Definition
秘书处 (mìshūchù) is a fixed noun meaning 'secretariat' or 'secretary's office' — the administrative body handling correspondence, records, and logistics for an organization, government, or international conference. The pinyin field in the source row (bì) is an error: the character 秘 is pronounced mì in 秘书 (never bì in modern standard Chinese). The reading bì appears only in the historical/classical word 秘[bi4] meaning 'hiding, secret' or in the surname 秘 (Bì). For HSK-level vocabulary, the standard reading for 秘书处 is mìshūchù.
