Yesterday, Dong Mingzhu mentioned the former secretary Meng Yutong again at the induction ceremony of the 2023 college students of Gree Electric.
For this former secretary selected from a workplace variety show, Dong Mingzhu showed no mercy, and the topic of "Dong Mingzhu angrily reprimanded Meng Yutong" instantly became the first hot search.
According to **, when mentioning Meng Yutong, Dong Mingzhu said:
In fact, after a few months of Xi, she (Meng Yutong) was the only one, and one of the 9 people chose to stay and keep her. At that time, I saw that she was very hardworking, and I wanted her to grow up, so I said you stay with me as a secretary.Subsequently, Dong Mingzhu said: "When a secretary can't even write a document, I don't know what secretary is." "And becoming an Internet celebrity with the help of our platform has played a bad role in the company, and we can't tolerate such a person in Gree Electric, so we fired her.
You must know that this is also the first time that Gree and Dong Mingzhu have publicly stated that Meng Yutong was expelled by Gree since Meng Yutong left in May this year. Subsequently, Dong Mingzhu said in his speech:
Of course, everyone thinks that she is also worth the money, and she has a lot of so-called fans when she comes to the brand Gree, but what's the use?You're just making a little more money today, so I think this kind of walking corpse makes no difference, what if you have money. I think money is a must, but it's not the pursuit of our dreams, it's the result of our struggle.Today, I'm going to take a look at how Dong Mingzhu and Meng Yutong evolved from a domineering president and her sweet secretary workplace story to today's "evil" situation.
The fate of Dong Mingzhu and Meng Yutong comes from a workplace reality show "We Are New to the Workplace". At that time, Meng Yutong, who was about to graduate from college, passed through layers of screening, and like the other 8 people, he got the opportunity to Xi "Workplace" and was able to enter the front of Dong Mingzhu, the boss.
In this program, compared with other contestants, Meng Yutong's resume and ability from the School of Foreign Chinese of Zhejiang University are not outstanding, but her confident self-presentation during the interview left a deep impression on Dong Mingzhu.
In the first Xi assessment, the plan issued by Meng Yutong was completely denied by Dong Mingzhu and got the penultimate dismal score.
However, the characteristics that Meng Yutong showed in the show afterwards are very consistent with the character and style of Dong Mingzhu, a strong woman, and Dong Mingzhu appreciates it very much.
She unabashedly said in the show that Meng Yutong has the energy of her youth.
I agree with her quality, and I hope that the best people in the future of the company can be people like her.
After the show ended, Dong Mingzhu really left Meng Yutong alone from the 9 outstanding young people. Dong Mingzhu asked her to be her secretary, and said in a high-profile manner that she would personally cultivate this young man with unlimited potential according to the standard of "Gree ** person". At that time, Meng Yutong's office was placed next to Dong Mingzhu, which shows the high standard.
At that time, the topic of Dong Mingzhu and Meng Yutong as a working woman was very hot, and Dong Mingzhu would take Meng Yutong as a "** person" wherever he went. Even, at the China Manufacturing Leaders Summit held in October 2021, Dong Mingzhu released a bold statement of "cultivating Meng Yutong as the second Dong Mingzhu".
At that time, Gree was attacking the new format of live broadcasting, and Dong Mingzhu, the chairman, had also personally broadcast live several times to stand on the platform for Gree Electric Appliances. Dong Mingzhu signed Meng Yutong, a newcomer in the workplace, and there are many speculations that he is going to create IP and engage in live broadcast to bring goods.
The follow-up results also showed that those who guessed the live broadcast with goods were all in the same sentence.
Later, with participating in variety shows and joining Gree, Meng Yutong herself accumulated a certain number of fans, and her updated vlog of working in Gree was also very popular, often on the hot list, and soon accumulated more than one million fans. Seeing that the time was ripe, Gree quickly launched the live broadcast account of "Pearl Feather Boy Selection", and completed the original accumulation of fans in a short period of time.
may be due to the category of goods in the "Pearl Feather Boy Selection" live broadcast room, although the popularity of fans of this account is quite high, the live broadcast volume is not outstanding, and even compared with other live broadcast rooms, it can be described as dismal sales.
Compared with the dismal sales of Gree's live broadcast room, Meng Yutong's personal IP has gathered a lot of traffic, and his ** works are often out of the circle, and Meng Yutong has also become a role model for many college students and working women, and has become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner. On the contrary, not many people care about Gree's sales and turnover.
Later, sharp-eyed netizens found that Meng Yutong was changing from the identity of "chairman **" to "full-time anchor with goods", and the situation changed faster than everyone imagined. Dong Mingzhu explained to the outside world:
I wanted to train her, but she later felt that she liked to do what she loved, so I said you should go to the live broadcast to experience it first.From the "chairman ** person" to the professional anchor, in the eyes of normal people, it is undoubtedly a kind of **. Meng Yutong once shared in her own ** that after joining Gree Electric Appliances, as Dong Mingzhu's secretary, her work can be roughly divided into five parts: administration, reception, activities, docking between e-commerce and marketing departments, and business trips.
Meng Yutong once said that in the position of Dong Mingzhu's secretary, the workload is very large, and it is common to work overtime and stay up all night, which is very challenging. Later, when he stepped down from the position of secretary and rotated to the marketing department to engage in live broadcasting, Meng Yutong admitted frankly that he didn't like live broadcast very much, but he was still very surprised when he saw sales.
Meng Yutong also said that his salary in Gree is not high, and it is not bad with other college students who joined Gree in the same year, with a salary of 5,000-10,000 yuan. At that time, the topic of "Meng Yutong's monthly salary is not more than 10,000 yuan" also appeared on the hot search.
Looking at the scenery in the eyes of outsiders, in fact, only he knows the hardships behind him.
The good times did not last long, and Meng Yutong officially left Gree in May this year. Gree's "** person" resigned, and the truth was that he was "fired".
Meng Yutong's breakup with Gree was a bit abrupt. First, Gree deleted Meng Yutong's **, and the name of the avatar and the live broadcast room was modified. Meng Yutong then posted on his personal Weibo with emotion: "Relying on others is never as good as relying on yourself."
Subsequently, Gree officially responded that Meng Yutong had indeed resigned, saying that her resignation was a "normal flow of personnel". Subsequently, there was ** in an interview with the employees of the Gree marketing department:
During Meng Yutong's time in Gree, he was often absent from work to participate in business activities and take on private work, and the abnormal attendance rate was very high.The resignation of Gree's "** person" is not a normal resignation and personnel flow, and the truth is that he was "fired for serious violations of the company's rules and regulations". Although Gree did not indicate from the official face that the truth of Meng Yutong's resignation was "being fired for personal work", under the instruction of the high-level, the real reason for Meng Yutong's resignation was released through the small channel, which really hammered Meng Yutong's lack of professionalism and dedication. also blocked the door for Meng Yutong's follow-up entry into other well-known companies to a certain extent, and failed to get together and disperse.
Although the real reason for Meng Yutong's resignation was exposed, the breakup between Meng Yutong and Dong Mingzhu was decent. Meng Yutong didn't say anything bad about Gree after he left his job, and he concentrated on being a fashion and grass blogger, and made a lot of money as an Internet celebrity receiving business ordersDong Mingzhu has never said in public that Meng Yutong is not.
I thought that the two sides had "broken up peacefully", but I didn't expect Sister Dong to come with two boomerangs.
In November this year, Dong Mingzhu responded in an interview with "Caijing Langyan", saying, "Internet celebrities don't look at the quality of people, and it is not compliant for people to advertise outside in Gree." In the program, Dong Mingzhu also responded to the discussion about ** people.
Unexpectedly, only a month has passed, Dong Mingzhu fired again, and directly publicly reprimanded Gree at the university:When an Internet celebrity deviates from his dream, he is like a walking corpse, it is nothing more than making a little more money today, there is no difference, what if he is rich.
Half a year has passed, Dong Mingzhu did not hesitate to reprimand Meng Yutong again, and there were three main reasons why Meng Yutong did not let go:
Dong Mingzhu's acquaintance is unknown. Dong Mingzhu hastily accepted Meng Yutong as the chairman's secretary just because she is also a woman, and the characteristics of Meng Yutong, a little girl, in the show match Dong Mingzhu's aura, and she also made a bold statement to train Meng Yutong as a "Gree ** person". As a result, there was a joke in the corporate boss circle.
Rally. Dong Mingzhu was angry at Meng Yutong when he spoke at the Gree New Employee Induction Conference, and one of the most important intentions was to deter new employees.
Dong Mingzhu did not control Meng Yutong's IP. Dong Mingzhu is from a traditional enterprise, and Gree has not been in the live broadcast industry for a long time, Dong Mingzhu has little experience in new Internet gameplay, and has lost control of the IP of Meng Yutong, which he has single-handedly supported, and Dong Mingzhu is worried about this.
In general, I think that Meng Yutong's dismissal for taking private work is indeed against professional ethics and violates the rules and regulations of the enterprise, and he deserves it.
However, I don't agree with Dong Mingzhu's statement that being an Internet celebrity is like a walking corpse. It is normal for young people to pursue money, after all, young people are under a lot of pressure in their material lives, and they can't eat enough on the pie alone. Meng Yutong took advantage of the peak period of traffic and popularity, seized the opportunity to cash in, and after earning enough money, it would also work to study abroad or go to graduate school to chase his dreams.
Whether to accumulate ability and experience first, or to make money first, is only a choice that a small number of young talents with a choice have the opportunity to face. If you think about it carefully, I have accumulated so much ability, experience and how many lessons I have learned, and the ultimate goal is to return to making money. Then I chose to make enough money first, and then accumulate experience and lessons, and there is nothing wrong with that.
