The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Three o'clock in the afternoon, in the suburbs of Beijing.

The "Beauty and the Beast" segment planned by Yanzi is being filmed here.

In addition to Lingyun's three luxury cars, four well-known female celebrities also participated in the special filming.

If Ling Yun were there, he would recognize them at a glance.

During a break in filming, the two sexy female celebrities huddled together and started chirping softly.

"I just overheard two magazine employees talking about how these expensive luxury cars all belong to a friend of Sister Yanzi's."

"Without a doubt, her friend is definitely a billionaire. I just wonder which big boss he is? He's quite powerful!"

A beautiful female celebrity said in a low voice.

As she said this, she pointed to the red Ferrari 599GTB parked not far away, her eyes full of envy and admiration.

Following the direction of her finger, another beautiful woman looked at the three luxury cars with shining eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the second beautiful woman turned her head to look in the other direction.

"See that beautiful woman who looks a lot like Gao Yuan? I heard she's Gao Yuan's sister, and that brand-new Porsche 911 belongs to her!"

"The day before yesterday at the company, I heard some explosive news: a mysterious tycoon with astonishing wealth had acquired Gao Yuan's Starlight Culture Company."

"Moreover, Gao Yuan was given a signing bonus of 20 million yuan after tax, which is absolutely the first in the mainland entertainment industry, and all the big and small stars in the industry are extremely envious."

As she spoke, she pointed to Leilei, who was chatting with Yanzi not far away, her eyes full of envy.

The next moment, she suddenly lowered her voice a few decibels.

"It's said that this mysterious tycoon is very young and is Gao Yuan's sister's boyfriend. Based on various circumstances, these top-of-the-line luxury cars are very likely his."

More importantly, this mysterious tycoon is prepared to invest 100 million yuan in film and television productions, including a major production with an investment of no less than 50 million yuan.

"This news has caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry. Now everyone is scrambling to get in touch with Starlight Culture; everyone wants to seize this opportunity."

The other beautiful woman was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

The next instant, her eyes suddenly lit up, shining like two searchlights!

Then, she said in a low voice, her eyebrows dancing with excitement:

"I went to Qiantang to film a guy a few days ago, and I really hadn't heard about this. I guess the news hasn't reached them yet!"

"This is a golden opportunity! Gao Yuan's cousin is right here. We can seize this chance to build a relationship with her."

"It would be great if I could get an important role in this big production, at least to make my face known to others."

"If things go even further and he can switch to Starlight Culture, that would be perfect. A boss this generous is extremely rare in the entertainment industry."

As she spoke, she quickly straightened her skirt.

Then he grabbed his still bewildered friend and they walked together toward where Leilei and Yanzi were.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it was already 5:30 pm.

After completing her work report, Lingyun followed an office staff member into the adjacent lounge.

In the lounge.

Two special agents from the Ninth Bureau, appointed by higher-ups, sat upright on the sofa, waiting to meet and get to know Ling Yun.

Upon seeing Ling Yun and the others enter, the two quickly stood up and snapped to attention, giving a military salute.

"Hello, Mr. Ling"

Clearly, they knew Ling Yun's identity and that he was not a member of the system and did not hold any official position.

That's why I use "Mr." instead of "SZ".

Next, Secretary Chen from the General Office gave an introduction to both parties.

"This is Mr. Ling Yun, who shoulders many important responsibilities and is under your protection. You must ensure Mr. Ling's personal safety!"

"Mr. Ling, these are Zhong Tao and Wu Tianfang, both active-duty special agents from the Ninth Bureau. They will be accompanying and protecting you as security personnel from China Aviation Oil."

As Secretary Chen introduced them, Zhong Tao and Wu Tianfang snapped to attention and gave another military salute.

"Please rest assured, sir, I guarantee the task will be completed."

After they finished saluting, Ling Yun smiled and stepped forward to shake hands and greet them.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both, Zhong Tao and Wu Tianfang. I'm Ling Yun, and I mainly work in financial investment!"

"I'm not in the system, and we're the same age, so we don't need to salute each other anymore. We can just call each other by our first names. That will be more comfortable!"

Zhong Tao and the others shook hands with him and paused for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, they replied in unison:

"Your supervisor has instructed that how to interact with others and how to address them at work is up to you."

"We will resolutely execute any legal and compliant orders!"

Ling Yun smiled calmly and continued to explain.

"SZ arranged for you to follow and protect me because of some small achievements I've made, and some important things I'm currently working on."

"Such exceptional treatment makes me feel extremely honored, but since I'm here, I'll make the best of it and believe we'll get along very well."

Hearing his humble explanation, Secretary Chen nodded slightly.

A few minutes later, Ling Yun led Zhong Tao and the others out of the lounge and downstairs to the parking lot.

Because joint investment activities require strict confidentiality, Lingyun cannot frequently appear in public with President Kong and the others unless absolutely necessary.

After all, President Kong and his colleagues are all vice-ministerial level officials, and in most situations, they are the focus of everyone's attention.

Moreover, she has many staff members around her, such as a secretary, driver, and other staff.

In this situation, apart from meeting rooms and the joint investment team's office area, Lingyun had to keep his distance from them in other places.

Today was just like that. General Manager Kong and the others went to the AVIC staff restaurant for a meal, but Ling Yun left the AVIC headquarters alone.

Arriving at his S350, Lingyun handed the car keys to Zhongtao, asking him to drive.

Zhong Tao casually opened the car door and sat in the front with Wu Tianfang, while Ling Yun naturally sat in the back.

The vehicle then started and slowly drove away from the parking lot.

Having driven less than fifty meters, Ling Yun suddenly said:

"From now on, you'll be working alongside me, handling security matters. There are a few things I need to mention beforehand, it'll be better if you do!"

"First thing, I will provide you with dedicated vehicles and accommodations tomorrow. The vehicles are brand new Mercedes-Benz G-Class cars; I also have one myself."

"The choice of accommodation depends on whether you are married or have a girlfriend. You can each have an apartment, or the two of you can have one. It's in the same neighborhood as mine."

Zhong Tao and Wu Tianfang exchanged a quick glance, their eyes filled with surprise.

Although they are renowned special agents of the Ninth Bureau, they are ordinary people outside of work, and they also have daily lives filled with mundane matters.

They were overjoyed to learn that Lingyun would provide them with cars and houses.

Following that, Wu Tianfang explained the situation.

"I'm married. My wife lives in our hometown; she's a retired female soldier. We don't have children yet."

Taozi has a girlfriend who works in Beijing, and they see each other a few times a week.

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun made a decision instantly.

"In that case, we'll provide each of you with an apartment. You can consider bringing your wives and girlfriends to live with you!"

"As for your wives and girlfriends' jobs, that's not a problem either. I own a film and television culture company and can arrange for them to work there."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianfang and the others were even happier.

"Thank you, Lingyun. From now on, you'll see how we perform!"

"Thank you so much, I'll call my wife right away."

"You're welcome, it's nothing."

Ling Yun said with a smile, and then continued the previous topic.

"Secondly, I'm not part of the system, so I'm not bound by the rules and regulations that people within the system follow, which gives me more freedom and flexibility."

"To put it bluntly, I'm surrounded by beautiful women, including some popular female celebrities. You should be prepared for that."

"Hahaha"

Zhong Tao and the others smiled in unison, then nodded in unison.

"This is your private life. Unless it involves safety issues, we won't see anything!"
