To say what happened in November 2013, then the news of Deng Wendi's divorce from media tycoon husband Murdoch is well-deservedly occupying the top of the hot search list, and there is much speculation about the end of the marriage between the two.
So, what exactly is the reason for this yearless marriage to come to an end, and is Wendi Deng really just using this marriage as a temporary "stepping stone" as the outside world says?
Regarding Deng Wendi, the outside world's evaluation of him is always mixed.
Some say that she is sober and has always understood what she wants; some say that she has a deep heart and writes ambition all over her face; others say that she is like a bow full of strings, clanging...
As a world-class "social flower", her life is far more exciting than you think.
An ordinary Shandong girl, how step by step married to the world's top media tycoon Murdoch, sitting firmly in the rich and wide for more than 14 years, even if she later divorced her husband, she is still circling between the remaining political celebrities, and the charm is as before.
All this must start from the acquaintance of Deng Wendi and Murdoch.
Deng Wendi, born in 1968 in Jinan, Shandong, already had two older sisters in front of her. As the third girl in this typical patriarchal family, Wendi Deng's arrival apparently did not bring much joy to her parents.
But fortunately, Deng Wendi's parents are highly educated engineers, although they still have the old idea that only boys can pass on the generations, but deng Wendi's education has not fallen.
However, when the younger brother who was pinned his hopes on was born, Deng Wendi, who had a sharp mind, had already felt the "biased" love of his parents, and this bias was undoubtedly placed on his brother's body.
This makes Deng Wendi, who does not accept defeat in his bones, very unconvinced, is it true that only boys can break out of the world? Can a girl be subordinated to a man for the rest of her life?
Deng Wendi, who did not recognize his life, remembered his parents' education and refocused his attention on books, only reading is the best way out.
Because of her hard work, deng Wendi's results are always among the best in every exam, and when she is praised by teachers and parents, her heart is more and more determined to arm herself with knowledge and change her destiny.
When I was in junior high school, my parents went to Guangdong because of the transfer of work, and at that time, my parents left Deng Wendi alone.
Studying for exams, eating and sleeping, doing laundry and doing housework, she was all alone.
The most difficult thing is that because there are many children in the family, Deng Wendi can not get much living expenses, and Deng Wendi at that time only had one dream, that is, he could eat meat at every meal.
Perhaps, it is precisely because she has to bear the pressure of independent life at a young age, which has cultivated her strong mind and independent sense of personality.
She did not feel sad because of the "fierceness" of her parents, during the time when she lived alone, her personality became more cheerful and optimistic, and her grades were still outstanding, and because of the advantage of height, she also joined the school volleyball team and was favored by the coach and became the main force.
After graduating from high school, Deng Wendi was admitted to Guangzhou Medical College under the advice of his parents and chose medicine. Seeing the outside world, Wendi Deng was not willing to be trapped in the hospital after graduation, and she had a bigger dream - to study in the United States.
In the eyes of friends at that time, Deng Wendi's idea was a fantasy.
After all, in those days, going abroad was not an easy task, and even if you could go out, you would need a lot of financial support and, more importantly, a fluent English.
Deng Wendi, who excelled in all his homework, had mediocre English scores, not to mention spoken English. In the eyes of friends, Deng Wendi may only be a whim.
But I didn't expect her to be serious.
English is not good, you can find foreigners to learn.
It was also fate that Deng Wendi happened to know Jack Cheley and his wife who came to work in China, and the two were influenced by Deng Wendi's enterprising spirit of diligence and inquisitiveness, and agreed to help Deng Wendi learn English, and later helped Deng Wendi apply for California State University in the United States, assisting her in visas and other matters.
Deng Wendi did not hesitate to give up medicine and turned around and went to the country of dreams.
Upon arriving in the United States, Wendi Deng's connection with The Jack Cherry couple became more and more intense, and during this time, she fell in love with Jack Cherry.
The next thing is very logical, 53-year-old Cherry chose to divorce his wife, turned around and married 22-year-old Deng Wendi.
At this time, Deng Wendi knew very well that this marriage was just a transaction, she paid for her youth, Jack Cherry was responsible for her tuition and living expenses at university, and helped her get a green card to survive in the United States.
As Wendi Deng expected, the marriage lasted only two and a half years.
After graduating from state university, Wendi Deng found an internship at an accounting firm with a very low salary.
When the gap struck, Deng Wendi did not give up, she set her eyes on the world famous yale university again, she knew very well that only when she continued to improve, the circle she wanted would beckon to herself.
Wendi Deng's actions are always in sync with his thoughts. She took the initiative to find the most prestigious Professor Blake in the school, and expressed her thoughts earnestly, hoping that Professor Blake would write a letter of recommendation for her.
Due to Wendi Deng's excellent performance in school, Blake did not refuse her request.
Wendi Deng did not insult Professor Blake's reputation, she passed the interview at Yale University with excellent performance, and became one of them as she wished.
After obtaining her Yale University diploma, Wendi Tang decided to go to Hong Kong to develop, and in order to have the opportunity to make friends in the upper circles, she gritted her teeth and bought a first-class seat when flying to Hong Kong.
And as Wendi Deng expected, in the seat next to her was Bruce, a member of the board of Merckdo News Group. Deng Wendi pressed the excitement in his heart and talked to Bruce as usual.
Wendi Deng's previous efforts were not in vain, and the aura of Yale University added a lot to her, and because of this, she got a job to intern at Star TV.
Deng Wendi who stepped on the post still did not slacken off in the slightest, treating the responsible work meticulously, coupled with her good communication skills, as long as there is no understanding of the place, she humbly consulted the seniors, step by step to lay a solid foundation, and soon, Deng Wendi was upgraded from a workplace white to a manager.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared. By chance, the big boss Merckdo visited Hong Kong to inspect the work, and because of Wendi Deng's outstanding ability, she was selected as Murdoch's accompanying translator.
For Merckdo, who is thunderous in the industry, Deng Wendi has long heard of it, and Deng Wendi, who is good at seizing opportunities, has entered Murdoch's sight with superb social and emotional intelligence.
Cheerful and generous, and talented, the 68-year-old Murdoch was quickly attracted by Wendi Deng's ingenuity and began a passionate pursuit.
In May 1998, on the 17th day after divorcing his wife Anna, the 68-year-old Murdoch gave Wendi Deng an unforgettable cruise ship wedding.
Murdoch can be described as a happy person, and he has declared to the outside world more than once: "I am very lucky to meet Deng Wendi, I feel that I am at least 30 years younger." ”
After marriage, Deng Wendi also conceived through ivy tubes and successfully gave birth to two daughters for Murdoch.
After the 2011 "wiretap gate" incident, Murdoch, who was trapped in it, was attacked by intruding protesters at a hearing in the British Parliament, and the responsive Deng Wendi immediately blocked her husband's side and gave the other party a slap.
At this point, Deng Wendi became famous in one battle, and also took the opportunity to take off the "little three" label that the Western media hit her. Pessimistic people about this love affair have also changed their minds.
Unexpectedly, this marriage came to an end in 2013. It is said that the reason why the two divorced is also inextricably linked to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
The cause of the incident is quite dramatic, and the reason why the news of Blair and Wendi Deng's "scandal" was implemented and reached Merckdo's ear was because Wendi Deng accidentally sent a private email originally written to Blair to the mailbox of a News Corp. executive.
The content of this email is also the itinerary of Deng Wendi's invitation to Murdoch to spend the night on a farm in Carmel Valley, California.
The executive who received the email realized that the situation was serious and rushed to send the email to Murdoch's mailbox. Murdoch, who saw the mail, was furious and immediately launched an investigation into his wife.
He immediately went to the Farm in Carmel Valley, California, and his home in Los Angeles, and asked the staff there and the servants at home, his wife, and Blair whether they had spent the night there as the email said.
To Murdoch's shame, the staff who had worked for him for many years disclosed that in October 2012 and April 2013, there were two weekends when Wendi Deng and Blair came to the farm at the same time to spend the weekend together!
Before that, Wendi Deng told Murdoch that he had come here simply to party with his friends.
What shocked Murdoch even more was that the maid of the farm revealed that Blair would also come to the farm from time to time under the escort of bodyguards to find Deng Wendi, and enter the room with dignity and be alone with Deng Wendi; the two even fed each other food at the table...
More and more evidence has surfaced, and the spearhead has invariably pointed to the wife's extramarital affair with her friend Blair.
In this regard, Murdoch immediately made a decision to divorce, and decided to break off relations with his friend Blair, who was humiliated by him.
As soon as the news came out, the first thing that stood up and added to the fire was the media.
The American "Vanity Fair" magazine took the lead in exposing Deng Wendi's essay love letter to Blair, in which Deng Wendi said that Blair gave himself a very warm feeling and was deeply attracted by the charm of the other party.
She wrote: "Oh damn... Why do I miss Tony so much, because he's well-dressed, in good shape, so charming..."
According to the British "Daily Mail" report, Deng Wendi and Blair have also exchanged more than 300 pages of private emails between them, and the closeness of the words is beyond imagination!
According to a person familiar with the e-mails who has read these e-mails euphemistically: "If these e-mails were written by my wife, I would be furious." ”
In this regard, although Blair's side strenuously denied it, his friend said: "Ms. Deng Wendi has been helping to manage Mr. Blair's fund, and Blair is also the godfather of Murdoch's daughter, the two are good friends, and it is not surprising that they exchange emails frequently." ”
However, when things came to this point, Murdoch's divorce from Wendi Deng was already a foregone conclusion, and he could not forgive his wife for infidelity to the marriage, nor could he forgive his friends for cheating on him.
Therefore, when he learned that Blair would also be present at the Sun Valley Conference he was invited to attend in July of that year, Murdoch directly stated to the organizers: "With Blair, there is no me!" ”
On November 20, 2013, after the two signed a divorce agreement, the fourteen-year-long marriage came to an end.
In this regard, although Deng Wendi has regrets and losses, he still said to Merckdo: "Thank you."
In an interview with Fortune magazine after the divorce, Murdoch said of Wendi Deng:
"When I got the news, I was still in Australia, and everyone was talking about it, but no one told me until I found two things at the manor that could be used as circumstantial evidence."
"I had a very bad January and February after the divorce, and at my home in San Francisco, I also had a fall with my head on the carpet and a friend called in a neurosurgeon who said I didn't have a concussion."
Although there were many discomforts in the early days of the divorce, five months later, Merckdo's life turned a new chapter, and after spending money on a 5-hectare vineyard in California, he bought a mansion worth $57.25 million in Manhattan.
On March 4, 2016, the 84-year-old Murdoch held his fourth marriage in London with his girlfriend Hall, a 58-year-old supermodel, and said bluntly on Twitter: "I feel like the happiest and luckiest man in the world." ”
Looking at Deng Wendi, after divorcing Murdoch, the little fresh meat boyfriend around him has also changed and changed, and his life is very wanton.
In terms of dating, Deng Wendi is still very good, she and former US President Trump's daughter Ivanka has become a good girlfriend, the two often meet to travel, play ball, the relationship is very close.
In addition, Wendi Deng also dabbled in the film industry, investing in the movie "Snowflake Secret Fan", under the operation of his friend Anna Wintur, the famous magazine "Vogue" also did a lot of publicity and coverage of this film.
Although the film has achieved dismal results in terms of box office and word-of-mouth, Deng Wendi's communication ability can also be seen. It can only be said that people on the double business line, no matter where they are, can turn it into their home field.
