Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Brother Niu, I found it, I found it."

Three days later, Big Brother Guang knocked on Brother Niu's door with a book.

"Found it? Great, give it to me." After Niu opened the door, he became excited when he heard Da Lao Guang's excited words. But Da Lao Guang didn't give it to him. He hid the book behind his back and said, "Wait, pay first and get the book later."

It turned out that everyone failed to find the book that day, so Niu promised to reward anyone who found the book for him with 10 yuan. Yesterday, he was getting more and more anxious and raised the reward to yuan. Today, Da Lao Guang saw a customer eating with a book in the noodle shop. He recognized the title of the book at a glance, which was exactly the same as the book Niu was looking for. He bought it from the man with a free ticket and yuan, and opened the last page. Sure enough, there was a phone number on the picture. He rushed to Niu's house as soon as possible. Because he was too anxious, he knocked down a person at the gate of the community. The person was holding a pile of books.

"If we really count, Xianglan has to call me cousin, how can I deny your debt?" Brother Niu was speechless. He went behind Da Lao Guang and snatched the book away with one hand, but when he saw the title of the book, he was completely confused. Da Lao Guang panted and asked, "How is it? Have you checked the goods? Give me the money, give me the money."

Brother Niu looked at him speechlessly and said angrily, "What money? For your head?"

"Hey? Are you going to default on your debt now?" The big boss got angry when he heard it.

"Who is refusing to pay? You are the one who is refusing to pay! Look, what book did you bring me?" Brother Niu smashed the book brought by Da Lao Guang on his stomach. Da Lao Guang took the book and cursed, "You said it yourself, some possible metaphysics." He was suddenly stunned, "How to raise breeding pigs? How did it become this book?"

"Tell me, what does this girl have to do with this pig?" Brother Niu said and slammed the door shut, not letting Da Lao Guang in. Da Lao Guang stood at the door for a long time before he realized that the man who had just knocked over the gate of the community accidentally swapped his book with his.

He thought about it, and then waited at the gate of the community until the evening, but he didn't see the man again. He returned to the Kang family with a lost face, and everyone asked him what happened when they saw him like this, and he told everyone what happened.

"So, big brother, you just knocked away 2000 yuan with a slight collision?" The second brother knew how to summarize, "You saw the phone number, why didn't you write it down? What Brother Niu really wants is the phone number, so it doesn't matter whether you have the book or not, right?"

Originally Xianglan was sulking with her head down, but after hearing what Er Lao said, she looked up and said helplessly: "I said at the time to copy down the phone number, but Guang got so anxious that he ran over directly, and I couldn't even catch up with him." As she spoke, she pinched Da Lao Guang's arm, and Da Lao Guang screamed in pain.

After a while, Big Brother Guang said confidently, "Don't be afraid, I have thought of a way, just wait for me." Then he ran back to his room. After a long while, he returned to the living room with a small stack of papers, "I wrote some notices, lost and found, and I will post them at the entrance of Brother Niu's community. When the person who lost the pig breeding method sees him, he will take my book to exchange it, right?"

"Have you written down the remuneration? What is the remuneration?" asked the second brother.

"It's a small reward." The second sister-in-law added.

The boss just waved his hands and said, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. What's the reward for everyone exchanging their books?"

Kang Qirui shook his head, disagreeing with Big Brother Guang's point of view. He said, "Why would anyone give it to you if you don't write it? Books like that are worthless, and maybe they have already bought another one. Write down the exchange and I'll give you 200 yuan. Money makes the world go round."

"Write a low remuneration, don't specify the amount. We can negotiate it later." Er Lao has dealt with many people, and he thinks it will be more tempting not to write a specific amount.

The boss just nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll add it when the time comes."

The next day, while Da Laoguang was still posting notices outside, a bunch of people came to the house and said they had lost their books and wanted to claim them. Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling had no choice but to ask them to wait in the living room until Da Laoguang came back to identify them.

It was not until the afternoon that Da Lao Guang and the others who had gone out to post the posters returned to the Kang family. "Boss, they all said they lost their books and brought the metaphysical books over there to exchange for them. Go and identify them." Kang Qirui said to Da Lao Guang, then turned to the group and said, "All of you stand in a row and let me identify them." "No way? So many people came at once?" The second sister-in-law who went to post the posters together said with emotion. Xianglan said excitedly, "Honey, there must be one person among so many people. Go and take a look."

The boss only observed for a while but couldn't figure out which one it was. He even forgot what the man looked like. He thought about it and asked, "Who lost the book?"

Those people all raised their hands and said that they lost the book. "Which one is it?" The big boss looked helpless.

"I told you it was me."

"It's me."

Those people started talking at once, and the boss's head was swollen. The second sister-in-law pulled him and said, "Uncle, why do you say that? How can you ask like that? If you ask like that, everyone who can come here will definitely say that it's them."

"Then I..." The eldest brother didn't know how to refute. The second sister-in-law said with disdain: "Stand aside and let me ask." But in the end, she asked what the lost book was called and what color it was. These information were clearly written on the recruitment paper, so naturally everyone could answer them and it was impossible to tell them apart.

"Isn't there a phone number on the last page of the book that Brother Niu wants? Boss, why don't you ask them to turn to the last page and show it to you?" Kang Qirui reminded Boss Guang, who quickly asked each of them to turn to the last page of "Entropy: A Possible Metaphysics" in their hands, and he went up to check them one by one.

In the end, no one had the book that Niu was looking for, so Big Brother Guang sent them away with a disappointed look on his face. In the next few days, more and more people came to exchange books for the small reward, and Big Brother Guang was fed up with it.

Before breakfast, another person came. Da Laoguang dragged his tired body to welcome the person into his house. When the person saw Da Laoguang, he took the initiative to say, "I recognize you. I'm here to get the book on breeding methods for breeding pigs."

"Okay, okay, no need to say so much. Just open the book you picked up and check it from the last page for me." Big Brother Guang said impatiently.

The man did as he was told, opened the book and handed it to Big Brother Guang to read. Big Brother Guang said as usual, "So you bumped into it for nothing. Wait!" He saw a phone number handwritten on it, and he was immediately surprised, "This is it, this is it. Sir, wait a moment, I'll give you your book on breeding technology for breeding pigs, and we'll exchange."

After the two exchanged books, Da Lao Guang was so excited that he kept staring at the phone number and didn't think about the small reward at all. The man waited for a while and when he saw that Da Lao Guang didn't mention it, he shook his head, smiled and walked out of Kang's house.

Big Brother Guang learned his lesson this time. He did not deliver the book to the Kang family but called Brother Niu to pick up the book himself. "Yes, yes, this is the book, this is the book." After getting the book, Brother Niu was even more excited than Big Brother Guang. He finally got the contact information of the beautiful girl.

He immediately called the girl to ask her out for coffee. When he hung up and was about to leave, Da Lao Guang quickly grabbed him and said, "Brother Niu, where is the reward you promised me?" Brother Niu then remembered and took out 2000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to Da Lao Guang, apologizing, "Sorry, sorry, I was so excited that I forgot."

When Niu walked out of Kang's house in the morning, he was excited and happy, but when he walked into Kang's house in the afternoon, he looked sad and listless. Everyone asked him what was wrong, didn't he go out to meet a beautiful girl?
Brother Niu said speechlessly: "You don't know, the woman said that it was boring and uninteresting that I found the book so quickly. Then she said she wrote her name on a piece of paper and put it in a drifting bottle into the Pearl River, and it drifted to the sea along the current of the Pearl River."

"She said that if I could find the message in the bottle, she would admit that we were destined to be together and she would be willing to date me. How could she be playing with me? She must be trying to play with me to death!"

Everyone burst into laughter after hearing Brother Niu's story. It was obvious that the girl didn't want to date Brother Niu, so she used this excuse to reject him. (End of this chapter)
