M: I have some good news for you.(9)I’ve decided to send you to Shanghai on a business trip this weekend.
W: Oh. That is a piece of news to me indeed.
M: Don’t you think that it’d be a good thing for you to get out of the office for a couple of days?
W: Sure, maybe you’re right.
M:(10)I thought you’d be a bit more excited about this: Everything will be paid for and I’ll send my assistant with you to take care of everything for you. All you have to do is get on the train tonight at 7:00 p.m.
W: The train? I thought I would fly there. Then, will I be flying back then?
M: Oh, no. We’ve bought the return ticket for you. I think you’ll find it comfortable.
W: Will the train be very crowded at this time of the year?
M: Oh, no. The train hasn’t been crowded at all recently. Besides, you’re in first-class, so you’ll be fine.
W: When is the first meeting then?
M:(11)They’ve scheduled the negotiation meeting at 9: 00 tomorrow morning. That would give you enough time to have a quick shower.
W: Where will I be staying?
M: We’ve booked you a room in the hotel where the meetings will be held, so you won’t need to do much with the transportation system.
W: That’s very sensible. Will it be alright if I leave early today to prepare for the trip?
M: That’s not a problem. Have a nap if you can.(12)You don’t know how tight the schedule is for this business trip.
