Chinese

(Real life conversations that I recently encountered.)

(After seeing a difficult case in a morning round.)

"Em... What are we going to do?" The trainee asked.

"Let's do this and that." The consultant replied.

"How does this decision come along?" The trainee went on.

"Alas! It is after a comprehensive Chinese-style democratic discussion  of the whole team." The consultant said - with a wicked smile.

"Which means...?"

"Which means it is a decision of the top leader - or you can call him our grandfather (阿爺)."

(During a team discussion on duty assignment.)

"Let's ask X to take this up." One consultant said.

"Is he willing to do so?" Another consultant asked.

"Don't worry. He is very flexible."

"What does it mean?"

(In Cantonese) "佢好易屈。"
