Two employees talk about the transfer of one of their co-workers

— Did you hear that Willie is going to be transferred to Singapore?
— Really? But he was doing such a good job here, ever since he returned from China. Our overseas accounts have nearly doubled.
— That's probably why the head office has asked him to replace Brent as director of Asia operations. He has the most foreign experience.
— Well, good for Willie. He's going to be busy, with our Thailand branch opening next year.
