Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 496 Bullying men and dominating women
  "Please have tea."

The two people in front of me are actually uninvited guests, and no one will care whether they care about hospitality or not.

Lu Ren just felt the perseverance of these two people, so he made them a pot of black tea.

After being blocked from the phone call, most people should know the appropriateness and choose to let go.

However, these two people did not give up and continued to persist. To put it harshly, they were stalking each other.

If they are not persistent by nature, it is because they have reasons why they cannot give up and must persevere.

"Thank you, sorry for your troubles."

The president of Somei Planning was very polite. His hair is fluffy and curly, especially when he lowers his head slightly, it looks like he is wearing a big hair ball.

His facial features are not bad if you look closely, but this hairstyle is a bit too detracting. If he was born with this kind of curly hair, that would be fine.

But if you wear this kind of hairstyle specially the day after tomorrow, it would be a bit inappropriate.

At least for the president of a company, his hairstyle will make him look unsteady and he may not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

People nowadays are very busy and time is precious. If the first impression is not good, then you can only say bye.

You can't expect a person who can't even take care of his outside to have much inside.

He may really have it, but no one can afford it and have no interest in it.

The lady sitting next to President Somei seemed much normal compared to him.

The word normal is not quite right to describe her.

If anything, it was that when Lu Ren saw her for the first time, he instantly understood why Brother Maori, who had been so firm before, chose to change his tune.

This woman named Kuzumi Maiko is the kind of beauty that is rare to see even in the world of science.

Of course, this rare sight is aimed at ordinary people.

The women Lu Ren sees and interacts with most often are rare beings who can directly debut as stars.

So when he saw Kuzumi Maiko's appearance, he was only slightly surprised for a moment, and then he forgot about it.

The same is true for Mouri Kogoro. Out of gentlemanly demeanor, he has always had a good attitude towards beauties.

But this also depends on the occasion and the person.

For a person who has deceived him, his only tolerance is to let them in and give them a cup of tea. No more is possible.

The two cups of tea on the table are both hospitality tea and farewell tea.

Once the tea has cooled, it's time to leave.

Fortunately, Somei Shogo also knew this. After thanking Lu Ren, he immediately asked for the specific reason.

If there is any inconvenience on the Maori side, they are willing to help and try to find a solution.

If there is something they have not done well, I hope Maoli will point out the problem directly face to face so that they can prescribe the right remedy.

The attitude can be said to be quite sincere.

It's a pity that Maori doesn't accept this trick, "because you are not honest enough."

"Mr. Mori, why do you say that?" Kuzumi Maiko was very anxious, "I think we have shown enough sincerity. If you talk about other aspects, we may not have done enough. Our company is indeed small, but In terms of sincerity, we are definitely..."

"Maiko, stop talking."

Somei Shogo interrupted his subordinate's speech. When he heard the word integrity, he already knew the problem.

The employees don't know the inside story. As the boss, there is no way he doesn't know the inside story.

Somei stood up and bowed deeply to Maori, "Mr. Maori, I'm very sorry. This is my personal behavior. Maiko didn't know about it, so please don't mind her offense."

"It's not offensive." Mao Li wanted to say something more, but in the end he just waved his hand, "Forget it, you go. Don't worry, I won't publicize this matter. No need for gifts or anything like that. "

Mao Li pointed to the gift box placed on the coffee table and motioned for them to take it away.

Inside the gift box is a bottle of expensive high-end sake. President Somei had obviously done a certain amount of homework before coming to visit and knew what Mori liked.

Kuzumi Maiko was quite critical of this at first. It is true that this show is important to them, but there is no need to stoop to this level.

Especially the current operating situation of their company is not very good. In Kuzumi Maiko's opinion, such expenditure is a waste.

Now after listening to the conversation between Mori and Somei, she realized something was wrong.

"Thank you for your understanding. As for the wine, we don't need it. No one in our company drinks."

There is no reason to send a gift to someone's door as an apology and then take it back.

"President, what is going on?"

"Let's talk when we go back. Don't bother Mr. Mori here anymore."

When he entered, he could already see the side dishes and wine glasses on the table. It was just put away temporarily after they arrived.

"Um……"

The two of them had just walked to the door of the office, and Mao Lilan came back just at this time.

"Ah, Mr. Somei, Miss Kuzumi..." Mao Lilan was a little surprised by the arrival of the two.

"Well, hello." Somei returned a somewhat reluctant smile, and asked Mao Lilan to come forward before leaving with his subordinates.

After they left, Lu Ren started to clear the table, while Mao Li looked at the gift box on the table. After confirming that it was genuine, he couldn't help but sigh: "This gift is really a bit heavy."

"It depends on how he views his company's reputation. If he really cares about reputation, this gift is not too heavy."

When he mentioned this gift, Lu Ren could clearly see the pain on the president's face.

But he still chose to keep this gift. From this point of view, the president is actually a pretty good person. At least he is someone who knows how to be powerful and values ​​his company's reputation.

"Actually, I'm the same as Lan. When we met yesterday, their first impression was quite good. They were sincere and organized. But I didn't expect..."

Looking at the sake on the table, Mori sighed.

"I guess there are some unavoidable reasons. In fact, it's easy to guess. For example, they are not doing well right now and they urgently need to film a show to relieve financial pressure."

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, Mao Li's attitude was obviously shaken. In fact, he has a relatively high level of empathy, otherwise he would not have taught a girl like Mao Lilan to be too kind.

"But it's true that they lied to you, brother. Many murderers may have their own reasons, but if they are wrong, they are wrong. They betrayed your trust and deceived your feelings."

Lu Ren put the tea set away, "If it were me, this matter would be over. They apologized, I accept it, and we no longer have anything to do with each other."

Mao Li sighed again. When Lu Ren said this, he immediately felt compassion.

"At least let them take the wine back. I haven't opened this wine yet. Since they are not doing well and the invoice is still there, they can return it now and save a fortune."

"They haven't gone far, it's not too late to make a call."

"Let me deliver it." Mao Lilan took the initiative to stand up after putting down the ingredients. "If we call because of this matter, they will definitely not come back. Since they have not gone far, I will definitely be able to catch up with them."

What are you talking about, silly kid...

"Lan, have you ever considered that they came by car?"

"Ah..." The latter instantly turned into beet-eyed.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy.

Lu Ren couldn't help but shook his head secretly. They were really a family of extremely kind and loving people.

Why drink in this atmosphere? Even if I drink, I am drinking drunkenly.

What Lu Ren hates most is drinking alcohol.

Because the more I drink, the more bored I become.

Drinking can never relieve sorrow.

"That's all, let's take down the wine."

"But..." Mao Lilan was a little anxious after hearing this.

Conan reacted instantly and quickly removed the outer packaging of the wine bottle.

It must be admitted that his mind is much more active than Mao Lilan.

"An Xin, all he wants is to make money by filming a show. For the sake of this bottle of wine, I will give him this opportunity."

"Brother Ren, you're so kind." Mao Lilan suddenly became energetic, "I'm going to cook two more dishes for you."

"What?" Lu Ren raised his eyebrows, "If I don't say this, are you going to let me drink on an empty stomach?"

"No, how is that possible? I mean..."

Looking at Mao Lilan who was so anxious that he even used body language, Lu Ren smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Go quickly and remember to cook some more special dishes for me."

"Uh-huh!"

"Brother, please call them now and resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Ten minutes later, the two came back again.

"Mr. Mori, if it's about wine, there's really no need."

"I'm not looking for you." Mao Li pointed at Lu Ren, "It's him looking for you."

"Sit down." After gesturing for the two of them to sit down, Lu Ren handed President Somei a business card, "I am Lu Ren, a reporter from Dongbao."

"Are you the pen of God?!"

Somei was more afraid than excited. After all, this person has always had a bad reputation. Something like that was done some time ago.

Rumor has it that this man is ruthless and will retaliate for his anger.

Somei had also heard someone mention that this divine pen had a good relationship with Detective Mori.

But what exactly does it mean to have a good relationship? Somei didn't really care about this. In their social circle, if they can talk to each other, it actually counts as a good relationship.

But he never expected that he would actually bump into the Divine Pen himself.

Especially after he deceived the Maori detective and was found out.

Is this person calling them back now because he thinks their gifts are too light, so he wants to give them an ultimatum?

Let them be mentally prepared to wait for death.

If I had known earlier, I should have bought more expensive gifts, if I had known earlier, my apology should have been more sincere, I shouldn't have taken chances, I shouldn't have pretended not to know at the beginning, and forced the Maori detective to take the initiative to bring the matter to light.

If I had known...he shouldn't have panicked like this in the first place...

Endless regret began to gradually gnaw at Somei's heart. While heartbroken, he almost lost the ability and courage to speak out.

Whatever Somei Shogo can think of, Kuzumi Maiko can also think of.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Please, please forgive us."

Compared to the president who was immersed in work, she was exposed to more miscellaneous information, and she was more aware of the terrifying aspects of Lu Ren, or God's Pen.

No one who was targeted by him was spared.

Losing money and avoiding disaster is a luxury hope.

It was him who forced Okino Yoko to break up with her boyfriend because he fell in love with her.

But even so, this pen of God was still not satisfied, and finally forced Yoko's ex-boyfriend to "commit suicide" and died in Okino Yoko's home and in front of Okino Yoko.

Yes, the police characterized this case as suicide. But whether it was suicide or homicide, only they know the truth.

After this person got tired of playing, he extended his claws to the TV station's popular female host Shui Wu Reina.

After being targeted by him, the latter disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until a month later that the latter called the TV station and said that due to physical reasons, he had to resign from the TV station.

The popular female host of a generation has left her most beloved position forever.

This is only what she can know, and it is on the surface. What she doesn't know is that there will only be more hidden in the dark.

"No, Maiko is innocent. She has no knowledge at all."

Somei stretched out his hand to protect Maiko beside him.

"..."

Seeing the two people acting like they were facing a formidable enemy, Mao Li quickly figured out what was going on.

He had also heard about Lu Ren's increasingly bad reputation.

"You may have misunderstood something... Lu Ren actually..."

"No, they didn't misunderstand anything." Lu Ren interrupted Mao Li's explanation.

Language is pale and powerless in front of inner stereotypes. Lu Ren prefers to speak directly with facts.

"If you two have been acting like victims in front of me, then I don't mind letting you become real victims. From now on, sit straight for me and put away your pitiful pictures. Expression. I ask, you answer."

"Yes!"

Lu Ren: "Who came up with this 24-hour project? Is it you or the middle-level producer?"

"It's me." Somei raised his hand cautiously.

"When is the original broadcast time slot?"

"At noon...midnight."

"It seems that you also know that this project is boring."

Kuzumi Maiko said anxiously: "No, it's not like that..."

"Did I let you speak?"

"Yes, sorry."

"What is the purpose of this project?"

"To fill the void of programs that were cut in half."

"Why don't you go to Japan TV Station? Or did you try and they rejected it?"

Somei smiled bitterly and said: "It is impossible for a large national TV station like Japan to cooperate with us."

"What about Dongdu? Its scale is not small, so why does it fall in love with you?"

"That's because..." Somei struggled for a moment and finally said, "He wants to get kickbacks."

"Just like that?"

"He also wants... to let Maiko be his secretary."

After hearing the news, Kuzumi Maiko looked very surprised.

"Oh?" Lu Ren smiled, "You agree?"

"How is that possible! Maiko is an important employee of mine, and I will never give up on her!"

"Then why didn't you reject him?"

"I...I'm still negotiating with him. After this show becomes a success, everyone will benefit. This is obviously a win-win situation."

"Then I'm afraid you are overthinking. I can tell you clearly. There is no way this program will be successful. If the middle-level producer has any real talent, he can also see that this program is impossible to succeed."

"When you discussed cooperation with Zhongmu, did you also take her with you?"

"Ah."

"Then the situation is very clear. From the very beginning, the target was her, or there may be some kickbacks. He knew that this project would have no ratings when it was launched, so he insisted on these two points. Relax."

"No matter how much you try to persuade him, his attitude never wavers, right?"

Somei was silent.

"If a project is really awesome and wonderful, then it's not you who begs for it, but the producers who kneel in front of you and beg you. Believe me, they will do anything for ratings."

"Let me think about it, is he threatening you that if you don't agree to his request, he will use his own resources to block you and your company?"

"How did you know?"

Somei looked at Lu Ren with the eyes of a monster.

"Is it difficult to guess? There are only a few ways to threaten people. Then have you ever thought about how a producer who has been exposed for fraud, whose program has been cut in half, and who is unemployed at home, has the ability and confidence to block you?"

"Even if he says something, why should others listen to him? His own TV station may give him some face. Why should other TV stations listen to him?"

"If he really has the ability to influence the decision-making of a TV station of this level, then why is he still staying in Dongdu? He actually sees it very clearly. From the beginning, he was not threatening you, nor was he This ability.”

"He just knows that with your ability and level, you are not suitable for this industry at all. It's not that he wants others to target you. It's that your so-called talent is not recognized at all. People are targeting you everywhere. This In fact, it’s just your illusion. Because you don’t deserve it at all.”

"Mr. Lu Ren!" Maiko Kuzumi stood up in a hurry, "Don't you think what you said is too much? President, he has always worked hard!"

"The prerequisite for working hard is that you must have talent in this area." Lu Ren looked at her calmly, "But you, after learning what happened just now, are you still willing to speak for him?"

"Maybe this is just his one-sided statement? He has actually packaged you and sold you to the producer of Zhongmu at a price he thinks is right."

"President, he is not such a person! I believe him!"

"I like the look in your eyes." Lu Ren suddenly smiled, "It's so pure, full of fighting spirit and anger."

"In that case, I'll give you a chance." Lu Ren took out his cell phone, "It's eight o'clock in the evening. From now on until eight o'clock tomorrow night, I will give you one day. I hope you can give me some advice. A project that satisfies me.”

"If I can't do it... I don't want much." Lu Ren pointed at Kuzumi Maiko, "You will belong to me from now on."

"This, this is not fair!" Somei blushed.

"Whether it's fair or not, you actually don't have a choice. If you don't abide by my rules, your company can be dissolved the moment you step out of the room. Of course, you can also choose to give up directly. Take advantage of this On the last day, have a breakup dinner with your employees."

"President, there is no need to ask him! Let's go!"

Kuzumi Maiko forcibly dragged Somei Shogo away.

"Sure enough, she is a very good woman." Lu Ren smiled and poured himself a glass of wine.

The atmosphere in the room was a little quiet for a while.

After a while, Mao Lilan broke the silence.

"Brother Ren, is what you just said true?"

"Which one?"

"That's the one……"

"It's the part where Brother Jin wants to take over Kuzumi Maiko by force." Conan expressed Mao Lilan's innermost feelings.

"What do you mean by occupying? It sounds so ugly." Lu Ren put down his wine glass, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything to her in that way. Didn't I open a company, and I'm short of people right now."

"That's it." Mao Lilan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope they can come up with a good plan by then that will satisfy you, Brother Ren."

"hope so."
