Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 116 Director
"We're back."

Just as he was talking about his cousin Bing, he came back with two boxes of midnight snacks. The eldest brother looked at the door and asked in confusion: "Why didn't you come back with A Rui and the others? By the way, is it lively there?"

"It was very lively, with huge crowds of people. We didn't see Arui and the others after we separated at the door. You know, how could we find them with so many people? So we came back by ourselves and brought some midnight snacks with us," explained cousin Bing.

The boss thought that it was true. The stadium could hold tens of thousands of people. If the seats were not together, it would be difficult to meet them again. At this time, Lao Dou asked, "A Bing, how do you feel about watching the opening ceremony live? How is it different from watching it on TV?"

"I don't feel anything. I just watched the athletes enter the stadium, sing and dance. I think it should be like this." Cousin Bing was vague, and his cousin's wife was obviously unnatural. Er Lao shook his head and lamented that the tickets were wasted, while A Zu asked: "Cousin, are all the stars on the poster here?" Not all the stars who came to the scene had performance tasks, some were just there to watch the show.

"Posters? Yes." Cousin Bing put down his midnight snack, took the poster from his cousin's wife and spread it out for everyone to see. "I specially tore off a copy for you. Isn't it clearer this way?"

A Yao thought that what Cousin Bing said was strange, and they came back too early. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Cousin?" Hearing this, Cousin Bing pointed at the stars on the poster and said, "Look at it like this, you can even see the teardrop moles at the corners of their eyes clearly. If you go in and look, you can't even see their faces clearly."

"So you didn't go in?" A Yao became even more suspicious.

Cousin Bing smiled awkwardly, "I wanted to go in and see it too. When we got to the gate in a taxi with Arui and his wife, Arui and his wife went to meet up at their school. We went to the gate to check our tickets, and someone asked me if I wanted to sell it to them, and offered to pay me a hundred yuan more. I said no at first, but someone offered a thousand yuan, so I sold it to them."

Ah Yao was so angry that he stood up, "I worked so hard to get two tickets, and you used them to scalp? Forget it, where's the money?" Cousin Bing pointed at the midnight snacks on the table and said, "I used the money to buy some midnight snacks, including rice noodle rolls I bought at the street corner. I used the rest of the money to buy a return ticket on a luxury bus. I used the rest of the money to buy a pair of earrings for my wife, and now I've spent it all."

"I said yesterday that I wouldn't go, but you insisted that I draw lots." My cousin's wife can be irritating. Seeing that everyone seemed really angry, my cousin Bing quickly pulled my cousin's wife back to her room. Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling didn't return to the Kang family until after 11 o'clock in the evening. Everyone had already gone to bed, and the whole family witnessed the opening of the 08th National Games with Kang Qirui. Thinking about it, it was quite a pity. Kang Qirui thought that he must take his whole family to Beijing to watch the Olympic Games in .

The next night, it was almost nine o'clock when A Yao came back drunk. As soon as he entered the Kang family's house, the smell of alcohol made everyone cover their mouths and noses. "Third brother, aren't you? Your cousin sold your ticket, so you can't watch the opening ceremony. You don't have to be so heartbroken, right?" Kang Qirui said jokingly.

"It has nothing to do with cousin Bing. Am I such a stingy person? I was happy, and I only drank a little bit because I was happy." A Yao staggered to sit on the sofa. "Happy? Are you so happy because your wife is away on business for a few days? I heard that your wife will be back the day after tomorrow, so what? The last bit of freedom, right?" The second brother also teased A Yao.

"It has nothing to do with Sachiko. From today on, I, the deputy section chief, am dismissed." Ah Yao was drunk, and everyone thought he was lying. How could he be so happy after being dismissed? "Third brother, are you happy or sad? You must be too sad after being dismissed, right?" Ah Zu asked worriedly.

"He must have been too shocked and stupid." The eldest brother said, covering his nose. The second sister-in-law agreed, "Uncle, this is the smartest thing you have ever done in your life."

"I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you interrupting? Next time, raise your hand before speaking." A Yao was still drunk and said with a smile, "The deputy section chief was dismissed, but he became the director. Deputy director of the Organization Reduction Committee of the Administrative Management Section of the Foreign Economic and Trade Department. In charge of the diversion of undergraduate personnel."

When everyone was happy for A Yao, Kang Qirui said, "He is still a deputy, deputy director."

"Ah Rui, of course the official one is our director. I'm not bragging, I'm enjoying the treatment of a regular section chief this time." When talking about this, Ah Yao became more serious. He has been a deputy section chief for six years, and he is particularly serious about this. The second brother also sighed: "Finally, I took off my pants, hahaha."

"Then how many people are there in your department?" The big boss only grasped the key issue and divided the people. How many people were divided? "Including me, there are four." A Yao held up four fingers. The second boss was surprised, looked at everyone, and then asked: "Then you, the deputy director, only manage three people? The old man manages more people than you." Everyone laughed, and A Yao stood up unconvinced and said: "Although my position is not high, the power is..." As a result, he fell drunk on the sofa before he finished speaking. Everyone had no choice but to help him into the room to sleep.

Two days later, on Thursday, November 11, Kang Qirui had a lot of classes and got off work late. When he came back, he happened to meet A Yao, and they walked into the house together. "Director Kang is back?" As soon as he entered the door, he heard a female comrade greet A Yao.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. I'll go in and cook first." When the nanny saw A Yao and Kang Qirui coming back, she made the excuse of going in to cook so as not to disturb their conversation. In fact, the nanny hadn't cooked for a long time, and now Sister Hong was the one who cooked.

"Do you two know each other?" In addition to the woman, there was another outsider in the Kang family, Kou Shuiwei. A Yao introduced Kang Qirui to him, "This is my colleague Xiao Yun, and this is my brother Kang Qirui. Sit down, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Kang Ke, your complexion has improved a lot since you became the director." Xiao Yun did not sit down, but stood and flattered. Kou Shuiwei continued the conversation: "That's right, you are so proud and your face is so red."

A Yao naturally didn't buy it. He waved his hand and said, "Shanshuiwei, stop drooling more than the sea water. If you have something to say, just tell me. I don't plan to keep you at home for dinner." In fact, when A Yao saw Xiao Yun, he probably guessed what their matter was, so he didn't speak politely. He didn't intend to be partial on the issue of diversion.

"Kang Ke. No, Director Kang, you've guessed it even if I didn't tell you. It's all about layoffs. Please, don't let me get laid off." Xiao Yun said sincerely after sitting down. "I really can't make the decision on this matter." Recently, A Yao always said the same thing to everyone who came to see him.

Of course, Kou Shuiwei didn't believe it. "No way? You are the director, can't you just say a word?"

"Come to think of it, Xiao Yun, layoffs and redeployment are not that scary. Even if you are redeployed, arrangements will be made. Why are you so panicked?" A Yao avoided the question and refused to give anyone a chance to criticize him.

Xiao Yun thought to herself, you sound so nice, why don't you divert yourself? But she pleaded, "If I get off the job, my whole family will starve to death." She pointed at Kou Shuiwei and herself.

Kang Qirui interrupted at this time, out of pure curiosity. "What does your layoff have to do with him? And isn't Kou Shuiwei the manager of the electronics mall?" He saw Kou Shuiwei as the manager of one of the stores in the electronics mall when he went to buy an air conditioner.

"He is my family member now, and he has been laid off for three months, and was fired by the electronics mall a long time ago." Xiao Yun continued to play the victim. "What? He is your family member? Kou Shuiwei, please explain clearly, what about Feifei?" Feifei was A Yao's high school classmate, and she and Kou Shuiwei were in love before, so A Yao was furious when he heard Xiao Yun say Kou Shuiwei was her family member. Isn't this cheating on his classmate?

"Don't get me wrong, we have different personalities. Feifei broke up with me a long time ago, and I met Ayun after the breakup." Kou Shuiwei quickly explained, "When I was sad, Ayun healed my pain, so you must help us."

"How can I help you?" Since he was not playing both sides, A Yao could not say anything. However, he chose to play dumb when it came to the diversion. "If you don't lay me off, he won't starve to death." Xiao Yun said it bluntly.

"Don't worry, my saliva is as fat as a pig's head, how can I starve to death?" A Yao continued to play dumb and tried to change the subject.

Xiao Yun continued to plead, and A Yao kept playing dumb. After talking too much, Kou Shui Wei dropped his disguise and became angry. "Are you kidding me? You are just a small official pretending to be so important. If you make A Yun lose her job, I will punish you." He looked like he was going to fight. A Yao and Kang Qirui were not afraid of him. Seeing this, Xiao Yun pulled Kou Shui Wei away, fearing that the three of them would really fight.
