The reminder appeared in a staff chat at nine.
Yang Ruoqian saw it because the assistant lead made the mistake of being transparent.
Three deferred venues may return this week.
Please do not ask them first.
Yang stared.
"Why is there a reminder telling people not to remind people?"
The assistant lead said, "To prevent premature follow-up."
"That is a reminder."
"A negative reminder."
"Negative money is still money to the system."
Finance looked interested.
Yang regretted speaking near finance.
At nine-thirty, he issued the obvious order.
"No reminders for future files."
The operations manager asked, "No reminders to owners?"
"No."
"No reminders to staff?"
"No."
"No reminders not to remind?"
Yang paused.
That one had claws.
"Especially no reminders not to remind."
At ten, staff removed the note.
For eight minutes, Yang felt lighter.
Then an owner email arrived.
We remember the missing stage drawing. It will be sent by Thursday.
Yang pointed at remember.
