What should I do?
The biggest boss of our company are arriving in our office in Shenzhen next Monday. He is Japanese and will take the plane from Japan. I entered this company for 2 months and I have never seen him before. He can't speak Chinese and I can't speak Japanese. Maybe we have to communicate with English. The point is that I don't speak even English well. What should I say for the first meet? "Hello" "How do you do?" or "How are you?" .
My god! I'm really upset about the coming conversation.

"Hello" "How do you do" or "How are you?" .My god! I'm really worried about the upcoming conversation with him.

If you decide to speak in English, the best thing to say is "How do you do". This is formal and appropriate in such situations. By the way, "how do you do" is a greeting, not a question, so there should be no question mark. I should have deleted the question mark in my correction below, but I somehow missed it. The correct response to "how do you do" is NOT "fine, thank you, and you?", but simply "how do you do".
