The Villainess Enjoys Her Seventh Life as a Free-Spirited Bride (hostage) in a Former Enemy Country

That instant, his eyes widened.

Rishe continued, “The people who live in the favelas aren’t likely to be ‘customers’ for most merchants. After all, they are just trying to make ends meet on a daily basis.”

Elise told her just the other day.

There were days when they couldn’t afford to buy extra food and couldn’t even afford a satisfying meal.

There were times in her past life when Rishe also had trouble with food until she got her work back on track.

“But think about it. What would happen to the market if they were given jobs and enough income to live on without fear of tomorrow?”

“It…”

“People who weren’t customers before become customers once they get a job. As the number of customers increases, the merchant’s sales will increase. This cycle will eventually lead to the Trading Company hitting the jackpot.”

Rishe smiled as she drew circles with her index finger.

“All the products of Aria Trading Company are impressive. Once we get more customers in the market, it will be the company that will make the most money.”

“Ha…”

In a flash.

Tully, who had been listening to the conversation with cold eyes, burst into a boisterous belly laugh.

“Haha, hahahahaha!　I like it, I love it!　So what you’re saying is, don’t choose your customers, grow them into customers!”

“There might be few at first, but as the business expands, the number of people, who can get out of poverty will soar.”

“By doing so, the tax revenue of Garkhain will also increase. So this is a win-win situation for the future Crown Princess, isn’t it?”

It sounded too blunt, but generally speaking, he was right.

As a merchant, Rishe was initially trying to meet Tully’s challenges.

She hoped to be able to propose a business that would be profitable and cut back on the losses.

However, when she learned of the measures Arnold had imposed, she was at a loss about the policy.

It wasn’t until she heard Elise’s thoughts that she was convinced.

Undoubtedly, Rishe should do business not as a merchant, but as the Crown Princess.

Something that would bring profit and prosperity to the nation and wealth to the people.

This wealth wasn’t only the ability to eat without worries, but also the hope that one could live without giving up one’s dreams and aspirations.

“I don’t think it’s the right answer. Nevertheless, it’s one of the few means I can offer you at the moment.”

“No, not bad, huh? It’s like you could see right through my thoughts and beliefs. It was pretty fun.”

Tully looked terribly happy, a change from the bored look on his face from earlier.

“But Lady Rishe, you’re still immature.”

She remembered that smile.

It was the smile Tully showed every time his subordinate, Rishe, failed in her merchant life.

“Didn’t I say before? Your behavior is too earnest to deal with a mere merchant. People like that are looked down upon, seen through, and used.”

“Thank you for your advice.”

“I don’t know why, but I think you want my company so badly. I’m starting to plot to exploit that obsession and squeeze it out to the last minute.”

[The Chairman’s character defect turned up], the executives seemed to be saying with dumbfounded looks on their faces. Of course, Rishe, inwardly, was thinking the same thing.

“Hey, Chairman, that’s the Crown Princess you’re talking to, please restrain yourself.”

“Now what? There’s roughly over a hundred percent of difficulty in your proposal. If I reject it, you’ll have to come up with another idea. Maybe we’ll have something even tastier to talk about…”

“…”

Rishe meditated slowly.

“I don’t expect you to approve of my business dealings with you with open arms.”

“Great. I’m glad you know me so well for a guy you’ve only met a few times.”

“I wouldn’t have really wanted to use this hand if I could…”

She sighed and held out the last document.

“Oopsy, I wonder what’s going to pop up next, what…”

At that moment, the color of Tully’s eyes changed at once.

“This is…”

“Chairman? What’s wrong?”

Unease and agitation was palpable on his face.

Tully, who had always been collected from the beginning, spoke in a panic.

“Lady Rishe, how did you know about this?”
