CHAPTER 43 WINE AND POLITE TALK (1/2)

This was the second time the entire office was quiet after Lin Rui came in. Tony looked at the young man in front of him and blinked rapidly. He did not expect that this smart young man will be able to always bring some surprises to him.

“Jackson, you can really surprise me! Maybe you shouldn’t be an ordinary journalist. I have the idea of you coming to work for Stark Industries. Slowly leaning on the chair, Tony looked across at Lin Rui and said slowly.

The question Lin Rui just raised is indeed the two biggest drawbacks of Arc Reactor, and the cost is good to say that there are more wealthy people in the world than Lin Rui thought. The key is that the full Arc Reactor device is really too big and time-consuming to maintain.

As a perfectionist, Tony is certainly reluctant to admit that his invention is so flawed. But he had to admit that Lin Rui was right, and that was Tony’s distress. Thirty years have passed since Arc Reactor was created, and Tony has almost abandoned some of its plans.

“Mr. Stark is overestimating me, I just said things from my point of view. And I think Mr. Stark must also be actively looking for ways to reduce the volume of Arc Reactor. The world’s first computer was created in 1946 and it took decades to shrink its size. As the top genius of this century, Mr. Tony Stark, I think it shouldn’t take so long if you really put your heart into it. Looking at Tony, Lin Rui kindled him a little. Although I don’t know how Tony suddenly found a way to shrink the Arc Reactor in the original movie, Lin Rui thought that giving Tony an incentive in advance should make Tony find a way earlier.

“Hum! Decades, you really underestimate me.” Tony certainly doesn’t think it’s going to take him decades to find a design that will shrink Arc Reactor.

“Then I’m looking forward to Mr. Stark’s latest design, but I’ll have the first news then.” At that point, Lin Rui just wanted Tony to take this issue seriously earlier. Although he knew Tony would design a small Arc Reactor when he was kidnapped by terrorists, it would be better if the design was completed earlier.

“Well, I don’t think you’ll wait too long.” With a promise, Tony felt that he needed to hurry up and not allow the young man in front of him to see him as a joke.

“Of course I believe Mr. Stark.” Lin Rui responded with a smile.

“All right, Jackson. Even if you want to be a qualified journalist, it’s still too serious for your age. Would you like a glass? Watching Tony and Jackson actually talk about Arc Reactor, Pepper shook the wine in his hand and asked Lin Rui.

“Although I haven’t reached the legal drinking age yet, I think it’s okay to drink something. And, there should be very few people who have the opportunity to drink the wine that Miss Pepper served.” Smiling and nodding, Lin Rui would not really care about the legal age limit for drinking at the age of twenty-one. His mental age was already over twenty-one!

“Oh, Do young people talk like you now?” It was boasted by Lin Rui without leaving any traces. Pepper smiled and poured a little red wine for Lin Rui. There is only one point. She doesn’t want this 16-year-old young man to get drunk in Tony’s office.

“Thank you.” Lifting his glass, Lin Rui greeted Tony slightly in front of him and drank it off.

“Ah! I don’t know how to describe the taste, but I think I should say it’s good now! ” Feeling the indescribable odor in his mouth, Lin Rui said with a slight frown.

“Ha ha! Pepper, it seems that our little boy is a good drinker. Pour him another drink, and I’ll have a good drink with Jackson this time! ” Looking at Lin Rui’s frown, Tony seems to have found something that can hit him. Smiling, he says to the nearby Pepper that he is not bullying others.

“Tony, that’s not good. Jackson is still young. Do you really want him drunk?” Pepper certainly won’t listen to Tony like that. She just wanted Lin Rui to have a drink to ease the atmosphere.

But as Pepper finished, Lin Rui, sitting opposite, had put the glass on the table again and pushed it forward a little, and the meaning of his gesture was clear.

Ha-ha, it seems that our Jackson wants to drink a few more glasses too! Pepper, what are you waiting for? The guest has pushed the glass over. Seeing Lin Rui push the glass over, Tony’s eyes lit up and he said happily to Pepper.

“Jackson, are you sure?” Without listening to Tony, Pepper asked Lin Rui again.

“That’s all right, Miss Pepper. I can still drink this wine, as long as I don’t let my parents know.” Shaking his hands, Lin Rui said earnestly.

Lin Rui also wants to have more drinks with Tony. It’s better to get Tony drunk and talk a little bit more then. Another thing is that Lin Rui has not drunk wine for a long time. This time, he can get the best red wine. Although he doesn’t know what it tastes like, he won’t miss the chance.

“Then you have to pay attention to yourself, don’t get drunk. You can’t talk to your parents then.” Pepper finally gave another command, and then poured some wine into Lin Rui’s glass.

“Ha ha! Come on, have a drink with our Jackson! ” Tony laughed and touched Lin Rui’s glass with his glass.

With a soft click, Tony glanced at Lin Rui and drank his wine. Then, of course, the opposite Lin Rui finished his drink, showing a young man’s character.

“Pepper, get us another bottle. It seems Jackson is very happy today!” It seems that Lin Rui is a man who won’t give in easily, Tony waved to Pepper.

“You… oh! Forget it. Don’t bother me if you’re drunk.” Pepper wanted to persuade two with more words, but at last, she thought it over and gave the two naive guys a drink.
