After sending away Madam Liu, Liu Rushi recommended someone to Bai Qingyan: "If I, a humble subject, were to fall, regarding this negotiation, I would like to recommend two people to Your Majesty.

"No 'if only', just speak freely!" Bai Qingyan waved her hand, signaling Liu Rushi to sit. She never liked her trusted ministers speaking with her in circles; being straightforward was more effective for handling matters.
"One of them is Fan Yugan..." Liu Rushi seemed worried that Bai Qingyan might hold a grudge against Fan Yugan because of his father, Fan Yuhuai, so he hurriedly continued, "Although Fan Yugan was once a playboy, it is perhaps precisely because of this past that he excels at making trouble out of nothing; he can argue illogically and still leave others unable to find fault. This is indeed a rare skill!"
