Zhao Qiye's reasoning was simple. He had no idea what Zhao Chi's income was and just assumed he was an ordinary Lord.
If Zhao Cang had been here, he probably wouldn't have said that.
But then Zhao Qiye suddenly added, "Wait, that's not right... What about Master Chen?"
Zhao Chi remained silent.
Zhao Qiye said, "It's going to be inconvenient for you later. Master Chen's large supply of Super Bright Kerosene is quite valuable. If it passes through your hands, you'll have to give half to Xiao Ning. How about this? After the battle in two days, why don't you introduce Master Chen to some other people in the clan? If you have a stake in it, the clan won't take it; it'll still be yours."
Zhao Chi knew he wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation to steal his connections.
After all, what he said made sense, and he had been very clear about it.
Zhao Chi smiled. "Let's talk about it after the battle."
"Alright."
