Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"From today on, everyone will go their separate ways and pursue their own futures. Take care, everyone."

After getting rid of the remaining goods and the company's valuable assets at a low price, A Zu organized a farewell dinner. "Anyway, after this dinner, we will disband. Those who need to be rich will be rich, and those who need to beg will beg." After getting back her investment money, Miss Tang became more cheerful. At this time, she asked curiously, "There has always been one thing I really want to know. We have worked together for so many years. What do you think of me?"

"Actually, it's like this, Miss Tang. You are both beautiful and cultured. We learned a lot from you when you were the general manager. After you stopped being the general manager, we also saw another side of you, the helpful side." Ajun gave Miss Tang a lot of face and said whatever she wanted to say.

Aqi also demonstrated the high emotional intelligence of a white-collar worker in the workplace. He followed Ajun's words and said, "I also think you are very capable. I used to think you were too strict, but during this period of time I found that you are quite kind." After saying that, he toasted Miss Tang with a glass.

"Where's Manager Kang?" Miss Tang looked at A-Zu expectantly. From the beginning, what she cared about most was A-Zu's evaluation. It wasn't that she had any improper thoughts about A-Zu, but she felt from the bottom of her heart that A-Zu was a capable person. He had been very responsible as the general manager during this period. Although his lack of management experience had caused a bit of chaos in the company, she felt that if he was given a little more time, he would be able to manage it well.

"My opinion is similar to theirs, there is not much difference." A Zu said with a smile.

"You always have your own opinion." Miss Tang asked.

"Okay, then I'll just briefly explain." A-Zu took a sip of wine and started to speak explosively: "You're not pretty, but you want to dress up pretty, which is a contradiction. You dress yourself up in a weird way every day, but now you wear a scarf in such hot weather, what reason do you have? You're such an idiot, come on, let's have a drink first."

After drinking a glass of wine, A Zu continued, "Speaking of which, I am actually very grateful to you, Miss Tang, for taking care of me all these years. Without you, how could I be the general manager? But when it comes to love, you are such a failure that it is unbearable to watch."

"Ah, ah, ah, personal matters are private and cannot be brought to the table." Miss Tang quickly interrupted A Zu, "You have all expressed your opinions about me. Now it's my turn to talk about you, right?"

"It doesn't matter whether you say it or not, that's how it is." A Zu knew Miss Tang well, and he knew that Miss Tang had nothing good to say about everyone's evaluation, so he simply stopped her from saying it. Miss Tang wanted to struggle, but A Qi and A Jun also joined in to stop her, and in the end Miss Tang still couldn't say her evaluation of everyone.

"Anyway, we'll all go our separate ways tomorrow, so there's no need to judge each other. Saying nice things is fake, and saying bad things hurts feelings." After Ah Zu finished complaining about what others said, he was generous. "We've finished the wine here, shall we find another place to drink? I'll treat you."

"Do you want me to treat you?" Miss Tang glanced at A Zu, "You've already paid back all the money we invested, and you don't have to pay for it yourself. Do you still have money to treat us? I'll treat you! At least I've been the general manager longer than you."

"It's your treat, former general manager." Everyone was a little drunk and didn't care who won. They just wanted to continue drinking.

It took A-Zu a whole day to recover from the drunkenness. When he was completely sober, he immediately picked up the newspaper and started looking for a job. But he was not satisfied after reading it again and again. "It's boring!" He threw the newspaper away.

The newspaper was thrown directly at Er Lao who was returning home from get off work. He picked up the newspaper and looked at A Zu's state and said, "Handsome guy, what's the matter? Do you have to be so depressed?"

"Second brother, I've thought about it. Wherever I fall, I will grab a handful of sand. I will either not do it at all, or do it on a big scale. I will start a company and be my own boss." A Zu was very excited, as if he was not fully sober yet.

"What kind of wine did you drink yesterday? It made you so arrogant." The second brother shook his head and laughed, "What kind of boss do you want to be?"

"Yes, I haven't thought about being a boss yet." A Zu looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. "Now it's hard to make a living, and there is no capital. What can I do?" A Zu stood up and paced back and forth in the living room, looking worried. Suddenly he had an idea, "Open a debt collection company. No office or capital is needed. A phone and a mouth are all it takes."

The second brother was completely stunned. He didn't understand what Zu was thinking. He didn't understand it until dinner, so he told everyone about Zu's idea. "You run a debt collection company? Isn't that the big loan sharks in the old society?" After hearing this, the old father frowned and looked at Zu and asked.

"Big Ear Loan" refers to a person who lends money at high interest rates. This term originated from Hong Kong. It is said that some Indians who were loan sharks in Hong Kong liked to wear earrings on their ears. The heavy earlobes made the ear holes look very big. Some people associated the ear holes with the bottomless pit of debt and created the term "Big Ear Loan".

"Dad, do you have to be so nervous? Have you watched a lot of Hong Kong movies?" A-Zu explained to everyone, "My debt collection company is very polite. A gentleman talks, not fights. I just use my mouth to negotiate with others. There are so many disputes nowadays. This business can definitely make money."

"Handsome boy, it's your business whether you do it or not." The second brother now slowly understood A Zu's idea, and he also felt that this business was worth doing, so he said: "First of all, as the boss, I congratulate you on your grand opening and success." However, the first brother Guang asked worriedly: "A Zu, you just said that you watched Hong Kong movies. The debt collectors in the movies all look ferocious, but you are a gentle and white-faced scholar. Can you do this?"

"I know that in this era, borrowers are worse than creditors." A Zu nodded and said, "So after thinking about it, big brother and second brother, you two need to help me. You two owe me 500 yuan."

"Hey, hey, hey," Er Lao was so anxious that he spat out the food in his mouth, "Who owes you 500 yuan? Don't talk nonsense, handsome boy."

"What I mean is, suppose each of you owes me 500 yuan, and I force you to pay me back but you refuse. I want to rehearse to practice my eloquence." A-Zu explained to the two elder brothers, and the elder brother shook his head fiercely after hearing it, "Forget it, don't do this kind of thing. I am a soft-hearted person. What if you chase me and I really think I owe you money and give you 500 yuan?"

A Zu glared at the boss speechlessly, then turned to look at Kang Qirui and said, "Then A Rui, you come here, suppose you owe me 500 yuan."

Kang Qirui put down his chopsticks after hearing that, took out his wallet, took out five hundred yuan and handed it to A Zu, saying, "Don't chase me anymore, just think that I really owe you five hundred yuan and I'll pay you back now, okay?" Of course, A Zu couldn't really take his money, so Kang Qirui waited for a while and saw that he didn't take it, so he put the money back into his wallet, "Don't want it? Forget it."

He was about to pick up his chopsticks to continue eating, but suddenly his eyes rolled and he said, "We all know what you're thinking. It's pointless for you to play this with us. Ah San hasn't come back yet. When he comes back, just tell him that he owes you money and ask him to pay you back. That's more realistic."

"Yes, yes, the third brother likes to borrow money from others and not pay it back." The second brother agreed with Kang Qirui's suggestion. He slammed the table and said to A Zu: "Handsome boy, if you can get the three hundred yuan back from him for me, I don't want it. I will give it all to you."

"He owes you money, so why are you so mean?" A Zu slammed the table and said, "I will definitely chase him." As soon as he finished speaking, A Yao walked into the dining room with his hands swinging. He had just come back from get off work and was about to sit down to eat after washing his hands. A Zu asked with a smile, "Third brother, when will you pay me back the 500 yuan you borrowed from me?"

"Lend you 500 yuan?" A Yao was stunned. "When did I lend you 500 yuan?"

"Don't play dumb anymore. It was February 1995, 2 at 31: p.m., you borrowed yuan from me at the toilet door. You said you would pay me back in two days, but you haven't paid me back yet." When A-Zu talked about the lie, it really sounded like it was the truth, with the time and place mentioned.

A Yao thought about it carefully, and he really didn't remember much about what happened nine years ago. But he suddenly remembered something, so he said stubbornly: "In 1995, you were still in college and hadn't graduated yet. Where did you get the yuan to lend me?"

"Kang Qiyao, are you going to pay it back or not? Get up!" A Zu walked behind A Yao's chair and pulled him up. A Yao got angry all of a sudden and pointed at A Zu and said angrily: "How can you talk to me with such an attitude? Even if I really borrowed your money, I won't pay it back. What's your attitude?"

"I'm telling you, don't think I won't hit you just because you're my third brother?" A-Zu grabbed A-Yao's collar and said fiercely, "Money is more important to me than relatives!"

"You want to beat me, right? Kang Qizu?" A Yao directly twisted A Zu's hand over, "Since we were little, when have you ever beaten me?"

When Sachiko came home from get off work and walked into the dining room, she saw A-Zu and A-Yao arguing with each other, with A-Yao still talking about borrowing money and not paying it back. Then she saw the two of them really fighting, so she quickly ran forward and pushed A-Yao away, "Hey, what are you fighting about?" Then she said to A-Zu, "How much money did your brother borrow from you? I'll help him pay it back." She really thought that A-Yao owed A-Zu money and didn't pay it back.

"What do you want to pay back? I don't owe him any money." A Yao felt so aggrieved that he couldn't say anything.

"Alright, alright, stop! The rehearsal ends here!" Er Lao called out "stop" like a director. Upon hearing that, A Zu immediately stepped back to the side of Kang Qi Rui and said, "Why didn't you call out "stop" earlier? It hurts me." After Er Lao finished explaining the whole story, A Yao and Xing Zi realized that it was just a play. They said helplessly, "Are you guys really that funny?"

Kang Qirui was full by then, so he put down his chopsticks and said to A Zu, "You see, it's not easy to run a debt collection company, right? With your condition, you can't even handle Ah San. How can you go out and collect debts for others? And let me tell you, our country does not allow the establishment of debt collection companies. It is illegal to run a debt collection company."

Actually, if A-Zu really has talent in this area, it is not impossible. For example, he could open an investment consulting company, a property management company, etc. The names are different, but the work is still debt collection. However, A-Zu is so delicate and tender that Kang Qirui does not approve of him doing this business. (End of this chapter)
