WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop counting your exact days; you do not deserve this opportunity just by sitting around long enough.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Gongling (Seniority / Length of Service)

In socialist and state-owned enterprise eras, 'gongling' strictly dictated pay, housing allocation, and educational quotas, making workers track their accumulated time down to the exact day.
