Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"A noble school?"

When A-Zu came home from get off work that day, he saw A-Jiao crying in the living room. After asking, he found out that she was waiting for him. She wanted him to help her fourth daughter get into an aristocratic school. "Fourth Master, you must help my daughter. I'm counting on you." Seeing A-Zu coming back, A-Jiao cried even harder.

"Don't count on me, Sister Jiao. I have no connections, no background, and no money. How can I help your daughter get into an aristocratic school?" A Zu shook off Ah Jiao's hand and said helplessly.

Ah Jiao cried even louder after hearing this. She pointed at her father and said, "It was Kang Bo who said that if there is any problem, I should go to Ah Zu. If not you, who should I go to?"

Hearing Ah Jiao's crying, Ah Zu softened his heart and said, "Okay, don't cry. I'll try to use my connections to help you ask, but you have to pay me first."

"What? Give me money?" Gillian was surprised for a moment, then continued to pretend to be pitiful and cried, "What a sin! I am a widow and I have to raise five bone-changing dragons. If I had money, would I need to ask you for help? You are the boss of a foreign company, so it's no big deal for you to do this. Besides, it was I, Gillian, who gave you the opportunity. I liked your character, so our whole family is counting on you."

As Ah Jiao was talking, she kept patting Ah Zu's thigh. Ah Zu pushed her hand away and said, "Don't count on me, Sister Jiao. I have a son and a wife, so they count on me. Please go find someone else. I really can't do anything about this matter without spending money."

Gillian collapsed directly on the sofa. Seeing this, the second sister-in-law had no choice but to go forward and pull her up, "Sister Jiao, forget it. I think A Zu really can't help you. You should go back first. If you see Zhou Gong before you go to bed tonight, ask him to help you. If he doesn't help you, come to Kang Bo tomorrow." The second sister-in-law coaxed Gillian out of the Kang family.

"You are so stupid." The old man muttered to himself when he heard what the second sister-in-law said. But the second sister-in-law still heard it, and she directly said: "You are so stupid, master, are you so outrageous? Don't promise these things to others, how can the fourth uncle help him? It makes people worship him as a living Buddha."

"She came here crying three times today." A Yao also complained, "If the neighbors heard it, they would think we owed her wages and had no money to pay her."

"It's all Ah Jiao's fault. What does it have to do with me? I didn't mean that she caught the wrong door god." The old man refused to admit it. He argued, "I meant that Ah Zu works in a foreign-funded enterprise. It will be easier for her daughter to study abroad in the future."

It would have been fine if he didn't argue, but once he did, everyone was even more surprised. "You give me this right? You really speak nonsense to me." Ah Zu was so angry that he couldn't even say a word and went back to his room.

The next day at noon, Kang Qirui was at home resting on the weekend. He was watching cartoons with Kang Siqi when he saw his cousin Bing walking into the Kang family with a free-range chicken in his hand. "Arui, you are home. Eh, is Achan home?"

"My second sister-in-law is not here. She went to see her friends. Are you looking for her?" Kang Qirui asked Kang Siqi to say hello to his cousin Bing, while he answered his cousin Bing's questions while asking Xiu Gu to pour him tea.

Hearing that his second sister-in-law was not there, Cousin Bing breathed a sigh of relief, handed the free-range chicken in his hand to Xiu Gu, and then said, "Please give it to Grandma, I brought it out specially."

"Cousin, there are so many people in our family, and it's not enough for you to catch a free-range chicken." Kang Qirui joked, and then asked: "What's the matter this time?" "This time I have something to ask A-Zu, so I brought this chicken specifically for A-Zu. No one else got a share, haha." Cousin Bing took a sip of tea and continued: "I thought about this and only A-Zu can do it, so do you think we should give him special treatment?"

"What's the matter?" Kang Qirui was even more curious after hearing this. "What's the matter?" Kang Siqi also said cutely imitating her father's words. Cousin Bing reached out and rubbed her head, saying, "Last time, your uncle heard from your grandfather that your fourth uncle had some friendly cooperation with those foreign countries, so your uncle plans to ask your fourth uncle to help me get two visas to Iraq."

Kang Siqi nodded pretentiously, climbed onto the sofa and whispered in Kang Qirui's ear: "Where is Iraq? Is it fun? I want to go there, too." Kang Qirui was amused by his daughter's appearance, patted her butt and said: "Go in and help Xiugu pick vegetables. Dad and cousin have something to talk about, go ahead."

After sending his daughter away, Kang Qirui turned to his cousin Bing and said, "There's a war going on over there now. What are you going to do? Be a mercenary or a human bomb?"

"So what do you think about Iraq? What is it that Iraq is rich in?" Cousin Bing asked himself and answered, "Oil. Now they are busy fighting the war and all that oil is being burned. What a waste. I plan to get some and sell it."

Kang Qirui was dumbfounded. What was this cousin Bing thinking about every day? He said tactfully, "Even if I get you a visa, how are you going to get the oil back?"

Cousin Bing was stunned by the question, but he quickly reacted and said, "It's easy. As long as we have the money, why worry about not being able to ship it back? When will A-Zu come back? I have to go back soon. I don't have time this afternoon."

He was obviously trying to change the subject. Kang Qirui shrugged and said, "It's the weekend today and I don't know when he will be back. He might play until late at night. Cousin, if you don't have time, go back first. I'll ask him to call you when he comes back."

"Okay, then I'll leave this windfall to you. I'm leaving now." Cousin Bing nodded, said something to Kang Qirui and left. It seems that he really has something to do, Kang Qirui thought.

When A Zu came back in the evening, Kang Qirui told him about his cousin Bing. "What? He wants me to help him get an Iraqi visa?" A Zu was shocked.

"Who told your dad to tell others that although you may not be able to handle domestic affairs, you can definitely handle foreign affairs, right? If you can't do it, just call your cousin Bing and talk to him." Kang Qirui only did his duty of passing the microphone and didn't care about other things.

A Zu picked up the landline at home and called his cousin Bing. He talked until his mouth was dry before he told his cousin Bing that it was not that A Zu did not want to help him, but that he did not have the ability to help. He hung up the phone and went to his uncle's room, saying helplessly, "Dou, don't say that I have all the skills, otherwise people will line up to find me. If I help, I don't have that much ability. If I don't help, people will think I got promoted and look down on others and don't want to help."

"Alright, alright, I'll try to keep a low profile from now on, okay?" said Lao Dou. (End of this chapter)
