Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 86 Sonoko's Troubles, Touko's Digging Work (Seeking First Subscription)
It's true that seeing is believing; Sonoko Suzuki, the heiress of a wealthy family, is indeed a hopeless romantic.

And he seems a bit love-struck, but he's not blindly so; he has his own judgment.

Unfortunately, the person I want to get to know is not you, but your mother.

However, now that I've met Sonoko, it won't be long before I meet Tomoko Suzuki. Congratulations!

"Conan." Ran smiled, then looked at Genta and the others beside her: "Genta, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi."

"Sister Xiaolan."

Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi all called out in unison, then looked at Sonoko Suzuki and called out, "Sonoko-neechan."

Hearing this, Sonoko smiled and said, "Very good, I like obedient children. I'll treat you to ice cream later."

Genta and the others exchanged glances and immediately cheered with joy.

Now the pressure is on Conan.

They've all shouted it out, it's not appropriate for you not to.

I may not remember those who gave gifts, but I will definitely remember those who didn't.

Having no other choice, Conan could only grit his teeth and call out, "Sonoko-neechan."

Since Ran-neechan has already called her that, it doesn't matter if Sonoko-neechan is called her too. Morals and such are no longer important.

Open up!
“Very good, very good, everyone is a good kid.” Sonoko put her hands on her hips.

She lost herself amidst the constant calls of "sister".

Kids are so cute.

"Xiao Lan, don't you have karate club practice today?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro walked over.

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Because the karate competition is coming up soon, we were given a few days off to relax."

Teitan High School's karate club frequently wins awards, including national ones, demonstrating its strength.

Ran is one of the main players, and there is also a senior high school student, Kazumi Tsukamoto.

Furthermore, when Ran was a first-year high school student, she lost to Kazumi Tsukamoto.

She is also a 'weak woman' with both strength and speed at the top level.

"I see." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded. "By the way, would Ran and Sonoko like to come over for dinner?"

"My restaurant is already in its soft opening phase, and I'll invite Mr. Mori over as well."

Kogoro Mouri: Okay, okay, I consider you a brother. You just invite me to dinner casually. Our relationship has faded.

"This is not good."

Kitahara Natsuyu waved his hand: "It's okay, we're having a soft opening today, and I was just about to treat these kids to dinner."

"You and Sonoko are just bringing a couple more sets of chopsticks and bowls, it's no trouble at all, so please don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan stopped refusing and said, "Thank you, Kitahara-sensei."

Sonoko also said thank you.

She was eager to have dinner together, hoping to take the opportunity to get his phone number.

“But my dad isn’t home right now. He received a request and went out,” Xiaolan said.

When she got out of school, she received a text message from Kogoro Mouri saying that he had received a request and wouldn't be home for dinner, so she didn't need to cook for him.

“I see,” Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded. “Then we’ll have to ask Mr. Mori next time.”

"Alright, let's stop talking at the door and go inside."

Kitahara Natsuhiro looked at everyone and called out.

Afterwards, everyone followed Kitahara Natsuhiro into the restaurant.

At this time, there were no customers in the restaurant, and it looked rather deserted.

"Welcome, boss."

Enomoto Azusa, who was standing at the cashier, stood up and bowed slightly.

"Xiao Zi, good afternoon. Are you settling in well here?" Kitahara Natsuyu asked.

"It's a habit, thank you for your concern, boss."

Enomoto Azusa smiled sweetly.

At this moment, Ayumi and the others beside her also sweetly called out, "Sister Azusa."

Xiao Zi responded to them one by one and even asked for their names.

Then, everyone took their seats with Kitahara Natsuhiro.

"Sigh, why are there so few customers?" Ayumi looked at the empty restaurant, looking somewhat disappointed.

She thought the restaurant would be lively, but it was so deserted.

"This is a trial operation, and I haven't advertised it, so it's normal that there aren't many people."

Kitahara Natsuhiro patted Ayumi's head and said softly.

"Although we didn't have many customers today, they all gave us positive reviews."

At some point, Amuro Tooru came out of the kitchen and came to Kitahara Natsuyu and the others.

then
Sonoko's heart started pounding again, wildly.

The heart has been struck by another arrow.

"Wow!!!"

"Another handsome guy, and this time he's blond and mixed-race."

"Damn it, two handsome guys with different styles, it's hard to choose!"

Today, the garden is a little troubled, but it's a happy kind of trouble, because she's encountered too many handsome guys at once!
However, this time, Sonoko did not show any signs of being infatuated. After all, she is a lady from a respectable family, and she would definitely remain rational in such a crowded place.

As for what happened just now, she was ambushed.

Doesn't count.

Kitahara Natsuyu stood up and began to introduce everyone: "Let me introduce you. This is the restaurant's head chef and manager, Amuro Tooru."

then
Conan, Ayumi, and others call Amuro "brother," while Sonoko and Ran call him "Mr. Amuro."

Looking at so many children and students, Amuro Tooru felt himself become more energetic, and his whole being began to burn, because this was one of the treasures he wanted to protect.

"Okay, today I'm going to show off my skills and cook you a delicious meal."

"Just wait!"

He's such a hot-blooded and handsome guy, and he can even cook! That's amazing!
Sonoko silently gave herself a thumbs up.

"Then we'll be waiting for you to show your skills."

"it is good!"

Amuro Tooru nodded and then returned to his territory.

Kitahara Natsuyu also got up and, together with Enomoto Azusa, got drinks and some fruit to serve them.

Drinks and fruit are unlimited, of course; he doesn't need the money for fruit. But these are limited for children, especially Genta.

If there's no limit, I'll definitely get an upset stomach later.

"Come on, everyone, have some fruit and drinks."

Kitahara Natsuhiro brought the food over and placed it in front of everyone.

Sure enough, Yuan Tai immediately picked up the fruit, one in each hand, ready to start eating.

"Genta, you can only drink one bottle of beverage, and you can eat one more piece of fruit. We'll eat dinner later!" Kitahara Natsuyu instructed.

"Ugh!"

This immediately drew a protest from Genta: "Why?"

"Because you're always greedy, eating too much will give you an upset stomach."

"Or do you want to copy the school rules while you have an upset stomach?"

Kitahara Natsuyu moved closer, his face turning sinister.

The next second, Yuan Tai trembled and his face twitched: "I...I understand."

At the same time, Conan's hand trembled slightly; that feeling was back.

Next, Genta began to chew slowly and carefully, savoring the sweetness of the fruit.

In the past, it would have been like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit, eating it without tasting it.

"Yes, very good, very good." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded in satisfaction. "I'll go help in the kitchen. You guys eat first."

Genta and the others breathed a sigh of relief after watching Kitahara Natsuyu enter the kitchen.

Sonoko, standing nearby, asked curiously, "You all seem quite afraid of Kitahara-san. He seems very gentle!"

"And that brat's hand trembled just now, why was that?"

Upon hearing this, Conan, Genta, and the others exchanged glances, none of them really wanting to say anything.

They couldn't very well tell Sonoko that it was because the kids were too naughty and they were afraid of being punished by copying the school rules.

Even though they are elementary school students, they still care about their image.

Ran covered her mouth and laughed, then whispered to Sonoko, "Actually, they were being naughty at school and were punished by Mr. Kitahara to copy the school rules."

"Especially Conan, he was punished by copying on his first day of school, and it lasted for several days in a row."

"This has caused his hands to tremble whenever he hears the words 'school rules'."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko's expression gradually became more unrestrained, and she slapped her thigh and laughed: "That Conan kid is so naughty."

"This is so interesting! I've never been punished by copying school rules even once!" Sonoko said with a smug look on her face.

Conan slumped his eyes and lowered his head, thinking to himself, "That gossipy Sonoko and Ran actually exposed my shortcomings in a place like this, it's just too much!"

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Kitahara Natsuyu also put on his apron and began assisting Amuro Tooru.

"Amuro, can you manage the kitchen by yourself? If it's too busy, can you hire a few more people?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro asked while washing the vegetables.

Amuro Tooru manages everything here by himself; he doesn't interfere at all, completely shirking his responsibilities.

So, whether or not to hire someone else, you should ask this professional "King of Hired Managers".

Amuro Tooru pondered for a moment: "Although there are relatively few customers now, as long as we spread the word, there will be no shortage of customers."

"I will find staff for the kitchen as soon as possible, and we also need a waiter. We can't rely on Xiaozhi alone."

He used to work in the kitchen and knows many people in the same industry. If he wanted to poach people, he could poach quite a few.

Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and said, "It's good that you're prepared."

"I won't interfere with the hiring process; you can go ahead and do it!"

I'll be in charge of counting the money, and you'll be in charge of the work.

We have a clear division of labor.

The "boss," Amuro Tooru, was somewhat moved.

Kitahara Natsuyu is a hands-off manager who doesn't care about anything.

But he gave him all the power, which can be considered as half a scholar dying for one who understands him.

So he was moved, but only a little.

"As long as you don't mind me being a hands-off manager, that's fine with me." Kitahara Natsuyu laughed.

"How could that be? I love bosses like you the most."

Amuro Tooru said something from the bottom of his heart.

He now holds all the power; even the ledgers are in his hands.

With his skills, it would be easy for him to create a fake ledger to fool Kitahara Natsuhiro, and then pocket all the money.

But he won't do that, because he still has his bottom line.

Furthermore, Kitahara Natsuhiro also helped him.

"Hahaha."

"Amuro, you really know how to talk."

"By the way," Amuro Tooru smiled, "Boss, is Ms. Edogawa Fumiyo, who came in today, Conan's mother?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu lowered his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Touko, as expected, was subtly hinting at something.

Then, he looked up, his smile vanishing instantly: "Yes, she is Conan's mother."

"But why is Conan staying at Mr. Mori's house?" Amuro Tooru asked, voicing his doubts.

Kitahara Natsuyu shook his head: "I'm not really sure either, it might be due to family reasons."

"Although I am a teacher, there are some things I shouldn't ask too much about."

“That’s true.” Amuro Tooru nodded and began to change the subject: “But Ms. Edogawa’s friend is very beautiful, and she’s a foreigner too.”

"I think her name is Chris or something."

“Chris,” Kitahara Natsuhiro said. “I’ve heard the name, but I’ve never met her.”

And so, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Amuro Tooru chatted idly in the kitchen.

However, Amuro Tooru never got any information about Chris from Kitahara Natsuhiro.

On the contrary, they've pretty much dug up all the information about Fumiyo Edogawa and Conan Edogawa.

I transferred here a while ago and met a scientist named Professor Agasa, who is precocious despite his small size.

All necessary elements are included.

With Amuro Tooru's power, a little investigation would bring the truth within reach.
