The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In the living room.

Ling Yun leaned back lazily on the sofa, listening to the financial news on TV while admiring Da Meiyuan's stunning beauty, feeling incredibly comfortable.

Da Meiyuan clearly felt his burning gaze, and the blush on her face never faded.

After a moment's thought, she gritted her teeth and finally offered her investment quote.

"We need about another 3 million to finish rehearsing this play. If we include publicity and distribution costs, a 4 million investment will be more than enough."

Upon hearing the offer, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's only four million. I'll transfer the money to your bank account later..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his voice abruptly stopped.

The smile that had just bloomed on Da Meiyuan's face froze instantly. She sat up abruptly, her expression turning somewhat anxious.

She subconsciously moved closer, reached out and took Ling Yun's arm, and started to act coquettishly.

"Little brat, you agreed to invest, I heard you clearly, you can't suddenly change your mind."

Ling Yun snapped out of his daze, gently patted the jade-like hand on his arm, and smiled as he looked at the stunning beauty beside him.

"Don't worry, since I've promised you, of course I won't go back on my word. To me, a four million investment is nothing."

"But I'd like to change my investment approach. Don't you own a film and television culture company? I'd like to acquire a controlling stake in that company."

"Once the acquisition is complete, this film and television culture company will then invest in your play."

"What? Acquiring a company?"

Da Meiyuan let out a soft cry and was stunned on the spot.

Once she realized what was happening, she immediately and cautiously created some distance between herself and the enemy.

"Why do you suddenly want to acquire our film and television company? We're just a small company; we're afraid we can't accommodate someone as big as you."

"What, are you up to? Don't forget, Leilei is my sister!"

Seeing her guarded expression, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

He adjusted his posture and immediately offered an explanation.

"The reason is simple: the huge profits I've made in the international financial markets require some good investment channels; I can't just let tens or hundreds of billions sit idle in bank accounts!"

"The film and television culture industry is considered a promising sector and a good investment opportunity, which is why I wanted to acquire your film and television culture company. It would be a win-win situation for both parties."

"Tens of billions or tens of billions?"

Da Meiyuan's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was agape in an "O" shape.

"Are you kidding me? You actually have tens or hundreds of billions in assets? Really? Leilei really hit the jackpot!"

Ling Yun nodded with a hint of pride.

"That's right, I am indeed very wealthy. Just yesterday, I earned around 460 million."

"By next Monday, at least 1.5 billion will have come in, bringing the total to over 2 billion. How much do you think my net worth is then?"

Da Meiyuan was completely stunned and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

She couldn't help but swallow, her red lips slightly parted, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Ling Yun felt secretly delighted to be gazed at with such a slightly infatuated look by his former dream goddess.

On the surface, however, he remained calm and continued to talk about his investment plans.

"Once I acquire your film and television company, you will never have to worry about film and television resources again, nor will you have to flatter any investors, because you will be the boss yourself."

He deliberately dragged out his words, constantly throwing out tempting bait.

"As long as it's a good film and television project, I'm willing to invest any amount of money. I'll give you no less than 20% equity, plus considerable autonomy, which will be many times better than what you're doing now."

"Of course, if you are not willing to accept my controlling stake, that's fine too. I can find another target to acquire, and it won't affect my investment in this play."

As soon as he finished speaking, the living room fell silent.

Da Meiyuan lowered her head in thought, her eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks.

Her film and television culture company has been established for six or seven years; it was founded jointly by her and her agent.

When the company was first established, its registered capital was only 200 million yuan. After many years of development, it has never grown and remains a small workshop.

There are countless small film and television companies like this in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Because of her and her best friend Jia Jingwen, this small film and television company stands out from the crowd.

If we accept Lingyun's demand for controlling shares, given his astonishing capabilities, the company will undoubtedly experience a leapfrog development.

Da Meiyuan became more and more excited as she thought about it, and her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Seeing that she was thinking, Lingyun was not in a hurry.

He got up and went into the restaurant, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, opened it and took two sips.

When he returned to the living room, Da Meiyuan immediately looked up at him.

"I never imagined you had such an astonishing fortune. You're a few years younger than me, yet your net worth is already in the billions. It's simply unbelievable!"

"As Leilei's older sister, I'm truly happy for her. This girl has never been in a relationship before; it turns out she's been waiting for you, her Prince Charming."

"No wonder Leilei was so awkward when kissing, she's never been in a relationship before. I've really struck gold!"

Ling Yun pretended to realize something, and then exchanged a few more polite words.

"I wouldn't dare call myself a prince charming, but I will treat Leilei well and give her the best of everything."

Upon hearing this, a hint of envy flashed in Da Meiyuan's eyes.

She coughed lightly and then returned to the topic of investment.

"Your offer to acquire a controlling stake in our company sounds very tempting, but I can't give you an answer right away, considering there are other shareholders."

"Let's talk about investing in the play first. I want to finalize this so as not to delay the play's rehearsals."

Ling Yun nodded slightly and immediately gave his answer.

"Of course, no problem, but I don't have time to deal with this. I've been extremely busy lately, and I'll only get busier from now on."

"My lawyer happens to be in Beijing and will soon assemble a team to provide me with legal services."

"Have the theater director talk to my lawyer. Since this is a film and television investment, it needs to look like an investment."

"I will tell the lawyer the specific details and requirements, and then I will transfer the funds to the production team after the director and lawyer have signed the investment agreement."

Da Meiyuan gasped in astonishment once again.

"Wow! You actually have your own legal team? The status of a super-rich person is truly different!"

"I immediately called Director Lin and told him to get the investment sorted out, so they wouldn't have to beg and plead with everyone they knew."

As she spoke, she took her phone out of her bag, ready to call the director.

Lingyun gave her Zhang Lu's phone number and sent him a text message, laying the groundwork in advance.

After getting Zhang Lu's phone number, Da Meiyuan quickly dialed the play director's cell phone.

During the call, she inevitably revealed a hint of pride, and seemed to have become more cheerful and confident.

The source of this brilliance is none other than Lingyun, this rapidly growing towering tree.

Upon learning that Da Meiyuan had secured the investment so quickly, the theater director on the other end of the phone was extremely excited and expressed his deepest gratitude to Ling Yun and Da Meiyuan.

Ling Yun could hear the relieved sound coming from the phone's receiver even from several meters away.

After making the call, Da Meiyuan relayed the director's gratitude.

Having successfully resolved her investment troubles, she completely relaxed, beaming with joy, seemingly radiating light, and breathtakingly beautiful.

During the chat, she talked about some gossip in the entertainment industry and also shared her own hardships along the way.

Ling Yun shared some of her own experiences and her future plans after acquiring Da Meiyuan's company, which made the stunningly beautiful woman's eyes light up.

Of course, he didn't reveal a single word about anything that needed to be kept confidential.

Before I knew it, it was already around 8:40 pm.

Da Meiyuan glanced at the sky outside the window, then got up and straightened her skirt.

"It's getting late, I should head back now. Thank you for your help, and on behalf of the crew, I thank you for your generosity."

"Hold on, we're not strangers, it's only right that I help you."

Ling Yun smiled and waved his hand.

"I have very important things to do tonight, and I'll probably be busy until the early hours of the morning, so I won't let you stay here. We can do it another time!"

Da Meiyuan blushed and gave him a charmingly disdainful look.

"Get lost! Even if you dare to keep me here, I wouldn't dare stay. If Leilei finds out, she'll fight me to the death!"

Ling Yun leaned closer and teased him playfully:

"Are you getting the wrong idea? Who said that just because you live here, something will definitely happen? I'm so busy, I don't have time to think about anything else!"

"Whoosh!"

Da Meiyuan's pretty face instantly turned red, and she punched Ling Yun in embarrassment and annoyance.

"You brat, how dare you flirt with me? Are you asking for a beating?"

After exchanging a few jokes and banter, Da Meiyuan picked up her bag and left, preparing to drive home.

As they approached the elevator, Ling Yun suddenly gave them a few words of advice.

"You might find a black SUV following your car later. Don't be afraid, that's my bodyguard."

"I've arranged for them to accompany and protect you all the way back; only then will I feel at ease."

Da Meiyuan paused for a moment, then nodded gratefully.

"I didn't expect you to have bodyguards. How come I didn't notice before? Looks like you've hidden them very well!"

"I must say, you're incredibly thoughtful. If only I had done this sooner..."

At this point, she seemed to realize that her tone was a bit off and quickly stopped talking.

Her beautiful face flushed red, and she quickly turned and walked into the elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors closed, she spat lightly.

"Pah! What nonsense are you talking about? This is Leilei's man!"
