Perhaps they didn&#x27;t have a spare meeting room without disrupting other teams?<p>When need be, my company book a shared meeting room in our office building for days or weeks at a time.  It&#x27;s not the Marriott, but it is pleasant, and at around 25 Yuan (that&#x27;s $4) per hour including internet and chairs &#x2F; desks &#x2F; projector &#x2F; internet &#x2F; stage &#x2F; windows, it is pretty nice, and plenty big enough with each room at around 120 square meters in size.
