Has Wang Shi fallen into the hands of Tian Pujun?

First of all, "big shot" usually refers to someone in the business world, which doesn't mean he's "seen through people" in romantic relationships or particularly perceptive. It's like someone getting into Tsinghua University doesn't mean they have the ability to make money in society—that's the same logic. Dealing with romantic relationships is a different matter altogether; whether he handles it well or not has nothing to do with whether he's a "hero" in business or a "big shot." The Yellow Hair and Teacher Tony might have very low recognition elsewhere, but perhaps they are very good at managing these relationships.

Some say Wang Shi has no real ability, relying on eating soft rice and starting out with his father-in-law, so it's normal for him to be deceived by women. I don't quite agree. There are many people with access to high-level resources, but not everyone can pull off such a big move. Wang Shi was able to stand on the same level as Liu Chuanzhi and Jack Ma, which definitely indicates his business talent. As for whether his talent is top-tier? That's subjective. You can't just say he was relying on soft rice because he's not doing well now.

So why did Wang Shi fall for Tian Pujun? It's simple—Tian Pujun was proactive enough. You might think that a big shot like Wang Shi wouldn't lack women, so he's hard to approach. You're wrong—there aren't many opportunities to get close to him, and most are "formal occasions" where the conversation is about serious business, so chances are limited. But once there's a private social opportunity, as long as you're proactive enough, and if your conditions aren't too bad—like being a minor celebrity or model—the chances of winning are much higher than you think.

Why do other more famous female celebrities not manage to get close to big shots? Is it because they don't want to? Not really, some do think about it. But if you're already Yang Mi, Qin Lan, Fan Bingbing, can you still be naive? You definitely have to keep a proper attitude. Wang Shi is clearly passive—if you're stunning, even then, if you're not proactive enough, you're just average. Tomorrow, if there's other important work, no one will remember whether you're a fairy or not—it's not about being a fairy.

Tian Pujun is just in the middle. Compared to big-name actresses, she has almost nothing. So her desire from 0 to 1 is very strong, with a clear motivation. Her qualities aren't high, but she's not a complete amateur either—she has some fame, enough to meet the threshold. Once she's proactive, it works.

This is the real situation, not some story about men being lecherous, or that rich men marry female celebrities, or that Wang Shi is ungrateful. It's very simple—she's passive, she's just taking a chance, and Wang Shi is also at a certain age and status, having fought all his life, and feeling like he doesn't care anymore. Why not enjoy a few more years? Tian Pujun is also quite scheming—she deliberately acts a bit silly in the media, like pretending to be a clumsy "braised pork," which led to their current situation.

Does this mean all big shots in Wang Shi's position would develop like this? Maybe initially, but in handling things afterward, there could be differences. For example, when Tian Pujun made her "clumsy braised pork" comment, most big shots would definitely think "this woman can't be kept"—meaning it could be a transaction, but not in a way that clearly elevates her or harms the other party's interests without permission. This is called "uncontrollable." Wang Shi at the time accepted it, which shows he's relatively simple in romantic matters—he's not lecherous. Otherwise, he would have known how to handle such relationships long ago. Because he's like that, it ultimately led to today's outcome.

In my previous articles, I described Wang Shi as a "literary youth"—if you understand this term, you get it; if not, no matter how much I explain, you won't. It's similar to idealistic pretenders on Douban. He must be someone with relatively high moral standards—note, that doesn't mean divorcing to marry a celebrity indicates low morality. His moral standard is definitely higher than Tian Pujun's, even higher than most ordinary people, because he cares a lot about how others evaluate him. He's just encountered someone like Tian Pujun who doesn't know how to handle romantic relationships and can't bring himself to hurt her with harsh words—he'd rather just let it go, sacrificing his reputation, but can't simply abandon her. This is precisely his deeply ingrained moral mindset at work.

In contrast, many say Duan Yongping is more sophisticated than him. Yes, Duan Yongping is more perceptive—at least in knowing what to do and judging what matters most at certain times. If, hypothetically, Duan Yongping had met Tian Pujun, he might have had a fleeting affair, but when she started acting up, he would definitely cut her off—delete and block her immediately, with no follow-up, I’m sure of it.

So, do you think Wang Shi's current situation means he's suffered a big loss? Actually, Wang Shi just isn't very good at handling romantic relationships, plus he has moral constraints, but that doesn't mean he's completely naive. He understands asset separation—he would never mix his personal assets with Tian Pujun's. All he can do is accept "helping Tian Pujun rise"—that's the entire transaction. Just like Tian Pujun said he "loves himself more than he loves her," Wang Shi admits it too. But that's normal—does Tian Pujun love Wang Shi more than she loves herself? That's why she’s been squeezing him for fame—if he doesn't give her money, she has no choice but to ride on his fame to get ahead.

Why does Wang Shi accept this? Because in other aspects, he doesn't give anything—so what is she after, being with a 70-year-old? Not even his career resources? Not even his fame?

So, this is an inevitable outcome. But why is Wang Shi so exploited and ridiculed? Because his own career has stagnated, so his fame and resources are diminishing. If he were still on the rise, Tian Pujun's way of riding would not be enough to exhaust his resources—resources would still be plentiful, and everyone would be happy. It’s not that entrepreneurs marrying internet celebrities lead to decline—like Liu Qiangdong, whose resources are endless, and Zhang Zetian can meet his needs, living peacefully. The core is that he's still progressing, but Wang Shi doesn't realize he's only left with "stock"—and stock decreases over time, exponentially.

People are complex. From their words and actions, I can see Wang Shi is a person with heavy moral constraints and a bit of a sour taste—this isn't something that can be shifted just because he's divorced and married a celebrity. Tian Pujun, on the other hand, is not very smart. I don't see her capable of achieving anything beyond managing men like Wang Shi.
