The "neighbor" on the right was about the same age, sporting a buzz cut and speaking with a boisterous manner.
He greeted Qin Shi with a friendly familiarity:
"Hey buddy, where are you from? I'm from Zhou City, last name Gao, first name Pao."
Qin Shi opened his eyes and introduced himself in an indifferent manner:
"Central City, Qin Shi. Shi, as in 'Shi Jin Bu Mei' - 'Don't pocket lost money without permission.'"
The boisterous young man raised an eyebrow and meaningfully remarked:
"Oh, so you're a young master from Central City. My apologies, my apologies."
The buzz-cut lad, who called himself Gao Pao, didn't initiate further conversation, instead striking up a chat with a sincere-looking young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"My name is Song Ping, from Yan City, just graduated a year ago..."
The youthful faces in the room all engaged in this kind of self-introduction.
