A well-known education influencer in China has sparked controversy by suggesting he would deposit hundreds of millions of yuan into the bank where his daughter gets a job to help support her career.
Zhang Xuefeng, who has more than 26.5 million followers on a major social media platform, ignited controversy online over his bold statements about using his funds to pave his daughter’s career path.
During a live streaming session, Zhang, who is recognised for advising parents on selecting majors for their children said.
“If my daughter does not excel academically, I will have her randomly earn a simple bachelor’s degree and then secure a job for her at a bank.
“The reason is straightforward. I run two companies each with more than a hundred million yuan (US$14 million) in savings. I will deposit my money in whichever bank she works for.”
