Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"He actually still has a passbook from Huaxia Bank? Five hundred thousand? And it was deposited today?"

On the first day of June, Zhang Yongfang thought about taking David back to his hometown in southern Henan to meet relatives and friends first, regardless of the wedding. She came to David's residence to help him pack his things, but accidentally found that he actually had a Huaxia Bank passbook, so she opened it and looked at it. David saw her looking at the passbook at this time, and hurriedly said, "Why are you peeking at my things?"

"Didn't you say you had no money? Where did you get so much money?" Zhang Yongfang did not respond to the peeking, but questioned: "And you just deposited it two days ago, what's going on?"

"Your ex-husband gave it to you." David did not hide it.

"Dalao Gong?" Zhang Yongfang frowned, looking puzzled. David continued, "He came here two days ago and gave me 500,000 yuan in cash, saying it was for you, so I saved it."

Zhang Yongfang frowned even more tightly, "Since he gave me the money, why is your name written on it?" She said, pointing to the account name on the passbook.

"We are getting married, this money is our joint property, what's the problem?" David shrugged, spread his hands and said as if it was a matter of course. Zhang Yongfang was so shocked that her mouth opened wide and her eyes almost popped out. She said speechlessly: "You said it nicely, joint property? When I asked you to pay for the wedding, you said you had no money. Now you secretly saved my money and said it is our joint property."

She took a breath and continued, "Why didn't I see at the time that you were such a selfish person."

"It's a very common thing in our country." David said as if it was a matter of course, "You have an idiom, 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog.' Isn't your money my money?"

Zhang Yongfang was so angry that she laughed, "Then do you know we have another idiom?" David shook his head. Zhang Yongfang continued, "It's called infatuation and wishful thinking!" After saying that, she slammed the door and left with the passbook in her pocket.

Today, Daluogong came to Kang's house again. After giving David the money that day, he has been unhappy. He feels relieved and regretful. He has been conflicted for two days. So today, after he came to Kang's house, he told everyone about the money, thinking that he would feel better after talking about it.

"Brother, this is where you're wrong. You are very rich now? Why did you give half of your money to that foreigner?" The second brother was puzzled after hearing this. He didn't understand Dalaogong's behavior at all.

Kang Qirui also didn't understand. He thought: Is this love? He shook his head and said to Da Laogong: "I called you that day and told you that Yongfang asked me to borrow money. Didn't I tell you that David was reluctant to pay and that he and Yongfang would probably fall out because of the wedding? Why did you pay for their wedding yourself? Doesn't he want to get Yongfang back?"

Da Laogong sighed and said, "I understand what you mean, but I don't want to see Yongfang running around asking for money for her wedding. We are husband and wife after all. If she really likes that foreigner, how can I bear to see them fall out over money?"

For the first time, Kang Qirui was shocked by someone's words. Is this pure love? Kang Qirui believed that no one was purer than Da Laogong, and the honest people who took over could not compare to him. He scratched his head and said, "You are not right? Since you love her so much, why don't you try your best to get her back? Do you really think that David can treat Yongfang better than you? Make Yongfang happier?"

Da Lao Gong sighed again and said, "That's why I'm like this. I don't regret giving them money. I'm just afraid that the foreigner will treat Yongfang badly."

Just when everyone was about to say something, Zhang Yongfang walked into the Kang family with a depressed look on her face. She saw that Da Laogong was also there and her face lit up. Just as she was about to speak, the second brother asked first, "Aren't you taking your foreign husband to meet your relatives?"

"I didn't take him with me." Zhang Yongfang said calmly.

Da Laogong was secretly delighted, but he said sarcastically: "Female Chen Shimei, you were dumped by that foreigner, right?"

"Bah! I tell you, this time I dumped him, not him dumping me." Zhang Yongfang emphasized, then leaned towards Da Laogong and said, "Dalaogong, I tell you, if you call me Chen Shimei again, I will ignore you." Huh? What kind of drama is this?
Zhang Yongfang told everyone what David had done. After this incident, she realized what kind of person David was and also understood Dalaogon's feelings. Therefore, she came here this time to reconcile with Dalaogon.

Although Zhang Yongfang was indeed bold in love and hate, Kang Qirui couldn't stand it. Isn't this a scumbag who cheated on his wife and found out that she was a mistress, and then turned back to find the original wife to take over? He was about to speak, but Zhu Wanling quietly pulled him to give him a look. He looked in Zhu Wanling's direction to Da Laogong, and saw that Da Laogong was full of joy and accepted Zhang Yongfang's change of heart at the first time. The two of them were talking and were about to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a new marriage certificate.

Kang Qirui shook his head and went back to his room in frustration. Zhu Wanling followed him in and asked, "Haven't you always supported Da Laogong's decision to get Zhang Yongfang back? Why do you look like this now?"

"I support Daluogong in getting Yongfang back, because Daluogong still likes Yongfang, so if he wants to get her back, I will definitely agree." Kang Qirui said, "But now Zhang Yongfang is back with Daluogong, so the nature of the situation is different. Who is getting back together is very important."

"But don't they always make up in the end?" Zhu Wanling asked puzzledly.

"How are they the same?" Kang Qirui thought for a moment and gave an example: "For example, Tianxiu and Tianyou had a conflict, and Tianxiu beat Tianyou. Tianxiu asked Tianyou to apologize and then they reconciled. This is correct. But what if Tianyou begged Tianxiu not to be angry, and they reconciled in the end. Yes, they reconciled in the end, but is this right?"

Zhu Wanling understood, but she shrugged, "But the two have reconciled, we can't separate them and ask them to reconcile in the right way, right?"

This is why Kang Qirui was sulking. He felt that the way to reconcile was wrong, but he couldn't stop the couple from reconciling. He just felt that things shouldn't be like this.

It wasn't until June 6th that Kang Qirui's mood improved. That day was the opening day of the Shanghai Film Festival. "Night Club" was shortlisted for the Film Channel Media Awards and was selected as the opening film. Kang Qirui and Miss Azu Tang took Aqi, Ajun and a group of leading actors to attend the premiere event at the Shanghai Cinema.

It was hot in Shanghai in June, but as the opening film of the film festival, the audience was not less, and the entire cinema was full. Seeing this scene, A Zu's originally nervous mood relaxed a little. He leaned towards Kang Qirui and whispered, "It would be great if the attendance rate could be half of this after the official release."

"Your idea is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Kang Qirui shook his head. The attendance rate of Wolf Warrior 50, which later became the box office champion in Chinese film history with a box office of more than 2 billion yuan, was only 38%. What does a 50% attendance rate mean? Kang Qirui didn't dare to think about it. Seeing that the movie had officially started, he put away his joking thoughts and said, "Let's watch the movie first and observe the audience's reactions."

The movie officially started
The name of this movie is "Night Club", but it does not refer to that kind of night club, but to the night shop. It tells a series of interlocking and interesting thrilling and funny stories that happened to a group of urban little people in a 24-hour supermarket in one night.

He Sanshui (Xu Zheng), an unemployed but principled man, bought a winning lottery ticket in a supermarket but was refused payment by the proprietress. In desperation, he took his nephew Tire to "rob" the supermarket's overnight turnover to seek justice. He hurriedly kidnapped the shop assistants Li Junwei (Qiao Renliang) and Tang Xiaolian (Li Xiaolu), put on a uniform and took charge of the supermarket himself, but encountered a series of nonsensical customers and made a series of jokes. He had no choice but to "ask" the real salesperson to help.

The "kidnappers" used their personality charm to dramatically conquer the "hostages". In order to achieve their "fair" goal, they put up a crazy sign of 50% off for the entire supermarket, attracting a large number of customers. Just when He Sanshui was about to "grab" enough lottery tickets for himself, a real robber came to the supermarket.
Qiao Renliang is not yet 18 years old, but his performance in the movie is mature beyond his age. This time he was nominated for the Best New Actor Award. Kang Qirui couldn't help but look at Qiao Renliang who was sitting a few seats away from him. This was the first time he saw Qiao Renliang alive. Qiao Renliang also noticed that Kang Qirui was looking at him, so he nodded in a friendly manner.

Kang Qirui gave him a thumbs up and praised him in a low voice: "Good acting!" Xu Zheng on the side also said: "Xiao Qiao is indeed very talented in acting, and he can be vigorously cultivated." Qiao Renliang is an artist signed to Xiyangyang, so Xu Zheng said this.

"Of course, Ren Liang is the first artist we signed and he is young. We plan to send him to Shanghai Film Academy for further studies." A Zu also joined the discussion, but Xu Zheng turned his head away and said nothing after listening.

A Zu looked puzzled. He looked at Kang Qirui in confusion. Kang Qirui thought for a moment and said, "Xu Zheng is from the Shencheng Drama Academy."

A-Zu nodded, so that's how it is. But sending Qiao Renliang to the Shanghai Film Academy was a collective decision of the company, and it would not change because of Xu Zheng's expression. He stopped talking and watched the movie seriously and observed the audience's reaction. (End of this chapter)
