I have been working under his supervision in the area of Pasuruan for three years. He invited me to come to his office.

Yesterday I was very happy because I could come to see Mr. Wahyudi. As I arrived at his office, located at 12 Jalan Peneleh Masjid Surabaya, I was warmly greeted by him. He asked me what drink I would like. I preferred tea, and then he asked the office boy to make it for me. He showed me the table of the sales and he said, “It’s your duty to expand our business in the area of Probolinggo.” Then I read the table of my own sales which is much better than any other area’s sales except that of Surabaya. I smiled happily to see my successful work. “I begin to have a lot of self-confidence.” I thought, as a young salesman I said to myself, “Business is my world and it is really true that my grandfather once said that I had a talent of selling things.”
