Edited:

Our company got a new client, Adidas. We will work on seven of their product lines and my boss distributed them into four teams. I thought I would be in charge of one line, but when I discussed it with my boss, he decided that I should be assigned to a creative support team, which means I would work on some technical things, but would not propose any ideas or thoughts to our client. When I found out about the arrangement, I discussed it with my boss again and he told me the reason why I was assigned the creative support team was that Adidas is a global client, and my English is not good enough. So now I want to improve my English quickly, so it can be good enough for me to face my client directly.
