New York State, a place far from the hustle and bustle.
Compared to the bustling metropolis of New York, this is a place close to nature.
Mark returned from New York City, exhausted.
Everyone knows how workdays go.
He actually prefers nature.
Honestly, it allows him to relax and unwind.
As for when he will venture back into the big city, he is not sure yet.
But it's okay, he can live in his hometown.
Mark drove home, this country road had only two lanes.
That was normal, but today it seemed unusual.
Because he saw a car coming from the opposite direction, moving at an astonishing speed.
And crucially, he saw a small black shadow, as if it were flying, landed in the middle of the opposite lane.
Oh no!
With a "splat," the road now had the body of a squirrel.
Mark's car had already passed, but he quickly pulled over to the side of the road to go back and take a look.
As he expected, there was no chance left.
The squirrel had died just like that.
It had appeared there purely because of an acorn.
Really...
Mark was a bit downcast, he truly empathized with the squirrel.
Because they were very much alike, both just trying to survive.
But, after all, it was just a squirrel.
Yet, when Mark turned to leave, he found a very tiny creature by the roadside.
This little thing seemed to have its eyes still closed.
In an instant, Mark made a decision.
"Peanuts, from now on, you'll be called Peanuts. Although I'm allergic to them, you seem like you'd enjoy eating them."
That very small baby squirrel, Mark took it home and started caring for it.
He even gave it a name.
The tiny Peanuts seemed quite happy after hearing its new name.
It nodded to Mark.
Mark was extremely pleased; he knew he had made the right choice.
This happened seven years ago.
"Hey! Friends! Today, today I'm going to release Peanuts back into the wild."
Seven years later, Peanuts had become a very mature squirrel.
Mark was planning to release it.
It's the right thing to do, and besides, he had actually checked the law.
The United States does not allow private citizens to keep squirrels.
The law indeed prohibits it.
But over these years, nothing major had happened.
So, let it return to nature now.
Mark also shared this on the internet.
Yes, he had now become an internet celebrity.
His videos content was mainly about his daily life with Peanuts.
It must be said, this little squirrel was quite endearing.
Thus, with hundreds of American netizens as witnesses.
Peanuts returned to the big forest.
Mark cried as well.
And naturally, quite a few people online cried too.
But, all of this was just something among a few hundred people.
The video was uploaded online, but it was unlikely to go viral.
Mark returned to his own life, turning back to being alone.
But, to his surprise, a few weeks later.
Peanuts came back again.
"Hey! Little guy, you, you..."
This squirrel looked very pitiful, its whole body trembling, and its gaze at Mark clearly asking for help.
Mark quickly noticed.
This little fellow had one section of its tail missing.
Clearly, Peanuts was not suited for a life in the wild. It probably couldn't survive on its own as a genuine squirrel.
But that's okay, Mark was quite happy too.
He immediately put Peanuts' return online.
Many American netizens who had been following them were overjoyed.
Wasn't this also quite good?
Moreover, Mark didn't just take care of Peanuts, he also made a decision.
Why not renovate some unused areas of his farm and turn it into a wildlife shelter?
The idea was good and received a lot of support from netizens.
He soon made it happen.
Thus, his interactions with Peanuts were very well-received.
His videos had thousands of views online.
And the numbers kept rising.
This gave Mark confidence.
The shelter steadily gained popularity, and more and more animals arrived.
But sometimes, things just change out of the blue.
"Sir, someone reported you for privately keeping wild animals."
The U.S. police came to his door.
Someone had reported this, which was indeed troublesome.
And worse things happened.
As Mark was negotiating with the police, he noticed Peanuts showed up.
"Oh my God!"
Peanuts bit the officer's hand.
Damn!
The police wouldn't let this slide easily.
So soon, the video online turned into this.
"Friends! Sob... I have to tell you something sad, Peanuts is dead. It bit a cop, and then they killed it..."
Mark's video probably didn't have any special intention.
But as soon as it appeared online, it went viral almost instantly!
"F*ck! Why couldn't they spare even a squirrel?"
"It just bit someone, couldn't they just give it a rabies shot? Why kill it?"
"Isn't America always claiming to love little animals? Then why couldn't they make room for just a tiny squirrel!"
"I say, Peanuts was too naive. If it could produce a Mexican birth certificate, not only could it survive, but it could also get a five hundred dollar shopping voucher!"
"Exactly! Peanuts just wasn't an immigrant squirrel from abroad!"
"Native American squirrels are struggling to survive!"
"At this moment, I feel like I am Peanuts!"
"We're not even as well off as Peanuts! At least it was happy when it was famous!"
"Damn! It's all your fault, you Democratic Party bastards! It's all your fault!"
Originally, it was a video viewed by just a few thousand people. Now, the number of views is increasing geometrically.
In a short period of time, the views have reached millions, tens of millions...
How many people are there in the United States?
And it's still rising.
The key is, many people almost immediately connected this with the peanuts incident.
Yes, it's that easy.
Local squirrels... If they were foreign squirrels, would it be the same?
The local squirrels are really in a tragic situation.
Consequently, the comments under the video soon changed.
"During the election! We'll avenge you, peanuts!"
"Yes! We will definitely punish those bastards!"
"Friends! Let's take action!"
That's right, they truly intend to do that, even planning to do just that.
In fact... yes, completely correct, that person also knows.
So, when a blond old man dressed in a squirrel mascot costume appeared at his campaign rally.
"Every gram! America-gorilla-our case!"
This old man proclaimed, making America great again, everyone believed him!
At that moment, it truly became an artwork!
...
"Ah? Really?"
"Yes, that's it."
"You mean, a squirrel influenced the final election result?"
"Maybe not decisively, but it did have a significant impact."
Zhou Mo Sen heard about this story, of course, still in his own country.
But the person who shared this story left him unable to doubt it.
Ariana came.
As a member of the Rockefeller Clan, she narrated this story.
It was really persuasive.
Of course, Ariana's visit was also a reason to retreat.
No choice, just look at the current situation.
In many places, they really started fighting.
Fortunately, it wasn't too severe.
But, some people really snapped.
Like Xu Mo's Hollywood stars.
Just like Robert Downey Jr., and many Hollywood superheroes he leads.
This group of guys all supported that someone.
But as a result, they were all terribly scolded.
And then there's Taylor Swift.
Originally, her influence was indeed enormous.
But this time, she was extremely criticized.
Even many came out to rip into her.
However, Ariana told the squirrel story.
That Zhou Mo Sen wanted to talk about people.
"In my view, what truly influenced the outcome was actually people."
"Zhou, I understand what you mean."
"No, you probably don't quite understand yet."
"Then what are you trying to say?"
"Ma Yilong, his son."
"Ah? Ah... hahaha..."
Ariana laughed, but the laughter was a bit awkward.
This person... expressed something quite unique.
From the results, Ma Yilong has been elevated to Ma Baoguo this time.
In Great America, he's indeed accomplished greatly.
Now, many online netizens have 'promoted' him.
United States Marquis, Duke of Baoguo, Lord of Mars... cough, too many titles to mention.
But you must know Ma Yilong is a businessman from California, his company was originally in California, he also rose from Silicon Valley.
Such a person, originally absolutely supported the Democratic Party.
But why this time a 180-degree shift?
We all know the reason.
It's because his son's nerve was cut.
Actually, regarding this matter, Ariana knows much more than Zhou Mo Sen.
"They regret it too."
"Really?"
"It's more of a collateral damage."
"Then..."
"But you know, some things once lost are gone, this... hahaha..."
Ariana couldn't hold it anymore.
Zhou Mo Sen couldn't bring up the matter further.
Yet, compared to a squirrel influencing the final result,
Zhou Mo Sen feels people have a bigger impact.
Forget it, let's not mention these anymore.
"Baby, how long do you plan to stay here?"
"This..."
Ariana was a bit blushing too.
...
Zhou Mo Sen's view on the squirrel story is,
there's a kind of inexplicable comedic sense.
Animal protection and others, it's determined that the foreigners wanted to fool us.
But also need to say,
foreigners really believe it.
Moreover, this story can absolutely let magazines like Yilin write several articles.
This time they didn't fabricate, this time it's authentically true.
Previously there was a sparrow making F15 crash into a power station, that was indeed too ridiculous.
But now a squirrel... what do you say?
Isn't it stronger than a sparrow?
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen really wants to ask,
where are the people?
He's a doctor.
From the beginning, he focused on people.
Saving people, right?
But it seems, that Great America...
Forget it, can be diagnosed.
No cure!
