In a popular blind date show in 2014, Zhou Lanjun became the focus of public attention because of her firm and controversial mate selection criteria.
She firmly believes that only the rich second generation with a net worth of more than 50 million can match her, otherwise her beauty, figure, morality and even soul will face the risk of "destruction".
Now, after many years, what is the current situation of this female college student who has caused widespread discussion in society? Has she found her ideal partner and fulfilled her "dream"?
It is understood that Zhou Lanjun has indeed received a lot of attention and pursuit for a period of time after the show was broadcast. She was not in a hurry to enter the marriage hall, but chose to continue her studies to improve her comprehensive quality and ability.
She understands that true happiness and security do not depend on the wealth and status of others, but on their own growth and strength.
Although Zhou Lanjun did not realize her original dream of "not marrying the second generation of 50 million rich people", she proved with her practical actions that happiness and success are not achieved by marrying well.
On the contrary, only by constantly improving oneself and striving to pursue one's dreams can one truly achieve inner satisfaction and happiness.
In 2014, when blind date variety shows swept the TV screen and became a hot topic of discussion among men, women and children after dinner, the show "Blind Date Will Win" stood out among them.
This is not only because it has successfully built a bridge for many single men and women to meet, but also because of the "distinctive" remarks of some of the guests.
Zhou Lanjun is one of the "special" guests. When signing up, she attracted the attention of the program team with her short and strict mate selection criteria of the words "marrying into a wealthy family".
And when she was invited to the program group, when faced with the staff's inquiry, she said without hesitation: "I only marry the rich second generation, and I don't marry the second generation of the 50 million rich!" Her firmness and self-confidence made everyone present look sideways.
When asked why there are such criteria for choosing a mate, Zhou Lanjun's answer was even more unexpected. She believes that on her own terms, if she does not marry the rich second generation, then her appearance, figure, morality, character and even soul will face the risk of "destruction".
Such remarks undoubtedly shocked and curious the staff present.
When the staff learned more about Zhou Lanjun's situation, they found that her family was not prominent, her father worked in a state-owned enterprise, her mother was unemployed, and the whole family depended on her father's income to make ends meet.
Although she herself studied at Zhejiang Gongshang University and has a certain understanding of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, her appearance is not particularly outstanding. Such conditions are obviously not far from the rich second generation who earn tens of millions of dollars a year.
Despite this, Zhou Lanjun is still confident in her mate selection criteria. She considers herself to have an independent personality and mind, which is her "strength".
She even consulted on a blind date**, and the answer she got was that according to her conditions, she would definitely be able to marry a rich second generation worth tens of millions. Therefore, she firmly believes that her standards are not high, but they are very suitable for herself.
In the face of Zhou Lanjun's persistence and self-confidence, although the staff was a little helpless, they still began to look for a blind date for her according to her requirements.
They understand that everyone has their own dreams and pursuits, even if those dreams seem somewhat out of reach. And Zhou Lanjun's dream is to marry a rich second generation worth 50 million.
After the efforts of the program team, a rich second generation with a net worth of more than 100 million yuan was contacted and accepted the arrangement of a blind date with Zhou Lanjun.
Zhou Lanjun had high expectations for this blind date, and she came to the agreed hotel early, wearing a purple dress, showing her elegant temperament.
While waiting for the man, she seemed a little too excited, and began to taste the fruit platter on the table by herself. Seeing this, the host couldn't help but softly remind Zhou Lanjun to pay attention to his image, but Zhou Lanjun didn't seem to take it to heart.
Finally, when Zhou Lanjun was about to finish eating a plate of fruit, the rich second-generation man was late. Despite some embarrassment, the two began a formal blind date exchange.
At first, the conversation between the two was quite speculative, but when Zhou Lanjun mentioned the requirements for his future in-laws, the man's face suddenly became a little ugly.
Zhou Lanjun hopes that the man's parents can distinguish between right and wrong, tolerate their daughter-in-law, and have good moral character and pragmatic attitude.
These requirements are obviously a bit too high for the man, and he did not directly respond to Zhou Lanjun's words, but instead asked her about her vision of married life.
Zhou Lanjun confidently said that he would help the man run the industry to make money, and at the same time leave the child in the care of his parents. This answer surprised the man, who obviously did not agree with Zhou Lanjun's idea.
The man believes that he prefers to find a woman who can take care of the family and children wholeheartedly, rather than a strong woman who is overly ambitious.
In order to alleviate the awkward atmosphere, the man tried to ask Zhou Lanjun if he had any other skills or hobbies. However, Zhou Lanjun's answer disappointed the man again.
She said that although she is not very proficient in skills such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she can learn slowly after having sufficient financial conditions. The man couldn't help laughing, and replied embarrassedly: "Is it difficult to register for a class for you?" ”
Due to the huge difference in the concepts of the two, this blind date ended up unhappily. Zhou Lanjun did not give up his idea because of this.
She firmly believes that her criteria for choosing a mate are correct, and she believes that this blind date failure is not her problem. She even said that if the program team can't help her find a suitable partner, she will continue to look for it through other channels.
At Zhou Lanjun's insistence, the program team arranged another blind date for her. Although the blind date object this time is not worth 50 million, he is young and promising and has a successful career.
When talking about the plan for the future, Zhou Lanjun once again said amazingly. She said that she has the wisdom and diligence that is not inferior to popular female stars, and wants to develop on the road to stardom. This remark made everyone present feel very embarrassed.
Although the man tried to understand and support Zhou Lanjun's ideas, and even said that he could help her develop in the film and television industry, Zhou Lanjun provoked a thorn in the man's education and family background.
She thinks that the man is not the real rich second generation, so he can't meet her requirements. Listening to Zhou Lanjun's words becoming more and more sharp, the host couldn't help but persuade him bluntly, but Zhou Lanjun still went his own way.
In the end, this blind date also ended in failure. Zhou Lanjun was not discouraged by this. She said that she will continue to stick to her ideas and try to find a partner who meets her requirements.
After this blind date show was broadcast, Zhou Lanjun's remarks and behaviors quickly caused heated discussions on the Internet.
Many netizens criticized her concept of "money worship", believing that her ideas were too materialistic and utilitarian. At the same time, some netizens questioned that this was a hype method of the program team, deliberately creating topics in order to attract attention.
In the face of doubts and criticism, the program team responded quickly and posted communication records with Zhou Lanjun and other evidence, proving that her remarks and behaviors were true and not hyped by the program team.
The program team also pointed out that there are many misunderstandings in Zhou Lanjun's ideas, and hopes that the broadcast of the program can trigger a discussion in the society about the correct view of marriage and love.
Zhou Lanjun's "money worship" label has had a great impact on her life. At school, she became the focus of everyone's discussion, and even suffered some strange eyes and ostracism.
After graduating, her job search path was also repeatedly frustrated, and many companies rejected her resume because of her label. Under tremendous pressure, Zhou Lanjun chose to apologize, admitted that his remarks were inappropriate, and said that he would reflect and correct them.
Although some netizens didn't buy her apology, as time went by, the heat of the matter gradually decreased, and her life slowly returned to peace.
It is worth mentioning that Zhou Lanjun did not give up his dreams and pursuits. She chose to start a business and build a career through her own efforts.
She studied while working, obtained many vocational certificates, and constantly improved her ability and quality. Eventually, she successfully founded a network technology company and realized her career dream.
Today's Zhou Lanjun is over 30 years old, and although she is still single, she has a new understanding and pursuit of life. She let go of her past obsessions and prejudices and began to enjoy the beauty and colorfulness of life.
She often updates her personal account, shares her hobbies and life details, and interacts with netizens. Her skills in tea art, painting, archery, and cooking have also been recognized and appreciated by everyone.
After experiencing the tempering and baptism of society, Zhou Lanjun has become more mature and wise. She understands that success achieved by not working hard is unstable, and only down-to-earth efforts can make herself survive the storms for a long time.
She also proved this with her own practical actions and won everyone's respect and recognition.
