The woman, surnamed Li, who works in Guangzhou in Guangdong province, southeastern China, was enjoying a highly anticipated candlelight dinner with her boyfriend, who had travelled to the city specifically to celebrate her birthday.

“Because we are in a long-distance relationship, I cherish every opportunity I get to spend time with him,” said Li.

However, the date of red wine, fancy food and a movie was interrupted by a flurry of messages from Li’s boss.
