A kind smile spread out on the old man's face, and there were more wrinkles.
He looked at Huo Huanyu, with an indelible respect in his love, and said, "Young Master, stop making fun of me. At my age, my hair turned white ten years ago."
Huo Huanyu gently put his arm around Uncle Zhao's shoulders and said, "I told you, Uncle Zhao, that I've told you to take good care of yourself in old age, but you won't listen."
"Your son, grandson, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter-in-law, there are so many people in the Huo family working in the Huo family. There is no need for you to be busy with such an old bone. Outsiders will think that our Huo family treats you harshly."
Uncle Zhao said with a smile: "Okay, then I will give the master a report and retire and enjoy a few years of peace and happiness."
"That's right. Look at how smart my grandpa is. My dad gave up his job and retired as soon as he took over the business. Then you and your grandpa will farm every day, drink tea and fish. Isn't he nice?"
Huo Huanyu's attitude towards the old man named Uncle Zhao was very casual, but it was only this casualness that revealed Uncle Zhao's special status in the Huo family.
This old man seemed to be just a servant of the Huo family, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that when Uncle Zhao walked out of the Huo family's door, few people in the entire port city dared to provoke him.
Not to mention Huo Huanyu, even Huo Zhenzhou was raised by Uncle Zhao.
When Mr. Huo entered the world in that special war-torn era with a bomb wrapped around his waist, a grenade in his waistband and a gun in his hand, Uncle Zhao had already followed Mr. Huo.
It has been decades since the old man's men were all gone, but Uncle Zhao remained.
When Huo Huanyu was a child, he was naughty and made trouble. He once sent the grandson of the boat charter king to the hospital. At that time, Huo Zhenzhou was so angry that he wanted to beat Huo Huanyu to death.
The old man was not at home at that time, but Uncle Zhao stood in front of Huo Huanyu to protect him.
Even Huo Zhenzhou couldn't stop him.
This shows that Uncle Zhao has a high status in the Huo family.
It’s not that this old man has great power. He has been by the old man’s side all his life. There are so many companies in the Huo family, but Uncle Zhao has no position. He is just an ordinary servant in the Huo family’s house.
Not even wages were paid.
All of Uncle Zhao's descendants have lived in fine clothes and fine food since childhood, and attended aristocratic schools. All expenses were paid directly from the Huo family's account.
Such treatment is no different from that of blood relatives of the Huo family.
And everyone in the Huo family respects Uncle Zhao from the bottom of their hearts, who has taken bullets for the old man many times.
Huo Huanyu chuckled, leaned next to Uncle Zhao's head and said, "Uncle Zhao, where is my dad?"
Uncle Zhao smiled and replied: "Huo Sheng has gone to Aocheng. It will take a few days to come back."
Huo Huanyu rubbed his chin and said, "This is not going to be easy. You know I am stingy. If I go too far and I come back to trouble me, what should I do?"
Uncle Zhao saw through Huo Huanyu's thoughts at a glance and said, "But the master is back."
Huo Huanyu's eyes lit up, his face full of surprise, "Grandpa is back?"
"The master has just arrived and is resting in the other courtyard. Before coming, the master asked me to tell the young master that there is no need to go over to greet him and go directly to the business that needs to be done."
Pointing to the special car belonging to the head of the Huo family next to him, Uncle Zhao added: "The master has made the decision and transferred this car over. He said that if you want to use it, young master, you can use it in the next two days."
These words immediately gave Huo Huanyu great confidence.
