"It's nothing, it's all in the past." Liu Yifeng felt it was best for fewer people to know about such things.
The main reason was to protect Director Wang, otherwise, if it came out, Director Wang would be the one to suffer in the end.
Moreover, Tong Tong had already resolved the matter on her own, so there was no need to bring it up again.
Seeing that Liu Yifeng was unwilling to talk, Xia Qianqian felt a little disappointed. This meant he didn't consider her a true friend, so she didn't say anything more.
"Director Wang, no matter what, I still want to thank you this morning for standing by us and telling us the truth. Otherwise, we would still be in the dark, thinking it was just a mistake by the staff," Liu Yifeng said, looking gratefully at Director Wang, not paying much attention to Xia Qianqian's emotions.
Upon hearing this, Director Wang immediately replied, "What's there to thank? I just did what I thought was right. Fortunately, Tong Tong is smart and wasn't stumped.
And she resolved the matter perfectly, so she won't be treated specially anymore. This outcome is quite satisfactory.
This way, you can be at ease when you come to film with me the day after tomorrow."
Liu Yifeng agreed with this point. He nodded and said, "Director Wang is right. With this matter resolved, I have no worries and can leave for a few days with peace of mind."
"I came to talk to you about this. I won't disturb your rest anymore. I'm going to have lunch, and I have other things to do in the afternoon!" Director Wang said, then walked over to Tong Tong's side. Tong Tong was playing the game Temple Run, having already run thousands of meters and skillfully dodging obstacles.
"Tong Tong, playing a game? You've run so far, that's amazing!" He didn't play games much, but seeing Tong Tong play so smoothly, he couldn't help but praise her.
Tong Tong's hands and eyes were focused on the game. Hearing Director Wang's voice, she said without looking up, "Uncle Wang, do you want to play? I'll teach you!"
Director Wang repeatedly shook his head, "No, I can't play. There are obstacles every moment. My clumsy hands would likely fall down, or I'd be eaten by monsters.
Alright, you play well. Uncle Wang is going to eat!" He just wanted to greet Tong Tong briefly. Seeing Tong Tong playing so seriously, he didn't want to disturb her.
"Okay, goodbye, Uncle Wang!" Tong Tong replied without looking up.
"Director Wang, I'll see you out!" Liu Yifeng escorted Director Wang to the door.
"Alright, don't bother. Go back to your room and accompany the child!" Director Wang gestured.
Liu Yifeng stopped, "Alright then, Director Wang, take care!"
After watching Director Wang leave, Liu Yifeng returned to the room and saw Xia Qianqian looking displeased. He was stunned, "Qianqian, what's wrong? Who upset you?"
Xia Qianqian raised her eyelids, looked at Liu Yifeng's innocent expression, and said in a muffled voice, "Yifeng, am I your friend?"
"Of course, why are you even asking!" Liu Yifeng said, sitting down beside Tong Tong.
"If I am, then why did you only say things I couldn't understand when you were talking to Director Wang? And you won't tell me when I ask. Are you afraid I'll tell secrets?" Xia Qianqian pouted, looking very wronged.
Liu Yifeng explained helplessly, "It's not that I'm afraid you'll tell secrets. If I were, Director Wang wouldn't have told me this in front of you. It's just that the matter is over, and there's no need to talk about it anymore."
"Is it really just like that?" Xia Qianqian asked, half-believing.
Liu Yifeng nodded affirmatively, "It's really like that!"
"Okay, I'll believe you for now. Tong Tong, what game are you playing? Let me see!" After hearing Liu Yifeng's explanation, Xia Qianqian's mood immediately improved.
She then sat on Tong Tong's other side and watched her play the mobile game.
"Wow, Tong Tong, your reflexes are so fast! You've dodged so many obstacles.
I've played this game several times, but I always get caught by monsters, or I fall off a cliff. I get so angry I stop playing," Xia Qianqian said, looking at the nimble player with admiration.
This child is so skilled, even her games are played so smoothly.
"Aunt Xia, this game is actually very simple. You just need to be quick-eyed and nimble. It's just that this game has no end, you just keep running and running, and you never reach the finish line. It gets boring after a while!" Tong Tong said as her hand holding the phone started to ache. She then directly let her character fall off a cliff, ending the game.
"It sounds easy when you say it, but it's hard to do. My hands are too clumsy, I can't play it!" Xia Qianqian said.
The lunchtime passed quickly. At two o'clock, everyone was seated in their places.
The host came on stage, and the music started playing. "Hello everyone, I am your host Yi Huan..."
After announcing several commercial sponsors, she then introduced the judges and contestants.
Finally, she asked the audience, "The Brain, who has the strongest brain?"
The audience responded in unison, "I am the strongest!"
This was all pre-rehearsed, and the audience cooperated enthusiastically.
The recording lasted for two hours. The second round of the competition ended, and Tong Tong's performance did not disappoint anyone, always being the most outstanding one.
Then came the intermission, and a video filmed by Director Wang was played on the big screen. The protagonists were none other than Tong Tong, Xia Qianqian, and Liu Yifeng.
The host had started recording on the way. Seeing the country road, everyone concluded that the contestant's family background was not good.
They say children from poor families mature early, and they were eager to see which contestant was the protagonist of the recording.
Yun Duo'er initially wanted to leave, but when she saw Xia Qianqian as a special guest in the car, she knew they were filming Tong Tong, and they were on their way to Liu Yifeng's home.
Inside the car, the director asked Xia Qianqian about her feelings, and Xia Qianqian responded warmly.
"I'm very excited to spend these three days with my teammates and hope we can become good friends!"
As she spoke, she smiled sweetly, appearing very approachable and leaving a good impression on many viewers.
Soon, they arrived at Liu Yifeng, who was smiling and waving by the side of the road.
Seeing Liu Yifeng, everyone knew they were going to film Tong Tong.
Many people had gotten up intending to use the restroom, but they all sat back down.
No one was curious about Tong Tong's daily life. Such a smart child must have his unique way of learning.
Many families had children around Tong Tong's age, and they were eager to learn from him and see if they could also nurture a child prodigy.
No one in the audience left, as Tong Tong was the most impressive among all the contestants.
What surprised everyone was that Tong Tong came from a rural area, especially when they saw the program team's car parked in a yard with red brick houses. Looking at the old and dilapidated house, they felt sorry for Tong Tong's humble beginnings.
