She is a little nervous, and at eleven at night she still has not slept, sitting on the floor looking at the things scattered everywhere.

Her suitcase is very small, and she can only bring one onto the plane. She needs to bring her laptop, clothes, and also gifts for the clients. She looked at all these things and thought to herself: 'Can all this stuff fit in?' She was not sure, but still decided to give it a try.

She first put the laptop in, then placed the clothes in one by one. Next, she also put three gifts in. The suitcase was packed completely full. She pressed down hard on it, feeling that maybe it could be closed. She took a deep breath and started to pull the zipper.

But the zipper could not be pulled shut. She tried once, then tried again, and still could not close it. She pushed the luggage, pressed down on the clothes, but the zipper still would not move. She was getting a little anxious, thinking to herself: 'How can I deal with this?'

She stood up, paced back and forth, and thought it over. She called her friend Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu said: 'Can you take anything out? The gifts are so heavy, is there any way not to bring them?' Li Wei listened and felt it made sense, but still felt a little reluctant in her heart.

Xiao Yu said again: 'The most important thing about a business trip is the work itself, and gifts can be bought any time.' Li Wei thought about it and felt her friend was right. She decided to take two of the three gifts out, placing them on the table to give away another time.

Then she took all the clothes out, rolled them up one by one, rolling them up very tightly, and then put them back into the suitcase. This way the clothes took up much less space. She placed the laptop on top, and then put the last gift beside it.

She pressed down on the luggage one more time, then slowly pulled the zipper. This time, the zipper slid shut smoothly! She said happily: 'It is finally closed!' She stood up, clapped her hands, and felt much more relaxed.

Li Wei looked at the two gifts on the table and no longer felt sad about it. She understood that on a business trip you do not need to bring just anything and everything, only the most important things need to be brought. She turned off the light and was finally able to fall asleep, feeling much calmer inside, and no longer so afraid of tomorrow.
