Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"It's raining? Damn it, Tianxiu doesn't even know if he closed the window, his bed is going to get wet."

Late that night, the mother was awakened by the sound of rain. After waking up, she knew it was raining outside and subconsciously worried about Tianxiu. She got out of bed and walked to Tianxiu's room. She saw flashes of light inside through the cracks in the room. She couldn't help but wonder, "There's no thunder and lightning outside. What's going on?"

She pushed the door open and saw that it was Tianxiu, the poor guy, who was playing computer games with the lights off and headphones on. She couldn't help but curse, "What a jerk! You're still playing computer games in the middle of the night?"

"I won't have any fun starting tomorrow, so of course I'll have enough fun tonight." Tianxiu said pitifully. He tried to get the mother to let him go by acting like a spoiled child.

But the love that Mazi gave him was not the kind of doting, where she would do whatever he said. Mazi's love for him was the kind of rational love. In Mazi's eyes, Tianxiu's health was more important than anything else. Playing computer with the lights off in the middle of the night not only hurts the eyes, but staying up late is also bad for the body, so she would never allow it.

Therefore, his mother insisted that he turn off the computer and go to bed immediately. Tianxiu wanted to struggle, "Can you please not tell my dad and mom? If they knew I'm still playing games, they would definitely beat me."

The mother sighed and said, "You don't have to tell me, but you have to tell me how to turn it off." The mother finally chose to take a step back.

"No need, just press it like this. If you want to lock it, use the password lock." Tianxiu still wanted to fool the mother, and thought he would continue playing after the mother left.

Ma Zi really eats more salt than Tian Xiu eats rice, so she naturally saw through his plan. She spread her hands and said, "You don't care, right? I'll let Uncle Yao come up and take care of it. If I come up and still see you playing, I'll tell your mom and dad."

Tianxiu had no choice but to turn off the computer himself.

At 7 o'clock the next morning, the second sister-in-law woke Tianxiu up according to the study schedule. After brushing his teeth and eating breakfast, she took him to do morning exercises in the courtyard. Tianxiu had gone to bed late last night, so he was naturally very sleepy at this time, so he just perfunctorily answered the second sister-in-law's question.

"Can you be more alert? You've already woken up." The second sister-in-law became impatient when she saw his expression. She stepped forward and pulled up Tianxiu's ear, saying harshly, "I'm being kind to you. You're a teenager, but now you look like a sick student. Pay more attention, one, two, three, four, turn your waist. You're fat here, lift it up a little."

The second sister-in-law kept correcting Tianxiu's movements. The nanny couldn't help but said when she saw Tianxiu's sleepy look, "Achan, he is so sleepy, let him sleep for a while. He... last night..." She didn't have too high expectations for Tianxiu's grades. Her only requirement was that Tianxiu be healthy. Lack of sleep is obviously unhealthy.

"No, grandma." The second sister-in-law rejected it outright: "You will spoil him if you spoil him like this. He set the study plan himself. Today is only the first day. How can you back down like this? You'd better get on with it." The last sentence was said to Tianxiu.

At this time, the second brother came out of the dining room with a schedule and came in front of everyone and said, "It's seven fifty, go poop, go poop, go."

When Tianxiu heard that he didn't have to do morning exercises, he immediately ran to the toilet. Once he entered the toilet, he didn't come out for a full half an hour.

"Second brother, you've been squatting for more than half an hour and you haven't come out yet." Kang Qirui finished breakfast and saw that Tianxiu hadn't come out yet, so he shouted to the second brother and his wife's room. They were now packing things for Siyu and waiting for her to get up. "No way? It's not hereditary, right?" Hearing this, the second brother hurried out of the room, "Your father, I've only been there for twenty minutes, and you've even been there for more. Is there anything wrong, son? Open the door."

After a long while, there was no sound coming from the toilet. The mother guessed, "Did he fall asleep in there?"

Mama knew that Tianxiu didn't sleep much last night, but Erlao didn't know that. He said speechlessly: "Mama, do you think it's good to sleep in the toilet?"

"Actually, he didn't sleep for very long last night. He was playing video games the whole time." The mother had no choice but to tell the truth.

When Er Lao heard this, he immediately broke open the door and pulled Tian Xiu out from inside. The mother was beside him and asked with concern, "Did you pull it out?"

"I just fell asleep and you woke me up again." Tianxiu complained angrily. Erlao got even angrier when he heard that. It's only the first day and the first hour and they haven't been able to follow the schedule. Isn't it a waste of time to make the schedule?
He took Tianxiu back to his room and supervised him to study. According to the schedule, Tianxiu had to study until 9:10, drink a glass of water, and continue studying until 10 o'clock before taking a break. Kang Qirui shook his head. He had to go to the TV station today and had no time to care about the battle of wits between the two father and son.

His program "Kang Qirui Talks about the Three Kingdoms" has been fully broadcast and has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet. Although there are many negative voices, the part where he said that there was no empty city plan in history has been discussed the most.

But generally speaking, the praise far outweighs the criticism, so both the TV station and CCTV's "One Hundred Schools of Thought" program team are interested in inviting him to host another show.

CCTV and the provincial TV station were very sincere and accepted Kang Qirui's opinions in many aspects. Kang Qirui himself also hopes to use the "Lecture Room" program to improve his reputation and influence in the industry. He is now a professor and doctoral supervisor, which is the top of his professional title. The only further advancement he can make is in administrative positions.

However, in addition to literary level and teaching performance, resources, connections and impressions are also very important for advancement in administrative positions. His age of 20 years old does not naturally give him an advantage. Imagine if a professor in his 60s and a professor in his s compete for an administrative position as a director, what would the result be?

The result of not offending anyone is that the current person in his 60s will be appointed as the director, and the next person in his 20s will be appointed as the director.

But a gang leader who fishes without a helmet told us, who knows what will happen in the next term? Maybe there will be another 60-year-old professor competing, so should we let the older one do it first?

Therefore, Kang Qirui could only improve his influence in the industry by appearing on TV programs. The person who gave these lectures in his previous life later became the dean of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Arts. Kang Qirui also wanted to set up an Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Arts at CUHK.

The couple was in love and agreed to produce two programs, namely "Han Dynasty Celebrities" and "Pre-Qin Philosophers and Hundreds of Schools of Thought", which are the main research topics of Kang Qirui, a professor of ancient literary history. (End of this chapter)
