*beep*
There is a notification from the system. A new monthly report on Black Bamboo Café is released. To summarize, Black Bamboo Café is losing money this month. Most of the money is used to renovate the first branch.
"Oh, that is right every day in this world is 10 days in mission world. So I will get a monthly report for every 3 days I spent here. Now let's see how much money we make last month."

'Hmm, there is a decline in the earning from the main store. But 45 thousand is still good. Looks like the effect from last month is still here.
'The second store... Well, they are only open for what? 3 days? So it is normal to have a negative cash flow.
'Anyway, we can only evaluate the second branch next month. Good luck Hu Zhishang, my bonus from the system relies on you.'

7 PM, Ken's apartment
After checking the project at Creampuff Game Studio and finding nothing of concern, Ken go back to his house and entered the mission world. He is taking advantage of the slower time in the mission world to devise the plan for Creampuff Game Studio.
'This is sure a cheat... Anyone else only has 24 hours a day, meanwhile, I can have 240 hours a day. And there is no harm to my main body.
'Now let's plan for the administration department. Eh, should I also plan one for Black Bamboo Café?'
Ken then holed in Chen Qiu's room for a few days searching for other people's experiences in this area. He browses the internet, looks at the QnA website, many kinds of forums, and also buys many digital books related to business management.

The more Ken research the more he feels that Creampuff Game Studio still doesn't need to hire new people. As of now, all the administration is done by him and Ella.
All the financial aspect is still tied to Ken as Creampuff Game Studio is a sole proprietor business, owned by Ken Spencer. So any expense used by Creampuff Game Studio is paid by Ken. With this in mind, Ken concluded that he doesn't need an accountant or financial officer yet.
Then, he thinks about the operation officer, but all day-to-day operation on the project is supervised by Ella. And Ella herself said that it is still okay. So an operation officer is also not needed.
Ken also doesn't need a legal officer. As there are not many law-related things in Creampuff Game Studio now, it is not efficient to hire a legal officer. Besides, there are many services out there that offer to help anything regarding law, taxation, and other things related. Those service mentioned is also cheaper than having a legal officer in-house.
The last one is the human resource... Ken also doesn't think this is needed yet. And just like the legal officer, there are services out there that can do HR for some business.
So Ken's choice right now is to wait until it is needed or make it even when it is not needed yet.
Ken thinks that if really wanted to make the administration department now, it is better to hire a fresh graduate and train them.
"The mission has a limit of a year, so there is still time. But..." Ken stopped for a moment, "Yeah, let's go with the second plan. Hiring a fresh graduate and train them."
