"Do you have a way to get their services?" Yang Qing asked after some thought. For Fan Mei to suggest using them implied she likely had a method to get them on board.
"Yes, I do. One of their vice leaders owes me a favor," Fan Mei replied, confirming Yang Qing's suspicions.
"A favor, huh?" Yang Qing said meaningfully, flashing a teasing smile.
"Not what you're thinking." Fan Mei snorted before letting out a sigh. She continued,
"I've done a few appraisals for them at a discount and referred them for a fair number of commissions, among other things. So yes, they owe me a favor."
"And if you dare throw in another snarky comment, I might just raise the payout—or limit how much I'm willing to do on the trade-offs..." Fan Mei said slowly, flashing a menacing smile.
"You wouldn't do that, would you?" Yang Qing asked warily. "You'd be losing out on the commission yourself too," he added, narrowing his eyes to see if Fan Mei might be bluffing.
