Chapter 1123: Secret Meeting

After a few glances at Xiao Nizi's cute appearance after falling asleep, Simon put down the children's book in his hand, got up lightly and left the bedroom, and Yulia Shulshikina and Ivana Antonenko, who had been guarding beside her, hurriedly followed out.

When he went out, Simon casually asked Ivana, "Yulia, how are they doing?"

Of course, this time Yulia is not Shulshitina next to her, but Ivana's sister Yulia Antonenko, after some things at the beginning, the girl and the other two girls were arranged by Simon to study in London, seeing the man talking to herself, Ivana hurriedly approached, with caution and respect in her tone: "Very good, sir, Yulia has always missed you." ”

Simon was noncommittal about Ivana imitating Shulshikina's name for herself, and said with a smile: "Don't you want me?"

Ivana showed an embarrassed expression, and her eyes flashed slightly, but she quickly nodded: "Yes." ”

Shulshitina and the other men greeted Ivana, and said softly: "Sir, do you want to rest, or, eat something?"

"Prepare some food, and also, over there in the underground pool, prepare hot water, and I'll take a bath." ”

The three of them came to the top of the stairs and turned downstairs, Shulshitina agreed, and asked, "What does the gentleman want to eat?"

"You look at it. ”

"Then, sir, you can rest first," Coming downstairs, Shulshitina led Simon to a living room next to the hall, turned to Ivana who was still with her, and said, "Eva, you go and prepare the bath water, and I'll go to the kitchen." ”

Ivana, hearing Shulshikina's command, watched the man sit down on the sofa, hesitated a little, and finally turned around and went out.

Shulshikina lagged behind, but she was not in a hurry, helped the man turn on the TV, took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator in the corner of the room and sent it to Simon according to the habit of the man in his memory, and finally summoned another waitress to guard here, and then turned to the kitchen.

After more than ten minutes like this, Shulshitina reappeared, with Ivana behind her, signaling the man to get ready for supper and the pool.

Simon got up and left the living room, glanced at the two women, and said, "Let Nata come over to accompany me too, and if you deliberately hide, I will take her back to Ukraine." ”

"Okay. ”

Shulshitina agreed softly, but looked at Ivana, Ivana finally had a little reluctance this time, and the two followed behind the man, a slight stalemate, in the end, Ivana retreated, and took the initiative to walk away.

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

After suppering in the bath, there were three women who accompanied me to add another 'dessert', and then slept until dawn.

Early in the morning.

In a bedroom on the second floor of the mansion on Kensington Garden Street, Shulsikina, who got up early and was busy with various affairs, finally came to her daughter's bedroom when she was close to breakfast.

Feeling her mother calling on herself, the five-year-old little girl opened her eyes, her eyes blinked, and finally remembered something, she sat up without the slightest intention of lying in bed, and looked left and right with her little head: "Mom, where is Dad?"

"Daddy is downstairs. ”

Shulsikina said, brought the girl's clothes to help her daughter put them on, and said softly: "Baby, what do you want to say when you see Daddy later?"

"Good morning," Xiao Nizi obediently opened her arms to put on her clothes, and pouted her lips again: "Mom, you have said it many times, Nina will not forget." ”

"So, what else?"

The little girl said: "You can be coquettish in front of your father, but you must be sensible, if your father has something to do, you can't pester people, otherwise your father won't want Nina." ”

Shulsikina nodded, and continued to help her daughter dress, but continued: "What else?"

"Nina is a secret, in front of outsiders, you must not mention your father's name, otherwise your father will not want Nina. Mom, you've said this many times, and Nina is smart and has never told anyone about it. ”

"Awesome. ”

I don't know how many times I have quietly followed the temptation, helped my daughter get dressed, washed up, and then came downstairs.

The time was past seven o'clock in the morning.

At the signal of her mother, the girl trotted all the way to the restaurant, but found that Aunt Ivana had appeared here with Vera, sitting in front of her father and talking about something.

The little girl didn't have any scheming, politely said good morning, pounced on Simon, and was soon held on her lap, looking at Vera in Ivana's arms, who was also like a doll, but looked listless and a little pitiful, and said unscrupulously: "Aunt Eva, Vera looks so sleepy." ”

Ivana Antonenko smiled visibly unnaturally and replied, "Yes, but Vera will soon be four years old, and like Nina, she can't sleep anymore." ”

When the little girl heard this, she nodded approvingly, and tried to raise her face to look at Simon behind her: "Dad definitely doesn't like children who sleep lazy, Nina never sleeps." ”

Simon lowered his chin and touched the girl's head: "Nina is so good." ”

Ivana watched the intimate interaction between the big and the small next to her, and she couldn't wait to pinch the little girl in her arms, just coaxed and hugged in front of the man, but she didn't expect to cry because she saw the living. finally coaxed it, but I still didn't dare to talk to the man next to me, like a little mute.

Not to mention shouting men...... That one.

Speaking of which, she didn't dare to teach without someone's permission.

Shulshitina looked at her daughter softly and talked to the man, and after a moment she said, "Okay, baby, it's time for breakfast, and you can't lie in your father's arms." ”

The little girl nodded obediently, remembering her mother's various teachings on weekdays, although she didn't want to leave her father's arms very, very much, but she didn't want her father to want herself and her mother, so she obediently got up and sat on the chair next to her.

Shulsikina was very satisfied with her daughter's reaction, and looked at Ivana on the other side of the table: "Eva, let's let Vera go to sleep for a while." ”

Ivana wanted to say no, but was stared at by Shulshikina's seemingly indifferent gaze, just insisted for a moment, compromised again, got up with the child in her arms, and finally wanted her daughter to say goodbye to the man, and after teaching two sentences, the girl didn't speak, and she looked like she was going to cry again, so she had to give up.

Simon didn't seem to be aware of the little undercurrent between women, and when Ivana left with the little girl in her arms, he casually said to Ivana: "You can often bring Nina to the United States in the future." ”

Before the mother could reply, the little girl was already excited to throw herself into Simon's arms again.

After all, growing up, the girl actually knew that Simon had lived in the United States for a long time, but because of her mother's indoctrination, she also knew that her father was very busy with work, and in order not to disturb her father's work, they couldn't go over to visit often, so they could only wait for him to take the initiative to come. Because I waited too long, I whispered to Meow three times, and I almost decided not to love my dad anymore.

Now, Dad said that, I should be able to go to that more often in the future, the United States, right?

After a slight reaction, the girl still looked at her mother again.

Shulsikina nodded slightly, and made another reminder look: "Thank you, Dad." ”

"Thank you Dad. ”

Shulshikina watched the girl still throw herself into Simon's arms again, and the man did not refuse, and said no more, got up and walked to the next kitchen, and soon served breakfast with Carmen Cayss and Girl A.

Today is Friday, April 11th.

For the next two days, Simon spent two days in a row with a full work schedule.

Mainly the various industries of the Westeros system on this side.

Daenerys Entertainment UK, Eagle UK, Westeros UK, and the growing number of private properties in the UK. I also made a trip to ARM's headquarters in Cambridge City, which has been fully owned by Tinkobay, and the iPad-10, which will be released this fall, uses ARM's latest processor architecture.

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

The location is at the Royal Opera House, west of Kensington Park, not far from the River Thames.

The first stop of the tour after the National Style Art Troupe in New York was chosen here, starting in March, compared with the 9 performances in New York, a total of 12 performances were signed in London, also every Wednesday and Saturday.

Because of the sensation caused during the New York performance, tickets are also hard to come by in London.

Of course, these so-called hard votes certainly have nothing to do with certain classes of people.

The meeting was brokered by Murdoch, and the old man recently came to London for this reason, and the evening performance was specially set up in a box, not counting the guards, only three people, Simon, Murdoch and Anthony Blair, the leader of the Labour Party and candidate for prime minister.

In history, at the public level, Blair was the first Labour Prime Minister after the British Conservative Party was in power for 18 years, but in private, the British Prime Minister was largely pushed to power by Murdoch, so the two sides were very deeply implicated.

It's a pity that this relationship came to an abrupt end after a strange woman's affair with Blair was exposed.

Simon was talking to the two while watching the performance in the box when he remembered it.

If he hadn't appeared, Murdoch might have met a strange woman, but this time, he might have to regret it. Looking for a needle in a haystack, Simon even if he wants to help Murdoch, huh...... Coupled with Blair, it is not easy to find someone if you renew the two romances.

Simon and Murdoch knew each other well, but Blair was meeting for the first time, so it was impossible to talk about too formal topics.

However, Simon also understands that compared with the Conservative Party, even if the political position of the Labor Party is somewhat similar to that of the Democratic Party in the United States, leaning towards the working class, in fact, Blair is still the standard establishment.

That's easy to do.

Although Britain's influence on the international political arena is getting weaker, this time, now that the Westeros system is rooted in the United States, Britain is the natural ally of the Westeros system in Europe.

And even play the role of some kind of bridgehead.

The Westeros system in the UK in recent years seems to be quiet, but it is also blossoming in all directions, entertainment, technology, fashion and other aspects, there is a very wide layout.

Therefore, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the authorities.

The performance, which lasted for more than an hour, everyone's mind was not too focused on the stage, and Blair obviously wanted to have a good relationship with Simon, and in the end, he also took the initiative to bring up a serious matter, hinting that he would help Simon get the matter of Platinum Engine Company.

The Carlyle Group's acquisition of Platinum Engines has been completed.

However, when the Carlyle Group recently revealed that it was going to close some factories in the UK and move production lines to Asia, it immediately aroused the attention and backlash of all parties. After all, the closure of factories means the unemployment of a large number of workers, and the workers mean votes, and even the trade union forces behind it.

All in all, it's a mess of thorns.

The question now is whether the British authorities will intervene more seriously, if they are more serious, it will definitely be very troublesome, after all, when it comes to technology transfer, a ban on Downing Street can make it difficult for you to move an inch, if you don't take it seriously, turn a blind eye, and things can be carried out, and the workers will make a fuss for a while at most, and they can't turn the sky upside down.

Blair's promise is obviously a hint that he will turn a blind eye to this matter after he comes to power.

Simon is also quite sympathetic to this.

The relationship is deepened step by step in this kind of coming-and-going.

So the meeting was a great joy for all.

At the end of the performance, Blair also took the initiative to say goodbye very interestingly, leaving Simon and Murdoch some space for private communication.

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

Murdoch was not polite, and when Blair left, he brought up the matter of "The Mummy 2" again, hoping that this project could be developed as soon as possible, instead of dragging it out like Paramount's "Mission Impossible" series.

Simon didn't intend to be embarrassed, so he casually agreed.

Seeing Murdoch off again, Simon did not leave there, but waited for the performance to end, quietly picked up a woman surnamed Liu with him, and turned to another private house on the banks of the Thames.

It's not too late.

Returning to the residence with the woman, a certain little girl named Miumiu did not rest, and was quite happy to see Simon appear.

Because of the tour, Ms. Liu had to follow the group all the way, and it was no problem for Miumiu to stay on Long Island to continue school, and there was definitely no shortage of people to take care of, but the girl told Simon that she wanted to stay with her mother, but in fact, she didn't want to go to school, and Simon agreed, and Ms. Liu did not object.

After saying hello and sitting down on the sofa in the living room, Simon beckoned to the little girl, and Miumiu naturally sat down and was held in his arms.

Ms. Liu can feel that the appearance of a man holding his daughter is obviously not an elder to a junior, but more like a cat, but after gradually getting used to it, she pretends not to know.

"So, have you been obedient lately?"

"Dad, you're so naΓ―ve about this question. ”

"Heh, then it's not naΓ―ve, doesn't it feel good to drop out of school?"

When Miumiu heard Simon say this, he immediately showed an embarrassed expression, after all, everyone must like this kind of thing if they don't go to school. It's just that the child must also know that this must be wrong.

Ms. Liu personally prepared coffee and brought it over, listened to Simon and her daughter's words, and interjected: "I want to send Miumiu back to the United States, and I arranged a tutor for her, she is not good at studying, and she knows how to play all day long." ”

When the little girl in her arms heard this, she immediately made a reluctant gesture, hugged Simon's neck and coquettishly: "Dad, I don't want it." ”

Simon held the slender body in his arms and said with a smile: "Don't want it, don't you want it, isn't there an old saying in China, called 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', Miumiu can learn to play the piano and dance in the future." ”

The girl nodded hurriedly.

When Ms. Liu saw that the man said something so casually, she lowered her head and whispered to her daughter, obviously the final decision, and paused, without refuting anything. Everything is given by him now, and she doesn't want to give up her luxurious life at this time no matter what, so she naturally understands that she has no choice in front of him.
