Conan: Life between Green Plum and Skyfall

"Well, that's it. Feel free to contact me if you need anything!"

After an unknown amount of time, the conversation between Mori and Gondou ended. Mori shook Gondou's hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, okay."

Director Gondo's forehead was covered in sweat. He had no choice; he was really bleeding money this time! If Mori's sign didn't work, he would really lose everything!

"Don't worry, you should trust me, Maori Kogoro! With me here, this drama will definitely be a big hit! Besides, the higher the ratings, the more I can get, right?"

Mao Li smiled and patted Gondo's shoulder. Obviously, he was very satisfied with what the other party had given.

“Haha, yeah, I hope we have big sales!”

Gonto laughed dryly. It's true that the better the ratings, the more gross profit you can get. But even if the ratings are bad, it won't affect the gross profit!

In addition to the share of the profits, he also had to pay him a large hiring fee! This fee had nothing to do with the ratings!

The profit margins that benefited from it also shrank a bit, which inevitably made the director, who was about to vomit blood, really angry to death:

"In that case, let's go back first! After all, it's getting late, and where we live is not far from here!"

"No, no, Mr. Maori can stay here if he wants! I can just book an extra room for him!"

Moreover, we can go to the bar in the evening to discuss matters related to future cooperation!"

With the attitude of "I've already spent a lot of money, so it doesn't matter if I spend more!", Gondo gritted his teeth and made up his mind to suggest to Mori.

You know, this hotel isn't a small inn like in anime, but a big, massive one! If he hadn't wanted to leave a good impression on Maori, how could he have arranged the meeting here?

As a result, an impression was left, but it was the impression of "stupid people with a lot of money".

"How embarrassing is this!"

Maori was delighted. Apart from anything else, Yoko was also staying in this hotel!

Of course, although he was happy in his heart, he still refused on the surface:

"You can see that my daughter and this friend's child are all here. It would be inconvenient if I were to stay here alone!"

"It's ok!"

Gonto made up his mind, since he had already cut off a large piece of meat, it didn't matter if he cut off another piece:

"I can open another room for you! Your daughter and the little kid can stay here too."

"Is that so? Xiaolan, what do you think?"

Maori's eyes lit up, but he still pretended to ask Xiaolan for her opinion.

"I?"

Xiaolan was stunned:

"Is it really possible? Isn't it a bit too much trouble?"

"It's okay, no trouble!"

Gonto felt his heart bleed, but on the surface, he pretended to be generous and said:

"It's just two rooms, I can still afford it!"

"In that case, thank you for your help!"

Seeing that the other party said so, Xiaolan happily agreed.

......

"dong dong dong"

"Who?"

In the room, Xiaolan looked out the door in confusion.

"Conan? Why are you here?"

Conan stood at the door with a wronged look on his face:

"Uncle Maori might have gone out drinking with Uncle Gondo and left the door open for me. The room is locked and I can't get in!"

"Huh?! How could Dad do this!"

Xiaolan was furious when she heard this! How could Dad do this! Sure enough, next time, no matter what, he won’t be allowed to drink!

"Sister Xiaolan, can I go in for a while and take a shower?"

Conan was also helpless. Uncle Maori was still there when he went out, but when he came back, no one was in the house! He hadn't even taken a shower yet!

"You come in first!"

Xiaolan opened the door and led Conan in:

"Speaking of which, Conan, where did you go just now?"

"I saw an introduction about a karate dojo in this hotel, so I went there and took a quick look around."

Conan didn't even look back and walked straight towards the bathroom. He was sweating all over, so he had to take a good shower!

However, he did not notice that after hearing what he said, Xiaolan's eyes gradually brightened:

“Is there a karate dojo in this hotel?”

"Yes, when I went there just now, there were quite a few people inside. But none of them are as powerful as you, Sister Xiaolan!"

"Conan, where is the dojo? Take me there!"

Then, Conan, who was about to change his clothes, was picked up by Xiaolan again and walked out the door.

"Wait! Sister Xiaolan! I'm here to take a shower!"

"Let's talk about it when we get back. I'll take a shower with you then! Besides, Conan, don't you want to learn karate? It just so happens that I'm taking this opportunity to check on how the previous teaching went!"

Conan's struggle paused for a moment. This seemed to be an option, but the next moment, he began to struggle again.

"Shoes! Sister Xiaolan! My shoes fell off again!"

......

In the dojo, Conan once again fell to the ground panting.

There was no way. Although he had trained very hard, on the one hand, the proficiency he had gained in the spiritual space was too little, and on the other hand, his current physical strength was not enough to support such intense training.

Xiaolan took out a towel and wiped the sweat off her head briefly, then helped Conan up:

"Conan, you're making rapid progress! Who knows, you might catch up with me soon~"

"Xiao, Xiaolan is the one! So amazing!"

Conan was breathing heavily. During their fight just now, he had been suppressed by Xiaolan. Xiaolan smiled:

"Of course, I've been learning this since elementary school! But, my progress as a child wasn't as fast as yours, Conan~"

"Are you two also karate enthusiasts?"

Just as Xiaolan was wiping Conan's sweat, a man's voice rang out, and they both looked in the direction of the voice.

"You are, Maeda Satoshi-senpai?!"

When Xiaolan saw the person coming, her eyes lit up.

Conan also remembered the identity of this person at the right time. He was another unlucky guy like Shimazaki Yuji, who had to clean up his fiancée's ass, and he was also Xiaolan's idol.

"Isn't this hotel's feng shui bad?"

Conan complained in his heart. Otherwise, why would all these murderers and their fiancés who covered up their crimes appear here?

Fortunately, Maeda Satoshi was just excited about the opportunity and came over to say hello. Even Xiaolan's suggestion of fighting him was rejected by him.

"Sorry, Miss Maori, if we have the chance to meet again next time, I might play a game with you! But now, if I chat with you for a few more minutes, my fiancée will be jealous!"

He smiled and pointed at the girl standing beside him, bowed to the two of them, and then left.

"So, what on earth is this guy doing here?!"

Looking at his receding figure, Conan slowly typed a question mark.
