Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so unnaturally, and the cheeks below his eyes were already slightly flushed. Only his dad didn't know what was going on.
"Oh... then... then alright, Mr. Liu, please follow me." It was already awkward enough, and now he was being directly rejected by a child, which made it even more so.
Seeing Tongtong's rejection, Liu Yifeng also sensed something. It seemed that the woman's presence made Tongtong uncomfortable.
"Hello, Miss Li. If you take us to the place, we'd like to look around on our own. Because the child is young, he might feel a bit uneasy with outsiders."
Upon arriving at the factory entrance, Liu Yifeng got straight to the point. Although Tongtong was happy that his dad was considering him, he also broke out in a cold sweat for his dad's bluntness.
"Alright, no problem. I'll wait outside. After all, this is my job. Mr. Liu, if you need anything or have any questions, feel free to call me." Miss Li had seen parents like this before, so she handled it well.
Liu Yifeng didn't say anything else. She had said it was her job, so he had to go along with it, as long as Tongtong could enjoy the tour.
"Wow, Dad, this place is really huge! I thought my model spaceship was the biggest, but I didn't expect to see a 1:1 replica here. It's truly astonishing."
As soon as they entered, they saw a spaceship almost identical to Tongtong's model spaceship. The only difference was that this one was much larger, and there were even larger model airplanes and Transformers.
Let alone the children, even Liu Yifeng, an adult, was stunned. This trip was truly worth it.
"Dad, do you like it here too?" Seeing Liu Yifeng's shocked expression, Tongtong became even happier.
"Yes, I really have to thank you, Tongtong. It's a blessing to see such a magnificent scene in my lifetime. It's truly breathtaking. I thought your model spaceship was already massive, but I didn't expect to see such colossal models here."
Liu Yifeng'sææ š was heartfelt. He felt that this scene should be seen by more people to truly do justice to its magnificence.
"But Dad, I'm curious. Such large model toys can't be displayed in a mall. Why don't they have a large-scale exhibition for these model toys? If there was an exhibition like this, Tongtong would definitely go every day."
Children's thoughts are indeed peculiar, but this was a very good idea, and Liu Yifeng was also puzzled.
Although he hadn't lived a wealthy life, he had heard of various exhibitions. However, he had never heard of any exhibitions for such giant model toys. He presumed it was because they were too massive and inconvenient to display.
This thought flashed by, and he didn't know how to explain the specific reason to Tongtong. He could only ask the staff outside after the tour.
The venue was vast, and while there weren't many model toys, their sheer size meant that each large model toy occupied 500 square meters. Therefore, it took nearly an hour and a half to barely finish viewing all the models.
"I'm sorry, Miss Li, for keeping you waiting." It was already noon when they came out, and the sun was high in the sky. As soon as they emerged, they saw Miss Li standing under the scorching sun, feeling a little apologetic.
Miss Li smiled respectfully. "It's okay, Mr. Liu. This is my job. If you've finished your tour, let's go for lunch. Our lunch has been prepared."
Liu Yifeng hadn't expected that lunch would be thoughtfully prepared. The service was so good, yet there were so few people here. This was unusual. Or perhaps the place wasn't open to the public.
"May I boldly ask, Miss Li, is this place not open to the public?" On the way to lunch, Liu Yifeng couldn't hold back his inner curiosity.
Miss Li nodded. "Actually, it is. Mr. Liu, as you've probably seen, very few people visit here. Firstly, it's due to the location. It's quite far, and very few people would bring their children here. Secondly, our main selling point is the sheer size of our model toys, so we can't bring them into malls. That's why the current situation has arisen."
Miss Li was explaining earnestly to Liu Yifeng, and her distress and difficulty were evident.
He simply nodded and said nothing more. Tongtong seemed to have understood the implication, but since his dad hadn't spoken yet, he remained silent.
"Hello, hello, I'm so sorry. I had a client meeting unexpectedly, which made me late. I apologize." Just as they sat down to eat, someone of similar age to Liu Yifeng came over to apologize.
Liu Yifeng was utterly confused.
"Mr. Liu, this is our General Manager Wu, the head of the entire model toy factory." Miss Li introduced respectfully.
Liu Yifeng shook hands courteously. "It's fine, it's fine. We've basically finished our tour. It was truly awe-inspiring, and the child loved it very much."
He then looked at Tongtong, who also gave a supportive smile in response.
"Ah, I'm so happy that you like it. It's just that the sheer size of these model toys deters many children. If you hadn't purchased that model spaceship, which gave me great motivation, I don't think anyone would be visiting here."
With a face full of hardship, Liu Yifeng could deeply empathize.
"Uncle Wu, has the company encountered problems?" Liu Yifeng got straight to the point.
It seemed this tour wasn't just a tour; a more important business meeting awaited him.
"As expected of Mr. Liu, you've basically understood. That's indeed the case. It was my honor, and I even felt fortunate, when that exhibit was chosen from among many brands by you."
General Manager Wu's face was filled with anticipation, the look of a man nearing thirty who had been recognized.
"Uncle Wu, I think your models are really good and innovative. They're what I like. In fact, many children like them. It's just that adults might think they're too big," Tongtong said casually. His words, seemingly insignificant, also pointed out the drawback of General Manager Wu's large model toys. Otherwise, his industry wouldn't be so bleak.
It was precisely because they were too big that many adults dared not buy them for their children. As for adults, they might feel it was a waste of time.
