Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Tokisaki Kurumi and the others also have to go to Seigaku to practice tennis.

Four girls in luxurious fitting long dresses came down the car and immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Many of the people who knew more about the matter lit up with joy when they saw the black-haired young man getting off the car behind them. This guy is here too?

After dealing with those who wanted to come up and strike up a conversation, Li Xuan brought Sonoko and the others to Suzuki Tomoko, who was dressed like a noble lady and still as charming as ever.

"Aunt Tomoko, good afternoon, long time no see," Li Xuan greeted Suzuki Tomoko.

He cannot treat this person the same way he treats Zenjo Aoi, because Suzuki Tomoko has a good relationship with Li Xuan's mother Li Qinghe. The two even arranged a marriage for Suzuki Sonoko and Li Xuan, so Li Xuan's attitude towards Suzuki Tomoko will be closer.

When Suzuki Tomoko saw Li Xuan coming over with his little daughter to greet her, she paused her communication with the wives of several other group partners and introduced Li Xuan's identity to them.

Among these people, Li Xuan was a little surprised to find that there was someone he was quite familiar with, the daughter of the Heartfilia Railway Group in Northern Europe, Lucy Heartfilia. Li Xuan would often see her and Erza and the others coming to the villa to play.

The noble lady in front of him now was Lucy's mother, Leila Heartfilia.

The development of the Heartfilia Group in Northern Europe has entered a bottleneck stage. In addition, Mr. John in Northern Europe does not pay much attention to railways. The railways in the most central cities are still old-fashioned railways left over from more than a hundred years ago.

Although the Heartfilia Group won the bid, John, seeing that the Heartfilia Group was just a group with no big background, immediately gave it a lot of discounts, on the grounds that the railway plan proposed by the Heartfilia Group was too expensive and would take too long.

Although Heartfilia's own railway technology is indeed incomparable to Daxia's ultra-modern technology, it is still very popular in Northern Europe. Jude, the president of Heartfilia Group, is very clear about the reason why he is embarrassed by Mr. John. In the final analysis, it is because the backrest is not good enough. Mr. John in Northern Europe has tried it when he has the chance, but their appetite is too big.

Jude had to put aside the development of Heartfilia temporarily and maintain the status quo, then turned his attention to the east and took great pains to arrange for his daughter Lucy to enter Kyoto High School. As long as Lucy could find a strong enough backing for Heartfilia during this period, Heartfilia's expansion would be able to proceed smoothly.

Jude's wife, Leila, was also aware of her husband's troubles, so she took the initiative to come to Sakura with her daughter, and soon got to know Suzuki Tomoko and others who were at a similar level.

Today, Suzuki Tomoko invited herself to attend the exhibition of their family heirloom, the Dark Star. Of course, as her best friend, Leila knew better. Suzuki Tomoko wanted to take this opportunity to catch the Sakura Kaito Kid who dared to target her Dark Star.

"Hello, Mrs. Leila, you are worthy of being a woman who can give birth to such an outstanding girl like Lucy. Lucy inherited your beauty," Li Xuan greeted Leila with a smile.

Leila was a little flattered to see Li Xuan greeting her, but when she heard what Li Xuan said, it seemed that her daughter Lucy had a good relationship with him, a charming smile immediately appeared on her pretty and dignified face.

"Thank you for the compliment. If Lucy knew about Master Li Xuan's praise, she would probably be so happy that she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight," Leila covered her mouth and chuckled.

Suzuki Tomoko next to him patted Li Xuan's shoulder, pretending to be a little dissatisfied, and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you little brat, you look pretty good now. Leila is really beautiful. Am I, your aunt Tomoko, ugly?"

Li Xuan didn't mind Suzuki Tomoko's behavior. When he was a child, Suzuki Tomoko often did this until he and his mother left Xiaoying and returned to Daxia.

"That's not the case, Aunt Tomoko. Sonoko and Ayako are first-class beauties. If Aunt Tomoko goes out with them now, people who don't know them will probably mistake them for sisters," Li Xuan responded with a smile.

Suzuki Tomoko nodded with satisfaction after hearing this. She often heard this, which was obviously a compliment, but it depended on who said it. If it came from people like Suzuki Shiro, Suzuki Tomoko would not take it to heart at all; but Li Xuan was different. Whether in terms of status or appearance, Li Xuan surpassed their satisfaction.

"You're smart, I'll let you go. Did Sonoko tell you what happened tonight?" Suzuki Tomoko withdrew her hand and asked.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "I heard from Sonoko that Aunt Tomoko is planning to catch Kaito Kid?"

"That's right, he actually dared to set his eyes on my Suzuki family's heirloom. This phantom thief will spend this New Year in a cell in the Metropolitan Police Department," Suzuki Tomoko clenched her fist and vowed.

"Mom, I support you," Suzuki Sonoko's interest had been ignited at this time.

Chapter 315 Conan, You Are Still Young

"Heirloom?" Li Xuan was skeptical about the statement that the Black Star was the heirloom of the Suzuki family.

When Suzuki Tomoko saw Li Xuan's suspicious look, she was about to reach out her hand, but Li Xuan pulled Sonoko between them and said, "But, as far as I know, the Suzuki family seems to have quite a lot of heirlooms."

"Hehe," Suzuki Tomoko was discontented when she saw her little daughter being hugged by Li Xuan with her face blushing. She had never seen this girl blush like this before.

However, Suzuki Tomoko still started to explain, "The Black Star is of course one of the heirlooms of our Suzuki family. It will also be Sonoko's dowry in the future. You have to contribute tonight. If Kidd succeeds, it means you will have one less thing in the future."

Li Xuan scratched his head and said, "Well, although it is not a valuable item, if it is mine, it would still be very troublesome if someone wanted to take it away without my consent."

When Suzuki Sonoko saw her mother say that the Black Star was her future dowry, her face turned red again and she looked at Li Xuan with a little anticipation. Li Xuan also understood and tightened his hand with Sonoko's five fingers.

Suzuki Sonoko smiled very happily, let go of her hand, and then held Suzuki Tomoko's hand. She just remembered that she didn't need a dowry, after all, she already had more gold than the bank.

Li Xuan saw Suzuki Sonoko let go of him and was chatting with Suzuki Tomoko and the others about women's private matters. He had no interest in eavesdropping, so he said something to them and took the Toosaka Rin sisters to the observation deck.

Xiaolan was also not around. She just saw that her father Mouri Kogoro had also come, and of course, there was also Conan, who was now very attached to Mouri Kogoro.

Conan also accidentally heard that Kogoro Mouri was going to participate in the operation to capture Kaito Kid tonight, so Dr. Agasa went on a business trip again (actually just returned to the laboratory), and Kogoro Mouri had to take this kid with him. He didn't understand how this kid's family could let him stay in the home of someone they could hardly take care of.

Today is the Suzuki family's banquet. As Sakura's consortium is close to the richest man, the Suzuki Group's banquet ranking is still very luxurious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Not long after coming in, Kogoro Mouri saw his daughter. The luxurious dress she wore, the price of which could not be estimated at a glance, and the simple yet luxurious jewelry on her body made Kogoro Mouri feel that his daughter was indeed very lucky.

After knowing that it was because of her, Xiaolan gave up her time to accompany Li Xuan. Maori Kogoro was even more moved and slowly told Xiaolan the reason why they came here tonight.

When Conan saw Xiaolan, his detective's keen insight made him immediately notice the luxurious dress and jewelry Xiaolan was wearing. He even speculated that these were more precious than the Black Star tonight.

The most likely person who could have caused these things to happen to Xiaolan is the man named Li Xuan.

After Conan went back last time, he called his father and asked him to investigate Li Xuan's identity. Unexpectedly, he received a call from his mother Kudo Yukiko in the evening. The call said that Kudo Yusaku left a message saying that he would help investigate some unsolved cases and would disappear for a while. Conan's request could only be discussed later.

When Conan first heard the news, he didn't find it strange. His father's reasoning logic was very tight and he was often invited to assist the police in solving cases.

But a week later, Kudo Yukiko called again and told Conan that Kudo Yusaku seemed to be missing. Inspector James, who had the best relationship with him, had a high authority, but he had never seen any record of asking Kudo Yusaku for assistance.

At this time Conan also found something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now Xiaolan's matter made Conan suddenly have an intuition that his father's disappearance seemed to be closely related to the man named Li Xuan.

But where should he start? Conan thought hard and decided to start with contact. Xiaolan and Sonoko often left in a car that had never appeared in the Suzuki Group before, so Conan planned to start with Xiaolan to test her.

Then, as for the angle, he looked around and easily found Li Xuan, who was smiling and talking to two beautiful girls on the observation deck. Li Xuan's peerless appearance was so recognizable that Conan thought of a solution immediately, so he pulled Xiaolan's sleeve.

The touch transmitted back from his hand made Conan's understanding of Li Xuan's mystery deepen to a higher level. The touch of this fabric was incomparable to the most expensive fabric he had ever touched.

"Sister Xiaolan, didn't brother Li Xuan come with you? Why is he chatting with the two sisters now?" Conan asked with an innocent expression.

Xiaolan was chatting with her father Kogoro Mouri and telling him that Li Xuan was very caring and considerate to her, when she suddenly felt her sleeve being pulled. She looked down and saw Conan's innocent expression and simple words.

"Well, Conan is curious about this? Let me think about how to say it." Xiaolan poked her smooth face with her fingers, looked at Li Xuan and her two good sisters, as if she thought of something happy. A faint blush appeared on her face, and there was a smile from the heart.

Finally, Xiaolan came up with a reluctant explanation, "Xuanjun came with my sister, but he also came with those two sisters, and your sister Sonoko."

Conan immediately grasped the key information, "Ah? Is it possible to come with so many sisters? Didn't we learn in elementary school that people cannot steer two boats at the same time?"

When Xiaolan heard what Conan said, she reached out and rubbed his puppy head, then said, "That's an ordinary person. Xuanjun is not an ordinary person. He deserves many ships. Also, Conan, I remember that elementary school does not teach these. I want to give feedback to Professor Agasa and ask him to report this issue to your campus."

"You are still young, it is not appropriate for you to know these things."

Xiaolan's words made Conan feel like he had punched the air, and then the air slapped him twice, which was very uncomfortable.

"Sister Xiaolan, I'm not a child anymore," Conan protested solemnly.

Then Kogoro Mouri punched Conan on the head. He didn't have a good impression of this kid who interrupted his conversation with Xiaolan, "You little kid, aren't you still a kid?"

Chapter 316: Everyone Has a Dark Star

While Conan was receiving the Iron Fist education from Kogoro Mori, Li Xuan on the other side was hugging the slender waists of Rin and Sakura Toosaka on the observation deck, and the Black Star was placed in a security crystal glass cabinet.

Toosaka Rin and her sister Toosaka Sakura held Li Xuan's big hands, leaned their pretty faces on Li Xuan, and introduced their knowledge of gemstone craftsmanship to Li Xuan while looking at the black star on the stage.

"Xuan Jun," although Toosaka Rin's face flushed, her eyes were still on the Black Star. She quickly discovered something wrong. Then a light flashed in her eyes. She instantly saw the problem with the Black Star and whispered something in Li Xuan's ear.

"Hmm? What's the matter, Rin?" Li Xuan was teasing the slightly shy Sakura Toosaka. After hearing what Rin said, his attention turned to her. Sakura Toosaka also looked over when she heard her sister's words.

"The black star in the cabinet seems to be fake. Although it is a gem, its quality is very average. Its color, texture, and structure are all very average," Toosaka Rin told Li Xuan about her discovery.

Toosaka Sakura also looked over carefully at this time, and then nodded to agree with her sister's opinion, "Xuan Jun, my sister is right, this black star on the stage seems to be fake. If someone has studied gems for a long time, they can quickly tell that its appearance has traces of artificial carving, and the black star is purely naturally formed."

After hearing the two people's summary, Li Xuan nodded, then hugged the two of them slightly in the middle, and told them Suzuki Tomoko's plan when their faces turned a little red.

The main plan of tonight's banquet is to catch Kaito Kid, so Suzuki Tomoko came up with a good idea to make many copies of the Dark Star. Everyone present will receive one, and the real Dark Star is also among them. If Kaito Kid still hasn't got the real Dark Star by the time the deadline comes, Suzuki Tomoko will then make public Kaito Kid's letter and tone down the mystery of this exaggerated thief.

After hearing Suzuki Tomoko's plan, the Toosaka Rin sisters expressed their admiration, and also thought that this method was very effective because no one except Suzuki Tomoko would know who the real Black Star was.

The time is 6:10 pm.

Because the banquet was at eight o'clock in the evening, and Kaito Kidd's letter said that when the moon separated the two, I would be there in the name of the Dark Star, if you were invited to the waves.

The people from the Metropolitan Police Department who had been invited in advance and Kogoro Mouri had already received the contents of the letter and were thinking about the location where Kaito Kidd appeared. Kaito Kidd had committed crimes in other places in Sakura and even abroad. He would always notify the target in advance and then successfully take the things and leave in style despite the target's full defense.

He has not violated the contents of his letters so far, but no one has been able to fully decipher the information in his letters and catch him in time.

Conan, who was following behind Kogoro Mouri, was also thinking. As for the matters of Xiaolan and Li Xuan, he put them aside for the time being. His detective instinct was already burning.

He is also very interested in the Phantom Thief Kidd, and has been looking for an opportunity to catch and expose him.

"When the moon separates the two? The moon can separate people? What does this mean?" Everyone at the Metropolitan Police Department was thinking about the clue left by Kidd.

Li Xuan and the sisters Toosaka Rin did not waste time on this. For Li Xuan, any related gem he picked out at home was worth countless times more than the Black Star. The sisters Toosaka Rin were the heiresses of the Gem Group, and there were gems in their home that were more precious than the Black Star.

The time soon came to past seven o'clock, and the waiter had already started arranging things like food for tonight.

At this time, several waiters came into the banquet, holding small boxes in their hands and delivering them to each guest.

Tomoko Suzuki walked up to the banquet stage with a smug look on her face and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a black star in the box in your hands right now."

After hearing what Suzuki Tomoko said, many people showed a look of surprise, and then subconsciously opened the box, and saw that there was indeed a gem inside that was exactly the same as the Black Star. There was no difference from the appearance alone.

"Everyone, tonight is the Suzuki Group's Black Star exhibition, but before that, we received a letter from a thief who said he would take the Black Star away here at 8 o'clock tonight. The thief's name is Kidd."

"Now, among the gems in your hands, there is a real black star. I hope you can keep it well. Later, after we catch Kidd, I will prepare gifts for you. It will be a small event at the banquet."

Tomoko Suzuki announced some of her plans on stage.

When everyone heard Suzuki Tomoko's plan, they all nodded in agreement. Considering the situation, using this method of passing off fake things as genuine was the most effective way to protect the Black Star.

Among the guests, not many actually came to see the Dark Star. Many people came just to deepen or find new connections at this banquet.

Now in the banquet, many people's eyes were on Li Xuan, who was being held by the arms and leaned on by the two daughters of the Tohsaka Group.

Many people did not expect that such a big shot would appear at a Suzuki Group banquet.

Those who returned to their husbands from the circle of noble ladies including Suzuki Tomoko told them the new information they had learned.

When they learned that the second daughter of the Suzuki Group was actually engaged to Li Xuan, they couldn't help but show extreme envy in their eyes. At the same time, thinking back to the information about Li Xuan during this period, these people inevitably thought of Li Xuan as a playboy.

Although playboy is a bad word in the eyes of ordinary people, this word will change in different classes.

After all, human society is composed of a variety of properties, among which interests are undoubtedly the most important one. Many of the guests present have already left the class of ordinary people. If they want to continue to move up, in addition to banding together for warmth and joining forces, another shortcut is to directly cling to someone else's thighs.

And Li Xuan is the big shot that they usually try their best to meet and offer their allegiance to.

Not to mention the distant past, just the information that has been covered up now, but has been kept by those who are interested, after the young master of the Xia family came to Xiaoyinghua, several merchant alliance groups in Xiaoyinghua have experienced explosive growth, and the two that have seen the biggest changes are Rect and Longwei Transport.

Chapter 317 Searching for the Phantom Thief

Many people here in rect know the reason. Takeshi Yuuki gave birth to a good daughter. Not only is she good-looking, but she is also favored by Li Xuan. On the day when Takeshi Yuuki announced the holographic stealth technology, Li Xuan acknowledged Yuuki Asuna's identity as Mirai in front of the camera of the reporter. They had already guessed the surge in rect.

The result was not surprising. Rect has now left the Merchant Alliance and is close to the threshold of a third-rate consortium. Rect is now accumulating wealth crazily, and Rect will not end at a third-rate consortium. With Li Xuan here, Rect will start as a third-rate consortium.
