The Yan family watched as Liu Di ate for a full 20 minutes.
The preparations of seven kitchen staff were almost entirely consumed by Liu Di alone!
In their usually elegant and noble lives, they had never seen such eating habits!
A whole sirloin steak in one bite!
Cakes and desserts grabbed directly by hand!
"Tsk tsk..."
"Could this be the legendary 'desperate hunger'?"
Yan Kai Kai stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Although I feel sorry for him, I'd never want a brother like that. I don't want to live with him at all!"
Watching Liu Di's messy eating, Ouyang Fengyu had an idea. He turned and fetched a bottle of red wine, saying to Old Master Yan, "Father, before I came today, I specially asked someone to find a bottle of '82 Lafite Reserve for you to try."
Old Master Yan, focused on Liu Di's eating, casually responded with a hum.
Pouring the wine, Ouyang Fengyu whispered in Old Master Yan's ear, "Father, you see, Liu Di comes from a poor background and lacks refinement. If you bring him into the Yan family, he might embarrass you at important events. Wouldn't it be better to give him some money and let him enjoy life elsewhere? It's a win-win."
Old Master Yan's expression gradually became serious.
Ouyang Fengyu looked at Liu Di and said with a smile, "As for the dishes, I'll have the kitchen prepare another set, since Liu Di used his hands, they're dirty now!"
Then Ouyang Fengyu politely poured wine for everyone, except for Liu Di.
"Everyone, please try the wine. As for Brother Xiao Liu, let's skip it. He probably wouldn't appreciate it anyway!"
After eating and drinking for a while, Liu Di's condition had already improved.
Moreover, he could feel a noticeable enhancement in his body's functions!
He swallowed another piece of steak and raised an eyebrow, "The '82 Lafite is just a gimmick, meant to fool rich people like you!"
"Oh?"
Old Master Yan's eyes lit up, "Liu Di, tell us more?"
Liu Di carefully handled a sea fish in front of him and said casually, "The reason '82 Lafite is expensive is that in 1982, the Bordeaux grape-growing region suffered a severe drought, drastically reducing grape yields. Because of the scarcity, it's expensive!"
"But actually, due to the disaster, the grapes that year were severely lacking in sugar content, ripeness, and aroma!"
"So, the Lafite wine made from those grapes is actually inferior! It's not even as good as the '83, '84, or even '90 Lafite!"
Ah-woo.
Liu Di swallowed the deboned sea fish in one bite, chewing as he looked at the now grim-faced Ouyang Fengyu, "You say I can't appreciate wine, but can you?"
At this moment, Liu Di was inwardly amused; what a coincidence!
Originally, he knew nothing about wine, but on the way here, in Yan Qingwen's car, with Motong's help, he memorized an entire book on "Wine Tasting"!
"You... you're talking nonsense, how could such an expensive wine be inferior!"
Ouyang Fengyu trembled with anger, shakily pointing at Liu Di.
Liu Di smirked, "Believe it or not, but I just remembered something, our archery competition today, the loser...?"
"Ah, this, this..."
Ouyang Fengyu suddenly stammered.
Yan Kai Kai and Yan Xin Xin simultaneously covered their mouths, oh no! Brother-in-law is going to be embarrassed!
"Hehe, brother-in-law, no need to panic, it's all just a joke, please have a seat."
Liu Di chuckled lightly, not caring about the upside-down eating, and as for this scheming brother-in-law, as long as appearances were maintained, it was fine!
Old Master Yan, on the other hand, became more spirited upon hearing Liu Di's comments on wine tasting.
"Liu Di, what do you think of China's economy?" Old Master Yan asked with a smile.
China's economy
Alright, the second book I saw in the car is coming in handy!
Liu Di chuckled lightly and said slowly, "Crossing the vast Yangtze River, gazing at the great Chinese dragon! By 2020, China's economy will enter a new era, achieving qualitative changes in three dimensions, starting with its international status..."
For the next half hour.
Liu Di leisurely ate his food while delivering one astonishing statement after another!
From China's economy to national policies, to entrepreneurial trends and technological trends!
Liu Di spoke eloquently, with ease and a wealth of knowledge!
He recited the 3 million words of "China's Economy" fluently, combined with the six major techniques from "The Art of Conversation."
His words were astonishing!
In the end, even Yan Hongxin, the richest man in Shanghai and a business tycoon, struggled to keep up with Liu Di's pace and ideas!
The Yan family's children, initially disdainful, ended up listening intently, their eyes widening!
Yan Kai Kai and Yan Xin Xin, although not understanding what Liu Di was saying, simply thought that Liu Di's confident demeanor was... so handsome!
Ouyang Fengyu's face grew redder, feeling ashamed of his knowledge compared to Liu Di!
Only Yan Qingwen, who had returned from abroad and had been learning management from her father, could barely understand what Liu Di was saying.
She was utterly shocked.
She knew clearly that Liu Di's remarks were not superficial; they were very insightful!
In fact, they were more advanced than some top economists' views!
"What kind of person is he?"
Yan Qingwen felt an inexplicable flutter in her heart and unconsciously took out her metal ballpoint pen, clicking it repeatedly.
Yan Hongxin, Old Master Yan, grew more and more astonished, his face flushed with excitement.
In his decades in the business world, he had never seen such an outstanding young man!
"Liu Di, what do you think about the business of our Yingzhi Group?"
Old Master Yan's eyes sparkled with eagerness as he asked.
Liu Di finally felt somewhat full, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and sighed lightly, "Old Master Yan, there's no need to test me further. I'm not interested in becoming your godson, sorry."
"What?"
Old Master Yan couldn't hide his disappointment, his eyes dimming instantly.
To him, Liu Di was not just his daughter's savior but a once-in-a-century business prodigy!
If he couldn't bring him into Yingzhi Group, it would be a great pity!
At that moment, a red circle suddenly appeared in Liu Di's view, focusing on Ouyang Fengyu, who was gritting his teeth and sending a text message.
The content of Ouyang Fengyu's message appeared in Liu Di's view:
'This Liu Di is too much of a threat to me! Get rid of him within a month!'
'Oh, and about controlling Yan Qingwen, get it done quickly!'
Damn.
Liu Di frowned slightly, I've been avoiding conflict, and yet you escalate it? You want to kill me?
And it seems you're planning something against Yan Qingwen too?
Then I'll play along with you!
"I don't want to be your godson mainly because..."
Liu Di suddenly changed his tone, smiling at Old Master Yan, "I might be interested in your Wenwen!"
