A Japanese business manners guide gives a rule for talking with people from other companies. Everyone in one’s own company, whatever their position, counts as miuchi, one’s own people, and is not raised in speech. Its example: (Shachō no) ○○ mo tanoshimi ni shite iru to mōshite orimashita. Our president, ○○, also said that he was looking forward to it.
The example uses a humble verb, mōshite orimashita, for the words of the speaker’s own president.
