Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Director Ye, is what you just said true?"

The garbage sorting in Changsheng Street was only carried out for two weeks before it was no longer heard. The same old problem still existed: even if everyone sorted the garbage strictly, the garbage trucks would still take it all away together. What difference does it make whether or not to sort the garbage?

Even many recyclable garbage, which citizens have sorted and delivered to their doorsteps, are still not handled by the sanitation department or related manufacturers, or are unwilling to handle them. Not to mention Guangzhou in 05, even Shanghai, more than a decade later, still can't handle garbage sorting.

Kang Qirui believes that garbage sorting is difficult to achieve because the garbage sorting measures introduced so far have focused on getting people who throw garbage to follow the rules. This is obviously wrong! If garbage sorting is to succeed, the key must be to get the relevant industrial chain that handles garbage to follow the rules.

Although Changsheng Street has only implemented garbage sorting for two weeks, Director Ye has seen Diana actively respond to everyone's questions about garbage sorting and enthusiastically help everyone deal with various conflicts during these two weeks. Therefore, she came to Kang's house that day and planned to hire Diana as a non-staff cadre of the street office, so the old man asked Director Ye a question for confirmation.

"Of course it's true. How can you joke about this?" Director Ye said with a smile, "Diana is so enthusiastic about the public welfare work of the street. Of course we should put her in the right position and let her do more for everyone."

"Director Ye, to be honest, Diana really inherited the consistent style of our Kang family, selfless and uncompensated." A Zu stopped Diana who wanted to agree immediately and said carefully: "But I think your street office is appropriate."

As he spoke, he pretended to cough twice. The second brother glanced at him speechlessly and said, "Why are you coughing? Just say it if you have something to say. He means that Diana should be given an appropriate salary." Upon hearing this, A'zu also chuckled twice. This was what he meant, and it was better if the second brother said it.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a salary. We won't let Diana do volunteer work, but we still have to follow up on the specific salary." Director Ye made a promise that was not quite a promise, and then she changed the subject and said, "There is one more thing. It's the end of the year now, and our street is planning to hold a skills competition to welcome the New Year, such as tailoring, speaking English, speaking Mandarin, and there are many prizes. Your Kang family is full of talents, so you must actively participate, okay? Then I'll leave first, I have something else to do."

Ah Zu quickly stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

A Zu sent Director Ye out, Kang Qirui and Er Lao chatted on the side. Ersao said to Diana: "You are amazing, you have a chance to get it."

"Zha? What does that mean?" Diana asked confusedly.

"This 'Za' is not that 'Za'." The second sister-in-law thought Diana thought 'Za' was the 'Za' in 'Za Huan', so she quickly explained, "This 'Za' means promotion. Director Ye just said that he wants to hire you as a street cadre, and being a cadre means 'Za'."

As she spoke, she looked at A-Zu who had just returned from sending Director Ye home and said, "Now your wife has a license plate and is no longer a regular on the street, hahaha."

"Street bastard? What does this mean?" Diana didn't understand again.

Diana didn't understand, but someone else did. A-Zu said speechlessly, "Second sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?" How could he not be angry when someone said his wife was a gossip?
The second sister-in-law smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, that's not what I meant. I meant that apart from those directors of the street, you are ranked eighth. That's quite high."

This was all resolved by the second sister-in-law, and Kang Qirui and the second brother laughed. Diana also smiled and said, "I don't mind any ranking."

During dinner that day, Diana was constantly answering the phone. The eldest brother sighed, "It's really different for Diana to be a street cadre. She has to answer so many calls for a meal. Fortunately, I wasn't asked to do it, otherwise the little money I earn wouldn't be enough to pay the phone bills." "Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Ask you to do it?" The second sister-in-law almost spit out a mouthful of food. She said, "I'd rather ask you to do it than me. Put the two of us together and you don't have to say who is smarter and more capable, right?"

"Of course it's my second sister-in-law." A-Zu said with a wry smile, "My second sister-in-law, if you want to do it, why don't I tell Director Ye?" My second sister-in-law immediately shook her head and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, don't." She didn't want to go to work. She couldn't even take care of two children at home.

After the second sister-in-law stopped A-Zu, she gossiped with Diana, "Are all those calls just now telling you that there will be supper tonight?"

Diana shook her head and said, "No. They want me to be a judge for this street skills competition."

"Did you agree?" asked the second sister-in-law.

"I agree." Diana nodded. The second sister-in-law was immediately excited. She was so excited that even the second brother looked confused. "Why are you so excited? What does this have to do with you?"

"Of course I'm excited. With our own people as judges, we will definitely win prizes in the competition." The second sister-in-law said proudly, "I heard that the prizes this time are very generous, including microwave ovens, rice cookers, and even a frying pan."

Tianxiu was moved by what his second sister-in-law said. He asked excitedly, "Mom, are there any video game competitions? I want to join in, too."

Kang Qirui happened to be sitting next to Tianxiu today. He touched Tianxiu's head and said with a smile: "Xiuzi, which parent nowadays would let their child play video games? Do you still want to play game competitions? Of course not." As he said this, he suddenly felt a little regretful. If Tianxiu had been born five years later, he might really have had the opportunity to embark on the path of playing professional game competitions.

"I can't miss this competition no matter what. As the saying goes, there will be no boat to take after Suzhou, so I will go to participate in the English competition." A Zu said.

"Wife, why don't you sign up for that Mandarin competition. You're from another province, so you'll have no problem speaking Mandarin and will definitely win a prize." The boss thought about it and recommended Xianglan to participate in the competition.

"Can I do it? I speak Mandarin with a bit of a southern Henan accent." Xianglan was a little unconfident.

The second sister-in-law waved her hand and said, "You don't have to shoot. We have Diana as the judge. Even if you have a southern Henan accent or an African accent, there will be absolutely no problem."

Diana felt more and more uncomfortable as she listened. After thinking it over, she decided to go to Director Ye the next day to propose a suggestion.

The next day, when my father and mother came back from their walk, they immediately called everyone together and said, "This is what happened. I just passed by the street office and heard them say that they were going to revise the rules of the competition."

"How to change it?" (End of this chapter)
