The CEO’s Speech

Lunch begins with a selection of premium dim sum. While the chef prepares the main course—Applewood-roasted Peking duck—by carving it into delicate, thin, crispy slices, the CEO delivers a brief speech, as is customary here. He notes that the New York consulting firm had sent a "child" into battle, only for it to turn out that she possessed the preparedness of a general and the elegance of a diplomat. Jenni expresses her gratitude for the kind words with a blend of modesty and confidence, highlighting the partner firm’s decades-long history—a foundation upon which they could build—thereby bolstering the partners' standing.
