Xu Huaiyi returned to the bedroom with the scent of soap after bathing. Before entering the RV, he smelled his body again out of concern.

Gu Huanxi hadn't slept yet. She was half leaning on the bed, flipping through a book. When she saw him come in, she asked casually, "Where's Su Zhe?"

"I asked the housekeeper to take him to the hospital. He drank a little too much." Xu Huaiyi responded to her. He first went to the small bed to look at his daughter who was sleeping soundly. He kissed her twice, then went to the refrigerator to find yogurt. Then he sat on the edge of the bed, biting the straw again and again, his eyes no longer as clear as usual.

Gu Huanxi glanced at him and frowned, "You drank too much?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head and gave her a flattering smile, "At most I'm a little tipsy, but my mind is still clear. If you don't believe me, try to test me with a few brain twists."

He must have drunk a lot to say such things. Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes but didn't nag him about it. She just asked curiously, "Su Zhe came to see you suddenly. Did something happen?"

In ancient times, no one could visit someone's neighbor casually, especially among wealthy families who were very particular about etiquette. They had to invite guests in advance, and anyone who came uninvited would be regarded as a bad guest.

Unless it's an emergency!

Xu Huaiyi said, "Something went wrong. His home was robbed."

Gu Huanxi thought for a moment and came up with a guess, "Amusement park?"

"Um……"

"Betrayed by his subordinates?"

"Um……"

"It doesn't seem like he has no means to control his servants. Is it that the servants were coerced or bribed?"

"Um……"

"Sure enough, who is the other party? So blatant, could it be Su Rui?"

"Um……"

The two of them asked and answered each other with calm expressions. It was an old routine, nothing surprising at all.

Gu Huanxi was surprised by the Su family's attitude towards this matter. "Are they so shameless? Are they willing to go to such lengths just for their own amusement park?"

This is such a petty thing, not worthy of the title of the richest man!

Xu Huaiyi finally finished sucking the yogurt, opened the quilt, and lay down on the bed. He hugged her waist habitually and closed his eyes and said, "Su Rui is the chosen heir, so they have to give him face. No matter how dishonorable Su Rui is, they can't blame him too much. What's more, they have all benefited from it, so they can't open their mouths."

Gu Huanxi sneered when he heard this, "The Su family's vision is really... mistaking fish eyes for pearls. If they really want to promote such a person to the position, they are not afraid of ruining the foundation and reputation of their ancestors."

Xu Huaiyi said as a matter of course, "So, he can't be allowed to go up. Su Zhe still has to be the head of the family."

He didn't care whether the Su family would fail or not, but he couldn't watch Su Rui succeed. The two of them didn't get along, and if Su Rui came to power, it would definitely cause trouble for him.

"Su Zhe won't swallow this, right?"

"Well, no, he still has some blood in him. This time I really pissed him off, and he's determined to fight back even if both sides get hurt."

Gu Huanxi raised an eyebrow, "Both sides will suffer losses? What is he going to do?"

Xu Huaiyi deliberately kept the secret, "Guess?"

Gu Huanxi twisted his waist without any hesitation and asked, "Will you tell me or not?"

"Hiss, my wife, please show mercy, I'll tell you..." Xu Huaiyi begged for mercy and dodged in a pretentious manner, with a smile in his eyes.

Gu Huanxi snorted, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

After the couple finished their show, Xu Huaiyi said, "He plans to open the amusement park for free."

Gu Huanxi was stunned for a moment. "Is this cutting off the source of the trouble? This move can indeed make Su Rui fail, but his previous investment will also go down the drain. It will end up being a lose-lose situation..."

She paused, then said, "No, you certainly won't watch him suffer such a huge loss. You still have 20% of the profit. Tell me, what ideas do you have for him to remedy the situation?"

"Hehe, the one who knows me best is my wife."

"Don't give me that. Just tell me!"

Xu Huaiyi then explained his plans in detail, "What do you think? Is it feasible?"

Gu Huanxi nodded. Of course it was feasible. Didn’t all the comprehensive amusement parks in the previous life follow this route?

"What's the recipe for the snack?"

"Tomorrow, ask Su Zhe to select a few reliable people to learn from. Don't be coerced or bribed this time."

"That's a must, what else?"

"It is indeed possible to nourish the eyes and skin, but the recipes I used before were too simple and could be easily copied. I will look for a few more complicated ones in the book and ask Doctor Jiao to help take a look."

"Okay, and teach the maid the massage and beauty techniques. There are so many beauty treatments, just choose the most popular ones."

"Well, I'll think about it carefully tomorrow." After Gu Huanxi agreed, he reminded, "Since Su Rui can take action on the amusement park, he will definitely not let go of other industries. You should be prepared."

Xu Huaiyi said, "Don't worry, I know everything."

Seeing that he didn't care, Gu Huanxi was skeptical and asked, "Do you have a solution?"

"That's it."

"Why aren't you worried at all?"

"What is there to worry about? It's just competition. It's normal to have competition in business. Only with competition can there be progress. A single company dominating the market is not a long-term solution."

"Aren't you afraid that he might do something bad behind your back?"

"He doesn't dare. At most, he will challenge us and use some inferior means. But that will only ruin his own reputation."

"It's really annoying when a villain causes trouble."

"Haha, I specialize in dealing with villains."

"……Fine."

She was just worrying over nothing and forgot that this guy also had a lot of evil intentions. If Su Rui really played dirty with him, he would do the same.

The next day, when Su Zhe woke up after a good night's sleep, it was already daybreak outside. He rubbed his brows and vaguely heard some noise. He called the servant in and asked, "What's that noise outside?"

The servant replied respectfully, "Master Xu is training with several young masters from the mansion, and there is also a group of guards."

Su Zhe was stunned for a moment, "When did they get up?"

The servant said, "Yin time."

Su Zhe suddenly sighed with mixed feelings, "As expected of Huaiyi, with such a self-disciplined character, no wonder..."

He didn't say the rest. He let out a breath, got dressed, washed up, and went to the sports field, fanning himself.

At this moment, Xu Huaiyi and the others had finished running and were practicing boxing in the martial arts field. Several children followed him to practice, and the guards were brandishing their own weapons to fight each other. The noise of shouting and yelling sounded very exciting.

Among a group of men, there was a pretty little girl wearing a red training suit, waving her little arms and legs. Her movements were not powerful at all, but her expression was extremely serious. She looked really adorable.

Xu Huaiyi had a fatherly smile on his face. He squatted beside him, gave instructions from time to time, and never stopped praising him.

"My daughter is amazing!"

“This move was simply brilliant!”

"Ali, are you tired? Do you want to take a break before practicing again?"

"Oh, look at how sweaty you are. Let's not practice anymore. You are still young. Don't worry. You will definitely become a peerless master in the future. Listen to your father. More haste makes waste. If you tire yourself out too much, you won't grow taller..."

Ah Li fluttered his big eyes and protested in a baby voice, "Dad, I just practiced for a while, why are you so tired?"

Xu Huaiyi wiped her sweat with concern and fed her some mung bean soup. "Why aren't you tired? Look at how you're panting. Your breathing is uneven."

Ah Li took a few sips from the cup and sighed like a little adult, "Dad, my brothers are panting too, they don't even complain about being tired."

“They’re older…”

"I'm two years old, no, I'm three years old, I'm a big kid..."

According to the current way of counting age, Ah Li is really three years old, but Xu Huaiyi firmly denied it, "How can you be three years old? You are clearly just a little over one year old."

Ah Li puffed up his red face and said, "It's not one year old, it's three years old. Daddy is wrong."

"How could Daddy be wrong..."

"Then let's go ask the gentleman?"

Xu Huaiyi was suddenly speechless.

Ah Li smiled slyly.

Xu Huaiyi pinched her chubby face curiously, like kneading jelly, "You clever little devil, you only know how to poke Daddy's soft spot."

"Hehe, Daddy, if you study more, you won't be afraid of the teacher testing you."

"..."

He would rather stay away from Mr. Jiang because studying is too boring and tiring.

Only after seeing Su Zhe coming from afar did Xu Huaiyi let his daughter go. Before leaving, he told her to just gesture a few times and not to get tired, and asked Gu Xiaoyu to supervise her.

Gu Xiaoyu agreed. In fact, he didn't want to see his sister suffer. With his father and him at home, they would protect his sister and ensure her a safe and happy life. Why did she need to learn martial arts for self-defense?

"A Li..."

He was interrupted just as he opened his mouth to persuade her. Ah Li said seriously, "Brother, you can't learn from Daddy."

Gu Xiaoyu was puzzled, "Huh?"

Ah Li sighed, "Learn how daddy dotes on me."

Gu Xiaoyu, "..."

"Brother, the teacher said that spoiling a child is like killing him."

Gu Xiaoyu's mouth twitched, and he was even more speechless. He raised his hand and touched the two small tufts of hair on her head, and said indulgently, "Then brother will listen to you."

Hearing this, Ah Li immediately smiled, like a flower blooming in the morning sun, and clapped her hands, "That's right."

After saying that, she thought of something, moved closer to him, and whispered, "But don't be as strict as mother."

Gu Xiaoyu was amused by these words and laughed out loud. In an instant, it was as if the ice and snow melted. That delicate face, which was usually cold and distant, now was like spring flowers blooming. At such a young age, he had the capital to flirt with girls.

Ah Li was stunned and couldn't help but murmur, "Brother is so handsome..."

When Gu Xiaoyu heard this, his ears turned red. He never paid much attention to his appearance, but at this moment he was very happy. "Is she really beautiful?"

As if afraid that he wouldn't believe it, Ah Li nodded vigorously, "It's very, very beautiful."

Gu Xiaoyu raised the corners of his mouth high, and pinched her little hair lovingly, "Well, brother knows, Ah Li is also pretty, the prettiest."

Hearing this, Ah Li's eyes lit up like the sun. He shook his hand and asked repeatedly, "Really? Really?"

Gu Xiaoyu also nodded vigorously, "Yes, brother will not lie to A Li, A Li is the most beautiful girl in the world."

Ah Li immediately smiled.

Gu Xiaoyu felt like his heart was melting. She was indeed his sister. She was so adorable.

Fortunately, Xu Huaiyi was walking with Su Zhe along the track and had walked far away, so he didn't see this scene, otherwise he would have been very jealous. You know, except for him, he would be jealous of other men, no matter young or old, if Ah Li was a little close to them. The old father's position was so unshakable.

"Huaiyi, do you train with them every day?"

"Well, unless the weather is really bad, we can do boxing indoors instead."

"Don't we have guards? Xiaoyu also has a master to practice with. Why does he need you to do everything yourself?"

"By the way, it's not tiring anyway."

Su Zhe admired him and said, "I can't do that. If no one forces me, I will just work for three days and rest for two days."

Xu Huaiyi said casually, "I was forced to do this. Otherwise, who would want to work so hard every day? Wouldn't it be nice to sleep in?"

"Who forced you to do that? Master Sun or Mr. Jiang?"

Xu Huaiyi shook his head, pretending to be mysterious, "Neither, it's just that the situation is pressing."

Su Zhe was stunned when he heard this.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "My starting point is too low. If I don't force myself to work harder, when will I be able to make it? If I don't make it, how can I protect my wife and children? If I were born in a noble family, no one would dare to bully me when I go out. How can I have this kind of ambition? So, it's all because of the situation."

Su Zhe said in a complicated tone, "I am far inferior to you..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted, "Why are you still belittling yourself? How are you inferior to me? You are taller than me, richer than me, and even more handsome than me."

Su Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. "What's the use of this? I mean..."

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand, "There's no need to compare our futures. We both pursue different things. There's nothing to compare. I want power, you want the Su family, these are both goals we're working towards, there's no difference between high and low. As for other things, you don't have to get stuck on them. I'm self-disciplined and diligent in martial arts, and you work hard in business. I'm far from being comparable. What did I say?"

Su Zhe was speechless for a while, then bowed seriously, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

Xu Huaiyi chuckled, "I really should let Mr. Jiang hear this, so that he won't always scold me for not reading enough."

Su Zhe laughed and teased back, "If there's a chance, I'll definitely help you pass on this message."

"Haha, I won't be polite then. Remember to praise me more when the time comes. I have quite a bit of knowledge."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

The two of them were strolling leisurely, and Xu Huaiyi told him the arrangements he had discussed with his wife last night.

Su Zhe gratefully agreed and hurriedly ordered the servant to select a few reliable people to come to the Gu family to learn cooking. Everyone must sign a death contract, and if there is betrayal, there is only death.

Xu Huaiyi also reminded him, "What Su Rui did was really dishonest and seriously violated the rules of the business community. You are the president of the Chamber of Commerce. In the Su family, you two are brothers and cannot fall out with each other. But in the Chamber of Commerce, you have the absolute right to deal with it."

Su Zhe's eyes lit up, and he was also a little worried, "Do you think they will support me?"

Xu Huaiyi said meaningfully, "Why not? If you condone this kind of thing, and they get their homes stolen in the future, will they still have the nerve to come to you to reason? After all, who doesn't have a few brothers fighting for the family property?"

Su Zhe suddenly had an epiphany.
