K: hi, Isaiah. How are you?

I: I’m well. And you?

K: fine. How’s your job going?

I: I don’t know if I told you or not, but I decided to start my own business.

K: really? That’s fantastic. What kind of business is it?

I: I’ve started an investment banking firm with some of my old colleagues from Goldman Sachs.

K: how’s it going?

I: it started off a bit slow, but now, business is really booming!

K: that’s such great news. I’m really happy for you! Where is your office located?

I: our headoffice is here in Beijing, but we’re planning on opening up two more offices soon.

K: where will those be located?

I: if all goes well, we’ll open one up in Hong Kong in April and another one in Singapore in October.

K: when will you find out?

I: we’re negotiating the final details of the leasing contracts tomorrow.

K: well, good luck. I hope it all goes well for you tomorrow!

I: thanks!
