Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 41

If it were a sofa instead of a chair, and the kitchen wasn't so cramped, it would look even more like one.

Xing Gongyu smacked her lips as she looked around her little apartment.

It's definitely a bit small. If there were one or two more people, there wouldn't even be room to put your feet down.

Hoshimiya Yu has always wanted to move, and now that Asai Mami has joined the family, she needs an even bigger house.

Previously, Xing Gongyu had been putting it off partly because she didn't have the time and partly because she didn't have enough money.

He knew the locations of many treasures, but much of it was stolen money, and he had no way to convert it into cash.

Just like the maple leaf coins in the Metropolitan Cipher incident.

When Hoshino heard the news report and remembered the whereabouts of the Maple Leaf Coins, she was incredibly tempted, but in the end she decided not to get involved.

Those robbers were all armed, which was too dangerous. Besides, they couldn't convert the gold coins into cash, so they were just doing the police a favor for nothing.

With her salary from Mika High School, plus some legal income she found, Hoshiguma Yu escaped poverty, but she was still a little short of the comfortable life of owning a house and a car.

Since we're moving houses, we definitely want to do it all at once, as moving is a very troublesome thing.

In the past, we had no choice but to move around frequently to save on rent.

Living in a small apartment can be wonderful, but it's never truly comfortable.

Masami Asai used to live in Tokyo, but she sold all her assets there a few years ago in order to seek revenge.

After arriving at Moonshadow Island, he quickly found a job as a doctor again, and didn't spend much of his savings.

This time, leaving Moonshadow Island resulted in the loss of some assets, but since there were no fixed assets such as houses or cars, it was not too bad.

Now, with Asai Mami's savings, she should be able to choose a house she likes.

Even if you can't afford to buy, renting shouldn't be a problem.

Of course, if possible, Hoshiguma Yu would like to buy it directly.

During dinner, Hoshimiya Yu brought up this topic.

“Little brother Hoshimiya, I’m fine. I feel good here.” Asai Mami said softly.

"Sister Chengmei, Brother Yu has been thinking about moving to a different house for a long time."

Xiao Lan offered an explanation, then thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Yu, are you planning to move to an apartment or a detached house?"

A detached house has a larger space, but after seeing the Kudo family's luxurious villa with its own basement, Hoshimiya Yu looked down on the ordinary detached house.

"An apartment, choose a nice one, it'll be more comfortable to live in."

Luxury apartments are more expensive than ordinary detached houses in Japan, but there are reasons for the higher price.

The vast majority of luxury apartments in Japan are delivered fully furnished, and the standards are higher than those of ordinary residences, but the specific level depends on the positioning of the property and the price.

For top-tier towers, they may even offer luxurious "move-in ready" amenities.

What Hoshigumi Yu wanted was a top-of-the-line apartment that was not only convenient but also extremely spacious.

The master bedroom has a large bed that can easily sleep five or six people at once.

Once even luxury apartments aren't big enough, he estimates he'll have enough money to buy a private villa like the Kudo family's.

"In that case, I know a nice building." As if she had thought of something, Xiaolan's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "Hey, let's go check it out together tomorrow!"

"sure."

Hoshimiya Hayao and Asai Mami had no problem with it; since they had nothing else to do, they might as well take advantage of their free time to resolve this matter.

After dinner, they agreed on a time to go out the next day, and Xiaolan said goodbye and left.

She actually wanted to stay and sleep with them, but judging from the way Asai Mami and Hoshimiya Hato looked, tonight was definitely not going to be peaceful.

058 and Fei Yingli become neighbors

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, Xiaolan chose to go back to her own home to sleep.

Since Xiaolan was so considerate, Xinggong Yu naturally couldn't waste her kindness, and he took good care of the beautiful doctor that night.

We discussed the differences in male and female human anatomy.

Asai Mami's body hasn't fully recovered yet, and she has to go out tomorrow morning, so Hoshimiya Yu didn't overexert herself.

After giving the beautiful doctor an injection, he fell into a deep sleep, embracing her smooth and delicate body.

The next day, at nine in the morning.

Hoshimiya Yu and the radiant female doctor arrived at the Mouri Detective Agency together.

Looking at the increasingly charming and beautiful Asai Masami, whose figure is also getting better, Ran couldn't help but feel a little envious.

She knew that it had a moisturizing effect on women, but was the effect really that obvious...?

Of course, ordinary people wouldn't have such obvious results, but Xing Gongyu is no ordinary person.

The effect of the Fate Contract improving physical condition manifests outwardly as nourishment.

Even a flat-chested woman can become a sexy beauty with full breasts and a perky butt after being developed by Xing Gongyu.

Suppressing her restless thoughts, Ran hugged Hoshimiya Hatake's arm, and together with Asai Masami, they flanked Hoshimiya Hatake on either side.

The girl's delicate body rubbed against Xing Gongyu, soft and elastic.

"Let's go then," Xiaolan said enthusiastically.

After hailing a taxi, Hoshimiya Yu instinctively went to sit in the passenger seat, but was stopped by Ran and Asai Masami.

They wouldn't let Hoshino Yu sit in the passenger seat, and they wouldn't sit in it themselves either.

Amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the middle-aged driver, Hoshiguma Yu was sandwiched between them and sat in the back seat of the taxi.

Ten minutes later, in the heart of Tokyo, Hoshimiya Hayao and two others stood beneath a tower building.

Looking at those towering buildings that seem to pierce the sky, you can tell they are definitely high-end apartments without even going inside.

In Japan, the height of an apartment can roughly indicate its class.

Typical apartments are usually on the 3rd to 6th floors and do not have elevators.

Mid-range apartments are 7 to 15 stories high and equipped with elevators.

Luxury apartments, or tower blocks, are at least 20 stories high, and can even be up to 50 stories.

It is a super high-rise building.

Not to mention the building's excellent location and various high-end facilities.

As Xiaolan approached the building, she scanned her face, and the transparent glass doors automatically opened to both sides.

Hoshigumi Yu glanced at Xiaolan in surprise. Judging from her practiced movements, it was clear that this wasn't her first time here.

"Lan, you seem very familiar with this place..."

Xiao Lan smiled mischievously, offering no explanation, but instead urging, "Hurry, the elevator's here, let's go upstairs first."

The girl clearly had a specific destination in mind, and upon entering the elevator, she pressed the button for the 26th floor without hesitation.

The highest floor is 40 floors, and the 26th floor is slightly above the middle, which is considered an excellent floor.

Regardless of the number of floors in a building, the middle location is always the best.

This is especially true for super high-rise buildings.

The 26th floor offers a perfect panoramic view of Tokyo without being too high, making everything blurry.

As the elevator slowly ascended, Xiaolan's mood improved, and she even began humming an unknown, cheerful tune.

Seeing this, Xing Gongyu also had a guess in his mind.

To ensure that Xiaolan could visit frequently and stay in such a high-rise apartment, Xing Gongyu could only think of two people.

One of them was naturally the Suzuki family's daughter, Sonoko Suzuki.

However, Sonoko Suzuki usually lives on her family's estate, and the Suzuki family would not allow her to live alone outside.

That leaves only one candidate.

Soon, as the elevator arrived, Hoshiguma Yu's suspicions were confirmed.

Princess Law Firm.

Six traditional Chinese characters immediately caught Xing Gongyu's eye.

"Brother Yu, we're here, this is it."

With her hands behind her back, Xiaolan cheerfully introduced to Xinggong Yu, "There are three rooms on this floor. The outermost one is Mom's office and residence."

"Both rooms inside are empty, Brother Yu, you can choose whichever you like."

This luxury apartment features a row layout, ensuring that each unit receives ample sunlight.

The trade-off is that the price is higher than other high-end apartments.

There are three households per floor, 40 floors in total, and 120 households in total.

It's still not fully occupied, especially the middle floors in the prime location, which are mostly vacant.

"Lan, are you trying to make me neighbors with Attorney Fei?"

Xing Gongyu wasn't in a hurry to look at the house. Instead, she joked, "Did you think of this last night and deliberately not say anything, waiting here to see my reaction?"

"What? Brother Yu, don't you like it?"

Xiao Lan blinked and said mischievously, "That way, when I come to Yu-ge's place to play, I can also visit my mother, and when I visit my mother, I can also come to Yu-ge's place to play."

Do you like Hoshimiya Yu?

Of course I like it.

Aside from being expensive, this place has no downsides.

Being neighbors with Fei Yingli would be a great help in winning over this beautiful and sexy queen of the legal profession.

Xing Gongyu understands this principle better than anyone: those who are near the water get the moon first.

The office door suddenly opened, and a young woman with short, dark green hair appeared in front of Hoshimiya Yu and the other two.

Kuriyama Midori looked at Ran and smiled, "It really is Ran. I thought it sounded a bit like her when I was inside. Why did you suddenly come here today?"

As she spoke, she invited the group inside.

"Come in and sit for a while. Attorney Fei is busy. I'll go call her."

"No, Miss Kuriyama," Ran waved her hand and said, "I'm not here to see my mother today; I'm here with Yu-ge to look at houses."

"Brother Yu, Sister Chengmei, this is Miss Kuriyama, my mother's assistant."

After introducing Hoshimiya Hayao and the other person, Ran introduced the other two people to Kuriyama Midori.

After getting to know each other, Xing Gongyu took a closer look at the secretary, whom he didn't have much of an impression of.

Kuriyama Midori has well-proportioned features and a classic oval face; with light makeup, she is a striking beauty.

Especially now that she's wearing business attire, her long, slender, and straight legs are encased in black stockings.

It makes you want to pick it up and examine it closely.

Eri Kisaki and Yu Hoshimiya only met once during Ran's karate tournament, but Yu Hoshimiya left a deep impression on the beautiful lawyer.

As Ran and Hoshimiya Yu's relationship grew closer, Eri kept hearing Hoshimiya Yu's name from Ran, which made a deeper impression on her, leading her to subconsciously mention it to Kuriyama Midori in her daily life.

Kuriyama Midori had previously heard snippets of Hoshimiya Yu from Eri Kisaki, but now that she saw him in person, he was even more handsome than she had imagined.

Staring at Hoshiguma Yu's burning gaze, the beautiful secretary felt no disgust, only a shyness rising from the bottom of her heart.

Just as Ran was about to lose her temper, Midori Kuriyama spoke up, "Is Mr. Hoshimiya moving here? Then we'll be neighbors from now on."

"Yes, I hope you will take good care of me in the future, Ms. Kuriyama."

She hasn't even seen the house yet, but Hoshimiya Yu has already decided to move here.

Putting aside Attorney Fei, this secretary is also a beauty worth trying.

"Not at all, it is we who should ask Mr. Hoshimiya for more guidance."

Kuriyama reached out and shook hands with Hoshimiya Yu, when he suddenly felt a tickle on his palm.

Just as she was wondering if she was imagining things, her delicate little hand was tightly grasped.
