The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After being reminded by Deputy Director Zhang, Lingyun didn't rush to call her mother, but instead sent a text message to let her know she was safe.

Then I took out my change of clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Meanwhile, Paulson was driving to the White House to prepare for tonight's presidential welcome dinner.

Not long after the convoy left the hotel, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller was an old friend of Lloyd's, and he seemed rather impatient.

After the call connected and a few pleasantries were exchanged, Lloyd immediately asked about the matter he was most concerned about.

"Henry, I just watched the live news broadcast of your welcoming of the Chinese delegation. I saw that amazing kid surnamed Ling, and I also saw you shaking hands and exchanging words with him."

"I have to say, this kid is so young it's almost enviable, and he's quite handsome too, a real heartthrob. What was your impression of him when you shook hands and chatted with him just now?"

"Is this kid just a nameless bum with no substance, or a genuine investment genius? You mentioned before that you were going to invite him for a private meeting; did he accept the invitation?"

Fuck, you really know how to rub salt in the wound!

Paulson's face darkened, and he cursed under his breath.

He paused briefly before responding.

"I did see this amazing kid, and I even exchanged a few words with him. Lloyd, this kid is far smarter and more troublesome than we thought."

"This guy came to Washington to attend this financial summit as a financial translator with the Chinese delegation, but I'm sure he also has a hidden identity as a senior financial advisor."

"From our limited interactions, I can tell that this kid is meticulous and flawless in his work. He has a very clear understanding of his own position and never oversteps the boundaries in his words or actions."

"I just tried to lure him into crossing the line, but the kid reacted quickly and refused in the most reasonable way. Then I invited him to talk privately, but he refused on the spot without hesitation. He's not going to fall for it."

His reasoning was that, as a member of the delegation, he had to focus on his work, cared nothing about anything outside of work, and would not meet or hold talks with anyone outside the delegation in his personal capacity.

"This little rascal refused so decisively that I was a bit embarrassed. As for his skills in the field of financial investment, we can't confirm them for now, but I'm sure this kid is probably more capable than we know..."

Upon hearing Paulson's words, Lold on the other end of the phone couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

After Paulson finished explaining the situation, he remained silent for a moment before giving his response.

"It seems I need to pay more attention to this little rascal. He's not only a genius in financial investment, but he also has a great talent for politics."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a high position at such a young age, and in such a crucial department as the Financial Stability and Development Committee, which is China's top think tank."

"But I have a way to deal with this prodigy. Two people are coming to Washington tomorrow, and their relationship with him is unusual. I can use them."

Upon hearing this, Paulson's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked for more details.

After a moment's hesitation, Lauder began to explain the situation.

They chatted for a while longer, and as the call was about to end, Paulson gave another reminder.

"This prodigy will definitely attend tonight's welcome dinner hosted by the head of state, as well as the small-scale consultations that follow."

"When you see him, you can catch a glimpse of this kid and chat with him if you have the chance, to find out what he's really like."

"Okay, I've been wanting to meet this amazing kid."

Lauder responded with a smile.

Afterwards, they ended the call and went about their own business.

in the hotel.

Ling Yun, who had just finished showering and changing clothes, reached out and touched his slightly warm ears, and chuckled as he made a few comments.

"Damn! More and more people are eyeing me. Ever since the private jet landed, my ears haven't stopped ringing."

As he spoke, he casually picked up the TV remote, turned on the TV, switched to the financial channel, and began watching the latest financial news.

Because the security check is not yet complete, he cannot use his laptop to access the internet, lest the technicians arranged by the United States hack into his computer.

Even though he brought a clean new computer, we still need to be careful, since the computer contains some information about the financial summit.

As for whether there are spies planted by the United States and other countries, as well as highly skilled hackers, in this five-star hotel, is there even a question?

From the moment the Chinese delegation arrived at the hotel, countless eyes were undoubtedly watching their every move, eager to analyze every single action of each member of the delegation frame by frame.

Those spies and hackers, who have been preparing for who knows how long, must have already been lurking in the hotel's surveillance system and network, waiting for their chance to strike.

In this situation, all members of the delegation, including Ling Yun, must be cautious.

Especially when using the internet, never use the network resources provided by the hotel without first ensuring its security.

Compared to the internet, completely public television programs are undoubtedly much safer.

The TV was definitely checked during the previous two security checks, so there's basically no need to worry about any problems.

Through NBC's financial news reports, Lingyun quickly grasped the latest developments in the international financial market.

Today's international financial market trends are basically as he predicted.

Driven by the super rally in US stocks last night, global stock markets are following suit with a surge today, including commodity trading markets and international crude oil futures markets, showing a remarkable momentum.

The Asia-Pacific financial markets, in particular, closed early yesterday, missing the peak of the US stock market's surge, but opened earliest today, just in time to take over from the US stock market's surge at the close.

From the opening bell this morning, all major stock markets in the Asia-Pacific financial markets opened sharply higher and continued to rise, ultimately closing with a surge.

Among them, the stock markets in Japan and South Korea, as well as Hong Kong, all saw gains exceeding 4%, with the financial sector experiencing even more dramatic increases.

However, when European stock markets opened in the afternoon, the international financial markets diverged.

European stock markets also opened sharply higher, but failed to maintain the upward trend seen in Asia-Pacific financial markets.

In just over an hour, European stock markets, which had been performing very well, suddenly turned downwards, quickly falling to near the zero line, and then began to fluctuate around the zero line.

The trends in international commodity trading markets and crude oil futures markets are quite similar to those in stock markets around the world, rising initially and then falling rapidly.

Seeing this, Ling Yun's lips curled up slightly, his face full of smiles.

However, he did not call or go online to check the operations of the investment teams.

According to his pre-determined operational strategy, as long as the decision-makers of each investment team do not act arbitrarily or make reckless decisions, they are sure to make a fortune today.

Moreover, they will quickly close their positions and exit the market after the Asia-Pacific financial markets and European stock markets reach relatively high points, locking in huge profits from this long position.

After a brief period of fluctuation, once the US stock market opens tonight, another exciting show will unfold as scheduled.

In no time, Lingyun had grasped the basic situation of the international financial market.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ling Yun walked quickly to the door and casually opened it.

Outside.

Deputy Director Zhang stood at the door with two special agents, each carrying a case of equipment.

Clearly, they were there for security checks.
