Conan: I'm a zaibatsu in Tokyo

Chapter 68 I don't like to solve problems with the law

Kidd wasn't allowed to sleep with me last night.

After exchanging contact information, Zheng Yi let him do as he pleased.

The day after tomorrow is the day to attend the Suzuki Foundation's celebration. Early in the morning, Momiji started to fuss over Ai, changing her into all sorts of clothes.

Ai was treated like a rag doll, manipulated and toyed with by Momiji.

Ignoring Ai's pleading gaze, Zheng Yi grabbed a few strands of her hair and ran away.

Arriving at a construction company, she went straight into the president's office and placed a few strands of hair in Miyano Akemi's hand.

"I've come to see you again with your sister's hair."

Shoichi sat opposite Miyano Akemi, with Curaçao standing behind him.

"you……"

Akemi Miyano was at a loss.

She would give her younger sister a piece of her hair every time they met, because she was very worried that her sister would become a nun.

She glanced at the woman next to Zheng Yi, frowned, and remained silent.

With outsiders present, it wasn't convenient to discuss private matters with Zheng Yi.

"How is the company doing?" Zheng Yi asked.

"It's relatively stable," Miyano Akemi said.

For construction companies, a single project may take a year or even several years to complete, and there are simply no results in a short period of time.

Moreover, there are currently no problems with the cash flow; everything is normal.

As long as no accidents occur, things can be considered stable.

"Didn't you take on a few more projects?" Masaichi looked at the documents compiled by Miyano Akemi and was somewhat dissatisfied.

Akemi Miyano was stunned.

“The company no longer has the capacity to take on new projects,” Akemi Miyano said.

With only so many employees, blindly taking on too many projects is simply impossible to complete.

Zheng Yi frowned.

He had received information that someone had bought a lot of explosives from the organization.

This is clearly a setup for a major undertaking; who knows how many buildings will be destroyed and how many projects will be completed.

A golden age of man-made construction is about to begin, and Zheng Yi doesn't want to just sit idly by.

So he confronted Akemi Miyano, demanding, "Have you even been working properly? Do you still want to see your sister?"

Akemi Miyano was taken aback, then became somewhat annoyed.

She processed documents at night and inspected various construction sites during the day, which was more arduous and tiring than when she was in the organization.

I noticed that Akemi Miyano seemed a bit off.

Zheng Yi added, "If you behave well, I'll allow you to meet your sister."

"Really?" Akemi Miyano asked.

“Of course, I never lie,” Zheng Yi said.

As for what constitutes good performance, isn't the interpretation right mine?
Akemi Miyano gritted her teeth.

Although she knew this was most likely just empty promises from Zheng Yi, she had no choice but to continue.

Just like when she was in the organization, she knew that the chances of Gin letting her and her sister leave were slim, but there was no other way.

Looking at Miyano Akemi's expression, Masakazu said, "I'm not like that bastard Gin. I keep my word."

"hehe."

Akemi Miyano snorted and said to Masakazu, "So, is the company going to recruit employees next?"

“That’s right,” Zheng Yi said.

"What about the money?" Akemi Miyano asked.

Recruiting so many employees requires money to support them.

"Besides, we need money to take on projects." Zheng Yi said.

I went to Sumitomo Bank to take out a loan.

If one bank isn't enough, I'll take out loans from several more. I can't possibly spend my own money to support so many employees, can I?
Akemi Miyano said, "Then it's better if you do it yourself."

She's too insignificant; she can't borrow much money at all.

“No problem,” Zheng Yi said.

With him personally involved, no one should be reluctant to lend him money.

With Curaçao present, Miyano Akemi was unable to ask Shoichi any more questions about her sister and could only keep her feelings bottled up in frustration.

After Shoichi left Miyano Akemi, Curaçao suddenly asked:

"Her younger sister must be Ai Haibara."

“That’s right,” Zheng Yi admitted directly.

Curaçao said, "Ai seems to be afraid of me."

“Yeah, you’re cold and aloof like a killer, it’s normal for a child to be scared,” Zheng Yi said.

“Her hair and eyes look a lot like someone else’s,” Curaçao added.

Zheng nodded slightly and said perfunctorily:

"Yes, she looks a lot like the person you just met. After all, they are sisters."

Curaçao looked at Zheng Yi; the person she was referring to was a traitor within the organization.

Zheng Yi, sitting in the passenger seat, urged, "Drive! We need to go to the bank to get a loan. If you suspect she's problematic, report it to the appropriate authorities."

Aside from that idiot Gin, would anyone else come to his house to arrest someone?
Even if Rum finds out he's hiding an undercover agent for the organization, he should thank me for helping him support the organization's researchers.

Curaçao didn't say anything, and drove Zheng Yi to the bank.

However, the people at Sumitomo Bank didn't seem very cooperative. They were very perfunctory with Masakazu's words and were unwilling to lend him a single penny.

A middle-aged man in a gray suit stepped forward and said to Zheng Yi:

"Mr. Zhengyi, it's time for you to pay back the money."

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Yi's consciousness wavered for a moment.

"Pay back the money?"

“That’s right, you haven’t paid any interest yet,” the middle-aged man said.

"I remember signing contracts that always stipulated annual interest payments." Zheng looked at the middle-aged man with an unfriendly expression.

As a student of Ke Xue.

How could Zheng Yi not know how long a year is?
Now that you know this, can't you take advantage of this year to pay less interest?

The middle-aged man calmly took out a contract and said to Zheng Yi, "Based on our bank's own risk assessment, we have determined that your credit rating is extremely low, so we have changed it to monthly interest payments."

He even took out the new contract and showed it to Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi glanced at the contract twice and then tossed it aside.

The middle-aged man calmly said, "Our bank's amendments to the contract are entirely in accordance with the law."

If you disagree, you can take legal action with us.

"That's embarrassing enough." He looked at the middle-aged man expressionlessly. "Besides, what I dislike most is using the law to solve problems."

The middle-aged man felt a sudden jolt in his heart.

Then I straightened my collar and calmed myself down.

Masakazu left Sumitomo Bank to start his own business. His father was in prison, and he had no other siblings, so he couldn't take care of Sumitomo Bank.

Such a large bank as Sumitomo Bank naturally needs to be managed by its own people.

He was involved in the power struggles within the conglomerate, a fight among family members. He probably wouldn't be so ruthless as to kill people, right?
"Should we kill him?" Curaçao asked from the side.

The middle-aged man almost stood up and ran away, but fortunately he heard Zheng Yi disagree with the woman.

"No, what I hate most is using violence to solve problems."
