"Yun Shao, don't worry. I'll head to Haizhou immediately and ensure everything is handled perfectly for you."
On the other end of the line was Si Jinyan, a capable subordinate of Zhao Yunhai, specializing in unsavory tasks.
"Baby son, time to eat."
His mother's call echoed from downstairs. Zhao Yunhai turned and shouted back towards the door, "I know, I'll be right there."
Zhao Yunhai suddenly remembered Zhang Yunyi's protagonist's halo issue. If he were to handle it himself, the opponent's protagonist's halo wouldn't be effective. However, if he sent someone else, it would be uncertain.
He couldn't afford to be the one giving away experience points or sacrificing himself for nothing. Thus, Zhao Yunhai added with some unease, "Do things cleanly and decisively. If you can't take him down, retreat immediately and wait for my return."
"Yun Shao, rest assured. I will act according to your instructions," Si Jinyan guaranteed.
"Good."
Zhao Yunhai was quite confident in Si Jinyan's abilities. It was a pity the target was a protagonist. Even if it was just a commercial protagonist, no protagonist should be underestimated.
After hanging up, Zhao Yunhai finally went downstairs to eat.
"What were you doing upstairs? The food's gone cold."
Qin Siwan saw Zhao Yunhai slowly descending and then got up to open the rice cooker to serve rice. Yang Hui quickly went over to help carry the bowls.
"Just a phone call," Zhao Yunhai explained.
"Huh? Dad, you're back." Zhao Yunhai then turned and saw his father sitting on the sofa, quite surprised.
He had only been upstairs for a moment, and his father was already back. It was clear his mother had notified him in advance, otherwise, he wouldn't have arrived so quickly.
His father and mother's relationship could be described as mutually respectful. Although they often bickered, they never had major arguments, and his father often yielded to his mother.
Even though his father often let his mother have her way at home, he was a smiling tiger outside, acting very domineering and forceful, unable to tolerate anyone speaking ill of him.
Zhao Hongwen stood up, patted his son's shoulder. He was already as tall as himself. He sat at the head of the dining table and gestured for Zhao Yunhai to sit down.
"Having your own career is a good thing. If you encounter any difficulties, don't hesitate to tell me. After all, you are my son."
Zhao Hongwen was also very concerned about his son's career. After all, his son was still young, and he needed to keep a close eye on him to prevent any major problems.
"I haven't encountered any particularly troublesome issues for now."
Zhao Yunhai felt he didn't need any help. His father's previous assistance with the Fuyun Chamber of Commerce's affairs was enough.
His starting point was already the peak. Of course, if he encountered something difficult to resolve, he wouldn't mind asking his father for help.
He wouldn't be like those protagonists who, despite having excellent family backgrounds, insisted on starting from scratch, only to end up benefiting from their family connections anyway.
"By the way, I will personally keep an eye on the Fuyun Chamber of Commerce."
Zhao Hongwen took the bowl of rice handed to him by his wife, took a bite, and continued, "I find that Zhang Yunyi to be a bit unusual."
"What's unusual about him?" Zhao Yunhai took the bowl of rice from Yang Hui, pretending to be curious.
Did his father also know about Zhang Yunyi's special nature, or perhaps his father had unique insight and was a good judge of character?
Afterward, Zhao Yunhai saw his father looking at him with a very meaningful gaze.
"Because you've gone to such lengths to deal with him, logically speaking, you shouldn't be paying so much attention to such a minor character."
"The fact that you're paying so much attention to him and plotting against him suggests he must be someone out of the ordinary."
Zhao Hongwen had no time to pay attention to a minor character. It was only recently, while observing his son, that he noticed such a person.
Zhao Yunhai secretly chuckled at himself for overthinking, thinking his father had some special intuition. He then said with a smile, "He is indeed unusual, but he's just a minor character."
"Don't let a 'capsizing in the gutter' incident happen to a successor of the Zhao family."
Seeing his son's confidence, Zhao Hongwen cautioned him with some unease.
"Alright, can you two not discuss business at home?"
Qin Siwan, seeing them talk endlessly, couldn't help but remind them to be mindful of where they were.
Zhao Yunhai and his father exchanged glances and silently ate their meals, no longer speaking.
Qin Siwan smiled in satisfaction, seeing how her words had made the father and son obediently eat.
Yang Hui also found the scene amusing for the first time and buried her head in her meal, secretly chuckling.
So, Aunt Qin held such a high position in the family, managing to keep the powerful Master of the Zhao family and the future heir, Zhao Yunhai, completely in line.
After the meal, Zhao Yunhai and Zhao Hongwen sat on the living room sofa like lords, watching television. Yang Hui and Qin Siwan washed the dishes and cleaned up.
Zhao Yunhai was waiting for news from Si Jinyan. Logically, Si Jinyan should have finished his task by now, either succeeding or failing, and should have sent a message.
Zhao Hongwen noticed his son seemed preoccupied and tried to strike up a conversation to capture his attention.
"Regarding the aftermath of Wu Guofeng, the martial physician you dealt with last time, I've already handled the potential hidden dangers."
"Next time, you need to try to consider the consequences and make the worst-case preparations before acting."
"I've been keeping an eye on this matter. After all, with you here, I don't need to worry too much about these issues."
Zhao Yunhai put his phone aside and looked up at his father, smiling wryly.
He had indeed paid some attention to the follow-up of this matter. However, after seeing his father suppress it, he hadn't paid much more attention.
After all, with a father of immense power, he didn't need to consider consequences as much as ordinary people.
Although Zhao Hongwen was a businessman, as the head of the Zhao family, all members of the Zhao clan were at his disposal.
In the vastness of the Nine Provinces, there were not a few Zhao family members in official positions, all of whom had received the assistance of Zhao family resources to climb their way up.
Moreover, many people had pledged their allegiance to the Zhao family. Therefore, even if Zhao Hongwen was not directly in certain circles, he could still make people in those circles wary of him.
"Baby son, come upstairs with me for a moment." Qin Siwan called from the top of the stairs.
"Coming," Zhao Yunhai got up and ran over.
Zhao Yunhai followed his mother to the makeup room upstairs. His mother directly opened a cabinet, inside which was a specially made diamond business card.
"You've also started your own career. Mom doesn't have much to support you with, so take this."
Zhao Yunhai took the card and examined it. It was simply a name and a phone number, with no description. "Mom, what is this card?"
Qin Siwan straightened the wrinkles on her precious son's clothes and said casually,
"This is the contact information for Anshui Security. I've already spoken to the person in charge there. If you ever need anything, they will assist you with all their might."
"When you're out, if you ever feel wronged, don't keep it to yourself. If you can't handle it yourself, tell your dad and me. Home will always be your strongest backing."
Zhao Yunhai put the card away and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mom. How could I possibly be wronged?"
Perhaps this was the difference between a villain's family and a protagonist's family. Villain families were extremely united, while protagonist families were rife with infighting and schemes.
