"Xia Ye, you're just spoiling her. You'll regret it if she gets too pampered!"
"how come!"
Xia Ye smiled and shook her head.
The original "Detective Conan" series has over a thousand chapters, and even Ran's character has had her moments of inconsistency, but Sonoko's character has remained consistently strong. Apart from being a bit of a fangirl, she is approachable, kind, sincere, and full of energy, making her a character that Natsume really likes!
Now I have myself.
Even the infatuation has disappeared!
Remove the headband, and your beauty will be unleashed.
She's practically the perfect young lady!
What Ayako said is completely unfounded!
"Oh my, Natsume trusts our Garden Girl so much!" Ayako Suzuki squinted, a mischievous smile on her pretty face.
"Of course!"
Xia Ye nodded decisively.
Then I saw Sonoko's dark green eyes instantly become tender and affectionate, as gentle as water~
......
The three chatted for a few more minutes.
We talked about Ayako Suzuki's schedule for today.
"I registered a film company today!"
Ayako Suzuki smiled faintly:
"Although I invested in Chika's film, it was produced by another company. I plan to set up my own film company, sign Chika, and make a film that is entirely my own!"
“Xia Ye, Ayako is a very stubborn girl—”
Tomoko Suzuki, who was watching TV on the other side of the sofa, glanced at her eldest daughter and snorted:
"Toho Co., Ltd. is wholly owned by our family. I asked her to manage it, but she refused. She insisted on starting her own film company, saying she wanted to start from scratch. It infuriates me!"
"Mom, I just want to try it myself. If it doesn't work, I'll give up!"
Ayako Suzuki quickly explained~
"What do you mean you can't! I personally trained you, you're much better than your stupid sister, how could you not be good enough?!"
Tomoko Suzuki raised her eyebrows:
"Did the Tomizawa family say something to you? I remember the investigation report said their family is very patriarchal!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Sonoko rolled her eyes. What did I do to deserve this? They were exchanging glances with Natsume, why did they have to bring me up?
Ayako was also speechless. You've said everything, so do you support me or not?
but--
"I did discuss it with Yuzo, but he doesn't support my idea. He even said—" Suzuki Ayako pouted, utterly speechless, "that after we get married, I'll be a full-time housewife..."
"What words!"
Tomoko Suzuki's pretty face was ashen, and she said coldly:
“He’s just insecure. The dividends from the shares I gave you in a year are more than the entire income of his whole family. He must feel uncomfortable about it. I told you before that people from small families have no vision, but you wouldn’t listen, Ayako. Fine, I’ll go and cancel the engagement in the next couple of days! We’re not going to put up with this!”
"mom!"
Ayako quickly stopped her:
"You need to consider our family's reputation!"
"Humph!"
Tomoko Suzuki snorted coldly, recalling her conversation with her daughter. The opportunity hadn't arrived yet, and it would indeed be inappropriate to break off the engagement now.
"Okay~"
Ayako Suzuki comforted her mother.
Suddenly, her pretty face lit up with a smile as she looked at Xia Ye and asked:
"Xia Ye, what do you think?"
"What are you looking at?"
Xia Ye was wondering how a normal conversation had turned into talking about annulling the engagement when she heard Ayako Suzuki ask a question, and she was taken aback.
"Of course it's about women going out to work after marriage. Do you agree or disagree?"
"This!"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and said:
Do you know what my dream used to be?
"what?"
The consensus among the log holders is that Xia Ye's "before" can be generally assumed to refer to the time travel period.
The mother and her two daughters were all very curious!
"Back then, my dream was to marry a capable, strong woman. She would work outside to earn money, while I would play video games at home. When she came home, I would massage her back and legs, and serve her tea and water. That's how it was!"
"Pfft——!"
It was indeed Xia Ye's dream.
The mother and her two daughters couldn't help but laugh. 2.2
It really suits Xia Ye's personality. Didn't he previously boast in his diary that he had hooked up with Sonoko, this rich woman?
"So that means you support women going out to work after marriage?" Ayako Suzuki opened her eyes slightly, a hint of joy in her beautiful, watery eyes.
"Of course!"
Xia Ye smiled and said:
"What era are we living in? There's still this outdated idea that women must stay at home to be good wives and mothers. That's feudal dross and should have been swept into the dustbin of history long ago!"
"Hey, that's right!"
Xia Ye thought of her identity as a "Dream Investor." Although the rewards for this identity were all in money, which she didn't need urgently, she could still do it on the side!
"what happened?"
Ayako Suzuki asked curiously.
"Ayako, I know you're not short of money, but can your film company accept my investment?"
Xia Ye said:
"Consider it my support for your career!"
Ayako Suzuki was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized that this was a mission for the "Dream Investor" identity.
If you accept it yourself—
That's equivalent to doing a collaborative task!
"Sure, I'll accept your investment!"
Ayako Suzuki had previously only avoided taking on collaborative tasks, but she wouldn't refuse one that came to her!
"I want to vote too!"
Sonoko raised her hand with a grin.
She realized it too!
"Ahem, Ayako is starting her own business, so I'll invest a little bit too!" Tomoko Suzuki said with the expression of a loving mother concerned about her daughter's career.
Ayako Suzuki rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking to herself: "As expected of my mother and sister. You weren't this supportive before, but now that it's time for a co-op mission, you suddenly want to invest?"
Chapter 147 Elena's On-Site Experience
Ayako Suzuki has indeed lost her right to inherit the throne.
But as the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, her assets are comparable to those of a medium-sized conglomerate, based solely on her share dividends and the allowance given to her by her mother.
Money meant nothing to her; she didn't even know how much money she had in her bank account.
So it doesn't matter how much Xia Ye invests, even if it's only 100 yen, as long as it can trigger the collaborative task!
As for my mother and sister.
Those two who're just here to freeload on the co-op missions, we should definitely squeeze them a bit more money out of them. Of course, they probably won't even care.
After agreeing on the terms.
Xia Ye and Suzuki Ayako started talking about movies.
He didn't really have much of an idea about plagiarizing movies from Earth and bringing them to this world.
However, the future virtual world plans to create instances like the Marvel universe, the Investiture of the Gods universe, and the One Piece universe, which will require complete scripts. Relying entirely on artificial intelligence for generation is unrealistic, so we need to plan ahead.
"Summer Leaves~"
Tomoko Suzuki, who was watching TV, spoke up to remind her:
"Watch TV~"
"Ok?"
Natsume, engrossed in her conversation with Ayako Suzuki, turned to look at the television. On the screen were Toshiro Odagiri, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, and Kiyoshige Matsumoto, Superintendent of the First Investigation Division. Both men wore solemn expressions, performing the actions most adept at by Japanese officials—
bow!
"The Metropolitan Police Department acted pretty quickly!"
Tomoko Suzuki said with a smile:
"Because of the Moonshadow Island incident, the previous promotional plans have been temporarily shelved. However, we can officially begin now. Look how many times these two mentioned your name at this press conference!"
Xia Ye nodded.
This press conference was a special press conference for the Moon Shadow Island incident. In addition to reporting the details of the annihilation of the Moon Shadow Island smuggling group, the Metropolitan Police Department overturned the verdict of suicide in the Moon Shadow Island arson case twelve years ago and apologized to the families of the victims.
The entire press conference was indeed handled flawlessly.
Their attitude was also very sincere.
only--
There's one name that seems to appear a bit too frequently, which makes people very curious: who exactly is Officer Akiyama Natsuha, who solved the Moon Shadow Island smuggling group and uncovered the truth behind the Moon Shadow Island arson case twelve years ago?
When did the Metropolitan Police Department produce such a brave and resourceful young officer?
"And that's not all~"
Tomoko Suzuki handed over her phone, her light blue eyes full of smiles.
Xia Ye took it and looked at it.
It is the official website of the Nichiri Shimbun.
The top news story was a summary of the Metropolitan Police Department's recent work.
The article praised the Metropolitan Police Department extensively, then subtly steered the conversation towards Xia Ye, focusing on his heroic performance in the abandoned factory and his solo annihilation of a pro-independence group on Moonshadow Island.
Especially Tsukikage Island, which was described as if the author was actually there. It was clear that the author had an emergency interview with Sato Miwako in the afternoon, and even asked the Metropolitan Police Department for a lot of photos of the scene. The author then rushed to write the article, and after a quick review, it was published.
"This is, after all, a professional media outlet; their writing is relatively subtle. Take a look further down~"
Tomoko Suzuki smiled slightly, her delicate face showing great interest; she was clearly very interested in this matter.
Xia Ye swiped the screen.
really!
Below are reports from related small and medium-sized media outlets.
These media outlets don't have the same integrity as the Nichiuri Shimbun. Suzuki Tomoko paid them, so they lavished praise on Natsume, using every compliment imaginable. They were very skilled at their job!
more than this.
