Chapter 9: Mealtime Conversation
The Yan family watches as Rior eats for over 20 minutes. The seven people in the kitchen prepared enough food for everyone, but Rior ends up devouring it all himself! The elegant and luxurious Yan family has never seen such an appetite before! Rior takes one bite after another of the sirloin steak and grabs the cakes and pastries with his hands.
"Ts-ts," Joy sticks out her tongue and whispers, "Although I feel sorry for him, I really don't want a brother like him. I don't want to live with him for a sec!"
Watching Rior's messy eating, a scheme prompts into Dexter's mind. He turns around and brings a bottle of vintage 1982 Lafite Rothschild wine to Mr. Yan. He says, "Father, before I came here today, I specifically asked someone to purchase a bottle of 1982 Lafite Rothschild for you to taste. What do you think?"
Mr. Yan, who has been focused on Rior's eating, casually responds with an "Mm." Dexter pours the wine and whispers in his father's ear, "Father, you see, Rior comes from a poor background and lacks refinement. If we bring him into the Yan family, he might embarrass you in important occasions. It might be better if we give him some money and let him live carefree. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"
Mr. Yan's expression gradually becomes serious. Dexter looks at Rior with a smile and says, "Speaking of these dishes. I'll have the kitchen make another serving, since Rior touched them and made them dirty!"
Then, Dexter politely pours wine for everyone except Rior. "Please try this wine first. As for our dear brother Rior, let's skip him. He probably couldn't appreciate it anyway." Rior has been eating and drinking to his heart's content, and his physical condition has already improved significantly. He can feel a noticeable increase in his body's various functions.
He takes another bite of steak and raises an eyebrow. "The '82 Lafite is just a gimmick, designed to deceive rich people like you!"
"Oh?" Yan's eyes light up. "Why don't you enlighten us?"
Rior carefully handles a sea fish in front of him and casually says, "The reason why '82 Lafite is expensive is that the grape-producing region in Bordeaux suffered a severe drought in 1982, resulting in a sharp decrease in grape yields. Because of the limited quantity, it became expensive!"
"But in reality, due to the disaster, the grapes from that year were severely lacking in sugar content, ripeness, and aroma!"
"So, the Lafite red wine made from these grapes is simply a subpar product! It's not even as good as the '83, '84, or even the '90 Lafite!"
Ah-woof! Rior swallows the carefully deboned sea fish and looks at Dexter, whose face has turned ugly. "You said I can't appreciate it. Do you appreciate it anyway?"
At this moment, Rior can't help but laugh inwardly. It's quite a coincidence! Although he genuinely knows nothing about wine, on the way here, in Cyan's car with the help of Godeye, he memorized an entire book on wine tasting!
"You... you're talking nonsense! How can such an expensive wine be inferior?" Dexter trembles with anger, pointing at Rior.
Rior smirks and says, "Believe it or not, that's up to you. But it reminds me of something. The loser of today's archery competition...?"
Dexter suddenly becomes speechless, "Uh, well..."
Joy and Bliss also cover their mouths at the same time, "oh no! Brother-in-law is going to embarrass himself!"
"Hehe, bro, there's no need to panic, it's all just a joke, please seat yourself." Rior chuckles lightly, not caring about things like eating while doing a handstand. As for this cunning brother, as long as he can save face!
On the other hand, Mr.Yan becomes even more spirited upon hearing Rior's comment on wine tasting. "Rior, I wonder how you view the global economic landscape?" Yan Grandpa asks with a smile.
The economy? It's the third book read in the car, such a piece of cake!
Rior chuckles softly and says slowly, "Crossing the Yangtze River for thousands of miles, gazing at the mighty dragon of CHN! The economic landscape of the 21st century will enter a new era, achieving a qualitative change in three dimensions, starting with international status..."
For the next half an hour, Rior leisurely eats his food while continuously spouting impressive statements! From economic policies to national policies, and even entrepreneurial and technological trends! Rior confidently discusses and effortlessly displays his extensive knowledge!
With 3 million words of "Economics Lecture" memorized, coupled with the 6 techniques from "The Art of Conversation," his words are astounding!
In the end, even Mr.Yan, a tycoon and the richest man in the city, can hardly keep up with Rior's pace and train of thought!
Yan's children, who are initially disdainful, end up listening attentively, their eyes widening!
Although Joy and Bliss can't understand what Rior is saying at all, they simply think Rior looks so handsome while speaking confidently!
However, Dexter's face grows redder and redder, feeling inferior in terms of knowledge compared to Rior!
Only Cyan, who has returned from abroad and has been studying management under her father, can barely understand what Rior is saying.
She is extremely shocked. She knows very well that Rior's remarks are not superficial; these are unique insights!
In fact, some of these are even more advanced than some top economists' views!
"What kind of person is he?" Cyan feels an inexplicable agitation in her heart and unconsciously pulls out her metal ballpoint pen, clicking it repeatedly.
Yan Grandpa becomes more and more astonished, his face flushed with excitement.
Having been in the business world for decades, he has never seen such an outstanding young person before!
"Rior, what do you think of our Y Group's business?" Yan Grandpa asks eagerly, his eyes shining brightly.
Rior finally feels a bit full and puts down his chopsticks, sighing lightly. "Mr. Yan, there's no need for you to test me any further. I'm not interested in becoming your son-in-law, sorry."
"What?" Mr.Yan can't hide his disappointment, and his eyes dim instantly.
For him, Rior is no longer just his daughter's savior; he is a once-in-a-century business genius! It would be a great loss if he can't bring Rior into the Y Group!
At that moment, a red circle suddenly appears in Rior's field of vision, focusing on Dexter, who is gritting his teeth and texting rapidly while looking down.
The content of Dexter's message appears in Rior's field of vision: 'The moron called Rior is too threatening to me! Within a month, make sure he's dead!'
'By the way, take care of controlling Cyan as well, do it as soon as possible!'
Damn it. Rior furrows his brows lightly. I've been avoiding confrontation, but you're escalating things? You even want to kill me? It seems like you want to deal with Cyan as well? Then let's have some fun together!
"I don't want to be your son-in-law mainly because..." Rior suddenly changes his tone, smiling at Yan Grandpa, "I might have taken a liking to your daughter, Cyan!"
