Chapter 166: Doing Good Deeds Should Be Known
"How long do you plan to stay in Beijing?"
"Leaving tomorrow."
Liang was sitting at the entrance of the milk tea shop, holding Zhang Tian'ai in his arms, gently pinching her earlobe with his thumb and index finger, "Staying another day is just to see you."
He had originally booked a flight for 9:30 in the morning, but just before setting off, he suddenly thought of Zhang Tian'ai.
The last time they parted had been over two months, and he didn't know how she was doing at Mahua Theater, so he came to see her.
"It's pretty good, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Shen, and many theater teachers all take good care of me."
Zhang Tian'ai was slightly disappointed, having hoped and waited so long for Liang, only to spend a single day together.
The feelings were there to some extent, but more so, she had already experienced the benefits of having a strong backer.
As Liang's fame grew, Zhang Chen's attitude towards her improved as well.
In just two and a half months of joining the group, she was already able to play one of the lead roles in a stage play.
Everyone she met were good, kind people, willing to help her.
Had she not struggled for years in Hengdian, she might have almost believed that all was peaceful and orderly.
Zhang Tian'ai knew it all stemmed from Liang.
Liang asked, "Is Mahua having a performance tonight?"
Zhang Tian'ai thought for a moment, "There's one, but I'm not the lead. I'm just a supporting actress and bow out after the second scene."
She was just a supporting actress, and besides, the play was dominated by male roles, which is why she managed to take a leave and was free to hang out with Liang.
Liang smiled and said, "I've grown up so much and it seems I've never watched a stage play, let's go watch it tonight if there's nothing else."
Zhang Tian'ai was stunned, moved, and embraced Liang's neck with her arms, her eyes watery with deep affection.
She clearly understood that Liang was going to see the play purely to support and bolster her.
"Let's go, and stop by to talk to Zhang Chen to see if there's any new movie project."
Liang smiled lightly, kissed Zhang Tian'ai's cheek, making no attempt to hide that it was all for her.
He was not so high-minded; he believed in letting the beneficiary know of the good deeds.
If the beneficiary doesn't acknowledge his kindness, then the good deeds he did would be in vain.
Liang thought of an egg project, which Tang Caidie had almost finished reviewing, just waiting for his signature to authorize.
Leaving Wangfujing, Liang called Zhang Chen, and then the two headed to the Mahua Theater in the Xicheng District.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here all of a sudden, we weren't prepared at all."
Zhang Chen panted as he ran out from the inner theater, his face beaming with a radiant smile.
His eyes fell on Zhang Tian'ai as he said with a rueful smile, "Tian'ai, Mr. Lu is here, why didn't you inform us in advance?"
"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind, no preparation needed. It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision to come over."
Liang patted Zhang Tian'ai on the back of her head with an intimate gesture, "You have a leading role in a play later on, go get ready."
"Liang, Mr. Zhang, you guys talk. I'll go ahead and prepare," Zhang Tian'ai obediently nodded.
Her attitude towards Zhang Chen remained as respectful as usual, not using Liang's presence to throw her weight around.
Zhang Chen smiled genuinely, pleased, "Mr. Lu, you really are a benefactor to Mahua. Tian'ai has always been very diligent; she's quickly becoming one of our theater's beauties."
Liang smiled broadly, "Individual effort is definitely helpful, but in the face of a stage to display ambitions, it counts for little."
"You flatter me, Mr. Lu."
Zhang Chen beamed joyfully, seizing the opportunity to invite, "Tonight's play is called 'Friends', starting in an hour. Why don't you rest in our reception room first?"
Liang nodded, following Zhang Chen through the large theater to the administrative area behind, which also housed the Mahua's main headquarters.
People coming and going, a few of whom seemed like film and television actors, looked vaguely familiar to Liang, but he couldn't quite place them.
Zhang Chen introduced with a smile, "This is Mr. Lu from Tianxing."
"Mr. Lu, hello..."
Upon hearing their boss, everyone widened their eyes, their expressions filled with shock.
Because the new energy sector surged by 172 points today, Lu Liang once again made the hot
Mr. Xiao from the Securities and Futures Commission had called Lu Liang, asking for his opinion on the introduction of the circuit breaker mechanism.
What they discussed then was unknown.
Thus, there was a rumor that Mr. Xiao finally decided to cancel the circuit breaker mechanism because of Lu Liang's remarks.
