Chu Shangli pondered for a moment——
She didn't know whether she should speak out the thoughts that were emerging in her heart -
However, since she entrusted me with the system installation, she must be willing to be honest with me.
There's no point in hiding it here - I'm not the kind of person who would threaten death.
As long as she survived, she would pose no threat to the Cheshire Cat. Without a threat, her fate might be in the hands of the Cheshire Cat.
"Are you planning to use me as a guinea pig?"
"Hmm." The Cheshire Cat answered simply.
Her expression and voice were sincere.
"Don't lie to me." Chu Shangli smiled bitterly.
"There's no point in lying to you, right? After all, you wouldn't commit suicide, and if I lied to you, I might not get what I want. We're in a partnership now. If it's a partnership, there's no need to hurt each other, right? Anyone who hurts their partner won't get far. Although I've been too lazy to show up in front of people other than those I know, I'm very grateful to those who have contributed to my Family—whether it's the marketing and PR I paid for, or the people who have become tap water..."
Chu Shangli tilted his head——
"Does a company this powerful even need marketing? I've never tasted any snacks better than Family's... I kind of understand their PR..."
"Good wine needs no bush, is that what you think—"
"Well—even a small restaurant tucked away in a corner can potentially become popular if it works hard enough, right? Word of mouth used to be more powerful than word of mouth now—so even without marketing, you can still retain customers with your own strength."
The Cheshire Cat slid back a distance on the sliding chair.
"Look at this shop, this is the main store. Everyone says the owner of Family is mysterious, but you can actually see me right here—why don't they come?"
"That's—"
Chu Shangli wanted to say, "Isn't it because the store is too hard to find?", but before he opened his mouth, he realized that it contradicted his previous statement -
“…”
"You figured it out, didn't you? This alley is incredibly difficult to find. If Ying Meng hadn't sent you the location, you'd still be able to fight, but you'd have been scared off by the overly dark road halfway through, even thinking it wasn't a scam or something—that there's another world out there? Is that really how anyone would react first? Even after you found the alley, you headed straight for Ying Meng's club without even noticing the buildings on my side."
Chu Shangli couldn't deny it.
In fact, when I was wandering in that alley, the only thing that impressed me was the chicken wings wrapped in rice covered with sauce - and I didn't seem to deliberately look at what the owner of the shop looked like.
The Cheshire Cat snapped his fingers. "Did you figure it out? If you'd decided from the start to go to a certain store in a remote area, then you wouldn't have the idea of switching to another store if you couldn't find the food here... But if you can't find the milk tea at this store in the city center, you can just go to the next one. Besides, people in the modern empire are very busy. Even if the food is really delicious, it's better to switch to another store than to go to the same remote location every weekend to check in. In terms of overall revenue, this kind of secluded store with private traffic is definitely not as good as the breakfast shop at your doorstep. Even if it's private traffic, it still depends on the overall traffic."
