"Since you bought one for Tongtong, I should also buy something for your uncle and aunt. You can help me take it over. It's been a while since I visited them."
Liu Yifeng pulled Su Wanru to a specialty store for health supplements. "Alright, we're at the entrance now. You can't refuse. If you refuse, then you'll have to take Tongtong's clothes back too."
He directly blocked Su Wanru from saying anything she wanted to say. She could only reluctantly buy a couple of things, sighing inwardly. She knew he would be like this, and she should have run off after buying the clothes.
"Let's have lunch together. Tongtong will be here too. If possible, invite Mr. Wu and Xiao Li. Lunchtime is always for eating, isn't it?"
The two of them browsed through the other floors of the mall. Su Wanru checked the time. It was indeed time for lunch. They happened to arrive at Wu Haoyu's model and toy factory.
"Daddy, what did you and Auntie buy?" Tongtong's eyes were full of anticipation as he saw Liu Yifeng's hands full of shopping bags.
Su Wanru looked at Tongtong's innocent expression and couldn't help but pinch his little cheek.
"These are clothes your Auntie bought for you. She thinks you've grown taller and need new clothes," Liu Yifeng said, holding up the clothes in his hand to Tongtong.
Tongtong jumped up with joy. "Thank you, Auntie! Auntie loves me the most." He then took the clothes meant for him from Liu Yifeng's hand, intending to carry them himself.
"Xiao Li, where is your boss? It's lunchtime. Let's have a meal together." Just then, Xiao Li came out.
When she saw Su Wanru and Liu Yifeng, she still felt a bit shy. She looked like a very good girl.
"The boss said he's not eating. But, Mr. Liu, can you go and persuade him? After he went home yesterday, he's been locking himself in his office. I've called him, but he won't open the door. Even if there are collaborations, it's all to no avail."
Actually, Xiao Li had wanted to tell Liu Yifeng about this the moment she saw him, because she really didn't know how to handle it.
It so happened that Liu Yifeng appeared. To Wu Haoyu, he was a different kind of person, and his words would likely be effective.
"What's going on? Take me there to see. Tongtong is here with his Auntie. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat first," Liu Yifeng said with a frown. He wondered why he hadn't seen Wu Haoyu this time.
He thought he had gone out to negotiate a contract, but it turned out something had happened.
Su Wanru and Tongtong nodded at him. He then followed Xiao Li to Wu Haoyu's office.
"Mr. Wu, do you have time to chat with me?" Xiao Li gave him a look and then left, deciding to let him resolve the issue.
Liu Yifeng's words still received no response, making him sigh helplessly. "Mr. Wu, this isn't like you. Xiao Li told me you've been holed up in here alone for a long time. Everything has a solution. If something happened to you, tell me, and we'll solve it together."
He spoke these words with deep emotion to the office door, and Liu Yifeng still felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Just as he was about to say something more, Wu Haoyu opened the door and forced a smile at Liu Yifeng.
"I'm fine, Brother Liu. I was just a little tired after returning home yesterday." Wu Haoyu himself felt his smile was very fake, but he couldn't let Liu Yifeng worry, so he could only try to reassure him this way.
Liu Yifeng directly pushed him and entered the office, sitting on the sofa. "Stop pretending. Your smile is worse than not smiling at all. If there's something, let's talk about it. A man always dawdles like this. Are you still the Wu Haoyu I knew?"
Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, he also felt that this wasn't like himself. "Alas, Brother Liu, you don't know. My family doesn't approve of me doing this business. I said I would definitely achieve something to show them, but now I have achieved something, yet no one is willing to believe me. They're not even willing to come and see my exhibition hall. Am I that insignificant?"
After Wu Haoyu spoke, he felt a huge weight lifted from his heart. Indeed, one shouldn't keep things bottled up.
"Yes, having the support of your parents can give you great motivation. However, your family is different from ordinary families. They surely want you to take over the family business. If you ask me, why don't you try to integrate your exhibition hall with your family's business a little?"
Liu Yifeng also felt that this was indeed difficult to resolve. Not getting the support of one's family could be very hard to accept. All he could do was offer some encouragement.
Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, Wu Haoyu also felt they made a lot of sense. "Brother Liu, do you not have any such concerns?"
Wu Haoyu turned his head and looked at Liu Yifeng, his face full of confusion.
"Yes, like the recent video, you must have seen it. My dad and Tongtong are very worried. He doesn't advise me to do such things. But if I see something like this in the future, do you think I'll stand by and do nothing?"
Liu Yifeng's gaze was very serious as he posed this question to Wu Haoyu.
"I don't think you will. You are not an unfeeling or unjust person." Wu Haoyu's gaze was also exceptionally serious. Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, he had a good understanding of his character.
Liu Yifeng nodded. "Smart. You understand me best. So, the problem is solved. My situation is similar to yours now, so you must know how to solve it."
Actually, he just wanted to tell him that if he still liked models and toys in his heart, he should continue to persevere. His family's support was important, but he shouldn't give up on something just because his family didn't support it.
"Brother Liu means that I should keep going. Even if my family doesn't support me, as long as this is something I like, I have a reason to persevere."
Wu Haoyu thought about it carefully and suddenly understood what Liu Yifeng meant.
Liu Yifeng nodded. "Yes, it's actually not that complicated. You're just overthinking it. You liked it not because of your family's support, so why are you troubled now because of their lack of support? Therefore, the most important thing in life is to be happy."
Seeing Wu Haoyu's brows gradually relax, Liu Yifeng knew that he must have found an answer in his heart.
"Thank you, Brother Liu. If I hadn't talked to you, I don't know how much longer I would have been depressed." Wu Haoyu's expression finally recovered a lot. He looked completely different now than when he first met him.
