"You also need to cultivate your own subordinates," Li Haiyang continued, "You can't accomplish anything fighting alone. You're still alone now, and the people around you are all arranged by your mom or dad. While you can use their people with confidence, they aren't people you've trained yourself, so it won't be as smooth when you use them."

Unexpectedly, Li Haiyang also talked about this matter, which took Luo Ziling by surprise.

"Several people have already mentioned this to me, but I don't know where to find people," Luo Ziling replied with a wry smile.

"Just let it happen naturally," Li Haiyang smiled, "Remember one thing: only those who have gone through life and death experiences with you can be trusted, at least to a certain extent."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Luo Ziling very much agreed with this point raised by Li Haiyang.

Just like Lin Lan, the two had gone through life and death together, and he had saved his life several times, so he trusted Lin Lan greatly.

As for others, he didn't dare to fully trust them, not even Luo Yuqing.

"Someday, when Lin Lan retires, she can help you," Li Haiyang mentioned Lin Lan, "However, it's not suitable for her to retire now. When she wants to retire later, she can go out and help you. At least for the next two years, being at Dragon Rise is more useful than going out to help you."

Luo Ziling agreed with Li Haiyang's view, "If she wants to stay here, let her stay here, unless she can't handle the work at Dragon Rise."

"Regarding the Yang Family, I also want to talk to you a bit," Li Haiyang seemed like he hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time, so once he started, he didn't want to stop. "Actually, every family's situation is more or less the same, everyone wants to strive for the greatest benefits, and Yang Yunlin and Yang Yuanshan are no different. Yang Yunlin's abilities have never matched up to the late Yang Yunfeng; even in their younger days, their performances were quite different. Yang Yuanshan's abilities are quite average too. Yang Yunlin is dissatisfied with his father's low regard for him, so he continually tries to prove himself, often making mistakes as a result."

"Yang Yuanshan hasn't considered handing over the Yang family's grand enterprise to his son yet, so there are often conflicts between father and son, but they haven't come to light. Perhaps you've already realized this, and if you have, make good use of it."

"What you analyzed makes a lot of sense, senior. I've learned something today, and I'll definitely ponder this when I get back." Although he already understood these things, Luo Ziling was still very grateful for Li Haiyang's earnest explanation.

"The Chen Family is plotting against you guys, that's undoubtedly true. But in the next one or two months, they won't make a move. They are low-key and patient, so don't ignore them. Anyway, you won't idle around, so taking some initiative is not a bad idea." At this point, Li Haiyang revealed a somewhat playful smile.

Li Haiyang's words struck a chord with Luo Ziling, who immediately nodded, indicating he would consider these matters.

Li Haiyang didn't mention the Fang Family, which made Luo Ziling a little curious, but he eventually didn't ask.

After some more casual conversation, it was time for dinner.

Lin Lan instructed people to serve the meal, while Phoenix and Lin Lan came over to accompany them.

Having not seen Phoenix for several days, Luo Ziling was surprised to find that she seemed more haggard than before, and couldn't help but ask, "Captain, what's up? You seem to have aged quite a bit."

Phoenix gave Luo Ziling a cold glare and snapped, "What's it to you?"

Women hate being told they've aged, and Phoenix, being a woman, was naturally upset when Luo Ziling said this in front of others.

"I'm just concerned about you and willing to help, yet you don't appreciate it?" Luo Ziling teased Phoenix, "With me, the Contemporary Divine Doctor, here, whether it's a physical issue or something else, I can help you solve any problems."

Lin Lan tugged on Luo Ziling's arm and whispered, "The captain didn't sleep last night and didn't rest today, so of course, she doesn't look well."

"It's not just because she didn't sleep last night and didn't rest today, there might be other reasons," Luo Ziling smiled at Lin Lan and then solemnly said to Phoenix, "Why don't I check you later to see if there's another cause? We haven't finished the treatment I promised you last time."

Phoenix neither agreed nor refused.

Li Haiyang ignored their conversation and continued exercising to himself.

As the weather warmed, Li Haiyang's limb mobility improved, but it hadn't returned to the normal level.

He's eager to get back to that level, so he's been training frequently these days.

Luo Ziling hadn't treated him for a long time, affecting his recovery speed.

But he also knew that Luo Ziling couldn't treat him now and could only rely on Luo Liansheng.

Seeing Li Haiyang exercising, Luo Ziling immediately said, "My grandpa said he would come over to check on you someday, he's preparing some new medicine for you which should significantly aid your recovery."

"Thank your grandpa in advance for me!" Li Haiyang laughed heartily and replied, "Maybe it's because of my age, that improving beyond this point is getting difficult."

"That's a normal phenomenon; trying to recover to your youthful state certainly isn't easy," Luo Ziling said helplessly, "I'll help with a few more treatments once I'm recovered, should help you recover better."

"Let's talk when your health fully recovers first!"

After Lin Lan and Phoenix prepared the tableware, Li Haiyang also sat down to eat.

"A little wine, is it okay?" Li Haiyang looked at Luo Ziling, giving a meaningful look.

Luo Ziling knew Li Haiyang was worried Phoenix and Lin Lan might stop them, so he immediately smiled and said, "A little bit is good for health."

Thus, Li Haiyang poured himself a cup of yellow wine and filled it generously.

Luo Ziling took the wine jar and poured himself a cup as well, while Lin Lan and Phoenix refused to drink.

"Senior, I toast to you, thank you for your help and advice," Luo Ziling raised his glass to Li Haiyang.

Li Haiyang raised his glass and clinked with Luo Ziling's, then downed most of it in one go.

After drinking half a glass, Li Haiyang picked up his chopsticks but didn't pick up any dishes. Instead, he pointed at Luo Ziling, "In fact, you should all learn more from Ziling. In the future, cooperate with him more, as his help to our Dragon Rise is significant, and he will continue to help us."

Li Haiyang's words left Luo Ziling a bit puzzled, not understanding what he meant.

Phoenix and Lin Lan were also confused.

It wasn't until Li Haiyang said a few more words that they finally understood.

"In the future, when Dragon Rise members are on missions, they will often need Ziling's help, and Ziling will need your help. Therefore, you must cooperate more. Tight cooperation is beneficial to Dragon Rise and Ziling personally. However, you must separate public and private interests and not get caught. Understand?"

"Understood!" Luo Ziling was the first to agree.

Li Haiyang's underlying message was this: Dragon Rise people can help him, but keep it under wraps; he can also intervene in Dragon Rise affairs under the pretense of helping Dragon Rise, just don't get caught.
