Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

"This is so annoying!" Zheng Yi angrily threw his phone away.

These guys are going too far.

Instead of looking for the cause when problems arise, they prefer to find shortcuts and directly pin the blame on Zheng Yi.

unacceptable.

Zheng Yi carried too much on his shoulders.

Hongye, sitting on the sofa, silently put down the teacup in her hand.

She finally understood what Zheng Yi had been busy with.

No wonder everyone is so busy when they travel; they're always glued to their phones.

It turns out they did something really big.

Hongye asked Zhengyi, "Is this how you poach people?"

"No."

Zheng Yi shook his head and said, "I did try to poach people from Honda and Toyota before, but I didn't manage to recruit a single one."

It is obvious that Zheng Yi's attempt to poach talent failed.

Zheng Yi doesn't like to poach people with money; he prefers to use sincerity.

The salary offered by Zheng Yi was only slightly higher than what they received at their previous company, so they had no intention of leaving.

Zheng Yi stroked his chin and said, "Now that I'm not poaching people anymore, they're either resigning or being fired."

Hongye's lips twitched. "There are no outsiders here, so you don't need to pretend with me."

"What are you pretending for? I'm telling the truth," Zheng Yi said.

Hongye glanced at Zhengyi.

Is this why you can succeed?
Even when no one else is around, they refuse to tell the truth.

Hongye glanced at Zhengyi and realized that he seemed to genuinely believe that what he said was the truth.

Okay, it seems he's even fooled himself.

Hongye couldn't help but say, "Your actions are too exaggerated; they're rare to see in the whole world."

“I didn’t do anything, okay?” Zheng Yi said.

Even if he does take action, it's to help Conan investigate the organization and sell AI to Honda.

This has nothing to do with the large-scale departures of employees from these two companies.

Zheng Yi suddenly showed an anxious expression.

He said painfully, "Even though I did nothing, those guys are trying to pin the blame on me."

I'm not even twenty years old yet, I can't carry such a heavy burden.

"I've received numerous calls from officials saying they've reached their limit with me and are going to sanction my company."

“You can carry it,” Hongye said.

Since we've already done it, we have to bear the consequences.

"I really can't carry it." Zheng Yi stepped forward and grabbed Hong Ye's wrist, saying, "Help me."

Hongye calmly pushed Zhengyi's hand away, and a layer of small bumps appeared on her neck.

"I'm just an ordinary high school student, I can't help you."

"I can help."

Zheng Yi stood behind Hongye and massaged her shoulders.

“You also have the Ooka Zaibatsu behind you.”

Hongye said with a straight face, "That has nothing to do with me. I can't control what the conglomerate does."

Shoichi said slowly, "The Sumitomo Group has many boys, so I am not favored."

Especially since my biology dad is still in prison.

But you're the only girl in the Ooka Group; you're much more pampered than I am.

Hongye struggled for a moment but couldn't get away.

She could only let Zheng Yi massage her, and the blush on her face could no longer be hidden.

She blushed and said, "No matter how much I'm favored, it's useless."

Hongye's body gradually relaxed.

She felt that Zheng Yi seemed to have practiced massage techniques; his massage skills were extremely proficient, and she wondered how many people he had massaged.

"If you go and sweet-talk your grandfather, it might work," Zheng Yi said with a smile.

“Impossible!” Hongye refused.

In Zheng Yi's opinion, is she someone who likes to act cute?

She was always very dignified.

Hongye turned her head and said, "Do you know who you look like now?" "Who? Someone who was wrongly convicted in prison?" Zhengyi asked.

Hongye's eyelids twitched.

He does resemble people in prison, but he wasn't wrongly accused.

Hongye said, "They are very similar to those who approached me because of my identity."

“Don’t talk nonsense, at least not before,” Zheng Yi said.

Hongye's expression turned sour.

So that's how it is now?

Hongye got up and punched Zhengyi in the stomach, then her blush became even more pronounced.

"I'm going home. As for what you want me to do, just give up on it as soon as possible."

Hongye left without looking back, and firmly refused Zhengyi's offer to drive her home.

After Momiji left, Ai looked at Masakazu with disdain.

"What kind of look is that?" Zheng Yi said with displeasure.

Ai pouted and didn't say anything, but just mouthed "trash".

"Why don't you try it again?"

'Trash'~ "Ugh!"

As soon as Ai silently lip-synced to the words, a hand was thrust into her mouth.

Before Ai could react, Masakazu had already tugged at her tongue and wiped her drool with her clothes.

Ai Haibara finally realized what Shoichi had done.

She was so surprised that she didn't even close her mouth to bite Zheng Yi's finger.

"you!"

Xiao Ai was furious and started biting Zheng Yi's hand.

While Ai was chewing on her hand, Masayuki remained silent, but instead smiled and patted Ai's head with his other hand.

It's like comforting your pet.

This gave Ai no sense of satisfaction from seeking revenge.

Her anger grew even stronger; that bastard Zheng Yi had treated her like a disobedient kitten.

"Humph!"

Ai let go of his mouth and turned to punch and kick Zheng.

After venting her anger, Ai crossed her arms and looked at Masakazu with disdain, saying:

"Looks like your honey trap didn't work."

"What honey trap?" Zheng Yi wiped his drool with a tissue and said, "I just wanted Hongye to help me, how did it become a scheme?"

There shouldn't be so many complicated things between friends.

The most important thing when dealing with friends is sincerity.

If you want someone's help, just say so. Zheng Yi doesn't use tricks.

"Hmph." Ai snorted coldly.

This was nothing more than Zheng Yi trying to save face.

Masakazu patted Ai's head and scoffed at her words.

With his looks, how could he possibly fail if he used a seduction tactic?

Ai didn't dwell on this for too long.

She asked Shoichi, "Have you reached this level of mastery over Conan?"

It's astonishing that this could cause such a large-scale exodus of employees from two major companies.

“No, I’m not that good,” Zheng Yi said.

Ai looked at Masakazu with disdain.

It was fine when Hongye was here, but now it's just the two of us, and you still won't tell the truth.

Shoichi said, "I really didn't expect Conan to be able to do this. It's a completely unexpected hobby."

Conan's performance completely exceeded Shoichi's expectations.

He originally only wanted Conan to kill a high-ranking official to intimidate Toyota.

But Conan performed exceptionally well.

"You really didn't expect this?" Ai asked.

“Of course, don’t overestimate my intelligence,” Zheng Yi said.

As it turns out, Masashi's development of Conan's abilities is less than 50%. (End of Chapter)
