Chapter 58

Latest chapter!

Looking at the girl asleep, Simon put down the children's book in his hands and gently got up to leave the bedroom, followed by Shulshkina and Antoine Co. who had been keeping watch.

It was only after they were out the door that Simon smiled and asked Ivana Antonenko, "How have the Yulia girls been?"

This time, of course, Yulia was not Shulshkina next to her, but Yulia Antonenko, Ivana's sister, and when she saw the man talking to her, Ivana hurriedly took some quick steps closer and said, "Very well, sir, Yulia has been missing you a lot."

Simon, unfazed by Ivana's imitation of Shulshkina's name for herself, smiled and said, "Don't you miss me?"

Ivana showed an embarrassed expression, but quickly nodded slightly: "Think."

Shulshkina waited until the man and Ivana had greeted each other, and then whispered, "Would you like to rest, sir, or, perhaps, something to eat?"

"Prepare some food, and, over at the underground pool, hot water ready, I'll take a bath."

The three came to the stairway, turned downstairs, and Shulshkina, nodding, asked again, "What would sir like to eat?"

"You watch."

"Then, sir, you take a rest," came downstairs, and Shulshkina guided Simon to a sitting room off the hall, and turned to Ivana, who was still following her, and said, "Eva, you go and prepare the bath water, and I will go over to the kitchen."

Hearing Shulshkina's command, Ivana watched the man sit down on the sofa and moved with some hesitation, but in the end turned around and went out.

Shulshkina fell behind, but not in a hurry, helped the man to turn on the TV, according to some information in the memory from a corner of the refrigerator to take a bottle of soda to Simon, and finally summoned another waitress to guard this side, and only then turned to the kitchen.

After ten minutes or so in this way, Shulshkina reappeared, with Ivana behind her, signaling the men that the evening meal and the pool were ready.

Simon got up and left this sitting room, taking a chance glance at the two women and said with a smile, "Let Nata come over to keep me company too, and if she avoids it again on purpose, I'll take her back to Ukraine."

"Okay."

Shulshkina agreed softly, but looked at Ivana, who this time finally some small reluctance, the two followed the man, a slight stalemate, in the end it was Ivana defeated, and took the initiative to walk away.

With the comfort of a private jet and a reasonable schedule, jet lag was never a big problem for Simon.

Ate a snack, soaked in a comfortable hot bath, and three women with them to add another 'snack', then a sleep until dawn.

Early morning.

Kensington Garden Street mansion on the second floor of a bedroom, five o'clock has been up Shulshkina busy chores, finally free to come to the daughter's bedroom, last night until too late, the little one slept really well, if it was any other time, Shulshkina will let her daughter sleep a little longer, but not today.

Feeling her mother gently calling her, the five-year-old girl opened her eyes, her eyes blinked, finally remembering something, sitting up without the slightest intention of staying in bed, her little head looking left and right in search: "Mom, where's Dad?"

"Dad is downstairs."

Shulshkina said, bringing the girl's clothes to help her daughter put them on, while softly saying, "Baby, what's the first thing you're going to say when you see Daddy later?"

"Good morning," the girl opened her arms to put on her clothes while skimming her lips again, "Mom, you've said it many times, Nina won't forget."

"So, what else?"

The little girl said, "You can be pampered in front of daddy, but more importantly, you have to know how to behave and not pester people if daddy has something to do. Or else daddy won't want Nina."

Shulshkina nodded her head, but then said, "What else?"

"Nina is a secret, in front of outsiders, never mention Dad's name, or else Dad will not want Nina either."

"Awesome."

I don't know how many times this has been quietly followed.

The time was a little after seven o'clock in the morning.

The girl bounced to the dining room at her mother's gesture, but found that Aunt Ivana had appeared here with Vera and was sitting in front of her father talking about something.

The little girl did not have any heart, politely said good morning, and pounced on Simon, and was soon held in his lap, looking at the three-year-old Vera in the arms of Aunt Ivana, childishly said: "Aunt Eva, Vera looks so sleepy oh."

Ivana Antonenko obviously smiled somewhat unnaturally and said, "Yes, but Vera is also grown up and has to be like Nina, not sleepy."

The little girl sniffed, nodded her head in recognition, and also raised her face to look at Simon: "Daddy must not like sleeping children, Nina never sleeps."

Simon lowered his chin against the girl's head: "Nina is great."

The two of them interacted intimately, and Ivana wanted to pinch the sickly little girl in her arms, just easily coaxed up and carried to the man, did not expect, because of seeing the stranger, but cried. It was hard to coax, still not dare to talk to the man next to him, like a little mute.

Not to mention shouting at the man ...... that.

That said, without someone's permission, she did not dare to teach.

So that was it.

Shulshkina looked softly at her daughter and the man talking small talk, and after a moment said, "Well, baby, it's time for breakfast, you can't stay in daddy's arms."

The little girl nodded obediently, remembering her mother's various teachings on a regular basis, unlike her father who didn't want her and her mother, and obediently left Simon's arms and sat on the chair next to her.

Satisfied with her daughter's reaction, Shulshkina looked again at Ivana on the other side of the table, "Eva, it's better to let Vera go back to sleep for a while."

Ivana was tempted to say no, but was held by Shulhikina's seemingly flat gaze, only to insist for a moment, or once again compromised, holding the child to get up, and finally tried to get her daughter to say goodbye to the man, but could teach two sentences, the girl did not speak, and also looked like she was going to cry out again, only to give up.

Simon for the women between the little undercurrents as if unaware, waiting for Ivana to carry the little girl away, casually said to Ivana: "Later you can often take Nina to North America."

The mother has not yet replied, the little girl who responded has excitedly wanted to jump into Simon's arms again.

After all, gradually growing up, the girl actually knows that Simon lives in North America for a long time, just because of her mother's indoctrination, she also knows that her father is very busy at work, and, in order not to disturb his work, they can not often go over to visit, and can only wait for his father to come over.

Now, Dad's so said, in the future should be able to often go to that, the United States, right?

A little reaction, the girl still once again look at their mother.

Shulshkina nodded slightly and made a reminder look again, "Quickly thank Daddy."

"Thank you, Daddy."

Shulhikina watched as the girl once again jumped into Simon's arms, and the man did not refuse, and likewise did not do anything more, and once again got up and walked to the kitchen next door, and soon served breakfast with Carmen Keyes and the A-girls.

Today is April 11, Friday.

For the next two consecutive days, Simon spent his time in a full work schedule.

It was mainly the various properties of the Westeros system over here.

Daenerys Entertainment UK, Ygritte UK, the UK branch of Westeros, and even the increasing number of various private properties over here in the UK. He even took the time to visit the ARM headquarters in Cambridge, a company that Tinker Bell has completely pocketed, and the iPad-10, which will be released this fall, is using ARM's latest processor architecture.

So it was Saturday evening, finally the most important meeting of the trip to the UK.

The venue was the Royal Opera House, just west of Kensington Park.

The first stop of the tour after New York was chosen here, starting in March. Compared to the 9 shows in New York, London signed a total of 12 shows, one every Wednesday and one every Saturday.

Because of the sensation caused during the New York show, the London side also had a hard time finding tickets.

Of course, these so-called hard-to-find tickets are certainly not related to certain classes of people.

The meeting was led by Murdoch, and the old man had recently come to London, and for this evening performance, a box was specially requested, with only three people, Simon, Murdoch and Labour Party leader and prime ministerial candidate Tony Blair.

Once in history, at the public level, Blair was the first Labour Prime Minister after 18 years of Conservative rule in the UK, but privately, the British Prime Minister, to a large extent, was actually Murdoch's single-handed promotion to power, so the two sides are very deeply involved. However, the relationship had its ups and downs, mainly until a certain odd woman's affair with Blair came to light.

Simon was reminded of this when he climbed into conversation with the two while watching the show in the box.

If not for his own appearance, Murdoch should probably have met a certain odd woman, only, this time, it might be regrettable again. A needle in a haystack, Simon even if you want to help Murdoch, well, plus Blair, to renew a strange relationship, it is unlikely to find someone.

Simon and Murdoch are very familiar, for Blair is the first time to meet, so it is certainly not possible to talk about too formal topics.

However, Simon also understands one thing, compared to the Conservative Party, even if the political position of the Labour Party is somewhat similar to the Democratic Party in the United States, leaning towards the working class, but in fact, Blair is still the standard establishment, which is very good operation.

You know, although Britain's influence in the international political arena is getting weaker and weaker, but this time, since the Westeros system is rooted in the United States, Britain is the natural ally of the Westeros system in Europe.

It even plays a sort of bridgehead role.

The Westeros system has been operating seemingly quietly in the UK in recent years, but it is also blooming on all sides, with very extensive layouts in entertainment, technology, fashion, etc.

Therefore it is also necessary to play a good relationship with the authorities.

Nearly two hours of communication, Blair obviously also want to play a good relationship with Simon, which is also the best one result, even to the end, also took the initiative to bring up a serious matter, hinting that will help Simon to fix the matter of the platinum engine company.

The acquisition of Platinum Engines by the Carlyle Group has been completed.

However, when the Carlyle Group recently revealed that it would close some factories in the UK and shift production lines to Asia, it immediately sparked concern from all sides again. After all, the closure of factories means a large number of workers out of work, and workers mean votes, and even behind the scenes also involved trade unions.

All in all, it is also a tangled mess.

Now the problem is that the British authorities will not really intervene, if more serious, will certainly be very troublesome, after all, involving the transfer of technology, Downing Street a ban will be able to let you inch, if not more serious, turn a blind eye, things can also be implemented, the workers at most just a furore, in the end can not turn the sky.

Blair so promised, obviously implying that he came to power, for this matter will turn a blind eye.

Simon is also quite appreciative of this.

The relationship is in this kind of back and forth in the step by step deep up.

So this meeting can be considered a happy one.

The show ended with Blair taking the initiative to say goodbye, leaving Simon and Murdoch some space for private communication.

After all, this meeting is also a favor given by Murdoch.

Murdoch is also not polite, wait for Blair to leave, and chanting to mention the "Mummy 2" thing, hope that this project can be developed as soon as possible, rather than to Paramount side of the "Dishonored 2" as delayed.

Simon, of course, did not deliberately make things difficult and agreed to do so.

Once again sending Murdoch away, Simon did not leave, but waited for the show to end, quietly picked up a certain Liu woman together, and moved to another private house located in the Thames.

It was not too late to take the woman back to her residence, and iu's little girl did not rest, and looked quite happy to see Simon appear.

Because of the tour, Ms. Liu to go all the way with the group, originally Miumiu stay in Long Island to continue to go to school is no problem, certainly not lack of people to take care of, however, the girl at first to Simon said, want to stay with his mother, Simon promised down, Ms. Liu also did not oppose.

After beckoning a bit and coming to sit on the living room sofa, Simon beckoned towards the little girl and Miumiu naturally sat over and was cupped into Simon's arms.

Ms. Liu saw the man holding his daughter's appearance, can always feel a ...... play with the feeling, just gradually get used to it, also pretend not to know.

"So, have you been listening lately?"

"Dad, you are so childish with this question."

"Heh, then say something not childish, does it feel good to drop out of school?"

Miumiu heard Simon say that, he suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, after all, not going to school is something that anyone must like, just that, after gradually growing up, the child must have learned that it is definitely not right.

Ms. Liu personally prepared coffee over, listened to Simon and daughter this talk, interjected: "I now want to send Miumiu back to the United States, arranged for her tutor, the result is not at all properly learn, all day long just know play."

The girl immediately made a reluctant face, wrapped her arms around Simon's neck and pouted, "Daddy, I don't want to."

Simon rubbed the slender body in his arms and laughed: "No, no, there is an old Chinese saying that 'a woman without talent is virtue', Miumiu will just learn to play the piano, sing and dance."

The girl nodded her head in a hurry.

Ms. Liu saw the man so finished, then lowered his head and daughter whispered up, after a pause, still did not say the words of rebuttal, considered acquiescence.
