Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

"Ah San, what good stuff are you looking at?"

It was still hot in Guangzhou in early November, but A Zu was in a very happy mood because "Night Club" was officially finished yesterday. The whole shooting process went very smoothly and was completed in just one month. The rest was post-production and publicity. That day, he was chatting with Kang Qirui about publicity in the living room of Kang's house, and saw A Yao return to Kang's house with his head down and looking at something seriously, so he asked.

Upon hearing this, A Yao subconsciously hid the things behind his back and denied, "I didn't see anything."

"What didn't you see?" Ah Zu didn't believe Ah Yao's lies and deliberately said, "If you didn't see it, then you didn't see it. I won't force you. Why are you so nervous? By the way, Ah San, I may have shaved through my scalp when I shaved my head. Can you help me see if I need to apply any medicine?"

When A Zu was with the crew, he often didn't take a shower for several days, so he simply asked the crew to shave his head. When A Yao heard what he said, he walked in front of him and observed him. He had only observed him for a second when A Zu quickly snatched the things in his hand.

A-Zu ran to hide behind Kang Qirui and said, "Wow, nothing happened? Isn't this your first love?" It turned out that A-Yao brought back some photos. A-Zu continued, "He even put his hand on his shoulder, tut tut tut."

Ah Yao was immediately overwhelmed and shouted angrily: "Give it back to me, Kang Qi Zu, I'm warning you." But Ah Zu interrupted him: "Do you have to be so loud? Do you have to be so nervous? I'm not saying anything bad about you, Ah San, you're really a coward and a reactionary, take it away."

Kang Qirui couldn't help but glare at A Zu. It didn't matter if he finished reading and talking, but he hadn't read it yet. Kang Qirui's curious look was noticed by A Yao, so he had to explain: "It's just a few photos taken at a class reunion. There's nothing good to see. We haven't seen each other for five or six years. Can't we just touch each other's shoulders?"

Kang Qirui looked at A Zu and asked, "Didn't they take this photo alone?" A Zu nodded, and Kang Qirui shrugged. He was not interested in this. "If you are afraid of your wife, then you are afraid of your wife. Put it away quickly. I won't watch it anymore."

Today, because A-Zu finally came home, Ma and Xiu-gu specially prepared a sumptuous dinner. As soon as A-Yao picked up a chicken leg, A-Zu picked up the bowl and gestured to him. A-Yao didn't want to give it to him, so he deliberately said, "I'm going to attend a class reunion in two days, can you let me eat first?"

A Yao had no choice but to put the chicken leg in his bowl. The second sister-in-law next to him was stunned and said, "Uncle San, I'm also having a class reunion. Can you give me the other chicken leg?" A Yao rolled his eyes and ignored her.

When Sachiko heard the words "classmate reunion", she seemed to remember something and asked Ayao, "Husband, why didn't you mention it after you came back from the class reunion a few days ago? Did you see a lot of old classmates? Do you have any interesting stories to share?"

"It's still the same group of people. It's the same every year." A Yao replied perfunctorily.

"No, I saw that Third Uncle's female classmates were so pretty." Tianxiu suddenly said something shocking, and Second Sister-in-law was immediately curious, "What are you talking about? We have met all of Third Uncle's female classmates, and I am the most beautiful one in the whole street. I don't know why you know that?"

"There are photos as evidence. I saw Uncle San hugging that female classmate tightly." Tianxiu's words startled A Yao. He thought that Tianxiu had discovered the photos from a few days ago. He stuttered, "You you."

Sachiko interrupted him directly, "What?" Then she turned to Tianxiu and stretched out her hand and said, "Tianxiu, show me the photo."

Before Tianxiu could react, the two sisters Kang Siqi and Kang Siyu jumped off the chair first and ran out saying, "I know where it is. Third Aunt, we'll get it for you." Soon they brought back a photo and gave it to Sachiko, saying, "Brother found it under the coffee table today. This sister is so beautiful."

Sachiko took the photo angrily, and everyone gathered around. "Tsk, it was before the Xianfeng period, just a photo taken in elementary school." Big Brother Guang seemed very disappointed.

"I didn't say it was taken now." Tianxiu also looked innocent. Kang Siqi returned to her seat, patted Kang Qirui on the shoulder, and said, "Dad, my sister and I helped Third Aunt, can you reward me by letting me watch TV for an hour?" Kang Qirui smiled and rubbed her head and agreed, "Okay, okay."

Upon hearing this, Kang Siyu also looked at the second brother and his wife. The second brother also rubbed her head and said, "If you do good things, you will be rewarded. After dinner, watch cartoons with your sister." The two sisters looked at each other with satisfaction on their faces.

The two of them were happy, but someone else was not. A Yao was so scared that a fish bone almost got stuck in his throat. Even more unfortunate was that when he returned to work early the next morning, he heard a rumor that someone was going to take over the union. He didn't believe it at first, but before leaving get off work, he received a notice asking him to go to the director's office the next morning, so he believed it. A Yao returned to the Kang family with a sad face. After telling everyone what he heard, he sighed: "I don't know why I've been so unlucky recently. I was demoted for no reason and I don't know what's going on."

"Ayao, as the saying goes, there's no smoke without fire. Did you offend your leader sometime and didn't even realize it?" Old Dou thought for a moment and guessed.

A Yao lowered his head in frustration and said nothing. Er Lao couldn't stand it anymore and slapped his thigh and said, "Speak up. I really admire you. You have been like this since you were a child. You get bullied outside and come home like a quail. Isn't it just a demotion? At worst, you can just quit. We have so many businesses and companies of our own, where can we not arrange for you?"

"How are they the same? Even if I want to work in your company, I have to go there on my own and resign on my own instead of being demoted and quitting in shame like I am doing now." A Yao said.

Sachiko sat next to him, took his hand and said, "Husband, then think carefully about whether you have done anything wrong?"

"Yes, Third Uncle, think about it. Maybe you didn't do what others told you to do? Or maybe you took kickbacks but didn't give them any benefits?" Second Sister-in-law's words sounded strange. A Yao said speechlessly, "Second Sister-in-law, do you think I am you? Taking kickbacks? I am upright and honest. I never do such things."

"Uncle San, think about it again. If you haven't done anything wrong, then there is no reason for your leader to treat you like this, right?" Diana asked with concern.

The second sister-in-law thought about it, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She said, "Could it be that the leader wants kickbacks, and you are too upright, so the leader is unhappy because he doesn't get any kickbacks?"

Everyone felt that what the second sister-in-law said made sense, so they all looked at A Yao. A Yao was stunned by what the second sister-in-law said. He also suspected that this was the reason, but he quickly denied it: "It's impossible. Our director is not that kind of person. He never does things like taking kickbacks."

He thought about it again and said unconfidently, "I took an extra apple when I was distributing things last time. Such a small thing can't lead to demotion, right? Oh, and I took a few extra bottles of soda when I was distributing soda last time."

Before he finished speaking, his second sister-in-law interrupted him, "Hey, hey, you say you are upright, but you are greedy for an apple and a few bottles of soda. Although they are not worth much, think about it: if he can't resist taking these small things, how can he resist taking them if someone gives him kickbacks?"

"Ah San, I think what my second sister-in-law said makes sense. You are greedy for an apple and a few bottles of soda. Do you think your boss will believe that you didn't take kickbacks?" Ah Zu agreed with my second sister-in-law's words. He continued, "If someone lets you be an official, you have to be more self-disciplined. You should learn from me. I never take anything from the company."

Ah Yao was not convinced and retorted, "Handsome boy, I would not say anything even if others yelled at me, but you are the one who can't drink me. Who drank the most of those sodas? It was you!"

"Also, one time my company gave out chocolates, and you gave them to your wife as a Valentine's Day gift."

Diana didn't expect that she would be the one to be blamed for what she was listening to. She slapped A-Zu angrily and said, "You are so good. The gifts you gave me were all taken from other people." The couple started arguing directly, and the mother hurried forward to persuade them to stop arguing.

The second sister-in-law was watching the fun nearby and laughing with great gusto. A Yao also said unceremoniously, "Second sister-in-law, don't laugh so loudly. I just say what I mean. I don't mind if others drink it, but you two in-laws are the most annoying. You even took the remaining five cans of soda to sell at the tea restaurant."

"Hey, are you born in the Year of the Dog? You barked at others and now you're barking at me?" The second sister-in-law jumped up, pointed at A Yao and shouted, "The tea restaurant belongs to my parents-in-law and me. Everyone has a share, but you don't? If I sell it at the tea restaurant and make some money, shouldn't you have a share too?"

"Alright, alright." After the nanny persuaded A-Zu, Diana came to persuade the second sister-in-law, then turned to A-Yao and said, "You have scolded the whole family. Have you scolded enough? Can scolding solve the problem? How about this, you just took a few extra cans of soda, buy a box and go back tomorrow to explain it clearly to the director and apologize sincerely, maybe there will be a turnaround."
