Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 121 The boss loses his memory

"What important news? Dad, I have to go out to see a movie later."

In the evening, after everyone went home, the old man couldn't wait to convene a general meeting to announce something important. A-Zu asked questions on behalf of everyone, and he also had an appointment with Diana to watch a late-night movie, and it was almost time.

"This great news is that through my efforts and favors from other judges, our Ruhao Tea Restaurant's milk tea and ginger, scallion, chicken and black bean duck have made it into the final ten and will compete for the best sweet drink and best food respectively." Dadou said with a smile, taking all the credit on himself.

The second brother, the first brother Guang, and Kang Qirui looked at each other. The second brother frowned and said, "Dou, did you really get this back through the back door?" Dou saw that everyone was not happy at all, but frowned instead. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you? Aren't you surprised or delighted by such good news?"

"The organizing committee notified us this afternoon, and we knew the news a long time ago." The big boss just explained, and then asked nervously: "Dad, let's go back to the question that Zong asked just now. Did you spend the whole night drinking with them last night and use the back door to help us get the quota? If that's true, we would rather withdraw from the competition. We are doing business uprightly."

It turns out that everyone was worried about this. The old man couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He originally wanted to take credit, but it caused fierce opposition from everyone. He had to say awkwardly: "Well, actually..."

"What actually?" The nanny couldn't stand it anymore. The old man couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

My father sighed and finally told the truth, "It has nothing to do with me. I was busy drinking last night and didn't mention our tea restaurant at all. Later, when I was drunk, they let me stay in a guesthouse for a night. When I woke up in the morning, I knew that our tea restaurant was shortlisted, and I kept thinking about it..."

"I just wanted to come back and chat. Why didn't you tell me earlier, Dad? You made us worry for so long." A-Zu rolled his eyes, thinking that Dad's temper was childish. "I won't tell you anymore. I have an appointment with Diana to go to the movies. I'm leaving now."

"Come back early." The mother said, and everyone went back to their rooms or watched TV. But a few minutes later, A-Zu came back limping.

Kang Qirui had just stood up and was thinking about going to the kitchen to wash some fruit for his wife. When he saw A-Zu's appearance, he immediately ran over to help A-Zu sit on the sofa and asked, "Fourth brother, what are you doing?"

"I don't know who stole the manhole cover at the corner of the street. It was dark when I walked there just now and I didn't notice it. I fell down, and luckily I didn't fall in, but I sprained my foot." A-Zu rubbed his foot in pain. At this time, the mother brought him some activating oil, and A-Zu thanked her.

“Nowadays, people are stealing manhole covers?” A Yao didn’t quite understand.

"It's easy to steal manhole covers, and there's no one guarding them. And they're made of iron, so heavy and valuable. It would be strange if no one steals them, as they're convenient and valuable." Kang Qirui complained.

The mother was dissatisfied with A-Zu's gentle foot rubbing, so she started to rub his feet until A-Zu screamed, "The harder you rub, the faster he will get better. Okay, help him go back and rest."

Kang Qirui and A Yao helped A Zu back to the room. A Zu did not forget to call Diana to tell her about this. The two were flirting over the phone. After Kang Qirui returned to the living room, he said to everyone, "Just now when Fourth Brother was talking to Diana on the phone, he said that the street lights at the corner were not on so he could not see clearly and got it. Everyone should be more careful when going out at night, and finally bring a flashlight."

"Oh, A Guang just went out and didn't bring his flashlight." Hearing Kang Qirui's words, Xianglan stood up in a panic and said. "What are you doing out so late?" Kang Qirui asked.

"The door of our closet is broken, and he said he would go out and buy some hinges to fix it." Xianglan said worriedly. "Don't worry too much, the eldest brother is so old, he will be fine. He is different from the fourth brother. The fourth brother was in a hurry to see Diana and walked in a hurry without looking at the road. The eldest brother is so careful and he will be fine." Kang Qirui comforted.

But when Kang Qirui finished his shower and was ready to go to bed, Da Lao Guang still hadn't come back. Xianglan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. However, Kang Qirui didn't notice Xianglan in the living room. He thought Da Lao Guang had come back, so he dried his hair and went to bed. When he got up the next morning, he heard Xianglan asking his mother if she had seen Ah Guang.

"Didn't the boss come back last night?" Kang Qirui asked in confusion. Is this the part where the boss loses his memory? No, in the original story, it was A Yao who was knocked over by the manhole, and the boss fell in on his way back from buying a hammer. Therefore, Kang Qirui didn't react when A Zu got into trouble yesterday and the boss went to buy hinges.

"Yes, A Guang didn't come back all night, and he didn't bring his phone with him when he went out, so we can't contact him now." Xiang Lan was very anxious. "Did you go out to look for him last night?" Kang Qirui asked.

"Um, no, I've been waiting at home." Xianglan answered honestly. Kang Qirui was a little confused. Why was Xianglan still so naive? She has been the store manager for half a year. Has her personality not changed at all? If the person is really lost, can she wait at home to bring him back?
When Kang Qirui was complaining in his heart, A Yao opened the window and said, "Boss hasn't come back yet? I seemed to hear Boss's voice when I got up last night." Xiang Lan asked quickly, "Really? Third Uncle? When did you hear it?"

"I had set the alarm to watch the game last night, but after I woke up, I didn't dare turn on the volume for fear of waking up Sachiko. Then I couldn't stand it anymore when there was no sound, so I planned to go to the bathroom and go to sleep. That's when I heard the boss' voice, it was probably around three or four o'clock." A Yao recalled.

"So was it that when Guang came back last night he didn't go into the room to sleep for fear of waking you up? And then he went back to the tea restaurant early this morning?" the mother guessed.

"It's possible, let's go check it out." According to the plot, Lao Guang is indeed in the tea restaurant at this time, so Kang Qirui immediately suggested that everyone go back to the tea restaurant to check it out according to Ma's guess. And last night, A Yao heard Lao Guang's voice. If nothing unexpected happened, Lao Guang fell into the manhole and climbed out, touched the wrong door and knocked on the door of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, who didn't hear it and didn't open the door.

When everyone arrived at the tea restaurant, they saw a person sleeping at one of the tables. Kang Qirui stopped everyone and went forward to check. It was indeed Da Lao Guang. "Boss, what are you doing here?" He asked Da Lao Guang after waking him up.

"What's wrong with your head? You worried me to death. I thought you were missing." Xianglan heard Kang Qirui's words from afar and ran over immediately. Seeing the boss' bald head wrapped in gauze, she asked anxiously.

"I" The boss kept saying "I, I, I" for a long time without saying anything, and Kang Qirui confirmed that he had indeed lost his memory. He quickly signaled the second boss to close the door of the tea restaurant first, but the second boss did not understand Kang Qirui's meaning. He thought Kang Qirui wanted him to show up and play tricks on the boss. So he walked up and slammed the table and said, "You bold old thief, tell me the truth, did you steal anything?"

"I didn't steal anything." Da Lao Guang spoke in Mandarin. In order to prevent things from getting out of control, Kang Qirui had to close the door of the tea restaurant himself. When he came back and heard what Da Lao Guang said, he quickly said, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" While telling Da Lao Guang his identity, he also reminded others that Da Lao Guang's condition was not normal.

"Big Brother? Are you saying I'm your brother?" Big Brother Guang was still speaking Mandarin. Everyone knew that Big Brother Guang was abnormal. You looked at me and I looked at you. "Big Brother, you." The second brother also switched to Mandarin. "Big Brother, what's wrong with you? What are you playing? Why are you speaking Mandarin?"

"Brother? You are my brother too?" The elder brother Guang still looked confused. Xianglan started crying at this time, "Guang, what's wrong with you? How come you don't even recognize everyone?"

"What are you talking about? Take him to the hospital." The old man gave orders. "Hospital? I don't want to go to the hospital." When Da Lao Guang heard about the hospital, he wanted to run away. Fortunately, Kang Qirui closed the door just now, so Da Lao Guang couldn't run away.

"Brother, you can't even remember yourself, right? We are your relatives, your parents and brothers. You must have lost your memory, so we have to take you to the hospital for a check-up to see how to cure you." Kang Qirui stood up and said. This piece of Mandarin made him feel so awkward, but there was nothing he could do, the boss just lost his memory.
