Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 75 Give A Yao some advice
"Alas, this time I really won't pick up the money even if I have it."

On the evening of June 6, the second brother had been sighing since he got home, and he didn't even have the mood to watch TV. The eldest brother asked with concern: "What's wrong with Zong? I saw you absent-minded in the store today?"

"Hey, boss, do you know? There's a pile of silver in front of me and I can't even pick it up. Don't you think it's miserable?" The second boss looked like he had suffered a great loss as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Ah? Did I do something to ruin the deal?" The boss took the blame immediately. He was the type with an inferiority complex and always felt that he was not good enough.

The second brother was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "It has nothing to do with you. I'm talking about stocks. B shares have been hitting the daily limit these past two days, and I'm always a step late and can't buy a single share."

It turned out that they were talking about stocks. The eldest brother just breathed a sigh of relief, as it had nothing to do with him. The second brother looked at A Yao and Kang Qirui with a tentative look and asked, "Did you two buy any?" He didn't look at A Zu because he knew that A Zu must not have the money to buy.

A Yao sighed and said, "I did buy it, but only 1 yuan. The rest of the money was used by Sachiko to invest in your company, leaving me 18 yuan for stock trading. But the increase is really good, it's increased by 5% in two days, hahaha." The second brother looked at Kang Qirui again, and Kang Qirui smiled and said, "I bought a little more than the third brother, 12. But the increase is not as high as the third brother, it increased by %, because most of my purchases were made today."

The second brother was even more upset. People are not worried about poverty but about inequality. He looked at his father again: "How much did you buy?" His father shook his head and sighed: "Alas, I didn't buy anything either. Every time I went to the stock exchange with your mother, the price of this would reach the limit just as I wanted to buy it. Then I wanted to buy that, but it also reached the limit, so I couldn't buy anything."

"Oh oh..." Er Lao finally calmed down a little. He was not the only one who was unlucky. Kang Qirui deliberately angered Er Lao and asked, "Dad, how is the ST Nanyao you bought last time?"

Lao Dou got excited when he said this, and said excitedly: "Haha, that's great, it was only 13 when I bought it, and now it has risen to 4. I think it can still rise, it can still rise hahahahaha"

"Doesn't that mean I made more than 7 dollars per share? Ahhhhhhhhhh my money." The second brother suddenly felt sick.

Seeing Er Lao's frustrated look, Kang Qirui didn't want to continue to provoke him, so he suggested: "Er Lao, if you really can't buy B shares, you can return the money and buy this ST Nanyao."

"A Rui, do you think it can go up further?" The second brother was attracted at once, and the old man also looked over curiously.

Kang Qirui analyzed: "They are now divesting their non-performing assets in an orderly manner and transforming towards the high-tech field. The current stock price is not the end and it can still rise. I plan to exchange the remaining Hong Kong dollars tomorrow and buy this ST Nanyao." The enthusiasm for B shares is too high, and it is impossible to buy them. It is not convenient to buy them these days, so I can only settle for the next best thing.

When the elder brother heard that the price could still go up, he continued watching TV without any worries. The second elder brother took the second elder brother's wife aside and whispered to her about exchanging the money back, mainly about how much money to get.

At this time, Sachiko came out of the room, turned off the TV, and said, "Let's stop talking about the stock market. I have something to bother you with."

"What's the matter? The TV is off. Turn it on first." The second brother asked in confusion. Normally, they never turned off the TV when they talked about anything. Even when they were talking about such a serious issue as making money, they did it while watching TV.

"Is watching TV more important, or is the fate of our Kang family more important?" Sachiko offered a choice between two options for happiness.

"The fate of the Kang family?" Kang Qirui didn't understand.

"It's not that serious, right? Don't scare me." My father was a little panicked.

When A Yao heard what Sachiko said, he wanted to get up and leave, but Sachiko stopped him, "Why are you running? Am I not here for you now?" A Yao sat back down obediently. Sachiko held A Yao's hand and said to everyone, "The future of our Kang family is in the hands of this man."

"Huh? Third uncle, when did you switch to Feng Shui? Look at my palm lines." The second sister-in-law saw Sachiko holding A Yao's hand and thought that A Yao had switched to palm reading.

A Yao patted the hand that his second sister-in-law extended to him and said, "Don't listen to what Xingzi said."

"It's like this. Our Ayao's unit is about to start a competitive recruitment system, and the entire leadership team will have to be fully adjusted." Sachiko explained, but everyone was indifferent to the news. Azu even said directly: "Their unit has to readjust every year."

"Sachiko, if you think this news is interesting, you and A Yao can go back to the room and play, and don't disturb us from watching TV, okay?" Er Lao picked up the TV remote control and wanted to turn on the TV.

Sachiko snatched the remote control from Er Lao's hand and said with a frown, "Don't be impatient. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Maybe A Yao will have a chance to become the director."

"What? Director?" At this time, everyone was more surprised than interested.

Kang Qirui said with a smile: "From deputy section chief to director? Third brother, do you want to take a helicopter?"

"Brother, I have never thought about riding a helicopter." A Yao shook his head and said, "I have been working for so many years to become a deputy section chief. To be elected as a director, you have to take an exam. How can I have that ability?"

"As a person, you should abide by the law and stop daydreaming. You should do everything according to the rules. Do you think you can do whatever you want?" The old man also disagreed with A Yao's election as the director.

Sachiko said indignantly: "You can do whatever you want now. As long as Ayao seizes this opportunity, our Kang family will be glorious." "What's glorious or shameful? Is our Kang family shameless now?" The second brother is much richer than before, and speaks more confidently. Not only that, he also dragged Kang Qirui into it: "Also, our Rui Shao will be promoted to associate professor soon, an associate professor at a key university, isn't our Kang family glorious enough?"

Kang Qirui, who was named, was helpless. Under everyone's puzzled gazes, he said, "Ahem, it hasn't been confirmed yet. I may not be on the list. I'll tell you when it's confirmed." Kang Qirui didn't like to show off before things were finalized.

Sachiko was even more confident and said, "Why didn't Associate Professor A Ruizheng say that he was restless, daydreaming, and not following the rules?" This was a reference to my father. She continued, "Now the times have changed. It's different from before. You can strive for everything by yourself."

This is indeed the truth. In this era, you can fight for everything on your own. However, within the unit,
"Yes, yes, we can strive for it." The young man Azu naturally agreed with this, but he went on to say, "Third sister-in-law, are you asking us to raise funds? I'll make it clear in advance that I don't have any money." Support is available, but money is not available. This is Azu's attitude.

"I don't want your money, I just want you to motivate him." Sachiko said, "He has no idea at all."

"Oh, so it's mobilization, isn't that simple?" The second sister-in-law began to dance and sing: "Uncle San is good, Uncle San is the best, Uncle San is the director and no one can beat him." Everyone applauded enthusiastically.

The old man looked at A Yao and asked in confusion: "A Yao, you don't dare to participate in the election?"

"Dad, you're right. He's the kind of person who backs down when it comes to the critical moment. He's completely useless." Sachiko hated him for not living up to his expectations.

"Ayao, why don't you run for election?" asked the second brother.

"I'm only a deputy section chief now. If I run for director, people will say I'm greedy." A Yao said, "Besides, Director Zhao will retire in three years. How can I compete with him?"

"He really has no ambition at all." Sachiko complained, then looked at Kang Qirui and said, "Arui, please help me persuade him." After marrying into the Kang family for so long, she also understood that the most capable and influential person in the Kang family is her brother-in-law. Generally, the Kang family would not object to his decisions. If Kang Qirui persuaded A Yao, she thought A Yao would definitely listen.

But Kang Qirui unexpectedly said, "Third sister-in-law, I don't agree with my third brother's running for director either." Sachiko's face darkened visibly, and she was about to get angry. Kang Qirui quickly stated his reasons.

"What do you look at for promotion? Background and academic qualifications. We don't have any background, do we?" Sachiko and A Yao nodded. Kang Qirui continued, "As for academic qualifications, your school, third brother, is not even a regular college. It's a fake college." Even Sachiko, who also graduated from a college, looked down on A Yao's school, so he couldn't refute it now.

"Expanding university enrollment is an inevitable trend. Our school has done statistics, and the number of undergraduate admissions nationwide was 98 million in 100. After the policy of expanding college enrollment was introduced in 99, the number of undergraduate admissions in 00 jumped directly to 260 million." After Kang Qirui shared the statistics from the school's Academic Affairs Office with everyone, everyone was shocked.

"Won't that mean the streets will be full of undergraduates in the future?" The second brother and his wife, who have sons, are naturally most concerned about this education issue.

"Definitely." Kang Qirui confirmed the views of his second brother and his wife, "This year, the age limit for college admissions has been completely lifted. Everyone has seen it. Even my cousin Bing said last month that he wanted to take the college entrance examination."

"According to internal information from our school, there will be policies requiring further expansion of enrollment in the next few years. It is expected that the number of undergraduate admissions will reach 05 million in 500, and the total number of students in general higher education nationwide will exceed 2010 million by 2500."

The information Kang Qirui gave was that some people were happy and some were worried. The happy ones were the second brother and his wife. Tianxiu was very happy about the 2010 college entrance examination and the expansion of university enrollment. The worried one was naturally Sachiko, who understood why Kang Qirui said this: there were so many undergraduates, how could Ayao, a fake college student, compete with them?

And Sachiko was powerless to refute. The saying that academic qualifications do not represent everything is only suitable for being your own boss. When A Yao graduated, a junior college was already very impressive, so he was able to enter the unit as a deputy section chief. He enjoyed academic qualifications back then, and now he naturally has to succumb to academic qualifications.

In the original storyline, A Yao will go to the trade union to become a section chief next year. However, Kang Qirui feels that the transfer from the department to the trade union is actually a demotion. After 20 years, he was promoted to deputy director. He may not be able to get the treatment of a director before retirement. The biggest reason for this, Kang Qirui believes, is A Yao's education.

"What should I do?" A Yao was also anxious. Although he was not very interested this time, he still wanted to make progress.

"I think the most important thing for Third Brother right now is not to take the director exam, but to improve his academic qualifications." Kang Qirui suggested: "Why don't you take the exam at our school? Our school's School of Continuing Education is very strong. This year it was just named an advanced collective for the National Higher Education Self-study Examination. But our school is different from other schools. Other schools only require payment, but our school really requires classes and exams."

"That's it. Those exams that only require money are useless." Sachiko made the final decision. A Yao, who was controlled by his wife, had no choice but to agree. He was also persuaded by Kang Qirui, so he took the initiative to ask, "When is the exam?"

"Generally, registration is in October, the exam is in November, and admission is in December. Third brother, it's enough for you to start preparing now. You still need to review for five or six months." Kang Qirui replied.

Sachiko thought for a moment and then said, "Arui, can you help our Ayao see what review materials he needs to buy?"

"There are special review classes. I'll ask tomorrow and get my third brother into the cram school." Kang Qirui remembered that there was a teacher in their school who opened such a cram school outside. It would be impossible to get the test papers, but it would be okay to mark the key points.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Rui." Sachiko's face was full of joy.
