"Oh, Ivan Mc, what are you doing here..."

A single "Dr. Zhou" brought a peculiar smile to Zhou Mo Sen's face.

Ivan Mc's attitude was instantly seen through by Dr. Zhou.

This heiress of a wealthy family was clearly jealous.

But Ariana, upon seeing Ivan Mc, was very polite.

"Oh my, Sister Ivan Mc, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Yes, neither did I."

Clearly, Ariana's attitude was nice, but Ivan Mc seemed a bit odd.

They must know each other.

That's normal, after all, they're both from elite circles.

Although, President Jinmao's family wealth is much less than that of the Rockefeller Clan.

That's undoubtedly true.

But don't underestimate these 'circles' in Europe and America.

Take, for instance, the times of the First and Second World Wars.

During the First World War, though many countries fought fiercely, in the end, they didn't truly tear each other apart.

Because back then, the European aristocrats were still around.

But by the Second World War, it was completely different.

By then, tearing each other apart was an understatement; they had lost all sense of decorum.

Most of the European aristocrats were almost wiped out in the First World War.

The key among them being the Tsar's family.

Earlier, it was mentioned that most of the European royals were closely related, constantly interacting within the family.

At the time, a British prince and the Tsar's prince looked remarkably alike.

That being, George V and Nicholas II.

They were truly cousins, but they looked identical, like twins.

This... everyone knows why, really.

Later, Nicholas II's entire family was sent away.

And the British royal family couldn't take it.

Upon hearing the news at the time, they threatened revenge.

After all, they were genuinely related, actual blood relatives.

And this kind of connection isn't just because of blood ties.

Many might not know, but Qianlong and Louis XVI were pen pals with frequent correspondence.

Of course, some people might not believe it.

Empress Catherine the Great had a rough relationship with Qianlong because she preferred his father, Yong Zheng.

This empress found Yong Zheng to be the true great Emperor, whereas Qianlong was nothing.

Despite the oddities in their relationships, it's not hard to see.

The nobility and royal families had a very strong sense of recognition.

And this can be considered... they were of the same class.

There were fewer people in their class, so they formed a circle.

And then?

The nobility was almost wiped out, causing this recognition to naturally decline.

It descended to the circle of capitalists.

One must first understand a fundamental distinction: being wealthy doesn't necessarily make one a capitalist.

In the United States, wealth varies, with significant differences among the rich.

Here, a special concept was born.

A truly wealthy person!

What does this mean?

Zhou Mo Sen's own understanding is, for example, the later Ma Yilong, who constantly creates chaos and stirs things up.

He became the world's richest man, right.

But he doesn't qualify as truly wealthy.

A truly wealthy person in the United States is someone who doesn't need to do anything, yet continues to make money.

Ma Yilong isn't considered truly wealthy not because he lacks money.

But because he still needs to stir things up to make money.

If he doesn't stir things up, his stocks will fall.

Conversely, someone like Bill Gates is truly wealthy.

Bill Gates actually doesn't need to do anything, and his wealth isn't even much tied to Microsoft stock anymore.

Wasn't it mentioned, if Bill Gates hadn't listened to his financial advisor's suggestion to reduce his Microsoft stock?

He would indeed be wealthier!

At least, his stock wealth would be higher.

But what's the truth?

The truth is, Bill Gates reduced his stock holdings, but he used the money to buy a vast amount of American land.

He's already a mega landlord, so whether Microsoft stock falls or not, he doesn't care.

Thus, Bill Gates and Ma Yilong form a stark contrast.

One is very low-key, while the other is very ostentatious.

But actually, before becoming truly wealthy, Bill Gates was quite ostentatious too.

In the past couple of years, Bill Gates and Jobs were bickering publicly.

And now!

Before Zhou Mo Sen are the two beautiful women, Ivan Mc and Ariana, both heirs of wealthy families.

Moreover, the families behind them are genuinely wealthy!

Don't underestimate President Jinmao; his family has been around for many generations.

Ivan Mc's family truly belongs to those who are truly wealthy.

They genuinely don't need to do anything yet remain wealthy perpetually.

The Rockefeller family is even more illustrious.

Though their Standard Oil was split back then, it didn't really matter.

Of course, if compared, Ivan Mc's family is indeed no match for Ariana's family.

This is evident.

However, comparing Ivan Mc personally to Ariana personally?

It really seems they're evenly matched.

This means Ariana's family stature isn't as high as Ivan Mc's.

Thus, these two beauties seem equally matched.

Moreover...

"Sister Ivan Mc, I'm discussing serious matters with Dr. Zhou."

"Oh? Ariana, are you implying that I'm not?"

"That's not what I mean at all, but... I'm discussing the election with Dr. Zhou."

"The election? Can't I discuss it too?"

"But..."

"What? Just because Dr. Zhou and I are business partners, I can't discuss the election?"

"Sister Ivan Mc, how can you say that? Then... how about I also partner with Dr. Zhou in business."

"Wishful thinking!"

Oh wow, they're truly part of the same circle.

Ivan Mc is firing on all cylinders, and Ariana is struggling to keep up.

Zhou Mo Sen, seeing the situation, lightly clears his throat.

Ahem.

It really worked. Ivan Mc's aggressive aura weakens quite a bit.

Then Zhou Mo Sen says, "Ariana, actually, we've discussed almost everything."

Upon hearing this, Ariana feels a bit awkward but immediately understands what Zhou Mo Sen means.

They'd discussed it beforehand!

So, let's proceed with the plan where I, Zhou Mo Sen, am in the Democratic Party but in heart, align with the Republican Party.

Ariana immediately grasps it and nods, "Well, then, Dr. Zhou, see you... oh, Sister Ivan Mc, let's chat next time."

She's not easy to deal with!

Though Ivan Mc seems victorious, she inexplicably feels she lost a bit.

What about Zhou Mo Sen?

He stands up and embraces Ivan Mc's waist.

"Who's making you so jealous?"

This tone and manner, he is indeed the God of Beauty!

Ivan Mc's demeanor changes instantly, "Master, I just..."

Let's not dwell on it.

Zhou Mo Sen settles the bill and then leads her to his car.

And then...

"Gosh, you really... did you learn something new?"

Ivan Mc smiles, full of allure.

Yet she doesn't forget to continue pecking away like a little chick...
