What are they discussing?

M: I’m sorry to say that Mr. Jordan is leaving our company. In fact, he will establish his own company.
W: That’s unfortunate. His performance as a marketing department chief has been excellent. I wish he would stay with our company longer.
M: Yes, I feel the same way. I relied on him for many things. He has contributed a lot to our sales because of his excellent marketing strategies and hard work. We should throw a farewell party for him.
W: That sounds good. First, I’ll notify the human resources manager and ask him to find someone to replace him as early as possible.
