Chapter 1223 a Sudden Proposal

The latest website: The Sumitomo family did not hold a welcoming ceremony for Xia Yu with great fanfare, but it did not mean that they did not pay attention.

"Jun Xia, Ms. Elena, I am Sumitomo Shinichi, and I welcome you on behalf of the Sumitomo family!"

When Xia Yu and Elena arrived at the Sumitomo family, they saw three generations of Sumitomo Shinichi, Sumitomo Kosuke and Sumitomo Kumiko standing at the door with crutches to show their attention to him.

This kind of specification is actually very high. After all, Sumitomo Shinichi personally greeted him, which means that Xia Yu is regarded as a person of the same level. This is a very high courtesy and recognition.

Of course Xia Yu could feel it.

Therefore, with a genial smile on his face, he shook hands with Sumitomo Shinichi to thank him: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, I'm really sorry to have you greet him in person."

"Yes, Mr. Xia is the most honorable guest of our family, and I should be the one to receive him."

Sumitomo Shinichi said with a kind smile.

"Come in, please, let's sit and talk!"

"After you!"

...

After politely excusing each other, Xia Yu walked in together at the warm invitation of Sumitomo Shinichi, while Elena whispered to Sumitomo Kumiko.

The Sumitomo family is worthy of being the top big family in the island country. It has a long history and can be felt from the various layouts of the living room, which is full of cultural connotations.

But he just looked back for a while.

Sumitomo Shinichi introduced his son to Xia Yu: "Xia Jun, let me introduce to you, this is my eldest son, Kangsuke, who is now the chairman of Sumitomo Bank. You may not know him, but your The subordinates should have had a lot of communication with Kangsuke."

"Hello, Mr. Sumitomo Kosuke!"

"Xia Jun, hello!"

"As for my granddaughter Kumiko, you have known each other before, so I won't introduce it."

"Ha ha……"

After a brief acquaintance,

A group of people chatted.

Of course, it was a group of people chatting, but in fact it was basically Xia Yu chatting with Sumitomo Shinichi, Sumitomo Kosuke occasionally made a few words, and Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko kept smiling and listening quietly.

"Xia Jun, when did you come to the island country?"

"Although we have never met before, but Xia-Jun, your name is so familiar, I have been looking forward to getting to know you."

Sumitomo Shinichi asked Xia Yu with a smile, and flirted with Xia Yu.

People in the sedan chair carry people, there is no cost to flattery in words, and Xia Yu will naturally not be stingy.

"Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, I just arrived in the island country not long ago."

"Before I came to the island country, I did a lot of homework. You single-handedly created the current Sumitomo Foundation and brought the Sumitomo family back to prosperity. I have always hoped to be able to ask you for advice, but I have never had the opportunity."

"Fortunately, I am lucky. I met Miss Kumiko, and I am fortunate to come to your family today and have a good chat with you."

"Xia Jun is too modest to ask for advice, so let's discuss it with each other."

"Yesterday, I was telling Kang Jie that he lived such an old age that he is completely incomparable to you. He still doesn't believe it. I just took advantage of today's opportunity to let him recognize his own abilities."

While speaking, Sumitomo Shinichi also glanced at Sumitomo Kosuke, who just showed an embarrassed smile.

This technique of belittling one's own and flattering others can narrow the distance between calmness and make the other person's nerves more relaxed.

However, Xia Yu is actually an old fox who looks young but has a gully in his chest. He can easily find out, but he also came with the mentality of getting closer to the Sumitomo family, so he smiled in cooperation: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, Sumitomo Kosuke The ability of Mr. is much stronger than me, the most obvious, he can take charge of Sumitomo Bank, but I have been idle, this is the most obvious gap."

"You said that, don't you want to hide it? I came here today with the mentality of learning. You can't let me go home empty-handed, right?"

"Hahaha……"

Sumitomo Shinichi shook his head and laughed.

"Jun Xia is really joking, you are the most honorable friend of our family, how could I do such a thing?"

"Just ask, I know everything I can answer."

...

When Sumitomo Shinichi said this, Xia Yu didn't care about it. He had a hunch that this visit would definitely bring some gains, otherwise Sumitomo Shinichi would be slapped in the face.

Sure enough, the content of the next chat became very complicated because of Xia Yu's problem. It can be said that the judgment of the international situation was discussed from the economic characteristics and industrial development of various regions of the island country.

Although Xia Yu believes that the overall situation is the strongest in the world, he is a human rather than a god after all.

And this chat has inspired him a lot.

At the same time, he also learned from Sumitomo Shinichi's words and attitudes that some of the more secretive things about the major families and consortiums in the island country, there are some old-fashioned grievances that cannot be investigated by the intelligence department.

Overall, this visit has been fruitful.

At noon, Xia Yu and Elena stayed in the Sumitomo family due to their kindness, and enjoyed a lunch with the characteristics of the island country, and then left the Sumitomo family with the warm farewell of Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Kosuke.

In the next week, Xia Yu and Elena formed a group with Sandy Mellon to visit the island countries of Tokyo, Nagano, Hokkaido and other places, enjoying the unique scenery of the island country.

Originally, in Elena's imagination, it was a sweet journey between her and Xia Yu, but unexpectedly, a Sandy Mellon appeared, which she did not expect.

However, Sandy Mellon is a very spiritual and likable girl, with a very moving smile and a very sweet mouth. Elena couldn't be angry with her, so she was depressed for a while and then accepted the reality.

In addition to the three of them, Sandy Mellon's college classmate Sumitomo Kumiko was also in the team. She was from an island country, and she had to be a good host and entertained Xia Yu and others. Of course, everyone would not refuse.

In addition to the bodyguards, the group left laughter and laughter all over the island country, and also used the camera to leave a very memorable photo.

On the last day, the group had dinner at a top restaurant called "JuwaritsukeSobaMuramasa" in Minato Ward, Tokyo.

"Have a lot of fun this over a week, let's toast to the happy hours of the past!"

"Bang!"

"Kumiko, thank you for your hard work, let you run around with us during this time."

After a group of people celebrated, Xia Yu toasted Sumitomo Kumiko alone.

Sumitomo Kumiko smiled sweetly and said softly, "Xia Yujun, this is what I should do. In fact, I have never been to most places. I am very happy to be able to go with you, thank you!"

After she finished speaking, she lifted the cup of rice wine with both hands, touched Xia Yu lightly, and took a sip gracefully. After the wine entered her stomach, her pretty face flushed again.

"Sandy, the trip to the island country is over, where are you going? Are you going back to the United States?"

After Xia Yu took a sip of wine, he looked at Sandy Mellon and asked with a smile.

Sandy Mellon blinked and looked at Xia Yu with some anticipation: "Xia Yu, I'm going to follow the original plan and want to visit your hometown Xiangjiang. I heard that Xiangjiang is the most prosperous in Asia outside the island. Place, there is also a beautiful nickname called Oriental Gem, I want to see it."

"I found the information, and it was said that Xiangjiang belonged to Huaxia before. I also planned to go to the mysterious Huaxia, but my family warned me not to go, so I gave up."

"By the way, Xia Yu, do you know what Huaxia looks like?"

"Most of the media reports on Huaxia are negative, but there are also many positive ones. I don't know which ones are true."

"Does Huaxia really have a history of five thousand years?"

Obviously, Sandy Mellon is very curious about Huaxia. After talking about Huaxia from Xiangjiang, she is like a curious baby, blinking her big eyes, and her eyes are full of curiosity to explore the unknown.

Hearing Sandy Mellon's question, Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko, who had never been to China, looked at Xia Yu together.

The three pairs of beautiful eyes focused on him, and Xia Yu's mood was instinctively happy.

He smiled lightly and said, "Huaxia is one of the four ancient countries, and it is also the only country among the four ancient countries that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and has inherited it to this day."

"The history and civilization of China must be more than 5,000 years old. In 1979, an archaeological team discovered the ancient city and altar more than 6,000 years ago at the Chengtoushan site in Xiang Province, China."

"It's just that many historical sites in China have not been successfully applied for the World Heritage List, so the United Nations has not recognized them, and foreign countries do not recognize them and do not know much about them."

"..."

Seeing that the three women were attracted by what he told, Xia Yu was very interested, and told in detail what he knew about the civilization and characteristics of China.

At the same time, Elena and others asked questions from time to time, and Xia Yu used his knowledge to give detailed and serious answers.

The civilization of China is full of charm, and it cannot be explained in just a few words.

Xia Yu's words aroused the curiosity of the three girls.

Sandy Mellon couldn't help but murmured with longing: "The United States has only been established for more than 200 years. I really want to see what China, with its 5,000-year-old culture, looks like."

"I once heard my father say that China has been in the world's number one position most of the time in the past two thousand years."

"He went to China several times in the past few years, but he didn't tell me anything about it."

"I don't know when I will have the opportunity to visit Huaxia..."

Sumitomo Kumiko's ethereal and pure voice sounded immediately.

At this time, Elena looked at Xia Yu and asked, "Xia Yu, I remember you said that your hometown was in Huaxia, and it was your great-grandfather who came to settle in Xiangjiang, right?"

"Yes!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded.

After speaking, Xia Yu glanced around, and finally fixed on Elena. He could see that Elena was actually curious about Huaxia, but because of her personality, she was not like Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko. It was so obvious.

Xia Yu pondered a little, and suddenly said: "It seems that you all want to go to Huaxia, maybe I can take you there."
