WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You just arrived after traveling; you really ought to rest at home first instead of rushing to see me.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Workplace Courtesy vs. Diligence

Chinese leaders often politely ask subordinates why they haven't gone home to rest, which gives the subordinate a cue to demonstrate loyalty and professionalism by reporting for duty first.
