It is not about assets, not about talent, not about the number of family members, and certainly not about Li Yifei having many women of high quality, including the backing of Su Family's Su Mengxin. None of these matter; if the Zhao Family wants women, what type would be unavailable? Celebrities? Socialites? Political figures? Or even princesses? Even if they don't look the part, they could have plastic surgery to become so.
Zhao Tiannan isn't thinking about these things. As the saying goes, see the essence through the phenomenon; Zhao Tiannan is contemplating the model of the Li family. The rise of the Li family certainly has many accidental factors, but also inevitable ones, particularly regarding the Li family's model—not like those long-established sprawling and decadent families that have been entrenched for decades. The Li family's model is very innovative and leans more towards the state's will.
