Lin Qiaoxia was somewhat perplexed.

"Respect fee?" Lin Qiaoxia didn't initially understand the meaning of respect fee, but she was not foolish and quickly realized that it meant giving some benefits to the official in charge of the related department. She frowned and said, "Why should we pay a bribe? Our procedures are all in order, and the quality is compliant, so why won't they approve it without a bribe?"
