Da S and Wang Xiaofei has always attracted much attention and controversy. Recently, the rumors of their marriage have been abuzz, and they have been searched on Weibo for many times. Taiwan media broke the news that the two are facing an irreversible marriage turmoil and are going through divorce procedures.
Wang Xiaofei responded to the divorce rumors for the first time, claiming that she did not know. Wang Xiaofei's mother, Zhang Lan, said bluntly that the two would never divorce, and Big S was reluctant to Wang Xiaofei.
Unexpectedly, the big S's mother-in-law Zhang Lan ended up in person, seemingly to protect the marriage of her son and daughter-in-law, but rumors of incompatibility between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spread. The reason is that Zhang Lan liked some comments praising Wang Xiaofei for belittling Big S, which once again attracted the onlookers of the melon eaters.
Faced with such a powerful mother-in-law Zhang Lan, Da S, who is a daughter-in-law, is obviously unable to handle the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The big S with personality and temper, and the strong and magnanimous mother-in-law Zhang Lan have become the most interesting places in this divorce storm.
As a role that cannot be ignored in the marriage of Da S and Wang Xiaofei, who is such a domineering mother-in-law Zhang Lan?
01
On April 7, 11958, Zhang Lan was born into an intellectual family. Her father was a professor at Tsinghua University.
Soon after Zhang Lan was born, her family fell into disarray, her parents were assigned to a cadre school, and her living conditions also plummeted.
Zhang Lan aspired to become a surgeon when she was studying, but unfortunately her family's economic conditions did not allow it.
In desperation, Zhang Lan had to compromise with her life and went to work in a soy product factory.
There, Zhang Lan met her first husband, Wang Zehan.
Wang Zehan is the head of the supply and marketing department of the soy product factory, and Zhang Lan is the accountant in the factory.
One year after marriage, son Wang Xiaofei was born. Zhang Lan quit her job and devoted herself to taking care of her husband and son at home.
Seeing that her husband Wang Zehan's business is getting bigger and bigger, but she can only stay at home, Zhang Lan feels more and more derailed from the world.
Not reconciled to such a dull life, Zhang Lan was determined to develop her own career.
Facing Wang Zehan's unsupportive attitude, Zhang Lan resolutely applied for the business management major of Beijing Business School. She wanted to manage the company with her husband after she completed her studies.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Lan graduated from the Beijing Business School majoring in business management in 1987, she had a disagreement with her husband Wang Zehan.
Wang Zehan believes that it is enough for Zhang Lan to be at home with her husband and children, and there is no need to participate in the management of company affairs.
Zhang Lan is a woman with ambition and dreams. She cannot stay at home all her life and achieve nothing.
Because of different opinions, Zhang Lan and Wang Zehan quarreled so much that their marriage became cracked.
Unable to pin her hopes on her husband, Zhang Lan decided to start her own business after working for two years.
In 1989, 32-year-old Zhang Lan went to Canada to work alone.
Zhang Lan's purpose in going to Canada is very simple, to make money and accumulate funds for returning to China to start a business. She has done a lot of work in Canada, washing dishes in the back kitchen of a restaurant, helping in a beauty shop, helping in a restaurant, and working hard to carry pork...
At that time, the wages in foreign countries were much higher than those in China. Zhang Lan worked 16 hours a day, The money earned is equivalent to one month's salary in the country.
In order to save money, she can only sleep in the basement and prepare breakfast for the landlord's house at 6 am every morning.
On Christmas Eve in 1991, Zhang Lan ushered in a crossroads in her life - returning to China or staying in Canada.
She has been in Canada for two years, working day and night to earn $20,000 in venture capital. At the same time, Zhang Lan also got the opportunity to immigrate that many people were looking for.
02
The opportunity to immigrate to Canada is very rare, which makes Zhang Lan difficult to choose.
After thinking about it again and again, Zhang Lan returned to China with $20,000. Zhang Lan knows that immigration opportunities are very tempting to her, but she can't forget her original intention of coming to Canada, that is, to start her own business with start-up funds.
In order not to let herself be shaken, Zhang Lan even left Canada before Christmas. She felt that if she didn't move, she might really accept the opportunity to immigrate.
htmlThe 134-year-old Zhang Lan was unable to predict the success and failure of her future life when she set foot on the plane back home.
After returning to China, Zhang Lan had a brief period of confusion. She earned money to start her own business, but she never thought about which direction she would go to start a business.
Zhang Lan decided to develop in the direction of catering based on her experience working in a Canadian restaurant.
After all, people take food as their priority, and only after a full stomach can they have the strength to do other things.
Zhang Lan invested 130,000 yuan to create a Sichuan restaurant named "Alan Restaurant".
In order to make the restaurant unique, Zhang Lan went to Sichuan on a whim to chop a batch of bamboo and renovated the restaurant, making Alan Restaurant an artistic bamboo building.
After Zhang Lan became the owner of Alan Restaurant, she realized that opening a restaurant is not an easy task. She has to do everything from cooking, invoicing, purchasing, and running a restaurant.
Later, when the restaurant gradually became profitable, Zhang Lan withdrew from the kitchen.
Seeing that the restaurant's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, Zhang Lan is not only happy, but also feels the pressure and exhaustion in the process of starting a business.
She supports Alan Restaurant by herself, enjoys the praise from the outside world, and silently suffers from unknown loneliness.
The loneliness and hardships among them also need to be resolved and shared.
In 1994, Zhang Lan accidentally met photographer Tian Yibin.
Tian Yibin, nicknamed "Old Six", is a freelance photographer who loves art and has an adventurous spirit.
The two hit it off at first sight and get along very well.
Zhang Lan is five years older than Tian Yibin, but the two have a lot in common, especially in art.
Although Zhang Lan has a strong personality, she is not afraid to work hard in the business world alone, and she can't help but be moved by Tian Yibin.
Because of common interests, the two finally came together.
Later, Zhang Lan said that Tian Yibin's humor attracted her, and her life with each other was full of laughter.

Seeing that Alan Restaurant has become famous and famous in the local area, Zhang Lan began to think in a further direction. Is it true that he will run Alan Restaurant like this for the rest of his life?
It is inevitable that people go to high places and water flows to low places. Zhang Lan felt that Alan Restaurant was not the pinnacle of her career.
Zhang Lan sold the long-run Alan Restaurant and wanted to create a world-renowned Chinese food brand.
She knew in her heart that not every entrepreneurial venture would be successful.
000, Zhang Lan founded the catering company "South Beauty", which means the bridge and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River with the most Chinese characteristics, so that foreigners can see that it is a Chinese brand.
The development of South Beauty is not as smooth as Alan Restaurant.
However, Zhang Lan has high hopes for the development of South Beauty, and the decoration adopts wooden bridges and bamboos with distinctive Jiangnan style, full of classical style.
South Beauty's entry into international trade was initiated by Zhang Lan. Since South Beauty is a brand-new brand with little influence, not only did it fail to grab a good position, but it was unable to make ends meet after 4 months of opening, so Zhang Lan paid for it.
Relying on Zhang Lan's unique vision and accumulated business experience, the brand of South Beauty has gradually become a household name.
South Beauty's most glorious period brought Zhang Lan a net worth of 2.5 billion yuan and pushed her to the third place on the Hurun Restaurant Rich List.
The so-called success is also a failure and a failure. Zhang Lan's success lies in her adventurous spirit and extraordinary courage, but such a bold adventure can also lead to mistakes.
In 2008, CDH invested in South Beauty and injected 200 million yuan, which effectively relieved South Beauty's financial pressure.
Unexpectedly, three years later, in August 2011, Zhang Lan suddenly said that there was no doubt that the introduction of the investor CDH did not bring benefits to South Beauty, but instead took the shares of South Beauty.
Previously, South Beauty and CDH signed a gambling agreement. If South Beauty failed to go public at the end of 2012, and it was not because of CDH, CDH had the right to ask Zhang Lan to reclaim the shares at a high price.
From this point of view, Zhang Lan is the biggest loser if South Beauty fails to go public.
After waves of unresolved issues, the listing of South Beauty failed, and Ma Yi, the former executive of South Beauty, sued Zhang Lan to the court.
Ma Yi, one of the founding veterans of South Beauty, resigned in 2004 due to health reasons. During Ma Yi's resignation, Zhang Lan signed two "Resignation Compensation Agreements" with him, and the second compensation agreement caused controversy.
The compensation agreement stated that Zhang Lan promised to transfer a house in Chaoyang District, Beijing to Ma Yi, and Zhang Lan was responsible for repaying the house loan.
Until the end of 2012, although Zhang Lan had paid off the loan, she had not transferred the house to Ma Yi, so Ma Yi sued Zhang Lan to the court.
Regarding the housing dispute between Zhang Lan and Ma Yi, the court filed a case on September 11, but was unable to contact Zhang Lan for a long time. Later, it was found that Zhang Lan had cancelled her account on September 17.
Subsequently, the Chaoyang District Political Consultative Conference verified that Zhang Lan had cancelled her Chinese nationality.
Zhang Lan gave up her Chinese nationality and settled in an island country in the Caribbean, the Commonwealth of Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Zhang Lan is willing to give up Chinese nationality and settle in a little-known island country, just to escape the housing dispute with Ma Yi? This can't be explained.
According to Zhang Lan, she did not transfer assets to run away, but chose to use this method to help South Beauty go public.
Unfortunately, Zhang Lan's desperate attempt still did not help South Beauty go public.
Until 2014, CDH introduced CVC, a European private equity fund, and CVC directly acquired 82.7% of South Beauty's shares, hoping to recover the funds through future operations.
Unexpectedly, even though CVC acquired most of South Beauty's shares, it still did not improve South Beauty's operating conditions.
South Beauty inevitably went downhill, CVC had to transfer all the equity of South Beauty to the bank.
From then on, South Beauty is no longer exclusive to Zhang Lan.
South Beauty has a glorious 12 years before and after, creating a legendary story, but it dissipates like a fleeting fireworks.

The controversy about Zhang Lan is far from over.
On January 7, 2021, Hong Kong media reported that Zhang Lan was sentenced to one year in prison for contempt of court, and an arrest warrant has been issued.
The reason is that when Zhang Lan sold South Beauty's shares in 2015, she did not declare artworks worth more than HK$500,000. Not only that, Zhang Lan also argued that she did not directly own the artwork of HK$500,000.
Subsequently, Zhang Lan applied to submit new evidence, but was rejected.
After falling from the peak of business, 62-year-old Zhang Lan is still planning to open a new restaurant, and seems to want to return to the glory of South Beauty.
htmlOn November 9th, Zhang Lankai responded to the court's decision live, saying that he was tricked by a villain, and the other party wanted to guide public opinion through unscrupulous media in order to win the lawsuit.
Zhang Lan said that this villain not only targeted her, but also involved her son and daughter-in-law. Zhang Lan in the
live broadcast is no longer the high-spirited and smug Zhang Lan.
A business queen who was all-powerful in her youth, she was like an ordinary person worried about her family in her later years.
When she mentioned her son and daughter-in-law, Zhang Lan couldn't help crying, saying that she was sorry for them.
Zhang Lan said that the media always used "big S mother-in-law" to report her, trying to smear her. In fact, her daughter-in-law (big S) was very kind to herself and often encouraged her.
Zhang Lan also mentioned Wang Xiaofei and Da S many times in the live broadcast. In her words, Zhang Lan seems to be very satisfied with Da S's daughter-in-law.
If Wang Xiaofei and Da S quarreled, Zhang Lan would obviously stand by her son.
This time, the divorce between Wang Xiaofei and Da S has been raging. Zhang Lan praised and belittled the comments of Da S, which is enough to prove that in this marriage, Zhang Lan is more partial to her son.
However, the 10-year-old marriage between Wang Xiaofei and Da S seems to be on the cusp of the storm, but it is not so easy to reach the end.
