Chapter 519： City of London

Although the Thames is not as long as the great rivers of other countries, the place it flows through has nurtured the splendid English civilization.

The Thames River passes through London, dividing the Greater London administration into north and south. Various buildings symbolizing the history and culture of England are distributed on both sides of the river.

Xia Yu sat on the seat of the Boeing 747 near the window, overlooking the morning view of London, which was a special experience.

After a while, the plane landed at Heathrow International Airport. Xia Yu and his group walked out of the VIP passage and found Xue He and Song Yang waiting outside the airport. Behind them, there were all black cars.

"boss!"

Xue He and Song Yang came quickly to meet Xia Yu and shouted to Xia Yu with smiles on their faces.

"Ok!"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, glanced at the row of waiting cars, and smiled with satisfaction.

Li Wuming and others who followed Xia Yu walked over and stuffed their luggage into the trunk of the car.

"Are you all settled?"

Xia Yu asked casually.

Xue He replied: "Boss, we have rented an apartment in the City of London, which is more convenient for our operations. We started to move as soon as we settled down yesterday. Early this morning, Liu Xiao and others have already started construction, so The two of us are here to greet you!"

"Starting? Very efficient!"

Xia Yu said with satisfaction.

The City of London, or the City of London for short, is the economic center of London. Although it is only 2.6 square kilometers in size, it has gathered more than 100 domestic banks and more than 500 foreign banks. Around the Bank of England, the Central Bank of England.

As a financial center, land prices and rents are naturally top-notch. Liu Xiao and others settled there. Although it is a bit more expensive, it is better than convenience.

Time is money, this little money really should not be saved.

Big money is always earned, not saved!

"Boss, do you want to go first now?"

Noting that everything was put in the car, Song Yang asked.

Xia Yu looked at Li Qian, who was struggling, and thought that Liu Xiao and others had already acted. He didn't need to go so early.

Moreover, his suburban villa in the UK is cleaned by housekeepers and servants every day, but he hasn't been there for nearly half a year, so let's go and take a look.

Living outside, after all, is not as comfortable as living at home.

Therefore, Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I have a villa in Hampshire. Let's go and settle down there now."

After speaking, Xia Yu took Li Qian to a car.

Although Xue He and Song Yang accidentally owned a villa in the United Kingdom by their boss, they just obeyed the boss's orders in a few days.

Soon, a group of people got into the car, and the car followed Xia Yu's guidance, and the driver of the car rental company drove towards Hampshire.

After about an hour or so, the car finally arrived outside the villa.

It happened that a servant was pushing the lawn mower to weed the grass. He saw a row of cars suddenly appeared, put down his work, and came to the closed big iron gate.

"This is a private property, do you have anything to do here?"

Xia Yu recognized the servant, rolled down the window and stuck his head out, and said to the servant, "Ham, it's me, open the door!"

"Mister is back!"

The servant Ham was taken aback, then smiled in surprise, exclaimed and quickly opened the door, stood by the door, bowed slightly and watched the car drive into the manor.

The manor, which had been quiet and peaceful for half a year, suddenly remembered the roar of engines. The old housekeeper Flander in the villa immediately ran out. After seeing Xia Yu and others come down, he smiled happily.

"Sir, you are finally back!"

Flander said with excitement, and bowed to Xia Yu.

"This is Flander, the butler of my estate."

Xia Yu said in Chinese to the puzzled Song Yang and others, and then smiled and said to the old butler: "Flanders, it's nice to see you again."

"It can be seen that the manor was well taken care of when I was away! Thank you for your hard work!"

"No hard work, this should be done!"

"Sir, miss, come in!"

The hard work was praised by Xia Yu, Flanders smiled happily, and then led Xia Yu and others into the house.

Obviously, the inside of the villa has been carefully taken care of every day, and every part of it is not stained, which shows that Flanders has managed it properly.

Xia Yu asked everyone to take things and follow him upstairs to set them up. After some cleaning, when he came down, he just saw that the five servants had arrived and stood in a row respectfully.

Old butler Flander, nanny Susan, servant Ham, Jones and Jack.

They were all very happy to see Xia Yu coming back. Xia Yu chatted with them a few words, and after encouragement, they went down again, leaving only the old housekeeper Flander and the nanny Susan working in the house.

"Gentlemen, please use tea!"

"Thank you!"

Xia Yu took a sip of tea and breathed a long breath, feeling comfortable all over.

"Flander, has anything happened during my absence for the past six months?"

Xia Yu asked Flander, the old butler, to sit down and asked him softly.

"Nothing big happened. Except for the occasional outing tourists who come here to seek some help, your friend named Wu often comes and asks me if you have come back."

"The day before yesterday, he returned to live in the house next door, walked here, but left with disappointment."

Old butler Flander answered truthfully.

"Well, I got it."

Xia Yu nodded slightly, thinking of Wu Hongyi, and a smile appeared on his face.

While in Xiangjiang, Wu Hongyi occasionally made international calls to chat with Xia Yu, and Xia Yu also knew some of his situation.

Since he cheered up, things have been very busy, and he has been unable to get out of his body. Several times he said that he wanted to find a chance to come to Xiangjiang, but he failed.

He always told Xia Yu that he must be notified when Xia Yu comes to Britain.

Wu Hongyi is Xia Yu's only friend in London and even the United Kingdom. Whether it is for affection or courtesy, since he is in London, he naturally has to tell him.

Besides, Xia Yu will stay here for a long time, and there will be no less exchanges in the future.

"I'm going to make a call!"

After speaking, Xia Yu got up and came to the table and dialed a number to go out.

The call came to Wu Hongyi’s home, but unfortunately he didn’t answer it. Xia Yu changed another number and called the Phoenix Building in Chinatown. He was picked up by Uncle Chang from the Phoenix Building. Yu waited a moment, and he would inform Wu Hongyi to call back.

City of London, UU Reading , the headquarters of the Chinese Commercial Bank, and the office of the president.

Wu Hongyi is dressed in a formal suit, sitting at his desk working with documents, exuding a calm atmosphere.

"Ring Ling Ling!"

"What? Xia Yu called me and said he had returned to London and was at his residence? Okay, I see, Uncle Chang, I'll hang up first."

After Wu Hongyi answered, with a happy smile on his face, he immediately dialed the special number in his memory.

Soon, the phone was connected, and Xia Yu's unfamiliar and familiar voice came on the phone. Wu Hongyi said happily: "Xia Yu, have you come to London? When did you arrive?"

"Have you just arrived? Then I'll come over right away... I'm at the headquarters of the Chinese Commercial Bank in the City of London... You will come over in the afternoon if you have something to do? Well, come that night..."

After chatting with Xia Yu happily for more than ten minutes, Wu Hongyi hung up the phone with great enthusiasm. After thinking about it, he dialed the number of the Phoenix Building again: "Uncle Chang, I will have dinner in the restaurant tonight. Go get ready. Ingredients..."
