Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 51 Manager, do you want to join the entertainment industry?
Lin Xiuyi took three eggs, beat them skillfully in a bowl, and then added milk while stirring.

The old man watched him make tamagoyaki, but his expression was a little complicated: "Maybe this is the last time to eat it, and there will be no chance to eat it again in the future."

"Have you found the person you were looking for?" Lin Xiuyi asked curiously.

"Well, I have a clue," Mr. Fujimori nodded. "I'll go check tomorrow to see if he is the person I'm looking for."

"You are really lucky," Lin Xiuyi couldn't help but say.

These past few nights, whenever the old man came to the restaurant to eat, he would ask him to help keep an eye out for a thin young man.

But the old man refused to talk about the relationship between the two parties. Besides, he didn't have a photo of the young man, so he could only roughly describe his figure and appearance.

With only this little information, trying to find someone in Tokyo, a city with a population of tens of millions, is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Xiuyi originally thought that it would take several years to find someone, but he didn't expect that the old man would have a clue in just two or three days.

Mr. Fujimori sneered: "I didn't expect it to be so easy. He's really brave..."

The tone of the voice sounded obviously a little off. Lin Xiuyi frowned and said, "Mr. Fujimori, this person doesn't have a grudge against you, does he? Are you looking for him for revenge?"

"Haha, you're overthinking it," the old man laughed. "Actually, I'm looking for him on behalf of a friend. My friend has some money deposited with him, and he asked me to help get it back."

"Is your friend inconvenienced?"

"His health isn't very good, and he's been in the hospital lately," Mr. Fujimori sighed. "I hope I can go back in time after I get the money."

The fried tamagoyaki was placed on a plate in front of the old man.

Lin Xiuyi wanted to ask for details. He always felt that there was something wrong with the tone of the old man's words just now, and things might not be as simple as he said.

But at this moment, there was a noise coming from the corner of the store. It seemed that Kogoro Mouri was arguing with someone, and Yukiko Fujimine was standing next to him.

The customers in the store were obviously disturbed and were all looking over there.

Lin Xiuyi could only put the old man's matter aside for the time being and go over to check the situation first.

"Kogoro, what happened?"

"This guy has been harassing Fujimine-san," Maori Kogoro said, pointing at the middle-aged man at the table. "She even told him she couldn't go, but he still wouldn't give in."

"What's going on?" Lin Xiuyi asked in confusion. "What's going on?"

"Well, I'm not too sure..." Maori Kogoro scratched his head, "I just heard Fujimine-san say he won't go."

Okay, you're rushing to save the damsel in distress without even knowing the situation?
Lin Xiuyi frowned and turned to look at Fujimine Yukiko, only to see that the girl looked angry and her face was ashen. He didn't know what had happened to make her so angry.

"what happened?"

Fujimine Yukiko snorted coldly: "Ask him!"

"Sir, if the service in our restaurant was inadequate, I apologize on her behalf." Lin Xiuyi, adhering to the principle of harmony and prosperity, offered, "However, this is just an izakaya. If you need anything else, please go to a more professional place."

Lin Xiuyi originally thought that this middle-aged man wanted to take advantage of Fujimine Yukiko because she was young and beautiful, but he didn't expect the other party to take out a business card from his pocket and hand it to him.

"Takashima Daiki, Kuki Agency?" "You misunderstood. I'm not harassing this young lady," the middle-aged man, Takashima, explained. "I'm a talent scout for Kuki Agency. Seeing this young lady's excellent image and temperament, I wanted to convince her to join our agency."

"You're actually a talent scout?" Maori Kogoro asked in surprise, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"No matter what, she has already said she doesn't want to, so please stop harassing her."

Lin Xiuyi said, and handed the business card back, but he didn't expect the other party to not take it. Instead, he smiled and asked,

"This lady doesn't want to go, so what about you, the store manager? Are you willing to come to our office?"

"Me?" Lin Xiu was stunned.

"That's right. Even though you're still wearing your chef's uniform, I can still tell you've got a well-trained body," the middle-aged man praised. "Add to that your handsome looks. With your looks, you'll definitely be very popular in the entertainment industry."

Lin Xiuyi frowned and remained silent. He always felt that something was strange. If the other party was really a scout, Fujimine Yukiko shouldn't be so angry.

"Hey, Mr. Takashima, what do you think of me?"

Maori Kogoro raised his arms and showed off his biceps, then turned his body sideways to show off his chest muscles.

"Can I join your firm?"

"Well..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "Your figure is okay, but your face is a little..."

While Maori Kogoro was entangled here, Lin Xiuyi pulled Fujimine Yukiko aside and asked: "Is there something wrong with this firm?"

"...Yeah," the girl bit her lip and nodded.

"I understand," Lin Xiuyi pondered, "Leave this to me, you go somewhere else."

"Hey, you don't want to agree to them, do you?" Fujimine Yukiko quickly grabbed Hayashi Shuichi's arm, "You can't agree to that, he, they are..."

"Don't worry, you've already told me they have issues, so how could I possibly agree to that?" Lin Xiu said with a smile, "Even if I want to enter the entertainment industry in the future, I'll definitely follow you, a second-generation celebrity. We can then make a movie together..."

"Who wants to take a photo with you!" The girl's face turned red instantly.

Looking at her unusual reaction, Lin Xiuyi had an idea and hurriedly leaned close to the girl's ear and asked in a low voice.

"That's it!" Yukiko Fujimine stomped her feet in embarrassment, turned around and ran away.

Shit, it’s actually true!
Lin Xiuyi crumpled the business card into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to him, then walked back with a dark face.

Kogoro Mouri on this side is still asking how he can join the Kuki Agency.

"Well, our agency's requirements for male actors are either handsome and fit, or ugly and overweight," Takashima said with embarrassment. "Your figure is acceptable, but your appearance is too ordinary. It doesn't meet our requirements."

"I can understand a handsome appearance," Maori Kogoro wondered, "but what about this ugly appearance and obesity? Can such a person act in a movie?"

"Of course, we have many male actors like this in our agency," Gao Dao said, "The former is aimed at female audiences, satisfying women's infatuation, while the latter is aimed at male audiences..."

"That's enough!" Lin Xiuyi interrupted, "Sir, if you want to eat and drink, we welcome you here. If you want to discuss your work, please leave!"
