Huang Rongbing returned to Los Angeles from San Diego.
She went straight home to meet with her father.
Huang Wanhao had a typical Chinese appearance.
In fact, after Chinese people have been in the United States for a while, they start to develop some unfortunate looks.
For example, the corners of the mouth are always slightly upturned, as if smiling all the time, because of speaking English or perhaps too many American-style fake smiles.
Also, they begin to look more like Indians.
This is called Indianization.
Huang Wanhao was a typical example, but fortunately, he didn't look completely like an Indian.
When his daughter came back, he should have been happy, but instead, he looked serious.
"Has that plan really started clinical trials?"
"It should be called tracking."
"How long is this tracking supposed to take?"
"Well... Dr. Zhou didn't say."
"Oh! Can't it be a bit faster?"
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's not that I want to hurry, but the sooner the results come out, the better."
"I understand."
Huang Rongbing definitely felt uncomfortable; her father, Huang Wanhao, was hiding something from her.
However, she had already done everything she could do.
As for the rest, she couldn't manage much more.
Then she chatted with her father about various things and went back to her room to change clothes for dinner.
But today, Huang Rongbing was alert.
She planned to see what her father was hiding from her.
It was obvious that her uncle hadn't continued to focus on diabetes, which was a significant blow to her father.
The current situation was already quite good.
After all, her father had secured quite a few investments, but...
Huang Rongbing had always been curious.
How did her father manage to get those investments?
Although she shouldn't be concerned about this matter, it wouldn't hurt to find out, right?
So, she didn't hurry to change clothes.
Her room was on the second floor. After entering the room, she closed the door and quickly came out again.
Of course, she carefully opened the door, trying not to make any noise.
Fortunately, her father soon started talking on the phone with someone.
"Oh, we've already been very quick."
"The key is, Boss Zhao, he's the one..."
"Okay, it's his daughter, but regarding the investment..."
"Is the Zhao Family really interested? ... Interested, really? That's great!"
Although she heard it intermittently, Huang Rongbing still gathered a lot of information.
The Zhao Family?
Which Zhao Family?
For some reason, Huang Rongbing thought of a very powerful Zhao Clan.
Actually, it was because her father, Huang Wanhao, would inadvertently mention this Zhao Clan before.
Specifically, that was the Fumao Group.
This Zhao Family was quite amazing. They originally dealt in maritime business and then grew increasingly prominent.
They've now primarily entered the financial industry.
Simply put, they are very wealthy... To be precise, they are currently the richest Chinese family in the United States.
Especially the family head, Zhao Xicheng, and his wife, Mulan, have six children in total.
But all six children are daughters.
They are called the Six Blossoms of Gold.
Huang Rongbing couldn't help but think of how, when she was a child, her father always compared her to these six unseen blossoms.
Look at their kids!
That was roughly the meaning.
Yet, although she was compared this way, which can be considered a kind of disparaging education...
She had to admit it honestly.
There was no choice; these Six Blossoms of Gold were indeed formidable.
Four of the blossoms went to Harvard, and the remaining two also attended prestigious universities.
They have money... This was the excuse Huang Rongbing gave herself.
But that's not all.
The key is the eldest of the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaolan, who married a prominent figure in the Republican Party, McConnell.
Alright, Huang Rongbing didn't envy this marriage because McConnell was too old.
But once she married, she indeed gained power.
Zhao Xiaolan is now the current Secretary of Labor.
Don't underestimate the position of Secretary of Labor.
This is a cabinet member.
Many people don't quite understand the U.S. political system.
Let's put it this way, the President of the United States doesn't have the power to remove a senator.
But he has the power to remove his own cabinet members.
Because the cabinet is appointed by the president, which means these secretaries are essentially the president's subordinates.
Conversely, these secretaries are also trusted confidants of the president.
Highly trusted.
And the Secretary of Labor actually manages the economy.
Some people might say, that's impossible, isn't there a Department of Commerce?
In fact, the Department of Commerce manages commercial matters, essentially foreign and domestic trade.
But what about the Department of the Treasury?
The U.S. Department of the Treasury essentially manages money, like accounting.
But the Department of Labor is different; indeed, they manage employment.
However, employment is an extremely important indicator of economic prosperity in American society.
Employment relationships are incredibly important in a society like the United States.
Many economic policies have to be formulated based on this employment data; some are even directly related.
Just like in the last administration, the Labor Secretary from the Chain Sect was Robert Lake.
He is a well-known public intellectual in the United States, a famous economist from Berkeley Branch.
In fact, the formulation of an economic policy in the United States...
Starts from the Department of Labor providing data, then combines with the Department of Commerce's trade data, before finally setting financial measures, which means the Federal Reserve sets interest rates.
Yes, that's how it is in the U.S.; its true economic policy is actually setting the interest rate for the US Dollar.
Because changes in the US Dollar interest rate can affect the global economy.
The ebb and flow of the US Dollar are America's best weapons for world domination.
Alright, to be fair, this fits well with a capitalist market economy.
Because interest rates will drive the flow of capital.
The market economy itself is about adjusting capital allocation, but this regulation will have issues.
And the US Dollar interest rate is that 'invisible hand' of America.
Understanding this, you'll realize just how powerful the Secretary of Labor is.
Zhao Xiaolan's predecessor, Robert Lake, was praised as one of the best cabinet members in U.S. history.
The Chain Sect's rise to power was partly because of his slogan.
"It's the economy, stupid!"
When he took office, he indeed improved the economy significantly.
The American public also really liked the Chain Sect; despite him dethroning Levin, his popularity remained high.
Robert Lake was a significant contributor.
And Zhao Xiaolan?
She seems just average.
But even so, the Zhao Family's strength is not something the Huang Family can compare to.
However, Huang Rongbing roughly understood.
The investment her father secured must have some connection to the Zhao Family.
It seems... Zhao Xicheng's wife was rumored to have cancer early on.
Not diabetes!
So, could it be that someone else in the Zhao Family has diabetes?
That's why they're so eager to invest in this diabetes project.
Thinking of this, Huang Rongbing couldn't help but think of her uncle.
Huang Xinxiang was studying anti-cancer drugs, taxol!
Looking at it this way...
If either of the Huang brothers makes a breakthrough in their research...
They could both potentially latch onto the big ship of the Zhao Family!
At this point, Huang Rongbing finally understood what everything before was for!
A myriad of emotions filled her mind.
It was just about connecting with the Zhao Family... Well, the Zhao Family is indeed the number one Chinese family in the U.S. now.
Building a good relationship with such a family or benefiting from them...
That's not wrong either.
"Bing'er."
"Ah, I'm ready."
Huang Wanhao finished his call, and it was unclear if he noticed his daughter eavesdropping.
...
In a high-end restaurant in Irvine.
Zhou Mo Sen and Ariana were dining.
They simply agreed to have a meal together.
Weren't they previously discussing that donation issue?
Although the food in the U.S. isn't great, this high-end restaurant serves French cuisine.
At least the plating is attractive.
Unfortunately, Ariana seemed uninterested.
"Beautiful Ariana, if you don't eat, I'll feel bad."
Zhou Mo Sen's words... Absolutely flirtatious literature!
Ariana, still in her early twenties, blushed.
"Don't feel bad, actually... I'm just quite troubled."
Finally, she's about to say something, isn't she?
Zhou Mo Sen had long been prepared, his expression still pained, then he said:
"Do you know we Chinese have a story?"
"What story?"
"It's called, being in the Cao camp with a heart that longs for the Han."
"Ah? What, what does this mean?"
Seeing this Rockefeller girl so curious, I'll teach her, Zhou Mo Sen thought.
This is also a chance to introduce some Chinese culture to foreigners!
