I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

At this moment, Suzuki Shiro was mentally calculating so fast that his brain was practically boiling. He stared at the data again and again, feeling that so much data was beyond what a human could produce. After being glared at by Suzuki Tomoko, he realized what was happening and quickly said...

"Oh yes, yes, I think so too."

Tomoko Suzuki: ?

You, a market vendor, did you not hear what I just said at all?

Tomoko Suzuki could only glare at Shiro Suzuki again.

Then she turned to look at Chen En, thought for a moment, and asked,

"As a test, I can get the Suzuki Group to allocate funds to you to establish a subsidiary."

"If you can really achieve results, I will agree to your relationship with Sonoko, and Shiro and I will train you to become the next heir of the Suzuki Group. Do you agree?"

Tomoko Suzuki agreed much faster than Sonoko Suzuki had anticipated.

However, just as Suzuki Sonoko was about to let out a small cheer, Chen En, standing beside her, replied...

"Auntie, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."

“As you know, I am an overseas Chinese. In our Chinese culture, it is very difficult to accept the idea of ​​marrying into another family. My relationship with your daughter is not because I want to become the next heir of the Suzuki Group.”

"Because I can make my company surpass the Suzuki Group within six months."

Tomoko Suzuki, Shiro Suzuki: ?

Kid, you're talking pretty arrogant stuff.

The Suzuki Group has accumulated nearly sixty years of wealth; do you think you can surpass that in just six months? Can your six months be equivalent to the Suzuki Group's sixty years? Do you think you have time-manipulation abilities?

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki's expression darkened slightly.

The atmosphere was rapidly deteriorating.

Sonoko Suzuki looked left and right, unable to think of a solution for a moment. Suddenly, an idea struck her: "Why don't I just give up my inheritance rights to the Suzuki Group? Just like my sister!"

She didn't want to inherit the Suzuki Group, and she never publicly claimed to be the heir to the Suzuki Group.

However, just before Sonoko Suzuki could speak, the door to the reception room was suddenly pushed open.

Jirokichi Suzuki's voice came in before the door even opened.

"Young man, don't be so hot-blooded!"

"Let me, Suzuki Jirokichi, deal with you!"

Chapter 447 Betting Agreement

Suzuki Jirokichi suddenly appeared outside the meeting room door at the crucial moment.

He pushed open the door to the reception room and strode in. Under Sonoko Suzuki's surprised gaze, he stood confidently behind Tomoko Suzuki, with an expression that said, "Actually, I've been Tomoko Suzuki's woman for a long time."

Sonoko Suzuki: ?

Uncle, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could you betray us too?

Upon seeing this, Sonoko Suzuki gave a resentful look.

However, Jirokichi Suzuki simply held up a finger to his lips, appearing calm and collected, which made Sonoko Suzuki's eyes show a hint of curiosity.

Tomoko Suzuki, standing nearby, was not surprised at all by Jirokichi Suzuki's judgment.

Although Jirokichi Suzuki rarely interferes in the operations of the Suzuki Group, he is, after all, an advisor to the Suzuki Group, so it is only natural that he stands on the side of the Suzuki Group now.

Tomoko Suzuki's expression was somewhat gloomy, and she was about to say a few words to Chen En.

Jirokichi Suzuki, standing behind him, spoke first.

"Young man, do you know what you're saying?"

"Don't think that just because Sonoko loves you to death and is even willing to give up her inheritance of the Suzuki Group, you can talk such big words in front of the chairman and director's wife of the Suzuki Group, and me, her advisor!"

"Do you think we would be afraid of such a threat and wouldn't dare to let Sonoko give up her right to inherit the Suzuki Group?"

Tomoko Suzuki: ?

Isn't your statement a bit too extreme?

No, Sonoko is the sole heir now. If she renounces her inheritance rights, who are you going to give the Suzuki Group to? It's too late to create a new account now. What kind of illegitimate child can Shirou possibly bring out from some island?

Tomoko Suzuki hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Although Jirokichi Suzuki is indeed on her side, his words are a bit too extreme. This can't go on. What if Sonoko really threatens to give up her right to inherit the Suzuki Group because of this?

Seeing this, Suzuki Jirokichi lowered his head and said softly,

"Tongzi, listen to my advice, let's put pressure on him, he can't handle it."

"He can't really make Sonoko give up her inheritance rights, cut ties with us, and elope with her, can he? He's just Batman, can he just disappear from Tokyo without a trace?"

Tomoko Suzuki: ?

Wait, are you saying Chen En is Batman?

No, was Bear Grylls, the guy who boarded your plane to save Sonoko, really Batman, was Chen En? If you put it that way, then Chen En could appear in two places at the same time, and it seems like he really can't be found if he runs away.

Tomoko Suzuki's expression changed several times.

She felt that Suzuki Jirokichi's words were too extreme. If such a thing really happened, she would have nowhere to cry. Even a leaky cotton-padded coat is still a cotton-padded coat, and it is also an heir. She can't really take in an adopted son to inherit the company, can she?

Shiro Suzuki, who was standing nearby, noticed something amiss with Jirokichi Suzuki's words.

He leaned closer and handed the project proposal to Suzuki Jirokichi, who glanced at it a few times, frowned, and then spoke to Suzuki Tomoko again.

“Tomoko, look, this plan is full of loopholes, it’s all empty talk and grandiose ideas.”

"Just give him some funding to start his own business. If the young man runs into trouble, he'll obediently come back and marry into the family, right? That way, even the garden owner won't have anything to say. After training this young man for a few more years, are we afraid we won't be able to find an excellent manager?"

What you said seems to make some sense, but something just doesn't feel right.

Tomoko Suzuki touched her chin.

Before she could say anything, Suzuki Shiro, who had already confirmed that Chen En was Batman, coughed twice and then said,

“Young people are hot-blooded. At worst, we can sign a performance-based agreement, so we don’t have to worry about him running away if his business fails.”

Tomoko Suzuki: ?

Are you sure such a performance-based agreement has legal effect?

Wait a minute, if the consequence of failing the bet isn't marrying into the family, but rather a large sum of money, then it wouldn't be impossible to indirectly have Chen En marry into the family to settle the debt.

I saw Suzuki Shiro, Suzuki Jirokichi, and Suzuki Tomoko whispering to each other.

Sonoko Suzuki was slightly uneasy.

She glanced at Chen En instinctively, but Chen En remained calm and composed, simply saying softly...

"Don't be impatient."

"Don't worry, Uncle Jirokichi will help us solve the problem. Sometimes, if you want to open a window, the best way is not to open the window directly, but to lift the roof first."

This is the demolition theorem proposed by Lu Xun.

For example, if you say that the room is too dark and suggest opening a skylight, everyone will definitely object. But if you propose removing the roof, they will mediate and agree to open a skylight.

Hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki was finally persuaded.

She looked up at Chen En and said,

"In that case, let's each take a step back."

"The Suzuki Group will fund your business, but you must produce results within six months. Otherwise, you will have to pay ten times the amount of our investment as a return, or abandon your original idea and marry into the Suzuki family."

"If you have no objections, then let's sign the performance-based agreement."

Why do I feel like I've been tricked?

It's probably just an illusion, or so it seems.

In the corridor, Suzuki Jirokichi raised an eyebrow and said,

"Hey, Brother Chen En, do you think my trick was clever enough?"

"The situation was reversed in an instant!"

He didn't think Chen En could surpass the Suzuki Group within six months; that was simply impossible.

But if Chen En really does it, that's fine too. After all, Chen En and Sonoko are a couple, which is also beneficial to the Suzuki Group. As for the inheritance, we'll have to wait until six months later to make a decision.

Anyway, Chen En will most likely return to the Suzuki family to marry into their family, so it's not a big problem.

Sonoko Suzuki, standing nearby, linked arms with Chen En with some concern and led him forward.

She knew that Chen En was genuinely unwilling to marry into the Suzuki family, and if Chen En really ran away with a large amount of debt, the Suzuki Group would have no way to find him. What if Chen En failed to surpass the Suzuki Group in six months and then really ran away?

Although she felt that the possibility of that was unlikely.

"Of course, we really have to thank my uncle for his great help this time."

"Six months is more than enough time."

Chen En's voice sounded incredibly confident.

In response, Sonoko Suzuki asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled.

"Ah, why are you so confident?"

"Do you really think your company can surpass the Suzuki Group in six months? Why?"

Upon hearing this, Chen En naturally answered that question.

"Because I'm batman!"

In the timeline of Ke Xue, half a year can be used as decades.

If they can't surpass the Suzuki Group, I'll eat it!
