Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 534

Beikacho, Kitahara Chinese Restaurant.

Ai, Kitahara Natsuhiro, and Conan returned to the restaurant together and went straight inside, including Conan.

Upon entering the restaurant, it was filled with customers, and all the tables were already occupied.

At this moment, Enomoto Azusa and Miyano Akemi were busy, while Ran and Sonoko hadn't finished school yet and weren't in the store, so the two of them were extremely busy.

When they saw Kitahara Natsumi, Ai, and Conan enter, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because reinforcements had arrived.

"Conan, this is troublesome." Kitahara Natsumi squatted down, looked at Conan, and then took out some change from his pocket.

The change was scattered, mostly coins, and I roughly estimated it to be around 1,000 yen.

And that's Conan's pay for today's work.

However, based on the normal hourly wage in Tokyo, the hourly wage has already reached nine hundred or even one thousand.

Conan would need to work here for about two to three hours before he could leave, but he would only receive a small amount of pocket money from Kitahara Natsuhiro.

In terms of pay, Conan's hourly wage is only around 300, or even less than 300.

However, this can't really be considered a job for Conan, and it doesn't matter whether it's an hourly wage or not. He's just helping out here, and this is just pocket money given to him by Kitahara Natsuhiro.

Yes, it was something Yukiko instructed me to do.

After all, kids need some pocket money, to treat others to food or something.

Besides, Conan is too mischievous. We can't give him too much money, otherwise he'll squander it and we don't know where it will end up.

If it's a girl, then you can give her a little more, so she won't be tricked out of her by the blond guy's small favors.

"This is far too little," Conan said, looking at the few scattered coins in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu grabbed Conan's hand and said, "If you don't want it, give it to me, and you're going to help out here!"

"No, you're just stingy. You won't spend a single penny."

Kitahara Natsuyu chuckled and said, "If you spend money, you'll end up hiring child laborers. You're helping out here for free, so don't be ungrateful for the pocket money we're giving you."

"Heh, so stingy!"

Conan muttered a complaint, then pulled his hand back from Kitahara Natsuhiro's large hand and put the change in his pocket.

Money is necessary, of course, but work still needs to be done.

He planned to use the money he earned to buy some gifts for Xiaolan and his mother to thank them for taking care of him.

However, it will take a long time to save up, because the things he needs to buy are really not cheap.

But it's not a big problem; he has plenty of time now.

"That's good, get back to work!"

"Okay, you stingy guy!" Conan made a face, then tied on his special apron and ran off to help.

Kitahara Natsuhiro also came to the kitchen and started flipping the wok.

Ai also joined in helping, but she received no pocket money or wages.

"Oh, Conan, you're such a good boy! You're so young and you're already helping adults with chores. You'll definitely be a good man in the future!" An elderly customer said with a smile as he watched Conan serving dishes and clearing plates.

Upon hearing this, Conan smiled sweetly, scratched the back of his head, and said it was what he should do.

This pleased the customers greatly, and they began to pat Conan's 'dog head'.

As time passed, customers came and went, until around six o'clock when the ingredients ran out and a sign saying "Closed" was hung at the door. Customers stopped coming in, but those who came to the vicinity couldn't help but sigh when they saw the sign.

Today, I'm late again. What a pity!
So if you want to eat something delicious, you still need to go early.

Although they said they ran out of ingredients, the store still had ingredients for staff meals.

We can't let our own people in the shop suffer.

However, Conan didn't eat at the store; instead, he went back to the Mouri Detective Agency to eat.

After all, for Conan, every meal Ran cooks at home is a meal made with love, and he can't help but want to eat it!
Xiao Lan's cooking skills are the best in the world!

After Conan left, Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group began to have dinner at the restaurant.

During the meal, everyone started chatting and mentioned the luxury cruise trip that Sonoko had mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Amuro Tooru paused for a moment: "Boss, are you all going over there?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Yes, if the garden invites me, of course I'll go, especially since it's free. Why not go if it's free!"

He really enjoys getting something for free, but he hates being taken advantage of.

“In that case, I’ll go too.” Amuro Tooru said with a helpless expression, “If you all go, I won’t be able to manage the store by myself.”

"However, it seems like we've been taking too much time off lately, and our regular customers are starting to complain."

"I'm really afraid they'll turn on us and make us keep working here!"

It's no wonder he has this thought, because he has handled many cases recently and found that people are becoming more and more impatient. They can easily start arguing over a few words, or even resorting to physical violence or even murder.

He felt that if he rested for too long, he might get caught by customers and be forced to come back to work.

Thinking of this, Amuro Tooru couldn't help but shudder.

He's willing to go to work, but he's unwilling to be forced to.

"Hahaha," Kitahara Natsuyu laughed upon hearing this, "That's certainly true, people's hearts are restless."

"However, we can let the customers calm down and take a proper break for a while, then they won't be so restless."

"Settle, settle"

Amuro Tooru and the others fell silent upon hearing this.

This is really a niche topic; it actually gave the guests pause for thought.

But it seems plausible.

After all, you're too restless, customer. You need to calm down and settle down.

Suddenly, someone burst into laughter, and then cheerful laughter filled the store; even Kitahara Natsuhiro laughed.

"That's a good idea! Let the guests calm down and they won't have so many complaints." Ai agreed with the suggestion.

Because traveling is more fun with more people; if there are too few people, it's not fun at all.

"If the guests heard this, they would be furious." Miyano Akemi covered her mouth and laughed.

"It's not a big problem," Kitahara Natsuyu said. "They'll get used to it eventually. After all, we'll definitely need to take breaks every now and then."

“That makes sense.” Amuro Tooru nodded in agreement.

He's been a bit tired these past couple of days, so a little rest wouldn't hurt. It's not from working here, of course, but from other trivial matters.

Because of the previous arrest and release of James, the higher-ups questioned him and sided with James, which made him very unhappy.

But he could understand, after all, the United States was powerful, and Japan was now America's little brother, unable to resist.

After all, Japan rebelled, which resulted in the loss of several decades, and those lost years are still increasing.

But Amuro Tooru really can't stand someone like James who punches you in the face and then tells you to hit him.

Fortunately, he has connections in the Japanese Public Security Bureau; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach this position at such a young age.

So the person behind him shouldered most of the pressure for him, and even so he still received a lot of criticism, as did his subordinate, Kazami Yuya.

Kitahara Natsuhiro's suggestion of a luxury cruise trip came at just the right time. It's a good opportunity to relax and unwind. I'll invite Kazami Yuya along too.

He went on vacation with Amuro Tooru as a friend.

He is very generous to his subordinates, always giving them the maximum overtime pay and providing them with all the necessary benefits.

This is one of the reasons why Kazami Yuya is so devoted to Amuro Tooru; who wouldn't want a boss like that!
Most importantly, Amuro Tooru is young enough and has time to climb to a high position, at which point Kazami Yuya will also reap a great deal of benefits.

The neon lights of the future ultimately belong to these young people.

However, so far, it still belongs to those old guys, who are the heads of various conglomerates and those who have been politicians for generations.

They are the ones who control the entire neon world, making it the way it is.

Amuro Tooru wants to make Japan a better place, even if it means sacrificing his own life.

"Um, can I bring my friend along?" Amuro Tooru asked.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any problem. I'll ask Sonoko later. One more person shouldn't be an issue."

After all, the Suzuki Zaibatsu has invested in some of the projects of the eighth generation of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, including this luxury cruise trip.

However, if one more person comes out, then one person will have to leave, but it will definitely be someone with a lower status or background.

But this has nothing to do with Kitahara Natsuhiro, nor with the Suzuki Zaibatsu; it's a matter for the Yatsudai Zaibatsu.

They will handle it properly.

However, since the luxury cruise line hasn't even started yet, there's no point in talking about it now.

"Amuro Tooru's friend?" Upon hearing this, Wakita Kanenori, who was standing nearby, had an image of a man in his mind.

And this figure was none other than Kazami Yuya.

He had seen Kazami Yuya before, because Kazami Yuya had followed him and then shaken him off.

This also makes his identity less secure, just as Amuro Tooru's identity is not so secure in Wakita Kanenori's eyes.

The current situation is that both Kenjiro Wakita and Tooru Amuro suspect each other's identities.

One of them was someone who suspected the other party was part of a criminal organization and came to investigate.

The other suspicion is that the mole was planted by some organization on the other side.

At this point, it seemed that Kenjiro Wakita and Tooru Amuro had reached some kind of tacit understanding and stopped investigating his identity.

But some things will still involve open and covert struggles.

And once they have something on the other party, they will not hesitate to put them to death.

This is the pattern of behavior of these agents.

If you take action, you must kill the opponent.

Amuro Tooru did the same thing last time, but there was a mole in his team, which prevented him from taking down James and obtaining more information.

However, after that incident, Amuro Tooru found the mole within his team.

The way to deal with internal traitors cannot be gentle, otherwise it will be impossible to deter others.

As for the solution, it was the old method: sinking it into Tokyo Bay.

Tokyo Bay is a cesspool; you can stuff anything into it, including human corpses.

Closer to home.

Just as Wakita Kanenori was thinking about something, Amuro Tooru looked over and asked with a smile, "Brother Wakita, what's wrong?"

He roughly guessed what Wakita Kanenori was thinking, and he did it on purpose.

That's all; I just wanted to catch this guy by the tail.

Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Wakita smiled and said, "No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about what clothes I should wear when I go there."

"After all, the people going there are all rich. If we're not dressed well, it might embarrass Miss Sonoko." He said, scratching the back of his head, looking embarrassed.

However, among the group, only Enomoto Azusa believed him in this state, because everyone else knew Wakita Kanenori's true nature, and Amuro Tooru had also guessed a little bit about it.

All I can say is that Enomoto Azusa was too naive, while Wakita Kanenori was a cunning old fox.

However, even the old fox was useless; he was no match for Kitahara Natsuyu's cheat code.

“Wear whatever you want, we’re not the main characters anyway,” Kitahara Natsuyu said. “After all, the big shots are the main characters.”

"Big man?"

Upon hearing this, Kenjiro Wakita narrowed his eyes, sensing that this luxury cruise trip could be profitable.

The important person Kitahara Natsuhiro mentioned was probably a real important person; Sonoko told him that.

Those who can participate in the cruise ship trip of the eighth generation of zaibatsu and are called big shots are definitely not simple people.

He needs to have someone investigate the list of people who boarded the ship this time.

If it's really a big shot, he can make contact with them and eventually become a member of the organization, working for it.

As for those who develop into such an organization, the answer is naturally to treat them to meals, behead them, and take them in as dogs.

Their criminal organization is a terrorist organization, so naturally they won't adopt any appeasement policies. Even if they do use appeasement policies, it will take time.

Sometimes there simply isn't enough time for you to appease others.

On a cruise ship, there aren't many security personnel around, making it difficult to even get close to them under normal circumstances.

Therefore, Kenjiro Wakita will be showcasing his skills on this luxury cruise ship.

“I don’t know who it is, I just heard that’s what they said,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

He actually said that on purpose, with the aim of luring Wakita Kanenori into a trap so that he could see Amuro Tooru fight him.

But the intelligence is absolutely true!
