Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 221 I Hate Salary Thieves the Most
"So, what's the difference between now and when I was in the organization?"

Ai blinked her eyes.

The research content is very similar to what I experienced when I was in the organization, and the colleagues are also the same colleagues from the organization.

She has not fled the organization to this day.

"Your body has shrunk, so you can work for many more years."

"Hey hey hey~ Don't bite me!"

Zheng Yi pushed Ai's head away, afraid that her teeth would touch his body.

When did I bite you?

Ai weakly swung her fists at Masakazu a few times, but in the end she only hit air.

"So, when you were part of the organization, you didn't have to go to school?"

Ai swung her arms even harder.

Is it less comfortable to be in an organization?
They went from one wolf's den to another tiger's lair.

Zheng Yi gently rubbed Ai's head.

Honestly, no matter what I say, she's never satisfied.

"How about I treat you to a late-night snack?"

"Not very good," Ai said with a straight face.

I work so hard for you, and you just give me a late-night snack to get rid of me?
Zheng Yi said, "I saved your sister."

Are you trying to blackmail me for something in return?

"is it not OK?"

Ai punched Shoichi again, but still only hit air.

Zheng Yi said, "Are you going to keep making a scene? Your colleagues are about to see this."

"They don't know who I am?"

They only knew I was a little girl, but they didn't know I was Sherry.

But upon hearing footsteps, Ai quickly regained her composure.

She straightened her white coat, exhaled a long breath, and stood coldly beside Zheng Yi.

"Are you guys going out for a late-night snack?"

Hongzi walked out with light and quick steps.

She had taken off her white coat and put on a bright red dress, making her extremely conspicuous in the darkness.

"I'm not going," Ai said.

Akako lowered her head and looked at Ai, then nodded slightly.

Then she looked up and asked Zheng Yi, "Are you going?"

"go."

Zheng Yi rubbed his stomach and said, "Arguing with someone just now was exhausting. I want to go get something to eat now."

Ai poked Shoichi's thigh.

"Why don't you go back first?" Zheng Yi said.

Ai rolled her eyes. Do you even know that the purpose of your visit is to take me home?

She was suddenly stunned.

Zheng Yi might not have come to pick her up; his purpose was to bring these researchers over, and picking her up was just a side thing.

Seeing that Ai seemed reluctant, Masakazu said, "Then you can watch us eat."

……

The next evening.

After school at Ekoda High School, Akako's eyebrows were furrowed.

Clearly, something happened at school that upset her.

"Di Di~"

"Who sent you the email?"

Ai naturally clung to Shoichi's hand, wanting to see who sent the email.

"Can you please respect my privacy?" Zheng Yi gently pushed Ai's head to the side.

Ai pouted.

I turned my head to look at the scenery outside the car.

It wasn't sent by Gin; she had absolutely no interest in it.

Masahiro has snatched all the researchers from the organization. Ai thought Gin would send an email to Masahiro to argue with him.

To be honest, Ai has never seen Gin get angry.

“Let’s go to the Rice Flower Restaurant,” Zheng Yi said to Curaçao.

Curaçao nodded and turned the car around.

Ai's eyes darted around.

Looking out the window, my mood suddenly improved a lot.

It seems that because Akako complained to Masakazu, Masakazu was worried that he wouldn't go to work, so he came to 'pick him up' and drop him off at get off work.

But now he's changed the direction of the car.

This isn't the way to work. "I still have to go to work," Zhengyi said, squinting.

Without even looking at Ai, Masakazu knew what she was thinking.

Don't think about good things every day.

Xiao Ai snorted.

"So what are you going to do?"

“A girl invited me to dinner,” Zheng Yi said.

"you?"

Ai looked at Masakazu with suspicion, doubting the truthfulness of his words.

With your terrible personality and reputation, do you really think any girl would invite you to dinner?
"Vermouth?" Ai guessed.

Zheng Yi blinked.

He said softly, "If Vermouth knew that you called her a girl, she would be very happy."

Maybe she'll treat you better in the future.

Vermouth is so old, and she's still calling herself a girl.

Ai shook her head.

Besides her, Ai couldn't think of anyone else.

"It's Koizumi Akako."

"Oh." Ai nodded and said, "Is she planning to ask you for her unpaid wages?"

Shoichi stretched out his finger and tapped Ai's head.

Don't assume all girls are as annoying as you are.

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Masakazu and Ai saw Koizumi Akako sitting in the corner and walked straight over to her.

When Hongzi saw the two of them, she actually stood up to greet them.

After we met, there wasn't a single wasted word.

"I want a raise."

"Pfft~"

Ai couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zheng Yi remained silent.

Saying things like that right after we meet? Aren't you going to be polite?
When Ai asks for a raise, she always comes up with a whole bunch of reasons. Is your emotional intelligence even lower than a child's?

After calming down for more than ten seconds, Zheng Yi asked, word by word:

"why?"

"It's rising... Waaaaah~"

Shoichi covered Ai's mouth with his hand, who was about to say something out of line, and then stared straight at Akako.

“Because I feel I don’t have enough money,” Hongzi said.

"Oh?"

Akako said, "It seems that the wealth I've displayed isn't enough to make Kaito 'submit'."

"Be more detailed."

Akako said slowly, "As soon as possible, Kaito's emotions are very wrong, very perfunctory."

Unlike usual, this time they didn't even perform properly.

They didn't seem to be forced at all; they were just giving up completely.

This made Lady Akako feel no pleasure.

Watching Kaito's acting was utterly uninteresting.

"I understand." Zheng Yi nodded seriously.

So someone was derelict in their duties.

This is indeed a very serious problem.

Zhengyi hates nothing more than a paycheck thief.

"This isn't about whether or not there's a raise," Zheng Yi said calmly to Hong Zi as he sat down.

"I'll help you solve the problem, and you shouldn't bring up the issue of a raise again, okay?"

Hongzi raised her eyebrows.

Seeing that Ai was firmly controlled by Masakazu, she could only desperately shake her head at him.

Hongzi said softly:

"No problem, I don't really care about the amount of money."

"it is good."

Hongzi glanced at Zhengyi.

She keenly sensed that when she gave up the raise, Zheng Yi's feelings for him increased significantly.

Hongzi pursed her lips and looked at Zhengyi with a light smile.

This guy is easy to understand. As long as you save him money or make him money, he'll like you a lot.
