"The things are here."
"Where is she?"
"She went out for something, said she wonāt be back tonight."
"Good!"
Sheng Ning handed the keys and name tag to Demira, "Hereās everything for you. Tomorrow, Iāll transfer an initial sum to you. From now on, the theaterās management, operations, and promotions are all in your hands. As for me, my focus is on the dance drama and performance."
"You perform?" Demira really didnāt expect this beautiful and exquisite woman in front of her to be in the same profession.
When they first met, she didnāt pay much attention to Sheng Ning, or rather, she looked down on her. Always thought she was a rich girl doing this purely out of boredom.
Just squandering money.
Sheng Ning executed a high-level dance spin, a full three hundred and sixty degrees, as light as a swallow. The expression on her face as she danced was mesmerizing, as if she was born to dance and the stage inherently belonged to her.
Wherever she is, thatās where the stage is.
The place she stands should be where the spotlight gathers.
Demira was dumbfounded, her interest and profession destined her with a keen ability to judge character. When she witnessed everything Sheng Ning showcased, she couldnāt help but feel her blood boil.
This was simply a natural talent, aside from talent, she really couldnāt think of a better compliment.
And she was so beautiful, especially when dancing, even a woman would feel her heart skip a beat.
"Good... really good." She couldnāt help but applaud, expressing her fascinated admiration.
"Sister is amazing." Anāan also joined in clapping. Although she didnāt understand the appreciation, for Anāan, complex data, formulas, and bewildering research projects were more captivating.
Sheng Ning stopped and said proudly, "Iām already a married woman who has had children, seems like Iām not as agile as before."
"I think your former teacher must be very troubled by your having children."
"Hahaha..."
Both exchanged smiles, only those with similar interests can understand each other and understand the meaning in Demiraās words.
*****
After Demira left with the keys, Anāan held onto Sheng Ningās sleeve, hesitating to speak.
"Whatās wrong?" Sheng Ning suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
"Donāt rush, letās sit down and talk slowly."
The first floor was the theaterās lobby, with many elegant booth seats. The two casually found a spot by the window. This meeting, the sisters hadnāt really had a chance to talk openly, there were always various matters. Often busy taking care of two kids, she ended up neglecting Anāan.
"Anāan, I am sorry!"
"Why say sorry to me?" Anāan was surprised, "Did you do something to wrong me? Or are you abandoning me?"
"... Should she say Anāan has been influenced by spending too much time with the Little Hooligan?"
"Anāan, I canāt return home yet, but you should go back first! This way, I can be at ease." Sheng Ning had been considering this. Keeping Anāan in M country was indeed too dangerous.
Presumably, Hai Yunfeng might be close to panic back home?
"And I canāt rest easy with just our parents at home. They must be worried about us too; both of them are elderly and shouldnāt always live in fear."
Thinking about this, Sheng Ning felt she was quite filial.
"And what about you? When can you come back?"
"Before the Lunar New Year." Sheng Ning had already planned it, there were two months left until the Spring Festival, and by then the initial matters of the theater should be sorted.
By then she could have a word with granduncle and should be able to go back for New Yearās.
