Ask all male compatriots a question,

Do not lie.

On the left is Zhang Zetian, 32 years old, a graduate of Tsinghua University,

with a pure appearance and a clean temperament,

a wealthy family background,

her father, Zhang Lihao, is the president of Huisheng Investment Group.

On the right is Tian Pujun, 44 years old,

a dropout from the Central Academy of Drama,

an actress by profession,

with an ordinary family background,

and no prominent background.

If you were a top tycoon,

and had to choose one of these two

as your wife,

who would you choose?

I threw this question to the male classmates around me,

and the result was almost without suspense,

everyone chose Zhang Zetian.

To be honest,

I would likely choose her too.

In terms of age, education, appearance, family conditions,

and the "match level in a worldly sense",

Zhang Zetian is almost the standard answer.

It is precisely because of this that

I am even more puzzled about one thing:

Why would a tycoon like Wang Shi

choose Tian Pujun?

The key to this question

is not about "who is better",

but rather from whose perspective we are looking.

Ordinary men choose their partners,

much more about making an "upward configuration" or "minimizing risk choices":

young, stable, decent, easy to get along with,

and preferably can add points to the family.

But Wang Shi is not an ordinary man.

When a person stands at the peak of wealth,

status, and social resources,

what he considers is

no longer the "optimal conditions".

Instead, it is about

emotional value, spiritual tension,

and the unequal game in relationships.

The higher someone stands,

the less they need a "perfect template",

and instead, they are more easily attracted by

aggressive, ambitious, and self-expressive individuals.

So many choices you cannot understand

are not because of a miscalculation,

but simply because they are not based on your set of algorithms.

Ordinary people use the "cost-performance model",

top players use the "emotion and power model".

You stand on the ground,

you naturally cannot understand

why those on the mountain top walk towards the edge of the cliff.

This is not an aesthetic difference;

it is a difference in life stages and game dimensions.

Not understanding

does not mean it is unreasonable;

it just indicates that

that option is no longer designed for you.
