Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

The next day, early in the morning.

After Lin Mo woke up sleepily, he found that Miyano Akemi had already gone to work and left him breakfast and a sticky note on the dining table.

Just a simple sentence to remind Lin Mo to eat breakfast after he gets up!

"Excellent, truly excellent!"

"It's so nice to have a woman in the house; that's what life is all about."

"Huh, today's newspaper?"

After a quick wash, Lin Mo felt refreshed and invigorated.

He started eating breakfast while reading today's newspaper.

The front page headline was absolutely explosive.

Shocking: Chikako Ikeda, author of "Blue Kingdom," accused of plagiarism!

Shocking: The work "Blue Kingdom" is suspected of plagiarism; the original author committed suicide years ago due to unbearable humiliation; her friend Ayako Suzuki has resolutely taken legal action.

'Explosion: The untold story of Ayako Suzuki, the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Foundation, and her friend Atsuko.'

Breaking news: The court has accepted the case and will formally deliver its verdict today!

"..."

Lin Mo, as one of the participants, didn't care about much of the content in the newspaper.

in contrast.

What truly shocked him was time!

Damn it.

I just took a nap, and now it's already a week later?

He had made an agreement with Ayako to send someone to take over Future Entertainment the next day. Was this considered a direct betrayal?

Ayako glanced at her phone but didn't offer any advice.

So, forget it!

Thinking of this, Lin Mo immediately called his subordinates.

Unfortunately, it's a pity.

Oshima Keisuke's team is short-staffed, and with the current critical period, they simply can't spare the time.

After careful consideration, Lin Mo gave up!

After all, compared to the small amount of property Ayako gave them, the Seiba family's plan to seize their property was more important.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo finally called Yamazaki Tetsuya and asked him to go and handle it.

Honestly...

This matter shouldn't be Yamazaki Tetsu's responsibility, after all, he's nominally the general manager of Yaryo Bank.

To put it bluntly, Tetsuya Yamazaki is a member of the Yaryu Group!

Everyone else has been busy lately, and even if it might make Ayako Suzuki overthink things, there's no time to worry about that right now.

and……

Even if she knew, so what? Would Ayako really leak it?

Bullshit!

Unless they become complete enemies in the future, the Suzuki family will definitely choose to keep quiet.

Even if we become enemies, so what? The organization behind us is not weak!

and so.

After assigning the task to Yamazaki Tetsuya, Lin Mo immediately called Ayako.

"Ms. Ayako, I'm so sorry!"

"I've been very busy with work lately, so I forgot about our appointment."

"I've just picked someone; he'll arrive in about two hours!"

And, in response to this.

Ayako had no objections, and after saying "okay," the two hung up the phone.

……

noon.

On the other side, at the Suzuki family home.

The Suzuki couple, who had finally found some time, were having dinner with Ayako and the other two.

A garden?

Today is school day, so of course I'll eat my lunchbox at school!

"What? Yamazaki Tetsu?"

"The general manager of that Balin Bank?"

"Someone who can reach this position must be a confidant of the Yaling Group, right?"

"this……"

Ayako, who was eating at the dining table, froze on the spot when she heard Masato Nishino's report.

She couldn't understand!

Although Yamazaki Tetsuya is just a nobody, the problem is that his position is anything but simple!

The Yaryu Group is on par with the Suzuki family, and Yaryu Bank is the core industry of the Yaryu family. Therefore, anyone who can sit in the position of general manager must be an absolute confidant of the Yaryu family.

after all……

That's not just a branch manager, it's the general manager of the entire bank!

Aside from the chairman and executive director, there are no other significant third-in-commands.

Moreover, this third-in-command is no different from the first-in-command!

Because the chairman and executive directors only speak on major strategic matters, the general manager holds almost all the management authority of the bank.

This level of personnel would never be entrusted to ordinary employees; only core confidants would be given such a responsibility!

But, the key point is...

This person, who should have been a core member of the Baling family, how did he suddenly become one of Lin Mo's subordinates?

"Ayako!"

Just as Ayako was in shock, Shiro Suzuki spoke up: "The general manager of Yariyoshi Bank, now acting on behalf of that Lin Mo, has taken over your entertainment company?"

Is that what you mean?

Hearing her father's question, Ayako nodded with difficulty.

Obviously.

Even now, she still can't understand it.

Another conglomerate similar to the Suzuki family has core members who are actually Lin Mo's subordinates?

This news was so shocking that she couldn't quite comprehend it!

She suddenly remembered Lin Mo's words: the identity she had discovered was fake, and he had warned her not to investigate further.

That threatening tone shows that they are not afraid of the Suzuki family!

She hadn't investigated Lin Mo before, simply because she didn't want to cause trouble and didn't take it to heart. As the eldest princess of the Suzuki family, she simply treated it as a joke.

But what about now?

Yamazaki Tetsu, whom she usually didn't take seriously, suddenly made her feel a chill towards Lin Mo.

She even had a vague suspicion that this might be a warning from Lin Mo.

He used Tetsuya Yamazaki, the general manager of Yaryu Bank, to appear in response to his probing of the other party.

the other side.

Just as Ayako was lost in thought, Tomoko Suzuki put down her knife and fork and spoke in a very calm tone.

In my opinion, there are only three reasons.

"First: Lin Mo and Yamazaki Tetsuya have a personal relationship, and this was Yamazaki Tetsuya's personal assistance operation."

"Secondly: Lin Mo is either an illegitimate son of the Yaling family, or he is a confidant of the Yaling family, which is why he was able to mobilize Yamazaki Tetsu."

"Third: And the worst kind!"

"Yamazaki Tetsu, a confidant of the Yariya family, has secretly defected to Lin Mo. This proves that in Yamazaki Tetsu's mind, Lin Mo is even more terrifying than the Yariya family. Otherwise, he would have no reason to betray the Yariya family."

Upon hearing Tomoko Suzuki's assessment, both father and daughter fell into deep thought.

At Suzuki's home.

Shiro Suzuki was in charge of strategy, as well as negotiation, diplomatic relations, and building relationships.

However, the internal management of all Suzuki family businesses is handled by Tomoko Suzuki, so her judgments naturally attract everyone's attention.

Followed by.

After thinking for a moment, Shiro Suzuki immediately said, "The first point is invalid. As the general manager of Yaryu Bank, Tetsuya Yamazaki is undoubtedly a trusted member of the Yaryu family."

"No one who has reached this position is stupid, especially the company being transferred today, which also involves our Suzuki family."

"He can't be unaware of his actions; our family will definitely interpret them."

"Even if we were very close, I would never let him do that!"

"Because if the Yaling family finds out, they definitely won't let him off the hook."

Tomoko and Ayako nodded in agreement with Suzuki Shiro's assessment.

indeed!

Those who reach this position are generally not fools.

Therefore, the first point can be directly disregarded!

Ayako took a deep breath and continued, "The second point is also invalid. The Hachiro family's lineage follows a Gu-raising model."

"Any illegitimate child, including a son-in-law, can stand in the public eye and openly compete for the position of heir."

"Anyone with the ability can become a tycoon!"

"If Lin Mo were an illegitimate child, there would be no need to hide it. The possibility that Lin Mo is a confidant of the Baling family is actually very low."

"Not to mention that even Yashiro Tetsuya's trusted confidants cannot be mobilized; even if his trusted confidants could be mobilized, they would not actually do such a thing."

"After all, he's dealing with the Suzuki family. If this gets out, he can't bear the wrath of the Yaraki family."

"The key issue is that it's not cost-effective!"

"Did you really take such a big risk just to scare our family?"

As Ayako spoke, the Suzuki couple fell silent.

At last.

About five minutes later, Tomoko Suzuki spoke up: "So now, after putting aside all the impossibilities, the truth should be the third one."

"This is the most terrifying type; that Lin Mo is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Therefore, let's pretend this never happened.

"We have no competitive relationship with Lin Mo, so there's no need for us to provoke someone of that caliber."

"Just ignore it!"

"Just pretend it doesn't exist!"

Upon hearing Suzuki Tomoko's words, both Suzuki Shiro and Ayako herself exchanged a glance and nodded.

indeed!

Since there is no enmity between us, the best approach is simply not to provoke the other person, no matter who they are.

Even if you can't be friends, it's best not to become enemies!

It's not that we can't win, it's that there's no need.

To put it bluntly...

It's not worth the price at all; there's no benefit to it!
