Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 58 Red Envelope
"Call the police?" The second brother was startled, then realized that this was his own home, so he angrily asked: "Auntie, which street are you from? Call the police? What's your relationship with him?"

"I am his." The woman who entered the room thought for a moment and changed her words, "He is my savior."

At this time, Kang Qirui also recognized her. This woman had changed her clothes and dressed up carefully. If she hadn't said it, Kang Qirui really wouldn't have recognized her at first. "Oh, it's you. Are you here to see my boss?"

"Do you know her?" The second brother also reacted after he said that, and quietly asked the eldest brother: "Is this the beautiful girl you saved?"

"What beautiful girl?" The woman heard it again and asked in confusion.

"Sister, I'm sorry." The second brother not only smiled but also poured tea for her attentively, "Have some tea, have some tea."

His expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book. The woman was stunned. "Who are you?"

"Oh, he is the big hero, and I am the big hero's younger brother, the second hero." The second brother shamelessly introduced himself and even dragged Kang Qirui into the water, "This is our youngest brother, the little hero."

"Stop playing around." The big boss patted the embarrassing second boss, then looked at him, "By the way, it's a good thing you're here, otherwise I'd be in his clutches and I might end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life."

Da Lao Guang's words made the woman laugh, and she laughed, "It's my duty. You saved me before, so it's a simple thing for me to help you this time." She saw that Da Lao Guang was rubbing his waist, and said, "Is your waist uncomfortable? Let me massage it for you." After that, she was about to start massaging Da Lao Guang.

The boss was so scared that he quickly moved his position a little further away from the woman, and then he said quickly: "No, no, it's nothing, I'm really sorry to bother you."

"Beautiful girl, you don't know, my boss is not used to doing these things at home. You can take him to the massage room. He likes to go to the massage room." The second boss instigated.

"Massage room?" The woman was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I'll take you to the Medical Massage Center tonight. It's pretty good there, and I go there often for massages. Tomorrow I'll drive you farther away, to Conghua Hot Springs, so you can have a massage to relax, okay?"

"She is indeed a rich woman." The second brother whispered in Kang Qirui's ear. Kang Qirui nodded. Nowadays, anyone who can go for massage regularly and has a car is a rich person.

"That beautiful girl, usually when my eldest brother goes to those places, he has to take us two brothers with him to be safe." Seeing that there was a massage to enjoy, the second brother also wanted to go. "It's okay." The other party agreed directly.

Big Brother Guang quickly rejected the other party's kindness: "No, I'm not used to going to those places."

The second brother sighed and thought that the eldest brother was too lucky to enjoy himself. Kang Qirui wanted to change the subject, "By the way, we've been chatting for so long, but I still don't know your last name."

"Oh, oh, oh, I forgot to introduce myself." The woman took out business cards from her bag and distributed them to the three Kang brothers, saying, "My name is Hong Meihua, and I'm the owner of Meiren Advertising Co., Ltd."

"It's Mr. Hong. Mr. Hong, please have some tea." Kang Qirui saw that Hong Meihua's cup was empty and added tea.

After Hong Meihua introduced herself, she took out a big red envelope from her bag and handed it to Da Lao Guang: "I was going to give you these things this afternoon, but there were too many people at the time, so it was not very convenient."

The boss just looked at it and didn't answer it. He asked, "What is this?"

"Of course it's money. Why are you so stupid?" The second brother quickly pulled the eldest brother over and whispered in his ear.

When the eldest brother heard that it was money, he refused to take it anymore, "No, I can't take this." The second brother was very anxious watching from the side. His money-grubbing expression made Kang Qirui laugh. But it was no wonder that the second brother was so money-grubbing. Looking at the thickness of the red envelope, it must be at least 10,000 yuan.

"No, you have to accept it no matter what. I am a man of my word. I never take back what I have given out." Hong Meihua had a firm attitude and hoped that the boss would accept the money.

"I am a person with principles. If I say you can't accept it, then you can't accept it." The boss was very firm in his attitude of not accepting red envelopes.

Hong Meihua has been doing business for a long time, but this is the first time she has seen someone refuse money offered to her, so her attitude is even more resolute: "So do you want me to come to your house every day? At most, I won't even do business with you, but just stand by your door every day."

"Wow, I'm rich." The second brother shouted, and seeing that everyone was looking at him, he smiled awkwardly, then pulled the big brother over and whispered in his ear, "Big brother. With such a big 'meat lion' guarding the door, we can make a fortune just by selling tickets." The second brother's thinking is really weird.

Kang Qirui also had his own thoughts on whether to accept the red envelope. He said to the boss, "Boss, Mr. Hong means well, just accept it."

Da Lao Guang was stunned. He said directly: "No way? A Rui, are you so greedy for money? Where have you studied? Don't you understand such a simple truth as helping others?" Da Lao Guang was really a little angry. He originally thought that his younger brother, who was full of poetry and books, understood him, but the result disappointed him.

Kang Qirui said slowly: "The Lüshi Chunqiu records a story about Confucius and his two disciples, Zilu and Zigong. Zilu saved a drowning man, and the man gave him a cow as a token of gratitude. Zilu accepted it. Confucius' comment on the incident of "Zilu saved a drowning man and got a cow" was: The people of Lu will definitely save drowning people. From then on, the people of Lu will like to save people in distress."

"Zi Gong was offered a government reward for redeeming a slave, but he refused it, thinking it was immoral to do good deeds for a reward. Confucius commented: Zi Gong made a mistake. From now on, people in Lu will not redeem people. No one in Lu will be willing to do such a good deed to redeem people."

"Zi Lu accepted people's advice on virtue, and Zi Gong was humble and yielded to good deeds. The police station gives bonuses to people who are brave enough to do good deeds. So I think you should accept Mr. Hong's red envelope. If you take the money, it will not harm your deeds. If you don't take the money, you will not save people anymore."

These words really touched Hong Meihua's heart, and she clapped her hands in approval. She said, "Well said, that's exactly what I meant. Great hero, you don't want others to stop saving people just because you don't accept red envelopes, do you?"

"That's right, boss. A Rui is right. The saint said it's okay to accept it, so just accept it." The second boss also advised.

Da Lao Guang still looked reluctant. He said, "I don't understand your big principles. Anyway, I won't accept it. If you insist on me accepting it, I swear that I will never save anyone again." Kang Qirui was speechless. Da Lao Guang was stubborn and his words were illogical. What does saving people in the future have to do with accepting the red envelope? She just wanted to thank you for helping her and wanted you to accept the red envelope. She doesn't care whether you save people in the future. Well, it's hard to say. Kang Qirui's impression is that this woman seems to like Da Lao Guang, so maybe she cares.

Thinking of this, Kang Qirui came up with another plan and said, "Doesn't Mr. Hong run a company? My boss is now laid off and is going to help my second boss. Is there any position in Mr. Hong's company that is suitable for my boss?"

Hong Meihua's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. "Okay, okay, then come to work in my company? You can't refuse this, right?"

"I can go to work." This big guy can accept it. He goes to work and the boss pays him. That's what he deserves, not for nothing. Then he asked, "Then what exactly do I do?"

Hong Meihua smiled and said, "You will know when you report to the company tomorrow. The company address is on the business card I just gave you." Then she was ready to leave, "Then I will leave first. See you tomorrow, A Guang."

Why did Kang Qirui let Lao Guang go to Hong Meihua's company even though he knew what was going to happen? Mainly because it was almost a necessity. In the future, Hong Meihua found a large group of reporters to interview Lao Guang every day in order for Lao Guang to work in her company, which made Lao Guang very upset. What could Kang Qirui say or do to change Hong Meihua's mind? Kang Qirui didn't think he could stop Hong Meihua from looking for reporters, after all, her company had its own reporters.

Since going to Hong Meihua's company was inevitable, it would be better to bring it up myself, saving the boss the trouble of an interview. Besides, Hong Meihua paid a very high salary, so the sooner you can earn more money, the better.

After Hong Meihua left, the second brother was still looking at the door motionlessly. The first brother just shook the second brother and said, "What's wrong? You are looking at her back motionlessly. Do you like her very much?"

"I like her money." The second brother sighed, "Boss, it's fine if you don't listen to me, but doesn't what A Rui said make sense? You just don't want it, and you let such a big toad go. I even doubt if your last name is Kang."

"Hello?" The boss was speechless.

"It must have been the night your parents created you. There was thunder and lightning." The second brother joked.

The big boss couldn't stand it anymore, he retorted: "You are not surnamed Kang, look at my father, although he is stingy, he still has a strong sense of justice. Not to mention my mother, she has always been a good person. Rui asked me to accept the red envelope because he thought it was the right thing to do?"

The boss forgot his words halfway through and had to look at Kang Qirui. Kang Qirui held back his laughter for a while before saying, "If you take the gold, it won't hurt your trip. If you don't take the gold, you won't be able to save people."

"Yes, that's what I mean. A'rui's idea makes sense, but what about you? You just want to take it when you see the money." The eldest brother continued to talk to the second brother.

As Er Lao listened, he actually felt that it made sense. He asked in confusion, "Yes, what you said makes sense. Am I your father's illegitimate son?"

"That's not necessarily true. Second brother, look at us, all of us brothers are handsome, except you. Haha." Kang Qirui's meaning was self-evident, that is, the second brother was ugly.

"No way? I'm not even my dad's child? Isn't that a bit too much?" The second brother was stunned.

Da Lao Guang didn't want to continue joking. He had seen all four of his brothers being born, so they must be from the Kang family. "Don't talk so much. Give me another massage." Da Lao Guang felt that his waist was uncomfortable.

"Don't mess with me. I'm afraid that your beautiful girl will come to the Kang family again. If she sees what I did to you, she will chase me with a kitchen knife." The second brother refused directly.

"A Rui, please press it for me." The eldest brother just looked at the second brother who was unwilling and did not force him.

"Okay, I'll go get you some medicated oil for massage." Kang Qirui nodded and couldn't help but teasing, "Boss, you really need to take care of your waist. You haven't given birth to the baby yet." After saying that, he went in quickly to get the medicated oil.

"Ahhhhhh." When Kang Qirui came back to help with the massage, Da Lao Guang kept screaming.

The old lady and her father came back from shopping and saw the youngest son massaging the older son. They asked, "What's wrong with Guang? Where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay, Mom." Da Lao Guang quickly comforted the two elders.

"Boss, you bravely caught a bag snatcher today and now he has an injury on his waist. Let me give you a massage." Kang Qirui was telling the truth.

"Oh, okay. I'm going to cook. Guang, I'll also stew some Eucommia ulmoides and pork kidney for you." said the old lady.

"No need, mom, it's okay." Big Brother Guang quickly refused.

"Boss, you'd better take some exercise. You have to go to work at Mr. Hong's company tomorrow. How can you do that if your waist isn't in good condition?" Kang Qirui said this half jokingly and half seriously.

"Mr. Hong? Going to work? What's going on?" asked the old man.

"Dad, this is what's going on. The person I helped today was Ms. Hong. She wanted to give me a red envelope, but I refused. Then she asked me to work in her company." The boss just kept it short.

"Oh, I see." My father was also very pleased.
