The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Lingyun led Leilei and her parents into their courtyard house, Leilei's parents couldn't help but feel the same emotions as Yanzi's parents.

"This is what life should be like! Living in a courtyard like this must be so comfortable."

As they spoke, Ling Yun led his family to the front of the hanging flower gate.

Just then, my parents and aunt came out from the hanging flower gate to greet us, and my grandparents also came out from the living room in the north room and stood at the door looking at the hanging flower gate.

It was the first time the two sets of parents had met, so they were naturally very polite to each other and were all smiling.

With Lingyun's introduction, the parents of both sides got to know each other, shook hands, and exchanged pleasantries.

Afterwards, everyone walked through the hanging flower gate and entered the second courtyard.

As soon as they turned past the screen inside the hanging flower gate, Leilei's parents were immediately captivated by this courtyard within a courtyard, which was full of auspicious energy, blooming flowers, and vibrant life.

"Wow! This courtyard is so beautiful! It's a completely different world from the noisy streets outside. It's truly a peaceful haven away from the hustle and bustle!"

Leilei's mother couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Hearing this praise, Mom proudly raised her chin.

She was mainly responsible for managing the courtyard, or directing the workers to manage it. Now that she had gained a little attention, she was naturally quite proud!

Of course, I still exchanged a few polite words.

"You flatter me. The layout of this courtyard, especially the arrangement of greenery and flowers, still has many areas for improvement."

"Unfortunately, winter is just around the corner, so we can only plan during the winter and start the renovations next spring!"

As they spoke, they all walked down the steps and headed towards the north door.

Upon approaching, Leilei sweetly greeted her grandparents and then introduced her parents.

Lingyun's parents were very polite and courteous to her grandparents.

They understood that today's scene represented the high regard that all the elders of the Ling family had for Leilei.

Even if Ling Yun and Lei Lei don't get married, in the eyes of Ling Yun's elders, Lei Lei is already considered a daughter-in-law of the Ling family, just without the marriage certificate!

Leilei's parents were very satisfied with this situation and the sincerity shown by Lingyun's parents and grandparents!

The slight resentment they had harbored vanished in the midst of laughter and chatter, as if it had never existed!

After a few casual words, everyone went into the living room of the north room, sat down on the sofa, and chatted while drinking tea.

Contrary to Lingyun and Leilei's assumptions, the two families' parents were talking about everyday matters, work, and life, not about the two of them.

The reason for this all stems from a single sentence uttered by Leilei's father.

The moment he settled down on the sofa, he smiled and said to his grandfather:

"Uncle Ling, we're here today to talk about Yunzi and Leilei. We'd like to have a good chat with you."

"It seems unnecessary now. Yunzi and Leilei are already adults, have been working for many years, and are capable of handling their own relationship issues."

"Children and grandchildren have their own destinies; we've decided not to interfere and let them handle these matters themselves."

Hearing this, Lingyun's parents secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn't be happier if it were like this, so why would they disagree?

Next, the elders of both sides chatted for a few minutes about Lingyun and Leilei, and then changed the subject to talk about everyday family matters.

This surprised both Lingyun and Leilei, but they then completely relaxed.

About forty minutes had passed as they were talking.

Everyone was having a great time chatting when my aunt suddenly pushed the door open and said that dinner was ready and invited everyone to the dining room.

Just then, Ling Yun's phone beeped.

He took out his phone, glanced at the text message he had just received, and quickly said to his mother:

"Mom, please take Uncle Gao and Auntie to the restaurant and have dinner with them first. I'll join them later."

"Deputy Director Zhang is coming to pick up the report materials in person. He'll be at the door in five minutes. I need to give him the report materials."

"There are some points in the materials that need special explanation, which will probably take a little time. You don't need to wait for me."

Hearing this, Dad, Mom, Aunt, and Leilei, who knew a little about the inside story, were all overjoyed!

Grandparents and Leilei's parents, who were unaware of the situation, were completely confused.

As soon as Lingyun finished speaking, his father immediately chimed in:

"I didn't expect Deputy Director Zhang to come. Please come in and have a meal with us, or at least have some tea and a chat. We can't be impolite!"

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head, then offered a few explanations.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Since Director Zhang came personally to pick up the report materials, it means he needs them urgently. He probably won't get out of his car for tea!"

"There are people coming and going outside, and his identity is sensitive, so it's not appropriate for him to get off here."

"That's right. Yunzi, go get the report materials and take them to Director Zhang. Don't worry about this."

Mom smiled and nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun nodded to Lei Lei's parents and turned to go to the east wing.

After he left the living room, Leilei's father asked curiously:

"Teacher Ling, is the Director Zhang that Yunzi mentioned the one from the General Office? We met him once before at the Poly Theatre."

"If it really is this Director Zhang, then should we send this report...?"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up and pointed upwards.

Lingyun's father smiled and nodded, then explained the situation.

"It was indeed Director Zhang from the General Office. Yunzi went to a meeting at Haizi this morning, and at the end of the meeting, she received an important task."

"After returning home, he kept writing a report, which needed to be sent to Da SZ, so Director Zhang came to pick it up in person!"

Upon hearing this answer, Leilei's parents both paused for a moment.

They quickly realized who this "Big SZ" that Lingyun's father was talking about was.

Thinking about this, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

They gained a new understanding of Lingyun's immense power and the level of contact he had with him.

the other side.

Ling Yun returned to his study, picked up the printed report materials and a new USB drive, and went to the first courtyard to meet up with Zhong Tao and the others. Together they walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.

Upon arriving at the main gate, Zhong Tao and his group went out first to check the situation outside.

Ling Yun stayed in the doorway, waiting for Director Zhang and the others to arrive.

After waiting for two or three minutes, a small convoy of cars slowly drove up and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard house.

After confirming that the middle car was Deputy Director Zhang's vehicle and the other two SUVs were escort vehicles, Zhong Tao notified Ling Yun to come out from the door.

As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard gate, Ling Yun immediately opened the back door of Deputy Director Zhang's car and quickly bent down to get in.

"Good evening, Director Zhang. I didn't expect you to come in person to pick up the report materials. If I had known, I should have delivered them to you!"

"This is the report I wrote. Due to time constraints, there are bound to be many shortcomings. I hope the leader will provide corrections so I can revise it promptly!"

After exchanging greetings, he handed the report materials and USB drive to Deputy Director Zhang.

Deputy Director Zhang took the materials and USB drive and nodded approvingly.

"Your efficiency is amazing, Xiao Ling! You completed this task in just a few hours. Excellent!"

"You know how important this report is. I wasn't comfortable letting someone else pick it up, so I brought someone over myself."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject.

"I'm here to pick up some materials, and I also have some new information to share with you: the participants in this global financial summit are not only the heads of state of the G20 member countries."

"It is now confirmed that major organizations such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the IMF, and the Financial Stability Forum will also participate in this financial summit."

"This shows that not only do countries around the world attach great importance to this global financial summit, but so do many international organizations, including the United Nations..."
