"Good Morning" in Chinese is "早上好 zǎoshang hǎo" or "早zǎo".

Chinese people do use this greeting in the morning. "zǎo" is more common than "zǎoshang hǎo".

1)先完成的先交给我,我好让其他部门开始相关的工作。

"好"有"可以"的意思。这个用法的时候,"好"用于后一小句,表示前一小句中动作的目的。

当然你也可以说:我可以让其他部门...

2)下次有升职的机会,公司会先考虑你的。

"会...的", "的"有加强肯定语气的作用。

所以这个句子应该这样理解"公司 会 先 考虑 你 的"。
