Face-Slapping System

Hearing Roland's question, a look of embarrassment flashed across Stacey's face.

She immediately explained what happened.

It turns out that the student she met earlier had brought a company over. She brought her boyfriend along as she was afraid and nervous about the meeting with Stacey. The boyfriend was very supportive and he basically handled everything for her.

They were also very sweet and Stacey resonated with them. After that, Roland's figure would always appear on her mind as she became more and more eager to hug him. Hence, when she saw Roland enter the room, she could no longer take it as her emotion erupted without a warning.

Hearing that, Roland could only smile. He patted her head sweetly and assured her that he would always be there for her no matter what.

Hearing that, Stacey became aroused once more so they started the second round of battle immediately.

It was only after they had done the deed that Stacey finally informed him of what happened during the entirety of the meeting.

As Stacey had previously stated, this meeting was part of the marketing strategy that she was brewing.

This day and age was the age of the internet. Almost all of the people around the world have their own phone or gadgets that they can access online.

Dissbook was spread widely and it has a wide user base that was scattered around the world.

This marketing strategy was actually not new. Others had already implemented it before. There were successes, and there were failures. Stacey, however, doesn't plan to fail.

The student and the first commenter were only beginning. Her plan was grand and has even included Roland's future plan and their development direction in the business world.

With Roland's full support, she was confident of implementing this strategy that would benefit the company as a whole.

Now, there were only two people she contacted. It was the student who made the viral post and the student who made the first comment.

They will act as Sparkling Buds hidden ambassador.

The plan was actually very simple.

All the two needed to do was to continue posting and showcasing the Sparkling Buds online with their honest opinion.

At this moment, the two of them have already garnered enough attention and have already gained a lot of followings.

The popularity of Sparkling Buds as well as the honest opinion of the two of them combined to a magnificent explosion of attention.

The hype was real and it was still exploding online.

The critics were slowly shut down by the support of those who tasted the 'Fried Chicken of Heaven' for themselves.

At this moment, the Sparkling Buds popularity was at its peak in Fore City. Almost all of the people had already heard of the newly established fast-food restaurant with godly fried chicken servings.

However, this was only in Fore City, for now. But with the help of online promotion and online hype, neighboring cities would immediately notice the existence of Sparkling Buds.

When the time comes, if Sparkling Buds tried to set-up branches in the future, they would already have a brand name that people were familiar with or at least have heard of from the internet.

This was the effect that Stacey wanted to maintain.

Now, the two students were only the start. Stacey planned on searching for vloggers slowly and let them 'promote' Sparkling Buds in their own ways.

On the other hand, the two students had basically accepted the terms and conditions that Stacey had set.

Stacey offered them 250 Global Dollars per month of wage as long as they publish or post about Sparkling Buds at least three times during that same month. If their post gains attention, then they would get a bonus from Stacey.

To be honest, this kind of wage was already quite big for a student. Even the first commenter did not earn as much as a slightly popular vlogger.

One must know that Gustav's salary in Mark Jonalds as a manager was only 250 Global Dollars. In a sense, it could be said that the two students had gained a managerial level salary with little to no work. They loved the Fried Chicken of Heaven anyways so creating content based on it should not be a problem for them.

The two accepted the terms gladly and stated that they would begin as soon as possible.

Roland praised Stacey for her ideas. Roland had just recently come into contact with the business world so he was still lacking in a lot of areas. Stacey had basically fulfilled all his shortcomings and he was very grateful to Stacey for that.

…

Meanwhile, a few blocks away from Sparkling Buds.

At Mark Jonalds near the mall.

The crew and the newly hired manager looked lost and flabbergasted.

Unlike before, Mark Jonalds has become more and more deserted. The average daily sales were getting lower and lower and there was nothing they could do about it.

Sparkling Buds were tastier and cheaper compared to their products. The fast food restaurant near the location was the most affected and basically all of them had their sales lowered due to the lack of customers.

The manager had already reported this to Councilor Brown but latter became busy after the cultist' incident. The manager did not know what to do and could only stare blankly at the empty seats.

If he doesn't meet the quota and if the sales do not increase soon, he knew that it would not be long before he would get fired like the previous manager.

He was originally the vice manager but was later promoted to a manager after Gustav left. However, if he did not find a solution, he knew that he would follow Gustav's footsteps sooner or later.

He hated the Sparkling Buds for their untimely appearance. He hated them for establishing a business near the Mark Jonald's branch that he was in.

As his thoughts revolved around getting fired, a look of ferocity suddenly flashed across his face as his gaze turned towards the direction of Sparkling Buds. A moment later, he stood up from his seat and walked towards Sparkling Buds with his phone in hand, calling someone he knew.
