"If I don't marry the rich second generation, some of my appearance, my figure, my good character, my beautiful character, and even my soul will be ruined. ”
This is what Zhou Lanjun said to the camera in 2014 when she participated in the recording of the show "Blind Date Will Win", how could she have such a weird talk at the age of 22, she is a sophomore at Zhejiang Gongshang University.
In the past, there was Sister Feng's "crazy words", and after that, there was Ma Nuo's "bold words" who "would rather cry in the BMW than smile on the bicycle". Now there is Zhou Lanjun's remark that "if you are not a rich second generation worth more than 50 million, you will not marry".
10 years in the blink of an eye. Zhou Lanjun has entered the age of establishment, does she regret the criteria for choosing a mate back then? Has she realized her dream back then and found the rich second-generation husband she liked?
Born in 1992, Zhou Lanjun is from Bengbu City, Anhui Province, with a hint of difference in the ordinary. In the family, her father, an engineer, was macho. Her mother was a gentle and delicate housewife, and even though she took care of all the housework, she was often criticized by her father.
Since she was a child, Zhou Lanjun has been resistant to her father's harsh criticism of her mother, and she is determined to grow up as soon as possible and achieve financial independence in order to get rid of her father's control. In her studies, she redoubled her efforts because of her father's strictness. In middle school, she won the first prize in the Xiamen essay competition and later won the second prize in the national English competition. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to Zhejiang Gongshang University as she wished.
A new chapter in her university life has begun, and Zhou Lanjun has won a scholarship with excellent grades, which has brought her a great sense of achievement. But her love life was blank. Zhou Lanjun lives with four roommates, all of whom come from families with better economic conditions, parents who are either businessmen or local officials, and there is no shortage of clothing, shoes and bags of famous brands and luxury goods in their lives. And their respective boyfriends' conditions are also quite superior, which makes Zhou Lanjun jealous, and she has the idea of finding a boyfriend with more financial resources, because she feels that she is no worse than her roommates and studies better than them.
However, the circle of friends in school does not seem to be ideal. She doesn't look down on those who admire her, and she disdains her when she likes. The situation of singleness lasted until the sophomore year, at that time, the blind date variety show on TV was extremely popular, and many single men and women found their favorite objects with the help of this platform, which made Zhou Lanjun's eyes light up and decided to give it a try.
For Zhou Lanjun, the words of the matchmaker (similar to an intermediary) seemed to open the door to a new world, and she was told that with her own conditions, she could match someone worth more than 20 million. This gave her a great deal of vanity.
In June 2014, Zhou Lanjun received a special invitation letter and was invited to participate in the recording of the TV show "Blind Date to Win". Responsible for greeting her was Hu Dan, who served as a blind date correspondent in the show.
According to the procedure, the correspondent is required to have a conversation with the participants of the show before the recording begins to understand their mate selection preferences. This step helps the show's production team match the contestants with the ideal guests of the opposite sex. When talking to the camera, Zhou Lanjun expressed his expectations without hesitation: "I want to find a rich second generation with assets of 50 million, I want the city, not the countryside." ”
This remark shocked not only the commissioner Hu Dan, but also the film crew in the film and television production team.
Hu Dan expressed a kind reminder to Zhou Lanjun that such a straightforward mate selection standard may cause public criticism and affect her chance to find true love. Once this episode airs, she may become the object of ridicule or malicious criticism on the Internet, but not everyone is brave enough to face it or have the ability to deal with such public opinion.
However, Zhou Lanjun didn't seem to care about it. She even said that she would not be affected by the comments of the outside world, and that the comments of the moment could neither bring her any real benefits nor open the door to the future in front of her. Seeing this, the program team realized that Zhou Lanjun had his own insistence and views, so he no longer had reservations. According to the criteria proposed by Zhou Lanjun, they began to find a qualified partner for her.
After searching extensively, the production team of the TV show finally contacted a rich second generation who fully met the criteria described by Zhou Lanjun. The meeting place for the two was arranged in a luxurious Chinese restaurant.
For this reason, Zhou Lanjun also deliberately dressed up, wearing a white lace headband and a purple gauze skirt. Accompanied by Hu Dan, the assistant of the program, she arrived at the restaurant early in the morning to wait. Once they were seated, the waiter first served a fruit platter.
Before the other party arrived, Zhou Lanjun didn't care about etiquette and began to eat watermelon with a fork. Hu Dan felt that something was wrong, so he reminded her softly. However, Zhou Lanjun immediately retorted that it would be okay to serve another plate after eating. However, when Hu Dan said, "Do you pay?" Zhou Lanjun relented.
After the rich second generation sat down and introduced themselves to each other, Zhou Lanjun immediately put forward a request to the parents of the rich second generation, and the words were so direct that it was embarrassing, but fortunately, the rich second generation was still more self-contained, and communicated with Zhou Lanjun hard, although it was gentle, but the meaning beyond the words was full of disdain. However, Zhou Lanjun was displeased with the remarks of the rich second generation of her husband and godson, and felt that the rich second generation wanted her to be a full-time wife, which limited her development space.
The rich second generation thinks that Zhou Lanjun's type of girl is really incomprehensible, this is the first time he has met such a special object since his blind date. If it weren't for the respect for the program team, he would have wanted to end this meeting a long time ago.
Seeing this, the program team could only search for other potential candidates again. Subsequently, they found a manager of the finance department of an enterprise club from Zhejiang. Although the family background is not as wealthy as before, the economic conditions are still good. When they met, Zhou Lanjun was dissatisfied with the identity of this non-rich second generation blind date, and after several rounds of conversations, the financial manager was obviously hit by Zhou Lanjun's words, so he made an excuse and left.
The failure of the two blind dates made the program team feel speechless. But when the show was broadcast, Zhou Lanjun quickly became the focus of everyone's attention and suffered various comments and criticisms. People also began to question the ethics of the program team, accusing its hype of having no bottom line.
During that time, after her video in the show was exposed, not only did her classmates stay away from her, but she was also pointed at by passers-by when she went out, and even teachers sarcastically mocked her in class. This series of experiences made Zhou Lanjun feel extremely depressed, and he was even reluctant to go out, hiding in the dormitory every day to browse online comments and begin to reflect on his behavior.
Half a month after the show was broadcast, Zhou Lanjun recontacted the program team and apologized for his previous behavior. Facing the camera, she sincerely reflected on her past misperceptions. A farce came to an end.
After that, Zhou Lanjun seemed to disappear from everyone's attention. Until December 23, 2016, she returned to the public eye through a long article titled "Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers - looking back at my past foolish behavior", in which she detailed that she was used by the group, and those remarks were guided by the program team for the sake of ratings. Moreover, the "rich second generation" who went on a blind date with Zhou Lanjun is also played by an acquaintance of the liaison officer Dandan, not the real rich second generation.
In order to pursue the improvement of ratings, the program team has no bottom line. And 10 years have passed, what kind of life does Zhou Lanjun live?
After graduating, she did not choose to stay in Zhejiang, but returned to her hometown of Xiamen, and after several years of work, Zhou Lanjun turned to entrepreneurship and eventually became the founder of an online technology company. She is still unmarried and is still looking for a life partner. However, she has grown into a more mature and steady person compared to the past.
She understands that her future is more important than the pursuit of love. She also learned that it is more reliable to rely on others than to fight on her own.
Whenever she recalls that past, Zhou Lanjun feels a little embarrassed, it was just a fantasy when she was young. Zhou Lanjun paid the price for his vanity and rashness, and has publicly apologized. However, being pushed out in front of the public to suffer insults and insults, the program team cannot shirk its responsibility. Fortunately, everything has passed, and the precipice was corrected in time.
