"Yes, time's up, we were just leaving," Pei Sufen added.
"I'm really sorry, I..."
"Zhiqian, I know you're busy, don't worry about it, work is important." Pei Sufen pointed at the elevator, "Here's the elevator again, let's go down."
"Alright..." Ning Zhiqian stepped aside, letting Pei Sufen go first.
