After lunch, we re-assembled in the auditorium. The host once again walked up to the stage and talked on and on.

They called for the participants to step on the podium.
I started to walk towards the podium.
"CEO Hu, are you getting down to the battlefield yourself? Let your coder handle it?" that annoying CEO from Zebra company blocked my path to the podium.
"Excuse me," I said and walked past him. He is really trying too hard to make himself more established.
I saw him smirking at me, as I walked by, from the corner of his eyes.
I ignored the middle-age man and made my way through the crowd to the podium.
