認(rèn)識(shí)新的合作伙伴（03:00 PM）

I’m Glad to Get in Touch with You

It’s 3 p.m. The market has just closed and there comes a lull.

Now it’s time for a coffee break. I turn on my mobile phone and see 2 missed?calls, 3 text messages.

Oh, it will be a busy afternoon just preparing for the business trip to Hong Kong?this week.

Where would be a good place to take?a client out for lunch in Central Hong?Kong?

I ended up choosing “L16” which is?located in the center of Hong Kong Park and?dialed then for a reservation.

“Hi, I would like to make a reservation?for lunch this Thursday at 12 p.m.”

“May I have your name please?”

“My name is Liv Kim and I would prefer?window seats, please.”

“How many people will there?be?”?“Only 2.”

“The reservation is completed?under your name. Thank you for?calling.”

I should also remember to give Tony, whom I will meet through Andrew, a call.

I have to call him right away to first introduce myself and then schedule the time?and place to meet.

TRANS

下午3點(diǎn)，剛閉市，周圍籠罩在寧?kù)o當(dāng)中。
現(xiàn)在是喝咖啡休息的時(shí)間。我打開手機(jī)，有2 個(gè)未接電話和3 條未讀短信。
哎呀，今天下午單是準(zhǔn)備這周香港的出差之行也夠我忙的。
想在香港中心區(qū)請(qǐng)顧客吃午飯，有什么好地方嗎？?
我決定在香港公園內(nèi)的L16 吃飯，于是給飯店打電話預(yù)約了座位。
“你好，我想預(yù)約餐桌，星期四中午12 點(diǎn)的?！?br> “您貴姓？”
“我叫金慧蓮，我想要訂靠窗戶的桌子。”
“幾位？”“兩位?！?br> “以您的名義預(yù)訂的餐桌已經(jīng)預(yù)約好了，感謝來(lái)電。”
這次出差還要通過(guò)安德烈認(rèn)識(shí)托尼，不能忘記給托尼打個(gè)電話。
我還是先給他打電話做自我介紹，然后安排跟他見面的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)吧。
