He didn't know if Director Wang and the invited guests had eaten breakfast, so he needed to prepare more. Otherwise, if they arrived and there was no breakfast, it would be awkward.
He made fried dough sticks, ground soy milk, and cooked sweet potato porridge, then prepared a few side dishes.
It was already eight o'clock when he finished, but Director Wang hadn't called him yet.
His father had gone to Liu Xincheng's house early in the morning, preparing to go to the orchard with them.
At this time, Tongtong was playing with Da Hei and Da Bai in the yard.
The two dogs were having a great time competing for the ball.
Seeing that no one had arrived yet, Liu Yifeng took out his phone to call and ask about the situation.
However, before he could make the call, he received a call from Director Wang: "Mr. Liu, we've entered the village, where is your house?"
"Do you see that archway? The place with two stone lions," Liu Yifeng asked.
Director Wang immediately replied, "Saw it, saw it, our car is parked right here!"
"Then keep driving forward. I'll be waiting for you by the roadside. By the way, we haven't met before, can you tell me your license plate number? That way, I'll wave when I see your car."
So, Director Wang gave Liu Yifeng the license plate number and the car's color.
Including the invited guest, they had come with a total of four people.
Liu Yifeng noted the license plate number and went to the roadside to wait.
Before long, a white SUV slowly drove over.
Inside the car, Xia Qianqian was still nervous, wondering what her teammate's personality would be like.
To maintain the element of surprise, she still didn't know what the contestant she would be participating with looked like. She had only heard that the person was very young.
She didn't really like interacting with children, finding them too noisy, and these days, there were too many unruly kids.
Especially this kind of child prodigy, their personalities were bound to be somewhat eccentric.
She was afraid that if they didn't get along, the process would be too agonizing.
Finally, with her nervous and anxious heart, the car stopped by the roadside. As usual, it seemed they had arrived.
She looked out through the car window, and to her surprise, she was stunned.
"This... isn't this..."
Before she could finish speaking, Director Wang had already opened the car window and asked Liu Yifeng with a smile, "You are Mr. Liu, right?"
Liu Yifeng didn't see Xia Qianqian in the car. He smiled and nodded, "Hello, Director Wang. I am Tongtong's father, Liu Yifeng. Welcome.
You must have had a tiring journey. I've prepared breakfast for you. Shall we eat before we start filming!"
"Mr. Liu is very thoughtful. Honestly, I am a bit hungry."
"Please drive your car into the yard. That building is my house," Liu Yifeng said, pointing to the red brick house, his expression calm, without any inferiority complex due to his living environment.
Director Wang glanced at Liu Yifeng's house without any sign of disdain.
For a young man like him to be able to raise a talented son, a life of luxury was still to come!
Moreover, such a living environment could actually create a talking point, as most people in the country lived similarly.
It could make the audience place high hopes on their own children.
Who said only rich people could raise successful children? Children from poor families could do it too.
This way, they wouldn't spend their time and energy on comparisons.
Immediately, he instructed the cameraman driving to park the car in the yard.
Xia Qianqian, on the other hand, was still in a daze, unable to snap out of it.
She hadn't missed hearing Director Wang address him as Mr. Liu, but she had never thought it could be Liu Yifeng.
Who would have thought that reality would give her such a big surprise!
Tongtong was actually her teammate. Although she had only met Tongtong once.
However, this child was different from ordinary children. Not only was he cute, but he was also particularly sensible and thoughtful.
Filming videos with such a child would be effortless. All her previous worries were unfounded.
After the car stopped in the yard, everyone got out. The cameraman immediately turned on the camera as soon as he got out.
To ensure the authenticity of the video, they didn't plan to greet the contestants in advance, opting for the most realistic daily filming. Anything too deliberate would seem fake.
Da Hei and Da Bai, seeing the unfamiliar car and people, immediately bared their teeth menacingly and started barking at them.
Da Hei even charged forward and knocked Director Wang to the ground.
Liu Yifeng, who rushed over, couldn't stop it in time and could only watch helplessly as Director Wang was tackled.
The others also looked terrified. They hadn't expected Liu Yifeng's dogs to be so ferocious.
Xia Qianqian was also startled back to reality by the barking. She then saw Director Wang pinned to the ground by a dog, unable to move.
The dog's fur was shiny black, and its expression was fierce. Director Wang dared not struggle, fearing that if he agitated the dog, it would tear him apart.
"Da Hei, let go! This is our guest," Liu Yifeng hurriedly said.
Da Hei, who had been showing a fierce expression, immediately became docile upon hearing Liu Yifeng's words. Wagging its tail, it released Director Wang.
Then, like a child who had done something wrong, it lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Liu Yifeng apologetically pulled Director Wang up from the ground, "Director Wang, I'm truly sorry. My dog is very protective and thought you were bad people. It's my fault for not bringing you in earlier; they thought you were trespassing."
Director Wang was indeed very startled. When he fell, he had also scraped himself on the stones on the ground, drawing blood.
To encounter such a situation right upon arrival, almost being eaten by a dog, made his impression of Liu Yifeng and his son slightly worse.
But remembering the purpose of his visit, he shook his head dismissively, "It's nothing!"
At this moment, Xia Qianqian got out of the car and walked towards Liu Yifeng with a smile.
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is our invited guest, Xia Qianqian."
"And this is the contestant's father, Mr. Liu."
Liu Yifeng didn't hear what the director was saying. His pupils dilated infinitely as he stared at the person in front of him in shock, "You..."
Seeing that the person had the same reaction as him, Xia Qianqian took the initiative to extend her hand, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I am Xia Qianqian."
"Hello, this is truly a coincidence," Liu Yifeng said, shaking Xia Qianqian's hand.
Director Wang looked at the two of them, bewildered, "What, you know each other?"
Before either of them could speak, Tongtong walked out of the room and came to Xia Qianqian with a smile, "Hello, Auntie Xia!"
"Hello, Tongtong. Have you missed Auntie Xia?" Xia Qianqian stroked Tongtong's little face, her eyes filled with undisguised affection.
