The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In a few steps, Director Liu and Director Li walked to the middle of the first row and prepared to sit down.

These chairs don't have their names on them, but each of them knows exactly which chair they should sit in.

Everyone knows their job rank and the importance of their unit perfectly well, so there's no way they can make a mistake.

Upon seeing Director Liu and his group arrive, the people sitting in the second row all smiled and greeted them warmly.

Among them were the two principals of the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy, who were particularly enthusiastic.

"Good evening, Director Liu, Director Zhang, I didn't expect you leaders to come and see this avant-garde play."

"If we had known earlier, we should have gone outside to greet them. Please forgive us."

Director Liu and Director Zhang looked at them and exchanged a few polite words with smiles.

"Hello, Principal Hao, Principal Wang, please don't be shy. We are just ordinary theatergoers, just like everyone else."

"We're here tonight to see a play, in a private capacity, at the invitation of a child..."

As he spoke, Liu turned and looked towards Ling Yun.

Following his gaze, Principal Hao and Principal Wang all looked in that direction.

They were all shrewd and calculating people; they understood immediately.

The imposing young man not far away was clearly the behind-the-scenes boss of Starlight Culture, whose background and influence far exceeded his imagination.

With such an unfathomable boss, Starlight Culture's influence and status in the industry have risen dramatically, and we must pay close attention to it in the future!

Not only Principal Wang and his group, but many people in the front row quickly reached this consensus.

The management and employees of Starlight Culture, as well as the artists signed by the company, who were also present, all had their eyes shining with joy!

Their boss was so powerful that it was somewhat beyond their expectations!

As they were talking, many bigwigs had already entered the theater.

Ling Yun gestured for everyone to sit down, then quickly walked to the center of the first row and sat down in the empty seat between Director Zhang and Department Head Liu.

As soon as he sat down, he immediately whispered:

"Director Liu, after the play is performed, I'd appreciate your feedback and guidance to encourage the crew!"

"Of course, if the play is a failure, or if you don't like it, that's fine too. We have to be realistic!"

"No problem, this play has a star-studded cast, it's bound to be good."

Liu nodded with a smile.

Watching their interaction, many observant people in the back row became even more certain of their judgment.

The mysterious boss of Starlight Culture is indeed unfathomable. By extension, it is a foregone conclusion that Starlight Culture will soar to new heights!

Third row of the theater.

Suddenly, Da Meiyuan's mother leaned close to Lei Lei's mother's ear and whispered a few words.

"Our Leilei really hit the jackpot this time! Who would have thought that Xiaoling, at such a young age, could reach such a level? It's simply unbelievable!"

"Not only is he a super-rich man, but he also turned Leilei into a billionaire. He's so influential in official circles; he's truly an impeccable son-in-law!..."

She had no idea when she said those words.

Her own precious daughter had long been devoured by Ling Yun, and together with Lei Lei, they were enacting a brand new modern-day Ehuang and Nüying story.

Hearing her cousin-in-law's words, Leilei's mother couldn't hide her smugness.

As soon as Da Meiyuan's mother finished speaking, she immediately echoed her words in a low voice.

"Sister-in-law, you're right. Yunzi is perfect, except she's too career-driven; she's always so busy!"

According to Leilei, because he trades in the international financial market, he often stays up all night leading his team in investments, and then goes home to sleep during the day.

"They're so busy they don't even have time to have a meal with us. At first, we were a little resentful, but now that we see this, we understand."

"After all, he's just one person. Time is tight. He has to make investments and maintain such high-level relationships every day, so he's bound to be overwhelmed..."

She paused for a moment after saying this.

After a moment's hesitation, she lowered her voice even further and said with no small amount of pride:

"Sister-in-law, there's something you don't know yet. Yunzi has another special identity; he's a member of the Financial Stability and Development Committee who enjoys the待遇 (treatment/benefits) of a department-level official..."

"Wow, that's an exaggeration?"

Da Meiyuan's mother gasped in surprise, but thankfully her voice was very soft.

At the same time as she exclaimed in surprise, her eyes were instantly filled with envy.

If Yunzi were Yuanyuan's boyfriend, that would be so wonderful!

Before we knew it, it was already 7:30 p.m.

When the performance time was up, the lights in the theater quickly dimmed, and the room fell silent.

The curtain slowly rose on the stage, officially commencing the premiere of this avant-garde experimental play.

At the same time that this play was being performed, a series of exciting dramas were also unfolding in the international financial market.

Following the special meeting of G7 finance ministers and central bank governors, the Eurozone held its first-ever summit.

At this summit, the leaders of the 15 Eurozone countries gathered in Paris to clarify and unify the framework for market rescue.

The decision was made to take unified action to rescue the European financial markets and resolve the imminent European banking crisis!

The final core resolution consisted of four points.

These measures include guaranteeing bank debts, directly injecting capital into banks, prohibiting bank runs, and launching unified actions.

With this resolution, Europe has finally ended its fragmented approach and begun to act in unison to save the financial markets!

The G7 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting has just concluded, and the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting is following closely behind!

The expanded meeting will once again be held in Washington, D.C.

The meeting produced a core statement in which countries pledged to use all available economic and financial means to stabilize international financial markets!

This has created a global united front, providing political endorsement for the ultimate market rescue that is set to begin on Monday!

In addition, countries around the world have introduced many market rescue measures and policies.

However, amidst the flurry of positive news, there are occasionally some disappointing negative news items.

The biggest negative factor was the full-blown crisis in Iceland, which quickly showed signs of impending national bankruptcy.

Before we knew it, it was already around 10 p.m.

After seeing off Liu and his group, Ling Yun, accompanied by the vice president of Starlight Culture and Jia Jingwen, went backstage at the theater to meet with the cast and crew.

The avant-garde play, which ended half an hour ago, had a very successful premiere, winning thunderous applause.

After the performance, Director Liu and Director Zhu went on stage to give high praise to this avant-garde play and wished the upcoming tour a success.

After their speech, they shook hands with each member of the cast and crew, offering words of encouragement.

Unlike before, after being given permission, the media reporters on site raised their cameras and took many photos of Director Liu and Director Zhu interacting with the crew!

As for Ling Yun and Director Zhang, although they were sitting in the first row below, they never appeared in any reporter's camera lens!

After Director Liu and Director Zhu finished speaking, Ling Yun immediately led them out through a side door, then saw them off to their car and away from the Poly Theatre.

Inside the theater.

With Liu and his team gone, everyone in the crew breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

Next, everyone began to give media interviews to promote this avant-garde experimental play!

When Ling Yun entered the theater backstage, the rest of the cast and crew were still being interviewed on stage and had not yet returned backstage.

However, Ling Yun met some unexpected people backstage!
