The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

I slept soundly through the night and woke up early Saturday morning.

The first thing Ling Yun did after being woken up by the alarm clock was to grab her phone from the bedside table and take a look.

Unsurprisingly, my phone showed seven or eight missed calls and many unread text messages.

It's nighttime in the US, which is daytime in China. Given the series of events that have occurred in the past two days, it's perfectly normal to receive so many phone calls and text messages.

This is only because Lingyun changed his phone number. If he had continued using his old phone number, the number of missed calls and unread text messages would probably be many times higher than it is now.

Among these missed calls and unread text messages were calls or text messages from Da Meiyuan and others, as well as two text messages from Li Wen.

Looking at the missed calls and text messages, Ling Yun simply smiled but didn't reply to any of them.

Then I turned off my cell phone, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Around seven o'clock in the morning, he changed his clothes and left his room to have breakfast at the designated restaurant with several members of the delegation.

When they entered the restaurant, more than a third of the delegation members were already dining there.

Upon seeing Ling Yun enter, Deputy Director Zhang, who was sitting at a table not far away, smiled and nodded at him.

It was a perfectly normal greeting, but Ling Yun understood the underlying meaning.

His previous actions, which he attempted to use Li Wen's parents to sabotage Goldman Sachs and Lloyd, should have already begun, and he may now be facing serious trouble.

Although he was very curious about the progress of the operation, Ling Yun did not go to Deputy Director Zhang to inquire about the situation.

He simply smiled and nodded in acknowledgment, then sat down at the table and began to enjoy the meal prepared by the delegation's chef.

At 8:30 a.m., he set off again with his primary service recipients and other important members of the delegation to the main venue of the financial summit, the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

He had a clear feeling the moment the convoy left the hotel.

Compared to yesterday, the Chinese delegation received significantly more attention and special treatment.

The significant increase in the number of escort vehicles around the convoy, the higher level of security along the route, and the stricter blockade measures on the streets it passed through are all clues to the situation.

The arrival of the motorcade at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., with its large crowd of media reporters and the highest-level welcoming ceremony, is the best proof of this.

As soon as the convoy came to a stop, Ling Yun immediately stepped out of the car and walked quickly to the person he was primarily responsible for serving, ready to get to work at any moment.

Seeing him approach, the man smiled and nodded slightly.

"Xiao Ling, I'm sure you've realized it too. Judging from today's scene, our series of strategies have been very successful and yielded remarkable results!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly and responded in a low voice:

"The international financial market was critically ill. Our massive bailout plan and a series of reform proposals have been a shot in the arm for the entire market, which is why we are where we are today."

"Haha, you're right, the performance was even more spectacular!"

SZ smiled and gently patted Lingyun's shoulder.

Before we knew it, everyone had gotten off the bus.

They then walked together onto the red carpet, chatting and laughing as they headed toward the museum's main entrance.

At the main entrance, the current Vice President of the United States, along with Paulson, Bernanke, and others, was waiting to welcome everyone.

Meanwhile, numerous media reporters gathered on both sides of the red carpet eagerly asked questions.

The reporters primarily targeted the man at the front and Vice President Wang, but some others also set their sights on Ling Yun.

"Hello, Mr. Ling, I'm a reporter from The Wall Street Journal. Many people are calling you a newly crowned stock market guru. What's your opinion on this title?"

"Warren Buffett, the world's most recognized stock market guru for the past few decades, also attended this financial summit. Did you two, the veteran and the rising stars, exchange ideas, or did you simply avoid each other?"

"Good morning, Mr. Lingyun. I'm a reporter from Columbia Television's financial channel. Our station would like to invite you for an exclusive interview. Is that alright?"

"According to relevant financial media reports, you are one of the biggest winners in the international financial market since the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, reportedly making tens of billions of dollars. Is this figure accurate?"

"Hello, Mr. Ling, I'm a reporter from TVB's financial channel. Are you the mastermind behind Yuanda Investment? Could you provide some background information?"

As this series of questions was posed, gasps of amazement immediately rang out from the audience.

People turned to look at Ling Yun, filled with curiosity, envy, jealousy, and resentment!

Even some members of the Chinese delegation looked at Ling Yun with amazement and curiosity in their eyes.

Looking at Ling Yun, however, he seemed completely unaffected.

Without changing his expression or skipping a beat, he followed closely beside the primary person he was serving, walking steadily toward the main entrance of the museum.

He completely ignored the noise coming from the surroundings.

In a short while, they arrived at the museum entrance.

Several high-ranking American political figures who were waiting there immediately came forward, warmly shook hands, and greeted each other.

During this process, both the vice president, Paulson, and Bernanke paid special attention to Ling Yun, who was standing by as the translator.

However, due to the special occasion, they did not shake hands or greet Ling Yun.

After going through these formalities, Lingyun followed the primary service recipients and other members of the delegation into the museum.

Vice President Wang and Yi Xing, among others, stayed outside to be interviewed by reporters from various media outlets in the interview area.

During the interview, another reporter asked about Ling Yun.

This includes questions about the veracity of the hype surrounding the newly minted stock market guru and the claim that he made billions of dollars in just six months.

Vice President Wang and his team did not give direct answers to these questions.

They simply smiled and told all the reporters that Ling Yun was just one of the members of the delegation, and that his other identities were not important here.

As for his personal wealth, that's his privacy, and no one has the right to ask.

While answering these questions, Vice President Wang and the others couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

Making billions of dollars in half a year, who do you think you are? If this kid's true net worth were revealed, it would absolutely shock everyone!

After completing the routine interview with media reporters, Vice President Wang and his team left the interview area and walked into the modern museum.

The closing meeting of the financial summit officially began at 9:30 a.m.

At 11:00 a.m., the summit officially released two announcements: the "Declaration of the Financial Markets and World Economy Summit" and the "Action Plan for Reform in Five Areas".

These two announcements are mainly divided into two sections: short-term emergency measures and medium- and long-term institutional reforms.

In the summit declaration, all parties reached a consensus on the causes and root causes of this global financial crisis!

By acknowledging that the root of the crisis lay in developed economies and Wall Street, the attempt by developed Western countries to smear emerging market countries was thwarted.

It also identified four core commitments to work together to rescue the market and stabilize growth, resolutely resist trade protectionism, reshape the global financial regulatory framework, and reform the international financial governance architecture, among others.

These four core promises are the same as in the previous life, but there are many differences in the specific details.

Anyone who attended this global financial summit and paid even a little attention could see a lot of Chinese influence in this declaration.

Warren Buffett, the legendary investor, and Timothy Geithner, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, are undoubtedly two seasoned professionals.

Just as these two announcements caused a huge sensation, they held copies of the announcements and unconsciously frowned.

"Now I'm starting to wonder if this global financial summit is really being held in Washington, D.C. Could it be in Beijing, China?"

"I feel the same way. The Chinese delegation was too well-prepared, while we seriously underestimated them, resulting in a crushing defeat."
