While dancing with Clark, Wu Hua explained to her, "Miss Clark, there are many customs in the East that you are not yet familiar with. In such an important social setting, your first dance should be to invite Secretary Tao, because you are our most esteemed guest. In our country, such etiquette is of the utmost importance. When the next song begins, you must take the initiative to invite Secretary Tao."
Clark asked with a puzzled expression, "Why is that, Boss? If it is as you say, why didn't Secretary Tao take the initiative to invite me just now? In America, men are very gentlemanly; how could they let a lady invite a man?"
Wu Hua smiled and explained, "Miss Clark, this is a cultural difference. We have a saying in the East: 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do.' Once you are in the East, you must follow Eastern customs. In our business, we believe that harmony brings wealth, so naturally we must consider everything thoroughly. Look, didn't you just follow local custom by taking the initiative to ask me to dance? It seems you are quite talented in this regard!"
