Don't beat around the bush !!!
Zina	I'm not going to beat around the bush. I need a raise.
Vince	I can't do that, Zina. You know I can't.
Zina	I've done my research. I know you still control more than 65 percent of InfoKing options.
Vince	Who told you that ?
Zina	That doesn't matter. I want at  least 4 percent.

                                                                          

Explanation :

Beat around the bush - to avoid talking about what is important

Example : Don't  beat around the bush - get to the point!

I don't like to beat around the bush,I'm a blunt guy.

妹妹是男的？

M.M豆

女的,哈哈.

lamjin

那为啥用 a guy ?

M.M豆

在口语里面,guy是不是男的女的都可以指呢?经常听到"you guys..."

lamjin

guy 用单数时， 只能用于男的。
但用复数时可男可女。

yes, I would.

infoKing 是公司的名字， options 这里当“期权”， 类似股票的东西。

You remind me that my classmate a Chinese international student would like to beat around the bush when I asked him the question about the study. I do not understand why he did in such a way to me.
