00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:48.120
<v Speaker 3>Ming, I think if we change this part to a

102
00:07:48.199 --> 00:07:53.000
<v Speaker 3>more flexible approach, it might yield better results, she said, confidently.

<v Speaker 3>But that would increase uncertainty, and I am very concerned

106
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:12.240
<v Speaker 3>about the risks. Ming responded with a slight frown, his

107
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 3>tone revealing some unease.

00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:55.240
<v Speaker 3>As the discussion deepened, Ming gradually realized that Lina's proposal

117
00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:56.360
<v Speaker 3>was not without merit.

120
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:10.039
<v Speaker 3>He calmed down and thought carefully, discovering that a mix

121
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 3>of both approaches might be more ideal.

122

00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:49.159
<v Speaker 3>This idea lit up Lena's eyes, and she nodded with

130
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:52.039
<v Speaker 3>a smile. That's the meaning of teamwork, isn't it.

00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 3>key to cooperation, using wisdom and compromise to break their stalemate.
