Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Be the stand-in for Mr. Wu? Eight thousand a month?"

At noon that day, a special guest came to Da Lao Guang's restaurant. The special thing about him was that he looked exactly like Da Lao Guang, with the only difference being that he had a mole at the corner of his mouth. When the guest and Da Lao Guang met, they were both very surprised, and after observing for a long time, the guest asked his assistant to invite Da Lao Guang to his company.

The man said his name was Wu Jiaping, and he was the boss of the Xixili Group. He hoped that Da Laoguang could be his professional stand-in and attend those meaningless social events for him, such as dinners and teas. Although Da Laoguang was very interested, he did not agree to it immediately, but said that he needed to go home and discuss it with his family.

After the elder returned to the Kang family and told everyone about the matter, A-Zu asked the same question at the beginning. He said, "Is there any need to discuss this? Hurry up and agree to it. You can get food and money. Why are you still hesitating?"

Da Lao Guang was actually very tempted. He said, "That's true. 8,000 yuan a month. Xianglan and I can't even make 8,000 yuan in three months running a restaurant." Da Lao Guang's shop has been doing average business since it was converted into a restaurant in May. After deducting the costs of labor, water, electricity and other expenses every month, he doesn't make much.

"Uncle, are you really going to be a stuntman?" The second sister-in-law asked doubtfully, "What will happen to the restaurant after you leave? Will it depend on you alone? Besides, being a stuntman is very dangerous. You will be blamed for others at any moment. If you get chopped, you won't know what happened."

Xianglan originally agreed with Da Lao Guang to be a stand-in. The restaurant's business was just average, and it was just so-so whether Da Lao Guang was there or not. Besides, when Da Lao Guang was the informant before, she was the only one who managed the restaurant, so she was used to it. But after hearing what Second Sister-in-law said, she hesitated again, and said, "Second Sister-in-law, don't scare me, is it really that dangerous?"

"Sister-in-law, I don't think something is right. Think about it, there is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky." Sachiko thought for a while and said, "I am a boss after all, how can I have so many unnecessary social engagements? Even eating and drinking tea are for various purposes." Sachiko has the most say in this regard. She has served as the general manager of a clothing company and a confinement center.

Xianglan and Da Lao Guang were even more hesitant now, but Lao Dou said, "I don't think it's as terrible as what the second and third sisters-in-law said. I don't think it will be a scapegoat or a trap. It's normal for a big company to invite many people to dinner and not be able to spare the time."

A-Zu also supported the boss to go, "So you don't understand, sister-in-law? Your confinement center is all about pregnant women. You can get a bed if you pay. Why should I invite you to dinner? I'm different. We are a film and television company. I don't know how many people want to invite me to dinner for a role or investment opportunity. If I can't make an appointment, I'll ask Miss Tang. Even Aqi has someone to invite him."

"Mr. Wu has such a big company, it's normal for many people to want to invite him for dinner and socializing. You are just too surprised. Where can you find 8,000 yuan for eating and drinking?"

The boss already had an inclination in his mind after hearing this, but he still turned around and asked Xianglan: "Wife, what do you think?"

Xianglan thought for a moment and said, "I think if your life is not in danger, I would agree to let you give it a try. As for the restaurant, business is not so good right now, and we can still handle it without you."

After getting Xianglan's support, Da Laoguang became more determined. He decided to agree to let Wu Jiaping be his stand-in. Kang Qirui thought about it and said nothing. Da Laoguang was not in any danger this time, so it was good for him to make some money.

The next day, Big Boss Guang dressed neatly and went to work at Xixili Group. He came to the office of Secretary Wu Jiaping and reported, "Secretary Diao, good morning."

"Mr. Kang, please take a seat." Secretary Diao had some things to deal with, so he asked Da Lao Guang to sit aside and wait. After waiting for a while, Da Lao Guang saw that Secretary Diao had finished his work, so he asked, "Secretary Diao, I haven't had breakfast today. Who should I go to drink tea with later?"

"Drink tea? What kind of tea?" Secretary Diao was stunned by the boss's question.

"Didn't you ask me to come to work just to eat and drink for Mr. Wu?" Big Brother Guang was also confused. Secretary Diao shook his head and smiled bitterly, saying, "I understand. You misunderstood Mr. Kang. It won't be that fast. You must first understand Mr. Wu's living habits, words and deeds, and then you must understand his family situation and the situation of our Xixili Group. Otherwise, how can others believe that you are Mr. Wu when you go out?"

He paused, and then said, "Starting from today, I will give you intensive training for a week. You can only take up the post after you pass the test. Look at you, wearing a single-breasted suit that looks like preserved vegetables and a pair of cloth shoes. It's so out of place. How can you go to those big events?"

"Secretary Diao, are you kidding me? This is my most expensive piece of clothing. Is that not acceptable?" The boss retorted with a frown. Secretary Diao did not want to argue with him and waved his hand, "Alright, alright. From now on, our company will buy all your clothes for you. Now I will tell you about Mr. Wu's living habits. This is the first lesson of the intensive training. I hope you can learn it well."

Secretary Diao then dictated and imitated Wu Jiaping's various habits in life, and spoke for two hours. "Do you understand what I have said?" Secretary Diao asked after he finished speaking.

Da Lao Guang nodded and said, "I have almost remembered it. Why don't I repeat it to you?" Secretary Diao nodded, and Da Lao Guang continued, "Boss Wu walks very fast. He likes to put his left hand in his trouser pocket when he walks."

"Wrong, it's the right hand." Secretary Diao reminded. "Yes, yes, it's the right hand." The boss smiled awkwardly and continued, "He likes to touch his nose with his hand when talking to people."

"Wrong again. You should touch your chin with your left hand." Secretary Diao said impatiently.

The boss patted his head and became more reserved. He nodded and said, "Yes, chin, chin. Also, he speaks very quickly, which shows that he has a very low self-esteem."

Secretary Diao couldn't hold it in anymore this time. He slammed the table and stood up and said angrily: "Kang Qiguang, are you kidding me? You said three wrong sentences. You are full of confidence. What are you talking about inferiority complex? Can you wake up a little bit?"

Big Brother Guang quickly admitted his mistake and said, "I just said it wrong in a hurry. As far as I remember, he is always very gentle when talking to girls, right? Also, he likes to drink a few glasses of water before eating. Am I right?"

Secretary Diao glanced at him unhappily and said, "Remember this carefully. Also, these are the basic information about our Xixili Group. Take a look. When you have memorized the information about President Wu and the company, you can start work."

"So many?" The boss sighed as he looked at the pile of information that Secretary Diao was pointing at.

In the next week, Da Lao Guang followed Secretary Diao to learn everything from Wu Jiaping. He didn't know how many times he was scolded during the process, but fortunately he passed the test smoothly in the end. After passing the test, Wu Jiaping was very happy and asked Secretary Diao to take Da Lao Guang to get dressed so that he could officially take up his post.

"Honey, I'm back." After getting dressed, Lao Guang returned to the Kang family. His elegant appearance attracted everyone to come over. Xiang Lan said excitedly, "I almost didn't recognize you. How did you become like this?"

Da Lao Guang sat down with a painful look on his face, "I have never worn leather shoes before, and they pinch my feet so much that they hurt after wearing them for a day." He took off his shoes while complaining. A Zu looked at the leather shoes that Da Lao Guang took off and said in shock: "Wow, these are famous brands. They cost thousands of yuan a pair. I also saw them when Diana and I went shopping a few days ago, but I couldn't bear to buy them. Where did you get so much money?"

The boss smiled proudly and said, "This pair of leather shoes is not very expensive, only more than 2,000 yuan. Do you know how much my suit costs? More than 5,000 yuan!"

"Boss, you are wearing all branded goods now. It seems that you have passed the job as a stuntman? Have you done your hair carefully?" Kang Qirui asked.

The boss nodded. "Yes, I finally memorized the information after a week. Today, Mr. Wu randomly checked me and I got 10 out of 8 correct. Although I didn't get all of them right, Mr. Wu said it's normal for people to forget what they have done, so he let me pass."

After a pause, he continued, "Are you talking about my hair? This hairstyle is based on Mr. Wu's. Now I know that it costs thousands of yuan for rich people to get their hair done, which is equivalent to a month's salary for ordinary people."

Because of this expensive hairstyle, the boss was afraid to sleep at night and sat on the bed all the time. Xianglan asked: "Husband, are you really going to stay up all night?"

"There's nothing I can do. If my hair gets messed up, how will I go to the social event tomorrow? Tomorrow is the first time I'll be Mr. Wu's stand-in. If I get recognized, I'll be done for." The boss just sighed.

"So you're going to sit like this all night?" Xianglan thought for a moment and advised, "If you don't sleep, you won't have the energy to attend social events tomorrow, and something bad will happen, right?"

Big Brother Guang was shocked for a moment. In a hurry, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Wife, don't you have a shower cap when you take a bath? Why don't you give it to me? This way my hair won't be messy."

Xianglan also thought it was feasible, so she went to the bathroom to get the shower cap and gave it to Da Lao Guang. The way Da Lao Guang put it on made Xianglan laugh, "Hubby, you look ugly wearing this tonight. Sleep with your back to me. I can't sleep looking at you, haha."

"Do I look ugly now?" The boss said helplessly, "Even if I look ugly, I won't be seen by others. What are you afraid of? Let's go to sleep." (End of this chapter)
