Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

"Okay, that's it."

Lu Ren hung up the phone. "It is now obvious that the producer lied."

"Yeah. I understand." Maoli took out his phone again.

"Brother, are you ready to reject them?" Lu Ren asked.

"Yeah. Such dishonest people are not worth cooperating with."

Hearing this, Mao Lilan looked unbearable, but did not object again.

The call was quickly answered, and Mauli made it clear what he meant.

Then he hung up the phone directly. After listening to Lu Ren's analysis, he no longer wanted to listen to these people's quibbles.

After turning down the show, Mao Li's face improved a lot. He looked at Lu Ren and said, "You can stay here for dinner tonight. Let's have a drink. Xiaolan, please stir-fry some dishes. Do you have enough ingredients at home?" ?If it’s not enough, go out and buy it.”

With that said, Maori took out his wallet.

"Yeah." Mao Lilan nodded and pulled Conan out of the office. She knew that her father was not in a good mood right now.

This is normal, and it is the same for anyone who is tricked.

As soon as they went out, Kogoro Mouri's cell phone rang again.

He glanced at the caller ID, and a look of boredom suddenly appeared on his face.

"Is it the production company calling again?"

"Yeah. Blocked. It's okay, don't worry about them." After Mao Li performed the operation, he put the phone away again.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door of the office.

"You came back so soon? Did you not get the key?"

"I guess so, I'll open the door."

"No, just sit down."

Mao Li walked to the door of the office. As soon as he opened the door, Lu Ren heard a very anxious male voice coming from the door, "Mr. Mao Li, I haven't been able to get through your phone, so I..."

"No need, I made it very clear on the phone." Maoli had no intention of letting him in, and was about to close the door again.

"Mr. Maori, please give us another chance. At least let us know the reason for your rejection of us." Another equally anxious female voice came from outside the door.

"Oh, that's fine, then come in."

Chapter 496 Bullying men and dominating women

"Tea, please."

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, please."

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?!"
