I am a transplanted Chinese living in Oak Park, IL. Wish my company could send me there for a business trip like that.
I don’t have experience teaching people Chinese so not sure what books/material/web sites to recommend. I’ve learned on my many trips to Sweden that even knowing a few simple phrases (and using them) is a big help.

You all will be happy when you or the other person “get it”.
Have fun in China.
