When the man finished speaking and returned to his seat, Cheng Maixiang extended her hand and said, "Comrade Li, your speech was very good."

Comrade Li is a very shy person. He has not spoken a word to the people in the garment factory since he got on the bus. Even Cheng Maixiang only knew his last name from his speech just now. When he met Cheng Maixiang and took the initiative to shake hands with him and praise him, he couldn't help but nodded shyly, gently shook her hand and then retracted it.

Finally, it was Cheng Maixiang's turn to speak. She walked up to the podium with empty hands. When the people in the audience saw her, they immediately felt their eyes light up.

Cheng Maixiang pointed to the clock on the wall and said to the audience with a smile, "It's 11:05 now. According to the conference schedule, everyone will have lunch after I finish my speech. I will try to shorten my speech time so that everyone can have lunch early."

Some people in the audience immediately laughed out loud. Her words expressed the thoughts of many people, and even several leaders sitting in the first row couldn't help but smile.

In her previous life, Cheng Maixiang had participated in several speeches and debates during her college years. She had good eloquence and her speeches successfully incorporated the popular slogans of the time into the actual performance of the garment factory.

Moreover, the storytelling mode used made the listeners feel a sense of affinity, as if a person was talking to others about the details of the Shuangshui Village Garment Workshop's establishment and growth over the past two years.

Moreover, Cheng Maixiang spoke without a script. Because she was not constrained by having to lower her head to read a script, her eyes were fixed on the audience, her hands were naturally crossed, and her whole posture was very relaxed. Everyone who was used to listening to passionate and serious speeches was completely captivated, and her every word was heard by everyone.

In particular, several leaders in the front row looked at each other in surprise when they heard that Shuangshui Village Garment Factory had a cooperative relationship with Guangshi Garment Factory and even sold clothes to Gangcheng. The municipal party secretary stared at her without blinking.

During her speech, Cheng Maixiang did not use formal written language. Instead, she adopted many slangs from the city of Dengcheng. Her words were full of wit and humor, which made the people in the auditorium burst into laughter several times. Even several leaders of the municipal party committee covered their mouths while laughing.

Cheng Maixiang kept her speech time strictly within twelve minutes. When she finished her speech, there was prolonged applause in the auditorium. It was obvious that everyone had a high opinion of her speech report.

After the applause died down, a municipal Party committee leader asked, "Comrade Cheng Maixiang, in your speech you mentioned hardship, simplicity, and frugality, but the way you're dressed doesn't seem like hardship or simplicity at all. How do you explain this?"
