Chatting and negotiating are labor-intensive tasks; set aside the long-winded, complex pleasantries, for the core of it boils down to just a few points.
For Qi Tongwei, there were only three questions for Lv Ao'er:
First, what are you doing here?
Second, what do you want?
Third, what can you give me?
The three points were very simple, and Lv Ao'er answered each one:
First, I am here to invest and develop in Dongshan County, and I am openly declaring my allegiance to the You-Liang Faction.
Second, I want to gain the protection of the You-Liang Faction, or your protection, Qi Tongwei, as I do not wish for us to be targeted and suppressed any longer.
Third, the Lv Family will show our sincerity and offer our loyalty. We can also promise not to expand our Jingzhou industries for the next five years and will withdraw from the Jingzhou Chamber of Commerce.
