Since Suzuki Sonoko still had TV programs she wanted to watch, after hearing Ye Gengyi's promise to go, she quickly called her sister and left.
"Brother Gengyi, I'll treat you to a big dinner next time!" said a rich lady as she paid for the train ride.
Ye Gengyi shrugged. Anyway, he wasn't the kind of person who was so frightened that he even needed to be introduced to a video game president.
After calling Dr. Ali directly and explaining that he might have to go back later today, Ye Gengyi walked towards the building in front.
The time came to half past seven in the evening.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and it was on the 24th floor of the Rice Flower Center Building.
As soon as Ye Gengyi stepped out of the elevator, he heard melodious and slightly cheerful music coming from the loudspeaker.
outside the door.
A middle-aged man, only about 1.56 meters tall, with a fat build and a mustache, was looking at this side with a smile.
"You must be Professor Ye." The middle-aged man stretched out his hands politely.
"It's me." Ye Geng nodded and reached out to hold his hand, without saying those polite words of 'just call me Geng Yi'.
Speaking of which, since he became a teacher and has been hanging out with those 'familiar' people recently, no one has called him by this name for a long time.
Hmm...it's quite fresh.
"Professor Ye, I have heard of your name for a long time. It is really brilliant to be able to come to our company's anniversary celebration this time!"
President Tatsumi said these four words "Pengpi Shenghui" in Chinese. It seemed that he was also prepared for this impromptu meeting.
"It's good that I didn't ruin your celebration arrangements." Ye Gengyi looked around, but apart from the music, he didn't find any decorations dedicated to the celebration.
"Haha, the celebration only started at 8:30, and it's not on the 24th floor," President Tatsumi explained with a smile: "Although the 24th to 36th floors of this building are our company's office areas, considering that we still have It needs to be cleaned up, so every year we choose the Italian restaurant on the 38th floor as the venue for the event.”
"I see, it will definitely be lively later."
As they talked, the two walked around to the other side, in front of the elevator marked with floors 24 to 38.
"Our company started from scratch and has developed for 20 years. In fact, our industry was not video games at the beginning. Later, after the transformation, we were spotted by Fuze Consortium, which is how we reached our current scale..."
While introducing President Tatsumi, he did not forget a little humor, "By the way, Professor Ye, you must not have eaten yet. Why don't we order some pastries and eat and chat later? You know, you want to be here at the celebration?" It’s very difficult to fill our stomachs at such gatherings.”
...
the other side.
Just when Ye Gengyi and President Tatsumi walked into the elevator.
The VIP channel on the 38th floor is opened.
A pair of young and beautiful men and women walked out.
Mao Lilan was wearing a slim-fitting dress. Both in appearance and temperament, she far surpassed most of the women in the restaurant. However, she seemed a little embarrassed when being received by the equally well-dressed waiter.
The two came to a seat by the window.
Kudo Shinichi smiled and sat across from him: "Xiaolan, are you feeling sick in your stomach?"
"No," Mao Lilan put her hand to her mouth and whispered, "Is it okay? The consumption here is quite expensive..."
Kudo Shinichi smiled and said: "Don't worry, I brought my dad's credit card and I won't leave you here washing dishes."
"Hey, you prodigal son," Mao Lilan said with half-moon eyes, "Is it possible that you have become so extravagant during the time you left?"
"Please... I won't do this," a certain detective said with shame, thinking about his life of being dependent on others during this period of time: "Besides, the kind of parents who leave their sons alone while they go abroad to live happily are the ones who lose their fortune! "
"It looks like Conan..." Mao Lilan sighed.
"Huh?" A certain detective was surprised.
What? Did you say something wrong just now?
"His parents are also abroad," Mao Lilan said: "Why, you two often send each other emails, but you don't know about this?"
"Oh no..."
Kudo Shinichi wanted to defend himself, but after returning to this body, he couldn't tell some lies even if they were well-intentioned.
"Actually, I thought Conan was you for a while..." Mao Lilan obviously didn't notice the other person's expression, and couldn't help laughing when she said this, "But it seems that I am the only one who thinks so. , like Dad, Sonoko, and Brother Sarada, none of them feel this way... Come to think of it, asking the doctor to help make a medicine that makes you smaller... Haha, isn't it silly?"
No, your IQ is almost off the charts...
A certain detective continued to laugh dryly, feeling that if he continued to talk like this, he would almost be able to confess.
"So..." Mao Lilan changed the topic, "You invited me here for dinner, what are you going to say?"
"Oh...then, that thing..."
Kudo Shinichi opened his mouth, feeling that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Are you being forced to confess again...
What if after saying it, the scene goes cold...or Xiaolan simply runs away?
no...
A certain detective gritted his teeth and decided to take control of the rhythm again, "By the way, Xiaolan, do you know that Holmes once saw... Brother Gengyi in the restaurant?!"
"ah?"
Mao Lilan looked at each other with a confused look.
Is this a new story?
Also, even if the story is good, what's wrong with you, a high school student, calling someone brother?
"No, Xiaolan, look over there..."
Kudo Shinichi realized that he had made a mistake and quickly changed his attention: "Why did he come here alone? No... Although I didn't notice it before, the waiter was clearing two sets of tableware. He must have been with someone just now. Together."
"Hey, it's really Brother Gengyi," Mao Lilan turned around and looked over, "Let's go say hello."
"Wait a moment!"
A certain detective was shocked. At this moment...if he called Brother Gengyi, an ice cube with no emotional intelligence, the already thin atmosphere of confession would definitely disappear.
Moreover, with that guy's observation skills, if he directly said: "You are here to confess."
Wouldn't he have to use his toes to dig out three rooms and one living room from the floor, and then get in?
No, you must not let that guy discover you.
A certain detective thought of this and decided to complain first:
"Um...Actually, I'm not familiar with him either. Besides, look at him standing over there, as if he's waiting for someone. If he's waiting for his girlfriend, Xiaolan, if you go over to say hello, it will be ruined. It’s about the atmosphere of the house.”
"But, it would be too much to pretend not to see it." Mao Lilan was still a little hesitant.
"Oh, don't worry about so much, anyway..."
"ah!!!"
Suddenly, a piercing scream sounded throughout the restaurant.
Kudo Shinichi stood up consciously and looked towards the direction of the sound.
Over there, it seemed to be a special elevator for a certain company. He vaguely remembered that it was marked like this on the floor map he happened to see before going upstairs.
This scream must be something happened.
But now, I haven't confessed yet. By the way, Brother Geng is here, he is here, he is there...Hey, why is that guy still drinking coffee over there? He's dead, he's dead! ! !
Kudo Shinichi roared inwardly.
"Go if you want to..." Mao Lilan said.
"Huh?" A certain detective was startled.
"I won't hide or run away like someone," Mao Lilan said: "Hurry up and solve the case. I'll be here waiting for you to come back, waiting for you...tell me what that thing is... Mr. Detective."
This atmosphere is so great...
"Well, wait for me!" Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and then he nodded vigorously.
He walked towards that direction with firm steps.
When passing by Ye Gengyi, he noticed that the other party glanced at him. A certain detective hesitated for a moment and decided to say something, "Ye...Teacher Ye."
"Well, are you done confessing?" Ye Gengyi asked.
Hiss... so cold...
Kudo Shinichi: "..."
Wait, what about the atmosphere? What an atmosphere just now!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
If time were rewinded to three seconds ago, he would have passed by this guy without stopping!
