Guangyou asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Ai's delicate earlobes blushed slightly, but Guangyou couldn't see it clearly in the environment. She hesitated for a moment, then stuffed the bag into Guangyou's arms: "Take this and return it. You should be able to return it. Don't buy such expensive things in the future."
After saying that, she took small steps out of the basement door, preparing to go back to her room, leaving Guangyou alone in the basement thinking.
After thinking for a long time, Kōyū still couldn't figure out Ai's meaning, so he could only shake his head and leave the basement.
When the day of the banquet arrived, Uncle Mori rented a car again. This time the car was bigger because in addition to Mori's family, he also brought Ayumi, two others, and Sonoko.
After waiting for ages, the garden still hadn't arrived, and Uncle Mori complained, "What's going on? Why hasn't that rich young lady come yet?"
Xiaolan glanced at her watch, somewhat helplessly: "She said she's already left!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than a distinctive voice, characteristic of the garden, rang out from afar: "Hi, sorry to have kept you all waiting!"
Sonoko was dressed in formal attire and had even changed her hairstyle, which was similar to Ai's. The charm she exuded in that instant made Conan a little stunned. Of course, he wasn't dumbfounded; he just felt that Sonoko at this moment resembled Ai when she grew up.
Guangyou thought the same thing, but it was only similar. You might not be able to tell the difference from their backs, but you could clearly see the difference between them from their faces.
"Kid, you seem to have something to say?" Sonoko asked curiously, hands on her hips, looking at Conan who seemed to have something on his mind.
Conan quickly shook his head and waved his hands: "No, no!"
Mitsuhiko chimed in from the side, "You must have been mesmerized by Sonoko-neechan, right!"
"No way!"
To Sonoko, Conan's rebuttal sounded like a face-saving excuse, and she chuckled, "It worked very well!"
When the group arrived at the twin towers, the sky had already been dyed orange-red, with some purple hues mixed in.
There was still some time before the banquet started, but the banquet hall was already full of people. Some celebrities who are often seen on TV were just like ordinary people, talking to someone respectfully. Judging from their demeanor, those who could come here were definitely not ordinary people.
The celebrities wanted to expand their social circles at the banquet and make preparations for the future, while Uncle Mori and his group focused their attention directly on the food at the banquet.
Guangyou could only say it was a pity about these delicious foods, as most of them ended up being thrown away.
"Roast duck, roast beef, sushi..." Guangyou shook his head as he put the food onto his plate, a pitying expression on his face.
"Me too!" Dr. Agasa couldn't resist the temptation of the many delicious foods in front of him.
Just as Ai picked up the food with her fork, she interrupted Professor Agasa, saying, "No, Professor, you can't eat these. I'll go get you some low-calorie food."
"That child..." Uncle Mori leaned closer to Professor Agasa and said, "Is that child so strict with you?"
Dr. Agasa gave a wry smile: "Yes, thanks to her, I often go hungry."
"It's because you've gotten so fat, Professor Agasa, it's unhealthy." Kōyū put a piece of beef in his mouth and raised an eyebrow at Professor Agasa.
"Thank you all so much for taking the time to attend the opening ceremony of the Tokiwa Group's Twin Towers today. I'd like to have a little entertainment. This game is named after my father, Tokiwa Kinsei."
Mio Tokiwa's outfit at the banquet today was very eye-catching. Her deep cleavage attracted many young people present. She had also put on makeup. Although she was a bit older, she still looked very attractive.
"To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Tokiwa Foundation, I want to play a guessing game, which is to guess thirty seconds."
Tokiwa Mio's words made Ayumi and the other two exclaim in surprise. It was quite a coincidence that they had played this game when they went camping before. Even Conan couldn't help but admire Ayumi's accuracy.
Next, Tokiwa Mio's words ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience like a bomb. She slowly said, "The person with absolutely no error, or the one closest to the error, will get the red luxury car you see in front of you."
Even though the people present were not short of money, they were still shocked by the Tokiwa Group's extravagant spending. The car in front of them was a recently released convertible sports car from the Ford Group, which was very valuable.
Mio seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction and continued, "However, if two people guess correctly, we'll decide by rock-paper-scissors. The winner will naturally drive away in the sports car, while the other two will have to make do with this off-road mountain bike. We'll also thoughtfully provide you with a helmet."
The humorous remarks livened up the atmosphere considerably. Not everyone there was interested in the cars; some preferred mountain bikes, and the party's enthusiasm was instantly heightened.
"Those who wish to participate in the game, please deposit your watches first. We will then give you a gem of equal value based on the value of your watches."
Even Kōsuke couldn't help but marvel at the Tokiwa Group's extravagant spending. After all, none of the people present were ordinary; apart from Kōsuke and his group, everyone else's watches cost at least tens of thousands of yen, not to mention the more expensive ones.
After all, the saying goes, "The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches." Regardless of whether one is poor and plays with cars, the saying "The rich play with watches" is not just a joke. The Tokiwa Foundation has gone to great lengths for this opening ceremony.
Sonoko, of course, knew this too, and raised an eyebrow, exclaiming, "The Tokiwa Group is really generous, although this amount isn't even as much as my allowance..."
After listening for a while, Xiaolan looked at Sonoko with some resentment. Guangyou felt the same way. He knew that Sonoko was telling the truth, but this made him seem like he was being overly critical.
Guangyou shook his head: "Indeed, the invisible guise is the most deadly."
Apart from Kisaragi Minezu who didn't want to participate, and Conan, Ai, and Kosuke who had no intention of participating, everyone present was given a watch and a flag that they would need later.
After Chinami pressed the stopwatch, everyone present silently counted the numbers in their minds. Uncle Mori was counting properly when a baby next to him slapped him on the forehead, and he immediately forgot where he was on the count.
Seeing the others around him raise their flags, Uncle Mori hesitated for a moment, then raised his flag as well. The instant he raised his flag...
Mio then said, "Alright, congratulations to the guest over there with the blue flag for winning that red luxury car!"
Uncle Mori pointed to himself, his eyes full of doubt. After confirming it several times, he realized that he had really won the prize and had really won the convertible sports car.
Judging from the rise and fall of his chest, Uncle Mori himself was quite shocked. He was stunned for a moment before accepting the fact, and then walked briskly towards the stage, muttering, "I have a car now."
