows.
"I can't take it anymore. If this continues, I'm going to lose my mind!" Liu Xing said, clutching his head, nearly breaking down.
"Just two more days, hang in there. At least we're still alive, unlike Yu Xiaoyang and the others..." Zhang Yu shook his head.
Originally, there were five of them assigned to the West Gate, but after five days, the other three met unfortunate ends, losing their lives due to poor service reviews.
The two of them, although still alive, were on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
"I heard we have a new supervisor at the West Gate, and they're taking over today," Zhang Yu said.
"Oh heavens, if only the supervisor was easygoing, but now they've changed. They're pushing us to our limits!" Liu Xing exclaimed in despair.
"Stop complaining and get the dishes served. There's not much time left."
The two of them picked up the dishes, and as they turned around, they saw someone approaching from a distance.
They were stunned, then exclaimed, "Qin Nuo?"
Seeing a classmate, Qin Nuo wasn't surprised. With so many classmates, they were bound to be assigned to various areas.
"You're not being transferred to our West Gate, are you?" Zhang Yu asked in shock.
"Sigh, the guests at the West Gate are very picky. Being transferred here isn't a good thing," Liu Xing said, shaking his head.
"But, since we're classmates, we'll look out for you. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask us."
"After all, surviving until now hasn't been easy for you, right?"
Their relationship with Qin Nuo wasn't particularly close, but in this world, seeing another human brought an inexplicable sense of camaraderie.
Qin Nuo finally spoke, "I am being transferred here, but not as a waiter."
"Not a waiter, then a chef?"
"Chef doesn't seem likely, maybe a greeter," Zhang Yu suggested.
"Not that either."
"Then what?" they asked, puzzled.
"Your time is running out, get the dishes served, and you'll find out later."
With that, Qin Nuo headed towards the kitchen.
They wanted to ask more, but seeing the limited time left, they had to put it aside and quickly carried the dishes to the hall.
