The IMF expects that the actual growth rate of China's GDP in 2021 will be about 8.1%, and the annual growth rate of China's flexible staffing market is expected to be 20.6% in 2021. Given the rapid growth of China's flexible staffing industry and the Chinese government's emphasis on employment stability, the Group is confident of the rapid business development in 2021. Looking forward, we will continue to diversify and expand our customer base to increase revenue. In addition, we will continue expand the geographic support network for domestic and overseas customer service, while continue to enhance the integrated human resource ecosystem and platform, striving to create a professional career ecosystem."
