Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 580: Hot Spring Trip
The luxury hotel that Mao Lilan drew is located in the eastern part of Shizuoka Prefecture, on the Izu Peninsula.

There are many hot springs and a mild climate there, making it a famous tourist destination in the Kanto region.

It is for this reason that the two three-day and two-night luxury hotel accommodation vouchers are eligible to serve as the first prize of the event.

After learning this, Lu Ren thought for a moment and modified his original plan.

He originally planned to invite only Hibiki Eri and Ai together. Now, Lu Ren plans to invite all the employees of the company and regard this trip as a year-end benefit for the entire company.

There is one thing that Nanatsuki Koshimizu said was right. The company is now expanding, but he doesn't even know many of the company's employees.

Even if Lu Ren believed from the bottom of his heart that the Bi'an Company was established by Bei Dao, he should follow her ideas.

But after all, he also has a part in this, and if conditions permit, he still has to do a little to help Bei Dao reduce the burden.

So on the way back, Lu Renxian called Bei Dao and told her about this.

After listening to Lu Ren's explanation, Bei Dao was silent for a moment and agreed with his idea.

Although she didn't quite understand why the year-end benefits had to be paid in October, since Lu Ren had brought it up, she let him do it.

After the two chatted for a while, Kitajima hung up the phone and handed the matter to Nanatsuki Koshimizu, asking her to notify other employees in the company.

After giving instructions on the specific matters that needed attention, Kitajima called Kisaki Eri personally.

"Sister Eri, Brother Ren is planning to give year-end benefits to all employees of the company and go on a three-day and two-night hot spring trip to the Izu Peninsula in Shizuoka. Do you want to come with us?"

"It's only October, why are they giving out year-end benefits?" Hibiki Eri's complaints were precise and sharp. "And if he really wants to give out benefits, he should give his employees three more days off and give them an extra month's salary. This is no better than using Saturdays and Sundays to travel."

"It's disheartening to think that during your rare rest time you have to deal with your boss and engage in intrigue with your colleagues. In my opinion, he probably wanted to invite you to take a hot spring bath together but couldn't bring himself to do so, so he used the excuse of distributing employee benefits to invite you over as well." Hibari teased.

When it comes to matters between men and women, even the Queen of Law is still gossipy and cannot be immune.

"Well... Brother Ren, he probably has no idea about Saturdays and Sundays. You know his concept of time, Sister Eri, it's basically the same as nothing. Maybe he doesn't even know what month it is or when the Chinese New Year is."

"That... is true." After hesitating for a moment, Kisaki Eri agreed with Kitajima's statement.

He is a smart guy, but in this aspect, he is worse than her drunk husband. It is hard to say what to say.

Bei Dao: "So if Ren Ge knew that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow were Saturday and Sunday, he would not have scheduled the hot spring trip at this time."

She still remembers that when it was time to get off work, Lu Ren forcibly dragged her out of the office.

【Getting off work is the most important rule. 】

The person who said this would not deliberately make things difficult for other workers.

Bei Dao always remembered and always did what Lu Ren said.

"Why don't you talk to him and move the date back two days."

"No need, I've already notified them. After they return from their trip, I'll let them rest for two more days and make up for the Saturday and Sunday holidays."

"That's okay too."

"So, Sister Eri, are you going?"

"If it were somewhere else, I might have to push it off. After all, I have other business to attend to besides the company's business. But Izu is fine. My client this time is from Shizuoka Prefecture. We were originally scheduled to meet in Tokyo, but now it's a good opportunity for me to go there to meet her. It's more convenient for her, too."

"Yes. Tokyo is not close to Shizuoka. It takes more than seven hours to take the Shinkansen."

"Okay, that's it. I'll contact the client and tell them not to come again. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

……

After hanging up the phone, Bei Dao stood up and walked to the window, looking at the lights outside that were so brilliant that they were almost psychedelic.

She knew very well that what Kisaki Eri had said on the phone before was just a joke.

But she really hadn't seen Lu Ren for a long time.

Before, Lu Ren would come to the East China Newspaper to submit manuscripts, even if the time was irregular, there would be two or three times a month. They would chat together, have a meal together, and take a walk together. But now that the website is online, he just throws the manuscript online and never comes again.

Sometimes, the advancement of technology may make people further apart.

In fact, the time between the last time she met Lu Ren and now was not that long, but Bei Dao felt like a long time had passed, so long that her memory was a little fuzzy.

Maybe it's not just Ren Ge, her own sense of time is not that good.

However, this slightly melancholy mood did not last long, because it was not a big deal. Bei Dao quickly calmed down and turned to leave the office.

It’s getting late, time to get off work.

……

The next morning, Lu Ren took Huibara, who had just woken up, and went to the agreed Beika Station to meet Kitajima and the others.

I don't know if it's because the child sleeps too much or she secretly stayed up late last night. Anyway, the little girl looked listless when she woke up this morning.

His hair was messy, he was in a trance, and he couldn't even wear his clothes properly.

She was not wearing her own clothes, nor the pajamas that Lu Ren bought for her. She just put on a shirt of Lu Ren's that she found from who knows where.

Due to the difference in physique, the shirt that fit Lu Ren perfectly looked like an extended and oversized nightgown on Huiyuan, with the corners of the shirt dragging on the ground!

"Good morning, Brother Ren."

The unkempt appearance made Lu Ren's eyes jump.

Even with Dabai's help, after Lu Ren took the towel to wipe her face and tidied herself up and put on her clothes, it was almost the agreed time.

Bei Dao is famous for being punctual, and he must have arrived at the agreed location long ago.

Lu Ren had no choice but to hurriedly drag Huiyuan out. They had breakfast on the Shinkansen.

When the two arrived at the station, the latter was already waiting there as expected.

However, the number of people waiting made Lu Ren a little surprised.

Even with Lu Ren's superhuman eyesight, he could see several rows of people standing in a row behind Bei Dao from a long distance away.

A rough count showed there were about four or five hundred people.

They were all wearing suits and ties, and if you didn't know, you would think it was a gathering of a lively club.

The people heading to the station were already circumventing their group. If it took longer, the police might be called in.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting."

Bei Dao smiled and shook his head, "No, we just arrived too."

[Yeah, it’s only been about an hour.]

Nanatsuki Koshimizu secretly complained in her heart, but since her boss had already spoken, she could only nod her head repeatedly.

"Yeah, we've only been here for a short while."

Unconsciously, she has transformed from the tomboy detective who graduated from high school with poor grades and could not go to college to the qualified office worker she is today.

"By the way, are these all our company's employees? There should be about four or five hundred people, right?"

"Four hundred and fifty-six." Nanatsuki Koshimizu quickly reported a number, "So, boss, there are so many people in our company, you can't just pick on me and take away all the money."

Compared with Bei Dao, Yue Shui is more relaxed in front of Lu Ren and can even tell a few jokes like he is doing now.

"Then give you a raise?"

"Really?"

"That's fake. You have to ask Bei Dao about this. I don't care about money. Well, it's almost time to go to the station to check the tickets."

ps: Just a joke, the author forgot the name of the company run by the protagonist, covering his face.
