Chapter 353 - The Best Man (Two)
Hailee pulled out her phone and dialed someone's contact that became dear to her heart.
"Hello, Mrs. Gomez? Yes, it is me, ma'am. Hailee Davies."
From the other line, Mrs. Gomez is still in a trance of surprise. She was currently giving a lecture to her morning class when her phone on the table rang, and she saw the name of the person she never expected to remember calling her.
"Keep it down, everyone!" Mrs. Gomez settled down with her students as they were making a lot of noise after they learned that the person calling her was none other done, Hailee Davies.
After Hailee saved them from being embarrassed by the Alumni during the Class Reunion, she became her favorite student. But she never thought that this girl was actually a super-rich girl that everyone admires.
For a short time, she is proud that Hailee Davies has become one of her students.
There are countless best schools in the world if Hailee Davies wanted to take up Hotel and Restaurant Management, the reason she wondered why Hailee Davies remembered to phone her.
"Hello, Miss Davies! I mean, soon Mrs. Shen… What can I do for you?"
Hailee's heart danced after the instructor addressed her as Mrs. Shen, as it was so pleasant in her ears.
Meanwhile, Vince was a little surprised when the person Hailee meant to ask for help to back them up was the old teacher from his college Alma Mater.
He met Hailee's gaze, and it perplexed him after Hailee smiled gleefully. He tried to guess what brightened her face, and he concluded it must be something Mrs. Gomez had said to her.
'I wonder what it is….' Vince mused inwardly, very curious and wanted to gossip. Later, he plans to ask Hailee.
Hailee spoke on her phone; she could hear the voices of the lively students screaming her name and saying,
"Congratulations, Mrs. Shen!"
"Please invite us to your wedding!"
"I love you, Mrs. Shen!"
"Keep quiet! I can't hear anything, Mrs. Hailee Davies was saying!"
From the other line, Hailee tried not to giggle at how lively the students were. Suddenly, she missed going to N University and attending Mrs. Gomez's classes and even Professor Carl Johnson's class. And to think of that, she was still overwhelmed that Carl was once a Mafia lord.
"Mrs. Gomez, I'm sorry if I interrupted your lecture," she told the instructor, who was still busy calming down her students.
"You don't need to apologize, Mrs. Shen. Wait, I will go out first." Mrs. Gomez got out of the classroom, walked toward the railings, and resumed talking to Hailee. "Mrs. Shen, I am actually honored that you remembered me. Anything I can do for you?"
Even though the instructor would not see her smile, Hailee displayed her delight.
"Of course, ma'am. I will never forget you! Mrs. Gomez, in fact, I am thinking about hiring you for a summer job. I mean, I know you are also giving summer classes, and don't take a break. But I am keen to get your time every summer to train my service crew."
Mrs. Gomez wondered if her ear had defection. Maybe she needs to visit her EENT doctor to check her ears.
"Mrs. Shen, can you repeat what you said? I'm sorry. I think I have hearing problems now."
Hailee didn't suppress her giggles anymore after she heard the outstanding teacher saying that. "Ma'am, you heard it correctly. Could you work for me every summer? I would love to take you full-time to train my hired service crew. But P Country needs you more to teach those wonderful students. Well, teach them what you know and guide them never to stop learning. And then, send your best students to work for me!"
"Oh!" At that moment, Mrs. Gomez understood; she couldn't hold her tears anymore. 'This girl is truly an angel,' she thought.
She always hears from the students how wonderful a person Hailee Davies was. Although she already knew this and believed them. Today, her admiration for Hailee has increased.
"Thank you, Mrs. Shen. How wonderful of you to think of us. I witnessed and handled many students who work hard and come to the university with a goal to reach their dream, no matter how difficult their situation is. However, the opportunity seemed elusive for many. But with your offer, I would love to teach my future students even if it's free!"
"Thank you, ma'am. I know you are also teaching them with all of your heart, and you deserve to be rewarded, actually. I know Vincent agreed with me," said Hailee, winking at Vince. She knew Vince would understand her already.
Honestly, it touched her that the instructor was willing to do free labor to teach the young generation. It is rare to see dedicated educators genuinely helping the students have a successful career in the future.
"Ah, thank you, Mrs. Shen. By the way, this is not the only thing you wanted to speak with me about, right?"
"Yes, ma'am. Actually, Mrs. Gomez... I want to ask for your help. I need a thousand service crew during my wedding day to accommodate the guests in the hotel."
"Oh, my god! What should I do then? Do you want me to go there to assist a guest? But I am old already, and it's not pleasing in the eyes of the guests."
Hailee thinks the instructor was too cute, worrying like that. "Don't worry, ma'am. I was hoping you could introduce me to the best students you have had in the past. I think you still remember them, Mr. Kyle? Can you locate them and send them to me? I mean, if you are not busy, can you handle the hiring procedure? I think they have permanent jobs now, but I really need a thousand well-trained service crew and chefs badly! But they have nothing to worry about, ma'am! All of them will be a priority to have a permanent job in my city once we open to the world."
Mrs. Gomez had rendered speechless, and so Hailee explained further.
She needs hundreds of hotel crew, chefs, managers, housekeeping, waitresses, waiters, including baristas and bartenders! And she should send them within one week! The sooner, the better!
Mrs. Gomez was still in shock after the call. It feels like a dream for her—that she and Hailee just did some business.
The instructor snapped at herself to come back to her senses. Mrs. Gomez dismissed her class. She needs to go through the records for her best students!

"Our problem is solved!" Hailee announced after her long talk with Mrs. Gomez. "We don't have to worry now. We already have five hundred waiting applicants that passed in our recent hiring, and most of them are just from Australia and neighboring countries. Also, P Country has a lot of best workers!"
Hailee looked at Vince when she mentioned the country he came from. She smiled at him and continued. "Now, we have to work with an agency to go through the contract and provide their visa. Mr. Shen can help us speed up things as he is more familiar with how P Country manages their hiring process."
Hailee gives the floor to Vincent to share his knowledge. "Mrs. Gomez needs Lloyd to go through with the contract signing and process their documents."
"I'm on it! Khan Agency is the best agency when it comes to human resources for other countries. Domestically, I have been collaborating with Lloyd's agency when I need service crews in our malls, condos, and restaurants."
"Great! I have the best man here!"
Hailee was overwhelmed by everything that was happening at the moment, and she missed seeing her executives' reactions to what she said. The only employees eager to clap their hands were the secretaries who also attended the conference meeting.
Pitt, who was only observing silently, didn't hide the wide grin on his face. He saw how the men twitched their mouths when Hailee praised another man.
'It looks like we really need that bachelor party for the knights to bond with Vincent and know him well.' Pitt mused these men have to accept that the princess finally chose the best man she can grow old with.
After Hailee discussed their problem with the service crew, she turned her attention to the Interior Designing Department.
Tiffany Lynch, director of Davies' Real Estate Interior Designing Department, gives her report regarding the updates of what work they have finished so far.
"Miss Hailee, we need a lot of manpower to move heavy things. It will be easier for us to finish sooner."
"Hmm… Any suggestions?" Hailee swept her gaze to the table. Everyone fell in deep thought to find a solution but then raised his hand to give his ideas.
"Mr. Shen?"
"I can lend my people, and my engineers can help too. In fact, many of them are working part-time jobs while taking up their courses. They were once baristas, bartenders, waiters aside from working in construction sites."
This time, Hailee didn't hide her affection toward Vincent, and she just suppressed herself not to talk to Vincent coquettishly in front of her knights and employees.
"Thank you, hubby. You are really the best!"
"Of course. It was our wedding, and I have to do something about it, and I can do the work too."
Hailee controls herself not to throw her body at Vince and kiss him. 'Gosh! It was actually dangerous that we were working together!'
Meanwhile, there were a bunch of men drinking vinegar at the moment, seeing this public display of affection.
Hailee's knights rolled their eyes, witnessing this couple being lovey-dovey in front of them. The only man who was about to burst out laughing was Pitt.
He glanced to his side and stared at Bryan, who only remained silent the entire time.
'Poor guy..' Pitt mumbled.
