Conan: Starting out by living with a divorced older sister

After that, he left without looking back.

Watching Maori Kogoro's departing back, Xiaolan complained loudly, "He must have gone to that nightclub in Ginza to see the boss lady again! Really~ I hope the boss lady finds someone soon! And the target is not you!"

After having dinner with Conan, Xiaolan picked up the phone and called Eri Kisaki, telling her in detail what happened in "Water Crystal" today.

He also emphasized how Murong Zhen shot and subdued the suspect.

"Mom, do you know? When Dad shot you, he was actually saving you!"

"Silly child, of course mom knows!"

"Ah? You know? Didn't you run away from home because you misunderstood your father because he shot you?"

"Of course not. It was because I cooked dinner for him with an injured leg and he complained that the food I cooked was not tasty. I ran away from home in anger. Later, I became a barrister and we have been like this ever since."

"Well, although mom's cooking was indeed terrible, dad shouldn't be so inconsiderate. If he was half as gentle and considerate as Ah Zhen, mom wouldn't have left."

"By the way, Mom, Azhen and I wanted to get the marriage certificate several times, but we always encountered various problems, such as traffic jams and serious traffic accidents, emergencies, or system failures at the registry office. Azhen and I don't dare to go to get the marriage certificate. I think it's because we haven't received your blessing in person. Do you think you two should find time to meet?"

"Is that so? Of course, Mommy sincerely wishes you well. But Mommy is very busy recently. How about you wait a little longer? Is that okay?"

"Okay, there's no rush anyway. Even if we get married, I don't plan to move in with him for now. I still have to take care of Dad. It's actually pretty good for Zhen to come over occasionally. Mom, you don't know, he only stays for one night... It's nothing, I just want to say that it's pretty good now, we're no different from a normal couple..."

"Yes, Lan, you are still in college, so... have you made any preparations? You are still young, so there is no need to rush some things."

"I... I know... but he doesn't seem to like it, and I think it's better this way. So let it be, I can accept it! Mom, you haven't seen him, you don't know, he..."

Xiaolan used all the positive and commendatory words she knew to describe Murong Zhen.

After chatting about some family matters, they expressed concern for each other, said good night to each other, and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Hibiki Eri sighed and thought to herself: Silly girl, how could mom not know how good he is? It’s because she knows that I’m troubled!

Sister, you really gave me a difficult problem. It would be nice if you were still here. As Xiaolan's aunt, I might be able to make it easier for her to accept my presence. But now, I don't want her to suffer the pain of losing her mother, nor do I want her to bear the moral and ethical pressure. If I didn't have the baby in my belly, I might have left with great pain, but I really couldn't bear to let him be without a father at birth. I... What should I do?

Ginza, Towako Nightclub

"Welcome! Mr. Mori~", the two concierge ladies greeted Kogoro Mori sweetly.

Kogoro Maori is a frequent customer here and a loyal fan of the proprietress Towako Okano. People in the store are naturally very familiar with him and appreciate and admire Kogoro Maori's character.

"Huh? Why is the store so busy today? There are a lot more people than before."

"It's like this, Mr. Maori. Our boss, Ms. Towako, is planning to retire. These few days will be her retirement farewell ceremony. All the consumption of old customers will be recorded in her account, so some old customers want to cherish the last few days when she is here."

"Retire?! What's the reason? Aren't you doing well?"

"The lady boss didn't say it explicitly, but some people have guessed. I'm telling you this, don't tell anyone else," the concierge whispered.

"Our boss lady suddenly blossomed like a peony. Her appearance, figure, and temperament have all improved a lot. I heard from people who have been here that she must have found love. Moreover, she is wearing a ring on her left ring finger, so everyone guessed that she must have met her ideal husband and is planning to take care of her husband and children. It is not suitable for her to show up in public anymore, so she has the idea of ​​retiring."

"Mr. Maori, Mr. Maori, what's wrong with you?"

"No... It's okay, I'm going to go see Ms. Towako and say goodbye to her..."

Looking at Maori Kogoro's dejected figure, the concierge said to another person, "Look, here comes another one like this. The boss lady has hurt many people invisibly. Especially, the way she looks now, these men must be going crazy after seeing her! I dare say that during the days when the boss lady is having her retirement ceremony, the store should be packed with people every day."

"Yeah, I don't know which man is so powerful that he can even win over our boss's wife and make her willingly retire for him. Especially now, the boss's wife's skin feels so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. I also want to be nourished by love."

"Go and dream your dreams, hahaha~"

"You're annoying! I can't compare to the boss lady, but I'm not bad either~"

"Welcome! Mr. Matsumoto~"

"Welcome! Mr. Suzuki~"

"Welcome! Mr. Tatsumi~"

"Welcome! Mr. Okamoto~"

"Welcome! Mr. Odagiri~"

"Welcome! Mr. Tokiwa~"

"Welcome! Mr. Harutsuki~"

"Welcome! Mr. Shiratori~"

"Welcome! Mr. Gu~"

"Welcome! Mr. Arata~"

"Welcome! Mr. Moroboshi~"

"Welcome! Mr. Takizawa~"

"Welcome! Mr. Jiang Shou~"

"Welcome! Mr. Kikukawa~"

"Welcome!..."

Chapter 368: Bright Stars

An apartment somewhere in Tokyo

"Hubby, take a break, let's chat for a while~"

"Well, you guys are just using delaying tactics~"

Nana Koyama snorted and gave him a fierce look to express her protest.

"Honey, on the way back, I received a message from Towako-sister. She is currently holding a retirement ceremony at the Ginza nightclub. To give back to old customers, she is offering them 7 days of free meals."

"Yeah, I know. Her current status is not suitable for her to be in the spotlight in a nightclub. Not only is her schedule reversed, but it is also full of people of all kinds and it is not safe. It is not a good environment for her or the future baby."

"A baby? What baby?"

"Of course it's the baby she and I will have in the future. Why? Don't you want it? I can accept that. After all, you have the freedom to have children. I will definitely respect your ideas. However, I don't accept being bound by anything!"

"Yes! Of course! I like children very much~", Nana couldn't help but reveal an admiring expression.

"Were you just having wild thoughts again? I am not just playing with you, and you are not hiding from the public. You can stand in the sun as Mrs. Murong. The reason why I did not make my identity clear to you is that I want you to know more about me, my life, and my situation, so that you can still regret it. If you enter the door of the Murong family, there will be no regrets! So, don't be anxious, think it through slowly!"

"I've already put the ring on my finger and have given my body and soul to you without reservation. I'm sure I won't regret it!" said Nana Koyamauchi in a firm tone.

"Hubby, if I really want to leave, will you let me go?"

"Ok?"

"Alright, alright, no more jokes. You said you wanted to let people choose, but you didn't even give them the option to leave you! How bossy!"

"Honey, after we get married, can I still be a model?"

"Of course, modeling is not an improper profession. There are only dishonest people who want to take shortcuts. However, in our Butian Group, you don't have to worry about such problems. We put character and ability first, and there won't be any messy unspoken rules or anything like that."

"So, you are really the boss of Buten Corporation? President Yukiko's husband!"

"Yeah, don't I look like that?"

"Like! Very much like! Only you can be worthy of such a sexy, beautiful and outstanding Yukiko. It's just that you are too young, so I can't believe that you can create such a big industry!"

"Will Sister Towako also join the Buten Group?"

"Yes, based on her abilities, I have assigned her the position of Director of Publicity Department. It aims to promote the company's image and products, and also serves as a public relations function to handle external relations. As for personnel, I believe she will have the right person. I have given her full authority. What? Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't have it. I don't have the ability of Sister Towako. As far as I know, her fans include not only officials, but also people from the Metropolitan Police Department, banks, and many large families. The key is that although they have admired Towako for a long time, they all respect Sister Towako very much and never force her with power or money. They are even willing to provide her with necessary help and escort her career.

Therefore, it is absolutely perfect for her to be the director of the publicity department. She is like a fish in water."

"This is her own request. Since she likes it, I can only oblige her. You don't have to think too much about it. Don't think that if you don't do anything, you will become a vase. There's nothing wrong with being a vase. At least it looks good!"

"I can understand Sister Towako. As far as I know, there are many female executives with the last name Murong in the group. Now it seems that they are all sisters in the family. It is said that they are good-looking, have good figures, good temperament, and strong abilities! They have made great contributions to the development of the group. How can we, the latecomers, not feel the pressure? Even if you don't say anything, the sisters won't say anything either, but no one wants to be the one who has done nothing and made no achievements."

"Okay, okay, anyway, I started the company just to find something for you guys to do, so you can do whatever you want. So what do you have in mind?"

"It's just a preliminary idea. The time is too short. I haven't thought about it systematically yet. I just had some ideas."

"Well, it's okay, just tell me."

"I want to form a model team that is independent of other departments in the company. I want to recruit and train a high-quality team of models. Externally, they can participate in various fashion shows and exhibitions. With a little training, they can be backup dancers at concerts. I can also form a special cheerleading team to cheer for our company's sports events. Internally, they can serve as front desk, concierge, reception, explanation, etc."

"Yeah, that's good! Very thoughtful and constructive! I support you. When the time comes, I will ask Yukiko from Butian Entertainment, Towako from the publicity department, Jinghua from human resources, Gino from Butian Sports, Youliang from the finance department, and our executive president Eri to fully support you!"

"I'm still thinking about the necessity of male models...Husband, what do you think..."

"Forget about the male models! There's no need for that. The guys from our security department will do... They're all very handsome!"

"That's fine, but husband, are you sure those people in the security department are young men and not uncles?"

"Are there no such thing as guys in their 40s? Just tell me if they are handsome or not!"

"They are handsome, but the key is that they have a kind of tenacity and meticulousness. They make people feel safe."

"Of course, I found it specially. OK, let's get back to the model team. Have you thought of any nice names?"

"Bright stars! How about that? I want every member of the team to be as bright and dazzling as the stars. Let them be proud to be a member of the Bright Stars."

"Bright Star? Hmm, that's great! That's settled then, you must form it as soon as possible!"

"Honey, why do I think you're so excited?"

"Is there...really? I'm just happy for the thriving development of our company."

"Okay, when I form a team, do you want me to come over and give you a heads up, or even give you a hand?"

"Really?! Is this appropriate?!"

"Of course it's not appropriate! Look at your lustful look now. If someone doesn't know, they would think they are choosing a concubine for you. You scared people away!"

"Oh, I'm just saying. I don't have that much free time. You can decide for yourself. By the way, you should have a good rest."

"Humph! I think you just want to take this opportunity to retaliate against me! Don't worry, if you meet someone who is particularly beautiful, has a good personality, a good figure, good character, and is self-disciplined, I will introduce her to you. Is that okay~"

"Look at what you said. Who do you think I am? But then again, instead of throwing pearls into obscurity, don't you think it's a very good choice to gather them together and let them compete with each other and shine?"

"As ordered!"

"Honey, I'm rested~"

"Honey, maybe I understand my sisters' situations, experiences and thoughts a little bit? I can have a good rest today."
