The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

During the closed-door discussion with Director Peng, Ling Yun explained the purpose of her trip to Hong Kong and the tasks she was assigned.

Director Peng is in the know, and there's no need to hide these things from him.

Moreover, many of the preparatory work related to this mission was handled through the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

For example, equipping Lingyun's top-tier mansion with security and service personnel, and helping Lingyun secretly acquire financial investment companies, etc.

Ten minutes passed quickly as they were talking.

A pleasant telephone ring interrupted Director Peng and Ling Yun's discussion.

Director Peng immediately stood up and walked towards his desk.

"It must have been Deputy Director Zhang calling about the video conference."

After he finished speaking, he walked behind his desk and picked up the red secure landline phone on it.

As he expected, the call was indeed from Deputy Director Zhang.

Once it was confirmed that Lingyun had arrived at the Central Office, Deputy Director Zhang immediately told Director Peng that the video conference would begin in five minutes!

After hanging up the phone, Director Peng first explained the situation to Ling Yun and told him to prepare.

Then call the secretary and ask them to bring technicians into the office to set up a video conference connection, etc.

A moment later, the secretary entered the office with two technicians and quickly got to work.

In fact, the relevant settings had already been prepared beforehand.

Now, all you need to do is double-check the firewall and other security measures to make sure there are no problems before you can start the video conference.

The technicians completed the inspection in just two or three minutes.

After establishing a video conference connection, the secretary left the office with two technicians.

At this moment, only Ling Yun and Director Peng remained in the office.

On the projection screen hanging on one side of the office wall is a European-style study, where Deputy Director Zhang and Director Z are busy at work.

One of them was arranging documents, while the other was checking the shooting angle of the high-definition camera.

At the same time, Ling Yun and Director Peng appeared in the small video window in the upper right corner.

Seeing this, they smiled at each other but remained silent.

About two or three minutes later, Deputy Director Zhang and his team finished setting up and inspecting the items. They then greeted Director Peng and Ling Yun and stepped aside.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun's clients from Washington, along with Vice President Wang and Treasury Secretary Xie B, entered the video frame and sat down in the chairs that had been arranged.

As soon as they appeared, Director Peng and Ling Yun immediately stood up and looked at the leaders.

"Wow! Such a grand display! It seems Ling Yun is valued far more than I thought. He's truly a prodigy!"

Director Peng gasped inwardly a few times and couldn't help but glance at Ling Yun.

Looking at Ling Yun again, he stood tall and straight like a pine tree, his eyes fixed straight ahead, exuding an air of confidence and composure.

Once all the bigwigs were seated, Director Peng and Ling Yun immediately took the initiative to greet them.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the center waved at the camera and said with a smile:

"Sit down and let's talk, Director Peng. Xiao Ling, it should be morning in Hong Kong now. What's the weather like today?"

"You all look great, especially Xiao Ling. Although you just had a long flight, you don't show any signs of fatigue. It's wonderful to be young!"

"Good evening, leaders. Thank you for your concern, but I am unworthy of it."

Ling Yun and the others nodded in unison and exchanged a few polite words.

Then he sat down on the sofa, his back still straight, but his expression was much more relaxed.

Following that, Director Peng gave an overview of the current weather on Hong Kong Island.

Ling Yun sat to the side listening without saying a word.

After a few casual words, the video conference quickly got down to business.

Because it was an overseas video call, they did not mention that Ling Yun had secretly flown back to Hong Kong Island on a private jet.

At this stage, this matter must remain strictly confidential!

Because it involves Chairman Liu and some other people involved, this matter is not convenient to discuss.

In light of this, Vice President Wang immediately steered the conversation toward the upcoming APEC summit.

"Xiao Ling, the APEC meeting will officially open this weekend. After extensive consultations and coordination among participating countries, the theme of this meeting has finally been determined today."

"This is mainly due to the influence of the Washington Global Financial Summit, which is why the theme of the meeting has been delayed until now. The two summits were held very close together and were closely linked."

"Returning to the main theme of this APEC summit, it is 'New Commitments to Development in the Asia-Pacific Region,' which is similar to your previous analysis..."

Next, he briefly introduced the newly determined theme and agenda of this APEC summit.

After the introductions were finished, Vice President Wang changed the subject.

"Xiao Ling, please give your evaluation of the main points and content of this APEC summit. Feel free to speak your mind!"

What are your thoughts on the role our country plays in this summit, and what role it can or should play?

"hiss!"

Director Peng gasped in surprise.

Who exactly is this kid next to me? How dare he participate in this kind of discussion? It's outrageous!

You can imagine the significance of the two people asking the questions during the video call.

Could it be that Ling Yun played such a role at the global financial summit held in Washington?

The outside world just doesn't know that his identity as a full-time financial translator is nothing more than a facade!

That must be it. Otherwise, would it be necessary to make such a big fuss about a professional financial translator coming to Hong Kong Island?

In the blink of an eye, Director Peng had figured out the key to it!

His gaze towards Ling Yun changed, becoming more attentive and excited!

Upon hearing Vice President Wang's question, Ling Yun thought for a moment before responding.

"Sir, I am but a humble person and my voice carries little weight; I am probably not qualified to comment on the main theme of this APEC summit, but I believe that the theme is very practical!"

"Since the leader specifically asked me to talk about the role our country played in this summit and the impact it had, I can certainly offer my opinion."

"Following on the global financial summit, at this APEC summit, we must clearly define our position as the anchor of global market confidence, namely, the country that can provide the only expected incremental demand."

"Secondly, we must connect with the top-level consensus reached at the financial summit, strive to unify the reform positions of Asia-Pacific countries, and act as the core spokesperson for Asia-Pacific and developing countries..."

The moment they heard the term "core spokesperson," Vice President Wang and his team in the video screen lit up, unable to hide their excitement.

Then, they showed expressions of "I knew it" and nodded with smiles.

Compared to the others, Director Peng was more shocked.

His eyes widened instantly as he stared in disbelief at Ling Yun's profile.

At this moment, he was absolutely certain of his previous judgment.

This is a prodigy, or perhaps it would be more accurate to call him a genius born with extraordinary talent!

Soon, the video conference had been going on for nearly an hour, and there was still no sign of it ending.

In the reception area outside the director's office, several bigwigs from CITIC Group and Chairman Rong had been waiting for more than half an hour, and they were getting a little impatient!

Especially Chairman Wang, who has stepped down from his position but still has a fiery temper, could hardly sit still!

He glanced at the closed office door, then turned to his secretary sitting to one side and asked curiously:

"What kind of meeting are Director Peng and Ling Yun having that's taken so long?"

The secretary immediately responded with a smile, but her answer was the same as before.

"Please don't worry, Chairman Wang, the content of this meeting needs to be kept confidential, and I truly have no knowledge of it!"

"Knowing that you were coming, the director asked me to prepare some good teas. Please try the Yunwu tea, which Director Peng brought from his hometown."

As he spoke, he took out an exquisite tea canister and showed it to the customer.

Chairman Wang and the others rolled their eyes in unison, looking somewhat helpless.
