In the elevator, Su Wanru asked, "Is Ms. Xu's husband also capable?"
"Ms. Xu is divorced and raising her child alone. As for whether her ex-husband is capable, I'm not entirely sure!" Liu Yifeng did not mention the disreputable matters concerning Xu Muqing's ex-husband. After all, it was her private life, and it would be impolite to speak of it casually.
Upon hearing that Xu Muqing was divorced and currently single, Su Wanru couldn't help but feel nervous. "What do you think of Ms. Xu?"
Liu Yifeng replied without much thought, "Although she appears aloof and not easy to get along with, she's actually quite a good person. I see you both as strong women, and you're around the same age, so you could be friends!"
"Who wants to be friends with her," Su Wanru pouted and whispered.
"What did you say?" Liu Yifeng hadn't heard her clearly.
Su Wanru shook her head repeatedly, "Nothing, nothing!"
"By the way, how are things with your blind date? I thought he seemed quite good, handsome, talkative, and successful. You should consider him!" Liu Yifeng suddenly remembered Zhou Liqun.
To his surprise, Su Wanru looked displeased upon hearing this. "If you think he's good, then you go talk to him. I don't know what you're seeing; he's clearly a narcissist who only brags about his career!"
Liu Yifeng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "I'm a man, and he's a man, how can we talk? But men, they like to boast about themselves to make women admire them. You should learn to discover his shining points!"
"What, you want me to be with him that much?" Su Wanru stopped walking and looked at Liu Yifeng.
Liu Yifeng clearly sensed Su Wanru's displeasure. "I just don't want you to miss out on someone good. Of course, if you're really not interested in him, then feelings can't be forced."
"Hmph, you're a single dog yourself, yet you're still worrying about my affairs!" Su Wanru snorted coldly.
Liu Yifeng watched her get into the car, clearly annoyed, and was a bit confused. He didn't think he had said anything wrong.
Just as they say, speak of the devil. Not long after Liu Yifeng arrived at Su Wanru's company, Zhou Liqun came in a flurry. Seeing Liu Yifeng sitting in Su Wanru's office, he looked surprised. "Mr. Liu, what are you doing here?"
"What, Mr. Liu can't come to my company?" Su Wanru replied with a displeased tone.
Zhou Liqun awkwardly explained, "No, I was just curious."
"Mr. Liu is a major client of my company. I invited him to have lunch at my company. What are you doing here?"
"I sent you a message, and you didn't reply, so I came over to see you!" Zhou Liqun said, then sat down on the sofa opposite Liu Yifeng.
"Me not replying to your message means I'm busy. You coming here without a word is disturbing me. Don't you think that's very impolite?" Su Wanru looked at Zhou Liqun unhappily.
Zhou Liqun was also thick-skinned. He knew he might be shut out, but he was determined to pursue Su Wanru. Therefore, he didn't take her words to heart, otherwise, he would have given up the pursuit long ago. However, he was also a stubborn person. As long as there was no clear indication that they couldn't be together, he wouldn't give up so easily.
"Mr. Liu, I remember your son attends the Aerospace Kindergarten, right?" he said, changing the subject. He decided not to talk to Su Wanru for the moment, as anything he said would likely displease her.
Although Liu Yifeng didn't know why Zhou Liqun was asking this, he truthfully replied, "Yes, is there a problem?"
"As far as I know, children attending the Aerospace Kindergarten are all exceptionally talented in some area. Our company is organizing a program called 'The Brain,' in conjunction with the most popular Mango TV. Perhaps your son could participate in the preliminary selection. If his performance is outstanding, I can directly arrange for him to enter the final and compete with others." Zhou Liqun said.
Liu Yifeng hadn't expected that this program was organized by Zhou Liqun's company. However, he had already declined Mr. Zhao's invitation, and Mr. Zhao could directly recommend Tongtong to the final round without needing to participate in the preliminary selection. Therefore, he had no intention of changing his mind. "Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Zhou, but my son is still too young. Perhaps another time."
Meanwhile, Su Wanru, sitting at her desk, her eyes lit up. "Mr. Liu, Tongtong's math skills are so impressive; many adults are inferior to him. Perhaps he could really achieve a good ranking!"
"Really? That would be great. If he wins first place, not only will there be a prize of five million, but the top three can also be directly admitted to Yenching University!" Zhou Liqun intended to use this to persuade Liu Yifeng to let his son participate.
To be honest, admission to Yenching University was quite appealing to Liu Yifeng. After all, it was the ultimate goal for countless students in China and a dream he could never fulfill in his lifetime. However, this was a television program, and gaining fame at such a young age might not be a good thing. It could not only strip Tongtong of his freedom in the future but also cause him to lose himself. Like those celebrities who started earnestly filming but gradually became arrogant after gaining fame, ultimately ruining their bright futures. He also feared that Tongtong might lose himself due to all the praise, which would ruin his future.
"Let's forget it. Those who can participate in such a program are very talented people. Tongtong is still so young. If he gets defeated, I'm afraid it will damage his confidence!" Liu Yifeng still refused.
Zhou Liqun quickly said, "Precisely because the child is young, he needs more training. Let me tell you something that only our company insiders know. This season's program will feature popular celebrities to support the contestants and gain popularity. Besides filming during the program, we will also film the daily lives of the contestants. This will allow more viewers to understand how contestants become geniuses and what their living habits are like, which can also be inspiring. As long as you agree to let your son participate, you can have any celebrity from our company to support him, it's just a matter of one word, and I'll arrange it for you." He was so invested in this matter because his boss had given him a strict order to find a contestant, or he would lose his manager position.
Speaking of popular celebrities, Liu Yifeng couldn't help but think of Tongtong's mother and blurted out, "Is Yun Duo'er from your company?"
"Yun Duo'er?" Zhou Liqun thought for a moment, then said, "You're referring to the female artist who has recently emerged, right? Are you a fan of hers? This female artist is quite pretty and has some acting skills, but she's not yet very famous. She's an artist from EMN company, a competitor to ours! Actually, our company has many quite famous artists, like Zhao Liying, Wei Wei, Ge Hua, Shi Shi... their influence is higher than hers. I can choose one of them for you."
"No, I was just curious," Liu Yifeng shook his head. He didn't want Tongtong and Yun Duo'er to appear on the same program. If that woman was as heartless as she was, she certainly wouldn't acknowledge Tongtong, and Tongtong would be heartbroken.
Meanwhile, Su Wanru, hearing Liu Yifeng mention Yun Duo'er, paused her pen and looked at Liu Yifeng. Others might not know, but she knew that Yun Duo'er was Tongtong's mother, and she hadn't stepped forward to acknowledge him the last time she saw him. Could it be that Liu Yifeng wanted her to be a supporting guest for Tongtong? But this woman clearly wanted nothing to do with Tongtong; she would surely be rejected if approached. She also didn't want Liu Yifeng to lower himself to beg this woman. Hearing him say he was just casually asking, she felt slightly relieved.
"Are you really not going to consider it?" Zhou Liqun's mouth was almost dry.
Liu Yifeng apologized and shook his head, "I'm sorry, I really don't have that kind of intention!"
"Alright then. If you change your mind, let me know. I'll always welcome it, and I guarantee your son will become famous!" Little did he know, Liu Yifeng feared his son becoming famous.
"I'm done with my work. Shall we go eat?" Su Wanru closed the file and stood up. Knowing that Liu Yifeng didn't want to discuss this matter further, she interrupted their conversation.
