Conan: I'm Not a Model Worker in the Winery

Chapter 578: Hiroki, the big boss faced by Sindra Corporation
As soon as Rei finished speaking, Akai Shuichi's figure disappeared in the monitoring room.

Lie: “…QwQ～”

Ah~Brother Blade! We are so close yet I cannot recognize you...

What a bitter Rushi (pain)!

Speaking of which, when little Akai just rushed over like that, didn’t he ever consider whether he could defeat Blade Brother?

This question only lingered in Lie's mind for a second before he threw it out of his mind - forget it, Akai Shuichi probably wouldn't be able to find anyone anyway.

Because the place where Blade Brother appeared was on the underground floor, the entrance was the passage on the left side of the venue, and the toilet was on the right side of the venue...

Well, I hope little Akai can go to the toilet properly.

……

basement one.

"Mr. Thomas, the equipment for game testing has been fully debugged. I don't think there will be any problems."

The middle-aged man who had left the control room to greet the president of Sindra Corporation had now accompanied Thomas Sindra back to his workplace.

Thomas Sindelar, Hiroki Sawada's former adoptive father.

At this moment, this man with great wealth and power does not look much different from a few years ago.

"You did a great job, Kashimura." Thomas nodded in satisfaction. "When the actual test begins, I'll need your help."

"About this... Mr. Thomas, I think the equipment up there can be taken care of by the staff. I would prefer to stay in the control room."

At this point, the middle-aged man who had left earlier felt a little embarrassed.

His name is Tadaki Kashimura, a senior programmer at Syndra. He jumped to Syndra from another company two years ago.

And Kashimura Tadaki actually has another identity - the biological father of Hiroki Sawada.

The main reason why Kashimura Tadaki switched to Syndra was because of Hiroki...

He actually felt a little regretful after divorcing his wife, but since they had already separated, it seemed too embarrassing to go back together, so he went to the United States with the mother and son. Not long after, he learned of his wife's death. While he was still immersed in grief, he learned that his son was adopted by Thomas...

Being adopted by a man like Thomas Sindra, his living conditions should not be too bad - this is what Tadaki Kashimura thought.

But because he couldn't let go, Tadaki Kashimura began to try to switch to Sindra.

Who would have thought that just a few days after he started working, life dealt him another heavy blow:
His only child died in an accident in the company's apartment!

At that time, Tadaki Kashimura was a little overwhelmed. After hearing the news, he was overwhelmed by emotions and rushed directly to Thomas' office to confront him.

Thomas Sindra was also a little surprised at that time, but it really had nothing to do with Hiroki Sawada's "death", so under his "heartbroken" narration, the truth of the matter became that a terrorist organization was hired by a hostile industry and installed a bomb upstairs as a revenge, which resulted in Hiroki's death in the fire.

Kashimura Tadaki was a little skeptical at first, and went to ask around, even asking his good friend Kudo Yusaku who was a detective, but the results he got were the same.

He was now forced to accept the fact.

——We have to recall here that two years ago, when Hiroki decided to board the Five Star Team's pirate ship and successfully developed Noah, he escaped with the help of members of the Five Star Team's American branch, faked his death, and successfully escaped back to Japan from the United States.

Naturally, in the eyes of outsiders, the genius boy Sawada Hiroki had died a long time ago...

The current Hongshu is also known by his surname Lie, and his name is 'Chiyan Hongshu'.

"You want to stay in the control room? Is there any debugging that has not been completed?"

Thomas Sindra frowned, looking somewhat displeased when he heard that Kashimura Tadaki was unwilling to supervise the game test on site and instead wanted to stay alone in this "important place" that was crucial to Sindra Company.

Kashimura Tadaki also understood that his request did not conform to the rules set by Thomas, and explained: "Mr. Thomas, maybe it's not a good idea for me to bring this up now, but... I still hope to resign from my position at Syndra."

"You want to resign?" Thomas had not expected this.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Thomas." Kashimura Tadaki said with a wry smile, "You know, I did this for Hiroki..."

The two men were still walking towards the control room while talking.

The press conference has almost started now, but there is naturally a host introducing the project, and a line of leaders giving speeches, so Thomas is not in a hurry to go up.

Thomas looked regretful: "Yes, you did it for Hiroki's child...but this product was Hiroki's wish before, don't you plan to accompany him?"

Kashimura Tadaki's expression dimmed: "I..."

He had just opened his mouth and was about to swipe open the door to the control room.

Behind me, a slightly childish voice suddenly came from the dark corridor:
"Mr. Thomas, please don't tamper with my wishes at will, thank you."

Kashimura Tadaki and Thomas suddenly froze.

The latter's face looked even uglier, turning pale in almost a second - this voice, although a little hoarse than before, was unmistakable, it was that child's voice!
Kashimura Tadaki was more shocked, because the underground control room requires a special employee card to enter, and the voice is still a child, so he subconsciously ignored the content of the words and turned around and shouted: "Hey! Who is it? Outsiders are not allowed to enter this place!"

There were light footsteps coming from the shadows, and the other party responded: "Strictly speaking, I am not actually an outsider...especially to you two."

Thomas also turned around at this time and saw the small figure gradually emerging from the darkness and appearing before them.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly as if he had seen a ghost:

"You, you are..."

“…Hiroki?!”

Thomas and Kashimura Tadaki spoke almost at the same time.

Although Kashimura Tadaki had not seen Hiroki in person for a long time, he had seen many photos of Hiroki's life after entering Syndra Company...

--Yes.

The small figure following behind them was none other than Hiroki Sawada... ahem, the real person.

"Long time no see, foster father. I'll call you Mr. Thomas now."

Sawada Hiroki smiled, not seeming to feel that he had frightened the two of them. He said calmly, "And father, I haven't seen you for a long time... Mr. Kashimura."

"... Hiroki? Are you really Hiroki?" Kashimura Tadaki's reaction was much greater than Thomas's. He was trembling all over and almost wanted to hug Hiroki and shake him. "Hiroki, are you not having a good time over there, or do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"

Hiroki: “…”

His biological father's reaction was a bit off script.

Let him rethink it...

Hiroki calmly looked at his biological father whom he hadn't seen for seven or eight years, and his heart was completely calm.

He even thought of Retsu's attitude and expression when facing Conan and Akai Shuichi, as well as the scene when Retsu and Ying were always joking around with each other in Yokohama.

The smile suddenly spread across Hiroki's face:
"That's not the case, Mr. Kashimura. I'm not dead."

“…Wh, what?”

"Well, Mr. Kashimura, I'm not here to see you." Hiroki opened his arms slightly and smiled, "I'm here outside of my personal capacity, mainly for... Mr. Thomas."

"To discuss some...business cooperation with you, probably."

Orz, I might put Schindler in the front and Sindra in the back... Since there are too many of them and they are scattered, I won’t change it qwq
