She could not tolerate such people in Gree, so she was fired."Subsequently, the topic of "Dong Mingzhu angrily denounced Meng Yutong" aroused heated discussion.
A few days ago, Dong Mingzhu talked about Meng Yutong again in a live broadcast. Faced with the doubts that she had used the wrong person and had problems with her eyesight, Dong Mingzhu said,It's not like she misjudged the wrong person, nor did she choose the wrong person. It was her own choice. She chose her own path in life, and she is responsible for herself if she chooses the wrong one. Of course, everyone's ideas are different.
It is understood that in April 2021, Dong Mingzhu joined the variety show "We Are New in the Workplace". In the show, Meng Yutong, an undergraduate at Zhejiang University, was appreciated by Dong Mingzhu, and was eventually promoted from an intern to the chairman's secretary.

Dong Mingzhu thinks about this,It’s not just about cultivating Meng Yutong as an Internet celebrity. To become a manager, one must experience all aspects.
It is worth noting that Meng Yutong once posted on Weibo in April saying, "Work clock in for 21 hours", "The limit of a person is to be constantly challenged", "Who hasn't had a complete weekend for two months", "Working more than 20 hours this weekend", etc. However, the Weibo content is currently unavailable.
In May, Meng Yutong posted another post on Weibo saying: My life creed - it is better to rely on others than to rely on yourself. However, it was deleted the next day. Meng Yutong said, "I just posted it based on my feelings, and I didn't mean to say anything about the company at all."
Subsequently, it was revealed that Meng Yutong was "fired" for violating company discipline. At that time, Gree said,During her time at the company, Meng Yutong "often missed work to participate in business activities and take on private work." Even after the company talked to her, Meng Yutong still did not improve and related activities were still going on.
