President, Please Be Careful

Zhao Youlin's eyes twinkled and she made her own decision. If what they prepared was not very tasty, he could still maintain them temporarily as an apprentice, provided the food was edible. After all, he was short on staff for his outlet.

However, Zhao Youlin soon realized that she was too worried. The two girls did not need anyone's sympathy as they were already fully capable of making cakes.

It takes a long time to make cookies and bread even though it looks small. They should be made from the beginning of a pile of flappy flour into a cake.

Zhao Youlin waited for about an hour before the siblings finally displayed their products before her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. Here's what we made — pineapple bread, mousse cake, mango pancakes, and puff.” The brothers pushed their creations to Zhao Youlin, then they took two steps back and continued with the cautious attitude as before. The spirit they had while making food was gone.

Zhao Youlin looked at the four types of cakes placed before her. He nodded in satisfaction. 'Mhm, they look good, and they also smell good. I wonder what it's like.'

Zhao Youlin grabbed the mango pancake and bit her. It tasted so good that it was far beyond her expectations. The sweetness and aroma of mango meet with the softness and smoothness of the cream, and the taste is further enhanced with pancakes. The parts of those materials are just good. Different tastes mix into one, but each still retains its uniqueness and does not overshadow the other.

After Zhao Youlin finished a small piece of mango pancakes, she grabbed a pineapple bun.

In fact, Zhao Youlin had never really liked pineapple bread. He always found them to be dry and unpleasant, especially after they became cold, they became sticky and mushy.

However, the pineapple bread made by An Qi was extremely crisp and delicious. They are not as greasy as they should be when it is hot and also not too sweet. They are very soft and delicious. Although it looks simple, one can see that the bakers have gone to great lengths to make it.

After enjoying the first two types of cakes, Zhao Youlin gained confidence. He tasted the other two, which also did not disappoint him.

After Zhao Youlin finished tasting the four types of pastries, she looked at the siblings who had been waiting for her comment in bewilderment. He smiled faintly and said, “Are there any more of these pastries? I want to bring them home for my son later. She likes to eat pastries.”

The brothers were surprised. "You mean…"

“If you are free in the next two days, you can come to work. Of course, if you still want to think about it for a few days, it doesn't matter to me, as long as you decide before the outlet opens for business.”

The brothers were stunned to hear Zhao Youlin's short and concise comment. Only after a while did they regain their senses and cheer in excitement.

"Is this true?! But, we don't even have a certificate ..." An Yue was so excited that she turned red. His eyes twinkled as he looked at Zhao Youlin.

Zhao Youlin laughed out loud and said, “Certificate is just a convenient paper to market your abilities. Since you guys are really capable, it doesn't matter if you have them. Besides, I am not the type of person who is fixated on such things. In fact, I find those who lay their foundations step by step and thrive in practice are more beneficial compared to pseudo-chefs who have gone through formal training just for the sake of getting a certificate. In the end, it was just empty cans.”

"Yes!" “Now, let's talk about his treatment. We'll start with your salary. Each of you will receive four thousand five hundred at the beginning of the month. Of course, if you do well in the future, your salary will increase. Are you guys okay with this?”

Right after Zhao Youlin spoke, the two brothers were delighted once again. At first, they thought they had no certificate and were young. So, even if accepted, they will only be paid about two thousand a month, which is about enough to support themselves. Little did they expect Zhao Youlin to offer them four thousand five hundred without hesitation, which more than doubled their expectations in an instant.

When Zhao Youlin saw the two of them nod, she continued, “Next, we will talk about office hours. I plan to recruit more staff in the near future. There will be two shifts. The morning shift will start from half seven in the morning to three in the afternoon. The night shift will start from three in the afternoon to half in the evening. I'll give you a schedule by then. When can you start working?”

"When!" An Qi exclaimed happily. Immediately after, he seemed to realize something, and he said with a hint of embarrassment, "Sister Zhao, are you offering accommodation as well?"

“Um... Decent accommodation.”

Zhao Youlin noticed their troubled expression. He thought about it and said, "If you want, you can stay on the half floor above the outlet, but ..."

"But what?"

“Maybe a bit crowded.”

"It's okay. We have squeezed ourselves in the same bed at the inn as well.”

When Zhao Youlin heard An Qi say so, she was once again convinced that the two girls must have experienced some difficulty before this. “Alright, you can move if you have time. In any case, it will be more convenient to keep an eye on the outlet in the future.”

"Yes!"

Zhao Youlin finally had someone to bake a cake with. He breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood. So, he joked with his brothers, “Now, can you answer my question now? Are there any more cookies? I want to bring some back for my son when I get home later. I'm sure he'll really like them.”

"Yes, of course!"

In the end, Zhao Youlin brought the boxes of cookies and went home. As soon as he entered through the front door of the Zhao family, his son ran towards him like a small cannonball and lunged at him. He clung to his thigh and said, "Mom, mother, you're finally back!"

“Mhm... Joy, did you obey Grandpa and Grandma while at home?” Zhao Youlin asked in a low voice while hugging the overly spoiled active child.

"Yes I did!" Joy lifted her head and shouted, “I behaved well today and obeyed Grandma's words. I play games, stack blocks, and watch good cartoons with him.”

Zhao Youlin glanced at Joy's cute look as she tilted her head and missed her praise. She couldn't help but give him a kiss and said, “So, you've done a lot with Grandma today. Good boy, Joy.”

“Mm-hm!” Joy explodes in excitement when she hears a desired compliment. .

While the mother and son pair were talking to each other, someone not far from them gradually approached them and said softly, "You're back."

Although it was a simple greeting, Zhao Youlin felt a warmth in her heart.

Before Zhao Youlin responded to Duan Yarong, Joy, who was clinging to her thigh, sniffed and peeked into her other hand. He instinctively muttered, "Mom, I smell the smell of cake from you."

Zhao Youlin froze. He didn't know if he should laugh or cry. Then, he reached out and pinched Joy's little nose and said, "You little glutton, you can still kiss her even though I hid it from you."

Right after Joy heard Zhao Youlin's words, she immediately reacted to her words and knew that she was actually bringing home the cake. His eyes twinkled and clung tightly to Zhao Youlin. He stretched out his hand and shouted, "Mom, cake ..."
