The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

The call was from Chairman Zhao. After exchanging greetings, he immediately got to the point.

"Wang Mian from the Hong Kong Island branch just called me, saying that Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd called him personally, and the target was directly you."

"Laurde somehow got wind of your plans to attend the Global Financial Summit in Washington, so he called Wang Mian, hoping to establish contact with you through him."

"On the phone, Lauderto Wang Mian relayed a message to you that he would like to meet with you after your arrival in Washington, to get to know each other and discuss cooperation..."

Next, Chairman Zhao gave a brief introduction to the content of Lauder's phone call.

During the phone call, the guy once again mentioned his desire to poach Ling Yun to work at Goldman Sachs headquarters.

To achieve this goal, Lloyd even made promises.

We could consider giving Lingyun the highest salary and benefits at Goldman Sachs, which would be twice his own salary.

Even more enticing was his promise that if Lingyun worked at Goldman Sachs headquarters for two years and delivered outstanding investment results, he would receive Goldman Sachs stock options and a significant salary increase!

This offer is extremely tempting; few people could resist it!

Unfortunately, Ling Yun was one of them.

After Chairman Zhao finished explaining the situation, he thought for a moment, then let out a few disdainful sneers.

"Heh, I'm sure those bastards at Goldman Sachs are up to no good. All those top-notch benefits they promised me are probably just empty promises."

"It's no surprise that Lauder learned I was going to the Washington financial summit. Paulson and Goldman Sachs are in cahoots; it was probably Paulson who leaked the information."

"The U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are the organizers of this global financial summit. Our delegation will be attending, and team members will need to apply for U.S. visas. The list of team members needs to be submitted to the U.S. Embassy."

"In this situation, Paulson would be able to grasp the composition of the delegation immediately, especially since he had previously mentioned to Vice President Wang in a phone call that he hoped I could participate in this financial summit."

"In this situation, of course he knows who I am, so he'll tell Lauder that I'm going to Washington. But it's okay, you have your clever plan, and I'll find a way to work it out!"

"When you call back to Laud, tell Wang Mian to be ambiguous and say that he will consider meeting with Laud, but has not made a decision immediately, and ask Laud to wait a little longer..."

Upon hearing this, Chairman Zhao chuckled.

"Haha, I'm familiar with this tactic. It's all about stalling. Ideally, we should wait until the end of this global financial summit before rejecting Lloyd's request."

"Before that, we need to give Lauder a glimmer of hope, so that he will hesitate and not be so resolute when making other arrangements."

"By the time he realizes what's happening and tries to change his strategy or make other arrangements to deal with you, it will be too late. By then, you should already be back in the capital, and there's no need to pay him any attention..."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Yun also laughed.

"Haha, that's exactly what I mean. It seems our teamwork is getting better and better."

After discussing this matter for a while, Lingyun took the initiative to change the subject.

He briefed Chairman Zhao on the situation in the international financial market, specifically mentioning that a technical rebound in the international financial market today was a foregone conclusion.

Just let Yuanda Group execute its established investment strategy. If the international financial market surges beyond expectations and exceeds the liquidation line set by Lingyun, then immediately liquidate the position and exit the market to lock in a wave of long-term profits.

Then patiently wait for the international financial market to correct. Once the international financial market corrects to a reasonable range, then go long again.

If the opportunity arises during this period, you can even short the market again to recoup your losses!

If the technical rebound in international financial markets is as expected, then hold your positions and wait for the rebound to reach its peak before reaping the rewards!

Chairman Zhao naturally accepted all of his suggestions without questioning them in the slightest.

After hanging up the phone, Lingyun placed it on the coffee table by the pool.

Then he jumped into the pool and continued swimming, exercising, and playing with Alyssa Chia!

Since there was no one else in the pool, the two of them were very relaxed!

After swimming for a short while, the atmosphere in the pool gradually became more and more enchanting and sensual.

On the rippling blue water, several thin swimsuits floated, including a sexy bikini and a pair of men's swim trunks.

Lingyun and Jia Jingwen finished their morning exercise and returned to the living room on the first floor around 7:40.

As they walked into the living room in their swimsuits, like conjoined twins, Da Meiyuan happened to be coming out of the dining room.

Since Lingyun doesn't need to go to the CIC headquarters to oversee things today, he can direct operations remotely from home.

Da Mei Yuan and Jia Jingwen don't need to go to the company either; they plan to stay home with him, so there's no need to prepare breakfast too early.

While Lingyun and Jia Jingwen were swimming in the morning, Da Meiyuan made a simple breakfast for the three of them to eat together.

Upon seeing Ling Yun and the others enter the living room, she immediately said in surprise:

"Why is your morning exercise session taking so long today? About twenty minutes longer than usual. Go upstairs to shower and change, then come down for breakfast..."

She had just finished speaking when she suddenly realized...

Jia Jingwen looked like she was in the throes of spring, with several red hickeys on her body, clearly just covered up.

Da Meiyuan knows the details of this mansion better than anyone!

She instantly understood what had just happened in the heated swimming pool.

She then rolled her eyes at him and started giggling.

"You two really don't waste a single moment! You can't even concentrate on your morning exercise. Aren't you being a bit too unruly?"

Amy Chia blushed slightly, then smiled and nodded.

"Now that you're pregnant, I have to hurry up and try to catch up with you as soon as possible, and also get pregnant with Yunzi's baby."

"Besides, there are only the three of us here in the main building, so it's very safe. Of course, I should make the most of such a great opportunity for morning exercise."

Hearing her answer, Da Meiyuan was stunned.

Then, she shook her head in an annoyed tone.

"Yunzi, your woman is completely obsessed. All she can think about now is getting pregnant and having a baby. Looks like you'll have to work even harder!"

Ling Yun turned and kissed Jia Jingwen on the cheek, then nodded with a smile.

"I need to work twice as hard, otherwise they'll blame me for favoring you too much and only giving you special attention!"

After exchanging a few jokes and flirtations, he took Jia Jingwen upstairs to wash up and change clothes.

About fourteen or fifteen minutes later, they finished showering and changing their clothes, and went downstairs together to the restaurant.

It was already past eight in the morning.

Upon entering the restaurant, Ling Yun immediately picked up the remote and turned on the TV, switching to the financial channel, intending to watch financial news while having breakfast.

As luck would have it, the financial news was broadcasting real-time updates on the Asia-Pacific financial markets at that very moment.

Everything went exactly as Ling Yun had predicted. The Japanese and South Korean stock markets opened with a gap up and continued to rise, surging all the way up.

In just over ten minutes, the Japanese stock market had risen by about 3%, and the South Korean stock market had risen by about 2%.

Seeing this expected situation, a smile flashed across Ling Yun's eyes.

Then, he pulled out a chair and sat down next to Da Meiyuan, gently took her hand, and stroked it tenderly a few times.

He was being intimate with Alyssa Chia in the master bedroom upstairs from the swimming pool, so now it's time for him to be intimate with Alyssa Chia too, so she won't overthink it.

Before we knew it, it was afternoon.

In the study, Ling Yun sat behind his desk, analyzing international crude oil futures prices.

Just then, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly called.

As soon as the call connected, he excitedly said:

"Lingyun, a major piece of intelligence has just arrived from New York, which may trigger another surge in the international financial markets. Your decision yesterday to completely reverse from short to long positions was simply a stroke of genius..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ling Yun's lips curled up in a smile.

Otherwise, what do you think? You don't think I'm interested in today's small increase, do you?
