After traveling through Detective Conan, I became a popular person

Chapter 175 The Invitation of the Scout

Japanese restaurant, noon

Hagiwara Kenji looked at his little boy, who kept glancing out the window, and smiled. He couldn't help but teasing, "Little Jinpei, how many times have you glanced out the window? Do you really want to see Tong-chan sooner?"

Matsuda Jinpei's face flushed immediately, and he hastily defended himself: "No, no way! I was just looking at the scenery outside the window..."

Kenji Hagiwara smiled speechlessly and gave the other person a chuckle.

This scenery is so beautiful.

Hagiwara Kenji did not expose Matsuda Jinpei's clumsy lie, but just propped up his chin and said with a slight smile:

"But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, we arrived twenty minutes earlier than the agreed time. With Hitomi's calculating personality, she should arrive at the location shortly before the agreed time."

There was a glimmer of fondness and understanding in his eyes.

Kenji Hagiwara knew very well that Hitomi Hoshino was a person who paid great attention to the concept of time. She was always able to grasp every moment accurately and never waste any second.

This calculating nature makes her an excellent leader, but it also makes her demand too much of herself.

Matsuda Jinpei muttered softly: "Of course I know, I just don't want her to wait... But, I haven't always been thinking about seeing her earlier, so don't say anything nonsense in front of her when the time comes!"

Kenji Hagiwara couldn't help laughing out loud, he knew that Jinpei Matsuda actually cared a lot about Hoshino Hitomi's opinion.

Although the two often bicker with each other, they actually care about each other very much.

"bell--"

The wooden door of the Japanese restaurant slowly opened, and the Japanese wind chimes hanging above made a crisp sound. The person who came was Hoshino Hitomi who came as promised.

Today she wore a pure white turtleneck sweater with a burgundy retro-style short coat sweater, and a black pleated skirt and a pair of black short boots.

Her long black curly hair, which just reached her waist, was casually draped behind her. A string of white pearl hairpins was pinned in her hair, adding a touch of gentleness and grace to her casual and lazy style.

It was an ordinary outfit, but it couldn't hide her beauty.

A bright and charming little face, snow-white and tender skin, a pair of pink and tender lips under a small and straight nose that are rosy and shiny, and a pair of red peach blossom eyes that add a bit of charm.

Almost the moment Hoshino Hitomi walked in, she attracted the attention of countless guests around her because of her breathtakingly beautiful appearance.

One of the young men who was sitting closer to her at the table had eyes that lit up when he saw her, and he even stopped eating the food he had just been served.

He first took out a comb and a small mirror from his suit pocket, carefully tidied his appearance, and then walked up to Hoshino Hitomi at a very fast pace.

"Hello, I guess this beautiful lady must be Miss Hoshino."

Hoshino Hitomi was originally looking around, looking for the location of Hagiwara Kenji and Matsuda Jinpei, and then she heard someone talking to her.

After hearing what the other party said, she couldn't help but be a little shocked. She had just entered the door and her identity was recognized by others.

There was a trace of surprise in Xingye's eyes, a little bit of disbelief: [Am I so famous that any passerby can recognize me? ]

[But I’m not a famous singer like my mother. Even my father used to be unrecognizable when he went out…]

Xiaoyi thought for a moment and replied: [It is indeed a bit abnormal, host, don't worry, maybe you met someone who knows you, or... a loyal fan of the host.]

Hoshino Hitomi: [A fan of my looks? I haven’t even appeared on the big screen many times, and I only officially took over the Hoshino Group two years ago. Let alone a fan of my looks, it’s a miracle that anyone can recognize me.]

Hoshino Hitomi analyzed: [So, he should be the one who knew me unilaterally before.]

Xiaoyi smiled and said meaningfully: [That’s not necessarily true]

Xiaoyi immediately searched online for information about the few times that Hoshino Hitomi had appeared in the news and on the external network.

Almost all of the comments under her posts were praising her ability and appearance, which attracted countless fans, but she herself was unaware of this.

There were even many scouts who wanted to establish contact with her and recommend her to various entertainment or self-media companies, but unfortunately, they were stopped by the Hoshino family for various reasons.

Xiaoyi made a well-reasoned analysis: [So, this man in front of me is definitely a scout who is here to recruit the host! ]

After Hoshino Hitomi understood the whole story, the corners of her mouth twitched: [This is too exaggerated...]

Hoshino Hitomi then praised her subordinates: [My family members really understand me. They know that I usually don’t like to deal with these things, so they took the initiative to stop them for me. I must give them a raise when I go back.]

Hoshino Hitomi came back to her senses, smiled at the other party, and responded politely: "Hello, sir. May I ask what can I do for you?"

Seeing the sweet smile on the other person's pretty face, the young man felt his heart pounding.

The man quickly calmed himself down, gave her a gentlemanly smile, then took out his business card and introduced himself: "Sorry, Miss Hoshino, I'm sorry to take up a little of your time. I'm Ono Heizo, a talent scout from xx company."

Xiaoyi said excitedly: [Sure enough, I guessed right! ]

Ono Heizo then continued to flatter Hoshino Hitomi, but his tone was so pious that people didn't feel annoyed listening to it.

"I have heard of Miss Hoshino for a long time. Now that I see her, Miss Hoshino is indeed as radiant as the rumors say. It is a rare opportunity to meet you here by chance."

"..." (Here is omitted the hundreds of words of flattery that Ono Heizo said in order to recruit Hoshino Hitomi into the entertainment company)

Jinpei Matsuda, who was not far away, listened to Ono Heizo's constant praising of Hoshino Hitomi for several minutes, and his heart gradually became irritated.

If it weren't for Kenji Hagiwara blocking him, he would have gone out and chased the man away long ago, and would not have given the man the chance to get involved with Hitomi Hoshino.

Hagiwara Kenji saw what Matsuda Jinpei was thinking at the moment, and reluctantly advised: "Jinpei, calm down. There's nothing we can do about Hitomi-chan's charisma. We finally got together to have fun, so we should not get into conflict with others. Besides, Hitomi-chan didn't say anything."

Matsuda Jinpei snorted in dissatisfaction: "She is just too kind and doesn't want to embarrass others. She must have been unhappy for a long time."

"After all, who would like to have their plans interrupted by someone irrelevant, not to mention being late because of someone else's chatterbox."

Having said that, Jinpei Matsuda still listened to Kenji Hagiwara's words and did not step forward to stop him, but his cannibalistic eyes were fixed on Ono Heizo's back.

Feeling that someone seemed to be staring at him, Ono Heizo felt a chill on his back and realized something, so he smiled apologetically at Hoshino Hitomi:

"I guess Miss Hoshino also has an appointment, so I won't bother her too much. I will serve two more dishes to Miss Hoshino's table as compensation."

"I hope Miss Hoshino will accept my business card. If you want to be a star, you can contact me directly."

Upon hearing this, Hoshino Hitomi raised her eyebrows slightly, secretly admiring the other party's clever move.

Knowing that she attaches great importance to time management, she would be somewhat dissatisfied with anyone who suddenly interrupted her plans.

In order not to offend her and also considering the possibility of cooperation with her in the future, Ono Heizo chose something not so expensive as compensation, which was a wise choice.

Because she would definitely not agree to let a stranger pay for her in full, Ono Heizo did not choose to pay for her directly, but instead chose to compromise and serve two more dishes for her table.

This would not only calm the dissatisfaction of her other two friends towards Ono Heizo who caused her to be late, but would also improve her impression of him, and in turn prompt her to have a favorable impression of his company.

If it weren't for her special status, she might have really considered the other party's invitation.
