Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Yukiko stared at him for three seconds, then suddenly smiled.

"So, I'm not here to make money, but to become a paying shareholder?"

Zheng nodded and said sincerely, "To be precise, we are ecological partners who co-create value."

The sun shone brightly outside the window, and the contract paper gleamed coldly.

Yukiko felt a chill run through her body.

Zheng Yi was even more terrifying than she had imagined.

He not only doesn't want to make money, but he also wants to make himself pay.

Yukiko suppressed her shock and tried her best to speak in the calmest tone possible:
"If the commercial value I bring you isn't enough, you'll have to pay me out of pocket?"

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Zheng Yi looked completely innocent. "After all, our costs are what they are."

You are all alone now, you have nothing, and everything needs to be provided by our company.

Yukiko looked at the contract but didn't dare to write anything.

She was afraid of what would happen after she signed her name.

After working myself to the bone all year, I found that not only had I not made any money, but I also owed Zheng Yi a large sum of money.

Masashi saw through Yukiko's concerns.

He said directly, "In that case, even if you haven't earned a single penny, our company won't ask you to pay the additional operating expenses."

"Really?"

"real."

Yukiko's brows finally relaxed.

If this clause is removed.

Although there is still a risk of not making money, at least I won't be in debt.

Zheng Yi turned to the next page of the contract, his tone gentle:

"Take a look at our company first. In order to help you quickly return to your peak, we have specially arranged an immersive growth program."

Yukiko lowered her head and looked at the contract with curiosity.

Zheng Yi said:

Every day at 6 a.m., the TV station broadcasts a live morning program called "A Day in the Life of a Self-Disciplined Goddess".

I taught my fans how to make curry at noon.

Join us for a live chat at 8 PM to discuss celebrity parenting tips and how to raise a child like Shinichi Kudo.

"Recording three shows in one day?" Yukiko's eyes widened.

Zheng Yi asked, "Is it because you don't show up enough? Our company is mainly worried that you'll cause public resentment if you appear too often."

Yukiko sneered: "No, it's not too little, it's too much! Is this what you call work? This is what you call being in jail."

Even cattle and horses aren't treated like that.

Zheng Yi remained as gentle and easy to talk to as ever.

He said to Yukiko, "The main problem is that you haven't appeared in front of the public for too long, and many viewers have forgotten about you."

The more shows you appear on, the better, all to help you regain your popularity as quickly as possible.

But don't worry, you just need to stick with it for a month.

"Is it really only necessary to persevere for one month?" Yukiko asked.

“Of course,” Zheng Yi said. “After a month, I won’t need to participate in so many programs.”

It's time to make TV series and movies.

Yukiko could no longer maintain her dignified demeanor and scratched her head.

Even if it's only for a month, it would be hard for her to stick to it.

After all, she hadn't worked for a long time.

Zheng Yi said, "I made this arrangement based on your needs."

Aren't you short of money?
This way, we can quickly restore popularity and then make money rapidly.

Mrs. Kudo, think of your son.

If I can't earn enough money, I won't be able to get my son medical treatment.

Just think about Conan's eyes.

That child's eyes, even though he's still a high school student, his body is trapped in the shell of a child... It's so heartbreaking.

Mrs. Kudo...can you really bear to let Shinichi continue like this?

“Okay, I’ll sign!” Yukiko said.

When she said those words, Yukiko's eyelids twitched simultaneously, and she didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

"it is good."

Zheng Yi nodded, called someone at the company, explained the changes needed, and asked them to draft a new contract. "Let's go back to the company to sign it," Zheng Yi said.

"it is good."

Yukiko nodded, but something felt off.

She and the president of that small company also decided to go to the company to sign the contract, but the president died as soon as he returned to the company.

He was killed by his own employees.

After talking with Zheng Yi.

Yukiko felt that the employees of Seiichi Corporation probably harbored more resentment.

Could it be that Zheng Yi will also...?

The scene that Yukiko imagined did not appear.

When Masakazu entered the entertainment company, Yukiko discovered that hardly anyone recognized him.

Instead, some people recognized her, ran over to ask for her autograph, and inquired with curiosity why she had come here.

When I learned that she was there to sign a contract.

They all exclaimed in surprise, while their boss, Zheng Yi, was ignored.

hateful!

This guy has never revealed his face.

Even if it's Zheng Yi's company, unless you're a leader, you wouldn't know what he looks like.

Zheng Yi was still too far-sighted.

Yukiko said quietly, "Now I finally know why you don't like having bodyguards."

"Huh?" Zheng Yi felt confused.

He led Yukiko to the office.

When the contract was placed in front of her, Yukiko still hesitated.

It was as if what was on the table was a contract of servitude.

"Would you like to take another look?" Zheng Yi said.

"it is good."

Yukiko casually flipped through it.

The contract was dozens of pages long, but I didn't read it carefully at all; I just glanced at each page casually.

Zheng Yi picked up his water glass and drank quietly.

I told you to read the contract carefully, but you didn't notice the small clauses. Don't blame me for that.

Of course, Shoichi isn't a bad person and wouldn't harm Yukiko.

"Are you done? Can you sign now?" Zheng Yi urged.

"I……"

"Beep, beep, beep~"

"Oh dear, it's an email from Conan, asking about the progress," Shoichi said.

He was replying to Conan on his phone without even looking up.

Yukiko's face still showed some hesitation.

Zheng Yi added, "By the way, when you go back, bring some samples of the antidote back for Conan."

Although it cannot fully restore the body, the antidote's effects can last for more than 40 hours.

"Isn't Conan going to Toyota City? This antidote might come in handy."

These words reached Yukiko's ears.

It has automatically become, 'Madam, you don't want your son to be a child his whole life, do you?'

Without hesitation, he signed the contract.

"Alright, you can go back now. We'll start again tomorrow; an agent from the company will contact you," Zheng Yi said with a smile.

Seeing Shoichi's bright white teeth, Yukiko was somewhat distracted.

"it is good."

After seeing Yukiko to the door, Masakazu asked again, "By the way, we can also manage the copyrights of Yusaku Kudo's novels."

Yukiko waved her hand and said:
"I don't care about these things. If you're interested, you can contact Yuzaku."

"Ok."

Zheng nodded.

He concluded by saying to Yukiko, "Our collaboration will definitely be a win-win situation."

Zheng Yi must keep winning. (End of Chapter)
