My Company
I work in a company in Beijing, I like my company a lot. Why? Because my company doesn’t work overtime.
Our manager plans to buy some computers for the office today, because our current computers are not that great, too slow. Our company has 20 offices, each office plans to buy 10 computers, so we plans to buy 200 computers.
The manager’s friend works in a computer company, their computers are very inexpensive, also very good, so he wants to buy this company’s computers. I called the computer company, asked them how much are the computers. They told me, big computers are 900, small computers are 800.
The manager says 900 is not expensive, don’t buy the small computer, buy the big ones. Because the manager needs to have a meeting with someone else, cannot go with me together to that company to buy computer, so I drive to go there by myself.

……我在北京的一家公司上班,我很喜欢我的公司。为什么?因为我们公司不加班。
……我们经理今天打算要给办公室买一些电脑,因为我们现在的电脑不怎么样,太慢了。我们公司有二十个办公室,每个办公室要买十台电脑,所以我们要买两百台电脑。
……经理的朋友在一家电脑公司工作,他们的电脑非常便宜,也非常好,所以他想要买这家公司的电脑。我给这家电脑公司打电话,问他们电脑多少钱。他们告诉我,大的电脑九百块钱,小的电脑八百块钱。
……经理说九百块钱不贵,不要买小的电脑,要买大的。因为下午经理要和别人开会,不能和我一起到那家公司去买电脑,所以我自己开车去。
