"Then could you send me the application materials? And if I pass the exam, please remember to reserve a position for me?"
"Dream on!" Xia Changlong typed one message before typing another: "Confidential document. Remember that address from last time? Come over after class tomorrow!"
"Okay! Remember to buy a decent boxed lunch?"
"Showing off!"
"You have to pay people to do things, and a boxed lunch is much cheaper than your employees'! It's settled then!"
Back in the conference room, Xia Changlong, already impatient with the group, gave his instructions and adjourned the meeting.

"Pfft!" Secretary Huang spat out again, "President Xia...should we book a table for your banquet?"
"Extravagant and wasteful!" After saying this, Xia Changlong left work without looking back.
