Colleague: Hey, man, look, what's on the wall over there?

Benjamin: Don't you know that? It's all about new office rules.

Colleague: What does it say?

Benjamin: It says smoking is not allowed in any private offices. It might be the most terrible thing for you.

Colleague: I can smoke outside of the office. But what else does it say?

Benjamin: If you want to ask for leave, you should get the approval from the manager in charge of your department.

Colleague: But if there is an emergency and the manager is of absence, what should we do?

Benjamin: The note says you should call your manager first, and then tell him your reason, and then ask him for the approval.

Colleague: OK, OK, got it. By the way, what about the vacation policy? Anything changed?

Benjamin: No. We still enjoy 10-day of paid vacation per year.

Colleague: Can we have 7-day holiday on National Day?

Benjamin: Of course. That's what we deserve.

Colleague: That's great!

Benjamin: I have something else to remind you of. Don't be late, if you are late, you will be fined 20 Yuan per minute.

Colleague: Are you kidding? I always get up late. Oh, my God. Can't believe that. That is terrible.

Benjamin: So remember to set your alarm clock.

同事:喂，兄弟，那邊牆上貼的是什麼呢？

本傑明:你不知道嗎？那全都是新的辦公室制度。

同事:那上面說什麼呢？

本傑明:上面規定，不允許在任何辦公室抽菸。對於你來說，這是最可怕的。

同事:我可以去辦公室外面抽啊。那還有什麼規定呢？

本傑明:如果你想要請假，你得先得到部門經理的允許。

同事:但是如果有緊急情況，經理又不在，我們怎麼辦呢？

本傑明:通知上說，你得先打電話給經理，然後告訴他原因，再申請得到他的允許。

同事:好的，好的，知道了。對了，那放假制度改了嗎？

本傑明:沒有。我們仍然享有10天的有薪年假。

同事:那國慶還放7天假嗎？

本傑明:當然啊。那是我們應得的。

同事:那太棒了。

本傑明:我還得提醒你一點，不要遲到，如果遲到的話，你將被罰款每分鐘20元。

同事:你在開玩笑吧？我總是起來得很晚。噢，天啊，讓人太難以相信了。那太可怕了。

本傑明:那你就記得調好你的鬧鐘。
