"You think your son is so desperate for a girlfriend that he thinks we're all heartthrobs?"
Lu Fei earnestly explained, "Believe it or not, the way Hong Mei looked at you was completely different from how she looked at Yi Feng and me. She was so shy, as if she saw her own reflection. If you tell me she's not interested in you, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death."
"I don't have that much charm. Besides, I have a wife and kids. She's a single girl, what could she possibly see in me?" Qiang Zi worked in interior decoration. Although he wasn't exposed to the sun or rain, it was still a strenuous job.
As a result, Qiang Zi looked a few years older than his peers and was very ordinary-looking. If you threw him in a crowd, you wouldn't remember him after the first glance.
The only thing he could boast about was his sturdy physique, which gave a sense of security.
But standing next to Hong Mei, he looked like they belonged to different generations, not a match at all.
Therefore, Qiang Zi didn't believe Hong Mei would really take a liking to him.
Yifeng's opinion differed from Ms. Xu's. Although she was a strong businesswoman and didn't need financial support from a man, Yifeng was also not bad. He had bought a luxury car and a house at a young age and had established a vegetable company.
His future was limitless. Moreover, he was handsome and exceptionally attentive to children.
For Ms. Xu, who was already divorced, Liu Yifeng perfectly fit her criteria for remarriage.
Seeing that Qiang Zi still didn't believe him, Lu Fei could only turn to Liu Yifeng, "Yifeng, tell me, is your former colleague interested in Qiang Zi?"
Liu Yifeng was a bit dense when it came to relationships. He truly hadn't noticed anything amiss and shook his head, "Isn't this just normal greeting?"
"Exactly, why are you like a woman, with such a vivid imagination? You'd be better off thinking about how to win over Miss Chen!"
"That's your business, why are you bringing me into it? Believe it or not, I can guarantee this woman will come back often!" Lu Fei said confidently.
Qiang Zi and Liu Yifeng didn't take his words to heart, leaving Lu Fei to talk until he was hoarse.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Fei felt a bit displeased, but since they were busy, he could only talk to Tong Tong.
"Tong Tong, do you think Daddy Lu is right? Do you believe him?"
To his surprise, Tong Tong actually nodded, "I believe you!"
Lu Fei immediately became excited, "See? Even Tong Tong believes what I say. What reason do you have not to believe me?"
However, Liu Yifeng and Qiang Zi dismissed it as Tong Tong just trying to humor him. After all, how could a child, no matter how smart, understand adult relationships?
At 5:40, it was getting dark outside. Liu Yifeng decided to take Tong Tong home.
Before leaving, he remembered Tong Tong's feng shui advice and asked Qiang Zi to decorate and then purchase the items and place them in the corresponding positions in the office as Tong Tong had instructed.
Qiang Zi didn't think much of it, assuming Yifeng just wanted the company to look more aesthetically pleasing, and readily agreed.
Lu Fei couldn't help much here, so he went down with Liu Yifeng and Tong Tong, planning to get a ride.
Little did he know that when his car was parked in the parking lot outside the office building, Hong Mei, who was coming down, saw it. She assumed Lu Fei had driven it because the license plate was the same as the car she saw last time. Since Qiang Zi was on the 16th floor, the car must be his.
Thinking that this person was Liu Yifeng's childhood friend, she became even happier. She would have an excuse to go to the 16th floor from now on.
However, when she thought about Liu Yifeng hiding his marriage and children from her, she felt quite angry.
If he had told her earlier that he already had children, she wouldn't have wasted so much time on him for nothing, only to get nothing in return.
If she hadn't come up today unexpectedly, Liu Yifeng probably wouldn't have told her.
This Liu Yifeng was truly good at hiding things, deceiving them all.
But none of that mattered anymore. She no longer had any feelings for him.
The most important thing now was to win over his childhood friend.
Although Qiang Zi was ordinary-looking, he seemed reliable and steady. Moreover, he owned a company and drove a luxury car, making him better off than her previous boyfriend.
If she could seize this opportunity, she would become the boss's wife, and Liu Yifeng would have to work for her.
In her mind, she had already decided that Liu Yifeng was working for Qiang Zi. No wonder he could shamelessly boast about owning a company; it turned out his childhood friend was the one who started it, so he could shamelessly brag.
Even if Qiang Zi found out, he wouldn't expose him in front of outsiders. After all, they were friends, childhood friends at that, their relationship was unusual.
After dropping Lu Fei off at his place, Liu Yifeng went directly back to the countryside.
When he arrived home, it was completely dark. His father had not yet returned.
Da Hei and Da Bai, upon seeing his car, excitedly rushed to greet him.
He hadn't returned at noon, so he had called his third uncle in advance to ask him to feed them their afternoon meal, so they weren't hungry.
"Da Bai, Da Hei, did you miss me?" Tong Tong asked, petting them.
The two dogs wagged their tails furiously in response.
Liu Yifeng closed the car door, checked the time, it was already 6:30. Thinking his father should be back soon, he said, "Tong Tong, Daddy will go make dinner. It will be the same as yesterday, training after dinner!"
"Okay, thanks for your hard work, Daddy!" Tong Tong was too busy to break away from the dogs.
"Look at you, your new clothes from yesterday are already dirty. I'll change them for you later!"
The recording of today's show went very smoothly. Yun Duo'er won third place and gained many fans from the audience on the spot.
They all felt it was unfair, believing the championship should have been hers, only for it to be snatched away by a newcomer.
Many people suspected foul play, otherwise, with Yun Duo'er's singing skills and her performance on stage, she should have been the champion.
However, this was the exact effect Yun Duo'er's company wanted.
Now that Yun Duo'er's show was finished, she was waiting to record the program "The Brain".
But the thought of having to deal with Song Yicheng and his mother gave her a headache.
If it weren't for the fact that Song Yicheng genuinely had some intelligence and a strong memory, and the first round of the competition was about testing memory, this round would be no problem for Song Yicheng's brain.
If it weren't for this, she would have told her company to find someone else.
She didn't know what the abilities of the other contestants were.
This made her think of that little boy, about Tong Tong's age. If the competition had no inside story, then this child would most likely be the first to be eliminated.
