00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,600
Hello, Mike speaking.
2
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,700
Hello, Mike. This is Alexander.
3
00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:24,600
Yes?
4
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:30,200
Listen, Mike. An important client has just called to say he wants to talk about doing business with us.
5
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,600
Good! Tomorrow I'll prepare something for the meeting.
6
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,100
Oh, no. Not tomorrow, but today.
7
00:00:35,100 --> 00:00:40,800
Today? What do you mean? You're not asking me to stay behind after work, are you?
8
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:47,200
Yes, I'd like you to find the materials and documents we need for the talk and come to my office with them at 5:30.
9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:53,300
He will be here by then as he said there's something urgent, and we have to meet and talk there and then.
10
00:00:53,300 --> 00:00:56,700
Hello? Do you hear me, Mike?
11
00:00:56,700 --> 00:00:57,900
Yes.
12
00:00:57,900 --> 00:00:59,200
Aren't you feeling well?
13
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,500
Ah... yes.
14
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:04,100
Please be quick then. We haven't got much time.
15
00:01:04,100 --> 00:01:06,400
OK.
16
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,500
17
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:15,300
Hi, Mike. What are you busy doing? Don't you want to call it a day yet?
18
00:01:15,300 --> 00:01:16,500
Yes, but I can't.
19
00:01:16,500 --> 00:01:20,000
Why not? What's happened? You don't look well.
20
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,200
I have to stay behind for a business talk.
21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,000
A talk after work?
22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,900
Yes. Alexander often asks me to work overtime. Why do I have to do all these extra little jobs anyway? I wish I didn't have to work late so much.
23
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:39,100
Oh, cheer up, Mike. Overtime isn't that bad! It has something to do with commitment, I think.
24
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:44,100
You're supposed to be in high spirits to show a positive image of our company.
25
00:01:44,100 --> 00:01:45,800
OK, you are right, I suppose.
