Boss says OK

  1. Liangliang

    灯灯(dēngdēng)，老板(lǎobǎn)认可(rènkě)我的(wǒde)方案(fāngàn)了(le)！

    Dengdeng, the boss approved my plan!

  2. Dengdeng

    太好了(tàihǎole)！他(tā)怎么(zěnme)说(shuō)的(de)？

    Great! What did he say?

  3. Liangliang

    他(tā)说(shuō)“可以(kěyǐ)”，这(zhè)就是(jiùshì)认可(rènkě)。

    He said "OK", and that is approval.

  4. Dengdeng

    老板(lǎobǎn)每次(měicì)说(shuō)“可以(kěyǐ)”，都是(dōushì)想(xiǎng)说(shuō)“再(zài)改改(gǎigǎi)”。

    Every time the boss says "OK", he means "revise it again".

  5. Liangliang

    啊(a)？那(nà)我(wǒ)得到(dédào)的(de)认可(rènkě)是(shì)假(jiǎ)的(de)吗(ma)？

    Ah? Then is the approval I got fake?

  6. Dengdeng

    不是(bùshì)假(jiǎ)的(de)，是(shì)“改改(gǎigǎi)再(zài)认可(rènkě)”。

    Not fake, it is "revise, then approve".
