Sister Su had not worked with me for so many years in vain—she grasped what I meant as soon as I subtly hinted at it.

She arched her eyebrows and flashed a smile at me, "Leave this task to me, but that alone won't be enough; we still need to figure out how to quell the fury of those elite ladies."
"If we can devise a plan to unite these elite ladies with us against a common enemy, it would force Mrs. Shen to tread lightly. Even if she wanted to stir up trouble, Shen Hetai wouldn't allow it,"
I carefully pondered Sister Su's words. It was indeed a safe approach, but if those elite ladies got wind of this news, they would likely immediately sever ties with me, and why would they secretly side with us then?
"It seems to solve this problem, I must visit Mrs. Chu."
