Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

After leaving the hospital, Lu Ren drove back to the office and entrusted Goro to Kuriyama Midori who had already returned to the office.

What happened next went extremely smoothly.

Now that she has no worries, Hibari lives up to the name of the Queen of Law, using tough measures and acting decisively.

By the evening she had it all done.

The two got back into the car. Lu Ren did not start the car immediately, but instead prepared to take this opportunity to have a good chat with Kisaki Eri.

"Lawyer Fei, don't you have anything you want to tell me about what happened this morning?"

"I'm sorry, I was too willful and betrayed your trust."

Even if Lu Ren didn't say it, Kisaragi planned to find an opportunity to apologize.

She was certainly wrong in that regard.

Her original plan was to finish the matter first and then take Goro to see a doctor.

But... she was too concerned and Goro's illness eventually made her lose her composure.

In the end, one wrong step leads to all the wrong steps.

"Since you already know this, I won't say much. You may have had some misunderstandings about me before. It's understandable, after all, we haven't dealt with each other very often. And my past reputation is not good enough."

"But I think that through what happened today, I should have shown you my sincerity. Your professional skills are very important to the company. Otherwise, I would not be willing to give you 5% of the shares."

"If your work status is affected because some personal matters are not resolved in time, then everyone's interests will be damaged in the end. Do you understand?"

"Um...I'm sorry."

"For example, today, your cat is sick, and you told me directly that you want to take it to the doctor first because it is very important to you. There is absolutely no problem with that. There is always work to do."

"You may want to take it to the doctor after you finish today's work. But what if there is more important work to do tomorrow? What will you do then? Continue to put it off?"

"If you have another emotional outburst then, will you say you're quitting?"

"The company hasn't officially started yet, and everything is not on track yet. If you choose to withdraw now, the losses caused are acceptable. But if you say this again in the future, who will be responsible for the losses caused?"

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Lu Ren's tone and attitude were very calm, but the more so, the more guilty Kisara felt.

"You didn't communicate with us in advance. Doing this directly will make us passive and have no idea what is happening. Especially since all this should not have happened. Do you understand what I mean?"

Kisaki Eri: "Yes. If I encounter similar things in the future, I will communicate with you in time."

"I don't know much about the law. So in your professional field, Bei Dao and I will not interfere with any decision you make. You have absolute autonomy in this regard."

"But in other aspects, if you encounter problems, please contact us in time. Whether it's me or Bei Dao."

Considering the differences between men and women, there were some things that Hibiki Eri really couldn't tell him, so Lu Ren didn't ask him to report everything.

Anyway, Bei Dao is here, and Bei Dao's opinion is his opinion.

"oh, I understand now."

"That's it." Lu Ren glanced at his phone, "There's still enough time. Do you want to go meet Brother Maori and have dinner with him?"

Lu Ren had originally planned to have dinner with Hibiki Eri today, but after learning that today was a special anniversary, he quickly gave up the idea.

Otherwise I always feel something is weird.

"No need, now is not the time."

"Well. Then go back and help me with something."

"You said."

"After you go back, help me draw up an agreement. The content of the agreement is, 'If anything happens to me, all my shares will be inherited by Huiyuan Ai.'"

"Yeah, no problem."

Fei Yingli did not ask why Lu Ren did this.

Just like Lu Ren did not interfere in her and Maori Kogoro's affairs.

There are always some things that cannot be explained to outsiders, but you have to do them.

Her task is to carry out the task assigned by Lu Ren perfectly.

"I can draw up the agreement tonight, but I'll need some proof from your side."

"Signature and fingerprint?"

"To be on the safe side, it's best to prepare everything. Signatures, fingerprints, audio and video recordings."

"We also need to record audio and video."

Lu Ren was a little hesitant about this.

If I really do this, it always feels a bit weird. If this is dug up in the future, it will definitely become his black history.

"It will be safer this way. Of course, if you don't want to, just your signature and fingerprint will be enough."

"Then sign and stamp your signature." Lu Ren made the decision and explained to Hibari Eri with a smile, "After all, I have no other relatives besides Ai. Signing this will give me an extra layer of insurance, just like you said."

"Um……"

On the way back, neither of them said a word and they sent Kisaki Eri back to the office in silence.

After watching her go upstairs, Lu Ren remembered that he actually had something to do today.

——I haven’t written the negative article I promised to Koshimizu Nanatsuki yet.

Only by getting this article published in the newspaper and ruining Shi Jin Run Ya's reputation, Lu Ren could ask Xiao You to give him a ticket to the other world.

However, it is definitely too late to publish the evening paper now. I can only write it tonight and it will appear in tomorrow's morning paper.

and also……

It has been two days since Nanatsuki Koshimizu came to Tokyo, but Lu Ren has never asked about her situation.

Originally, we agreed that after she arrived in Tokyo and settled down, she would start working under Kitajima the next morning.

But plans cannot keep up with changes. Bei Dao took a leave and went home this morning. He will not be back until next week at the earliest.

I'll go see Nanatsuki Koshimizu first, and then go home to write the manuscript.

But before that, Lu Ren took out his cell phone and called Bei Dao.

The call was quickly answered.

"Brother Ren, what's wrong?"

Lu Ren briefly recounted the series of things he and Kisaragi had done today.

From today on, their company is officially established.

"Yeah, pretty good."

After a moment of silence, Lu Ren asked, "How's the situation over there? Are you in any trouble?"

"No. I'm going back to Osaka today. Everything is going well. I'll go to Kyoto in two days."

"Really? That's good."

Lu Ren did not tell Bei Dao about the conflict between him and Kisaki Eri this morning. It was a matter that had already been resolved, and it would not be too late to talk about it slowly after Bei Dao came back. There was no need to tell her now and distract her.

"I'm doing fine here too. If you run into any problems there, remember to call me. Don't worry about it, thinking you might be causing me trouble."

"If you don't tell me about something, that would be a real problem for me. Believe me, I can handle it."

Bei Dao on the other end of the phone did not hesitate at all and promised directly: "Yes. Don't worry, I will definitely tell you if I encounter any problems."

"That's fine. Let's leave it at that for now, and we can talk again when we have time."

"Ah."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ren called Yueshui Nanatsuki again.

This time the chat was much shorter.

"Where are you?"

"apartment."

"Okay, I'll go over there now."

"Huh? Oh, fine. I'm fine."

After Lu Ren hung up the phone, Nanatsuki Yueshui jumped up from the sofa.

"It's over, it's over, the boss is coming."

She first checked her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.

But when she took another look at this apartment which was not at all clean and safe, Nanatsuki Koshimizu's heart, which had just been at ease, became tense again.

"It's over, it's over."

Shimabukuro Kimie was lying on the sofa not far away. She was wearing her nightgown, eating snacks and watching TV series.

Looking at Nanatsuki Koshimizu who was busy running around like an ant on the hot pan, she expressed her complete confusion.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's just that the boss is coming over. It's not like he hasn't been here before. Just wash the cups, take out the tea leaves from the cupboard, and pour him a cup of tea when he comes."

"Sister Jun Hui, this kind of joke is not funny at all." Out of respect for her senior, Nanatsuki Koshimizu forced a smile and then started to get busy again.

"I'm not kidding. The boss is a nice guy. He won't care about such a small thing."

you sure?

Are the boss you are talking about and the boss she has in her mind really the same person?

"Sister Jun Hui, you really didn't lie to me?" Yueshui Nanatsuki stopped mopping the floor.

"Why would I lie to you? I'm actually wondering why you're so nervous."

It looked more stressful than when the teacher visited my home.

"Because I'm a little scared of him."

"If you put it that way, I felt a little like that at first. It's okay, you'll understand as you get to know him more. He's actually a nice guy."

Shimabukuro Kimie thought for a while and said, "If I have to say, he's probably a bit of a pervert."

"A bit lewd???"

"Well, didn't you notice? The people that the boss often interacts with are mostly women, and they are all pretty women."

"Café employee Shiina Hana, you met this yesterday. Toho editor Kitajima Shino, detective Maori's daughter Maori Ran, Suzuki family's eldest daughter Suzuki Sonoko, the red-haired demon... um, the beautiful Ms. Hongzi, and idol Okino Yoko."

"Oh yeah, for a while he was very close to Officer Sato Miwako from the Metropolitan Police Department. Later on, the beautiful TV host Rena Mizunashi also often visited him at the store."

"Now we have to add you and me. You see, this is all I know, so there must be things I don't know. Isn't that right?"

Actually, if we have to say, Haibara Ai should be counted as one, and she is the one with whom she has the closest relationship.

But...she is just an elementary school student after all.

If she is included, Shimabukuro Kimie feels that it is a bit too weird, and it is very likely to mislead Koshimizu Nanatsuki and thus ruin Lu Ren's image.

"There are so many? Does he have any, I mean... um..."

"No." Shimabukuro Kimie knew what Nanatsuki Koshimizu wanted to say, "As far as I know, the boss has never been overly intimate with anyone. At most, he would pat the head, and there were very few or even almost no handshakes or hugs."

"what?"

Nanatsuki Koshimizu suddenly remembered that she had cried on Lu Ren's shoulder not long ago. So she was actually considered a member of the opposite sex who had a relatively close contact with Lu Ren?

"That's why I said that the boss is just a little bit lecherous. Actually, it's easy to understand. I also like to look at handsome guys. It will definitely make people feel more happy to deal with good-looking people."

"Then this can't be considered lustful, right?" Putting herself in other people's shoes, Nanatsuki Koshimizu felt that she was the same.

"That's why I said only a little. After all, this is the only non-flaw I can find in him. I really don't understand why you are so nervous. What bad thing did he do to you?"

"That's certainly not the case."

Although Lu Ren's actions on the uninhabited island were a bit rough.

But to define it as a bad thing is really heartless.

"I just think he's a little scary. A really scary kind of thing."

"Oh."
