How to combine many small sentences into one
A salesman from Mr. X company came to our office. His name was "Clante". I directed him to meet you.

If correct, how can I combine these three sentences into one? For me, writing a sentence with four words sound weird.

A person named Clanted from X company came to our office where I directed to meet you.

CJ suggested a 'when' clause. 'Directed to meet' is odd, and I am not sure what you mean by it.

Thanks Mister Micawber.
Here is the revised version.
