Chapter 10: A Deeper Exchange
The look in Morris’s eyes made Leon a little wary. In this day and age, even men had to watch out for themselves when outside. Still, Leon didn’t really think Morris was some weirdo. That gaze probably meant there was some kind of benefit Morris saw in him.
“As someone who used to be one of us, I’d like to ask you something, Mr. Leon. Do you support Joja Corporation’s proposal to turn the old Community Center into a logistics warehouse? This would strengthen Pelican Town’s logistics system and modernize the place. It’s good for both of us. With better logistics, your farm might gain more sales channels.”
Sure enough, the next moment, Morris laid out his vision directly.
“Sorry, I’m still unfamiliar with this town. For a question like that, I think you should ask the mayor, not a farmer who just arrived.” Leon smiled, choosing to brush it off.
“Well then, would you be interested in learning about our Joja membership program?” Morris looked a little disappointed at the answer, but immediately switched topics.
“No.” Leon rejected without hesitation.
“No need to answer so quickly. Joja will always be here in Pelican Town, providing the best shopping experience for residents. You can think about it when you need it. As a gift for our first meeting, I think you might like this.”
Morris handed Leon a slip of paper.
Leon glanced at it—it was a coupon. Twenty percent off, one-time use.
