The story

小雨：大卫，今天你们公司体检。别吃早饭！David, it's your company check-up today. Don't eat any breakfast!

大卫：不吃早饭？我怎么生存啊？那我只能看着包子吃了。No breakfast? How am I supposed to survive? Then I'll just have to watch Baozi eat.

小雨：奇怪，包子的小鱼，每天晚上都少几个。That's odd. A few of Baozi's little fish treats go missing every night.

小雨：包子，我指的就是你！你最近太胖了！Baozi, I mean you! You've got far too fat lately!

包子：喵……Meow...

大卫：别冤枉包子……我走了！Don't blame poor Baozi... I'm off!

张经理：大家注意！体检要定期做，一年一次！Attention, everyone! Check-ups must be regular: once a year!

大卫：一年一次？我上次体检，是五年前。Once a year? My last check-up was five years ago.
