The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

The first day of the meeting concluded successfully at 5 p.m.

After the SZ members on the stage left, everyone packed up their things and left the venue in small groups.

As they walked, many people chatted quietly in curiosity.

"Who exactly wrote that proposal that we discussed in detail this afternoon? It was truly brilliant; many of the suggestions were absolutely ingenious."

"Who can argue with that! Moreover, this proposal is incredibly bold and innovative. The suggestion to drastically loosen monetary policy and use large-scale infrastructure investment to stimulate national economic development is truly brilliant, and few people would dare to propose it!"

"To be honest, I'd really like to meet this proposal representative. It's clear that he not only has a deep understanding of the domestic financial market, but also of the international financial market. Few people can match the depth of his research on this financial crisis."

Hearing the lively discussions around him, Ling Yun, who was walking out with President Xie and the others, couldn't hide his pride, and his steps became lighter than usual.

The people following behind, including General Manager Xie, all had smiles on their faces and their eyes were full of admiration.

Compared to the others in the venue, they knew more about Ling Yun and how amazing he was.

They had long suspected that this sensational, highly innovative, and daring proposal must have come from Ling Yun.

Besides Ling Yun, they really couldn't think of anyone else who had such a deep understanding of the international financial market and could come up with such a brilliant proposal!

Ling Yun's behavior at this moment undoubtedly proved that their guess was very correct.

But they just smiled at each other and didn't say anything more. The string of secrecy in each of their minds was taut!

In the blink of an eye, everyone had left the venue and arrived at the foyer outside.

Just then, the office secretary who had previously taken Ling Yun to the lounge to meet Vice President Wang reappeared and went straight to Ling Yun.

After exchanging greetings, the secretary pulled Ling Yun aside and whispered to him:

"Knowing that you have a very important personal matter, and it is a joyous occasion, SZ specifically asked me to convey his congratulations and has granted you special permission to skip the later group dinner and the evening's group discussion."

"You don't need to stay at the designated hotel; you can go home and share this joyous occasion with your family. Just come to the meeting on time tomorrow morning..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Yun's eyes were already filled with surprise and delight.

Because his phone wasn't with him, he still doesn't know the results of Da Meiyuan's pregnancy test, and he keeps worrying about it.

Upon hearing Vice President Wang's words relayed by his secretary, he instantly understood.

The pregnancy test results were as she had hoped; Da Meiyuan was indeed pregnant.

Ling Yun was not surprised at all that Vice President Wang found out about the result so quickly, and that he knew about his relationship with Da Meiyuan!

How many secrets can an ordinary person keep in the face of a massive and efficient state apparatus?

Moreover, he himself, the person who was the focus of attention and protection, had already been investigated discreetly, and his ancestors for eighteen generations had been dug up more than once.

As for his relationship with Da Meiyuan and Leilei, it has already been registered with the relevant departments, so it's no longer a secret!

As soon as the office secretary finished speaking, Ling Yun immediately nodded in response:

"Thank you for your concern, SZ. I'll chat with a few friends for a bit, then drive home. I won't be late for tomorrow's meeting."

Okay, see you tomorrow.

The secretary in the General Office said with a smile.

He then turned and left to report back.

Ling Yun waved to him, then turned and walked toward Chairman Zhao and President Wang who were waiting on the side.

Upon approaching and greeting everyone, he immediately clasped his hands in a respectful gesture of respect.

"I'm very sorry, I can't chat with everyone any longer, and I won't be able to have dinner with you all later either. I have some very important personal matters to attend to."

"The plan to have dinner and catch up with everyone will have to be arranged for tomorrow night. I'll be hosting a dinner tomorrow night and treat everyone to some Beijing specialties."

"Unless you have something extremely important that requires you to return to Shanghai immediately, please do us the honor of joining us tomorrow night."

The people in front of him were all from the headquarters of Yuanda Group.

They might be old friends and leaders like Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang, or senior executives and senior economists of the group, etc.

They all knew Ling Yun and knew that he had already soared to great heights and was no longer the same as before!

More importantly, they had just seen clearly how much Ling Yun was valued by the higher-ups!

After what just happened, which of them wasn't envious?

Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang, who were more familiar with the inside story, were even more shocked.

Faced with Ling Yun's warm invitation, how could they possibly refuse?

"No problem, Lingyun. You go and take care of your own business first. We won't be in a hurry to leave after the meeting tomorrow."

"I have to go to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission on Monday to report to Director Li. I'll have some time then, so I'll treat you to a big meal."

Chairman Zhao said politely.

Following closely behind, President Wang and the others all spoke up and accepted Ling Yun's invitation.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ling Yun took his leave and turned to walk towards Professor Xu, who was watching the commotion from the other side.

Watching his departing figure, the chief economist of Yuanda Group couldn't help but utter a few words of reflection.

"I still can't quite believe it. In just about six months, Ling Yun has reached such a level. It's simply unbelievable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a senior executive from Broad Group chimed in with a sigh:

"For conferences of this level, delegates are all housed and participate in group activities. I've never heard of anyone being able to stay in their own home and move around freely!"

"Ling Yun is the first person I've ever seen enjoy this kind of special treatment. This shows how highly he's regarded by the higher-ups, and his future achievements are bound to be even more astonishing."

Chairman Zhao turned to look at them, then smiled and said in a low voice:

"Extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and Ling Yun is that extraordinary person. Given his enormous contributions, he deserves any form or level of special treatment!"

"We don't need to envy him here. To put it somewhat discouragingly, in terms of financial investment, we will never reach his level in our entire lives."

"But as long as we maintain a close working relationship with him and take advantage of his momentum, we will definitely achieve even greater success. That's what we should be doing."

The other executives exchanged smiles and nodded in unison.

They then walked toward the hall entrance while chatting in hushed tones.

They still have a lot to do!

Once they reached the plaza outside, they were to be interviewed by reporters to discuss the Yuanda Group's activities and the takeaways from today's meeting.

After returning to their hotel and having dinner, they will participate in group discussions and prepare for tomorrow's meeting.

They can only relax and rest around 9:30 p.m.

On the other side, after greeting Professor Xu, Ling Yun briefly introduced himself.

He recounted what happened in Shanghai, including how he helped Yuanda Group and Boss Jin turn their fortunes around and make a fortune.

These things are no longer a secret among the upper echelons of China's financial circles, and I can tell Professor Xu about them.

After recounting these matters, Ling Yun went on to describe what he had done after returning to the capital.

Many of these matters must be kept strictly confidential, so naturally, they cannot be told to Professor Xu.

Ling Yun could only say that he was lucky enough to catch the timing of the subprime crisis and the financial crisis, and that he correctly predicted the rise and fall of international crude oil futures, making a fortune from the international financial market. His words were full of subtle and euphemistic language!

The only thing I could barely talk about was the matter of establishing my own investment company.

Even so, Professor Xu was stunned into silence, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.

After introducing herself, Lingyun gave Professor Xu her new phone number.

As Professor Xu pulled out a piece of paper to write down his phone number, he couldn't help but mutter a few words of reflection.

"I truly didn't expect that you could reach such a level just two or three years after graduation, leaving your classmates far behind!"

"As your graduate advisor, I am truly proud of you. Without exaggeration, you are the most outstanding graduate student I have ever mentored."

"By the way, that Mr. Liu you mentioned earlier, it seems he went bankrupt. Apparently, he went bankrupt trading crude oil futures. Will that affect you?"

Ling Yun paused for a moment, then shook his head dismissively.

"Don't worry, the man surnamed Liu brought this upon himself. He has no choice but to suffer the consequences. It's all his own fault, and no one can save him."
