Science: The Little Shota of the Maori Family

The essence of a businessman is to make money. With such a good opportunity now available, Shiro Suzuki naturally would not refuse.

After finishing his work talk, Tetsuji Tomizawa talked about the children of the two families: "Ayako is really outstanding. She won the gold medal in the violin competition. If I had a daughter like her, I would wake up laughing in my dreams at night."

Suzuki Shiro stroked his mustache and smiled: "As Ayako's father, I am also proud of her."

"By the way, does Ayako have a boyfriend?" Tetsuji Tozawa suddenly asked.

Suzuki Shiro was slightly stunned, stopped stroking his beard, and looked at Tomizawa Tetsuji: "Brother Tetsuji, do you want to introduce a boyfriend to Ayako?"

Tomizawa Tetsuji no longer hid his feelings: "What do you think of Yuzo?"

"Yuzo," Suzuki Shiro pondered, "Yuzo is indeed a good kid, but I don't know what Ayako herself thinks."

Tomizawa Tetsuji smiled and said, "Ayako is almost of marriageable age. If Ayako and Yuzo can be together, it will be a closer relationship for our two groups, don't you think?"

Suzuki Shiro nodded slightly: "Then I will discuss this matter with Uchiko and Ayako."

"Then I look forward to good news, Brother Shirou."

……

The party didn't end until nine o'clock.

After seeing off all the guests, Suzuki Shiro sat down on the sofa with a tired look on his face, leaned against the back of the sofa, and closed his eyes in meditation.

"What did Tetsuji Tozawa say to you just now?" Tomoko Suzuki walked over, sat down next to Shiro Suzuki, and asked curiously.

Shiro Suzuki said, "The Tozawa Group has made an important breakthrough in a biotechnology they're developing, and he asked me if I'd be interested in joining."

"That's good news." Suzuki Tomoko smiled and said, "Why do you look so worried?"

Suzuki Shiro pinched his brows and said, "The problem is, Tozawa Tetsuji has taken a fancy to Ayako and wants to bring her together with his son Yuzo."

Suzuki Ayako was silent for a moment: "What do you think?"

"The Toizawa Group is just as powerful as us. Becoming an in-law with the Toizawa family would be very beneficial to the Suzuki Group. I also know Yuzo. Unlike his two brothers, Toizawa Tetsuji will probably let him inherit the Toizawa Group in the future. I'd feel more at ease if Ayako stayed with him."

Suzuki Tomoko's face darkened slightly. "Are you trying to trade your daughter's future for the interests of the Suzuki Group?"

Seeing his wife's expression change, Suzuki Shiro quickly denied it. "How could that be possible? I was simply evaluating Tomizawa Yuzo. If Ayako doesn't like him, I won't force her. Although the Tomizawa Group has new scientific research technology, we are also developing a beauty cream. Once the research is successful, the strength of our Suzuki Group will definitely be further improved."

After hearing what Suzuki Shiro said, Suzuki Tomoko's expression softened slightly and she nodded, "Anyway, let's ask Ayako for her opinion first."

"I think so."

As they were talking, Suzuki Ayako and Sonoko came over.

Suzuki Ayako changed into her home clothes and saw that her parents' eyes were on her. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong?"

"Ayako, your parents have something to tell you." Suzuki Tomoko pointed to the sofa opposite, asked Suzuki Ayako to sit down, and then asked, "What do you think of Yuzo?"

"Mr. Tomizawa?" Suzuki Ayako was stunned, not understanding why her parents suddenly mentioned him, but she still said truthfully, "He's a very kind brother."

"Are you willing to get along with him?"

Suzuki Ayako blinked blankly: "Mom, what does this mean?"

Suzuki Shiro simply said: "Your uncle Tomizawa wants to match you and Yuzo, so he wants to ask for your opinion."

"Dad, you guys don't want to force my sister to marry Tomizawa Yuzo, do you?" Sonoko interrupted, saying angrily, "I don't agree. This is too unfair to my sister."

Suzuki Tomoko slapped Sonoko on the head. "What nonsense are you talking about? With the strength of our Suzuki family, do we really need to do that? Your father and I just think that Yuzo is a good kid. If Ayako doesn't mind, you can try to get in touch with him. If you really don't like him, Mom and Dad won't force it."

Suzuki Ayako was silent. She had not expected her parents to suddenly bring up her lifelong affairs today, which caught her off guard. Her only good thing was that she seemed to have control over her own feelings.

She is not against Tomizawa Yuzo, but she also has no desire to get in touch with him. She doesn't know what kind of boy she likes, but it's definitely not someone like Tomizawa Yuzo.

She took a deep breath and finally said, "Mom and Dad, please tell Uncle Tomizawa for me. Mr. Tomizawa and I might be more suitable to be friends."

This is tantamount to rejection.

Suzuki Shiro didn't force it. Although he felt a little regretful, he still nodded and said, "I understand."

174. Aunt Yoshida wants to talk to me about something?

Beika-cho, the villa of the Tozawa family.

Tetsuji Tozawa sat on the office chair in his study, and said to the phone with a look of regret: "Is that so? It seems that Yuzo is not so lucky. Since Ayako already has someone in her heart, let's just forget about this matter. When Ayako gets married in the future, don't forget to send me an invitation...Okay, that's it for now, goodbye..."

Tetsuji Tomizawa put down the phone, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and a sinister flashed in his deep eyes.

At the same time, the Mori family.

While Xiaolan was taking a shower in the bathroom, Toru Watanabe was talking on the phone with Akemi Miyano.

"You said that the man named Ishida Daisan worked at the Tozawa Group for five years before joining the Suzuki Group?"

"That's right." Miyano Akemi's voice came from the phone: "And Ishida resigned without any warning. He just said he wanted a change of environment."

Watanabe Toru scoffed, "The Tozawa Group is the top group in Wano Country. Resigning with such a reason can only mean two things: either he's crazy, or someone gave him the confidence to resign. By the way, was Ishida poached from the Suzuki Group?"

"No, he was hired through the normal process."

"So it seems that the one who gave him the confidence was most likely the Tozawa Group."

"You mean, he's an undercover agent sent by the Fuze Group?"

"No, this is just my guess. We still need evidence to prove whether he is an undercover agent of the Toizawa Group. There is no need to investigate this matter any further. The truth has sunk to the bottom of the sea with the death of Ishida Daishan. There is no point in continuing to spend time on this."

"I see."

The next day, morning.

At the Maori family's dining table.

Xiaolan served a bowl of rice to Watanabe Toru and Maori Kogoro, then sat down and said, "Dad, Xiao Toru, I have a karate training at school after school today, so I will be back later..."

"Huh? Then what about dinner for me and Xiao Tetsu?" asked Kogoro Mouri casually.

"I made some sandwiches and put them in the refrigerator. You can just heat them up when the time comes."

No wonder Xiaolan got up much earlier than usual today. Watanabe Toru thought to himself, he had to make breakfast, prepare lunch boxes for school at noon, and sandwiches for dinner.

Xiaolan is the model of a good wife and mother.

After breakfast, Toru Watanabe and Xiaolan went out to school together.

……

Didan Primary School, Class B, Grade One.

As soon as Watanabe Toru sat down, Ayumi came over and said, "Little Toru, my mother asked me to tell you something."

"Huh?" Watanabe Toru was stunned: "What did you say?"

"Well...she asked you to stop by the bakery after school. It seems like it's something at the store."

"About the store?"

Watanabe Toru became more and more curious.

He gave Mrs. Yoshida great power and made her fully responsible for everything in the store. In this case, she still had problems to discuss with him?

"I understand." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Could there be a new cake for Xiao Che to try?" Yuan Tai, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help swallowing.

He knew that Ayumi's mother worked in a bakery, and that bakery belonged to Toru Watanabe, which meant that Toru Watanabe could eat all kinds of delicious bread and cakes every day.

It’s enviable just thinking about it.

"That's impossible, Genta." Mitsuhiko said from the side: "If that's the case, just let Ayumi bring her to school, there's no need to let Xiao Che go there at all. I think there must be something else..."

Mitsuhiko's idea coincided with Watanabe Toru's. Mrs. Yoshida came to him because she must have encountered something that she could not decide.

After school, Toru Watanabe went to the bakery.

Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Haibara also came over out of curiosity and other ideas.

In the store, Mrs. Yoshida was busy.

"Aunt……"

"Mother……"

Hearing the shouts, Mrs. Yoshida turned around and saw Watanabe and his group. She smiled and said gently, "You're here."

Ayumi asked her mother for credit: "Mom, I brought Xiaotetsu to you."

"Thank you, Ayumi." Mrs. Yoshida said with a smile, turning her gaze to Watanabe Toru.

"Auntie, what do you want to talk to me about..."

Watanabe Toru was about to ask Mrs. Yoshida why she was looking for him, but he caught a glimpse of Genta staring at the cakes in the glass display case without blinking. He couldn't help but laugh and changed the subject, "Auntie, give Ayumi and the others some cakes."

· ········Request flowers·· ·········

……

Ayumi and the other two were happily eating the cake. Although Haibara was holding some cake in her hand, she kept her ears perked up, listening to the conversation between Watanabe Toru and the others.

"Xiao Che, there's actually some problems at Xiangzi's home." Mrs. Yoshida grabbed the hand of the waitress Eguchi Xiangzi and sighed, "Xiangzi's father is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for treatment, so she wants to advance three months' salary. I can't make the decision on this matter, so I wanted to ask for your opinion, Xiao Che."

It turned out to be the case.

.... ..... 0

Watanabe Toru's gaze fell on Eguchi Kaori, who was biting her lips nervously, with helplessness and confusion written all over her face.

Watanabe Toru smiled slightly: "Sure."

"Really?" Mrs. Yoshida said happily, "Do you want to discuss this with the boss?"

The boss refers to Toru Watanabe's uncle.

Jiangguchi Xiangzi's eyes also brightened instantly.

Watanabe Toru shook his head and said, "No need. I can make the decision on this kind of small matter myself, and my uncle will support my decision. Sister Xiangzi, if you have any difficulties, you can talk to Aunt Yoshida. I hope my uncle can recover soon."

"Thank you, Watanabe-kun." Eguchi Kaori bowed deeply to Watanabe Toru, her voice choking with emotion. "I will work hard to repay your kindness."

"Auntie, you may have to work hard for a while." Watanabe Toru said to Mrs. Yoshida with a smile.

Mrs. Yoshida tucked her bangs behind her ears and smiled brightly: "It's okay, I'm the store manager, so it's my duty to do more."

After finishing his work with the employees, Watanabe Toru looked at Ayumi and the others who were eating with gusto and asked, "Auntie, are there any new cakes coming out recently? I want to take some home to try. It just so happens that Xiaolan won't be back until late today, so my uncle and I can eat them together with sandwiches."

"Huh? All we can eat at Che's house tonight is sandwiches." Mrs. Yoshida pursed her lips and suggested, "Why don't you go to Auntie's house to eat tonight?"

175. There is Sister Sonoko in front and Aunt Yoshida behind

After talking to Kogoro Mouri on the phone and telling him that he would not be home for dinner that night, Toru Watanabe went home with Mrs. Yoshida.

After arriving home, Mrs. Yoshida changed into home clothes, let Bu Mei spend time with Watanabe Toru, and went straight into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Hey, Che, let's watch TV together." Ayumi turned on the TV: "It's Kamen Rider's time to play now."

"Oh... okay." Even though he had no interest in Kamen Rider, Toru Watanabe had to sit on the sofa and watch cartoons with Ayumi absent-mindedly.

An hour later, Watanabe Toru suddenly sniffed and sat up straight: "What a nice smell..."

Ayumi sat up as well. She felt a little hungry due to the aroma.

Mrs. Yoshida came out of the kitchen and placed the dishes on the table. Then she took off her apron and said to the two little ones watching TV in the living room, "Toru, Ayumi, it's time to eat."

Toru Watanabe and Ayumi couldn't wait to run over.

The table was filled with stuffed peppers with meat, vegetable salad, clam soup, and freshly fried karaage chicken nuggets that exuded an aroma that would excite your taste buds.

Watanabe Toru's appetite was aroused. As he sat down, he did not forget to flatter Mrs. Yoshida: "Auntie, you are so amazing. You can make so many delicious dishes."

"Then Xiao Che should eat more." Mrs. Yoshida served the rice with a gentle smile: "By the way, why don't you sleep at Auntie's house tonight?"

Watanabe Toru hesitated, the scene of that night flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel moved: "Then I'm sorry to bother you, Auntie."

"That's great." Hearing that Watanabe Toru agreed to stay overnight, Ayumi's dark eyes sparkled with excitement, and she said happily: "This way I can go to school with Toru tomorrow."

The little girl has a simple mind and thinks that going to school with the person she likes is a very happy thing.

At night, Ayumi's room.

Watanabe Toru, who was lying on the bed, turned sideways and called Ayumi, who was sleeping next to him, softly: "Ayumi, are you asleep?"

No response was heard.
