Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce headquarters, conference room.
The guild elders of the Azure Blue Chamber of Commerce, who rarely managed to gather in full, had assembled in the resplendent top-floor conference room. Every one of them wore an impatient expression.

"Fine. With eighty percent of the elders present, it's enough to make a decision," Pang Xianglong said,
