Thank you management for taking my question. My first question is regarding the competition landscape. So given the uncertain macro situation in the market conditions.

Is it the case that the existing recruiting platforms, a lack the growth potential while at the new entrants seem to make slow progress, which makes our market leadership, even more stronger and looking into next year. How do we expect the competition landscape change in the online recruiting market in a second.

I'm sharing more color on the paying ratio as well as ARPA trend or a platform, especially on the <unk> side, how is the ARPA growth trending recently thank you.

Competitiveness in that front number that comes in a day.

Good and providing service to mid to high intent.

Gotcha perspective also recognized by the market.

And I think every other enterprise has its unique characteristics.

We are continuing to further enhance that.

And that's my answer for that competitive landscape.

Regarding your second question of the RP.

No.

I would like to comment a little bit.

We announced in the quarter we reported.

A full point 9 million booked for cleaning 12 months enterprise customers. So as you probably remember that the second quarter.

Trailing 12 months data to customers.

Number was $4 4 million so we were.

We're roughly increased.

One 5 million paid enterprise customers. So this.

Gross.

Paid enterprise customers I think the mainly reason is that the overall user growth.

At this moment is still faster.

So when the new user come to our platform when they want to pay to use our service most of them they prefer.
