She is Zhang Lan, Wang Xiaofei's mother. Wang Xiaofei and Da S have been in a big mess. As Wang Xiaofei's mother, Zhang Lan inevitably caused controversy. In fact, as soon as the news of the two seemingly divorced came, the live broadcast of Zhang Lan answered the news at first she repeatedly said "pure rumors", and later she repeatedly praised her son, Wang Xiaofei, he is very good. And in the live broadcast, she also emphasized that the big S in the marriage and education of children is not easy.

And Zhang Lan has done much more than that. In a previous interview, Big S's mother said that in the dispute between Big S and Wang Xiaofei: Wang Xiaofei and Zhang Lan had repeatedly claimed to be soft to Big S. Many netizens read these two news and inevitably questioned: is this still the familiar Zhang Lan? It should be known that Zhang Lan used to be really strong. Even for the love of her son Wang Xiaofei, she had to intervene. But now it is only a few years, why Zhang Lan will become like this?

Zhang Lan was also a "trendsetter"

Many years ago, Zhang Lan was also a "trendsetter". It's been a tough road from childhood to adulthood. Her parents divorced before she was born, and when she was born in 1958, she was left with her grandmother. Fortunately, Grandma's family was well off. They had a large courtyard house. Zhang Lan, who learned to speak, also had a happy childhood.

Unfortunately, the death of maternal grandfather and three years of natural disasters made the family begin to live in difficulty. In order to support the family, Zhang Lan's mother married an engineer. Who knows that after the two got married, their relationship was not very good. The stepfather took it all out on Zhang Lan.

The young Zhang Lan is often planned by her stepfather:

6:00 a.m. to get up, 15 minutes to wash the car from the doorbell to the chain; 6:15 a.m. to clean the table, 6:30 to eat, only 10 minutes; every day after homework, to copy 50 words, to stepfather to learn to knit needles, knitting sweaters.

Once Zhang Lan did not complete her tasks within the allotted time, she would be penalized. In addition, the family was transferred to a factory in Anlu County, Hubei Province, after the "Turbulent Decade". Under the harsh conditions, her younger brother, who was a few years younger than her, suffered from rickets due to chronic malnutrition. Zhang Lan's mother suffered from heart disease.

From then on, a lot of things fell on Zhang Lan at home. It can be said that Zhang Lan had a hard time at that time. However, the hard times also nurtured her. Compared with other girls, Zhang Lan, who was not yet a teenager, had more ability and perseverance.

Studying hard, she met him

After graduating from junior high school, Zhang Lan was transferred to work in a textile factory in the county. It's not clear if she experienced too many hard times growing up.

One morning during summer vacation, Zhang Lan boarded a coal train. Sleeping and hiding in the bathroom, she made it all the way to the capital. But when she appeared before her grandmother, she thought she was a beggar.

In fact, 15-year-old Zhang Lan wanted to go back to the capital because she had heard: the father of her little sister, with whom she played, was now very capable. She thought it was an opportunity. A few days later, Zhang Lan stayed at her sister's father's office, mopping up connections. Finally, the family returned to the capital.

Living conditions have changed, Zhang Lan will not yet their future began to plan. She went to high school first. at the age of 18. Drag was admitted with honors at the Beijing Institute of Technology. She also met her first husband, Wang Zhanhan, at the university. The two fell in love at first sight and soon got together. A year after graduating from college, 23-year-old Zhang Lan gave birth to Wang Xiaofei.

By then she had graduated from a prestigious university and had a stable job. Her husband, Wang Zhanhan, also ran his own small business. The family of three was the envy of many around them. At first, Zhang Lan, who was "ready to work hard", was really addicted to this life. But after a few years, she seemed to have some dissatisfaction with the idea of doing something big.

She slowly grew tired of her quiet life and went to her uncle

Zhang Lan finally quit her job and wanted to go to her uncle's house in Canada. She was 31 years old that year. It's admirable that a middle-aged person would dare to challenge herself so bravely.

But while the ideal is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Even Zhang Lan, with the help of her uncle, could only start with the simplest way of washing dishes. For $3.50 an hour, she worked 16 hours a day at four restaurants. No weekends, no vacations. She worked almost full time.

? ?

So Zhang Lan had a tough time in Canada. But she made a lot of money. Compared with the mainland, Zhang Lan's salary in Canada at that time was very high. But she only worked there for two years. First of all, although his salary was very high, he lived in his uncle's house and had a very uncomfortable life.

More importantly, Zhang Lan didn't want to keep washing dishes.In December 1991, she returned home with 20,000 yuan in savings.

Zhang Lan began to toss

With the "first bucket of gold" in her life, Zhang Lan also began to "toss". Because she had experience in catering in Canada, she focused on catering. After a period of preparation, Zhang Lan opened her first restaurant ever.

She did everything she could to keep the restaurant running, and finally, in 1999, she was the owner of several large hotels and was planning to build her own restaurant brand, South Beauty, again.

She also set a "small goal" for her "ambition": to make South Beauty an international brand and a gourmet LV.

?

At its peak, the brand had 88 outlets nationwide. It was the sole supplier of Chinese food at the 2008 Olympics. In 2008 alone, South Beauty realized earned profits of 300 million yuan.

At that time, Zhang Lan was regarded as a "strong woman" by many people. It was the most glorious time of her life. Her son, Wang Xiaofei, came back from school. Zhang Lan appointed him as the general manager of South Beauty Catering Group, responsible for South Beauty's overseas promotion and creativity. Perhaps because she was young and reckless, coupled with the protection of his mother, Wang Xiaofei's vision is also very high.

? ?

Shortly after becoming CEO of South Beauty Restaurant Group, he reportedly encouraged Zhang Lan to take the company public. Apart from his work, Wang Xiaofei is not idle at all. It's safe to say that his love story has been much more successful than his career for years. Unfortunately, Zhang Lan is a strong woman around her mother. Basically, every relationship of Wang Xiaofei has a shadow of his mom.

Wang dislikes Zhang Lan

His first close relationship was with model Julia Feng, who was seven years younger than him. They were said to be on good terms at the time, but their relationship ended when Zhang Lan disliked Feng. Later, Wang fell in love with Zhang Yuqi and good news of marriage was rumored.

In October 2010, Wang suddenly announced his breakup with Zhang Yuqi. The relationship had been more than a year. At that time, many people were curious about why the sudden breakup when the relationship was clearly good. Zhang Yuqi's former agent has revealed: Wang Xiaofei and Zhang Yuqi have been living together for a year and a half, but Zhang Lanning is willing to pay Zhang Yuqi to leave Wang Xiaofei, but also refused to pay Wang Xiaofei to help Zhang Yuqi to cancel the contract.

? ?

It is said that Zhang Lan gave Zhang Yuqi 6 million yuan in compensation at that time to keep her away from Wang Xiaofei. It can be said that Zhang Lan's love plays a decisive role in Wang Xiaofei's love. Later, the marriage between Big S and Wang Xiaofei was agreed. As her son's age has also reached, she also wants to explore new markets.

Da S was famous both inside and outside the circle, which led to the marriage. But it was not expected that the marriage would cause public opinion. At the time, photos of their wedding site were exposed, and were questioned by the media as "wasteful and extravagant".

In order to appease public opinion, Zhang Lan had to "dispel the rumors": she and Wang Jianlin are good friends, and the wedding was sponsored by him.

?

The wedding was sponsored by Wang Jianlin.

So he met Wang Sicong, who stood in the spotlight, and "talked back" directly. The young man Wang Sicong did not give Zhang Lan a face. Zhang Lan, who has been in business for nearly two decades and has been ridiculed as a "backstabber," has become an instantly recognizable figure.

Many netizens treat their mother and son as a "joke".

In fact, it's not Wang's fault that Zhang Lan's career suffered at the time, plus the company's listing failed several times. I think more people are laughing at Zhang Lan now.

But even with all the controversy, Zhang Lan has had a wonderful life.
