Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Mr. Wu's girlfriend is the woman in pink over there, do you see her?"

After becoming Wu Jiaping's stand-in, Da Lao Guang's first task was to accompany Wu Jiaping's girlfriend to eat and go shopping. Da Lao Guang wanted to refuse, but Secretary Diao said it was work and rejected it. Da Lao Guang had to follow Secretary Diao to a western restaurant with trepidation. Secretary Diao pointed at a girl in the corner of the door and said to Da Lao Guang: "Her name is Ayun. Remember to act more realistically. Don't be too nervous. If anything goes wrong, I will come to rescue you."

After getting Secretary Diao's assurance, Da Lao Guang plucked up the courage to walk into the western restaurant. As soon as Ayun saw him, she walked over to him and hugged him and said coquettishly, "Jiaping, why did you come so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time." Da Lao Guang couldn't stand this and he immediately pushed Ayun away.

Ayun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Da Lao Guang tentatively. Da Lao Guang became nervous and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you look like me?" Ayun still didn't say anything, so Da Lao Guang got anxious and said, "Are you kidding me? How am I not like me?"

After Da Lao Guang said Wu Jiaping's classic stuttering catchphrase, Ah Yun finally felt relieved. She took Da Lao Guang's arm and said, "No, I didn't say you don't look like him. I just think you're a little fatter."

The boss nodded and said, "Yeah, I've been too busy lately and haven't had time to rest. You look fat. Sit down and we'll talk." Then he waved to the waiter and ordered two cups of coffee.

"Jiaping, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but you don't seem to have anything to say?" Ah Yun took the initiative to sit next to Da Lao Guang, and said with a flat mouth: "You used to be so talkative." She even touched Da Lao Guang's thigh, and scared Da Lao Guang so much that he immediately stepped back, "You... you are messing around. You are mistaken."

"What's wrong with you today? You can't even be touched?" Ah Yun scolded, "You used to like this the most."

The boss didn't know how to respond to her. Fortunately, the waiter brought the coffee and he was relieved. He changed the subject and said, "Drink the coffee while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Ah Yun couldn't do anything about him. After taking two sips of coffee, his eyes moved and he looked at Da Lao Guang and said, "Jia Ping, I just went to Wan Jia Hui and saw a fur coat. It costs more than 2,000 yuan. Shall we go buy it later? And then stay at my house overnight, okay?"

Hearing this, the boss was so flustered that he spit out the coffee in his mouth. "Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom." He quickly got up and ran to find Secretary Diao, and said anxiously: "Secretary Diao asked me to stay at her house overnight. I'm a stand-in, not a prostitute. I..."

Secretary Diao smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Alright, alright, you've passed today's test. You can go home first." This was originally the ultimate test that Mr. Wu gave to Lao Guang. Lao Guang was stunned for a moment, then said, "What about Ah Yun?"

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Let me handle it. President Wu will be here later. Wait for my call on what time you will go to work tomorrow." Secretary Diao said so. The boss nodded and agreed, then went home.

Kang Qirui had dinner with his colleagues in the department tonight and didn't return to the Kang family until after 10 pm. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Da Lao Guang sleeping on the sofa. He woke Da Lao Guang up and asked, "Big brother, why are you sleeping here?"

After waking up, the boss wiped the saliva from his mouth and asked, "Is there a phone call for me?"

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law?" Kang Qirui asked with a frown.

"What are you arguing about? I'm waiting for a call." The boss just waved his hand, and Kang Qirui's brows furrowed even more. "You don't have to wait here for a call, right? Didn't you let him call your cell phone? Even if it's a landline, you can go back to your room and wait."

The boss just waved his hands and said in distress: "You don't understand. I'm telling you that I'm in a very bad mood right now. I want him to call me, but I'm also afraid that the phone will ring. I don't know what to do."

Kang Qirui was just about to say something to comfort him when the phone rang. Da Laoguang immediately rushed over to answer the phone, but after his hand touched the receiver, he hesitated. After a few seconds, he said to Kang Qirui nervously, "A Rui, help me listen to see if it's for me."

Kang Qirui didn't answer it. "Boss, what's wrong with you? You're waiting for the call when it doesn't come, and you don't answer it when it comes. You answer it yourself, I'll go in first."

Da Lao Guang had no choice but to answer the phone himself, "Hello, who are you looking for? Wrong number, Wu Jiaping isn't here." Then he hung up. Kang Qirui had just walked into the dining room and heard Da Lao Guang's words from afar and couldn't help shaking his head. He was Wu Jiaping's stand-in now, so the call was obviously for him.

Sure enough, the phone rang again soon. When Da Lao Guang answered the phone, he was a little complaining, "Hello, I said you were calling Secretary Diao?" Secretary Diao scolded Da Lao Guang on the other end of the phone and asked him to forget his name and say that he was Wu Jiaping no matter who called.

Kang Qirui returned to the room and first went to see his sleeping daughter, then said to Zhu Wanling, "There is a dinner party tomorrow at noon, please accompany me." Zhu Wanling nodded and agreed, then asked, "What dinner party? Are there any leaders?" "No, it's just that the people from the publishing house in Beijing came to sign a contract with me, and we're just having a meal after signing the contract." Kang Qirui said as he looked for a change of clothes. He had previously planned to film Xiyangyang's third movie "Love Is Not Blind", and he had written a novel at the same time.

After he finished the novel, he submitted it to various major publishing houses. With his fame in the literary world, he quickly attracted positive responses from many publishing houses. In the end, he chose CITIC Press in Beijing. "How much did they pay you to sign your novel?" Zhu Wanling asked curiously.

"I gave 8% of the royalties." Kang Qirui responded, then took his clothes and went to take a shower.

The next day, Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling left Kang Siqi to be taken care of by Lao Dou's mother and went out. After signing the contract in the morning, they went straight to the hotel. The dinner lasted until 3 pm. There was nothing to do at home at this time, so they discussed going to the movies. They hadn't spent time alone for a long time, so they just had some time to be romantic.

This romance lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening when they returned to the Kang family. As soon as they entered the door, the maid said to them in a bad mood: "Where have you been? Didn't you say you would have lunch? Siqi doesn't want to go to bed until you two come back. Take the child to bed." Zhu Wanling quickly agreed, picked up her daughter who was so sleepy but insisted on waiting for her to come back, and went back to the room.

Kang Qirui pulled the mother's arm and said, "I had a rare free time today, so I went out to play and forgot the time. Hey, she doesn't sleep, why don't you call me?" The mother glared at him and said, "I don't want to bother with you, I'm going to sleep."

Kang Qirui shrugged and was about to go back to his room when he saw Da Lao Guang coming in with a few take-away boxes in his hands. He originally thought that he was late enough, but he didn't expect that Da Lao Guang was even later than him. As soon as Da Lao Guang came in, he invited everyone to come out for a midnight snack. He packed up some squab and roast goose for everyone.

When everyone was having supper, Big Boss Guang started to brag about what happened today, "You know what? I went to a karaoke bar with a bunch of big bosses today. After I sang a song, they clapped their hands very hard. They clapped once for each song. Today I realized that I can sing so well."

Kang Qirui smiled and said, "Boss, it's not like we haven't heard you sing before. If you're tone-deaf, just stop blowing. People are applauding just because of the three names you call Wu Jiaping." Kang Qirui didn't want the boss to lose his correct understanding just because of sweet words.

Everyone was talking and laughing when Xianglan took out her phone and said, "Honey, your phone rang twice and then stopped. What's going on?" Da Laoguang took the phone and saw a new message. He clicked it and read, "One peanut and two dates, your wallet will be swollen and you will have money. Three apples and four pears, you will be close and inseparable. Five oranges and six tangerines, you will be refreshed and all diseases will be cured. Seven apples and eight oranges, you don't have to hold a spatula all day. Nine mangoes and ten melons, a pig cage will be great in the water."

"Honey, why are these all fruits? What does it mean?" Xianglan asked puzzledly after hearing this.

The eldest brother shook his head and said, "I don't know what it means, maybe I sent it to the wrong person." The old man smiled and said that this was a doggerel, which was quite funny and catchy.

This doggerel is not only catchy, it also saved the boss once at a critical moment. He went to the opening ceremony of the fruit market alone that day, and was suddenly called on to speak on the stage. He panicked and didn't know what to say. Fortunately, he remembered this doggerel at the end, took out his mobile phone and started reading it. After listening to it, the people in the audience applauded.

After tasting the sweetness, Lao Guang used this poem as his personal speech in two subsequent social events and a company meeting, and then was scolded by Secretary Diao. Lao Guang, who was scolded, still didn't understand why he was scolded. After returning home, he told everyone about the incident with a wronged look on his face.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The old man said unhappily, "Guang, why don't you use your brain? How can you read out the fruit information directly? You should learn how to adapt."

"Husband, you're destroying your own job by doing this." Xianglan complained.

The big boss was unhappy. He said loudly: "Why do you have so much to say? How many books have I read? How can I know what to say at this moment?"

Facing the angry Big Brother Guang, the Second Brother was not afraid at all and said, "Why are you angry? Old Dou is right, you should be flexible. Just change the information before you read it. For example, if you go to a restaurant to cut the ribbon, you can say one pound of beef and two pounds of wine, and walk around with your belly rubbed. Isn't that quite appropriate?"

"Three crabs and four pounds of shrimp, full and drunk, laughing. Five pots of mutton and six pounds of vegetables, happy old love and loving wife." A Zu followed the second brother's words and improvised the following. The eldest brother felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened. He waved his hand to interrupt A Zu and said angrily: "Alright, alright, don't say anything. I have such a talent and IQ, do I need to be a stand-in?"

A-Zu glanced at him, his eyes rolled, and continued, "I haven't finished yet, listen: seven pots of pork offal and eight fish, and the boss is having a big sweet potato." (End of this chapter)
