All the names in this writing piece are alias. 

In a new production process development project, the engineering team proposed an automation solution which requires some new equipment. The proposal was also given to production team to consider. 

Matthew from the engineering department asked purchasing department, Mark, to request a quote for a piece of equipment.   

Mark provided the quote from the supplier quickly.  Then it went to silence... ...

A few weeks later Mark sent a follow up email to Matthew: Hi, Matthew, are we still considering purchasing the equipment? 

Matthew turned to Paul the production team leader: Hi, Pual, How do I answer Mark? He is asking if we are still considering purchashing the equipment.

Paul hesitated for a few seconds: Y~e~s, we are still considering ... ... ... ...

如果我问你tablet, 你首先想到的是什么? 是药片还是你的ipad? 我直接google tablet给我显示的图片

全都是这东西, 在没有ipad之前哪?

Looks like the quote is too high, out of budget.

是用一种幽默来不加掩饰地表达他还没过脑子或忘记, 还不能算失职,事情太小
