Smiling and waving goodbye to several middle-aged and elderly people, the moment they turned around, Yukinoshita Haruno's face instantly dropped, but she quickly returned to her previous smile.
I finally got rid of these old immortal things, they are so exhausting!
Although her smile returned, Yukinoshita Yono complained in her heart.
As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, Yukinoshita Harano was bound to enter politics in the future, so she did not attend high school in her hometown, but went to the private Shinma School in Tokyo in order to show her goodwill to Kansai. , I hope that I can get support from political forces in Kansai when I enter politics in the future.
The middle-aged and elderly people that Yukinoshita Harano sent away just now are the political allies of the Yukinoshita family in Nishitama City. Maintaining appropriate communication with them is a necessary task for the heir of the Yukinoshita family.
In the eyes of outsiders, political struggle is a combination of alliances, conspiracy, frame-up, and relying on scheming and government. However, the political struggle in China today is completely different. At least in Japan, political struggle relies on not wanting to Face.
Unite all those who can be united, completely put down their status, and even win over some brain-dead far-right elements. This is the power struggle policy of the former prime minister. Although it is difficult to say what he accomplished, he did hold the most powerful position after the war. One of the prime ministers, maybe even this "one" can be removed. Now he is retreating bravely in order to make a comeback in the future. Although he has resigned, no one dares to underestimate him. On the contrary, the person who is currently sitting in the position of prime minister, no one Treat him as serious.
Yukinoshita Harano is not saying that she admires Japan's longest-serving prime minister, but she knows that if she wants to become a powerful and influential politician, it is inevitable to copy the path of the previous prime minister, even if she feels it in her heart Even if you don’t like it, you still have to make friends with useful politicians.
And for this kind of thing, Yukinoshita Harano... doesn't feel hard at all!
Unlike her younger sister Yukinoshita Yukino who is not good at communicating with others, she is naturally good at this kind of thing, especially those elderly Japanese men who are very easy to understand, which makes Yukinoshita Harano handle these things with ease. Although he has not yet entered the political arena, he already has a certain degree of political connections, but it is a bit annoying to always be pestered by those old men to introduce their sons and grandsons, and the way they look at me...maybe not just because they want to Will you become their daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law?
However, even though I have become accustomed to such social situations, it is still a bit tiring to maintain this fake smile all the time. I really want to find a place to relax, but the president of the Joban Group seems to be about to start giving a speech, and it seems that it is not good to go to the bathroom.
Hey, this isn't...
Yukinoshita Harano scanned the venue and found a figure that surprised her.
She walked towards the figure with a smile, bent down slightly and said, "Um, are you the junior student Eve?"
Eve frowned as she looked at Yukinoshita Yono who was bending down to talk to her.
What does this mean, am I a child? Do you need to talk to me like this?
Eve, who has not grown at all in the past year and is still only a little over 1.3 meters tall, is very dissatisfied with Yukinoshita Harano's behavior.
But out of politeness, Eve nodded slightly: "I am Eve, but if you call me junior sister..."
Yukinoshita Yono smiled and said: "Because I am also a student of the private Kamama School, although I have already graduated."
"Oh, it turns out to be senior sister!"
Eve bowed slightly to Yukinoshita Harano.
Yukinoshita Harano was somewhat satisfied with Eve's polite appearance.
She first knew about Eve because her sister Yukinoshita Yukino was in a very bad mood for a while. She found out through some insinuation that it was because she lost to someone else in the final exam.
You know, Yukinoshita Yukino has always been targeting her sister Yukinoshita Yono. Yukinoshita Yono had learned Aikido, so she also learned Aikido. Yukinoshita Yukino's academic performance was always poor when she was in school. They were all number one in their grade, and Yukinoshita Yukino also insisted on holding on to this throne. Before the first year of high school, Yukinoshita Yukino did this perfectly, well, until the second monthly exam of the first year of high school.
Let’s not talk about the historically low scores. In that monthly exam, Yukinoshita Yukino actually came in second!
Although the school quickly removed the results of Yan Kai, who took the first place in the exam, many people suspected that the school had made a mistake in the monthly exam results, but Yukinoshita Yukino did not think so. If it was a mistake, The school can publish Yan Kai's real results. What does it mean to directly remove them? Moreover, Yukinoshita Yukino noticed that not only for that monthly exam, but also for all subsequent exams, Yan Kai's grades were not included in the calculation, making him seem like an invisible person in school.
Although Yukinoshita Yukino was confused about Yan Kai, she quickly put it behind her, because compared to the uncertain Yan Kai, another visible threat soon came, that is, as a transfer student Eve enters the private divine school.
The sister of Teacher Tiayou, who teaches biology, is not only a transfer student, but also skipped a grade to become a freshman in high school. When she took the exam for the first time, Eve's exam ranking jumped to the second place in the grade, and her exam score was only A few points worse than Yukinoshita Yukino.
You know, Yukinoshita Yukino's previous test scores were more than a dozen points behind the second place. This is the first time that someone has chased the score difference to single digits.
In the next few exams, Yukinoshita Yukino only narrowly failed, forcing Yukinoshita Yukino, who was usually not very interested in studying, to study hard, but still lost to Eve in the final exam last semester. .
Lost, completely lost!
This is the first time Yukinoshita Yukino has lost the top spot in grade without any excuse. This naturally makes Yukinoshita Yukino very frustrated, and also makes Yukinoshita Yukino, who is always paying attention to Yukinoshita Yukino, very angry.
It is absolutely unforgivable to actually make my most lovely sister in the world sad!
Although in order to make her sister self-reliant, Yukinoshita Yukino has been treating Yukinoshita Yukino indifferently, and at the same time put pressure on her so that Yukinoshita Yukino can continue to break through herself. This makes the Yukinoshita sisters' The relationship is not good, but in fact, Yukinoshita Yono loves her sister the most, and all existences that make her unhappy should be eliminated!
And just when Yukinoshita Harano had such a mood and wanted to find the existence that made Yukinoshita Yukino unhappy and then destroy it, Yukinoshita Harano softened her heart after seeing Eve's photo.
Petite and cute, with a hint of stubbornness in her indifference, who wouldn’t say cute to such a blond little lolita?
Forget it, just think of it as a training for Yukino!
Yukinoshita Yangno said to herself.
I think back then, when she was attending the private Shinjen School, there was a female classmate with blond hair and twin tails competing with her for the top spot in the same grade. It was because of her that she was able to pass the exam with her free and casual attitude in junior high school. Yukinoshita Yono, who is number one in grade, had to start studying hard and even secretly enroll in cram schools. Before the exam, she would investigate the teacher's ideas for setting questions in previous years to predict the questions in advance. In order to keep her title as number one in grade and as her older sister. She was so proud that she really tried her best. Thinking about it now makes her blood boil!
And those days of hard work finally became Yukinoshita Harano's strength. If the competitive Yukinoshita Yukino could have such a person to urge her to study hard, Yukinoshita Harano felt that this might be a good thing. Good thing.
Well, she did this entirely for her sister's benefit, not just because she was jealous when she saw other people's sisters!
Feeling that Yukinoshita Harano looked at her a little strangely, Eve subconsciously took a step back.
"But senior sister has graduated, why do you know me?"
Eve looked at the familiar Yukinoshita Harano warily.
Because of her past experiences, she was always wary of strangers. Even if Yukinoshita Yono claimed to be a graduate of a private divine school, Eve would not be able to trust Yukinoshita Yono unconditionally.
Seeing Eve's alert look, Yukinoshita Yono felt like he was seeing a little white rabbit facing a stranger, nervous and helpless.
It’s so cute, I really want to take it home and raise it!
Yukinoshita Harano used her astonishing willpower to suppress the move of reaching out to touch Eve's head, and then said with a smile: "I saw you when I went to school to visit my sister."
It's not a bad thing to be wary. There are a lot of good people in Japan. It's a good thing for Eve to be wary of people.
Speaking of which, we must find a way to remind Yukino that she can't ignore men just because she knows Aikido.
Yukinoshita Yangno said in his heart.
"Oh, that's right. I'm sorry, I misunderstood senior sister."
Eve apologized to Yukinoshita Harano, but still didn't show too much enthusiasm.
Polite, but always subconsciously alienating strangers when facing them. This is the way Eve treats others, protecting herself and protecting others at the same time.
Seeing Eve like this, Yukinoshita Yono was not disgusted either.
Compared with a certain eldest lady with blond hair and twin tails, Eve has a good temper, and she always feels that her personality is slightly similar to her sister.
Someone who is a sister-loving person can't help but find similarities with his sister when he sees a cute child.
Although Eve showed resistance to Yukinoshita Harano's closeness, who is Yukinoshita Harano? "Patients with Social Awesome Syndrome", or "Social Awesome" for short! Therefore, Eve's resistance cannot stop Yukinoshita Harano at all.
Just when Yukinoshita Harano wanted to have a good relationship with Eve, a voice suddenly spread throughout the venue.
"Thank you very much for taking the time to attend the opening ceremony of the Viridian Group's twin skyscrapers today. I would like to have a sideshow and ask you to play a little game!"
I saw a beautiful woman wearing a luxurious dress standing on the stage and speaking into the microphone.
This person is Mio Tokiwa, the president of Tokiwa Group, and also the organizer of this banquet. As soon as they heard her speak, everyone else couldn't help but quiet down and listened quietly to Mio Tokiwa. Even Kagura wanted to continue eating. They were all stopped by Yakushiji Ryoko with stern eyes.
Seeing that everyone quieted down, Mio Tokiwa continued: "This game is taken from the name of my late father Tokiwa Kinsei, and in order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Tokiwa Group, I want to play a time guessing game, that is, guess thirty. Second!"
Then Mio Tokiwa started to explain this game, that is, all the guests at the banquet began to estimate the time when Mio Tokiwa said it should start, and when they estimated it to be thirty seconds, they made a sound. There would be no error, or the person with the smallest error would be The winner of the game, if two or more people guess the time, will determine the final winner through guessing.
The final winner's reward is naturally Ford's latest convertible sports car parked in the center of the venue, and the second place also has a reward, which is an off-road mountaineering vehicle. Although it looks pretty good, it is not as good as the first place reward. It looked a bit inferior, like it was for coaxing children, but let alone, the children in the venue were really interested. After all, even if they were given a convertible sports car, they wouldn't be able to drive it. It would be better to go hiking cross-country. The car is solid, and even for children, the off-road mountain bike is very cool.
Of course, some children are not so easy to fool. Their goal is very clear, which is a convertible sports car!
"Well, it's actually this game. With Ayumi here, we can definitely win!"
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said excitedly.
They had played this thirty-second guessing game before, and Ayumi's guess was accurate at that time, so she would definitely be able to do it this time too!
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima were already excited to celebrate their victory in advance, but Ayumi Yoshida, whom they regarded as their secret weapon, was looking around, looking for her secret weapon.
"Where is Conan-kun?"
Ayumi Yoshida was looking for Conan in the crowd. The reason why she could guess so accurately in thirty seconds before was because with Conan by her side, her heart could not help but beat rapidly, and she relied on this heartbeat She estimated the time by sound, but now that Conan is not here, her secret weapon has also disappeared, which means that she can't guess thirty seconds at all.
Anyone interested in participating in this game should hand over tools that can keep time, such as watches and mobile phones. Yukinoshita Harano looked at Eve, who had no reaction at all, with interest.
"Sister Eve, don't you want to participate in this game?"
Yukinoshita Harano asked.
Although Eve didn't want to get close to Yukinoshita Harano, she couldn't help but answer her question. She said calmly: "I'm not interested."
"Are you afraid that you won't get it right? If that's the case, I can help!"
Yukinoshita Yono is still somewhat confident in estimating time. She has learned how to use her pulse to measure time.
"No, it's unfair for others that I participate in the game."
Eve shook her head.
She has the most sophisticated nano-organs on her body. When it comes to timing, she can be accurate to an unknown number of digits after the decimal point, so this game is completely unfair to her. Although the convertible sports car is very tempting, Eve doesn't know how to cut it. Greedy for this.
After hearing Eve's answer, Yukinoshita Yono became more interested in Eve.
The game started soon, and everyone who participated in the game got a small flag. After Mio Tokiwa's secretary started timing, all the people who took part in the game began to estimate the time, using the flag as the standard, and there would be employees of the Tokiwa Group next to them. Make a record.
After Mio Tokiwa's secretary pressed the stopwatch, time passed quickly, and people raised their flags one after another. Almost at the same time, two people shouted and raised the flags in their hands.
Mouri Kogoro held up the flag with a confused look on his face. He was frightened by the child who suddenly cried behind him and raised the flag.
Kasumigaoka Shiyu stared at Yan Kai with tearful eyes, and at the same time covered her waist. Just now, the soft flesh around her waist was pinched hard.
Yan Kai smiled and said silently with his lips, "You're welcome!"
Some people died, but not completely...
