The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Just as Lingyun predicted, the international financial market and the international crude oil futures market took off in tandem that evening.

The US stock market closed up nearly 5% in the early hours, while the international crude oil futures market saw an even greater increase of 7.6%, with cheers and laughter filling the market.

However, the following Thursday brought no smiles to people's faces!

Around 6 a.m. China time, after the US stock market closed, the Federal Reserve suddenly issued a statement, pouring cold water on the entire national financial market.

The Federal Reserve issued a statement emphasizing that the downside risks to the global economy are significant, and the economic fundamentals remain fragile and have not improved significantly.

Following the release of this statement, the international financial markets, which had been performing well, suddenly came to a screeching halt and began to fluctuate and consolidate.

From the Asia-Pacific region to Europe and then to the Americas, stock markets in almost all countries and regions have turned from gains to losses, but fortunately the declines are not significant!

Crude oil futures prices surged and then retreated, beginning to fluctuate at high levels.

The following Friday, international financial markets and crude oil futures markets continued this trend, with both rises and falls, and continued to fluctuate and consolidate at high levels.

There is another reason why this happened.

That is, all institutional investors are waiting for the US election results before deciding on their next investment strategy!

Everyone understands that the international financial market will inevitably experience wild fluctuations before and after the US election results are announced!

It all depends on each person's judgment of the trends in international politics and financial markets. If the judgment is correct, they can make a fortune; if the judgment is wrong, they may lose everything!

at the same time.

As the US election day draws closer, the international financial markets are becoming increasingly sensitive and tense, with everyone on edge.

In this atmosphere, Saturday arrived.

It was 9:30 a.m. in the living room of the villa.

Lingyun and Leilei quickly tidied up and prepared to go to Leilei's parents' new home to celebrate the elderly couple's housewarming.

This so-called new home is the large courtyard house that Leilei just bought not long ago, in Dongsi!

Her parents had wanted to live in a courtyard house for a long time, and that courtyard house happened to be in good condition. It had been renovated in just a few years and had all the necessary living facilities.

In the past week or two, Leilei's father has added some high-end furniture and appliances to the courtyard house to improve their living conditions!

All preparations were complete, and the elderly couple officially moved into the large courtyard house yesterday. Today, they invited Lingyun and Leilei over for a housewarming party.

Besides them, Lingyun's parents and Da Meiyuan's family were also invited.

After having lunch in that courtyard house, Lingyun, Dameiyuan, and Leilei will go to a courtyard house in Houhai to visit their grandparents and stay overnight!

However, plans can't keep up with changes!

Just as Ling Yun was changing his shoes and preparing to leave, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly called.

Seeing the caller ID on his phone, Lingyun immediately answered the call.

"Xiaoling, where are you right now? Is it a convenient time to talk to you? There's something I want to tell you."

Deputy Director Zhang's voice came through the phone.

Hearing his tone, Ling Yun immediately realized.

He must have something very important to say, and he immediately nodded in response.

"Good morning, Director Zhang. I'm at home, just about to leave. There's no one else with me. What's the matter? I'm all ears!"

"Okay, it's fine to stay home."

Deputy Director Zhang replied, then changed the subject.

"If you don't have anything particularly important to say, then come to Haizi. Chairman Rong will be coming to Haizi later to report on the CITIC Pacific crisis."

"Didn't you say before that if you were to get involved in handling the CITIC Pacific crisis, you would have to have in-depth discussions with Chairman Rong beforehand? Today's opportunity is excellent."

"Besides that, SZ has a few other things to discuss with you, such as your analysis on Wednesday regarding the trends in international financial markets and the US election results..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's eyes lit up.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately nodded in response.

"No problem, Director Zhang, I'll change my clothes and leave right away, I'll be there in about half an hour!"

"I do need to have an in-depth discussion with Chairman Rong regarding solutions to the CITIC Pacific crisis."

"Even if I don't get involved, I believe this conversation will definitely be of great help in resolving the CITIC Pacific crisis smoothly!"

"Haha, you're as overconfident as ever."

Deputy Director Zhang laughed and then said:

"Okay, come over here. I'll pick you up at the west gate in half an hour. See you then."

"See you later"

Ling Yun replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately turned to look at Leilei.

"Honey, I have to go to the lake to report to SZ and meet with a very important person, so I can't come to the greenhouse with you!"

"If the report and meeting end early, and there are no other arrangements in SZ, I will head to Dongsi as soon as possible to hold a housewarming party for you and your aunt and uncle."

"If I really can't make it today, I'll go tomorrow. Please explain to me when you get there. Thank you for your understanding, Uncle and Aunt."

As he spoke, he leaned down and kissed Leilei on the cheek.

Leilei chuckled softly and said gently:

"Go to Haizi and report to SZ. That's the important thing. You can come to the housewarming party anytime. My parents aren't outsiders; there's no need to be so polite!"

"My parents know that you were going to report to Shenzhen, which is why you couldn't get to Dongsi in time. They won't be angry at all; on the contrary, they'll be proud."

She said this with an air of pride.

"What a thoughtful little darling. Come upstairs with me to change your clothes, and we'll set off together. We'll separate when we get to the vicinity of Dongsi."

Ling Yun smiled and gently stroked Lei Lei's pretty face.

After saying this, he immediately called Zhong Tao and asked him to arrange vehicles and security personnel at the first opportunity.

Then I went upstairs with Leilei to change my clothes!

I'll be going to the lake to report on my work and meet with Chairman Rong later, so I naturally need to dress formally.

For the past two decades, Mr. Rong has lived on Hong Kong Island, and his mannerisms have inevitably become somewhat Hong Kong-style, with a strong emphasis on etiquette.

Moreover, given his unique background, he has always been quite concerned about such matters.

Ten minutes later, Ling Yun changed into a well-tailored suit and tied his tie before taking Lei Lei downstairs, leaving the luxurious villa by car.

About twenty minutes later, he arrived safely at the West Gate of Haizi on Fuyou Street and met up with Deputy Director Zhang inside the gate.

Then we changed to another car and drove into the depths of the lake.

As they walked, Deputy Director Zhang quietly explained the arrangements and situation for the day.

"Let's go to SZ's office first. You'll report to SZ, and this time you'll be reporting to more than just one SZ official!"

"Around 11 o'clock, Chairman Rong and the person in charge of CITIC will come to report on their work. After they finish their report, you can meet with Chairman Rong."

"Let me give you a heads-up: Chairman Rong is preparing to step down, and some key personnel at CITIC Pacific will have to take responsibility for their mistakes."

"When you meet and chat with Chairman Rong later, don't hold back. You can directly point out the various problems that CITIC Pacific currently faces."

"Chairman Rong has weathered many storms and his vision is impeccable. If he didn't even have this much magnanimity, he would never have reached the heights he has today."

Ling Yun chuckled softly, then nodded.

"Thank you for reminding me. I will pay attention to these issues and will definitely answer all your questions to the best of my ability!"

"Regarding the current problems facing CITIC Pacific, as I said before, with the right strategy, all losses can be completely recovered!"

As they spoke, they arrived at the building where Vice President Wang's office was located.

The car stopped in front of the building, and Lingyun and Deputy Director Zhang got out together and walked into the building with ease!
