Zhang said he did not have many expectations for his daughter. He only wanted her to come home to eat with her parents regularly when she reached adulthood and to take care of them in their old age. If she could do that, he would always help her have a smooth and successful career.

Although Zhang Xuefeng publicly announced that he had a daughter, all other information and images of her were kept secret.

Zhang’s statement about his career guidance for his daughter is controversial, as many people think that Zhang shows an arrogant attitude and a pragmatic mindset. However, many people also think that Zhang is very honest and straightforward, he is just telling the truth, but that truth makes many people find it difficult to accept.

"He's just stating the facts. Reality is always harsh. Zhang speaks from the perspective of a career counselor, and at the same time, the very real calculations of a father who is worried about his child," a netizen commented.

On Chinese social networks, Zhang Xuefeng (born in 1984) has tens of millions of followers, he is considered a master of university application consulting. Zhang is the one who created a new job in the education sector in China, which is the profession of university application consulting.

Students facing the college entrance exam who want to use Zhang’s career counseling service must pay a fee of 12,000-17,000 yuan (equivalent to 42-60 million VND). Zhang’s service has become so popular that he no longer directly advises candidates. Zhang is now supported by a team of consultants.

Currently, there are parents who have registered several years in advance so that their children can definitely use the service provided by Zhang in the future.

"I have three companies, each of which is publicly valued at several hundred million yuan. Every year, I earn hundreds of thousands of yuan from copyrights for educational books, millions of yuan from tutoring classes, and a large sum from university admissions consulting services. You won't see me directly involved in the work anymore, because I've long been financially free," Zhang said.

In China, there are currently more than 1,600 companies operating in the field of consulting and supporting candidates to apply to universities. Zhang is the leader in this field.

The idea for the service business came to Zhang when he was helping some friends apply for graduate programs. While helping his friends collect study materials and prepare their applications, Zhang came up with the idea of ​​providing study and application consulting services to university entrance exam candidates.

In 2016, Zhang started producing videos sharing his tips on choosing majors at top universities in China. These contents quickly went viral and made him famous.

Applying to universities in China takes into account the candidate's grades, entrance scores at the schools and future career prospects. Zhang's motto when providing consulting services is: "Good college entrance exam scores are not as good as good application strategies."

Although he is considered a leading figure in the field of admissions consulting, Zhang has also caused controversy because of his statements. Zhang once publicly advised students not to apply to some universities. Zhang later had to apologize to these schools.

Last year, Zhang was criticized by many education experts for his disrespectful comments about some training groups. However, many parents in China welcomed Zhang's frank and direct comments about the real prospects of some training fields.
