v3 Chapter 1223： Sudden proposal

Latest website: The Sumitomo family did not hold a welcome ceremony to Xia Yu with much fanfare, but it does not mean that they did not pay attention to it.

"Xia Jun, 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 Yasuke and Sumitomo Kumiko standing at the door, showing their importance to him.

This kind of specification is actually extremely high. After all, Shinichi Sumitomo personally greeted Xia Yu as a figure of the same level. This is a very high courtesy and recognition.

Of course Xia Yu could feel it.

Therefore, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he shook hands with Sumitomo Shinichi to thank him: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, I am really sorry to ask you to meet him in person."

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

Sumitomo Shinichi said with a kind smile.

"Hurry up inside, let's sit and say!"

"After you!"

...

After a few polite excuses, Xia Yu walked in together at the warm invitation of Sumitomo Shinichi, while Elena talked to Sumitomo Kumiko in a low voice.

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

But he only looked back a little while watching.

Sumitomo Shinichi introduced Xia Yu to his son next to him: "Xia Jun, let me introduce to you. This is my eldest son, Yasuke. He is now the chairman of Sumitomo Bank. You may not know him, but your Subordinates should have had a lot of exchanges with Kang Jie."

"Mr. Sumitomo Yasuke, hello!"

"Xia Jun, hello!"

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

"Haha..."

After a brief acquaintance, a group of people started chatting.

Of course, if it is a group of people chatting, in fact it is basically Xia Yu and Sumitomo Shinichi chatting, Sumitomo Yasuke occasionally makes a few words, Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko are listening quietly while smiling.

"Xia Jun, I don't know when you came to the island country?"

"Although we have never seen each other before, but Xia Jun, your name is like a thunderbolt, and I have been looking forward to getting to know you."

Sumitomo Shinichi asked Xia Yu with a smile, and even flattered Xia Yu.

People in the sedan chair carry people, verbal flattery does not cost any, Xia Yu will naturally not be stingy.

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

"Before I came to the island country, I did some homework. You created the current Sumitomo Consortium and brought the Sumitomo family back to prosperity. I have always hoped to ask you for advice, but I have never had the opportunity."

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

"Xia Jun is too modest to ask for advice. We should discuss with each other."

"Yesterday, I was still telling Kang Jie that he has lived so old, and he is totally incomparable to you. He still doesn't believe it. It just happened to take advantage of today's opportunity to let him recognize his abilities."

While talking, Shinichi Sumitomo also glanced at Sumitomo Yasuke, who happened to show an awkward smile.

This technique of belittling one's own person and flattering others can bring the other person's nerves closer and relax.

However, Xia Yu is actually an old fox with a young appearance but a gully chest. He can easily detect it, but he also came with the mentality of getting closer to the Sumitomo family, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, Sumitomo Yasuke Your husband’s ability is much better than mine. The most obvious is that he can manage Sumitomo Bank, but I have been idle. This is the most obvious gap."

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

"Hahaha..."

Shinichi Sumitomo couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

"Xia Junzhen can make a joke. You are the most honored 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 have some gains, otherwise Sumitomo Shinichi would just make himself face.

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

Although Xia Yu believes that the overall view is the strongest in the world, he is after all a human being and not a god, and he cannot understand the other side. There are always some shortcomings or ignorances.

And this time chatting inspired him a lot.

At the same time, he also learned from the words and attitudes of Sumitomo Shinichi that some of the more secret things of the major families and consortia of the island country, there are some old things accumulated grievances that the intelligence department of Luonet cannot investigate.

Overall, this visit can be said to be quite rewarding.

At noon, due to the hospitality, Xia Yu and Elena stayed in the Sumitomo family and enjoyed an island-style lunch. Then, they left the Sumitomo family with the warm welcome of Sumitomo Shinichi and Sumitomo Yasuke.

In the next week, Xia Yu and Elena teamed up with Sandy Mellon to travel around the island nation of Tokyo, Nagano, Hokkaido and other places to appreciate the unique scenery of the island nation.

Originally in Elena's imagination, it was a sweet journey between her and Xia Yu, but Sandy Mellon unexpectedly appeared, which made her unexpected.

But Sandy Mellon is a very agile and likable girl, with a very moving smile and a very sweet mouth. Elena couldn't get angry with her, and she was depressed for a while before she accepted the reality.

In addition to the three of them, Sandi Mellon's university classmate Sumitomo Kumiko was also in the team for good reasons. She is an island nation. She must be a host and entertain Xia Yu and others. Of course, everyone will not refuse.

In addition to the bodyguards, the group left cheers and laughs around the island country, and at the same time left memorable photos with their cameras.

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

"Have a great time for more than a week, let us toast the happy hour of the past!"

"Hey!"

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

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 speaking, she picked up the cup with rice wine in both hands, touched Xia Yu lightly, and then took a sip. After the wine was in her belly, her pretty face was irritatingly flushed.

"Sandy, the island tour is over, where are you going? Are you going back to America?"

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

Sandy Mellon blinked and looked at Xia Yu expectantly: "Xia Yu, I am going to go to your hometown of Xiangjiang according to the original plan. I heard that Xiangjiang is the most prosperous in Asia besides the island. There is also a beautiful nickname called Oriental Gems. I want to see it."

"I found the information. It was said that Xiangjiang belonged to Huaxia before, and 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 China is like?"

"The vast majority of reports on China in the media are negative, but there are also many positive ones. I don't know which ones are true."

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

Obviously, Sandy Mellon was very curious about Huaxia. From Xiangjiang to Huaxia, he was like a curious baby, blinking with big eyes, 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 the only one of the four ancient countries that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and passed on to the present.

"China’s history and civilization must be more than five thousand years old. In 1979, an archaeological team discovered an ancient city and altar that was more than 6,000 years old at the Chengtou Mountain site in Huaxia’s Xiang province."

"It's just that because many of China's historical relics have not been successfully applied for, the United Nations has not recognized it, and foreign countries do not recognize it and do not understand it."

"..."

Seeing that the three women were attracted by what he said, Xia Yu was full of interest and explained in detail what he knew about the civilization and characteristics of China.

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

The Chinese civilization is full of charm, and it can't be described in just a few words.

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

Sandy Mellon couldn't help but murmured longingly: "The United States has only been in existence for more than two centuries. I really want to see what China is like with a culture of five thousand years."

"I once heard my father say that in the past two thousand years, China has been ranked first in the world most of the time."

"He has been to Huaxia 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 is in China, and it was your great-grandfather who came to live in Xiangjiang, right?"

"Yes!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said.

After speaking, Xia Yu glanced around, and finally fixed on Elena. He could see that Elena was actually very curious about China, but because of her personality, she did not resemble Sandy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko. That's so obvious.

Xia Yu pondered slightly, and suddenly said: "It seems that you all want to visit China, maybe I can take you there."
