Morning, everyone. How did you get on at the conference? Oh, hi Denise. Yeah, it was, uh, it was okay. What do you mean 'okay（好）'? It was great.

  We made some new contacts（接触） and we won an award. Best Plastic Innovation（创新） of the Year for our Imperial（纸张尺寸） Lemon. Oh, that's wonderful. Wish I'd been there. Maybe next year, eh? Maybe.

  Welcome back（在后） to the offices of Tip Top Trading, where everyone's catching up on yesterday's good news. But today it's bad news that everyone's going to hear, following Paul's chat with the big boss, Mr.Socrates. But how bad is it? Let's find out. Morning, everyone. Hi, Paul.

  Everything okay? Yes, fine. Well done for winning Employee of the Year. I hope you can continue to be a great employee. Excuse（原谅） me. Hmm.

  He sounded odd（奇数的）. What did he mean? Probably just run out of biscuits. He's obviously（明显地） got something on his mind. Denise, could I have a word with you in my office, please? Of course.

  I'll bring my notepad and pen, shall I? What's that all about? Anyway, now we're alone. I wanted to see what you're doing tonight. Are you free? Sorry, Tom.

  I'm seeing Dave tonight. He's offered to fix something on my computer at home. Oh, has he now? Oh, yes. I've worked here. Why me?

  Why now? Denise, what's up? Paul says he needs to move the furniture around, and he has to let me go.
