They immediately returned to the hotel.
Remembering that Su Wanru had bought a lot of snacks, Liu Yifeng specially went back to his room and brought a lot of snacks so that everyone could eat and watch the show together.
The show "The Brain" is broadcast around 7:40 PM every Saturday, during prime time.
It was now 7:20 PM, and with twenty minutes left before the show started, many people were already seated in front of the television, waiting.
Liu Chunsheng was not someone who was generally interested in television, but since it was his grandson's show, he had to watch it.
So, after finishing dinner early, he sat in front of the television and waited. Even Dabai and Dahei, the two monkeys, heard that it was their little master's show and that they could see their little master on TV.
They squatted on the ground, watching television.
At this moment, the news was being broadcast on television. As a daily news program in China, few people genuinely wanted to watch it, but it was an indispensable news program.
One could choose not to watch it, but it could not be absent.
Yaoyao had no interest in the news program and ate snacks by herself, while Tongtong watched with great absorption.
"Tongtong, can you understand what they're saying?" Xu Muqing asked curiously, looking at Tongtong, whose reaction was vastly different from her daughter's.
Tongtong replied, "Yes, there are subtitles, aren't there? They're talking about land reform policies and the uses of future new energy, etc. These are all literal meanings that are very easy to understand."
Seeing Tongtong speaking so articulately, Xu Muqing smiled and stroked his head, "Tongtong, you are so smart. You can understand the news at such a young age. Would you like to be a broadcaster in the future?"
Tongtong shook his head, "I don't want to be a broadcaster!"
"Then what do you want to be?" Xu Muqing asked.
"That's a secret!" Tongtong replied without hesitation.
Liu Yifeng was also curious about Tongtong's dream for the future, but this child always skirted the issue when it came to it, so he decided not to ask and would know when the child grew up.
In the evening, Su Wanru had a social engagement, but to watch Tongtong's show, she asked her secretary to cancel it.
She also returned home early, cradled her cat, and watched television, waiting for the show to begin.
Liu Yifeng did not make a big fuss about Tongtong participating in the show, only informing Kaichen and Qiangzi, who also watched on TV, and even prepared wine.
They were just waiting for Tongtong's first match to end perfectly so they could celebrate with drinks.
As everyone waited with anticipation, "The Brain" finally began.
Dahei and Dabai were lying on the ground, bored, waiting for their little master's show to air. When they heard the words "The Brain," they immediately perked up as if injected with adrenaline, raising their heads and looking intently at the television, afraid of missing a single shot.
The show's opening involved the host introducing themselves, reciting a lot of advertising slogans, then introducing the judges, the support team, and finally the contestants who were about to perform.
When Tongtong appeared as the finale contestant, many were astonished by such a young participant.
They wondered if such a young child could really answer the questions correctly. Was there some insider information?
Amidst the questioning glances, the competition officially began.
The contestants who appeared earlier amazed everyone with their incredible memory.
The questions posed were impossible tasks for ordinary people.
Yet, these contestants answered them with such ease, truly worthy of being on "The Brain."
When it was finally Tongtong's turn to appear and answer questions, many people's hearts were in their throats, afraid that Tongtong would answer incorrectly.
However, for most people, it would have been normal for Tongtong to answer incorrectly, given his age.
He was not even four years old yet; how good could his memory be?
And seeing that Tongtong had drawn the most difficult question, everyone thought he was bound to be eliminated.
To their surprise, Tongtong was the fastest to answer correctly. Everyone's eyes were filled with shock, unable to believe what they were seeing.
This child was not just a genius; he was a prodigy! To remember so much in such a short time and then recall the answers accurately.
Was there really no insider information? People began to doubt the authenticity of the show!
However, some believed that the child was simply that talented, after all, in a world of billions, there were always a few who defied belief.
Many people began to look forward to Tongtong's subsequent performances.
Xu Muqing, seeing Tongtong perform so brilliantly, couldn't help but show a mother's smile, "Tongtong, you are truly amazing. You were the last to appear, not only were you not nervous, but you also became the fastest to answer. I have no words to describe your memory."
"Because these questions are really simple, Aunt Xu. Do you find them difficult?" Tongtong asked with confusion.
Xu Muqing felt a bit awkward. These questions were more than difficult for her; they were impossible for humans to answer.
Yet, Tongtong answered these incredibly difficult questions perfectly, outperforming all the other contestants, which showed how exceptional Tongtong was.
Liu Chunqiu smiled with satisfaction at Tongtong's performance. He was indeed his grandson; he performed so well. Many people older than him were not as capable.
Even Dabai and Dahei, seeing their little master receive applause for his performance, barked a couple of times to express their excitement.
That evening, the news of Tongtong participating in "The Brain" quickly spread throughout the village.
Many people turned on their televisions, eager to see Tongtong's performance.
Since they were watching late, the first round of competition had already ended, and they had missed Tongtong's appearance. This time, they were determined to see it.
The reason they knew Tongtong was on the show was through word of mouth, which spread rapidly. If you didn't go to the countryside, how could you call it intelligence gathering? No secret could remain hidden in a village forever.
When the camera focused on Tongtong, many people showed surprised expressions, "Isn't this Liu Chunsheng's grandson? How is he on television?"
"His grandson is very capable; you'll know in a moment."
"I knew it. Last time, why did so many people come to film at his house? Liu Yifeng lied to us, saying he invited them to film their daily lives.
It seems they were from the TV station. Did you see the girl next to Tongtong? She was here then. So this person is Tongtong's special guest!"
The entire village was discussing this matter, and Tongtong's fame soared.
Only now did everyone realize that the son Liu Yifeng brought back halfway was actually a genius.
At the same time, when Du Ziheng saw that Tongtong's special guest was his cousin, he was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
"This... isn't this Qianqian?" he exclaimed excitedly, pointing at Qianqian who appeared on the screen.
"It really is her. This child didn't even tell us she was going on TV. She's too low-key!" Du Ziheng's wife said, watching the television.
Du Ziheng pointed to the child beside Xia Qianqian and asked, "Do you know who this child is?"
"Who is this child? He looks quite young. Can he answer questions at such a young age?
However, isn't Qianqian's luck a bit too bad to be a special guest for such a young child? He might be eliminated tonight." Du Ziheng's wife had never met Liu Yifeng's son.
Therefore, she didn't know that this child was Liu Yifeng's son.
Du Ziheng looked displeased at his wife, "Don't talk nonsense. So what if the child is young? Can a person's ability be judged by their age?
This is typical prejudice. You need to correct this wrong way of thinking in the future!"
"What, based on what you're saying, you think this child can win tonight's competition and not be eliminated?"
"Do I need to think about it? The result is already obvious." Although Du Ziheng hadn't seen Tongtong on stage yet, he had witnessed Tongtong's capabilities.
At such a young age, he was not only skilled at painting but also excellent at mathematics. It was not surprising that such a child could participate in "The Brain."
The only thing that surprised him was that Yaoyao was Tongtong's special guest.
A while ago, she had indeed told him that she had passed the preliminary selection for a show and would be recording soon.
At the time, he had felt it was a pity that she had been selected, as it meant she couldn't meet and get to know Yifeng.
Who knew the world was so small? Not only were they filming the same show, but they were also paired together.
Now, without any introduction, they had already met.
Thinking of Liu Yifeng returning a few days ago, he had even tried to set him up with Manager Su, and he felt like slapping himself.
Such an excellent man should naturally be matched with his cousin.
It was just that he initially thought that Qianqian, having been selected, would focus on her work.
If he had known that they already knew each other and spent time together every day, he would never have tried to set Liu Yifeng up with Manager Su.
