Although it was just an ordinary family banquet, Zhao Hai still managed to learn a lot of things. He was an otaku, so how could he manage so many people? Although he learned a lot of things from reading books, it was still very difficult for him to use them in practice. There were too many things that he needed to learn.
The next morning, Zhao Hai came out of the Space. When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Smith. Smith was standing in the courtyard. When he saw Zhao Hai, Smith couldn't help but smile and said, "You're up? Did you drink a lot yesterday? Do you have a headache? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Fortunately, I drank some hangover soup last night, so I didn't suffer much. Uncle, are you okay?"
Smith smiled bitterly and said, "There's only one day in a year, it's normal for me to suffer a bit with my family. Alright, let's eat together."
After eating breakfast, Zhao Hai prepared to go out and see the situation in Carson City. Suddenly, a servant came in with an invitation. The servant bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master Zhao Hai, someone sent you an invitation. It was sent by Prince Charlie's servant."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he opened the invitation and saw that it was an invitation to a banquet. Charlie was holding a banquet tonight and he was invited to attend.
Zhao Hai gently knit his brows, then he nodded and said, "Alright, tell the servant that I'll be there." The servant nodded and then turned around to leave.
Zhao Hai quietly looked at the invitation. He wasn't afraid of meeting people, he just didn't like to participate in banquets. However, he also knew that with his current status, it was impossible for him to avoid it.
After sighing, Zhao Hai received the invitation. At this time, Laura and the others came in from outside, laughing and chatting. They had just returned from visiting Lin Tao's courtyard.
When Laura saw that Zhao Hai's complexion wasn't good, she couldn't help but be curious, "Brother Hai, what happened? What happened? "
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly as he took out the invitation and handed it over to Laura. Laura took the invitation and looked at it, then she smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It seems like Charlie wants to introduce you to his subordinates. Moreover, there's an official invitation. It seems like there will be a lot of people coming tonight. You might even meet some of the Great Clans."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I also know that I can meet people from the Great Families. Charlie did this to mark me with his label, letting everyone know that I'm his person. Megan, you don't need to go tonight, I'm afraid that this might affect the Calci Family." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "You don't need to go tonight, I'm afraid that this will affect the Calci Family.
Megan shook her head and said, "No, I want to go, why wouldn't I? Big Brother Hai, don't worry about it. Even if they think that the Calci Family supported Charlie, what can they do to the Calci Family? Even if Prince Charlie fails to seize the throne, as long as you support him, they wouldn't dare to do anything to him. As long as Prince Charlie's position is still there, they wouldn't dare to go too far. And with you, I think that Prince Charlie's chances of ascending the throne are the highest. "
Zhao Hai looked at Megan and smiled, "Alright, then we'll all go. Right, do you have formal attire? We can't lose the Buda Clan's face."
Megan smiled and said, "We don't, it doesn't matter. I'll have the family's clothing room make a new set of attire for Big Brother Hai." Then she turned around and ordered a servant to look for someone from the clothing room.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, it seems like Terry will also be going. You need to be careful, Terry might make things difficult for you during the banquet. Terry is a very sinister person, he might not appear personally, but he has a lot of people under him. I asked Megan two days ago, the Robert Family's status in the Rosen Empire isn't low."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, nothing will happen. They can't do anything to me. Right, go and prepare." Laura nodded.
Before long, the people from the clothing room arrived and measured Zhao Hai's size. Before long, a black evening attire was delivered to Zhao Hai's hands.
This evening attire was a very traditional Noble attire. The workmanship was very fine and it even had the Buda Clan's emblem embroidered on it. Zhao Hai didn't think that the Calci Family's people would act this quickly. From this point, one could see the gap between a new noble and an old noble.
Zhao Hai and the others tried on the clothes and found that they fit, so there was nothing else to prepare. However, Zhao Hai still told Smith about this matter. He didn't expect Smith to already know about it, it turns out that the Calci Family also received an invitation.
As the sky slowly darkened, Zhao Hai and the others sat on the Giant Horned Ox Carriage and headed towards Carson City. During God's Grace Day, Carson City's gates wouldn't be closed at night. However, entering and exiting required a very detailed registration.
Shun and the others had already been to Charlie's mansion, so they didn't need anyone to lead the way. Along the way, Zhao Hai could see carriages passing by them.
These carriages looked at Zhao Hai's carriage, some of them even stopped to greet Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai took note of these people, most of them were Charlie's subordinates.
Before long, the Giant Horned Ox Carriage stopped in front of Charlie's mansion. When the servant in front of the door saw Zhao Hai's carriage, he immediately came forward and bowed, "Are you Mister Zhao Hai?"
Zhao Hai opened the carriage door and looked at the servant, "I am Zhao Hai."
The servant immediately replied, "Mister, please come to the backyard. His Highness ordered that Mister's carriage can enter the mansion directly from the back door. When Mister visits in the future, this way please."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Lead the way." The servant complied and walked beside the carriage towards the backyard.
The backyard of the mansion wasn't a place that just anyone can enter. Generally, other than the family members, other people wouldn't be able to enter through the back door. This was because the back door was directly connected to the mansion's hinterland.
After entering the backyard from the back door, the servant immediately led Zhao Hai forward. Before long, they arrived at the living room. Charlie was standing in front of the living room with several people behind him. These people were also wearing formal attire and had family badges on their bodies. Zhao Hai looked at them and saw that their ranks weren't very high. It was obvious that there weren't any old nobles among them.
Zhao Hai led Laura and the others to give a salute to Charlie. Charlie smiled and said, "Little Hai, you came. Why don't you give me your carriage? I'll get you a better carriage. Don't you think that the carriage is too slow?" Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "If your highness likes my carriage, then I'll just give it to you. But I don't want your carriage, it's too fast and unstable. I'm not used to it."
Charlie smiled and said, "You're really generous. Come, let's go to the living room and sit for a while. I also have some people that I want to introduce to you."
Zhao Hai followed Charlie into the living room. Laura and the others were led by the servants to the side hall where Charlie and the other nobles were present. However, none of the nobles were like Zhao Hai, bringing several women to a banquet.
After entering the living room, Charlie introduced several people to Zhao Hai. Actually, these people belonged to the same family. Zhao Hai already knew that these people were Charlie's loyal subordinates. Ever since Zhao Hai opened his shop in Jade Water City, these families had been very close to Zhao Hai's shop. Because of this, Zhao Hai was able to recognize them.
After the group greeted each other, they sat down. Charlie looked at the group and smiled, "Since you're all here today, I won't beat around the bush. You're all people that I trust the most. From now on, you'll be a family. I hope that you can get closer to each other in the future."
Zhao Hai nodded and smiled, "Certainly. Your highness can rest assured, we're all your people. If there's any trouble, then we wouldn't be causing trouble for your highness."
A tall person sitting next to Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, what Mister Zhao Hai said is reasonable. Your highness can rest assured."
This person was from the Yinmi Family. The Yinmi Family was a new family that had only been around for a hundred years. They also held the title of Count. However, their family had been generals for generations, so they were very good at leading troops. But now that the Rosen Empire was the continent's most powerful country, most people didn't dare to provoke them. Because of this, the Yinmi Family didn't have any opportunities to gain merits.
This person was called Zhan Yingmi. He was a typical warrior with a very straightforward temperament. However, it was precisely because of this character that the Yingmi Family didn't have a good time. This was because the family wasn't good at doing business. Just relying on the income of the territory wasn't very satisfactory.
However, Zhao Hai actually liked this person. Among the nobles, there weren't many who had such a straightforward temperament. This was because such a temperament was very disadvantageous to the nobles.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai and Zhan, the others also agreed. Charlie nodded and said, "Father is now in his prime, so although he wants us to develop ourselves, he doesn't want us to form cliques. Your families aren't in the core of the Imperial Capital, so you won't attract attention. However, I hope that you can pay attention to your actions and be careful." Charlie nodded and said, "Father is in his prime.
The group nodded, then Charlie continued, "Now that Mister Zhao has joined me, it can be said that it will have a certain impact on me. My brothers don't have an expert like Mister, and the most important thing is that I can't invite a 9th rank expert. This will be of great help to me, but my brothers will be jealous, I'm afraid that even Father will pay attention to me. Therefore, I hope that everyone will be low-key in the future, so as to not leave any room for gossip."
When Zhao Hai heard Charlie, he couldn't help but apologize, "I've caused trouble to Your Highness, this Zhao Hai didn't think it through."
Charlie waved his hand, then he smiled and said, "No, Mister's strength might bring me some trouble, but it wouldn't be too big of a problem. Mister doesn't need to worry about it. On the contrary, with Mister here, those who want to make a move against us would have to think twice. Mister's help to us is even greater."
The others nodded, they also agreed with Charlie's words. Among the Princes, the Crown Prince had always been in the capital, it can be said that he had the most influence. The Second Prince had also developed well in the past few years, he was also very high-profile, his strength wasn't weak. On the other hand, Charlie had always been low-key. Although he didn't attract attention, those who wanted to rely on him would have to think twice. Because of this, Charlie's strength wasn't that great.
But now that Zhao Hai had joined, things were different. Zhao Hai could invite 9th ranks as well as powerful undead. Most importantly, he was also the son-in-law of the Calci Family. With these identities, nobody in the continent would dare to look down on Zhao Hai.
And now that Zhao Hai was Charlie's subordinate, nobody dared to look down on Charlie. Some of the smaller nobles who were on the sidelines had already joined Charlie's side, increasing the strength of Charlie's subordinates.
However, Charlie had a clear understanding that although his subordinates' strength had increased recently, there weren't many who were truly loyal to him. Most of them were fence-sitters. Although they seemed to have a lot of influence, there weren't many who could be of use if something were to happen.
It was because of this that Charlie had them keep a low profile. Zhao Hai appreciated this point, he also knew that Charlie's influence was very big recently. He was afraid that Charlie would get carried away by this superficial phenomenon, but now it seems like he was thinking too much.
Zhao Hai looked at the group and smiled, "Your Highness, you're flattering me too much. But if you have any problems in the future, you can tell me. We're all in Your Highness' camp, we should help each other. Right, Brother Zhan, I think that after God's Grace Day, we should discuss our cooperation. I have a lot of grains in my hands, would Brother Zhan be interested?"
When Zhan heard Zhao Hai, he didn't understand what was going on. He was very clear that Zhao Hai's grains were all Peach Blossom Rice. And Peach Blossom Rice was already quite famous in the Rosen Empire. No matter who gets the right to sell Peach Blossom Rice, Zhao Hai was helping him.
Zhan looked gratefully at Zhao Hai and said, "I have to thank Brother Zhao Hai. If it weren't for His Highness' help in the past few years, I'm afraid that I would have been in debt a long time ago. You really helped me a lot."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "His Highness disdains the grain business. I don't have any distribution network in the Rosen Empire, so I need to find someone to cooperate with. Instead of looking for someone else, it's better to find someone to cooperate with."
Charlie laughed and said, "Good, Little Hai's words are good. Good words, don't let your fertile water flow into your own fields. In the future, everyone should be like this. Remember, we're all one family. If one day we succeed, then I, Charlie, swear to God that I won't mistreat you."
The group immediately gave their thanks. In the continent, swearing to God was already considered a heavy oath. Charlie really valued them very much.
