章節 608: Chapter 608: Keeping Elena
In the suburbs of London, at Xia Yu's country estate.
Henry Howard was practising boxing attentively on the grass, while Li Wuming stood by with a cold expression, occasionally giving him pointers.
'Elena, Henry really has a lot of perseverance,'
Xia Yu said to Elena with a smile, leaning over from the bench by the flowerbed.
Elena replied sweetly with a charming smile and fluttering eyelashes: 'Yes, when someone has found their goal, they will not lack the perseverance to work hard for their goals and dreams. I am very happy that Henry has found his own happiness.'
Xia Yu nodded with a smile, and then both of them fell silent. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little strange.
Perceiving Xia Yu's smiling gaze upon her, Elena turned her head and glanced at Xia Yu. Seeing the smile in Xia Yu's eyes, her heartbeat quickened slightly, and she reminded him, 'Xia Yu, what are you thinking?'
Xia Yu came back to his senses and saw the faint blush on Elena's pretty face. He smiled and said, 'I was thinking, how could there be such an outstanding girl as you in the world? Not only are you multi-talented, you are also very capable.'
On hearing this, Elena was not shy at all. She rolled her eyes coquettishly and said slightly sarcastically, 'I can understand that you are praising yourself. I can play the piano, and you play it better than me. You say that I am capable, but I happen to be working for you, who is younger than me.'
Although it was a sarcastic comment, as she spoke, Elena's eyes were full of admiration, even with an unspecified meaning.
The deeper she got to know Xia Yu, the more deeply she was touched. How could there be such an outstanding person in the world? She was full of drive and tried to learn from Xia Yu's life journey and work life to benefit herself, but the more she learned, the more questions she had in her heart, and the more curious she became about Xia Yu.
It is said that when a woman is curious about a man, the woman begins to fall.
Even Elena didn't realise that she would think of Xia Yu unconsciously in many situations.
She had never been in love before, so she had no idea what it was like. Plus, she knew that Li Xi was Xia Yu's girlfriend, and she and Li Xi were still good friends, so she never thought that she would get involved with Xia Yu.
She was simply just friends. She didn't realise it, and Li Xi, as someone who had been there, although she had a slight suspicion, chose to remain silent and not get involved.
Only Xia Yu felt it, and his manly instincts also made him a little attracted to the beautiful, pure and noble Elena.
However, although he tends to let his emotions run wild, when it comes to Elena, he just goes with the flow and takes things as they come.
But Xia Yu is completely deluding himself, or rather, making excuses for his own shortcomings. He always intentionally or unintentionally ignores the distance between him and Elena, for example, joking around at work, exchanging piano tips with Elena in his spare time, going to Elena's house, or inviting Elena to his house, as well as letting Elena be the tour guide and lead everyone on a tour together, etc.
This time, he once again invited Elena and her siblings to his home for two reasons: one was that he was about to leave the UK, and the other was that Rolls-Royce Motor Cars had been acquired. As agreed, Elena could resign and leave at any time, and he didn't want to wait until his next return and find that Elena was gone.
He realised this, and so did Elena, which was why they had both fallen silent.
'Okay, Elena, I see that I've said the wrong thing. Let's change the subject.'
'You've worked hard on the Rolls-Royce Motors acquisition. You've done a great job,'
Xia Yu said sincerely.
Elena gave a sweet smile and shook her head slightly. 'It hasn't been hard at all. I should be thanking you for giving me such a great internship opportunity and believing in me so much, which has been a huge gain for me,'
she said. 'Really, I've had a very fulfilling and happy time!'
At this, Elena pursed her lips and looked at Xia Yu with a soft and smiling gaze.
'Really?'
Xia Yu asked with a smile.
'Yes!'
Elena nodded her head lightly with a smile on her face.
'That's good...'
'So what are your plans next? Rolls-Royce Motor Cars has already been acquired.'
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu said slowly, looking directly at Elena.
Elena suppressed her smile and looked into the distance without immediately answering Xia Yu's question.
Xia Yu couldn't help but slow down his breathing and wait quietly for her words.
After a long time, Elena said as if to herself, 'Before graduating from university, I didn't have a clear idea of my abilities, but during the Rolls-Royce acquisition, I deeply felt the gap between myself and those elites. Although I have improved a lot, the gap is still obvious.'
'Although I have been working very hard, I know that throughout the acquisition process, most of the credit does not go to us. The acquisition team only did the most basic things, and the main credit goes to you and my father.'
'So I feel that I still have a lot to learn, and I am still your employee, so of course you arrange my work.'
'If... you don't think I can be of much help, then I will listen to my father and go to the family company to gain experience.'
Having said that, Elena turned her head to look at Xia Yu, a faint smile appeared on her pretty face, and there was no lack of anticipation.
Xia Yu grinned and said without hesitation, 'Of course you can help me. Then, happy cooperation!'
Saying this, Xia Yu held out his hand and looked at Elena expectantly.
Elena smiled brightly and placed her delicate hand in Xia Yu's: 'Happy cooperation!'
What she didn't notice was that her tone of voice at the moment carried a hint of joy and excitement.
...
The next day, in the office of Guangming Fund, Xia Yu called in George Berkeley and asked him to involve Elena in the entire acquisition plan. Then Xia Yu told Elena about the grand acquisition strategy.
After listening to Xia Yu's introduction, Elena was shocked and once again refreshed her opinion of Xia Yu. Then she waved her small hands and enthusiastically got involved.
Before leaving the UK, Xia Yu visited the Daily Telegraph and Financial Times, two companies that had given him many valuable opinions that had been tested by experience.
At the Financial Times Group, Xia Yu also specifically learned about the construction of financial indices. According to his original strategic guidance, the construction of financial indices has made rapid progress over the past few months and is in its final stages, with a launch possible in as little as a month.
At that time, the financial index that will influence the financial world of the UK and even Europe will be released, and the Global Times will begin its journey to world fame.
Afterwards, he went to Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to get some information. When he finally left, Xia Yu took half of the people with him, including Liu Zong, who had been stuck in the UK for a long time.
At 7 pm, at London Heathrow International Airport, Xia Yu and his entourage boarded the plane again.
The destination: Hong Kong!
