gao ding /gow ding,/ Mandarin. gao carry on, be engaged in + dìng fixed, settled, established. Achieved, completed, finished.
In other words, TCB -- take care of business.
If there was a city motto, it would be "In Shanghai, we can always gao ding."
You'll often hear "Gao ding le*!" and hopefully find situations to use it yourself...
*Verb + le is the past tense construction of an action.
