As the clock struck 7 pm in the bustling office, the day's tasks weighed heavily on the shoulders of the dedicated employees. Zhang Mei, aware of her responsibilities at home, decided it was time to call it a day. Gathering her belongings, she approached Xu Zhonhao, her colleagues Tang Ziyi and others still engrossed in their work.
"You guys can continue here; I'll catch a cab," Zhang Mei informed Xu Zhonhao, her tone carrying a mix of consideration and determination.
Tang Ziyi chimed in, "It's okay, Sister Mei. We can leave together."
Zhang Mei, understanding their offer but firm in her decision, responded, "I can tell you guys are still busy, so you can continue with your work."
Xu Zhonhao, appreciating her dedication, added, "It will take us an hour to finish here."
