Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 446 A Heroine Among Women!

A short while later, Kitahara Natsuhiro, Sonoko, Ran, and their group entered the Twin Towers skyscraper together with Sawaguchi Chinami, the secretary of the Tokiwa Zaibatsu.

Upon entering the lobby, they saw some of the group's staff and a group of renovation workers.

Upon seeing this, the crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves: "Are there still areas that haven't been finished?"

"That can't be right. Isn't the banquet about to start? It can't be that it's not finished yet, can it?"

At this moment, Secretary Chinami Sawaguchi smiled and said, "We're already finishing up. Only the lobby is left. All the other floors are complete."

"Next, we need to set up the banquet hall."

Upon hearing this, everyone responded, "Oh, I see."

Then, led by Chinami Sawaguchi, they arrived at an elevator.

Once there, she began to explain: "This is a VIP elevator. Employees are not allowed to use this elevator; they use the one next to it."

"Wow, it's a VIP elevator! I wonder if it's any different from the other elevators?" Yuan Tai said with great interest.

Since it's an elevator used by VIPs, it must be different from other elevators.

He was already looking forward to it.

Of course, what he was most looking forward to today was lunch, hoping to have eel rice.

He absolutely loves eel rice.

“I don’t think there’s any difference!” Mitsuhiko said. “It’s just a symbol of status.”

Chinami Sawaguchi, who was standing to the side, didn't say anything, but just smiled slightly.

There isn't much difference, except that the space is slightly larger and it's the same as a regular elevator.

Ding Dong
At that moment, the VIP elevator arrived.

Chinami Sawaguchi waited at the door, placing her hand next to the open elevator doors to let Kitahara Natsuhiro and the others enter at once.

However, after the children and girls went inside, when it was Professor Agasa's turn, the elevator suddenly made a noise.

At that moment, everyone in the elevator looked at the elevator, and Genta was somewhat panicked.

"What's wrong? Could there be something wrong with this elevator?"

Upon hearing this, Chinami Sawaguchi immediately explained, "No, it's not that, it's just that it exceeded the weight limit."

Kitahara Natsuhiro's group consisted of more than a dozen people, including adults and children, so it was practically impossible for them all to sit down.

“Let’s take the bus over there!” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “Akiko, you take the children and Ran and the others up there. We’ll be there shortly.”

Akiko Yonehara, Sonoko, and the others went up, leaving only Natsuhiro Kitahara, Kogoro Mouri, Tooru Amuro, and Professor Agasa.

"I'm sorry, I'll take them up and then come down to pick you up," Chinami Sawaguchi said with a bow.

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

"This is what I should do."

Soon, Chinami Sawaguchi went up with the children and women.

At this moment, Professor Agasa asked, "Why don't we go up there on our own?"

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru said, "Judging from Ms. Sawaguchi Chinami's demeanor, if she doesn't bring all the guests up and instead lets them go up on their own, she might get scolded!"

"Well, we have Sonoko, the daughter of a wealthy family, in our group. The Tokiwa Zaibatsu can't afford to offend us. Besides, we were invited by Sonoko, so naturally they have to treat us seriously."

"The salary may not be as good as the one at the garden, but it's still quite high."

As the "King of Wage Earners," he had seen it all and was also a member of the Japanese Public Security Bureau, so he knew a lot about the affairs of these upper-class people.

He even knew some dirty secrets about the chaebols.

However, he kept all these damaging stories to himself and did not release them.

Because these scandals can be very useful in certain situations, and moreover, these scandals belong to conglomerates, so even if you want to expose them, you need to be mindful of the other party.

If you can't kill your opponent in one hit, you're likely to face retaliation.

This kind of retaliation is not something that even the Japanese police can easily withstand.

"Oh, I see." Dr. Agasa suddenly realized.

Although he is a wealthy man, there are some things he has never encountered before.

"Drink, let's keep drinking!"

Just then, Kogoro Mouri, whom Amuro Tooru was supporting, suddenly shouted something, then slumped back onto his shoulder and fell asleep again.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri like this, Tooru Amuro sighed helplessly, "I really didn't expect Mr. Mouri to be drunk and asleep here!"

If Kogoro Mouri hadn't been leaning on him, he wouldn't have said anything.

However, Kogoro Mouri leaned heavily against him, and he smelled strongly of alcohol.

It is well known that unconscious people feel heavy when they are picked up by others, because when a person is sober, they can coordinate themselves, but when a person is drunk, they cannot.

As for why it wasn't Kitahara Natsuhiro and Professor Agasa supporting him?

Of course, it's because Professor Agasa is an old man, while Kitahara Natsuhiro is the boss.

So we had no choice but to let him come by himself.

It's outrageous that we have to work even in such a luxurious place; it's truly heartbreaking.

Once Kogoro Mouri wakes up, I'm going to make him pay!

Kitahara Natsuhiro laughed and comforted him, "But Mr. Mori won't act crazy when he's drunk, does that make you feel a little better?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru's lips twitched, and he said with a helpless expression, "Although, this is indeed good news."

Okay, it's good news that he didn't go on a drunken rampage.

Of course, he wasn't afraid even if Kogoro Mouri really got drunk and went crazy. A tap on his neck would give him a baby-like sleep, ensuring he slept soundly until dawn.

However, that means Kogoro Mouri is either sleeping or on his way to sleeping right now.

After all, Conan would give Kogoro Mouri a shot every now and then, and after he took a nap, he would take another nap at night.

It has to be said that Kogoro Mouri's sleep quality is really good; he can really sleep a lot.

For the average person, intense sleep might lead to insomnia.

Because I slept well, I don't feel sleepy at all!

“Right!” Kitahara Natsuhiro said.

"By the way, would you like to listen to my riddle?"

Suddenly, Professor Agasa raised his hand, having come up with an idea.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru immediately refused.

"Let's wait until the banquet officially begins before discussing your riddle, Doctor." "No rush!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru spoke together.

Hearing this, Professor Agasa slumped his eyes and leaned closer: "Do you think my riddles are too boring? That's why you don't want to listen?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We just want more people to hear your riddles!"

There was no way around it; they had really heard countless of Dr. Agasa's corny jokes and riddles.

Because they lived very close by, Professor Agasa would come to Kitahara Natsuhiro's restaurant for dinner every few days, and most of the time it was after 2 o'clock.

Because Professor Agasa is a scientist, he stays up late or all night every night, so he usually sleeps until the afternoon.

In the afternoon, he didn't feel like cooking anymore, so he simply went out to eat.

Therefore, Kitahara Natsuhiro, along with the store's employees and customers, were quite fortunate to hear Professor Agasa's corny jokes and riddles.

And this joke is so lame that after hearing his riddle, you won't need to turn on the air conditioner in the middle of summer, and it will still be just as cold in the middle of winter even with the air conditioner on.

Therefore, it's natural that more people should hear these corny jokes from Ke Xue, and it's most appropriate to tell them at a banquet.

Let these high-society people experience the power of Dr. Agasa's dry humor!
"Hmph, so cunning!" Dr. Agasa remarked.

"Hahaha"

Kitahara Natsumi and Amuro Tooru laughed in unison. Being sly is better than being frozen by lame jokes alone.

Ding Dong
At that moment, the elevator arrived at the first floor, and the door immediately opened.

At that moment, Secretary Sawaguchi Chinami stood in the elevator, stepped forward to the door, bowed and said, "I'm sorry I'm late."

"Now I'll take you to the restaurant; the president is already there."

Because of Sonoko, Tokiwa Mio was already there and personally greeted Suzuki Sonoko.

This demonstrates the terrifying power of the Suzuki conglomerate.

"it is good."

Kitahara Natsuyu and the other two nodded and followed Sawaguchi Chinami into the elevator.

Soon, the elevator doors closed.

“By the way, Mr. Mori,” Chinami Sawaguchi said, “the chairman said that we can book a guest room for Mr. Mori to stay for a while.”

"However, we are not officially open to the public yet, so please do not tell anyone about this."

After she went up, she reported on Kogoro Mouri's situation.

Upon learning of this, Tokiwa Mio raised an eyebrow and, after glancing at Sonoko, immediately decided to book a guest room for Mouri Kogoro to stay in.

She also didn't expect that Kogoro Mouri's daughter and Sonoko were best friends.

Given this relationship, she had no other choice but to do this, as she had to consider Sonoko's feelings.

However, she now regrets whether inviting Kogoro Mouri was a mistake.

Because this guy got drunk like this in broad daylight.

He didn't seem like this kind of alcoholic before.
Because she was a junior student, Tokiwa Mio knew a little about Mouri Kogoro, otherwise she wouldn't have invited him over.

Of course, the biggest reason for inviting Kogoro Mouri is that he is now a famous detective and knows many company presidents, so he is valuable!
Otherwise, she wouldn't have invited a senior she wasn't particularly close to.

Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Don't worry, we will absolutely not tell anyone, and we will also remind Mr. Mori when he wakes up."

"but."

"Mr. Kitahara, is there a problem?" Chinami Sawaguchi asked.

Kitahara Natsuhiro continued, "Because Mr. Mori likes to drink, and he might talk nonsense when he's drunk, there are some things that need to be said to his face. Also, we need to tell him that if he checks in here in advance, he needs to sign a contract, and if he breaches the contract, he will have to pay ten million yen in compensation. Then he will keep quiet!"

"Ah, this..." Chinami Sawaguchi hesitated.

"You can't go wrong by listening to us. Besides, Mr. Mori's daughter is right here. Just talk to her later, and she'll definitely be all for it. There won't even be a problem with signing the contract!"

That's right, Ran doesn't really like Kogoro Mouri drinking, especially so much.

After all, he's getting on in years, and drinking too much isn't good for his health.

Besides, Kogoro Mouri did cause trouble for the other party, so it's only right that he learns a lesson!

“Um,” Chinami Sawaguchi said, “Let’s go to the guest room first, and then I’ll talk to the president. I can’t decide this.”

Although she was Tokiwa Mio's secretary, she didn't have much power, especially when it came to matters concerning the Twin Towers skyscraper, which she had no way of making decisions about.

One wrong move and you could lose your job.

Moreover, to some extent, the president of a conglomerate is like an emperor, and she is now walking on thin ice, so she has to be very careful.

“Okay, let’s go to the guest room first, and then we’ll talk to President Tokiwa.”

"Yes."

soon
The elevator stopped and opened, and then Sawaguchi Chinami led Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group to the hotel room. After letting Mouri Kogoro settle in, she took the elevator again and went to the restaurant.

At this time, Akiko Yonehara and the others were all at the restaurant with Mio Tokiwa.

When Kitahara Natsuhiro, Amuro Tooru, and Professor Agasa arrived, Tokiwa Mio stood up, walked towards them, nodded slightly, and extended her palm, saying, "Hello, I am Tokiwa Mio."

Kitahara Natsuhiro, Amuro Tooru, and Professor Agasa shook hands with Tokiwa Mio and said hello.

Then, the three of them were led to the restaurant by Mio Tokiwa and sat down.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of Sonoko's power, she actually got the president to personally greet them. She really has a lot of face!" Kitahara Natsuyu thought to himself. "Moreover, her short hair suits her appearance quite well, making her look quite heroic. She looks like a heroine."

Mio Tokiwa was indeed a remarkable woman; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to develop and expand the Tokiwa Zaibatsu to such an extent, and even build this twin-tower skyscraper.

"Hey, what do you think of this club president?"

At that moment, Akiko Yonehara, who was sitting next to Natsuhiro Kitahara, nudged him with her elbow and whispered something.

Meanwhile, Tokiwa Mio was talking to her secretary and wasn't there.

"What do you mean, how?" Kitahara Natsuyu rolled his eyes at her: "Stop thinking about useless things all day long."

What dishes should we eat?

Hearing this, Yonehara Koko said: "French food."

French cuisine.

Just then, Tokiwa Mio walked over and told Kitahara Natsuhiro what he had just said.

This matter was agreed upon by Sonoko, Ran, and everyone else.

There was no other way; Kogoro Mouri and the others were just too familiar with it. This was the only way to avoid any problems!
He likes drinking, and he likes money!

He would never do anything that would lose money!
