When to use it
下周 (xià zhōu) is "next week"; 下星期 (xià xīngqī) is the fuller written form; both are correct and interchangeable. For "week after next" use 下下周 (the double-下 pattern). In work contexts, 下周X (next week on day X) is the standard scheduling phrase: 下周三 (next Wednesday). Chinese business schedules week-ahead; avoid overly long deferrals like "two weeks out"; colleagues will chase you up within the week.
