The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

At 10:15 a.m., the convoy arrived at the Fairy Tale Tea House located in Financial Street.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Zhong Tao immediately reported the situation.

"The situation inside and outside the teahouse is under control. Those guys from Goldman Sachs haven't even arrived yet, so there's no time to make any arrangements!"

"The two lawyers from Zhang's law firm have arrived and are waiting for you in the teahouse."

To facilitate communication and response, Zhong Tao and his team all wore wireless invisible earpieces and walkie-talkies today.

Even Ling Yun was the same; he had a small, invisible earphone in his left ear, so well concealed that it was difficult to spot with the naked eye!

In this way, even when he is meeting with Lewis in the private box, he can receive information from the outside world at any time!

Needless to say, the special agents responsible for monitoring the surveillance and recording audio and video simultaneously were fully aware of the situation inside the private room!

Ling Yun glanced at the elegant entrance of the teahouse and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, let's go in, the show's about to begin."

As he spoke, he reached out and opened the back door, then got out of the car.

Before he got out of the car, Wu Tianfang and Lin Peng had already come to the side of the car and secretly stood guard.

After Zhong Tao got out of the car, Ling Yun led them into the elegant teahouse.

As soon as I entered, two lawyers in suits immediately came up to me, greeted me, and briefly explained the situation.

It's inconvenient for Attorney Zhang to attend today's meeting, as that would expose his identity and his work for Ling Yun.

He recommended two senior lawyers from his firm to Lingyun to participate in today's meeting.

Lingyun met with the two lawyers last night and had a brief discussion.

While greeting the two lawyers, he quickly surveyed the situation in the teahouse.

Although it was the National Day holiday, the teahouse business seemed to be quite good. It was only a little past ten o'clock and there were already quite a few people drinking tea and chatting. The occupancy rate was as high as 60% or 70%.

Moreover, there were quite a few young people drinking tea and chatting. They were all dressed plainly and looked like business people, but they were full of energy!

Among them were many familiar faces, whom Ling Yun had met a few times before in a certain special place.

He knew perfectly well what kind of people these guys were.

After speaking with the lawyer, they followed the teahouse owner, who had come out to greet them personally, and headed towards their reserved private room.

The teahouse owner didn't know Ling Yun, but he knew something was going on in the teahouse today. Seeing Ling Yun's entourage, how could he not be enthusiastic?

About ten minutes passed as they were talking.

Suddenly, three cars drove up and came to a slow stop in front of the teahouse, one after the other.

The people who got out of the three cars were Lewis and Jimmy, along with several accompanying staff, all of whom were Goldman Sachs employees.

Upon landing and looking at the elegant teahouse, Lewis couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Why did this guy choose a teahouse instead of a coffee shop? I've never liked tea!"

Jimmy paused for a moment, then explained in a low voice.

"This is a Chinese tradition and culture. In China, any slightly formal meeting, especially a business meeting, is never held in a coffee shop!"

"Teahouses are different. No matter how big the deal, it can be discussed in a teahouse, and the relaxed environment makes it easier to close a deal!"

Lewis turned to look at him and nodded slightly.

"Since that's the case, I'll also experience this Chinese tradition and hope to gain something from it today."

"Let's go inside and meet that amazing kid that Lold has been thinking about."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked into the teahouse.

Jimmy and the others followed and entered the Fairy Forest Tea House together.

As they entered the teahouse, a series of subtle gazes quickly swept over them before moving on to other places.

Because he was a foreigner in an unfamiliar country and environment, Lewis quickly got used to being watched and didn't notice anything unusual.

Jimmy and his team were used to this situation.

Next, Jimmy, speaking in broken Mandarin, announced the name of the private room.

Then, following the waiter who was actually a special agent, they walked together to a private room on the second floor of the teahouse.

When they arrived at the door of the private room, they were stopped by the lawyer waiting outside, who demanded a body search and only allowed Lewis and Jimmy to enter.

The reason given for the body search was for security reasons, to prevent anyone from carrying hidden cameras or other surreptitious recording devices that could secretly film the talks.

The few attendants who came with Lewis and his men could only wait downstairs while drinking tea.

Upon hearing that he would be searched, Lewis's face immediately darkened.

"Impossible. Today's meeting is just a business negotiation, not a meeting between opposing forces. Why make such a fuss?"

Jimmy was also annoyed and objected on the spot with a dark face.

"We are here representing Goldman Sachs headquarters, and there is absolutely no way we will accept a body search!"

The middle-aged lawyer glanced at them, smiled, and explained a few words in fluent English.

"Gentlemen, if you cannot accept these conditions, you will not be able to enter the private room to meet Mr. Ling Yun and will have to leave!"

"This is indeed a business meeting, but Mr. Ling, are you well aware of whether Goldman Sachs is a competitor? We are also well aware of Goldman Sachs's style of doing things."

"Well!"

Lewis and Jimmy were both speechless, almost unable to catch their breath.

They knew very well what Goldman Sachs' attitude was towards Ling Yun.

That means we should try our best to win them over and use them for our own purposes!

If you fail to win him over, then do everything you can to suppress him until he is forced to his knees and can never raise his head again, or even physically eliminate him!

In this situation, they will naturally stop at nothing!

From this perspective, Ling Yun's request for a body search is perfectly justified!

Clearly, he knows exactly what kind of people Goldman Sachs are!

But the problem is, as Goldman Sachs executives who are usually high and mighty, and who are representing CEO Lloyd, how could Lewis and his team accept this kind of treatment?

Even if they could humble themselves and undergo security checks before entering the private room.

Given Goldman Sachs's superior position in the international financial market, it is impossible for them to accept such a show of force!

After a moment of silence, Jimmy issued a warning with a grim face.

"You've misplaced your show of force; Goldman Sachs isn't buying it!"

"If you insist on a body search, then this meeting will have to be canceled. We hope Mr. Ling can bear the consequences of angering Goldman Sachs!"

Upon hearing this, Lewis's expression changed.

Now all he can think about is making a fortune through stock index options betting, then lying down and enjoying the good life to the fullest!

Compared to this grand goal, Goldman Sachs' prestige and dignity are utterly insignificant!

Therefore, he must meet Ling Yun today to convey Lold's recruitment intentions, and more importantly, to sound out Ling Yun's opinion!

Let's see if he is the mastermind behind the stock index options betting scheme initiated by Yuanda Group, and what his views are on the trends of the international financial market!

Now that Jimmy had made such a definitive statement, he was caught in a dilemma and secretly furious!

Before he could react, the lawyer offered him an opportunity.

"Since you've come representing Goldman Sachs headquarters and wish to speak with Mr. Ling, shouldn't you consult with Goldman Sachs CEO Mr. Lloyd?"

"If Mr. Lloyd also agrees and cannot accept a body search, then I'm very sorry, this meeting will have to be cancelled."

Lewis's eyes lit up suddenly, and he quickly seized the opportunity.

"That makes sense. I'll call Mr. Lloyd right away and ask for his opinion."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, preparing to go aside and make a call.

Jimmy was about to follow, but he was stopped by a wave of his hand, the reason being that the call needed to be kept confidential.

Lewis stopped walking seven or eight meters away.

Then turn on your phone, pretending to look for Lloyd's phone number, and start making the call.

In reality, he didn't dial at all; he was just pretending to make a call while talking to himself!

Inside the private room.

Hearing this through the invisible earpiece, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

"I never expected this guy to be such a skilled actor. This is getting more and more interesting!"
