Bai Xiaosheng and two others shared an elevator ride with a man and a woman. It was only when they pressed the floor buttons that both parties realized they were heading to the same floor.
However, the Luo surname man and woman appeared entirely uninterested in this coincidence, standing with their backs to the three others, silent and wordless.
As a result, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions had no way to communicate with the other party.
As the elevator ascended, the silence seemed especially pronounced given the five people inside.
This man and woman had their subordinates wait for the next elevator to avoid their own ride being "too" crowded.
Quite the etiquette!
But once they reached their floor, wouldn't they have to wait for those subordinates anyway?
Was it their status that required such etiquette, and thus the subsequent waiting was fitting of their status?
