Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 37 Dating
After being driven away by A Yao, the reporters were not discouraged and turned to interview Da Lao Guang, the "Director of the Business Office". Da Lao Guang was a man who could not speak well and in the end he concluded that a corrupt official looked honest but was actually full of bad intentions. This made the reporters keep staring at Da Lao Guang because Da Lao Guang himself fit this image too well.

Kang Qirui, Zhu Wanling, their second brother and his wife went for grass skiing. For people in the south who cannot ski without snow, grass skiing is really fun and exciting. They played for a whole afternoon.

When it was almost time for dinner, Deputy Director Yang found the old lady who was relaxing and asked, "Director Chen, Director Wang, why don't you go downstairs and play?"

"We are old, haha, and we don't have as much energy as young people. Let them have fun and we just watch." Dou responded with a smile.

Deputy Director Yang pulled a chair and sat down next to him. "Director Chen, we have arranged game for you tonight. How about snake?"

"I think we don't need to bother with it. It won't have a good impact. Just keep it simple." The old man was not really interested in eating snakes. If it was dog meat or something else, maybe he would agree.

"Of course, of course." Deputy Director Yang agreed first, and then told the purpose of this visit, "Director Chen, I have something to ask of you. I have a brother-in-law who works very hard, but he has never had a chance. I wonder if there is a position in the bureau that can give him some training?"

"Personnel issues are generally handled by Director Wang. What does Director Wang think?" The old man didn't dare to respond and could only pass the topic to the nanny.

"I'm only responsible for the three meals a day. You make the decision." The old woman didn't dare to respond anymore.

"How about this, you leave your business card and we'll study it and let you know when there's a result." The old man used the tactic of procrastination, trying to delay for as long as possible until he could get back.

"Okay, okay." Deputy Director Yang agreed quickly, but in his heart he was wondering if 'Lian Xue Yan' was hinting at him to give him cigarettes and alcohol? 'Lian Xue Yan? Cigarettes and alcohol!

Deputy Director Yang still arranged game for dinner, and did not keep it simple as his father had said. Everyone was very satisfied with the meal, and after eating and drinking, they gathered together to drink tea to relieve their greasiness.

After drinking tea and chatting for a while, A Yao suggested going to sing karaoke, but Da Lao Guang felt that he was too tired after sitting in the car all day and had no energy to sing, so he suggested changing the project.

"How about we play mahjong? There are eight of us, so we can just open two tables." The second brother suggested.

"What's the point of playing mahjong among ourselves? Money goes into the left pocket and into the right pocket, and money goes into the right pocket and into the left pocket." The second sister-in-law was the first to disagree, and her reason was very reasonable.

"Why don't we go dancing?" A-Zu suggested.

"You are so old-fashioned. How can a husband and wife dance together?" Kang Qirui almost spit out the tea in his mouth because of what Da Lao Guang said. He didn't expect that Da Lao Guang, who seemed to be the most honest man, would say something shocking. If he doesn't dance with his wife, then how about dancing with Miss Wu?
"It's okay if you're not old-fashioned. Then let's go to the sauna." A-Zu doesn't go out at night and his heart is restless.

Before anyone expressed their opinion, the old lady took the lead in objecting: "You can go anywhere, but you are not allowed to take a sauna."

"Mom, the manager here said that the sauna here is healthy and clean, there's no problem." The second brother's words attracted the support of A Zu.

"You are not allowed to go anywhere. Go back to your rooms and watch TV." The old man announced the final result. Everyone could only go back to their rooms depressed. It was really helpless to come here from afar to watch TV.

However, Kang Qirui did not go back to the room to watch TV, but took Wanling to dance. Although Wanling was much older than Kang Qirui, she was a well-behaved girl. She said worriedly, "Will Kang Bo be angry if we run out like this?"

"They are all in the room, how would they know we are out playing?" Kang Qirui first replied, and then teased: "Why? You are afraid of the master before you even get married?"

"Oh, what nonsense are you talking about." Zhu Wanling blushed, shook off Kang Qirui's hand and walked quickly towards the dance floor.

Kang Qirui quickly caught up with her, took Zhu Wanling's hand, walked into the dance floor, and started dancing to the rhythm of the music.

During this rare date, Zhu Wanling felt sweet in her heart. She was shy and released her emotions for the first time. She took a deep breath and said, "Arui, will we be like this forever?"

"No." Kang Qirui's words made Zhu Wanling stunned, and then she wanted to cry. Kang Qirui quickly said: "Hey, what are you doing? I mean, we will have babies in the future, how can we be two people for life."

Speaking of having children, Zhu Wanling blushed. Her heart was sweet as honey, but she said innocently: "Humph, you only know how to lie to me. You haven't even confessed to me."

Kang Qirui sighed and said, "Didn't I confess my feelings to you last time your mother arranged a blind date for you?"

Zhu Wanling asked deliberately: "Really? How come I didn't know about your confession?"

Kang Qirui had never discussed emotional issues with Zhu Wanling in depth. Although he had lived two lives and his mental quality was very strong, Zhu Wanling was his favorite after all. After being asked a few questions by her, he became a little impatient. He touched his forehead and said, "I told you that I like you when we had dinner at your house last time..."

Zhu Wanling nodded: "You said that, but you never pursued me. You also never said what kind of love you had, the kind of love between brothers and sisters, or the kind between friends?" In the special scene of the dance floor, Zhu Wanling also let go and deliberately teased Kang Qirui.

Kang Qirui didn't expect that his emotions would be completely drawn by Zhu Wanling. He blurted out: "I like you. Now it's the love a boyfriend has for his girlfriend, and in the future it will be the love a husband has for his wife."

Zhu Wanling looked at Kang Qirui with watery eyes and asked him, "Is that true?" Facing such a question, Kang Qirui certainly knew what to do. He kissed her without hesitation. Zhu Wanling didn't expect Kang Qirui to kiss her in public, and she was so nervous that she couldn't help it. Although she also liked Kang Qirui and was just teasing her boyfriend just now, she didn't expect Kang Qirui to express his love in this way. Zhu Wanling was a little flustered.

After a long moment of parting lips, Zhu Wanling said unhappily, "There are so many people here."

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? No one can see it under the light." The lights in the dance floor were dim, but Kang Qirui was not worried. Besides, even if they saw it, it didn't matter. It was just a kiss.

"Your doctorate is in phonology? Is that your name? Then can you sing a song for me?" Zhu Wanling said something that surprised Kang Qirui.

Phonology has nothing to do with singing or music. It is a science that studies the Chinese phonetic system, including ancient phonology, modern phonology, northern phonology, and other rhyme studies. It is a traditional discipline that studies the sound, rhyme, and tone systems of ancient Chinese in various historical periods and their development laws, and is an important part of ancient Chinese.

Simply put, it is to study the pronunciation of Chinese characters in different periods.

Of course, Kang Qirui is not a person with low emotional intelligence. If his girlfriend wants to sing, then let her sing. There is no need to spoil the fun by explaining what phonology is.

He sang: "My love, do you feel that tomorrow has come?

Our boat is moored at the pier.

I'll wash my hair and climb the mast,

Support our home like the tender leaves of grape branches. "

This is Zhang Weiwei's "Rice Shop" in his previous life, which has always been one of Kang Qirui's favorite songs. And the chorus he sang, with a few simple lyrics, is the singer telling his lover that their common tomorrow is just around the corner, and the boat on the dock carries their future.

And "wash your hair, climb up the mast, and support your home like grape branches and tender leaves" is the singer's commitment and responsibility to love and the lover. There is no forced love or affectation. It seems to be describing where love begins, revealing pure simplicity and beauty.

This chorus is very suitable for the status of Kang Qirui and Zhu Wanling. The Xiguan mansion is about to be renovated, and the Chinese New Year is one month away. After the Chinese New Year, the two will get married and form a new family. So Kang Qirui blurted out this chorus directly, which not only satisfied Zhu Wanling's request to sing by herself, but also promised Zhu Wanling: I have made all preparations to give you a future that belongs to us.

At this moment, Zhu Wanling fell in love with Kang Qirui completely. Just when she was gathering her courage and wanted to be brave once and kiss Kang Qirui in public, Kang Qirui's phone rang. It was the second brother calling.

"Hey, second brother, give me a reason not to hit you." Zhu Wanling smiled so hard when she heard Kang Qirui's words.

"Okay, let's go back now." Not knowing what the second brother said, Kang Qirui had no choice but to go back.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Wanling asked curiously.

"They said someone came to ask the big boss for funding, someone reported a murder case to the second boss, and Deputy Director Yang gave gifts of cigarettes and alcohol to my father, and asked us to go back and discuss what to do." Kang Qirui said helplessly.

"Ah?" Zhu Wanling was also very surprised and had to go back obediently.

After a while, they arrived at the old man's room and saw everyone was there.

"Dad, what's going on?" Kang Qirui asked awkwardly. He didn't expect that he was the only one out playing, while everyone else was watching TV in their rooms.

"Take a look." The old man handed a piece of paper to Kang Qirui.

"Let me take a look at tomorrow's schedule. There will be a large press conference at 9 a.m., a 'Phase II Development Seminar' at 10 a.m., a cocktail buffet at 12 p.m., and a farewell party for the leaders at 3 p.m. The drum band, Young Pioneers, and honor guard will be there on time." Kang Qirui's voice got lower and lower as he read. Isn't this too exaggerated?
"What?" Everyone became worried after hearing this and looked at A Yao: "What should we do?"

"How should I know?" A Yao had not expected something like this to happen. "Dad, you are the leader, you make the decision."

"I say, um, um, among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one." The old man thought for a while and said, if he doesn't leave now, when will he leave?

"Yes, yes, yes, everyone, pack up quickly." A Yao agreed immediately and called a taxi.

"By the way, Third Brother, after we get in the car, remember to call the director and tell him that there is a meeting tomorrow. We will leave first." Kang Qirui reminded.

"Okay, okay." After all, it's not good to leave without saying goodbye. It would be troublesome if they found your workplace.
