"Okay. Louis, we are such close friends. So, let's not say those modest words. Oh, tell me, why are you calling me this time?"

"It's like this. I plan to let Kevin participate in the selection of the upcoming poet laureate. Among the friends I know, you are the only member of the Poetry Association." Louis said.
