You Want My Life? How Dare You!

The entire Yan Family watched Liu Di eat for a full twenty minutes.

The food prepared by the kitchen staff for seven people was almost entirely devoured by Liu Di alone!

How had these people, normally so elegant and refined, ever seen someone eat like that?

He swallowed an entire sirloin steak in one bite!

He grabbed cakes and desserts directly with his hands!

"Tut, tut."

"Could this be the legendary vicious glutton?"

Yan Kaikai stuck out her tongue and whispered, "Even though I think he's pretty pitiful, I'd never want a brother like that, not even if you beat me to death! I absolutely wouldn't want to live with him!"

Watching Liu Di's disheveled way of eating, Ouyang Fengyu came up with an idea.

He turned around, fetched a bottle of red wine, and said to Old Master Yan, "Father, before coming here today, I specially had someone find a collector's edition bottle of 82 Lafite. Would you like a taste?"

Old Master Yan was focused on watching Liu Di eat and merely gave a casual hum in response.

As Ouyang Fengyu poured the wine, he whispered into Old Master Yan's ear, "Father, look at him. Liu Di comes from a poor background and has no refinement. If he joins the Yan Family, he'll inevitably embarrass you at important occasions. Why not give him some money and let him go enjoy himself? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Old Master Yan's expression gradually turned solemn.

Ouyang Fengyu looked at Liu Di and smiled. "I'll have the kitchen make another serving of the dishes. After all, Liu Di grabbed them with his hands, so they're dirty now!"

Ouyang Fengyu then politely poured red wine for everyone, deliberately skipping Liu Di.

"Everyone, please taste the wine first. As for little brother Liu, let's spare him the trouble. He surely wouldn't know how to appreciate it anyway!"

After stuffing himself for so long, Liu Di's condition had already eased.

Moreover, he could feel that all of his body's functions had improved significantly!

He swallowed another steak, raised a brow, and said, "82 Lafite is nothing but a gimmick designed to fool rich people like you!"

"Oh?"

Old Master Yan's eyes lit up. "Liu Di, tell us about it."

Liu Di carefully picked the bones from a sea fish in front of him and said casually, "82 Lafite is expensive because Bordeaux, where the grapes were grown, suffered a severe drought in 1982, causing grape production to plummet. It's expensive because there was so little of it!"

"But because of that disaster, the grapes from that year were severely lacking in sugar content, ripeness, and aroma!"

"So the Lafite wine made from those grapes was simply inferior! It was even worse than Lafite from '83, '84, or even '90!"

Munch.

Liu Di swallowed the deboned fish in one bite. While chewing, he looked at Ouyang Fengyu's ugly expression. "You said I don't know how to appreciate wine. Do you?"

Liu Di secretly found it amusing. What a coincidence!

He truly hadn't known anything about red wine before, but on the way here, with Magic Child's help, he had memorized an entire copy of Wine Tasting in Yan Qingwen's car!

"Y-You're talking nonsense! How could such expensive wine possibly be inferior?"

Ouyang Fengyu trembled with rage, pointing at Liu Di with a shaking finger.

Liu Di gave a wicked smile. "Believe it or not. But I just remembered something—our archery contest today. The loser was supposed to...?"

"Ah, th-that..."

Ouyang Fengyu suddenly began to stammer.

Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin covered their mouths at the same time. Oh no! Their brother-in-law was going to embarrass himself!

"Hehe, brother-in-law, there's no need to panic. It was all just a joke. Please, have a seat."

Liu Di chuckled, not caring about things like eating while standing on his head. As for this scheming brother-in-law, as long as he could save face, that was enough!

Old Master Yan, however, became even more energized after hearing Liu Di's remarks on wine tasting.

"Liu Di, what do you think of China's economy?" Old Master Yan asked with a smile.

China's economy?

Well, the second book he had seen in the car was finally coming in handy too!

Liu Di smiled faintly and slowly said, "Crossing the mighty Yangtze, one gazes upon the vast Chinese dragon! In 2020, China's economy will enter a new era and undergo qualitative transformation in three dimensions. The first begins with its international standing."

For the next half hour.

Liu Di ate at an unhurried pace, yet astonishing insights flowed continuously from his mouth!

From China's economy to national policy, then to entrepreneurial and technological trends!

Liu Di spoke eloquently and with ease, his mind brimming with knowledge!

He had memorized all three million characters of Huaxia Economy, and with the six major techniques from The Art of Conversation...

Every word he spoke was startling!

By the end, even Yan Hongxin, the richest man in Sea City and a business tycoon, could barely keep up with Liu Di's pace and train of thought!

The Yan Family's children had gone from disdain at the start to listening with rapt attention, their eyes widening more and more!

Although Yan Kaikai and Yan Xinxin could not understand a word Liu Di was saying.

They simply thought that the way he spoke so confidently... was incredibly handsome!

Ouyang Fengyu's face, meanwhile, grew redder and redder. Compared to Liu Di's knowledge, he felt utterly ashamed of himself!

Only Yan Qingwen, who had returned from abroad and had long studied management under her father, could barely understand what Liu Di was saying.

She was utterly shocked.

She knew perfectly well that Liu Di's remarks were not superficial at all. They were uniquely insightful!

They were even more advanced than the views of some top economists!

"What kind of person is he?"

Yan Qingwen's heart inexplicably fluttered. Unconsciously, she pulled out that Metal Ballpoint Pen and began clicking it over and over.

Yan Hongxin, Old Master Yan, grew increasingly astonished, his face flushed with excitement.

He had spent decades dominating the business world, yet he had never encountered such an outstanding young man!

"Liu Di, then what do you think of Yingzhi Group's business?"

Old Master Yan's eyes gleamed as he asked eagerly.

Liu Di finally felt somewhat full. He set down his bowl and chopsticks, then sighed softly. "Old Master Yan, there's no need to keep testing me. I'm not interested in becoming your adopted son. Sorry."

"What?"

Old Master Yan could not hide his disappointment, and his eyes dimmed in an instant.

To him, Liu Di was no longer merely the man who had saved his daughter's life. He was a business prodigy seen only once in a century!

It would be such a pity if he could not bring him into Yingzhi Group!

Just then, a red circle suddenly appeared in Liu Di's field of vision, focusing on Ouyang Fengyu, who was gritting his teeth and lowering his head to send a text.

The contents of Ouyang Fengyu's message appeared in Liu Di's vision:

'This Liu Di is too great a threat to me! Get rid of him within a month!'

'And about controlling Yan Qingwen—get it done as soon as possible!'

Damn it.

Liu Di frowned slightly. I've backed off this much, and you're still pushing your luck? You even want to kill me?

And it seems you're planning to go after Yan Qingwen too?

Then I'll play with you properly!

And while I'm at it, I'll get a better understanding of Magic Child's abilities!

"The main reason I don't want to become your adopted son is because..."

Liu Di suddenly changed his tone and looked at Old Master Yan with a bright smile. "I may have taken a liking to your Wenwen!"
