Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

Another female classmate nodded in agreement, her voice tinged with worry, and said, "Yes, it doesn't seem to fit our local customs."

“It’s rare to see people dressed like this for work here.”

Another female student looked hesitant and whispered, "My parents would definitely disapprove if they found out I was dressed like this for work."

“They would think this job is undignified.”

Seeing the students' puzzled expressions, Chen Dong cleared his throat and patiently explained, "Everyone, please don't rush, listen to me first."

"The restaurant I'm about to reopen is called Donglai Restaurant. It's a unique restaurant."

"The unique feature is that our younger female waitresses wear maid outfits, which is why it's a maid restaurant."

"In Japan, this is a very popular cultural phenomenon."

"Over there, you can often see maids in cartoons and anime; it's part of the anime culture."

"The maids serve customers with great enthusiasm and professionalism, which is a unique cultural atmosphere that our restaurant wants to create."

After being misled by Chen Dong, the 30 female students, who had no idea what the situation was like in Japan, were convinced that this was really the case.

In fact, the first maid cafe in Japan opened on March 30, 2001, in Akihabara, Tokyo.

It's said to be not a very proper kind of thing.

The first maid cafe didn't open in Japan until 2007.

The 30 female students, along with Guo Miao standing to the side, were all completely bewildered by Chen Dong's novel words.

Everyone's faces were filled with doubt. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Chen Dong continued with a smile, "That's why I can pay my summer part-time workers 70 yuan."

"This salary is considered quite high in our area."

"If you are interested in becoming a full-time employee, the salary can even reach 100 yuan a month."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to wear a maid outfit to serve."

"I know this request may be hard for some people to accept, but this image is closely linked to the characteristics of our restaurant."

Seeing that everyone still looked hesitant, Chen Dong added, "Don't worry, this is a proper maid outfit."

"Its skirt is very wide, but it doesn't feel revealing. You can wear pants underneath, and the hem goes all the way to your ankles, so there's nothing inappropriate about it."

"We focus on a cultural experience, not anything inappropriate."

In other words, it's a case of misrepresentation. The maid cafes you imagine, with their scantily clad women, sweet looks, and even the possibility of physical intimacy, are just what you think.

I didn't learn about kidney deficiency... oh no, I mean, the Empty Prince finding four old scallions is already quite conscientious.

If they look different, then there's nothing we can do; at least they're all girls around 20 years old.

Chen Dong thought to himself with a smirk.

Upon hearing the length of the maid outfit's hem, the 30 female students finally felt a little relieved.

They began to whisper among themselves.

A female classmate, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, whispered, "It sounds alright, and the salary is quite attractive."

"It's just a part-time job for a month anyway. It seems worth it to put up with it for 70 yuan."

Another female classmate nodded in agreement, saying, "Yeah, and it's not like she's wearing anything revealing, so it should be fine, right?"

"I think it's worth a try, just as a special experience."

Another female classmate seemed to have made up her mind and said firmly, "I think it's fine too, since we've already graduated from high school."

"Having a different experience before university starts might add a unique touch to our resume."

After some discussion, everyone nodded and accepted Chen Dong's conditions.

Upon seeing this, Chen Dong smiled with satisfaction, a smile that conveyed the feeling that his plan had been perfectly executed.

Chen Dong smiled and continued, "Our Donglai Hotel has three floors, totaling 360 square meters, which is a fairly large hotel."

"With such a large area, there are enough job opportunities, so there's no need to worry about not having work."

"Moreover, our restaurant is expected to have a considerable number of customers, so everyone will have plenty of things to do."

Then, he looked at Chu Mengran and Yu Qin.

With trust and expectation in his eyes, Chen Dong said, "Meng Ran, Yu Qin, could you please help me record some basic information about the female classmates who are willing to work part-time?"

"Such as name, age, and contact information. This makes it easier for us to contact and manage them later."

After saying that, he raised his voice and said to the whole class, "Everyone, remember this: come over on July 25th for two days of training."

"These two days of training are very important. They will teach you some basic service skills and a simple Japanese polite phrase."

"After all, we are a restaurant with a unique anime/manga culture theme, and we will officially start working on the 27th."

"I hope everyone can attend on time, and let's work together to make Donglai Hotel a success!"

A chorus of agreement rang out in the classroom.

The female students' eyes were filled with anticipation, as if they couldn't wait to start this special part-time job.

Their faces beamed with excitement and anticipation for the future.

Seeing the hopeful looks on the female students' faces, Chen Dong smiled wickedly.

"70 yuan a month seems okay now, but what about the second half of the year and next year?"

"You'll then know what kind of bullshit this 70 yuan is."

As a reborn individual, Chen Dong was acutely aware of the massive inflationary crisis that was about to begin in 93.

From 1950 to 1984, wages rose from the twenties to the eighties.

In 34 years, it has only doubled.

From 1984 to 1994, however, it jumped from 130 to around 360, more than tripling.

Then in 2004, it was around 1300.

92-93, that is, the so-called "windfall" where pigs take off.

In 92, people in first-tier cities could experience this, while in 93, it began to be felt nationwide.

Given the business relationship between Shen Yue and himself, Chen Dong later used his father's bus to take Shen Yue back home and pick up some changes of clothes.

After letting Shen Yue speak a few more words with her parents, Chen Dong took Shen Yue to the staff dormitory of the Hunan restaurant and arranged for her to stay there.

Otherwise, given Shen Yue's rural circumstances, she simply wouldn't be able to find a part-time job for the summer.

Shen Yue's father, Shen Changgui, and mother, Jia Fang, naturally had no objections.

One less person to work means less food to eat, no need to pay college tuition, and some money will be sent back every month.

Especially since he's also hooked up with that rich kid Chen Dong!
