这都下午两点多 吃什么饭 吃到现在
“It's already past two in the afternoon. What kind of lunch takes this long?”

“Lunch should have ended an hour ago; she is clearly slacking off and wasting work time.”
In Chinese office culture, the standard lunch break strictly ends around 1:00 or 1:30 PM, so disappearing past 2:00 PM is viewed as an overt breach of discipline that invites scrutiny from managers.
