On the same day, at noon, Mitsui House
"Miss, my great master is ill tonight and I can't find anyone anywhere. Can you attend the cocktail party with the partners from Beautiful Country tonight?"
"And this time the partners have some opinions on our cooperation framework."
A middle-aged man in a smart suit with his hair neatly combed into a three-quarter length is reporting in the living room.
Wearing a long black dress and her long hair elegantly tied behind her head, Mitsui Kanon, who looked like a queen, was sitting in the center of the living room, thinking about her next move.
She played with a small knife in her hand. This sudden incident disrupted her plan. Originally, she wanted to catch the guy and humiliate him with her own hands tonight.
But now... As expected, the family business is the most important thing...
"Good afternoon, little flower~"
A casually dressed middle-aged man stretched himself and walked into the living room.
"Second uncle, how about lunch~" Mitsui Kanon didn't want to break her face before she got the real deal, so she forced out a smile and responded.
The knife in her hand was not mentioned to anyone else last night, but she only verbally punished them for not being tied tightly.
She couldn't alert the snake too early, she wanted to wait for an opportunity to uproot her.
Second uncle Mitsui Yusuke saw her frowning, so he pretended to be relaxed and said:
"Xiaohua, you haven't turned 20 this year, so you don't have to force yourself at the reception."
"I should be able to contact you over there, brother."
Mitsui Kanon hummed in her heart and asked him to find it. The good-for-nothing dad would probably leave it to him to deal with it. This guy's fox tail was finally going to be exposed.
She answered calmly on the surface:
"You don't have to worry about it, uncle. I don't need to drink to deal with these partners."
"It's good to kill them by the way."
"Is that so?" Mitsui Yusuke squinted his eyes and smiled, "Xiaohua has really grown up."
Mitsui Kanon responded without changing her expression:
"Don't worry, second uncle, I can afford this honor."
"Come on, little flower." After saying this, Yusuke Mitsui stretched and walked out of the mansion.
The middle-aged man on the side stood up and said respectfully:
"Miss, are you sure you will attend tonight's event?"
"Of course!" Mitsui Kanon replied, "I would also like to ask you to send me the materials prepared by those partners immediately. If they are free, you can also invite them in advance for a simple afternoon tea."
"Okay, my subordinate will do it now."
After Mitsui Kanon dealt with this matter, her delicate fingers gently slid over the knife, and a new plan formed in her mind. She ordered the maid next to her:
"Call Nakamura over to me."
After a while, Nakamura, who was labeled a 'traitor', ran into the living room of Mitsui House in a panic, bowed slightly and asked:
"Miss, have you changed your plan to catch Huang Mao tonight?"
Mitsui Kanon secretly laughed at his cleverness and ordered coldly:
"Well, that's right. I have other important things to do tonight. You can take the lead in doing that."
"To capture an ordinary high school student, I think four people are enough for you, and you don't need to use a gun."
Nakamura responded confidently:
"No problem, I'll take care of him tonight, and I'll definitely catch that yellow-haired boy back to the eldest lady."
"The ugly words are ahead..." Mitsui Kanon deliberately emphasized her tone, "If you can't handle a mere high school student and run away like last night, I don't need to explain the consequences..."
"My subordinate understands!"
Mitsui Kanon waved her hand, signaling Nakamura to leave.
Then she notified the head of the group's internal control department to remember not to provide guns to Nakamura, and to pass on the information about the dispatch of security company personnel to her as soon as possible.
In this way, we can truly know who Nakamura will bring to participate in the operation, and then compare it with the list he reported himself, and we can also roughly figure out who his confidants are.
"Next..." She closed her eyes, "I hope you still have the same spirit as last night~"
Replacing a seemingly loyal bodyguard leader without solid evidence was an invisible loss that Mitsui Kanon didn't want to bear, but it would be different if he made big mistakes in two simple tasks in a row.
Of course, the best situation is that both of them lose. Mitsui Kanon smiled slightly and carefully read the partner information sent to her by another middle-level manager.

In the activity room of Lanfeng Private High School.
Hayami Ruri sat directly at the seat furthest away from Kuriyama Mai, and Kasuga Chinatsu quickly made her a cup of tea.
Kuriyama Mai could tell from Chinatsu's serious eyes that she valued this serious classmate who was the first to consult.
But just when he wanted to take a look at Hayajian Liuli, she was so panicked that she didn't know what to do, and she hugged her chest tightly with her hands.
He also pretended to do his homework first and listened to what the minister would do.
Seeing her scared look, Kasuga Chinatsu turned around and gave Kuriyama Mai a look, and then comforted her:
"I met you classmate earlier. Don't worry. If that pervert dares to have strange thoughts, I will educate him. For now, just pretend that he doesn't exist."
As she spoke, she showed the fist in her hand.
ah? Kuriyama Mai felt helpless, but now that he had no chance to refute, he could only do his homework silently.
On the contrary, I saw Liuli cast admiring eyes on her early. She was indeed the most arrogant 'flower of the high mountains' in the school, and she could actually deal with such a vicious delinquent.
While she was in a daze, Kasuga Chinatsu had already taken out a dark leather-covered notebook from her bag, spread it out gently and asked:
"Good morning, classmate. May I ask what kind of problem you encountered?"
"Well..." Zaijian Liuli looked a little embarrassed, "I had that feeling the first time I came to the class. There seemed to be an invisible wall between other students and me..."
Kasuga Chinatsu tapped the table with the tip of her Baile pen and said softly:
"Have you seen that my classmate didn't go to Lanfeng in junior high school?"
Hayajian Liuli nodded quickly, with an expression as if she had finally met her savior.
Kasuga Chinatsu thought briefly and added:
"Please meet my classmates and relax. It's not your problem that you can't fit into the 'atmosphere' of the class."
"Ah? Really? I always worry about whether my classmates will dislike me because of my dress, conversation, or other aspects."
I saw Liuli's cute little face full of question marks.
Kasuga Chinatsu gently patted her shoulder and said:
"80% of the high school students in this school are directly promoted from the junior high school. Human beings often like to join groups with people they have known before, so various small circles will be formed as soon as the school starts, and small circles are inherently exclusionary."
"Is this so..." Hayami Liuli murmured, her little head unconsciously shaking from side to side, as if she was savoring what Kasuga Chinatsu said just now.
Kuriyama Mai, who was pretending to be doing homework, looked at her confused look and explained:
"The other classmates in your class have known each other since high school. It's normal for you, a newbie, not to be treated well when you first come in."
Kasuga Chinatsu gave him a rare look of approval.
"That's it~" Hayajian Liuli lowered her head and clutched the hem of her skirt, "But what should I do?"
"Become excellent." Kasuga Chinatsu gently raised her head, looked at her with firm eyes and said:
"As long as you meet your classmates early, whether it is in study, sports or other club activities, you have a shining point, which is enough to attract other classmates to take the initiative to make friends with you."
"Then just pick like-minded people to be friends with."
"But..." Zao Jian Liuli glanced out the window with some unconfidence.
Kuriyama Mai shook his head, looked at Kasuga Chinatsu and said:
"It doesn't have to be so complicated. 20% of them are from other junior high schools. As long as you find someone who is as lonely as you, wouldn't it be great to join a group to keep warm?"
Kasuga Chinatsu cast a disdainful look at him and said with a hint of disgust:
"You can't find true friends like that. That kind of friendship will be blown away by the wind."
