How to Say ‘Work has been going smoothly too.’ in Simplified Chinese

工作这边也还顺利。

gōng zuò zhè biān yě hái shùn lì

[gong-zwoh juh-byen yeah high shwun-lee]

💬 Usage Tip: [X这边] is a useful conversational pattern for "as for X / on the X side," so [工作这边也还顺利] means "work is also going fairly smoothly." [还] here softens the statement, more like "fairly" than "still."
