With almost everything settled in this first meeting with Zhang Xi, the focus now has to shift toward implementation, the practical execution of everything we agreed on earlier. Those details I didn't share with her. I'd rather keep it that way until she truly becomes part of our group, once the deal with the leader of the Silver Fangs is closed.
"So, Zhang Xi, could you contact your leader as soon as possible? Our time is tight."
Her face visibly shows something close to confusion at my words. Probably because of how quickly I want to set the whole plan in motion.
"I could… do it now… You see… I'm the spokesperson, so I sort of have him in my Party group." She says it hesitantly, her eyes searching my expression for any crack in my reasoning.
This is more perfect than I anticipated.
"It would be perfect if you could." I try to soften my tone, keeping my voice as dry and flat as possible, stripping out any trace of excitement.
