Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 619: The Janitor Ghost Elder

After Xu Ke spoke, Zhou Qingzhi nodded without any hesitation. "I believe you!"

"Since that's the case, I won't be coy and refuse. I'll sign the contract with you right away. After deducting costs, we'll split the profits eighty-twenty. What do you think?"

Xu Ke was shocked and quickly said, "That's too much. Fifty-fifty is fine."

"No, don't forget, costs have already been deducted. We're making a killing on our end, so you don't need to worry about us." Zhou Qingzhi waved his hand, silencing Xu Ke, who was about to protest again.

Seeing this, Xu Ke could only say with a sigh, "Alright then."

Tang Yingchang watched this, somewhat speechless. Why does Xu Ke always look so distraught when he receives something?

At this moment, Zhou Qingzhi sighed. "I was just thinking about this huge favor I owe you and how I could possibly repay it, and now you've brought me a prescription out of the blue?"

This came from the bottom of Zhou Qingzhi's heart. Xu Ke had saved his father, and they hadn't even had the chance to properly thank him. Their attempt to gift him Yihe Pharmaceuticals had been forcibly converted into a block of shares, and the auction invitation they'd given him had nearly gotten him killed.

They were still deeply in Xu Ke's debt, yet here he was again, presenting a prescription that would be a goldmine for the Zhou Family.

It was enough to leave Zhou Qingzhi reeling.

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhi. The prescription isn't a gift. I have a job for you," Xu Ke said with a smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingzhi's eyes lit up with excitement. "What is it?"

This scene made Tang Yingchang even more speechless. This is even worse. It's the first time I've ever seen someone get so happy about being given work to do.

"In a couple of days, Old Hua will likely apply for the position of Law Enforcement Hall Chief," Xu Ke said thoughtfully. "When that time comes, the Zhou Family will need to cast a vote for him."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingzhi was stunned. "Chief Hua is coming out of retirement?"

"Yes."

"No problem at all. Leave it to me!" Zhou Qingzhi made the promise immediately without asking why, then added, "Is there anything else? Otherwise, I won't feel right accepting this prescription."

"After all, when it comes to the vote, I would have agreed to support him even if you hadn't given me this."

Although Zhou Hongsheng was still the Family Head, he was the one representing the Zhou Family at the Martial Alliance meetings now, so he agreed without hesitation.

Xu Ke laughed. "Of course. There's one more thing."

"What is it?"

"For this Xiongfeng Pill, I want Yihe Pharmaceuticals to be the sole initial distributor. Anyone who wants to sell it can only purchase it through Yihe Pharmaceuticals," Xu Ke said with a slight smile.

Hearing this, Zhou Qingzhi was stunned. He couldn't help but lower his voice. "Is that really necessary?"

Xu Ke's words meant that Yihe Pharmaceuticals would be taking a gargantuan share of the profits.

If Xu Ke had complete control of the company, Zhou Qingzhi wouldn't mind. But he knew perfectly well that Zhou Qingyong was still entrenched at Yihe Pharmaceuticals, and all the shareholders, big and small, were eagerly looking for a way to oust Xu Ke.

If Xu Ke handed over the distribution rights for the Xiongfeng Pill to Yihe Pharmaceuticals, he would essentially be lining the pockets of Zhou Qingyong and the other shareholders who considered him a thorn in their side.

"Don't overthink it. Just give it to them. Don't worry," Xu Ke said with a smile.

Seeing that Xu Ke was still insistent, Zhou Qingzhi frowned slightly but chose not to argue any further. "Alright!"

"However, regarding the contract, I need to clarify some details with you. I have conditions," Xu Ke said.

Zhou Qingzhi nodded. "That's certainly no problem. You name them. I'll have the legal department come over immediately. You can add as many clauses as you want."

"Good."

「...」

While Xu Ke was signing the contract at the Zhou Family's residence, Manager Qian arrived at Zhou Fan's office.

"How did it go?"

When Zhou Fan saw Manager Qian enter, his face ashen, he couldn't help but frown, his heart sinking. Could it be that Xu Ke saw through our plan?

"Young Master Fan, things went smoothly. Xu Ke signed for it," Manager Qian said.

Hearing this, Zhou Fan was overjoyed. "Really?"

The corners of his mouth lifted in a triumphant smirk.

Xu Ke, oh, Xu Ke! I knew you'd fall for it! Now, just you wait for your death! My father's and my plan to kill two birds with one stone is sure to succeed.

"Really! But..." Manager Qian hesitated.

"But what?" Zhou Fan frowned. "Don't mumble. Spit it out."

"Yes," Manager Qian said hastily, his face mournful. "Xu Ke ordered ten more identical sets of herbs and even paid a deposit of 500,000 yuan on the spot!"

At this, Zhou Fan could no longer remain calm. He shot up from his chair and exclaimed, "What did you say?"

Manager Qian was on the verge of tears. "He also said that if I don't deliver herbs of the same quality on time, he will hold us responsible. I told him I would do my best to gather them within half a month."

At this moment, Zhou Fan's entire face turned green, his expression as ugly as if he had just eaten shit. "That guy is too damn greedy!"

Manager Qian felt his heart bleeding, and Zhou Fan's was bleeding, too.

Each batch of herbs represented a loss of 600,000 yuan. Ten batches meant six million!

Even though he knew this trap would ultimately net him Xu Ke's valuable thirty-percent stake in the company, a loss of six million was no small sum!

"Young Master Fan, what should we do?" Manager Qian asked, trembling with fear. He was afraid Zhou Fan would vent his anger on him.

Zhou Fan wasn't foolish enough to punish his trusted aide. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said through gritted teeth, "Get them for him. I can afford it."

"But the warehouse is out of stock. We'll have to check every other warehouse in the city..."

"Then check! Go on, hurry up," Zhou Fan said irritably.

"Yes!"

Receiving his orders, Manager Qian felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly left.

After Manager Qian departed, Zhou Fan rushed to Zhou Qingyong's office and reported everything that had happened.

Once he finished, Zhou Qingyong's face turned livid. Seething with rage, he slammed his fist on the table and roared, "That bastard! That damn mongrel! Does he think our money grows on trees?"

"The guy really deserves to die," Zhou Fan cursed.

But after venting, Zhou Qingyong took a deep breath, and a grim smile spread across his face. "Fine. No problem. You and Little Qian did very well. He wants herbs? Then we'll give him herbs! He will pay the price for his greed sooner or later."

Hearing this, Zhou Fan finally felt much better and nodded. "Exactly."

He's throwing away a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed. Only a shortsighted fool like him would do something so stupid.

"Don't worry, take it slow. Yihe Pharmaceuticals will soon belong entirely to us, father and son. Hahaha..." Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyong finally burst into hearty, relieved laughter.

「...」

After signing the contract with Zhou Qingzhi, Xu Ke left with Tang Yingchang.

As they were leaving, Xu Ke emphasized, "Don't tell Zhou Qingyong that the prescription was from me, understand?"

"Understood, understood." Zhou Qingzhi nodded, a look of understanding on his face. "You can count on me. I'll even come up with a reasonable excuse so he thinks Yihe Pharmaceuticals got this incredible deal without any scheming on your part."

By now, Zhou Qingzhi understood that Xu Ke was likely teaching Zhou Qingyong a lesson, which was why he had gone about it in such a roundabout way.

But he didn't care.

Compared to Zhou Qingyong, for whom he no longer felt any brotherly affection and who frequently schemed against him, Zhou Qingzhi was more than happy to help Xu Ke.

Xu Ke couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, Uncle Zhi, I'll be leaving then."

"Alright, take care."

Zhou Qingzhi turned and closed the door.

After Xu Ke got into the car, Tang Yingchang asked for their destination.

Xu Ke pondered for a moment before saying, "First, let's go pick up Ghost Elder. Yuk Dalong has already arranged a new identity for him. I'm going to have him work at Tianhai University as a janitor." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Him? A janitor?"

At this, Tang Yingchang was flabbergasted, his eyes wide. "Will he agree to that?"

A renowned assassin working as a janitor? If it were Tang Yingchang, he definitely wouldn't agree. It was such a waste!

Xu Ke spread his hands. "I have no choice. I don't want Hua Ziyao to know someone is protecting her, nor do I want her getting involved in all this turmoil. Ghost Elder will have to be the man who silently protects her. A janitor is the most flexible and convenient disguise."
