In July 2011, world newspaper tycoon Murdoch was questioned by the British Parliament for the wiretapping scandal, accompanied by his wife Wendi Deng and second son James. Murdoch was halfway through the meeting when he was suddenly attacked by a strange man with foaming shave.
Murdoch panicked and his son was at a loss, but Wendi Deng, 43, bravely stood in front of her husband, decisively slapped the attacker, and snatched the bubble and smashed it against the other party.
Wendi Deng's heroic behavior in front of the public was captured by the ** at the scene and quickly spread on the Internet, winning praise from countless people, known as a chivalrous woman with unique skills, and even making many men envious of Murdoch marrying such a wife.
However, everyone thought that the couple would go on forever because Murdoch was getting old. Two years later, however, they divorced due to a mistakenly sent email.
One day in 2013, one of Murdoch's business executives received a private email from the proprietor's wife, Wendi Deng. The executive thought it was a work email, but when he opened it, he was surprised to find that it was a letter of love, full of ambiguity and extremely explicit words.
Anyone who reads it will think about it.
Initially, the senior executive thought it might be a prank, but when he looked closer, he discovered that the email was supposed to be addressed to former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, about Wendi Deng inviting him to a farm date in California's Carmel Valley.
Senior executives realized that his name was only a few letters away from Blair's, and that Wendi Deng might have made a mistake on the spur of the moment. After learning of this shocking scandal, the senior executive had lost the motivation to go to work, and after two days of deliberation, he finally told his boss Murdoch about it.
At first, Murdoch disagreed, after all, this one was his beloved wife, and the other was a good friend he had been friends for decades, but when he saw the email, his heart instantly collapsed.
The farm that Murdoch bought years ago is in the Carmel Valley, where he lived with Wendi Deng for a while, but they had to move out because of work.
The property has been vacant for many years and few people know about it. However, the appearance of this email has brought this place into the spotlight again. As a media mogul, Murdoch was acutely aware of this, and he immediately went to the farm to investigate.
Although Blair didn't arrive, he found the staff at the farm and learned the truth through intimidation: Wendi Deng and Blair often met here, and they behaved very closely, like a couple in love.
Wendi Deng and Blair have been rumored for a long time, and Murdoch has heard about it many times, but he firmly believes that the two will not betray him, and regards gossip as a malicious attack. However, with the facts in front of him, Murdoch still can't believe that his trusted good brother would really do it to his friend's wife shamelessly.
Blair, born in 1953, is 22 years younger than Murdoch, which is the age gap between son and father. By the time Blair entered politics, Murdoch had already dominated the media industry, and the two barely crossed paths.
It wasn't until a bilateral meeting in 1995, when Blair traveled to Australia with representatives of the British Labour Party, that he met Murdoch.
Murdoch has built his own media empire and wants to expand his territory even further. He found Blair among many delegates and spoke with him at cocktail parties. He found Blair to be a pragmatist, making utilitarian choices based on facts.
If Blair can take power in Britain**, it will undoubtedly propel Murdoch's career to new heights. Murdoch began to associate with Blair, who was also very happy to work with the "media king".
They soon became year-old friends who talked about everything. Their "emotional investment" soon paid off, and when Blair ran for prime minister in 1997, neither the British public nor party elders were optimistic about the politician, who had just turned 40.
His polls were very bad, but at this time, his good brother Murdoch stepped up.
Murdoch's "Sun" successfully manipulated public opinion by constantly building momentum for Blair, so that Blair's approval rating increased rapidly in a short period of time, and finally won the prime minister's position in **.
It was a win-win situation, and Blair reciprocated Murdoch's help, which also reaped many benefits from Blair. Over the next few years, the two joined forces to control six of the UK's most widely circulated newspapers, influencing half of the electorate.
Although Murdoch and Blair disagreed on some issues, they embraced pragmatism and did not affect their relationship because of disagreements, let alone deliberately hurt each other.
Murdoch was convinced of this, so he was hopeful that his wife and brother would have a private meeting.
After his wife left the company, Murdoch hired professionals to conduct an in-depth investigation. Soon after, ironclad evidence about Wendi Deng's extramarital affair began to surface, making him no longer suspicious.
In terms of testimony, several servants testified that they saw Blair enter Wendi Deng's bedroom, and that they closed the door tightly and came out after a long time; In terms of physical evidence, investigators found praise for her husband's sexual organs in Wendi Deng's diary.
According to the information gathered, as early as the wedding of Murdoch and Wendi Deng, Blair was attracted by the charming smile of her husband and wife, and the other party also hinted at the ambiguity to him.
In the many subsequent gatherings, the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, and Wendi Deng always used the excuse of getting together with his girlfriends to create opportunities for Blair to be alone.
Murdoch's anger was uncontrollable, and the evidence in his hands prompted him to file for divorce from his wife. As early as the beginning of their relationship, the friends around them had already foreseen this outcome.
Someone once warned Murdoch: "Deng is a woman with magical powers, you should leave her as soon as possible, or you will be devoured by her." However, the confident Murdoch did not heed this advice, and even the hunter, who had played falconry all his life, was eventually pecked blind by the eagle.
Wendi Deng is an authentic Chinese girl, but she clearly lacks the virtues of traditional Chinese women, which may be attributed to her family of origin.
It is said that Wendi Deng's parents and family have a patriarchal mentality, so she has to rely on her own efforts to live since she was a child. In 1984, Wendi Deng entered Guangzhou Medical College, and at the forefront of reform and opening up, she experienced the joys of material life and consumerism, so she made up her mind to go to a developed capitalist country to satisfy her growing desires.
With her excellent social skills and affinity, Wendi Deng successfully attracted the affection of a couple from the United States. She took advantage of this opportunity to come to the United States in the name of exchange study, and after several years of hard work, she managed to gain the love of Mr. Cherry, and married him, getting the coveted American green card.
In the process, she showed great purpose and determination. However, when she got her footing, she decisively dumped Mr. Cherry and started a new chapter in her life.
In 1996, she graduated from Yale Business School and set her sights in Hong Kong. Although her methods have been criticized as cunning and vicious, she has undoubtedly shown her ingenuity and determination to succeed in achieving her dreams.
As the "97th Return Day" approached, Wendi Deng had a unique vision and saw the business opportunities in Hong Kong and Chinese mainland. She has a unique way of doing things, even if she is still unknown, she knows how to see the journey as an investment, and the people who choose first class are strong social candidates, and she can take the opportunity to expand her network.
Sure enough, she met Bruce, an executive of the Murdoch Group, on the plane, and the two hit it off. After arriving at her destination, Bruce invited Wendi Deng to come to the group for an interview, so that she had the opportunity to meet Murdoch.
Wendi Deng, a brilliant working woman, has caught the attention of media mogul Murdoch with her outstanding work performance. She first became Murdoch's Chinese translator and was soon promoted to personal assistant.
Wendi Deng once again attracted Murdoch's attention with her charm, which made Murdoch deeply attracted to her. Like Cherry, Murdoch abandoned his wife who had been with him for many years and married Wendi Deng in 1999.
At that time, Murdoch was 68 years old, and Wendi Deng was 31 years old. However, Murdoch was not an idle man, he knew Wendi Deng's past, so he made strict agreements before marriage.
The agreement stipulates that once Murdoch dies, Wendi Deng will not be able to get much inheritance. It was a tough test, but Wendi Deng successfully passed the test with her talent and courage.
She did not hesitate to sign her name to the agreement and said that her feelings for Murdoch were not based on money. This surprised and even touched Murdoch.
Murdoch developed prostate cancer and was unable to have children. For this reason, Wendi Deng decided to freeze her husband's sperm, adopted embryo transfer technology, that is, IVF, and successfully gave birth to two daughters.
In this way, she has an important advantage in the future war for her inheritance. Wendi Deng always has a clear purpose in doing things, and her personal and social skills match her ambitions, which makes up for her lack of appearance.
Her social circle is wide-ranging, including national dignitaries, entertainment stars, and even Trump's daughter Ivanka, who is said to have been influenced by studying Chinese. Wendi Deng's charm is obviously enough to attract all kinds of people, and her magic can indeed confuse everyone.
Murdoch's marriage to Wendi Deng lasted 14 years, and Wendi Deng was his good wife. If it weren't for the accidental mailgate, they might have been going all the way. After the divorce, Murdoch admitted that he lived in pain every day, which shows that he has deep feelings for Wendi Deng.
And Wendi Deng behaved more freely, she did not resent Murdoch because of the divorce, and even hoped that they could remain friends. After the divorce verdict, Wendi Deng kissed Murdoch and said "thank you" to him.
Murdoch remarried in 2016, and Wendi Deng also generously let his two daughters be his bridesmaids. And she herself has a close relationship with a post-90s little fresh meat.
Some speculate that this divorce farce may have been orchestrated by the "witch". Because Wendi Deng did not inherit much from Murdoch, but through divorce, she may be able to obtain a lot of wealth with the help of the minor custody of her two daughters.
The speculation was not unfounded, and according to the original investigators, Wendi Deng and Blair's private emails were 300 pages long, but many were sent after Murdoch filed for divorce.
After the divorce settlement was reached, Deng not only received $14 million in cash and a large number of antique luxuries, but also owned a courtyard house in Beijing and a mansion in New York.
In 2019, after Fox was acquired by Disney, Wendi Deng received $4 billion from a $71 billion deal with the help of his two daughters. Who can say that all this is not the result of Wendi Deng's careful design?
Blair's situation is much worse. After the Mailgate scandal, Murdoch stopped all funding for him and publicly stated that anyone who funded him again would be working against him, a media mogul.
Over the years, Blair has not had a good time, and he has often been attacked by **. In 2022, when he was awarded the title of knighthood, there were once again calls for his honor to be revoked.
Behind all this, is Murdoch behind the scenes? "A friend's wife should not be bullied", it seems that this is a wise saying not only in China, but also in the world.
