Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 85 Xiao Ai: I Have My Own Way of Settling Accounts

The next day, Zheng Yi slept at home all day.

It was almost time to meet with Rena Mizunashi, and he finally got out of bed, deliberately maintaining this tired appearance.

He asked Curaçao to take him to the construction company to find Akemi Miyano.

"Still working so late?"

“I’m looking at the design drawings,” Akemi Miyano said.

Zheng Yi nodded, poured Miyano Akemi a cup of coffee, and said softly, "Go and rest for a while, don't overwork yourself."

Akemi Miyano stared at Masakazu as if she had seen a ghost.

This guy who has a VIP spot on the streetlight, why did he suddenly change his mind and tell me to go rest?

After taking Miyano Akemi's seat, Masakazu picked up the blueprints on the table and started looking at them.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Please come in." Zheng Yi controlled his voice, his words sounding tired and weak.

Rena Mizunashi pushed open the office door and saw a woman leisurely drinking coffee, while another woman stood quietly to the side.

Only Zheng Yi was looking at the blueprints, looking extremely tired.

"Hello, this is Rena Mizunashi from Nichiri TV."

"Hello." As he stood up, he smiled at Rena Mizunashi, but the fatigue on his face couldn't be hidden by the smile.

Rena Mizunashi said admiringly, "I didn't expect you to be working so late. You must be working so hard."

As expected, not every scion of a wealthy family can succeed.

Only by working as hard as Mr. Zhengyi can one carve out a niche for oneself.

"Once you get used to it, you don't feel tired anymore," Zheng Yi said.

As Akemi Miyano held her coffee and listened to Masakazu's words, she felt that this unsweetened coffee was still not bitter enough.

“Can we interview you now?” Rena Mizunashi asked.

“Of course,” Zheng Yi said, “but I won’t show my face.”

“No problem,” Rena Mizunashi said.

After setting up the equipment, Rena Mizunashi held up the microphone and asked, "Why did you choose to return to Japan to develop your career?"

"Of course, it's to save Japan," Masakazu said seriously.

He said passionately, "Japan's economy is currently in a slump, and its businesses are stagnant. I've come here to save Japan's economy and revitalize its businesses."

"You...you are truly great," Rena Mizunashi said in a dry, forced manner.

That's so pretentious and unrealistic.

To prevent Shoichi from continuing down this path, Rena Mizunashi, following the instructions given by the TV station, steered the conversation towards the movie.

People don't really understand economic topics, but they still watch movies.

Zheng Yi also began to speak eloquently.

It's said that Hollywood studios have taken a liking to "The Ring" and are preparing to remake it.

They also said that the movie "Final Destination," which is currently being filmed, will be released simultaneously worldwide, making history for live-action films.

Moreover, he is also planning to film a sequel to "Final Destination".

Rena Mizunashi felt a headache coming on.

I'm thinking about how to polish Zheng Yi's work.

After Zheng Yi finished speaking, he took a sip of water to moisten his throat and turned to ask Mizunashi Rena, "By the way, who else is your TV station planning to interview this time?"

"Um, there's Detective Kogoro Mouri, Inspector Megure from the Metropolitan Police Department, and Representative Tobuguchi, and..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more." Masakazu interrupted Rena Mizunashi.

The people being promoted here aren't good people at all.

A sleeping lackey, a lackey of the Metropolitan Police Department, and a member of parliament who swallows his tongue.

Masakazu was really afraid of hearing Choso's name.

I have a feeling that this publicity campaign is a whitewashing event.

"How long until it makes the news?" "Tomorrow at noon, I guess," Rena Mizunashi said uncertainly.

Zheng Yi was the last person they interviewed; they were being urged by their superiors to get him on the news as soon as possible.

"understood."

After the interview, Masaharu saw Rena Mizunashi off.

Back in the office, Miyano Akemi had already taken my seat, and her face was expressionless as she continued to look at the design drawings.

Zheng Yi poured her another cup of coffee: "Get some rest."

Akemi Miyano didn't even look up.

Zheng Yi took a few more strands of hair out of his pocket and put them on the table. "Soon, you'll be able to meet your sister."

"Could you please stop pulling my sister's hair?" Miyano Akemi said, barely able to contain herself.

She really doesn't want a bald sister.

"I'm doing this so you'll remember me when you see these things," Zheng Yi said softly.

“When I was in the organization, I had the opportunity to meet with Shiho every month,” Miyano Akemi said through gritted teeth.

Zheng was unhappy when he heard this.

How can you compare my company and organization?

“From now on, you and your sister will see each other once a week!” Zheng Yi said.

Akemi Miyano's face darkened.

She thought that when Zheng Yi said she could meet her sister, he meant he wanted to return her sister to her.

Zheng Yi said, "It's not that I don't want to pay you back, it's just that your sister borrowed a lot of money from me, and I certainly won't let her go until all the money is paid back."

"How much did you borrow?" Akemi Miyano asked, frowning.

She worked for Zheng Yi and was paid a salary. Since she didn't have many expenses, she managed to save up a considerable amount of money.

“It’s probably worth over 100 million yen,” Masakazu said.

Zhengyi hasn't done a detailed calculation, but he can make it up. He can just pick a few fees and it might reach hundreds of millions of yen.

"So many?" Miyano Akemi looked at Masakazu with suspicion.

Are you lending money at exorbitant interest rates?
“My family owns a legitimate bank; how could we possibly lend money at exorbitant interest rates to your sister? Once you meet your sister, you'll understand why she owes so much money,” Zheng Yi said.

With his name signed in black and white, Zheng Yi wasn't worried that Ai would run away.

“I will pay back the money for my sister,” Miyano Akemi said.

“Once you’ve paid back the money, I’ll give you all your freedom,” Zheng Yi said.

After making a promise with Akemi Miyano.

Zhengyi, who never lies and highly values ​​the spirit of contracts, returned home.

After returning home, the first thing I did was shake Ai awake, who had already fallen asleep.

After being woken up by Shoichi, Ai was in a state of complete agitation, with her brown hair standing on end.

"Do you remember that you owe me a lot of money?" Zheng Yi asked.

Ai recalled the night Masakazu took her home, and then nodded.

It seems to be a lot of money, and the interest is quite high. She doesn't know exactly how much she owes now, but it's definitely not a small amount.

"You must remember to pay me back," Zheng Yi said.

"Ah."

Ai nodded, then slammed her head onto the pillow.

I have my own way of settling accounts.

Zheng Yi grabbed Ai's shoulders again and shook her, making her fuss again.

"What else do you want to do?" Ai asked weakly, looking at Masakazu.

"Tomorrow is a good day. I'll take you out for lunch."

"understood."
