Even when it rose, it had a faint flapping of wings, which shocked everyone watching. They even held their breath, for fear that if it flapped any more, the model spaceship would fall.
It was only when the spaceship truly took flight that everyone finally felt relieved and burst into heartfelt applause.
"Uncle Wu, you're amazing! This is so impressive. If it can really carry people someday, I imagine it will be even more breathtaking."
Tong Tong excitedly rushed to Wu Haoyu and showered him with praise, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Tong Tong, this inspiration came from you, and the opportunity was given by President Liu. My success today is entirely because of you. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today, so thank you very much."
Seeing Tong Tong speak earnestly, and then seeing Liu Yifeng walk over, Wu Haoyu felt a genuine desire to thank their family. When he was at his lowest point, their timely help had been decisive, leading him to his current success.
Liu Yifeng smiled and patted Wu Haoyu's shoulder. "Your success is your own achievement, and has nothing to do with any of us. You should thank your staff the most, and your own perseverance."
Hearing Wu Haoyu's words, Liu Yifeng was deeply moved. After all, he was someone who knew how to be grateful, and that was enough. At the very least, it showed he hadn't helped the wrong person.
"Yes, Uncle Wu, I think you're great. I want to be like you when I grow up," Tong Tong's praise was sincere, his admiration evident.
Liu Yifeng stroked his son's head, then looked at Wu Haoyu. "I'm truly happy to see your achievements today. You've succeeded."
"I don't think so yet. To truly realize my dream, it needs to be able to carry people, just as Tong Tong said." Wu Haoyu still shook his head, feeling this was just the beginning.
Liu Yifeng maintained a satisfied smile. It seemed his ambitions were quite grand, but having such ambition was a good thing, at least it could keep him moving forward.
Tong Tong smiled. Hearing that Wu Haoyu had used his suggestion and was still working towards it made him very happy. It meant his ideas were being taken seriously.
"Uncle Wu, I believe you can do it. Dad, can I come play here with Uncle Wu during the holidays?" Tong Tong looked at Liu Yifeng and directly made his request.
He preferred it here to the exhibition hall at home. He truly liked it here. It was bigger than home and even felt more vibrant.
Being together and playing was a great feeling, and it allowed for shared discussions.
Liu Yifeng nodded. He had already promised Tong Tong before they came, so he naturally wouldn't go back on his word. "Of course, you can. But your studies cannot be neglected."
"Dad, don't worry. Do you think I'm someone who would neglect my studies?" He finished by winking his big eyes at Liu Yifeng, looking extremely playful.
Seeing Tong Tong like this made him feel warm. It was clear Tong Tong really liked it here.
As Wu Haoyu approached Liu Yifeng to say something, a person suddenly appeared and shoved him, startling Liu Yifeng.
"What are you doing? That's very dangerous," Liu Yifeng directly stepped in front, looking at the person. It seemed to be a mother, dressed very ordinarily.
But her expression looked furious, which frightened everyone present. Tong Tong also hid behind Liu Yifeng in fright.
The other person clearly did this intentionally. Hearing Liu Yifeng's words, she didn't seem scared but let out a cold laugh. "Hmph, dangerous? Does he even know it's dangerous? If he knows it's dangerous, why is he doing such a dangerous thing!"
Her loud accusation shocked both Wu Haoyu and Liu Yifeng. There must be some misunderstanding involved.
"Madam, please don't rush. Did something happen?" Liu Yifeng tried to calm the woman down.
It was clear her emotions were very volatile. Speaking to such a person required gentleness; confronting her would only make the situation harder to resolve.
"You have the nerve to ask me? Go ask him! He insisted on making such an expensive model spaceship, did he consider how we felt? If it's so expensive, why are you letting us experience it for free? My son just wanted to try this model spaceship for free, so he worked hard to collect cards identical to this model spaceship. We don't have money to buy him a model now, not anymore!"
The woman's reaction was quite intense. The more she spoke, the more agitated she became. By the end, it seemed she recalled something sad and started to cry, her helplessness evident.
Wu Haoyu finally understood. He had previously run a card collection promotion to attract customers. Anyone who collected cards identical to the largest model spaceship in their store could come in and experience it.
However, it seemed this promotion had caused harm. He felt quite apologetic.
"Madam, I'm truly sorry. I didn't know this promotion would hurt you. It was for traffic at the time, and the prices were very cheap. However, your son's excessive spending was indeed triggered by this event, so I will compensate you."
Wu Haoyu slowly approached the woman, speaking in a gentle tone to comfort her. After all, it was his issue that led to this problem, so he felt he should compensate her properly.
He felt very guilty that such an unfortunate situation had arisen because of this.
"Compensation? How do you want to compensate me! Can you make my son not like these model toys anymore and focus on his studies! You can't. Even if you compensate me, what if he buys them elsewhere later? Do you expect me to keep causing trouble like this? Don't I have any shame!"
With that, she slapped herself hard on the face. As she was about to slap herself a third time, Wu Haoyu stopped her.
It was clear this woman was quite ruthless to harm herself so severely.
Liu Yifeng watched from the side, his brow furrowed. If this were an act, she'd definitely win best supporting actress.
