Zhang Jike’s Controversies Resurface

Zhang Jike has recently found himself back in the spotlight, though not for positive reasons. Many are disappointed by his downfall, lamenting the waste of his talent, especially now that he’s coaching children in Ningbo. Some speculate that if it weren’t for his gambling issues, he might still be competing.

However, gambling isn’t the only scandal he’s involved in. Zhang Jike reportedly used Jing Tian’s private photos to settle debts, and Wang Luodan was also a victim of his misdeeds. Despite attempts to revamp his image through marketing, Zhang Jike has been effectively blacklisted and struggles to trend on social media. Additionally, he continues to gamble occasionally, even taking frequent leaves when he started giving one-on-one private lessons, which upset many parents.

In his personal life, Zhang Jike and his current partner, with whom he shares a child, have yet to get married. Her family is aware that he hasn’t fully kicked his addiction. Interestingly, Zhang Jike’s current partner is the ex-wife of Bai Baihe’s current partner.

Jia Ling’s Controversial Hundred Flowers Awards Outcome

Jia Ling’s double nomination at the Hundred Flowers Awards but walking away empty-handed has stirred controversy.

Her recent sensational weight loss overshadowed her achievements, making the lack of an award less surprising.

Dou Xiao, Xi Mengyao, and the Gambling King’s Family Dynamics

Following the public display of unity among the Gambling King’s third and fourth families, curiosity has grown about Dou Xiao and Xi Mengyao. The two had once been close, moving in the same social circles, but drifted apart after aligning with different branches of the family. With the main families now reconciled, some anticipated awkwardness between them. However, such concerns seem unfounded. In the entertainment industry, people often have thick skin and are not easily embarrassed. Whether they’ve had past flirtations or relationships, mutual benefit dictates interactions, and they can still greet each other with a smile and a “long time no see.” No one feels awkward or avoids pleasantries with an ex if it serves their interests.
