London is not only the heart of England, but also the heart of the whole of Europe, where countless roads crisscross and buildings of all kinds stand on both sides of each road.

London's Great Portland Street, whose name has been around for hundreds of years, is lined with some old buildings, although many of them have been demolished and rebuilt in the past years, but it is still difficult to hide its quaint atmosphere.

At No. 49 Great Portland Street, there is a very old and special building, whether it is the foundation or the carving, it shows that this is an English building, but the surface of the building, there are all kinds of decorations and wood carvings, full of Chinese cultural color.

The traditional British style is perfectly integrated with the atmospheric and soft Chinese cultural colors.

This building is nothing else, it is the Chinese Embassy in the UK!

In 1877, in accordance with the terms of the "Yantai Treaty" signed by the incompetent Qing government, Guo Songtao, then the envoy of Fujian Province, went to Britain to "apologize" and serve as a minister, before Guo Songtao and his party arrived in Britain, the then director of the Qing Dynasty Customs Office in London, the Scotsman Jin Denggan had rented 49 Great Portland Street. When Guo and his entourage arrived in London, they stayed in this five-story building, which was built 100 years ago, in 1777.

Later, Guo Songtao presented his credentials to Queen Victoria, and from then on, Guo Songtao became China's first foreign envoy.

Since then, No. 49 Greater Portland Avenue has become the first diplomatic institution in Chinese history to be stationed abroad, and it has been used to this day!

At this time, in the luxurious reception hall of the British Embassy, Xia Yu and others were all inside, and Xia Yu was chatting happily with Ambassador Qian Wenchao.

One has something to ask for something, the other intends to woo each other, and the relationship between the two of them is invisibly closer to each other by replacing wine with tea and pushing cups for cups.

"Mr. Xia, you have been in London for many days, what is your impression of London?"

Qian Wenchao took a sip of tea, looked at Xia Yu with a smile on his face, and asked casually.

"Huh!"

Xia Yu chuckled, picked up the hot tea and blew it gently, the white mist rose, lingering on his face, Xia Yu took a sip gently, and at the moment when the teacup blocked his vision, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and he sensed Qian Wenchao's temptation.

He put down his teacup and shook his head and said, "London is like a cluster of flowers, full of flowers, but unfortunately the land where this flower grows has long been riddled with holes, lack of nutrition, and full of decay. ”

"Giants will twilight, and beauties will eventually turn white. “

"More than 300 years ago, the British said that the sun rises from the prime meridian of the Greenwich Observatory, and more than 300 years later, the British sun will eventually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun will be sprinkled here. ”

"Haha, Mr. Xia is brilliantly written, not a generation of literary masters, this metaphor is used well, admire!

Hearing Xia Yu's evaluation, Qian Wenchao smiled brightly, laughed and exclaimed, and his gaze at Xia Yu softened.

Xia Yu deserved to be a smart person, he heard the meaning of his words, and then did not break it, but used a vivid evaluation to show his attitude towards Britain, and also vaguely stated his position and attitude.

But Qian Wenchao still wanted to know more about Xia Yu's attitude, so that he could determine how to treat Xia Yu.

What's more, Xia Yu doesn't seem to be disgusted with his temptation, this is a good opportunity, why don't he seize it quickly? If he doesn't seize the opportunity to tempt this time, it will be difficult to find an opportunity next time, who knows when Xia Yu will come to the embassy again?

Thinking of this, Qian Wenchao stirred up the topic again and said: "Mr. Xia, the surname Xia is rare in Xiangjiang, I don't know where your ancestral home is?"

"I really know that my family's ancestral home is Qianzhou, Jiangxi Province, at that time, in order to escape the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Rebellion, my ancestors went all the way south, and finally came to Xiangjiang to settle down, which has been passed down to this day. ”

Xia Yu said with a smile.

He was really right, he had read the family tree, and it was clearly written.

Xia Yu learned on the Internet in his previous life that the surname Xia can only be ranked one hundred and fifty in China, and it is distributed throughout China, but Jiangxi Province alone accounts for more than one-tenth, ranking first in the country.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm also from Qianzhou, Jiangxi Province! We're fellow villagers!"

Qian Wenchao said with a surprised expression.

Xia Yu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, he was indeed surprised, a person of Qian Wenchao's status would not deceive him in such a trivial matter, so it would be true when he thought about it!

It's just that I don't know if Qian Wenchao really doesn't know his ancestral home in Jiangxi Province, or if he deliberately introduced the topic in this regard after finding out.

But these are things that can't be confirmed, and there's no need to delve into them, just treat it as a coincidence!

"Looks like we're destined!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Haha!"

"It's a pity that I haven't been back to Qianzhou for decades, and I don't know what my hometown is like now......"

Qian Wenchao laughed at first, then his smile slowly converged, and he said with some longing and regret.

Thinking of Gan Province, Xia Yu's eyes were a little confused, he was a native of Qianzhou in Gan Province in his previous life, and after being reborn in this life, he traced the family tree and found that his ancestral home was also Qianzhou in Gan Province, I don't know if it was providence!

"If I have a chance in the future, I really want to go back and see it!"

Xia Yu seemed to reveal his true feelings, and said softly.

Hearing this, Qian Wenchao's eyes flashed, and he said with a bright smile: "Mr. Xia has a successful career, and if he wants to trace his roots, it is naturally a simple matter, and the old folks in Qianzhou will definitely welcome him!"

As he spoke, Qian Wenchao looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes, observing his expression.

Xia Yu glanced at Qian Wenchao, then turned his head to the east, made a posture of looking, and said with emotion: "Welcome or not, I don't care! ”

"The ancients paid attention to the return of fallen leaves, no matter how far away from home for a long time, but that heart yearning for hometown is always beating......"

"I'm sorry, I'm out of shape, please forgive me!"

Xia Yu blinked, cleaned up his mood, and showed an apologetic smile.

"Haha, don't get in the way, Mr. Xia is really temperamental, how can you say that you are out of shape!"

Qian Wen said with a big smile, his mood was very happy, his eyes looking at Xia Yu were full of intimacy, and the enthusiasm in his words was very obvious.

"Haha!"

Xia Yu smiled, shook his head and did not speak.

Next, Qian Wenchao didn't continue to ask, what he wanted to know already knew, smart people talked, there was no need to pick so clearly, everyone just understood in their hearts.

What's more, now he and Xia Yu are only meeting for the second time, and it is also the first time that Xia Yu takes the initiative to find him, if he doesn't know how to grasp the scale, if he has to break the casserole and ask to the end, his ability is questionable, and even if Xia Yu smiles on his face, he will be unhappy in his heart.

Just enough is enough!

At this moment, Minister Cheng Jie also happened to come back, he smiled at Xia Yu, then put a bag on the table, and reported to Qian Wenchao: "Leader, the tickets have been bought, and they all took off at half past two in the afternoon!"

"Good work!"

After Qian Wenchao finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu again, made a gesture of please, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you check it to see if there is anything missing." ”

"Okay!"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he picked up the bag and opened it, took out a stack of air tickets inside, wiped his hand, and unfolded them all, after seeing a series of place names, Xia Yu showed a reassuring smile, put the ticket away, and put it back in the bag.

"Ambassador Qian, thank you!" Xia Yu said solemnly.

"You're welcome, serving overseas compatriots is our due duty, if there is anything we need to do in the future, just tell us, we will definitely help you do it as soon as possible!"

Qian Wenchao waved his hand and smiled, and when he spoke, his face was full of sincerity and solemnity.

"Haha, then I'm not welcome!"

Xia Yu smiled heartily.

"Haha!"

Qian Wenchao also laughed, and even Cheng Jie, the minister standing next to him, seemed to be infected by the atmosphere and smiled.

Looking at his watch, Xia Yu showed an apologetic smile: "Ambassador Qian, I still have an appointment, it's really a pity, I'm going to leave first!"

"Your business matters, I'll send you!"

Qian Wenchao said in understanding, then stood up and made a gesture of please.

Outside, Yan Shining opened the car door, and before getting into the car, Xia Yu stopped, his eyes swept over Qian Wenchao and others, and finally his eyes returned to Qian Wenchao.

"Everyone, then I'll go first, and I'll bother again if I have a chance!"

Xia Yu said solemnly.

"Mr. Xia, the door of the embassy is open for you at any time, not only the United Kingdom, but also Chinese embassies around the world, as long as you go, you will definitely be warmly received!"

Qian Wenchao looked at Xia Yu's eyes with burning eyes, and his expression was very serious and solemn.

"Thanks!"

"Then I'll go first, see you next time!"

After speaking, Xia Yu got into the car, rolled down the window, and waved to everyone.

Immediately afterward, the car slowly drove away from the embassy door.

"Let's go back!"

Watching Xia Yu's car disappear on the street corner, Qian Wenchao put down his hand and smiled.

After saying that, he took the lead back to the embassy, did not sit down and rest, but quickly came to the innermost room, picked up a red phone, and quickly dialed a number.

"Dut...... Honk...... Toot ......"

The phone rang three times, and then a loud and steady voice came from the microphone.

Just when Qian Wenchao dialed the phone, in a secret building in the imperial capital of China, an old man over the age of sixteen answered the phone.

Listening to Qian Wenchao's continuous narration, a smile appeared on the old man's resolute face, and after Qian Wenchao's report, he immediately said: "Okay, you have done a good job, it seems that this genius has his heart set on the motherland!

"Now that he is in trouble, you immediately arrange to go down and remove all obstacles and hidden dangers for him to ensure his safety!"

Then, the old man hung up the phone, and looked at the information on the desktop, and a smile appeared on his face again.

......

In the Huaxia Embassy in the UK, after Qian Wenchao hung up the phone, he said, "Come in!"

Song Weihong, the military attache who had already been guarding the door, immediately opened the door and walked in, waiting for Qian Wenchao's instructions.

"Receive an order from the top, no matter what happens to him, remove all obstacles and hidden dangers for him, and ensure that he leaves England safely!

Qian Wenchao looked at Song Weihong, who was standing straight, with a serious face and said.

"Yes!"

Song Weihong saluted, without the slightest drag, and left the room quickly to arrange the task.

Looking at Song Weihong's back, Qian Wenchao thought of the leader's praise, and couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Early in the morning, Xia Yu came to the embassy to find him, which surprised him, and then Xia Yu made a request, that is, to help the five of them buy air tickets, and buy them at several different airports at the same time, and to take off at half past two in the afternoon, the arrival places are Xiangjiang, Aomen, Malaysia, the United States, island countries, South Korea and other places, a total of ten locations!

This kind of request made Qian Wenchao immediately realize that Xia Yu must be in trouble, he didn't ask why, without any hesitation, and immediately arranged for someone to buy it!

This kind of thing that is very troublesome for Xia Yu is very simple for his embassy, and he is naturally very happy to sell personal favors.

As for the subsequent report to the top, it was also when he talked to Xia Yu that he tested Xia Yu's attitude, and knew that it was exactly what the top was expecting, so he naturally reported urgently.

Before he debriefed, he guessed that this would be the result, because if he was sitting in that position, he would have made such a decision!

......

On the way to Phoenix Tower, Xia Yu opened the bag again, took out a stack of air tickets inside, and looked at it, with a smile on his face.

"Xia Yu, let me see!"

Li Qian, who was next to Xia Yu, saw so many air tickets, and said very curiously, and counted them like money after taking the tickets.

"Xia Yu, the embassy is really amazing, it has bought so many air tickets in such a short time!"

Li Qian exclaimed.

Xia Yu smiled, did not speak, and his eyes were a little distracted.

I came to the embassy early this morning to find Qian Wenchao, and I thought about it when he promised Wu Hongyi last night.

Otherwise, if he has no backhand, if he responds to the banquet in a daze, even if it is in Wu Hongyi's restaurant, the probability of an accident in the downtown area is very low, but there is still a risk.

If there is a risk, there must be a countermeasure!

If both sides reach an agreement, then everyone will be happy.

But if the negotiation breaks down, Xia Yu will not think that Wu Hongyi's grandfather will treat him like Wu Hongyi, a figure at the level of the head of a big family, how many ups and downs he has experienced, he is definitely an old fox, and it is absolutely impossible to be a good person.

Wu Hongyi's grandfather definitely has a different backhand, whether the negotiation is successful or failing, there will be countermeasures!

If the negotiations break down, even if Wu Hongyi is in the middle, Xia Yu believes that Wu Chengde is still likely to be ruthless, and he also has many means to put aside his relationship and take care of Wu Hongyi's emotions as much as possible.

However, Wu Chengde is an old fox, and Xia Yu is not a vegetarian rabbit!

In London and even in the United Kingdom, Xia Yu knew that he would not be the opponent of the Wu family, Wu Chengde had many ways to clean him up, but he had no countermeasures, unless he arrived in Xiangjiang, Xia Yu was confident that even if the Wu family was a dragon crossing the river, he could have a variety of ways to beat it down.

However, Xia Yu is not without any means, he has no power, but he can borrow his strength!

The Chinese Embassy in China is his target!

No matter how awesome the Wu family is, as long as a country is serious, even if it is just an embassy, the energy that can be mobilized is amazing!

You must know that embassies definitely have their own armed forces, and there are military attachés on the surface, but secretly, embassies everywhere have the right to mobilize overseas forces.

Of course, Xia Yu didn't want Qian Wenchao to use secret force to help him work, he just needed to simply buy a plane ticket and let him leave safely.

Buy ten flights of planes, flying to different places, as long as he realizes that there is a problem in the negotiations, then Xia Yu will delay time, and after the negotiations break down, he will immediately get stuck in time and choose a flight to leave the UK.

Now is not the Internet era, major airlines do not exchange information, it is impossible to know that Xia Yu and others have bought so many air tickets, and when the time comes, even if the British police want to arrest Xia Yu and others, they don't know which plane he took in a short time.

After finding out, Xia Yu and the others had already left the UK!

And as long as the negotiations break down, Xia Yu will definitely not take the plane to Xiangjiang, so as to avoid being caught when he gets off the plane!

It's still difficult for Britain to catch him, so Xia Yu doesn't believe that the Wu family can still do anything with him!

At that time, as long as he leaves the UK, Xia Yu will definitely hurry up to build his own strength, and the Wu family can wait for his revenge!

As for looking for help from the embassy this time, he also expressed his stance in front of Qian Wenchao, which was also Xia Yu's intention.

First, as long as he shows his attitude, even if he doesn't make a request, as long as his value is still there, Huaxia will take the initiative to protect his safety, which is Huaxia's consistent style.

When the issue of recovering Xiangjiang has already appeared, he is the goal that the mainland will strive for, and if something happens to him, a tycoon with a heart for the mainland, it is definitely something that the mainland does not want to see!

The second is that his heart is to the mainland, which is indeed his true thought!

Thinking from the perspective of profit, Xia Yu has always been to turn to the motherland, no matter how successful a capitalist is, he will not be an opponent of a country, and if Xia Yu infringes on the interests of large European and American conglomerates, they can completely manipulate the government to deal with Xia Yu if the commercial means do not work.

Xia Yu would not think that he would be the opponent of the state apparatus!

Only a fool would think that a consortium can withstand the world's largest United States, and even add the suppression and targeting of Europe.

So the best thing to do is to blend in with them, eat at the same table with them, or find a backer who can be on an equal footing with them!

There is no need to think about integrating into them, black eyes and yellow skin are destined for Xia Yu In this white supremacy world, he can't blend in at all, and he can't climb to the top, he will only fall into the tiger's mouth.

Xia Yu can only integrate into the mainland, climb to the top, and stand at the top of the power as long as the mainland.

So whether it is love or reason, leaning towards the mainland is Xia Yu's only choice, and it is also the best choice under his dream of standing on top of the world!

Of course, Xia Yu will not dig out his heart and lungs all at once, the motherland is the motherland, the government is the government, and a certain department is a certain department, Xia Yu is very clear, if it is too easy for others to get it, he will be looked down upon and thought that he is a bully!

Therefore, it is enough to get ahead of others, first slightly show your attitude and tendency, as for how to get in touch in the future, it will be a matter for the future, and it will be slowly contacted in the future!

Now, without worries, let's see what Wu Hongyi's grandfather can come up with to apologize!

If you're not satisfied...... Don't blame him for turning his face!

Just as Xia Yu was thinking, the car finally came to Juelu Street and stopped at the door of the Phoenix Tower.
