"Everyone here is practically an elite in every field."
"So, in order to respect everyone, I tore up the speech script that my secretary gave me!"
Raymond smiled as he spoke. His witty words directly attracted a wave of friendly laughter.
Then, he continued.
"Since everyone is an elite, then I would like to ask a question."
"Everyone, what do you think is the mission of our Raymond Research Institute?"
Raymond looked down the stage and then pointed at a young man.
The young man's face was flushed red. He stood up excitedly and took the microphone that Sherry handed over.
"General Raymond, the mission of the research institute is to let our country's technology stand at the top of the world!"
Raymond nodded and smiled.
"You're right, but it's not accurate enough."
Then, he pointed at an old man in a military uniform.
