The speed is very fast, it can be done in just one month, and the quality of the article is not required to be high, it will be below 3.0 next year.

Shannon Zhang has extremely high editing efficiency and communicates very promptly. However, this is also the first time I have learned that some permission documents need to be supplemented, which I have not encountered before.
