Detective Conan: Primary School Student, Help Me Become a chaebol!

Facing such a sweet-looking woman with good means, he was, of course, very interested in this.

If she could really stand out, the company would gain a valuable helper in the future.

After all.

As Kudou Shinichi takes medicine and becomes smaller, the company will soon enter the fast lane.

The company naturally needs reliable people to take charge of various aspects.

If Yoko Okino can stand out, he certainly doesn't mind giving her a platform.

Even if she fails, it doesn't matter! He could simply treat her as a decorative vase.

After all, this woman is both beautiful and a popular idol, isn't she? In short…

You can make a lot of money, but I won't lose.

I have to say.

Li Ze has become more and more like a capitalist these days.

Even when faced with a beautiful woman throwing herself into his arms, he couldn't help but think about how to maximize her value.

And, on the other side.

Yoko Okino's expression was complicated.

Yes.

Facing Li Ze in front of her, her heart was somewhat confused.

There was no way around it.

Had her goal been achieved? Indeed, it had.

She had found reliable capital backing. With this support, it would be easy to develop her career further, without worrying about threats from others.

But the problem was…

Li Ze was too smart.

In the past.

No matter who she faced, even if it was the heir of a wealthy conglomerate, she could always maintain the upper hand.

But now?

Her usual tricks were completely ineffective against Li Ze.

On the contrary.

She was firmly under Li Ze's control, unable to resist his dominance.

To be honest.

This wasn't part of her original plan.

In her imagination, even if she had to sacrifice her body, she wanted to maintain control by choosing her own backer.

She hoped to make the other party fall in love with her using her methods.

Only in this way.

She could fully control her benefactor!

This was why she subconsciously decided to contact Li Ze after seeing him today.

In her eyes.

Li Ze was a passionate young man who believed in love.

But who would have thought…

This guy turned out to be far more cunning than any wealthy heir she had encountered.

Yet, refusing him wasn't an option.

After all.

She had been the one to propose this arrangement. If she chose to back out now, it would be a direct insult to Li Ze.

Not to mention.

With Akiyoshi Fujie's death today, Li Ze could easily destroy her!

So, hey!

After a sigh, Yoko Okino accepted her fate.

"Okay, I understand."

"I am willing to dedicate my life and soul to you."

"Mr. Li Ze, please guide me."

Yoko Okino bowed once more.

This also marked the moment when she became Li Ze's personal property.

Li Ze smiled.

He hadn't expected to gain anything substantial from today's case.

But, unexpectedly.

Yoko Okino had delivered herself to him.

Moreover.

Unlike in the original story.

This Yoko Okino was an ambitious and intelligent woman.

"Alright." Li Ze smiled and said, "Let's eat first."

Then.

The two of them got to know each other over a meal, strengthening their connection.

About an hour later.

He accompanied Yoko Okino to select a hotel. After some deeper interaction, he finally returned home under the starry night sky.

Yes.

Although he had accepted Yoko Okino, he hadn't considered letting her move into his home.

The reason was simple.

Yoko Okino was a public figure in the entertainment industry, and he didn't want his private life disrupted.

...

Half an hour later.

Li Ze returned home again. Seeing the busy figures bustling about, he couldn't help but sigh at the advantages of wealth.

The tasks he assigned last night had already been fully completed!

"Boss, you're back."

"Today, I recruited four maids, a repairman, a gardener, a Chinese Sichuan chef, and a pastry chef."

"Normally, there would also be a butler."

"But given how important the butler's role is, requiring knowledge of many company secrets, we couldn't find a suitable candidate immediately. For now, we'll take it step by step."

Alice approached and sat next to Li Ze with a look of mild helplessness.

And, at that moment.

Servants dressed in neat maid outfits brought refreshments for the two of them.

Li Ze couldn't help but twitch his mouth at this scene.

Yes.

He didn't quite understand.

Even though they lived in an upscale area, it was just an ordinary townhouse.

Even if there was a small garden, was it really necessary to hire a dedicated gardener or repairman?

To be honest.

He felt a few servants would have sufficed.

The only thing he was satisfied with was the chef!

As someone who grew up with a "Chinese stomach," he had long tired of eating Japanese food.

At first, it was due to a lack of funds, and later, a lack of time.

Now.

Alice had found him a chef specializing in Sichuan cuisine, which made him very happy.

"Alright, this will do."

"Even if it seems unnecessary, since they're already hired, you can take care of it for now, Alice."

"When we eventually find a suitable butler, you can transition to the role of company security director."

"But hiring a pastry chef seems excessive, don't you think?"

"I don't even eat sweets. There's really no need for one."

Li Ze sounded a bit helpless.

Yes.

He could tolerate the other hires, but the pastry chef truly baffled him.

At home.

Not only did he not eat pastries, but even Alice and Natasha rarely touched such things.

As someone who came from the northern part of the flower-growing region, he preferred rich, salty, and spicy dishes like Sichuan cuisine.

He really didn't care for sugary foods.

Hearing this, Alice shrugged and responded helplessly.

"Well, honestly…"

"I didn't originally plan on hiring a pastry chef, but someone recommended themselves!"

"And they argued that pastries are ideal for entertaining guests."

"I thought it made sense."

"And since it's not too expensive, I went ahead and hired them."

"After all…"

"We often have visitors, don't we?"

Li Ze paused.

It did seem true!

Unlike the chinese family, in this country, tea and desserts were customary when hosting guests.

Perhaps it wasn't entirely unreasonable.

But still, he decided to let it slide.

As Alice mentioned, it wasn't a significant expense.

And at that moment.

A dark-skinned, handsome man with golden hair entered, carrying a tray. He had a gentle smile on his face.

"Alice is absolutely right."

"How can we entertain guests without delicious desserts?"

"This must be the boss, yes?"

"I've prepared a new dessert. Boss, would you like to try it?"
