The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In the blink of an eye, Ling Yun had packed his things.

Then we lined up with everyone and disembarked from the private jet in the pre-arranged order.

This is a top-level diplomatic occasion, so naturally everything must be done at the highest level.

The first to disembark from the special plane, appear before the welcoming crowd and journalists from major media outlets around the world, and showcase the image of a major power, was naturally...

After he and his wife walked down the steps, the other members of the delegation were able to line up and disembark one by one.

Although Ling Yun was not part of the system, he was quite close to the front of the line to disembark, following closely behind Chairman Lou and the Director of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, and disembarked with Yi Xing.

No one was surprised by this ranking.

Over the past ten-plus hours of long-haul flight, everyone could clearly see how much importance Ling Yun received from those people at the front of the cabin.

Those in the delegation who knew the inside story were even more aware of how amazing his performance had been over those dozen hours and how important his role was in the delegation.

It could even be said that his role was indispensable.

Like Ling Yun, the rest of the delegation stood up and stared at the front of the cabin.

Just then, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly strode over.

He went straight to Ling Yun, smiled, and said to him:

"Xiao Ling, come to the front and get ready to disembark early to start your work as a financial translator. Do your best."

"Unlike in the past, today's airport pick-up party included not only the US Secretary of State and Treasury Secretary, but also several high-ranking figures from the financial sector."

"No one knows these high-ranking figures in the US financial world better than you. Your financial expertise is very solid, which is why we need you to disembark early, just in case."

As he said this, his eyes and words betrayed a deep sense of envy.

"brush!"

All the other delegation members around looked over, each with eyes full of envy.

Ling Yun was also taken aback for a moment before nodding in response.

"Okay, Director Zhang, I'll go with you."

After saying that, he picked up his briefcase and backpack and followed Deputy Director Zhang forward.

Upon arriving at the cabin door, Deputy Director Zhang instructed Ling Yun to hand over the items in her hands to an office staff member, and then whispered a few words of advice.

Then we stood together inside the cabin, waiting in line to disembark.

A moment later, the man and his wife arrived at the cabin door, ready to exit the aircraft.

Seeing Ling Yun standing on the other side of the cabin door, they smiled and nodded at him.

"Xiao Ling, this is your first time participating in this kind of foreign affairs activity. Don't be nervous, just do your best."

"Thank you for your concern, SZ. I will adjust my mindset."

Ling Yun nodded in agreement.

"Very good, Xiao Ling, you have the air of a great leader!"

The lady nodded in approval.

"You flatter me; I am unworthy of such praise."

Ling Yun said politely again.

Seeing this, Deputy Director Zhang and several other members of the delegation standing behind him looked even more envious.

On the other side, Vice President Wang and the others nodded approvingly.

As they spoke, the ground was already prepared.

The security chief inside the cabin responded quickly and, after obtaining consent, ordered the cabin door to be opened.

After the cabin door was fully opened, he paused for a moment, then walked to the cabin door first and then went out.

What happened next is left to your imagination.

A few minutes later, Ling Yun followed the bigwigs out of the cabin.

As soon as he appeared, many people in the welcoming team below the gangway paused for a moment, their eyes filled with surprise.

The main problem is that he is too young and has an unfamiliar face; hardly anyone recognizes him.

They were all very curious about who this person was, that someone so young could stand in such an important position.

Paulson and Geithner, who were standing at the front of the welcoming crowd, were not included.

Even though they knew Ling Yun and that he was in this prestigious delegation, they never expected him to appear so early.

Once he realized what was happening, Paulson immediately turned to Geithner and exchanged a glance, both of them looking shocked and serious.

"This is that amazing kid. He looks even more handsome and energetic than in the photos. His position within the Chinese delegation is clearly higher than we thought!"

"That's right, we underestimated this prodigy. He might just make a name for himself at this financial summit!"

After a few whispered words, Paulson whispered a reminder to the US Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State knew of Ling Yun's existence, but he didn't know what he looked like. Now he has finally met the true god.

Like Paulson and the others, Ling Yun's early exit from the cabin was also somewhat unexpected.

Paulson and his colleagues were well aware of the importance of the order of appearance in international political exchanges, especially in high-profile diplomatic occasions.

That's why they were immediately certain that Ling Yun was carrying a heavy responsibility on this trip with the delegation.

Meanwhile, numerous Chinese and foreign media reporters covering the event, as well as countless viewers watching the live broadcast, all asked the same question.

"Huh! Who is this person? Coming out so early, I've never seen them before, and they're so young, are they even thirty?"

"Wow! At this age, in such an important occasion, in such a prominent position—even if you rode a rocket to get here, it wouldn't be this exaggerated!"

"Can anyone tell me who this person is? What is their position, and why are they here? I watch the news every day, did they miss something?"

Just as everyone was discussing this, the morning news anchor suddenly began to introduce Ling Yun's identity.

"Now stepping out of the cabin is Ling Yun, a member of the Financial Stability and Development Committee, followed closely by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission..."

This single sentence immediately caused quite a stir in front of countless television sets across the country.

"My goodness, such a young member of the Financial Stability and Development Committee? Did I hear that right? Is it true?"

"My God! Even though it's only one sentence in the introduction, this resume is absolutely terrifying!"

"What does it mean to be a chosen one of heaven? Today I've truly witnessed it; it's an eye-opener!"

In Beijing, at Houhai, a large courtyard house.

Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom were all dumbfounded as they watched Lingyun walk down the gangway step by step in the live broadcast.

It wasn't until Lingyun stepped off the gangway and walked quickly toward the person that his grandparents realized what was happening.

"Mom, am I seeing things? Yunzi actually got off the plane so early! I never even dreamed of such treatment!"

My mother held my grandmother's arm, her voice trembling with excitement.

Looking at Grandma again, she was already smiling so broadly her eyes were almost closed.

She lightly patted her mother's hand and said jokingly:

"I'm not seeing things, so how could you be? That's right, that's Yunzi, no doubt about it!"

"Yunzi had said before that he wanted to keep a low profile during his trip to Washington, but with this event, how could he possibly have the chance to keep a low profile?"

Before he could finish speaking, Dad immediately chimed in with a smile.

"You're right, Yunzi has really gone too far in the spotlight. Countless people will soon dig into his identity and past experiences, and he won't be able to keep a low profile even if he wanted to!"

While they were discussing this, Ling Yun had already walked behind the client and quickly assumed the role of a financial translator.

He then remained standing slightly to the left of the center of the live stream, focusing intently on his work.

Countless eyes, both at home and abroad, were fixed on him, their gazes burning with curiosity!
