"First, let's resolve the issue with Grist Group's problematic beverage," Zuko stated.
The suggestion took aback Fred.
"The 'Rose Dew' beverage, your renowned product. You repackaged it and relaunched it, and you think there won't be any problems?" Zuko questioned.
"Ah, no, no." Fred smiled wryly. "To be honest, I didn't agree with this beverage being sold in the market in the first place. But I couldn't do anything about it. My men on the board of directors didn't have the majority, so I had to let them have their way."

"Yes, understood!" Fred agreed, realizing the importance of respecting privacy.
"But I need you to use this system to investigate someone for me," Zuko added.
Fred looked up, confused, as Zuko uttered the name clearly from his lips, "Gia Chapman!"
