M: Oh, I hope Alexander likes this. It’s a bit of risk serving fish and shrimps to a guest who comes to visit us for the first time. Maybe I should also prepare a steak.

uch about his preference. He came from another department of the company early this year.

W: Absolutely. He’s the one who comes to save the department.

M: Really? Why do you say so?

M: So, what about the situation this year?
W: Alexander introduced a brand new system for sales and management, and it’s quite effective and efficient. The profit has even doubled in the last month. M: Wow, that’s fantastic! I cannot wait to meet him for dinner.

Actually, he doesn’t know how to smile, not to say laugh. His full and very black moustache covers his upper lip. Whenever he wants to start a speech, he bites his lips for a while. During his talk, he clears his throat from time to time. Although he pretends to be gentle, he may make you feel very tense and worried. Before I invite him onto the stage, one thing I should warn you of: listen to his talk; don’t watch his face or his show. Ladies and gentlemen, now Mr. David Mellor…
