Thanks for another great Qing Wen.  I hadn't realized that Mianzi was such a concept based on superficiality.  I always find these lessons really informative.

Also, I think Lao Wang should give out parting gifts to his co-workers and to Zhou Jun. Zhou's can get a clock wrapped in white paper, and everyone else can get a green hat with a note informing them that when Zhou goes home early for the day, he's hasn't been going to his home.

Then we'll see who's 激动极了.

Fun lesson. Thanks for giving me the chance to procrastinate doing my actual Chinese homework. This is so much more interesting than reading about 南京市中山路 anyways.

我想问一下,可以说: “炒了老王的鱿鱼。“

or 

炒老王的鱿鱼了。

or can't you say the phrase in the past tense?

Thanks,

Jake
