The scene opens

  1. T

    Team leader Yoon

    호야 씨, 앉아요. 시장 조사 보고서 초고는 다 읽었어요. 거래처 열두 곳을 하나하나 조사했더라고요.

    Hoya, have a seat. I've read the whole draft of your market-research report. You looked into all twelve partner agencies one by one.

  2. Hoya

    네, 팀장님. 세 나라 거래처에 같은 설문 문항을 보내서, 회신이 온 곳은 전부 정리했습니다.

    Yes. I sent the same survey questions to partners in three countries and wrote up every one that replied.

  3. T

    Team leader Yoon

    수고 많았어요. 그런데 본론에 표가 열두 개예요. 거래처마다 하나씩이요. 표를 다 넣을 것까지는 없어요.

    Thanks for all the work. But there are twelve tables in the main body, one for each partner. There's no need to go as far as putting them all in.
