Chapter 336 -68 Assisting Your Cultivation
A group of people quietly waited outside the main gate of the Zhang Mansion.
After waiting for a dozen minutes, a car drove down the street leading to the Zhang Mansion.
“It’s the car of the Inspection General Office.”
Several Zhang family members on the scene recognized the symbol on the car’s license plate representing the Inspection General Office.
The car stopped a dozen meters away, and a man dressed in the official uniform of the Inspection General Office came towards Li Fei, holding a document bag in his hands.
“It’s a Fifth Level Inspector!”
People from the Zhang side recognized the man’s official rank by the symbol on his uniform.
A Fifth Level Inspector of the Inspection General Office was a rank 10 official.
The Green-faced Ghost King had actually sent an assigned official to personally deliver things for him!
This scene caused a stir among the Zhang family members, who truly felt the status that the Green-faced Ghost King now held in Datong Prefecture.
“Ghost King, here is what you requested.”
The arriving Fifth Level Inspector handed the document bag to Li Fei with both hands.
“Thank you.”
Li Fei took the document bag and nodded his head.
Then the man turned crisply and left.
Having received the document bag, Li Fei then looked to Zhang Zezheng:
“Let’s go, we can enter now.”
“Ah, okay!”
Zhang Zezheng quickly nodded in agreement, then stepped aside to make way, gesturing for Li Fei to please enter.
Li Fei led the way into the Zhang Mansion’s main gate, with everyone else closely following behind.
At this moment, he appeared to be the head of the Zhang family.
Moments later, everyone was seated in the hall.
Shangguan Xiao sat next to Li Fei, with Zhang Zedong and the other main decision-makers of the Zhang family sitting across from them.
“Our Zhang family was able to weather the crisis this time, thanks to the help of the Ghost King.”
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Zongming couldn’t wait to stand up and speak on behalf of the Zhang family:
“On behalf of the Zhang family, I express our gratitude to the Ghost King!”
After saying this, he bowed to Li Fei with the courtesy typical of the Jianghu people.
By stepping forward to represent the Zhang family, it seemed that he was the main decision-maker of the Zhang family now.
But since he had already spoken, the other Zhang family members had no choice but to stand up as well.
Therefore, everyone rose to their feet and bowed to Li Fei, who was seated.
Li Fei raised his hand: “Please, take your seats.”
“If you wish to express thanks, then let’s be more practical about it.”
He spoke only after everyone had sat down again.
“Of course, the Ghost King can make any request!”
This time Zhang Zedong didn’t give Zhang Zongming a chance and quickly spoke up first.
Li Fei didn’t beat around the bush and pointing to Shangguan Xiao at his side, he said:
“Firstly, from now on, the Zhang family must fully support Elder Shangguan’s rise in the official ranks. Within ten years, let her become the new Helmsman of the Zhi Ge General Hospital in Datong Prefecture.”
He addressed Shangguan Xiao as an elder, which surprised the Zhang family members, who had been speculating about the relationship between the two.
Could it be that this Green-faced Ghost King was actually much younger than they had anticipated?
The Zhang family members, including Zhang Zongming, showed difficulty accepting Li Fei’s first condition, exchanging looks of consternation.
The Zhang family had nearly a century of accumulated connections and resources in the courtyards of Datong Prefecture.
Now that they had overcome their crisis, those connections could potentially be rekindled. If they deployed the entire family’s strength to vigorously support one person, this person could indeed have a smooth official career at least within the Zhi Ge system.
However, the Helmsman of the Zhi Ge General Hospital was a Fourth Rank Sitting Official, and in the officialdom, for each position, there was only one candidate. Whether they could secure such a position was uncertain to begin with, let alone that the Zhang family would have to concentrate all their resources on one individual.
To focus the entire family to support someone who didn’t even share the Zhang surname was too hard for Zhang Zongming and the others to accept.
“Ghost King, the Helmsman of the Zhi Ge General Hospital is a Fourth Rank official. For such a position, even for our Zhang family, it’s not simply a matter of wanting to elevate someone and being able to do so.”
Zhang Zongming cautiously addressed Li Fei.
Li Fei spoke calmly: “I know; what I want is an attitude, the full support of the Zhang family.”
“I agree!”
Zhang Zedong was the first to stand up and express his approval.
This made Zhang Zongming grind his teeth in frustration.
Shangguan Xiao was after all from the main branch of the family; it was natural for Zhang Zedong not to object.
“I agree as well.”
The head of the third branch, Zhang Zongyuan, also spoke.
With this, Zhang Zongming had no choice but to agree even if he didn’t want to.
He sighed: “Fine, I agree.”
Although the Zhang family had passed the crisis, without the support of the Green-faced Ghost King, they would still be vulnerable.
Thus, no matter how harsh the conditions, they could only agree first.
Shangguan Xiao felt somewhat emotional upon hearing this.
It would have been absolutely impossible for the entire family to support her when Zhang Zongyang was in charge.
Now that Zhang Zongyang was gone, the Zhang family was indeed capable of doing so.
“Secondly, from now on, the Zhang family and Qingyuan City Management Company will form an alliance, cooperating in various aspects of business.”
Li Fei continued.

“This is definitely not a problem!”
Zhang Zongming quickly agreed and also breathed a sigh of relief.
Cooperating with Qingyuan City Management Company would be beneficial to the Zhang family, especially now that Qingyuan City Management Company had taken over the ‘Beast King’s’ forces. There might be a chance for the Zhang family to get involved in the Exotic Beast Food business.
Only then would the Zhang family truly have the capital to secure their position and livelihood!
“Ghost King, about the Exotic Beast Food business, could we also…?”
Zhang Zongming tentatively looked at Li Fei.
“The Exotic Beast Food business can also be done with the Zhang family.”
Li Fei casually uttered the words that could almost decide the fate of the Zhang family.
“Really?!”
Zhang Zedong’s face reddened with excitement.
Then he immediately realized he was overreacting and hurriedly explained:
