The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After the two meetings were completed, Ling Yun and Director Peng had a video call with Deputy Director Zhang, who had just flown to Cuba, to briefly introduce the situation of the two meetings.

Then, the meeting minutes and related videos were sent over before the video conference ended.

Deputy Director Zhang did not comment on the progress of the two meetings or the series of cooperation agreements and intentions reached at the meetings.

After Vice President Wang reviews these video materials and meeting minutes, he will provide comments and guidance.

After the video call ended, Director Peng smiled and looked at Ling Yun.

"Don't rush home yet. I'll take you to meet the heads of a few key departments in the L office. We'll all have dinner together in the staff cafeteria as a welcome-back dinner."

"In the future, you'll be dealing with the Central Government Offices frequently on Hong Kong Island, so getting to know a few of them is essential."

"That would be wonderful, it is exactly what I wish to do, I dare not ask for more."

Ling Yun nodded with a smile.

Afterwards, they left the director's office together to meet with several department heads from the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

As they walked out of the office area on this floor and into the elevator lobby, they saw it immediately.

Zhong Tao and his group were standing in the elevator lobby, each with a straight back and upright posture, exuding a fierce aura.

Each of them was pushing a large suitcase and a bulging backpack, chatting with Lingyun's other security personnel; they clearly knew each other.

Besides these security personnel, a deputy director of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's administrative department and the head of the security department were also in this elevator lobby.

Around 3 p.m. this afternoon, Zhong Tao and his team arrived at the Central Office without incident.

Then, I followed the staff to complete some relevant procedures. It wasn't until evening, when I learned that Lingyun was about to leave the Central Office, that I came here to wait for him.

Seeing Ling Yun come out, Zhong Tao and the others unconsciously straightened their backs even more.

Then they all stepped forward, their eyes shining as they greeted each other.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Ling. We are here to report for duty. Please give us your instructions!"

Ling Yun paused for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand.

"I'm not used to this sudden formality. Oh well, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You can call me 'Mr' in Hong Kong."

"Once we return to the capital, we'll revert to our old way of addressing each other, so it doesn't sound awkward."

"It's good that you're here. Let's go have dinner together, and then we'll go back to the hillside and I'll introduce you to the other people there."

Zhong Tao and the others exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.

"Okay, Mr. Ling."

Afterwards, they followed Ling Yun and Director Peng into the elevator and went down to the office area.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it was already around 8:30 pm.

Only then did Ling Yun return to his mountaintop villa.

After entering the villa, he called Zhong Tao and the others aside and gave them some instructions.

Then, introduce them to Uncle Li, who will explain the details of the luxury mansion, the division of labor, and introduce them to the other service staff and security team members.

Of course, we also need to arrange accommodations for them, show them around the villa compound, and so on—a whole host of things to do!

Ling Yun then abandoned his duties and entered the main building alone.

After entering the house, he went upstairs alone to wash up quickly, changed into a loose set of home clothes, and immediately felt much more relaxed.

Then, he picked up his phone and dialed Da Meiyuan's number, chatting with her as he walked towards the study.

Just as he reached the study door, entered his fingerprint, and opened the door, Da Meiyuan suddenly exclaimed excitedly:

"Honey, we've booked our flights to Shenzhen for the day after tomorrow. After landing in Shenzhen, we'll take a car to Hong Kong Island to see you. Please make the arrangements."

"After arriving in Hong Kong Island this time, Jingwen and I can stay for a longer period of time. The weather on Hong Kong Island is at its best right now, so we can stay by your side to rest and prepare for your pregnancy."

"Both Leilei and Yanzi have jobs, especially Yanzi, who is very ambitious now and acts like she wants to become a media mogul. They can only stay until Sunday at most."

Ling Yun was naturally delighted to hear this news.

He casually opened the study door and responded with a smile:

"That's great! Now that you're here, I won't have to spend every night alone!"

"As for Yanzi and Leilei, since they are so enthusiastic, it's fine for them to stay for a few days and then go back. If I miss them, I can go back to the capital."

"I'll arrange for Zhong Tao and the others to pick me up at the airport in Shenzhen. They arrived on Hong Kong Island this afternoon and will continue to follow and protect me!"

"During your journey from Shenzhen to Hong Kong Island, staff from the Central Government Office will cooperate fully, so you don't need to worry about being followed by paparazzi..."

As he spoke, he went behind the desk and sat down in the boss's chair.

Next, I turned on my computer, ready to go online and check the situation in the international financial market.

Just then, Da Meiyuan abruptly changed the subject, and a strong sense of jealousy immediately surged through the radio waves.

"Honey, did Ya Ya call you? She found out she and Dong Xuan are also in Hong Kong Island. Did you say you wanted to invite them together?"

"Tell me honestly, you womanizing radish, aren't you eyeing Ya Ya and Dong Xuan? You really never have a moment to spare!"

"But that's not surprising. Ya Ya and Dong Xuan are so beautiful, and you're such a womanizer. It would be strange if you weren't tempted by them!"

Ling Yun's heart tightened, and he quickly began to explain, though his words contradicted his true feelings.

"Honestly, darling, although Yaya and the others are indeed very beautiful, I really didn't have any designs on them. There was a reason I invited them to dinner."

"When I left Beijing with the delegation and flew to Washington, I met them in the waiting hall of the Capital Airport and nodded to them in greeting."

"After I arrived in Washington, I frequently appeared in various news reports. Ya Ya and Dong Xuan also saw these news reports and sent several text messages to inquire about my situation."

"About twenty hours before I returned to Hong Kong Island, I suddenly disappeared. They were worried and sent me text messages to ask how I was doing. I only saw them after I got back to Hong Kong Island."

"So I called them and found out they were also in Hong Kong Island. Considering I'm the boss, I thought I'd invite them to dinner, that's all. How did you know...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Da Meiyuan started giggling.

"Hehehe, look how scared you are! You look a bit guilty. Don't worry, I'm not jealous of you or Yaya!"

"Yaya is quite thoughtful. She was worried that I would be jealous or overthink things, so she called me this afternoon to explain the situation and ask for my opinion."

"If I don't agree to let them meet with you alone, they'll make up an excuse to decline your invitation and then explain it to us in person when they get back to the company."

"Seeing how sensible they are, I can't be ungrateful, can I? After we go to Hong Kong Island in a couple of days, we can invite Ya Ya and Dong Xuan over so we can all get together."

"Of course, this requires your consent as the behind-the-scenes boss and owner of the mansion. If we can't invite Ya Ya and the others due to confidentiality reasons, then we'll schedule another time."

"call!"

Ling Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and instantly relaxed.

He pretended to think for a moment before giving his response.

"Honey, I'm so glad you're not jealous. You gave me quite a fright! I'm perfectly content with just you guys. I won't bother Yaya and the others anymore!"

"Since Ya Ya and Dong Xuan are so sensible and well-behaved, it would be no problem to invite them over for a get-together after you come to Hong Kong Island. It would be a good opportunity for them to get acquainted with the place."

"They'll be staying on Hong Kong Island for a while, and we'll be visiting each other frequently. If anything happens, they'll know where to find me."

"When I see them, I'll tell them to keep it a secret, not to reveal anything about this villa, and not to disclose their relationship with me, etc."

"Hehe, the fox's tail is showing now!"

Da Meiyuan replied with a charming smile.
