He would make his debut for the club in a league game on 14 May 2013, against Qingdao Jonoon F.C. in a 3-0 victory. Despite this victory Zhao struggled to gain a regular place within the team and he was loaned out to another Super League team in Changchun Yatai. At Changchun, Zhao would make his debut in a league game on 31 July 2013 against Qingdao Jonoon F.C. in a 1-1 draw. In his loan period Zhao would immediately establish himself as an integral member of the team that avoided relegation at the end of the season. On his return from his loan, Zhao would go on to establish himself within the Shandong team and go on to win the 2014 Chinese FA Cup with them.

Zhao Mingjian broke into the senior team Dalian Shide F.C. at the beginning of the 2005 Chinese Super League season after graduating from their youth team. He would make his debut senior appearance for Dalian on the 22nd of May 2005 against Shanghai Shenhua in a 2–1 defeat. As a promising midfielder Zhao Mingjian would play in several further games during the season and go on to win the league title and Chinese FA Cup with Dalian at the end of the league season. The following seasons he would gradually establish himself as a squad regular within the team, however it was during the 2008 Chinese Super League season when Zhao confirmed himself as a vital member within the club by playing in the majority of the season and also scoring his first league goal against Changchun Yatai on November 9, 2008 in a 3–2 defeat. He became one of the few constants within the team that went through a transitional period where several managers and many youth players came in during a very disappointing season which saw the team flirt with relegation. The following season saw him continue his role as the team's first choice right-midfielder and with a young squad saw the team finish in a more respectable eighth within the league. At the end of the 2012 Chinese Super League season Dalian Shide was sold off to rival football club Dalian Aerbin F.C. after the club's owner Xu Ming was arrested for bribery.
