Notes

I remained silent for a while to digest what L said. Then, I decided to change the topic slightly, “I see that you are bringing along with you a note book. If you believe the entire exercise of program review and opinion collection is kind of a window dressing, why do you have to take notes during the meeting?”

“Alas, I take notes, but I do not jot down the opinion that people expressed during the meeting!”

“What!?”

“You see? What everyone say in the meeting is immaterial. I put down the words of only one person – the chairman's! This is the official opinion; it indicates what the boss really wants to happen!”

“L, you are such an evil!” I exclaimed.

“Well, I shall take that as a compliment.” My friend said with a twist of his lips.
