Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 208 A Juan
"Uncle Kang, Uncle Kang, I was just looking for you everywhere."

The next day, Sachiko went to her old insurance company with her husband and mother to apply for insurance. They spent the whole morning choosing two life insurance policies. After they finished, they were stopped by Ajuan as soon as they returned to the street corner. Ajuan even took the husband's hand, but the husband quickly shook it off, and the mother was watching them.

A Juan is one of Mrs. Zhu's tenants (Chapter 177), but she doesn't usually interact with him. I only know that she is married to a man who calls himself Mr. Mai. I only heard her flattering: "Uncle Kang, I heard that you are a veteran in the accounting industry and the executive secretary of the Accounting Association. In terms of finance, if you are second, no one dares to claim first place."

The old man was so happy that he was beaming with joy. The maid asked jealously, "Ajuan, what do you want to talk to my uncle about?"

As the saying goes, if you are too nice to someone, you are either a traitor or a thief. Ajuan came to see her father for something. "I have a problem and I want to ask Uncle Kang for help. If Uncle Kang doesn't help me, I don't think anyone else can help me."

"I want to help you, right? No problem. What's it?" Before my dad even asked what it was, he agreed immediately.

As Ajuan and her husband's mother Sachiko walked back to Kang's house, they said, "It's like this. I have an interview tomorrow that involves finance, so I want to ask Uncle Kang for some advice on finance and accounting."

Although the mother felt that Ajuan was too coquettish, she couldn't say anything since they were neighbors and asked for help for such a small matter. So she had to let the father-in-law agree to let Ajuan come home and give her lessons in the afternoon.

That afternoon, Dad gave Ajuan a full three-hour lesson. His mouth was dry from talking so much that he had no choice but to lend her his treasured accounting book and send her away. When Ajuan went out, she happened to meet Kang Qirui and A Yao who were off work. She said hello to them in a sweet voice and left.

"Dad, what is Sister Juan doing here?" A Yao asked.

Kang Qirui saw the book in Ajuan's hand just now, and couldn't help asking, "I saw that the book in her hand was your treasured collection. You didn't even let us brothers touch it before, so why did you lend it to her?"

"It's like this. Juan is eager to 'recharge'. She said she will apply for the position of financial director of a company tomorrow. Today she came to ask me some questions, and she asked me all afternoon. I really had no choice but to give her the book and let her read it herself." said Da Dou.

"CFO?" Kang Qirui and A Yao were both stunned. After a moment, they said, "She has just come to learn accounting from me, and she dares to apply for the position of CFO? I feel like she doesn't even know what a CFO does."

"I don't know whether she dares or not. I only know that I'm thirsty and hungry now. I'll wash my hands and eat." The old man waved his hand and said indifferently.

However, before they finished their dinner, Ajuan, who had just returned home less than half an hour ago, came to the door again. "Uncle Kang, Uncle Kang," her voice came into the dining room from outside.

When the second brother heard the voice, he became very excited and wanted to stand up. The second sister-in-law was so angry that she slapped him and said, "Did I call you? Why are you so excited?" The second brother smiled awkwardly and lowered his head to eat.

"I'm coming." The father's response was a little helpless. But the old woman didn't hear it. She snorted and said, "Are you in such a hurry? You ran out without even eating."

"Uncle Kang, you look ten years younger all of a sudden. How can dad not be overjoyed to hear that? This is called beauty is a feast to the eyes. It doesn't matter whether you eat the food or not." The second brother was a spectator who enjoyed watching the fun and talked a lot.

The second sister-in-law sang a different tune and helped Dad to excuse herself: "Yes, yes, do you think they are all like you? Do you drool when you see a woman? What does Ajuan want from you, Dad? Is she old enough and can drive away the wind?"

"Drive away the wind? Driving away the wind is not bad either." The second brother continued to argue.

Upon hearing this, the old woman sighed and said, "Like son, like father."

"Mom, why do you involve us?" Kang Qirui joked, then said seriously: "Ajuan is preparing to apply for the position of financial director, so she must be very busy. The whole street can only come to ask dad for help. You don't have to worry, mom. Dad has nothing to do anyway, so let him go and help others." "I didn't say he shouldn't help others, I just said he shouldn't be so anxious and don't even eat. By the time he comes back later, the food will be cold and he will have a stomachache if he eats it." said the mom.

As soon as she finished speaking, her father came back. "What bad things are you saying about me again?" He had heard everything just now.

"I'm praising you." Er Lao said with a smile: "You're almost seventy, and you still have a second spring."

"I'm saying that you are very willing to help others. You've even worked so hard to help others that you forget to eat and sleep." Kang Qirui also laughed.

"Eat your meal, why are you talking so much?" The old man got angry when he heard this and taught him a lesson: "You should learn from Ajuan if you are kind enough. She is a girl who came to Guangzhou from another province and has no accounting knowledge. She dares to apply for the position of financial director. Do you dare?"

It's fine to say other things, but Kang Qirui disagrees with this. He thinks Ajuan's behavior is not worth encouraging. She wants to get rich overnight without knowing anything. Kang Qirui has been a university teacher for two years after all. He doesn't want his students to have such frivolous personalities. He thinks it's better to be down-to-earth.

He was about to refute his father when he heard the voice of "Uncle Kang, Uncle Kang" from the outside. "Here he comes again, Uncle, go open the door." The second brother patted his father on the shoulder.

In this way, my uncle went in and out several times during the meal, and my mother was very distressed. After the meal, she went to the kitchen to stew a bowl of chicken soup, "Uncle, drink this soup quickly, or your stomach will be upset again." It was stewed for two hours, and it was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that my mother took it out and gave it to my uncle.

At this time, Lao Dou was really a little uncomfortable. He felt better after drinking a bowl of hot soup. After drinking it, he put the stew pot on the table and sighed: "Ajuan is not smart and has poor quality. It's harder to teach her than to pull a cow up a tree."

"Then why are you so enthusiastic about teaching others?" The second brother didn't believe what his father said.

"Oh, they have come to me begging for help, how can I refuse them? Besides, they are the tenants of your younger brother's mother-in-law, so I have to give them some consideration." The old man explained the reason to everyone helplessly. It was not that he did not want to refuse, but that he could not refuse.

A Yao thought for a moment and looked at Er Lao, "A Er, you have the most ideas. Help Lao Dou think of a way to get rid of this trouble. If she keeps coming to our house like this, Lao Dou will be annoyed too."

"It's easy, Dad, just tell her that there is a Sino-foreign joint venture company that wants you to be the financial director." Er Lao was really smart and immediately thought of a solution. And A Yao was even smarter than her, "One word can wake someone up from a dream, Dad, why do you have to spend so much time teaching her? You can just apply for the job of that company yourself. With your talent and qualifications plus the golden signboard of Caishen Kang, you will definitely win."

The second brother was also excited when he heard this, "Asan is right just this once, if Ajuan can do it, then you can do it too. Don't you always say that teaching your apprentices well will make you starve to death? Why don't you just do this yourself?"

"Dad, do you know that the annual salary of a financial director is at least hundreds of thousands." The second brother was afraid that Dad would not be tempted, so he added another sentence.

"Hundreds of thousands? That's an accountant. The company that Juan applied for is a multinational corporation. The financial director of such a large company earns at least half a million, not counting dividends and allowances." A Yao laughed at Er Lao for being worldly-wise. Er Lao didn't get angry, but became more excited. "What are you thinking, old man? It would be a waste not to take such a good offer."

My father shook his head and said, "I am already over 60 years old. How can I still be the financial director?"

"What's there to be afraid of being in your sixties? Aunt Liu was in her forties and still tied her hair into pigtails to act like an 18-year-old student. It's good to be in your sixties, as it shows you're experienced. Being a financial director isn't a physical job, you just sit in an office, so what does age matter?" The second brother disagreed with the elder brother's idea.

My father was convinced. He believed that young people would not be chosen for such an important position as the financial director. Instead, older people would have an advantage.
