Conan's self-cultivation of fake wine

Chapter 581: The Tragic Barrier
Perhaps Xiaolan really listened to the reason that Lu Ren made up at the beginning. In order to make the gift more surprising, she even deliberately took a different train to Shizuoka from Lu Ren and chose the Shinkansen that was half an hour later than theirs.

This also made Lu Ren a little more worried, because the trains in the scientific world were also one of the places where crimes frequently occurred.

If this case really happened on the train, it would be difficult for him to get there in the first time.

And strictly speaking, Lu Ren really thinks that Xiaolan's confidentiality is meaningless.

After all, they will meet in the hotel sooner or later. As soon as they meet, with Kisaki Eri's keen insight, she will definitely realize the real intention behind this trip at the first moment.

But they are just kids, they can do whatever makes them happy...

What touches people is not the gift, but the thought behind it.

At this time, Lu Ren was sitting at the outermost edge of the aisle, Bei Dao was sitting by the window, and Huiyuan was sandwiched between them.

Opposite them were Kisaki Eri, Koshimizu Nanatsuki, and Shimabukuro Kimie.

Originally, their seats were not together, but after all, this carriage was almost full of employees of their company, so if they wanted to change seats, they just had to say so.

In this case, Lu Ren would rather sit with people he knows.

At least you can chat more freely, instead of looking at the other person with a smile on their face. If you say something casually, the other person will think about it eight hundred times, trying to figure out the deep meaning behind it.

Lu Ren himself doesn't want to live such a tiring life, but at the same time, he doesn't want to see others living such a tiring life in front of him.

Work carefully, live carefully, and treat everyone around you carefully.

There is nothing wrong with this way of living, or rather, some people will find it difficult to survive in this world if they don't do this.

It's not their fault, they just have no choice.

"There's no other way." Lu Ren whispered, raised his hand to call the train attendant, and ordered a children's lunch box from him.

At the same time, he pretended to take out wet wipes and a sheep-horn comb from his pocket, but actually from the wishing ring, and continued to wipe the little guy's eyes and comb his hair.

Although Huiyuan's hair is naturally curly, it is now obviously a little too curly. He just tidied it up briefly before, and now the journey is long, so he has plenty of time to be a nanny.

While Lu Ren was carefully smoothing his hair, being careful not to hurt Huiyuan, he was thinking that if his daughter was sleepy at this age and needed help from her parents to wash her face, comb her hair, and take care of her personal hygiene, he would probably feel very happy and accomplished.

But the problem is that Huibara is already eighteen years old, and she is still like this. I always have a subtle feeling that this character is ruined.

All in all, my mood is quite complicated.

Huibara lost both her parents when she was young. Lu Ren guessed that when she was actually seven or eight years old, her daily life was probably taken care of by her sister Miyano Akemi.

But what about after that? Her sister can't always take care of her. That's unrealistic.

If he had traveled through time a few years earlier, to before the first year of the Science Academy, perhaps he would have been able to see what Huibara looked like during her daily work.

"Brother Ren, Brother Ren!" The call from Nanatsuki Yueshui on the opposite side brought Lu Ren out of his thoughts.

"what happened?"

"What did you just say there is no way? You mean there is no way to raise my salary?"

This casual remark before getting on the car has been remembered by Koshimizu Nanatsuki until now.

It's hard to imagine that Nanatsuki Koshimizu, who threw out 500,000 as bait without blinking an eye, would now ask about his salary again and again, whenever he gets the chance.

"I've already said that Bei Dao is in charge of the salary. Also, when I recruited you, my expectation was that you would write detective novels and post them on the website. What about now? Are you writing?" "Ah... this..."

Looking at the hesitant Nanatsuki Koshimizu in front of him, Lu Ren couldn't help but wonder, is this considered a boss PUAing his subordinate? It shouldn't be considered a boss PUAing his subordinate, right?
Shimabukuro Kimie sat quietly aside, saying nothing but smiling, her posture very much like the Yamato Nadeshiko in Lu Ren's impression.

She was not actually an employee of the Other Side Company, but as Lu Ren's first subordinate, it didn't matter whether she worked at the Other Side Company or not.

As for Hibiki Eri, she continued to deal with the business at hand and had no interest in Lu Ren and the others' idle chat.

Seeing Yue Shui remained silent for a long time, Lu Ren started to take care of Huiyuan's hair again, "What I mean by no way is that there is no way to make this little girl sleep on time. You can see how sleepy she is."

If the Beika Station wasn't right at the doorstep, if it was somewhere farther away, Lu Ren would have suspected that he would need to carry Huibara to his destination.

"I have a good idea." Seeing that Lu Ren no longer pursued the work, Nanatsuki Koshimizu suddenly became energetic again, "You can ask Sister Shino to supervise Xiao Ai to rest on time."

"Your upward management trick is really good. This is the first time I've seen a subordinate find work for his superior. And you expect Kitajima to supervise Ai? Are you asking them to compete to see who can sleep later?"

"!"

Perhaps it was the detective's uniquely sharp intuition, well, to be more precise, the intuition of a former detective turned corporate slave, Nanatsuki Koshimizu suddenly felt an inexplicable chill.

She glanced at Bei Dao carefully and found that his expression, posture and movements were exactly the same as before.

But sometimes, especially in this situation, no change is the biggest change.

Spicy balls!

Bei Dao definitely took what Lu Ren just said to heart.

Perhaps she should not have agreed to Lu Ren's suggestion to change seats, and should have stayed quietly in the corner alone.

But if I don't agree, wouldn't that offend them?
"Boss, there's already a pathetically thick barrier between us."

"Well. It seems that you have put in some effort and have read Brother Xun's books." Lu Ren did not understand Yue Shui's melancholy and just thought she was joking.

He didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, the Maori family's attitude towards him had never changed.

"Come to think of it, we have booked this carriage, right? I was thinking that it was a bit too late last night, and it would be hard to buy tickets."

Bei Dao explained, "We booked tickets for our employees in the high-end carriages, and not many people ride in these carriages. Also, brother Ren, we are now a large company, so it is not difficult to coordinate a carriage."

"That's it. You've worked hard during this period, and you should get enough rest on time and don't get too tired. There's no end to making money."

After not seeing each other for a while, Lu Ren felt that Bei Dao seemed to have lost some weight. This was obviously not a good sign.

"Fortunately, I always leave work on time now. It's different now than before. If I stay in the office, other employees in the company will also stay at their workstations. As you said to me before, I think our corporate culture should be 'leave work on time.'"

"Then if you get off work on time, then you won't stay up late now?" Lu Ren was surprised. He didn't expect that Bei Dao had started to cultivate his character.

Could it be that my ideological level has improved after becoming a boss?
But it shouldn't be normal that when you are an employee, you actively slack off, but when you start your own business and become a boss, it's like getting injected with chicken blood. Not only do you work hard yourself, but you also hope that your subordinates will work hard with you.

Why does Bei Dao seem to be the opposite?

"Yeah. I occasionally write a few articles for the Eastern Newspaper. But it's rare. After all, our company has a lot of business now. If we try to take care of both sides, we won't be able to do either."

"That's great, that's how it should be. I always thought you were busy and worried about disturbing you. Now we can often go out to eat delicious food after work. Tokyo is so big, there must be something we haven't eaten yet."

Bei Dao responded immediately: "Yes. Just contact me directly when you are free. I am available anytime in the evening."
