💡 Cultural Insight: Addressing Someone as 'Boss' and Social Courtesies

In Chinese social interactions, 'lao ban' (boss) is often used as a respectful title for businesspeople or individuals of prestige. When receiving high praise or deference from others, following the traditional etiquette of 'humbling oneself while elevating others', one typically deflects the compliment by saying 'tai ke qi le' (you are being too polite).
