Chapter 264
Late night in Tokyo.
The city lights outside the window were brightly lit, and the hustle and bustle could be heard faintly.
"Okay, Miss Su Fang, let's meet tomorrow. The location will be at my detective agency, at [-]-chome in Mihua Town."
After Fujino hung up the phone, he let out a long sigh of relief.
In this case, we can talk about the entrusted endorsement tomorrow.
Although we still don’t know what the other party’s character is like, judging from Okino Yoko’s introduction, the other party should be a well-known philanthropist.
Such philanthropists generally have a very high reputation in society.
"But having said that, why do I feel that this name is a bit familiar?"
Fujino put away the phone and murmured in doubt.
In this world, those who can leave an impression on him are generally the characters involved in the plot of the original novel.
Either the murderer or the victim.
But he couldn't remember for a while.
The plot of Conan is really too long. There are more than 1000 episodes in the TV version, and it is impossible for him to remember every episode.
In addition to some classic cases, there are also key plots. If there is no key reminder, he will not be able to recall which [Su Fang Hongzi] corresponds to...
"My mind is a little confused..."
Fujino squeezed his forehead, feeling a little pain in his head.
After thinking for a while, he decided to search the Internet for more information about this Su Fang Hongzi.
Not just to see if I can find some key clues to recall the plot.
The other is to find out the way and see the reputation of the guy who is about to entrust him as the spokesperson.
If it turns out that the reputation is not very good, he can just reject it tomorrow on the grounds that he doesn't have time.
…………
"Su Fang Hongzi, the Red Society..."
Fujino leaned against the head of the bed, put the notebook on his lap, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard rapidly.
Soon, he found information about Su Fang Hongzi.
Although the search technology in this era is not very good, searching for such celebrities is still relatively simple.
Judging from the search results, Su Fanghongzi is indeed a big star as Okino Yoko said.
In the early years, she was called the "Canary of the East" because of her bright singing voice, and she was a representative of an era in the neon music scene.
But just 15 years ago, she suddenly retired from the music scene and established a management company called "Red Club".
Specially relying on commercial charity performances and various means to help those children who lost their families due to traffic accidents...
As for the dirty information Ikezawa Yuko said, that is another matter.
Almost 20 years ago, Su Fanghongzi's female assistant accidentally killed a woman while driving her car, and committed suicide after the hit-and-run.
[Red Society] was established shortly after the death of this female assistant. Therefore, the public and the news media often use this as an excuse to criticize Su Fang Hongzi.
However, that information is still somewhat controversial, and even if it is reported, there is no actual evidence.
Fujino looked around and felt that this Su Fang Hongzi had a good reputation, maybe he could speak for her.
…………
In the morning, the sky was just hazy and bright.
Just overnight, there was falling snow outside.
Everything in the city is covered with silver and clouds, just like a getting married bride.
From winter to spring, from autumn to summer, the world of Ke Xue no longer knows how many winters have ushered in.
Fujino has long been used to it.
He stood in front of the window of the detective agency, wearing an old suit that was pulled out from the system, looking at the snowflakes falling outside the window, and took a sip of the hot tea in the cup in his hand, feeling warm.
"Dong dong!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"come yet?"
Fujino was not surprised to hear this.
He put the teacup by the window, turned around, skipped the living room, and pushed open the door.
What appeared in front of him was an old man with an old complexion and gray hair, wearing a long black dress and a red shawl.
Behind her, there was a middle-aged woman wearing a gray suit, short black hair, and glasses who looked a little older.
Fujino invited the two into the living room, sat down in front of the sofa, and started talking.
After some understanding, Fujino learned that the white-haired old man was Su Fang Hongzi.
And following her was her assistant, Kazuyo Inada.
The purpose of their coming here this time is not for anything else, but to discuss matters related to the endorsement of the charity gala...
Su Fang Hongzi sat on the opposite sofa, her words were full of sincerity: "Our Red Society really hopes that Detective Fujino can endorse this charity gala, after all, no one is more suitable than 'Light of Hope' for those who have lost their lives." The children of the family bring hope."
"Light of hope?"
Fujino frowned slightly upon hearing this.
He didn't like Sister Li, why did he have another title for no reason.
The light of hope... feels a bit secondary.
"Light of Hope is the theme of our charity gala next week."
The female assistant on the side interjected: "Because the theme of this party is the light of hope, we believe that there is no one more worthy of this title than the heroic detective who just prevented an air crash."
"It is precisely because of this that we really need the endorsement of Detective Fujino."
Su Fang Hongzi didn't hold back, and directly talked about the main point: "If Detective Fujino is willing to endorse this charity gala, our Red Club will pay 500 million yen as your endorsement fee."
Fujino couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words.
It was 500 million yen at the first opening... This old lady's shot was straight and wrong, it was almost as good as Suzuki's family.
Are charities so rich?
Fujino was a little puzzled... But thinking about it, it was true.
Now he can be said to be famous.
In the previous high-altitude murder case, in order to cover up the scandal of its own co-pilot transporting drugs, a certain Japanese airline abruptly used public relations methods to transfer all the attention of this incident to the famous detective who saved the life of the whole plane.
As that famous detective, he has almost become a household name now.
Even though these days have passed, his news is still being broadcast on TV...
That is to say, in fact, the small amount of money spent on hiring him is more than the benefits obtained.
Fujino thought for a moment, and then he readily agreed to the endorsement: "Since Miss Su Fang is so sincere, I will accept this endorsement..."
"However, I don't have any contract to accept endorsement entrustment here. For this entrustment, I can't issue a contract for the time being. But I will definitely participate in the charity gala. If there is any work that requires my cooperation, you can call me."
"thank you very much."
Su Fang Hongzi stood up and bowed to Fujino: "For the deposit, I will ask my assistant to call your card tomorrow..."
"There's no need for tomorrow."
Fujino interrupted Su Fang Hongzi, and said with a smile, "We support mobile payment here."
"Does it support mobile payment?"
Seeing this, Su Fang Hongzi couldn't help being taken aback, and then waved: "Hedai."
"Yes."
The female assistant responded, and quickly took out a bank card from her bag straddling her chest.
Ding!
100 million yen credited to the account!
[Current system balance: 668 million yen]
After paying the deposit, Su Fanghong suddenly asked Fujino, "By the way, Detective Fujino, do you have time the day after tomorrow?"
"the day after tomorrow……"
Fujino was taken aback when he heard this.
Ask him if he has time for what?
An old lady in her 60s...
He's not that heavy mouthed.
Fujino thought for a while, but did not give an answer, and instead asked: "Is there any other related preparations?"
"Is such that……"
Su Fang Hongzi explained: "Many of the children sponsored by our Red Society are fans of Detective Fujino. If you have time the day after tomorrow, you can take the time to visit the orphanage. Those children should be very happy."
The female assistant next to him continued: "At that time, we will also arrange for Nikmai TV to film and report at the same time."
"I see."
Fujino suddenly realized when he heard the words, "The day after tomorrow, I should have time, just let me know when the time comes."
…………
In the car leaving the detective agency.
Inada and the driver seemed a little worried: "Teacher, is there really no problem with the commission of 500 million yen? It's too much..."
"It's ok."
There was a meaningful flash in Su Fanghong's eyes: "The remaining 400 million yen, I am sure to keep it in three days."
Inada Kazuyo still had doubts: "But..."
"There's nothing wrong with it. I can tell that although this kind of person looks snobbish on the surface, he is actually very gentle."
Su Fanghongzi leaned back on the chair, as if she was confident of winning: "What's more, even if 500 million is really wasted, the donations we can get will be much more than this... Take advantage of this time If there is an opportunity, we can also achieve a win-win situation.”
…………
At noon, the snow stopped.
After seeing off the two clients, Fujino had nothing to do for the time being, so he temporarily took over Miyano Akemi's work and asked her to take Hui Yuanai to go shopping.
Soon, Fujino received new orders.
It's a young couple.
After confirming the content of the meal, Fujino quickly mixed the drink and handed it to the young couple: "Snow King couple's secret set, please take it."
"OK……"
The couple took the plastic bag containing the drink, paused, and asked curiously, "Well, is Fujino Detective Fujino?"
"You know me?"
Fujino raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them unexpectedly.
"Both of us are your detective fans!"
The two seemed a little excited, and the boy among them said, "I just saw the news that you saved an airplane on TV yesterday."
"Well, can you sign our two cups, please?"
The girl seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
"It turned out to be a detective fan..."
Fujino suddenly realized when he heard the words, and then took out a black graffiti pen from his pocket, skillfully signed his signature on the cup, and then handed it to the two of them: "This should be all right?"
"Uh-huh!"
The two nodded in satisfaction, and said excitedly before leaving: "It's rare to be able to drink the drink that a famous detective prepared for us..."
"It's really memorable."
"My current popularity is a bit outrageous..."
Fujino watched the two people leaving the store, and couldn't help chuckling.
Unknowingly, more people asked him to sign.
What should I do if I feel a little uncomfortable?
But thinking about it, Fujino thought again, feeling that he had discovered a new market.
If there is a [Snow King Ice City Famous Detective Fujino Limited Joint Edition] drink cup, change the taste, and sign a few names, then the price of a drink should skyrocket by several hundred yen...
