Dear Team,

The change aims to simplify the reimbursement process and provide better cost transparency. More details, including booking instructions, will be available on the HR intranet page next week.
Thank you for your cooperation.

📄 【Passage 2：Chat Conversation】
Tom (Sales): Hey, did you see Lisa’s email about the new travel system?
Rika (Marketing): Yeah, looks like we have to use GlobalFly starting next month. I hope it’s user-friendly.
Tom: Same here. I heard Finance will no longer accept receipts from personal bookings.
Rika: That makes sense. I remember last time it took weeks to get reimbursed!
Tom: True. They said there’ll be a demo session for GlobalFly next Wednesday, right?
Rika: Yeah, it’s optional, but I’ll probably attend.
