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

"Natsu-kun, Ms. Elena, I'm Shinichi Sumitomo, 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 to greet him on crutches to show their attention to him.

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

Of course Xia Yu can feel it.

Therefore, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he shook hands with Sumitomo Shinichi and thanked him: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, I'm really sorry to let you greet you personally. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xia is the most honored guest of our family, and he should be received by me. ”

Shinichi Sumitomo said with a kind smile.

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

"You please!"

......

After a few polite prevarications with each other, Xia Yu walked inside together at the warm invitation of Sumitomo Shinichi, while Elena whispered to Sumitomo Kumiko.

The Sumitomo family is one of the top families in the island country, with a long heritage, which can be felt from the various layouts in the living room, which has a great cultural connotation.

But he only looked at it for a moment before withdrawing his gaze.

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

"Hello, Mr. Sumitomo Kosuke!"

"Xia Jun, hello!"

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

"Haha......"

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

Of course, it is said that it is a group of people chatting, but in fact, Xia Yu and Sumitomo Shinichi are basically chatting, Sumitomo Kosuke occasionally talks a few words, and Elena and Sumitomo Kumiko are smiling and listening quietly.

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

"Although we have never met before, Xia Jun, your name is like thunder, and I have been looking forward to getting to know you. ”

Sumitomo Shinichi asked Xia Yu with a smile, and praised Xia Yu lightly.

The sedan chair carries people, and the flattery in words does not cost anything, and Xia Yu will naturally not be stingy.

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

"I did my homework before coming to the island nation, you single-handedly created the current Sumitomo Foundation and brought the Sumitomo family back to prosperity, and I have always wanted to ask you for advice, but I have never had the opportunity. ”

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

"Xia Jun is too modest, he doesn't dare to ask for advice, let's discuss with each other. ”

"Yesterday I was still telling Kosuke that he has lived for such an age, and he is completely incomparable to you, and he still doesn't believe it, so he just took advantage of today's opportunity to let him recognize his abilities. ”

As he spoke, Shinichi Sumitomo glanced at Kosuke Sumitomo, who smiled awkwardly.

This technique of belittling one's own person and flattering others can close the distance without moving and relax the other person's nerves even more.

However, Xia Yu is actually an old fox with a young appearance but a furrow in his chest, and he can easily find out, but he also came with the mentality of getting closer to the Sumitomo family, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Sumitomo Shinichi, Mr. Sumitomo Kosuke's ability is much stronger than mine, the most obvious is that he can be in charge of Sumitomo Bank, while I have been idle, this is the most obvious gap." ”

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

"Hahaha......"

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

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

"You may ask, but I will know everything and answer everything. ”

......

When Sumitomo Shinichi said this, Xia Yu didn't care about it, he had a hunch that there must be some gains from this visit, otherwise Sumitomo Shinichi would be beating himself in the face.

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

Although Xia Yu thinks that he is the strongest in the world with a view of the overall situation, he is a man rather than a god after all, and he can't understand all aspects, and there are always some shortcomings or ignoring certain places.

And this chat inspired him a lot.

At the same time, he also learned from Sumitomo Shinichi's words and attitudes that some of the more secret things of the major families and consortia in the island country, and there were some old grievances that could not be investigated by the intelligence department of the net.

Overall, this visit can be said to be very fruitful.

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

In the next week, Xia Yu and Elena formed a group with Cindy Mellon to travel around the island countries of Tokyo, Nagano, Hokkaido and other places to enjoy the characteristic scenery of the island country.

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

However, Sendy Mellon is a very aura and likable girl, with a very touching smile and a very sweet mouth, and Elena can't be angry with her, so she is depressed for a while and accepts the reality.

In addition to the three of them, Sumitomo Kumiko, a college classmate of Cindy Mellon, is also in the team, for good reason, she is an island country, she wants to be a good host, and she entertained Xia Yu and others, of course everyone will not refuse.

In addition to the bodyguards, the group left laughter and laughter all over the island country, and also left commemorative photos with their cameras.

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

"It's been over a week of fun, let's toast to the happy times of the past!"

"Bang!"

"Kumiko, thank you for your hard work, let you follow us everywhere 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 haven't been to most places, I am very happy to be able to go with everyone, thank you!"

After speaking, she picked up the cup containing rice wine with both hands, touched it lightly with Xia Yu, and then took a sip elegantly.

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

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

Cindy Mellon blinked her eyes and looked at Xia Yu with some expectation: "Xia Yu, I am going to follow the original plan, I want to go to your hometown Xiangjiang to see, I heard that Xiangjiang is the most prosperous place in Asia except for the island, and there is also a beautiful nickname called Oriental Jewel, I want to go and see it." ”

"I found out the information, and it was said that Xiangjiang belonged to Huaxia before, and I 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 is like?"

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

"Is Huaxia really 5,000 years old?"

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

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

Three pairs of beautiful eyes focused on themselves, 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 one among the four ancient countries that has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain and has been inherited to this day. ”

In 1979, an archaeological team discovered an ancient city and altar more than 6,000 years ago at the site of Chengtou Mountain in Xiang Province, China. ”

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

“......”

Seeing that the third daughter was attracted by what she said, Xia Yu was full of interest and told in detail what she knew about the civilization and characteristics of China.

At the same time, Elena and others also raised questions from time to time, and Xia Yu used his knowledge reserves to answer them in detail and seriously.

The Chinese civilization is full of charm, and it is not something that can be introduced in just three words.

Xia Yu's remark stimulated the curiosity of the three girls.

Cindy Mellon couldn't help but muttered wistfully: "The United States has only been founded for more than 200 years, and I really want to see what China with a 5,000-year-old culture is like." ”

"I once heard my father say that in the past 2,000 years, China has stood in the first position in the world most of the time. ”

"He's been to China a few times over the years, but he hasn't told me anything. ”

"I don't know when I'll have the opportunity to go to Huaxia to see ......"

Sumitomo Kumiko's ethereal, pure voice rang out immediately.

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

"Yes!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

After speaking, Xia Yu's eyes swept around, and finally fixed on Elena, he could see that Elena was actually very curious about Huaxia, but because of personality problems, it was not as obvious as that of Cindy Mellon and Sumitomo Kumiko.

Xia Yu groaned slightly, and suddenly said: "It seems that you all want to go to Huaxia to have a look, maybe I can take you there." ”
