So, Li Ming, how do you think that went, because the client smiled all the way through, and I'm not sure they agreed to a single thing? They said they'd consider the timeline, they'd see what they could do about the budget, and they'd get back to us on the testing. In my experience, that's three polite noes in under an hour.
李明,你觉得刚才怎么样?客户从头到尾都在笑,可我不确定他们答应了任何一件事。他们说会考虑时间表,会看看预算上能做些什么,还会就测试的事回头答复我们。以我的经验,这是不到一小时里三个客气的「不」。

I counted the same three, which surprised me, because I'd have heard them as yeses a year ago. In London I learned that I'll bear it in mind usually means no, so I'm starting to recognize the whole family of phrases. Is this a Singapore thing, or just a client thing?
我也数出了同样的三个,这让我自己都很意外,因为一年前我会把它们听成「好」。在伦敦我学到,I'll bear it in mind 通常意味着「不」,所以我开始认出这一整类说法了。这是新加坡的特点,还是客户都这样?
