Original: 

Next month our company will hold an exhibition in Shanghai. Our manager recommended a hotel called Intercontinental to me and asked me to book a room for our boss. I called at the hotel directly and asked them about room rates. It was about 2200 yuan per night. This was happened a week ago. Yesterday my Filipino colleague sent a website link via WeChat to my manager. On the website, the room rate is just 200 yuan per night. My manager argued me with this and I don’t know how reply her. It seems my Filipino colleague is doubting my work and pisses me off.
