开始工作(08:00 AM)

In a Rush

This is what happens in the office every morning.

Major Korean and international newspapers are delivered to our office every morning.

One of the junior colleagues in our department nicely organizes the newspapers on the table.

It’s the PR team’s basic task to keep an eye on what is going on in the world.

Every morning, I begin my day by reading newspaper headlines.

If there is anything important, I will save the article.

We have a short meeting after reading the newspapers.

We discuss various social issues as well as the major tasks for the day.

When the meeting ends, everyone goes back to their seats and starts working.
