Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

"I see. When I was little, I was always wondering why the second daughter of the Suzuki Group would come to Teitan Kindergarten to study!"

Matsumoto Akira looked as if he had suddenly realized something, but if it was just Suzuki Jirokichi's advice, it might not have been successful. Perhaps it was also because Suzuki Shiro and his wife realized the problem.

Matsumoto Akira's idea is indeed correct. For the chaebol, as long as they can maintain their network of relationships with the upper echelons and their own strength does not decline, there will usually not be too many problems.

However, in some cases, people still long for a close friend.

Just like the parents of Kudo Shinichi of the Kudo family, they had a good relationship with the Suzuki Shiro and his wife of the Suzuki Group.

Although they failed to become close friends due to their personalities, they could barely be considered close friends because Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were both outstanding in their abilities and had no greed for wealth.

But when it comes to Suzuki Ayako, the situation is slightly different.

Therefore, when it comes to educating their younger daughter, the Suzukis chose another approach.

This method is very effective. Although the younger daughter is not as gentle as her older daughter, she is at least more optimistic and cheerful than the older daughter.

Moreover, the younger daughter's circle of friends seems to be connecting with the older daughter, which is a good thing in the eyes of the Suzukis.

One daughter's network of connections can benefit both daughters. If the older daughter can be changed, that would be great.

It would be best if there could be changes. If there were no changes, the two of them had no intention of forcing them. After all, this kind of relationship was not necessary for them. They just needed to occasionally get rid of the extra thoughts in their minds.

"Of course not. That's why we invested a lot of money in it. Otherwise, how could an ordinary Teitan School retain the name of a public school and still be comparable to those private schools?"

Suzuki Jikichiro touched his head and said with emotion.

He had never expected that his unintentional action would bring about such changes. Although he said that Teidan was an ordinary school, in fact, Teidan was not bad back then.

Back then, the teaching quality of Teitan was quite outstanding and was considered the best among public schools.

However, there is still a clear gap between this and meeting the standards of the Suzuki Group.

In order to ensure the quality of education, the Suzuki Foundation has invested a lot of money.

Even from Teitan University to kindergartens, the Suzuki Group has shares.

As a result of these actions by the Suzuki Group, some other forces that were unaware of the situation also began to inject resources into Teitan.

Today, Teitan has become a giant in the public system.

Compared with private schools, the tuition fees are low, but the teaching quality is on par.

This parity is not limited to universities, but all resources from kindergarten to university are comparable to those of expensive private schools.

For students from ordinary families, this school is undoubtedly a royal road to success, and the family burden is relatively light.

For the Suzuki Group, this is just a small investment to protect the future of their daughter, but its impact cannot be underestimated.

Now, if someone wants to join midway, instead of directly entering the Teitan series of schools at a specific stage, then what they have to pay is not just money and connections, but they also need to pass an interview.

"That's right~ If you look at it this way, all the students over the past decade should thank Sonoko!"

Matsumoto Akira smiled and patted Suzuki Sonoko on the shoulder, and Suzuki Sonoko immediately slapped him back.

"Don't joke about that! That wasn't our original intention at the time. We just wanted to ensure my studies. Those were just incidental. Don't thank me!"

"No! Although it is incidental, it benefits everyone after all~ How can I not thank you?"

Matsumoto Akira shook his head seriously. Having money does not necessarily mean you can hire excellent teachers. There must be other investments involved.

In order to ensure the quality of teaching, it is impossible to wait until Suzuki Sonoko reaches a certain stage before starting to recruit teachers at the corresponding stage. She must receive a complete set of training from the very beginning.

Therefore, from the time Suzuki Sonoko entered kindergarten until now, students over the past ten years have benefited a lot.

Matsumoto Akira spoke sincerely with a slight smile on his lips, which made Suzuki Sonoko slowly narrow her eyes.

If Xiaolan smiled like this in front of her, Suzuki Sonoko would only think that Xiaolan really thought so. But if it was Matsumoto Akira, given his past personality, Suzuki Sonoko would not think so.

Matsumoto Akira: What kind of misfortune has befallen me? You are letting others' reputation suffer like this, Sonoko, don't you feel guilty? !

Looking at the appearance of the two, Suzuki Jirokichi laughed happily, then pointed to the barbecue grill in front of them and reminded them.

"Seeing that you two have such a good relationship, I feel relieved. But I have to remind you that the barbecue is already burnt. Is it really okay?"

"what?"

"Didn't you say you had experience?"

"Idiot, if it wasn't you, I would have definitely noticed it!"

"Don't try to pass on the blame!"

Matsumoto Akira remained calm and did not seem too panicked, however, Suzuki Sonoko, who was just helping out, was a little flustered.

On the other side, Mao Lilan watched the interaction between Matsumoto Akira and Suzuki Sonoko nervously, confused by why their state was good and sometimes bad, sometimes they were talking happily and sometimes they were restless.

"Matsumoto, your cooking skills are superb! I thought that your rapid success in kendo was enough to make me speechless, but I didn't expect that you are also so good at cooking~"

After tasting the barbecue made by Maori Ran, Hattori Heiji gave her a thumbs up.

"Matsumoto-san's cooking skills are always excellent, so grilling is no problem for him!"

Conan nodded in agreement. Ran Mouri's cooking skills had been tested by their childhood sweethearts, and Matsumoto Akira's cooking skills had been something they had been aware of since elementary school.

"That's great! Miss Xiaolan over there seems to be a pretty good cook. You two are both excellent cooks, so maybe you can take turns cooking in the future. But girls' minds are really hard to guess!"

Hattori Heiji shook his head and looked at the group of girls opposite him, his heart full of confusion. Why didn't they gather together?

Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko sat together. Could it be that the tacit understanding between best friends made them want to have a private chat?

However, Dokujima Yako, Toyama Kazuha and the two little girls gathered together. Dokujima Yako and Toyama Kazuha were obviously enjoying the barbecue process.

The two little girls enjoyed eating meat to their heart's content. Whenever barbecue was served on the table, they were as happy as two little greedy cats.
