Qiu Tu paused, then said in a softer tone, "And... to put it bluntly."

"The reason I collaborate with you is not only because of our relationship but also because I value the 'Fengtian Faction's' background and strength."

"If you make things too ugly with your own family, or even come to a break, then our future deals will be very difficult to continue."

At this point, Qiu Tu brought the conversation back on track. He leaned back in his chair and then said, with a strategic flair, "Moreover... helping you secure the position of Deputy Speaker doesn't conflict with our deal at all."

He continued, "You are a nominal Deputy Speaker. You weren't given any scope of work, so you have no right to intervene in any affairs of the state."
