Gree annual meeting lines caused heated discussion. Dong Mingzhu once expressed that she was annoyed by employees who praised her.

Recently, Gree employees used lines such as "My mother is Dong Mingzhu" and "My mother likes Dong Mingzhu the most" during a performance at the annual meeting, sparking heated discussions.In response, Gree officially responded that the performer made a small joke in order to increase the humorous atmosphere. Previously, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview with CCTV Finance's "Dialogue" column: "Our employees, I don't like them saying nice things in front of me. You should be very straightforward when you talk to me. If you have any questions, come up immediately and don't waste time. You don't dare to tell the truth. There is no way for me to trust you."

When the host asked if she was particularly bothered by people who praise her every day, Dong Mingzhu said: "Yes, as soon as I told him, Mr. Dong, we are absolutely loyal to the company. If he said this before talking to me about the problem, I basically started to give him half a score."
