Postgraduate Xu Qing landed himself in a holding cell at a local police 
station on September 3rd for harassing his former boss by sending him more than 
2,000 insulting cellphone text messages and calling him at night, wrote the 
Beijing Times yesterday. 
 Xu joined Wang's company in January and concluded a transaction by using his 
personal connections during his three-month probation period. 
 Xu asked for a 30,000 yuan (US$3,780) brokerage fee for his contribution to 
the deal, but was turned down by Wang, who didn't offer Xu a contract at the end 
of the probation period. 
 Xu frequently called Wang and sent insulting text messages to his phone 
starting in June. Wang called the police when finally got fed up with the 
midnight calls on September 3rd. 
 Xu spent seven days in administrative detention.
