Walking onto the stage with a powerful presence, Rose scanned the crowd. All who met her gaze, apart from the major CEOs, quickly averted their eyes, unable to hold her stare. Her gaze paused briefly on Lu Tianxing before moving away.
After surveying the entire audience, Rose picked up the microphone and began to speak slowly, "First of all, I want the Rose Charity Foundation to thank everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this charity gala. I won't bother with pleasantries, as it's the same old story we've all heard before until calluses have formed in our ears. I'll just get straight to the point."
A rare joke from Rose immediately elicited laughter from the surrounding crowd.
