Hello gents.
What is that phrase? Cutting it rather thin? Cut what? Wood?
Code:
[COLOR=maroon][FONT=Segoe UI]Ivy : [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI]Congratulations on winning the order! The deadline for the delivery is 30 days from now.
[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI][COLOR=maroon]Smith : [/COLOR]30 days? Wow! [B]That’s cutting it rather thin.[/B] I asked for a 45-day period.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI][COLOR=maroon]Ivy : [/COLOR]Come on. You know we can’t afford waiting for 45 days for the material. Thirty days is the industry standard.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI][COLOR=maroon]Smith : [/COLOR]You’re right Mrs. Ivy, but you’ve asked for a special design modification. That’s going to take time. I don’t want to disappoint you later.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI][COLOR=maroon]Ivy : [/COLOR]Hmm.. How soon do you think you can deliver it?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI][COLOR=maroon]Smith : [/COLOR]Well, I like working with you, so I am going to make an extra effort. Let’s fix it at 36 days.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=maroon][FONT=Segoe UI]Ivy : [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Segoe UI]Okay, Mr. Smith. That sounds reasonable.[/FONT][/COLOR]
