Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"If my father and the boss still fail the test today, I plan to learn how to drive by myself tomorrow."

After Lao Dou and Da Lao Guang failed the test due to cheating, they took the test again but failed both times. A Yao was going to wait for them to practice driving again, but he was too impatient. However, the second sister-in-law said, "What's the point of going alone? Of course, it's better to go with more people, so you can feel calmer."

"I've seen a lot of low-B people, but I've never tried one as low-B as them. They failed twice." Before the second brother could finish his words, he saw Lao Dou and Da Lao Guang returning to the Kang family with their heads down.

When Kang Qirui and the others saw their expressions, they all guessed that they still failed the first subject. "Oh no, they must be fat again." The second brother laughed.

"You are such a loser, Dad has to help you." Dad patted the second brother on the back and suddenly laughed. When everyone was about to congratulate Dad, they saw that the eldest brother still looked depressed. "Uncle, you are not fat, are you?" the second sister-in-law asked helplessly.

"Boss, don't have that expression. I'm sorry for your loss." The second boss pretended to comfort him.

At this time, the boss couldn't act anymore. His face brightened up and he laughed loudly, "Are you stupid? If Da Dou can do it, why can't I? Can I be dumber than Da Dou?"

Now everyone realized that the old man and the boss were just teasing them with that expression, "Let's learn to drive together tomorrow." A Yao was happy, he could finally go to learn to drive. A Zu took the driving test later than them, and now he has got his driver's license. He has always been envious.

The driver's license test is relatively informal these days, and the reversing and road tests can be completed in one morning. First is the pole test, and the road test is that each person drives a few hundred meters in a familiar area and environment, which are all repeatedly trained in normal times. If the candidate passes the test, the candidate can get a driver's license and the instructor can get a bonus, so the instructor will build a good relationship with the examiner. When Kang Qirui was taking the driver's license test before, he saw with his own eyes that a woman hit the pole when reversing into the garage, that is, she reversed to the side, and then she changed gears and went forward, and then she positioned herself between the two poles and reversed directly into the garage. What's more, some instructors even personally drove the car in front of the garage door and parked it before letting the candidates reverse into the garage.

(In this era, driver's licenses can still be purchased. As long as you pay enough money, even if you don't study hard at the driving school or even don't go to the driving school for a day, you will be guaranteed to pass the test on the day.)
Of course, for the sake of his family's and their own safety, Kang Qirui firmly requires them to truly take the driver's license test and get the driver's license with real qualifications.

"Since my father and the boss are so happy that they passed the first subject today, I suggest that we add more dishes tonight." Kang Qirui took out two hundred yuan and shouted loudly: "Xiu Gu, come here, add more dishes tonight, and I'll pay for it."

Xiu Gu took the money, agreed, and went out with the shopping basket to chop ingredients and add more dishes. Er Lao stared at Kang Qi Rui thoughtfully. After a long while, when he saw that Kang Qi Rui had no reaction, he took the initiative to say, "Something's wrong, something's wrong with you. Why are you so happy that Lao Dou passed the written test? What does it have to do with you? Do you need to pay for the extra dishes?"

"Yes, there must be other good things." The second sister-in-law also got excited. She looked at Zhu Wanling and guessed, "Wanling has Zuo? You don't dare to be high-profile about your second child, so you celebrate quietly, right?"

"What? What are you talking about, sister-in-law, it's nothing." Zhu Wanling quickly denied it and hugged Kang Siqi, "The child is still here, you can't say anything. Just tell me directly." The last sentence was said to Kang Qirui. "Then what's your matter?" The old man was also curious.

"It's like this. I got some news today." Kang Qirui had no intention of hiding it from his family, so he spoke frankly at this time: "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be officially promoted to professor soon, and selected as a doctoral supervisor. However, the official appointment has not come down yet, so let's add a small dish today. When the time comes to make it public, I will treat everyone to a good meal."

As soon as Kang Qirui finished speaking, before everyone had time to be happy, the old man fainted. Everyone was so scared that they hurriedly helped him lie down on the sofa. Fortunately, Zhu Wanling's nursing skills were not completely lost, and under her treatment, the old man soon woke up.

"Professor, hahahaha, my son Kang Ershou is an associate professor. Hahahaha." As soon as the old man woke up, he danced and shouted. Kang Qirui was afraid that he would faint again, so he grabbed his hand and said softly: "Old man, why are you so excited? I have been an associate professor for three years. It is only a matter of time before I get promoted to a professor. Why are you so excited?"

"When Siqi grows up, you will understand what it means to be a parent." The mother said meaningfully while leaning against the old man to take care of him. At this time, only the mother understood why the old man was so excited.

On Monday morning, Kang Qirui returned to Kangleyuan. As soon as he sat down in his office, he received a call from the principal's office informing him to go to the principal's office. Kang Qirui agreed and hung up the phone. He first tidied up his appearance before walking into Zhongshan Building.

"Principal Huang, you're looking for me." Kang Qirui asked respectfully after knocking on the door of the principal's office.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Kang." The principal was not very familiar with Kang Qirui and just said hello indifferently. After a long pause, he continued, "In view of the series of major breakthroughs you have made in the fields of ancient literary theory, ancient poetry and prose, etc., after review and recommendation by the academic committee of your college and directly affiliated department, and deliberation by the school's faculty establishment and appointment committee, and with the approval of the school, you are promoted to professor of our school. At the same time, you have also been selected as a doctoral supervisor." At the end, Principal Huang looked at Kang Qirui with a bit of approval.

President Huang's philosophy of running the school has always emphasized that "the university is an academic community", "professors are the university" and "be kind to students". Therefore, although he himself is a mathematics major, he is very appreciative of Kang Qirui, a new professor who has a good reputation among students.

Kang Qirui had told his father that his promotion to professor was a matter of time and there was nothing to be excited about, but at the moment when he truly became a professor, Kang Qirui was still very excited. He respectfully took the appointment letter handed over by Principal Huang and said, "Thank you for the trust of the principal and the school. I will continue to work hard in the future."

"I look forward to your greater literary achievements in the future, you are the youngest professor in the history of our school." Principal Huang ended the meeting with a joke. Kang Qirui shook hands with the principal and left Zhongshan Building. When he left, he saw other colleagues who were promoted to professors waiting at the door of the principal's office.

When Kang Qirui returned to the Chinese Department, his colleagues had already known about his exceptional promotion. They all came forward to congratulate him. He was the youngest professor in Shuangyashan history, having just turned 26. In addition, the department head, Mr. Huang, was not only his doctoral supervisor, but also his formal master. This was definitely a popular candidate for the future department head. For a moment, even those colleagues who usually had a mediocre relationship with Kang Qirui became very enthusiastic.
