"Is this a dim sum shop?" Ying Meng complained.
"In theory, yes—but, you know, I originally wanted to open a cafe, but because the curry was so delicious, it ended up becoming a curry shop. So, since we have someone here who can help make all-natural skincare and cosmetics, maybe we can expand our business a little bit. After all, even though I'm quite well off now, my main goal is still to make money..."
"But I've been your neighbor for so long, and I've never heard of you expanding your business."
"You're my neighbor, but maybe one day we'll become competitors."
"Do you still want to open a fitness club?"
"Maybe. Besides, they provide nutritious meals and the price is half of yours. Sounds tempting, doesn't it?"
"..." Ying Meng opened her mouth: "In that case, your income..."
"Unlike you, who can only survive on gym memberships and tuition, don't forget that this place was originally a pastry shop, and I'm looking to expand into cosmetics. So—if we're competing against each other, there's no way you can beat me, right?"
"That's too cruel. It's unreasonable to destroy my job for no reason, right?"
"If you can't compete and win, you're not a qualified businessman—and if you can't win in the slums, you might as well not even be human, you know? Even though you've never lived in the slums, you've got a sense of that from the delicate aspects of the people you know, right?"
“…”
"Alright, alright, I was just kidding—I'm certainly shameless, but I wouldn't go so far as to snatch your business, Ying Meng—after all, you're basically a fitness nerd with no other hobbies besides fitness. Survival of the fittest doesn't necessarily mean you have to take away other people's chances of survival. Even if you've lived in the slums and climbed out, it doesn't mean you have to bring that behavior to other places—no, if you've tried hard and still maintain the same situation, then wouldn't all your previous efforts be meaningless?"
The Cheshire Cat retreated to the cabinet that had landed entirely on a flat surface.
"Just like my mother and my father—their efforts didn't improve the situation, but instead made it worse—they had good intentions, but ended up doing something bad—that happens all the time, doesn't it?"
The Cheshire Cat snapped his fingers beside the cabinet and whispered, "Increase the font size—"
All the fonts in the cabinet became larger.
There are various diagrams and letters on it——
The dense text and large font size meant that the article was loose and incomplete. Chu Shangli couldn't see it very clearly, but based on the pictures, it roughly showed the shape of a brain and the codes of various genes.
"Miss Chu Shangli, do you know what these are?"
"Probably..." Chu Shangli paused: "Is it the genetic code?"
"Yes, that's right—the genetic code, and the brain scans. This section over here shows the growth pattern of the fertilized egg—and this section shows the tolerance of different fertilized eggs to various genetic modification drugs—"
The Cheshire Cat said this while pointing his finger in the air.
"Gene therapy technology—if there were only minor flaws in the screening process, it could have avoided inhumane conditions. It was originally developed for this kind of work. However, during its development, a fatal flaw arose—"
The Cheshire Cat laughed and said, "It's not just abnormal genes that can be corrected and transformed into normal ones through treatment; normal genes can also be shaped at will according to a person's wishes. After all, ordinary people don't want to give birth to an abnormal child, so they will definitely accept it. After accepting it, they will face a huge scam."
