As an old resident of Fore City, Gustav grew up whilst looking up to those people in the Sea Anemone District.
Just like many others, he also dread of owning a property inside the said district so day. Others would even lower their standards and just dream of just entering the district to broaden their horizon.
However, just like many others, this dream could only remain as a dream.
Right now, Gustav was riding in the sedan that was approaching the district's gate.
As the gate widened on his vision, he could not help but feel nervous.
After all, according to what he heard, the security of such a place was said to be extrely rigorous. Even paparazzis that were experts in stalking could barely enter inside to stalk the celebrities they had their eyes on.
However, when the sedan approached the gate, Gustav could not help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
It was because not only were they not stopped, the security guards on duty even saluted their sedan as if it was the president who was riding the vehicle.
Seeing such a scene, Gustav's doubts and worries imdiately shattered like smoke.
At the sa ti, a system prompt flashed in front of Roland's eyes.
It was fortunate that the system's interface was transparent and it would not affect Roland's vision, or else, he would surely panic a little due to a sudden loss in vision.
Ding!
[You have successfully face-slapped a person: 10 FS Points]
[You have successfully face-slapped a person with two witnesses: 10 FS Points]
Ding!
…
The system prompt repeated twice, aning that he successfully face-slapped two persons at the sa ti right now. He looked over the mirror and saw Auntie Estela and Gustav's unnatural expressions. Roland imdiately realized where the two prompts ca from.
Roland smiled with relish for gaining 40 Face-Slapping Points all of a sudden.
He continued to drive as they finally arrived at the Pure Dew Villa a few minutes later.
As usual, the villa was well-lit with dozens of lights set up in every corner of the villa.
As they approached, the gate of the villa opened on its own, earning the awe from both Estela and Gustav.
Right now, the two of them were already convinced that what Roland had promised was truly the real deal.
At this ti, they only wanted to cherish this given opportunity while still being inside this luxurious district that they could only see on the news previously.
Upon seeing the huge villa, Gustav imdiately gulped a mouthful of saliva in awe. Although Auntie Estela's reaction was not as strong as Gustav, she was also very surprised at the grandiose of the villa.
When the sedan stopped right in front of the villa, three maids even went forward to open the door for the two of them.
As they both disembarked from the car, Roland also went over to open the door for Stacey.
Both Gustav and Estela looked up at the magnificent villa. Even though it was not as tall as the other buildings in the city, the two of them thought that this should be the most magnificent of all of them.
Seeing the maids greeting Roland respectfully, the two of them got even more convinced.
'It looks like this kid truly encountered a good person,' Gustav could not help but thought.
Anyways, after admiring the villa for a while, Roland brought the two of them directly to the huge dining table.
At the table, the plates and utensils were already prepared.
Roland has already prepared and cooked a whole chicken earlier with the recipe he bought from the System.
He planned to let them taste the chicken so that they could have more confidence about the restaurant.
Including, Gustav, and Estela, Stacey had also not tried his fried chicken recipe yet.
As the three of them took their first bite, their tongue imdiately retracted as it savored the flavor of the chicken. The juices of the fried chicken seeped into their mouth, making them feel as if they were in another dinsion.
Just like the connoisseur Gordon, the three of them sang their praises to the delicious fried chicken. And as the person who cooked it, Roland received all the credits.
Stacey already knew that Roland was a good cook, however, both Gustav and Estela were quite surprised after learning that it was Roland who cooked the fried chicken they ate earlier.
Auntie Estela prided herself for being a good cook, however, she could only admit in Roland's superior cooking.
As they say, the real recognizes another real.
As a cook herself, she imdiately realized the gap between their skills even with just one cooking.
The sa also happened to Gordon before. He imdiately felt that Roland was superior to him in terms of cooking the mont he took the first bite off that fried chicken from before.
And now that they have already tasted the primary product of the restaurant, they beca more confident about its future success.
Mark Jonald restaurant? Gustav knew that with the right decisions and marketing, the Sparkling Buds which Roland built would imdiately surpass the forr by a large margin.
As the assistant manager of such a store, Gustav was quite pleased.
Yes, he has already decided to resign first thing in the morning. This was the change that he has been longing for, of course he would cherish it.
As for Auntie Estela, she thanked Roland and Stacey's kindness over and over again for giving her the opportunity to beco the head cook of the restaurant.
After eating, they imdiately discussed official matters.
Butler Frank took over and explained the various details. He also took the contract and let Stacey and the others sign it as new official workers of the Sparking Bud's restaurant.
The employee benefits were quite a lot. It shows Roland's magnanimity towards his employees. Even Butler Frank thought that it was quite ridiculous, his guess of Roland coming from an ancient family beca even more firm.
As per the contract, Stacey would receive 1000 Global Dollar's per month salary as the Sparking Bud's first ever manager. Gustav would receive 500, while Estela, the head cook, would earn slightly less, with 450 Global Dollar's every month.
Estela cried even further after she signed the contract as 450 Global Dollar's a month was already considered very plenty.
And although Gustav did not show it on his face, he was actually very happy inside. His mind began to wander as he began to imagine what kind of house he should buy for his mother and daughter pair.
As for the other workers of the restaurant, the lowest would receive 250 Global Dollars and it would increase depending on their performance and current rank amongst the employees.
In a sense, a normal worker's salary in the Sparking Buds was already a manager level salary for other fast food restaurants like Mark Jonald's.
In fact, Gustav felt slightly ashad for being a manager of Mark Jonald's branch right now.
The difference in treatnt was like heaven and earth. He could only wish that this kind of treatnt would continue in the future.
After so discussions, Roland told them that they would officially start their training tomorrow.
They decided that Gustav and Stacey would train together with the other workers so that they could familiarize themselves with the procedures for the restaurant, at the sa ti, they also began planning about their marketing ideas to make the restaurant known to others.
As for Estela, Roland lets her train with Gordon until the restaurant officially opens.
As for the chicken recipe, Roland has already asked the system about it.
This ti, it replied that he could indeed share all the items and knowledge he obtained from it to the public.
However, the System warned him that he should be mindful of his own actions and that he should bear responsibility for what's to co.
In a sense, he could share the recipe to others but if for so reason it got leaked to another person without his consent, Roland should take action imdiately to prevent it from being spread even further.
Currently, he was only trying to share a level 1 recipe, and the System has already warned him about it.
In the end, Roland still decided to share the recipe to both Gordon and Estela. He also warned them not to tell it to others or else they will face the consequences.
Although Roland was not a brute, he does not mind becoming one if the ti calls it.
After this matter was settled, the grand revenge has finally set in motion.
Roland looked forward to the day where Anna and Bryan would be left with nothing but clothes on them.
Anyways, it was only three hours later that their first eting ended.
Roland and Stacey sent Gustav to the apartnt he was renting and Auntie Estela straight to her new ho that they found yesterday.
Roland then brought Stacey to her house before Roland called Janine to fetch him.
Tomorrow would be a busy day for each and everyone of them, they needed enough sleep.
And just like that, another day passed in the blink of an eye.
Unknowingly, it has already been three days since the last settlent rewards.
Roland laid on his king size bed as he waited for the three day settlent's arrival.
Due to his performance during these past few days, Roland looked forward to this day's settlent reward.
As he waited, drowsiness slowly took over his eyes as his eyelids started to close little by little.
Just as his mind was about to drift asleep, Roland finally heard the much anticipated 'ding' sound.
Ding!
[Detected that the Host is about to sleep. Calculating the settlent rewards for the past three days…]
