Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure

Both of the girls once again revealed confused looks when they heard this.

But I wasn't in the mood to explain it to them, so I said, "In short, all you need to know is that this place has a corrupt manager."

Both of them still had looks of doubts, but they nodded in response to this.

I didn't think too much about it either, but Nicole still didn't give up as she said, "Even if it is one corrupt manager, that doesn't mean that we can't take advantage of this. It's a large discount that we shouldn't give up. They are a large company, they won't do anything that will ruin their reputation."

I once again shook my head after hearing this and said, "Let me tell you an idiom from my hometown. When you see one cockroach, you can be sure that there are thirty more hiding away."

Both of them once again revealed confused looks. They didn't seem to understand where I was going with this idiom.

I couldn't help revealing a smile when I saw the cute way that the two of them looked at me with confused looks before saying, "It means that if there's one bad apple, you can be sure that there are more in the bunch. If someone as high as the manager of this main store is corrupt, then you can be sure that there are other corrupt people in this company."

Seeing that Nicole was about to say something else, I cut her off and said, "Even if we are lucky enough to get someone who will act properly, there's plenty of corruption in this company. There's still the chance that we will be affected by this and we can't afford any delays right now."

The looks on their faces made it clear that they weren't fully convinced by what I said. They understood where I was coming from, but they still thought that it was worth taking this risk.

But I was the baron and since I had made my decision, there wasn't anything that they could do about it.

I also knew where they were coming from, but I had my experience with this kind of thing in my previous world.

So we moved on to the next destination.

Once again, we stopped in another alley.

When we came out of the alley, we blended into the crowd and made our way over to a building.

This building wasn't as big as the one that we were in before, but it certainly wasn't a small building either. This building was the storefront of the second largest company in the city.

It wasn't as crowded as the largest company and the layout was different.

One could really see the difference between the top and the second best company by the products that they offered.

While they still had plenty of products that were considered rare, they weren't as rare as the ones that were at the biggest company.

At the same time, they didn't have the same variety of goods as the biggest company, so they didn't have as many counters as they did.

With less counters though, it did give a sort of more intimate feel to this store.

But I was still able to find problems with this place quite quickly.

The problem with this place was the attitude that the staff had.

Even though they weren't the biggest company, they had an attitude like they were the biggest company. They didn't treat the customers with respect and when customers complained, they didn't take the complaints seriously.

It was clear that this place had the opposite problem of the biggest company.

Instead of the ones at the top being rampant, it was the ones at the bottom that were rampant.

If it wasn't for the resources that they had as the second largest company, it was very likely that their entire operation would have collapsed. They didn't have anything to fall back on other than the resources that they had already accumulated in previous generations.

In fact, from what I could hear from the mutters of the customers, I understood that this place wasn't always like this.

It had only started going downhill like this after the new owner took over.

After the previous owner, the father of the new owner died and the new owner took over, everything had changed.

There were many of the old staff that were replaced with these new staff members who were apparently friends of the new owner. But in reality, these were thugs that had been hired by the new owner since they were friends.

This place was being run by very under qualified staff.

This time, I didn't even need to say anything. Both Nicole and Jessice were displeased with the attitude that these staff members had and decided against doing business here.

That was fine with me since I had already made up my mind to leave.

But as we were leaving, I couldn't help feeling anxious.

We had gone to both the biggest and the second biggest companies and found problems with them. While there were still other big companies that we could cooperate with, there were only so many of them in this city.

With the precedent that these two have set, it was likely that the rest of the companies would also have problems like this.

But that couldn't be blamed on anyone since large organizations like this would always have oversight…

The problem was that if they were all like this, then I would have no choice but to choose from one that had a problem. If I had to choose from one that had a problem, it was very likely that we would face a delay when it came to the delivery of the food and supplies.

Even a short delay could mean the deaths of people.

This was not something that could be taken lightly and that was why I was worried.

But in the end, I shook these thoughts out of mind and decided to deal with them when they came.

For now, I would have hope that the other companies were better.
