At last, he introduced a recent episode; a son of a employee wrote an article on dad's company in the newspaper at school.
The son told him, "Dad's company is great and cool!! I am proud of you, dad!!" The audience praised and applauded, looking at Maruyama's joyful smile and the hall was filled with a warm atmosphere.
