Hearing Ruan Qi's words, Hou Ming and Yu Gang exchanged a knowing glance.
She's just a little girl after all, hooked so quickly.
Hou Ming gave Yu Gang a look.
Yu Gang's eyes flickered, his gaze wandering over Ruan Qi's beautiful face for a moment before he sighed as if troubled.
"I'd also like to help Miss Ruan get it done quickly, but the rules are there, and it's not very straightforward to handle."
Not very straightforward to handle.
Meaning the matter is quite difficult to deal with, but not entirely impossible.
Ruan Qi heard the implied message in Yu Gang's words, her laugh ambiguous.
She looked at him eagerly, her voice sweet and soft, "Uncle Xu, is there really no way at all? Can't you help me out?"
The way the young lady called out 'Uncle' made Yu Gang's mouth go dry.
He awkwardly took a sip of tea and cleared his throat.
"A way... there might be one. Although this month's approval quota is full, we could potentially squeeze in an expedited application."
