Zh: 他知道解决问题需要两个人的合作，于是，他决定放下成见，向梅寻求帮助。
En: Acknowledging that solving the problem requires a collaboration, he chooses to set aside his prejudices and seeks Mei's help.

Zh: 梅微微一笑，点头答应。
En: Mei smiles slightly and agrees to help.

Zh: 两人迅速联合解决问题。
En: Together, they quickly resolve the issue.

Zh: 梅负责联系技术人员，梁则指挥其他同事进行备用方案的准备。
