Who are you planning on using?

Yang Qing ironed out a few more details with Fan Mei, watching as his plans evolved from abstract thoughts into something more tangible.

Once he was satisfied that he had laid a sufficient foundation for the preliminary phase, he moved on to the crux of the matter. His nerves got the better of him, and his insides churned slightly while his throat grew dry.

"So… how much will it cost?" Yang Qing asked hesitantly, his voice almost a whisper.

Fan Mei couldn't help but chuckle softly at his apprehensive expression. But she quickly composed herself, her demeanor reverting to its usual professional poise.

"That depends on how quickly you want results and the groups we'll need to contract. Expediency and efficiency don't come cheap," she explained.

"How much?" Yang Qing pressed again, his tone carrying a slight tremble.

"Between 45,000 and 60,000 should be enough to cover it," Fan Mei replied after doing a quick mental calculation.
