Less than ten minutes.
The elderly man concluded his speech.
Next.
One heavyweight guest after another took the stage - the US Secretary of State, the President of the International Monetary Fund, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization... When it was Tang Qing's turn, it was already two hours later.
There was no helping it.
There were too many people.
Hearing the host call his name.
Tang Qing stood up.
Pretending to adjust his clothes, he stepped forward, this time, it was much more lively than the Annual Meeting in Beijing, watched by political figures, tycoons, and scholars from major economies around the world.
Most people's legs would be trembling.
But Tang Qing's legs were firm.
Standing on stage.
Looking at the more than two thousand people in front of him, he smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, I am very pleased to accept the invitation from the organizing committee to discuss the present and the future at such a grand event."
