Dawei: I was stuck in traffic for a quarter of an hour, and after I picked up the person, I was stuck in traffic for another half an hour before I came out.
Today I arrived at the bank at five minutes past eight, just in time for the morning meeting, so I wasn't late. At the meeting, colleague Dawei said that he had worked in another bank for five years. At that time, he was particularly interested in finance. He arrived at work at 7:30 every day and was never late.

During the lunch break, everyone was talking about Manager Li and Accountant Zhang getting married. We chatted for more than half an hour, and everyone sent their blessings. I took leave in the afternoon to pick up a client at the airport. There was a traffic jam on the road, so I waited at the exit for a quarter of an hour before picking up the customer. The client was very interested in the bank's new business and we chatted face to face for half an hour.
When I got off work, I looked at the sun slowly setting outside the window, and I felt very happy. I have been working at this bank for two years. The work does not make me feel tired, but makes me more and more interested in the business. I made an appointment with my colleagues to go hiking in the suburbs next weekend. We prepared bread and maps, listened to music while chatting in the park, bought some fresh fruit as snacks, and relaxed.
