Dan: The office was wonderful! But the tea they served was terrible.And they gave me a cheap little gift; this mascot doll. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do with it …
Aya: Well, you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth! It’s the thought that counts.
Dan: Yeah, I guess you’re right, sorry. Speaking of which, the new building is completely non-smoking.
Aya: That must be tough for you smokers, eh?
Dan: Well, no, actually, I went cold turkey and quit smoking!
Aya: Good for you!By the way, how are the key negotiations going?
Dan: So far so good.Since the client is starting a new business, we can expand our business with them through this new contract. It was unexpected, but it’s a great opportunity!
Aya: We’ve wanted to get this client for ages, so getting this deal feels like Christmas came early this year. Our president was absolutely delighted when he heard the news.
Dan: And rightly so. Deals like this only happen once in a blue moon. The only problem is that they create so much extra work, and I hate having to do overtime.
Aya: Well, the important thing is not to get your tinsel in a tangle and deal with each stage step by step. Anyway, let’s organize a party for the everyone in the team when the contract is finalized. The more who can join the merrier!
