Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 209 Age Discrimination
Because of what Er Lao and A Yao said, Lao Dou couldn't sleep all night. When it was almost dawn, he finally made up his mind and went to apply for the position of financial director in person. He thought that Er Lao and A Yao were right. Except for his age, he was completely qualified for the position of director.

After he figured it out, he fell asleep and slept until noon. After a quick lunch, he went out to apply for a job. The second brother A Yao knew that his father had gone to apply for a job and didn't even go to work. He returned home early to wait for good news from his father.

"Dad, how is it going? Did you get the job?" It was almost six o'clock when dad finally came back. As soon as he came back, the second brother couldn't wait to ask.

The old man was very angry and yelled at the second brother: "It's all your fault, you poor boy. What do you mean by getting more valuable as you get older? That's bullshit."

"Please don't tell me that you failed the job interview. We didn't even go to work just to wait for your news." I knew what was going on from the old man's tone, but the second brother still asked without giving up.

The old man's face was burnt black, and he was so angry that his head was dizzy. He went to apply for a job today, but they didn't even let him into the company. Although Juan didn't get the job, she was still allowed to go in for the interview. That's why he was so angry. He almost lost face.

"Dad, don't be angry. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be the director." Big Brother Guang comforted him at the right time.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not angry. That crappy company has no manners at all. I wouldn't go even if they invited me." The old man said angrily, "That manager is so lewd. His eyes lit up when he saw a young girl. He even came to the door to greet her. What about me? I couldn't even get in when I got there."

Kang Qirui shook his head and said, "Forget it, Dad. If you didn't get the job, then you didn't get the job. Your family isn't waiting for you to go out to work and have dinner. Why are you exhausting yourself like this?"

"Do you think I'm doing this for the money? I'm just making use of my remaining energy, do you understand? Do we old people have to stay at home and eat and drink and wait to die?" Daddy refused to admit that he was attracted by the annual salary of the financial director, but instead had his own explanation. And it must be said that what he said did make sense.

"Dad, didn't you tell him that you are the famous God of Wealth Kang?" asked the second brother.

"You're such a dead man." The old man rolled his eyes at the second brother. If you tell others whether the God of Wealth is healthy or not, wouldn't it make people laugh? "I asked the receptionist, and they said they only recruit people under 60 years old. Even if you say you are the king of the world, it won't work."

The second brother was surprised. "Then you lost half a million dollars when you got older? Isn't it said that accountants become more valuable as they get older?"

"You can't blame others for this. All companies now adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. No matter how healthy you are or how good your skills are, once you reach the retirement age of 60, you are asked to pack up and leave." A Yao, the old section chief of the company, is most aware of this one-size-fits-all approach.

“As the saying goes, it’s a futile effort to carry water with a bamboo basket. Accountants also have difficulty overcoming the age barrier.” The second brother made a concluding speech.

Speaking of this, my father became even angrier. "What kind of world is this? I was discriminated against for my age when I went on a trip, and now I am discriminated against for my age when I go to Ying Ping's financial director position. I now understand that people of our age can only wait in line."

"Dad, where do you want to queue?" Only the eldest brother didn't understand what his father said.

Lao Dou didn't expect that someone would actually ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before angrily saying, "The big chimney!" Da Lao Guang suddenly didn't know how to respond.

The second brother had an idea: "By the way, if you didn't say you were 68 when you applied for the job today, but said you were 58, I think you would definitely get the job."

"You need to register your ID card. Do you think you are exactly how old you say you are?" The old man shook his head, thinking that the second brother was crazy.

"You also said it was written on the ID card. Can you rewrite it?" The second brother said something that shocked the audience. Can the information on the ID card be written by yourself?

Everyone started to criticize the second brother, but Lao Dou, the person involved, thought it made sense. He gave an example and said, "There was a guy named Huatou Wen in our previous unit. He was still an accountant at the age of 60. He was supposed to retire like that, but he went back to his hometown and wrote a certificate saying that he had reported his age incorrectly and subtracted two years, making it 58. It was so good that he got an accountant. So what A Zong said makes sense."

Seeing that his uncle also supported his idea, the second brother became more bold: "So, uncle, if they can do it, why can't we? That's 500,000 yuan. Shall we go back to the countryside to ask Uncle to modify it tomorrow?"

"No, no, how can age be changed casually?" Kang Qirui objected firmly.

"Why can't we just change it? How did my colleague change it? How did those athletes change it? I can do it if I can do it, so what are you afraid of?" Er Lao believed that his idea was right, and he said passionately: "Even if we are found out in the end, so what? If you cheat for a year, you will get 500,000, and if you cheat for half a year, you will get 250,000. It's so easy to make money, you'd be struck by lightning if you don't take it."

The old man thought seriously about the consequences of changing his age, shook his head and said, "No, I am a law-abiding person, I cannot do such illegal things." Although he was very moved by what the second brother said, he was also very scared. "Old man, you can't die, even if you are arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment, what will happen? How many years can you still serve?" The second brother's words made the old man so angry that he raised his hand to slap him hard. After he dodged, he continued, "Besides, you are already this age, which prison will accept you? Think about what I say, old man."

Finally, the old man was persuaded by the second brother, and agreed to go back to the village committee with the second brother tomorrow to ask his uncle to write a certificate to change his age. Kang Qirui and the eldest brother tried to persuade him for a long time but failed, and were even driven out of the room by the old man. "Forget it, eldest brother, the old man won't listen. Let him hit the wall." Kang Qirui couldn't do anything about the old man.

Big Boss Guang nodded helplessly, knowing that his father would not turn back unless he suffered a loss.

The next morning, the second brother drove his father out without even having breakfast. They went straight to the uncle's house but didn't find him. After asking, they found out that the uncle was in the ancestral hall, so they turned around and went to the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village.

"Great uncle, do you still recognize me?" The old man and the second brother walked into the ancestral hall and saw great uncle and several villagers drinking tea. They walked over, sat down and greeted them.

"I'm full. Have you eaten?" My uncle was a little hard of hearing and didn't hear what my uncle said, but he was still very polite.

The old man and the second brother looked at each other, and the old man said, "Uncle, my name is Pig Intestine." The old man said his nickname. It was the first time that the second brother heard that the old man had such a nickname, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Pig intestine? Pork intestine is delicious. Stir-fried pork intestine with soybean sprouts is my favorite." Not only is my uncle hard of hearing, he also looks confused. The conversation was completely on different wavelengths.

The old man had to talk about many things from his childhood to try to evoke the great uncle's memory. After talking for a long time, the great uncle nodded and said, "Oh, Pig's Intestine. I remember it. Your nickname is Pig's Intestine because you were born in the year of the pig. I was also born in the year of the pig. I am 12 years older than you."

"Dad, it seems that great uncle is not completely senile yet. Remember he is twelve years older than you." Er Lao whispered to Dad, and then said to Uncle: "Great uncle, you are wrong. My dad is born in the year of the rooster. He was born in the year when Radish Head was driven away."

"No, no, your grandfather was born in the year of the Rooster, and your uncle was born in the year of the Pig." The uncle recalled and emphasized, "There is no way your uncle was born in the year when Luobotou was beaten away. Your uncle just said that he had avoided Luobotou when he was a child."

The second brother glared at his uncle and blamed him for talking nonsense. The second brother bullied his uncle for being ignorant and said stubbornly: "Uncle, you heard it wrong. My uncle didn't say to hide from carrots just now. Believe me, my uncle is really born in the year of the rooster."

Er Lao's persistence finally made my uncle believe his lies, so he took his uncle and his father to the village committee to ask the village chief to write a certificate.

"Village chief, I used to be very familiar with your father. Your father is very good at catching fish. He could catch fresh fish and water snakes in just a short time after going into the water." After everyone got to know each other, the father began to try to curry favor with him.

The village chief interrupted him, "Kumber, you are getting off topic. You are looking for me because of the age issue, right?"

"Yes, yes, you know there was chaos and war in the past, so the wrong birthdate was written down when registering my household registration. I was born in 45 but it was written as 35, and my zodiac sign of chicken became pig. If you don't believe me, you can ask my great uncle, uncle, right?" The old man didn't even blink when he spoke in panic.

"Village chief, pig intestines belong to the pig, not the chicken." said the uncle. This is how ignorant people are. Sometimes when you wash their hair, they will forget about it and return to their original cognition as soon as they turn their heads.

The second brother quickly shouted loudly: "This is a mistake, this is a mistake, Uncle, didn't we just say it was the zodiac sign of the Rooster?" The two started arguing again.

The village chief got impatient after listening for a while, and slammed the table and said, "Alright, alright, you've made me so annoyed. Whether you're born in the year of the pig or the rooster, you still have to eat and poop. Why do you have to change this age, Kang Bo?"

The old man said the reason he and the second brother had discussed: "Village chief, I am so old and I am ready to go to the big chimney to queue up. I don't want to die and not be able to reincarnate. What should I do if the King of Hell doesn't let me reincarnate and makes me a ghost when he sees that my information doesn't match?"

Although this reason is very outrageous, people born in the same era as Lao Dou are indeed very superstitious, so it is understandable. "Okay, okay, I'll write it for you now. You can go back after getting the certificate and stop arguing here." The village chief didn't know whether he believed Lao Dou's nonsense or simply didn't want to listen to the quarrel between the second brother and the uncle, so he nodded and agreed to issue a certificate to Lao Dou.
