"Isn't your work difficult, Ah-rang? I've heard that many women, especially in general affairs, tend to leave the company, given the workload."
"Most women leave when they get married. That's why I plan to delay marriage as long as possible," she replied confidently.
"You're only twenty-two, but I imagine the pressure is still considerable."
"It is, especially from my family… Wait, did I tell you my age?"
"Uh, yes. You mentioned it before."
"Did I? Anyway, I want to work for a long time—like Secretary-General Siu Lin. I heard she plans to keep working even after marriage."
"And how does a woman divide her attention between marriage and outside work?" Ian teased, adopting a mock-serious tone.
"Excuse me? Saying things like that will get you canceled these days. Aren't you supposed to be part of the progressive generation? What's with the outdated thinking?"
Ah-rang's pointed comment referenced the new wave of educated youth reshaping societal norms.
