💡 Cultural Insight: kai men jian shan / da kai tian chuang shuo liang hua (getting straight to the point / speaking frankly)

In Chinese business or team communication, people often start with polite pleasantries or indirect probing. Saying 'zhi shuo le' (speaking frankly) signals a deliberate departure from subtle social etiquette to transition into direct, pragmatic communication where one lays all cards on the table.

INTENT TAGS: #laying cards on the table #getting straight to the point #expressing determination
