Chapter 59 Manager Kang
April 9, Monday.
Early in the morning, Boss Guang went to work in his new company wearing ordinary clothes, while Kang Qirui took Zhu Wanling and her mother to the Xungen Permanent Cemetery, where cousin Bing was already waiting. , today is the auspicious day for cousin Bing to go back to the countryside to ask his third uncle to calculate the fortune. It is also the day for cousin Bing and grandpa Kang Qirui to move their graves and lay them to rest.
Some places think it is not good for newlyweds to visit graves, but Kang Qirui does not believe this. For him, visiting the graves is just a way of respecting and remembering his ancestors, and he doesn't believe in anything else. Moreover, the Kang family's old custom in the countryside was to "bring these five people with you to the grave, and the ancestors will be happy and rich." One of these five people is the newcomer, so Kang Qirui has no burden on this matter.
After all matters were completed, several people went down the mountain. "Sister, then I will go back to the countryside." Cousin Bing still has to go back to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors, so he can only do this. Neither mother nor Kang Qirui is qualified.
"Yes." The old woman was not in a good mood, so she agreed and went home. It wasn't until after dinner and watching TV that the Jade Channel premiered "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" today that the old lady who was obsessed with Jin Yong slowly calmed down.
Halfway through watching the TV, the boss just came back, but it was very different from when he went out in the morning. He had a neat suit, a specially styled hair style, and a small follower behind him. The little follower followed Big Brother Guang into the door and handed the several bags he was holding to Big Brother Guang and said: "Manager Kang, when will I pick you up tomorrow morning?
Big Brother Guang took the bags , said sheepishly: "Don't bother me, I'll just ride my bike to work tomorrow." "
"No trouble, no trouble, that car is for your exclusive use. "The little attendant also hurriedly explained the situation, "It's the most basic task to pick you up from get off work. Please tell me a time. "
Big Brother Guang hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is six-thirty too late? ”
The little follower was stunned and said in surprise: "Six-thirty?"
The boss thought it was too late, so he quickly changed his mind: "Then half-past five."
>This time, the little follower was really confused. He asked uncertainly: "Manager Kang, do you have the habit of morning exercise?"
The boss was still thinking about the other party's logic. At that time, Yumi couldn't stand watching anymore and said to the boss Guang: "Oh, brother, big companies don't start work until half past eight. For a manager-level person like you, you have a lot of social activities at night, and your work during the day is just It’s more free.”
The second guy also said, “Big brother, if you don’t sleep, the driver will also sleep.”
The boss Guang also said angrily: "I've never been to a big company, how do I know their rules? I already told you not to pick me up."
"Let's do this, Manager Kang, look Is this arrangement okay?" The little attendant said, "I'll tell the driver to pick you up at eight o'clock." Seeing that the boss agreed, the little attendant left.
After the guests left, Lao Dou’s mother immediately came up to hang around the boss. Her son was promising, with a naked body, a beautiful neck, and well-dressed people. Both elders showed comforting smiles.
But the boss didn’t feel very comfortable with this smile. He said: “What’s wrong? Do I look ugly in this dress? If it looks bad, I’ll take it off.” After saying that, he was about to take off his coat. Take it off.
“It’s not hard to see.” Lao Dou said with a smile, “I’m really impressed, are you my son? Hahaha.”
"Dad, are you serious, did you drink too much during the meal?" The boss looked helpless.
While eating the apple peeled by Zhu Wanling, Kang Qirui asked: "Boss, what kind of manager did Mr. Hong ask you to do? How much does it cost per month?"
Hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears curiously, only to hear the boss say: "Manager of the public relations department, ten thousand yuan a month."
"Wow! Ten thousand yuan." The second sister-in-law was a little bit agitated. Said enviously.
The second guy: "So you have a car now, right?" The boss didn't know if the company's car was his own, so he said uncertainly: "It should be."
Old Dou flew up happily, "There are still followers."
The boss Guang corrected him: "Dad, why do you say it so harshly, secretary."
Xiang Lan answered After passing the bag in the boss's hand, he opened it and saw that it was full of clothes, and they were all famous brands. He couldn't help but ask: "Husband, how much does it cost to buy so many brand-name clothes?"
"I don't know about that. I didn't pay for it." The boss just thought about it and he really didn't know how much he spent. How much.
“Wow, it’s free.” “There’s no cap on spending money.” “Exaggeration.” Everyone started talking.
"This is called scheming." The second brother didn't know whether he was joking or serious. He said: "At that time, the boss didn't want the money given by Mr. Hong. I thought he was stupid, but it turned out that I was stupid. Jiang is still the boss It’s so spicy.”
“Come on, come on, sit down, sit down.” Lao Dou gave up the seat of the master’s chair to the boss, which showed that he was really happy for the boss.
After Kang Qirui finished eating the apple, he pulled out a piece of paper towel and wiped his mouth and asked: "Boss, how are you? How does it feel to be a manager on your first day at work?"
Big Lao Guang recalled for a while and said: "How do you feel? I don't feel anything. Today I just went to buy clothes and do my hair, and then had dinner with Mr. Hong. Finally, the driver took me back."
"Wow! Being a manager is so exciting. Okay? You don’t have to do anything all day long?” asked the second sister-in-law in confusion.
"Of course, the boss has turned into a phoenix. He has dug out a big ancient well, so there is no need to work." The second boss said with a strange smile. Yumi was very curious after hearing this. She pulled her second sister-in-law who was sitting next to her and asked, "What does digging out the ancient well mean?" Xianglan also looked at it with a look of curiosity. She also wanted to know what her second uncle said about her husband digging What on earth was Gu Jing talking about her husband?
Digging an ancient well is a common saying in Guangfu and also belongs to ancient Chinese. Wu Jianren, a writer in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote in Chapter 57 of his novel "The Strange Current Situation Witnessed in Twenty Years": "Although I understand Cantonese, I don't understand their market lingo. What is this 'Taogujing'? Very puzzled. "Even the ancients didn't understand this lingo, so it was normal that Yumi Koran didn't understand it.
The second sister-in-law saw Xianglan looking at her curiously. She didn’t really want to talk nonsense on this topic, so she looked at Kang Qirui and said, "This Yao Shu is the most shy. "Uncle Yao, please explain it to Yumei."
Kang Qirui didn't expect his second sister-in-law to blame him, so he had no choice but to say: "The so-called Tao Gujing means that a man marries an 'Gujing', this Gujing." It is not a well in the real sense, but a metaphor, which is commonly known as a man marrying a widow, a prostitute, or a wealthy woman with an innocent background. "
After hearing this, Xianglan's expression changed, and she glared at the second brother with an angry expression. But Yumi asked innocently: "Why are prostitutes and widows called Gujing?"
"Ahem, cough, cough." Kang Qirui pretended to cough and didn't answer, and then changed the topic: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Hey, boss, Mr. Hong recognized you from Xiguan Middle School last time. Are you alumni? "Only gossip can defeat gossip, and as expected, everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
“Yes, she even said she was my admirer.” The boss looked proud.
"Isn't it? Boss, your grades were very poor when you were studying. Do you admire you? It's almost like having people worshiping Rui when he was studying." The second brother looked like he didn't believe it, and even used Kang Qirui to pull him. Step on. This made Zhu Wanling's eyes look wrong. Kang Qirui secretly said, "Young man, if you don't believe that the boss has admirers, why don't you just say that you have admirers?"
"Have you forgotten? I was the captain of the basketball team when I was in school. Our team always won the championship when we went out to compete." Guang, the boss, explained. So you are the original Jordan?
"Basketball star? Alas liked basketball stars the most when he was young." Yumi exclaimed, and then said: "Brother Aguang, you are the manager now, can Alaa work as a secretary in your company or something?" "
"Okay, of course. It's okay for Yumi to be the secretary." The second brother directly helped the boss Guang make the decision, and then looked at the boss Guang, "Boss, Yumi will take care of me. Well, why don’t you take care of me, your brother?”
Originally, the boss of Yumei didn’t want to agree, but now another one came and said helplessly: “How can I take care of you?”< br>
"That's not easy. You are the manager of the public relations department now. Don't worry, I won't climb on your head. I will be the manager of the public relations branch." The second guy said with a smile, "You little brother, I use my brain. When the time comes, you don't have to worry about anything when I'm here."
"Hello? Do you want to close the store?" The boss hasn't spoken yet. , the second sister-in-law said angrily.
"There you are." The second guy said.
"I'm going to the hardware store, who's in charge of the clothing store?" Originally, the big boss left, and the hardware store was overwhelmed with only the second guy left. If the second guy didn't care, then the second sister-in-law really called Tiantian No more.
"How come you are still so stupid after being married to me for decades?" The second brother kept talking: "You can hire someone. The most important thing is that after I become a manager, I can use it for personal gain. The company will give out rewards. , give them all coupons for our clothing store. If the company wants to do some projects, we will bring them all back to the hardware store. Wow, we’ll make a fortune.”
“Oh, you think I run the company? So much, I feel uncomfortable wearing this dress, so I went to take a shower." The boss just chose to escape and not participate in this topic.
"How about that?" the second sister-in-law said as she looked at everyone.
"Go to bed early, you will have everything in your dreams, hahaha." Kang Qirui pulled Zhu Wanling back to the room.
For the next period of time, the boss came back very late every night and got drunk every night. Xianglan felt distressed when she saw the boss like this. She originally thought it was a good thing As it turns out, just because the boss has a job with a more promising future, his family will soon be able to live a good life like the other uncles. But now she regrets it. She prefers that the family can be ordinary and comfortable.
Kang Qirui looked at all this, he was not very worried, he knew the development of this matter, and he was waiting for the time to come. Finally, it was not only the boss's secretary who sent Da Lao Guang back that night, but also Mr. Hong. Before she left, she invited Xiang Lan to have coffee tomorrow.
When the time came, Kang Qirui knocked on the boss’s door, and it was Xianglan who opened the door. She said, “Arui, your boss is drunk and is asleep now. What do you have? What's wrong?"
"I'm looking for you, sister-in-law," Kang Qirui said, "Let's come to the living room."
Xianglan closed the door, walked to the tea table, sat on the sofa, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something going on in the store?"
"No, no." Kang Qirui said. Waving her hand, "Mr. Hong just wanted to invite you to the coffee shop tomorrow?"
Xianglan breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Kang Qirui wouldn't let her go to work in the clothing store, so she said, "Yes. Mr. Hong is really nice. Aguang just helped her, and she arranged work for Aguang. She even invited me to drink coffee tomorrow to thank me. "
"She didn't thank you. She wants you to leave the boss." Kang Qirui said very bluntly.
Xianglan was stunned, "Huh? Why? She, she, she." Then she wanted to cry. Kang Qirui quickly said: "Sister-in-law, don't cry, don't cry. What if the family comes out and thinks I'm right?" How are you?”
After Xianglan calmed down a little, Kang Qirui continued: "Don't tell the boss first, I will go with you tomorrow. See if we can solve this matter. If not, let's ask the boss to resign."
"Okay." Xianglan agreed. If possible, she also wants her husband to keep this job that pays 10,000 yuan a month. Of course, the premise is that they are a good couple.
