Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Koizumi got out of the taxi, found a deserted place to put away his disguise, and then headed to his real destination.

The simple and elegant black wooden door, the hand-carved "Maple Garden" plaque, the Zen garden stacked with white sand, pebbles and bamboo, the entrance hall accompanied by gurgling water and the sound of bamboo drums, everything is exactly the same as the scene in Koizumi's memory.

So, was it Rum who rebuilt Fengting, or was it the will of the world that refreshed Fengting, just like the hair of people in this world?

The waitress in kimono respectfully welcomed Koizumi into the room and walked sideways in front to lead the way.

Koizumi: "Has the master arrived?"

The waitress turned gracefully and bowed to her, then replied gently, "Yes, sir. The host and several other guests are already waiting inside."

The shoji door was opened, and looking at the exquisite bamboo mat under his feet, Koizumi suddenly smiled.

This time, she could finally take off her shoes with peace of mind.

Rum was sitting in the main seat. Nae Oyamada and the American Consul David Harris had already arrived, and they each had someone sitting next to them.

David Harris sat next to another American man.

Koizumi recognized that the American was the U.S. Consul General in Neon whom she had seen on TV.

Sitting next to Nae Oyamada was a middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as Rum. He looked very imposing and was trying to steal the limelight from Rum.

This is interesting.

It's normal for David Harris to bring someone who can make the final decision.

What's the meaning of you, Nae Yamada, bringing such a man to attend? Shouldn't you help me persuade the Americans to accept our rum?

Everyone present was a smart person, and even if they had some hidden agenda, they would not easily reveal it. Anyway, when Koizumi came in, he only saw a few people chatting happily.

Rum greeted her with a smile, his expression a little subtle.

Nae Oyamada stood up to greet her and tried to pull her to sit next to her in a friendly manner.

David Harris leaned close to the American Consul General's ear and spoke, apparently introducing Koizumi's identity to him.

Koizumi declined Nae Oyamada's kindness, walked straight to Rum, and raised his chin slightly towards him.

Instead of getting angry, Rum smiled with satisfaction, moved aside a little, and asked the waiter to add a seat next to him.

Seeing this, Nae Oyamada's eyes flashed slightly.

Koizumi sat down beside Rum without any hesitation, and asked directly to Nae Oyamada across from him, "Ms. Oyamada, could the person next to you be the mayoral candidate that the Oyamada family is planning to push?"

Neither Rum nor Nae Oyamada expected that she would be so direct and actually use this sentence as an opening.

Nae Oyamada nodded and smiled: "Yes. He is..."

"No need for introductions."

Koizumi interrupted her introduction very rudely: "Just know that he is a very capable person in your Oyamada family. Give him a suitable position later. Please assist our Mayor Wakita."

The man opposite changed his expression slightly.

Nae Oyamada was very shrewd. She just smiled and didn't express her opinion.

Rum turned his head to look at Koizumi and raised the corner of his mouth.

Koizumi turned to the Americans again: "Mr. Emanuel, right?"

The Consul General nodded and said in English, "Yes. Sorry that I don't speak Neon English well."

Koizumi: "It's okay, feel free to do as you please. It won't hinder communication."

Consul General Emanuel smiled and said, "I have heard of you, Ms. Sakurai. I heard that you are a very capable person. But why don't you run for mayor yourself?"

Koizumi smiled and said, "Apart from my age and gender, I personally don't like being confined to that position. I prefer and am better at performing other tasks."

Her eyes swept over David Harris. "When your Mr. Harris approached me, it was only to ask me to help you with some interesting, profitable 'little jobs'. If I really overestimate my abilities and ask to become a candidate for mayor, it would not only go against my own wishes, but also damage the vested interests of both of us."

She saw David Harris whispering something in Mr. Emanuel's ear, as if he was translating.

It seems that Consul General Emanuel is indeed as he said, Neon language is not good.

After David Harris finished translating, Emmanuel looked at Koizumi and nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with her words.

Koizumi continued, "The reason why I recommended my colleague Mr. Wakita to be the mayor of Tokyo is out of consideration for our common interests. But since the Oyamada family is also planning to participate, as one of the largest investors in TSE, I don't mind letting you have a share. The three parties are restraining each other. It can't be said to be perfect, but it can be regarded as a relatively stable form of interests."

Koizumi turned to look at Nae Oyamada: "But it's better for the Oyamada family not to compete with us for the position of mayor. Even if the economic resources are equal, Ms. Oyamada, are you sure you have effective means of control? Especially when the opponent is me."

The man next to Nae Oyamada suddenly screamed and jumped up from his seat.

Everyone was startled by him.

Nae Oyamada controlled her voice and facial muscles in time and did not make any inappropriate reactions, but the corners of her mouth twitched when she saw the man who suddenly appeared behind her.

When did this man stand behind them? !

She turned around with a little shock and looked at the smiling Koizumi.

Is this the special talent she mentioned? !

This is a threat! A naked death threat!

Rum was also a little shocked.

To be honest, he didn't even see when the man appeared opposite him.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye and he was there.

Koizumi smiled and hooked his fingers: "Okay, Zhufu. Stop scaring them and come here."

Zhu Fu Jingguang nodded, walked over, straightened his back and knelt behind Koizumi with an expressionless face.

The expressions on the two Americans' faces lit up, and they were obviously amazed by Koizumi's sudden move.

Koizumi continued to smile at Nae Oyamada and said, "You said you wanted to be my escort ship. Since it's a escort ship, why do you want to take my place? Are you so impatient? Or have you weighed the pros and cons and felt that the benefits you can get from me are not as great as those you can get directly from the Americans?"

She spread her hands and smiled, directly revealing her thoughts: "I believe you can understand after meeting Mr. Wakita today. To be honest, I really don't need a helper like you, especially you are a helper who may stab me in the back. For the sake of classmate Oyamada and those checks, I will not bother with you this time. If you really want to cooperate with me, please show your sincerity. Don't say one thing to my face and another behind my back."

After saying that, she stopped looking at Oyamada Nae's expression and turned to Rum, "I'm sorry I was called over by Gin just now, so I'm late. What do you think? Are you interested?"

Before Rum could speak, the American next to him couldn't wait to interrupt and ask, "Ms. Sakurai, who is the gentleman behind you?"

Koizumi smiled and said, "He is just an ordinary special talent of TSE."

"Special talents?"

David Harris' eyes sparkled. "I remember you were going to hold a recruitment fair for special talents. Could it be that all the talents here are special talents like this?"

Koizumi nodded: "That's right. On November 11th, if you are interested, you can go and have a look. But..."

She glanced at Emmanuel and said, "Forget it, Mr. Consul General. It may be too dangerous for you. After all, my subordinates are all kinds of people, and most of them are unruly. It would not be good if someone interfered with our transaction."

After listening to Harris's translation, Consul General Emanuel's expression of interest became even more intense.

"But aren't you working for a security company? I believe your security company should be able to guarantee my safety, right?"

Hooked.

Koizumi smiled and said, "If it is a formal request, I would certainly be happy to serve. But before that, please let me make a confirmation first."

She turned her head and looked at Rum again: "Although I have said so much, I must first confirm what you have considered."
