Meng Yutong, known as Dong Mingzhu's ** person, has changed careers to become an Internet celebrity?
Recently, the scale of Meng Yutong is quite large, showing a bewitching demeanor.
However, last year's Meng Yutong was still a shrewd and capable young man who was full of expectations for his work.
Meng Yutong was revealed not long ago that he had left Gree. The story between her and Dong Mingzhu, chairman of Gree, has come to naught.
Meng Yutong has changed from the identity of "Gree ** person" to "Internet celebrity with goods", what kind of changes has he undergone?
What started as a "harmonious breakup" after leaving the company has turned into a mess, and who is to blame for this dispute?
Their story comes from a variety show.
Meng Yutong, a graduate of Zhejiang University, participated in the reality show "We in the Workplace" in 2021, and this variety show happened to be recorded at the headquarters of Gree Electric Appliances Company.
As a new Xi, Meng Yutong won Dong Mingzhu's appreciation for his outstanding work ability and eye-catching performance. She successfully got the opportunity to become a regular in July, and directly became Dong Mingzhu's personal secretary after joining the company, which was particularly favored.
Meng Yutong's ability has been highly recognized by Dong Mingzhu, Dong Mingzhu vigorously cultivated her, and publicly said: "I hope she will always be by my side, and I want to train her to become another Dong Mingzhu." ”
This remark caused a shock among many netizens.
Dong Mingzhu is the chairman of Gree Group, and as the queen of business, she is worth 7 billion.
Is she hinting at cultivating Meng Yutong to become the "second Dong Mingzhu" to ensure the company's successor?
Dong Mingzhu's words successfully pushed Meng Yutong into the public eye.
Meng Yutong has received widespread attention because she is known as "Gree Future", and she has become an Internet celebrity from an ordinary college graduate, which has provided a huge boost to her future development.
Dong Mingzhu let Meng Yutong enter Gree and work with her, which is undoubtedly an opportunity that many people dream of.
Gree Company's inclination of resources towards Meng Yutong is essentially a great importance to him.
At that time, it was the trend of live broadcasting, and Meng Yutong's popularity gradually increased with his good looks and high education. Under the guidance of Dong Mingzhu, a recognized marketing master, Gree has launched a comprehensive marketing campaign through multiple platforms such as Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Weibo. In just one year, Meng Yutong's number of fans has reached 5 million, and he has successfully become a well-known Internet celebrity.
The names of the two founders created the Douyin account "Pearl Yutong Selection" of Gree's company to cater to the tastes of young people, and with the help of Meng Yutong, who is popular, good-looking and highly educated, to promote products in the live broadcast room.
In just two hours, she successfully brought more than 600,000 sales growth to Gree and opened up the commercial market for young people. It can be said that Dong Mingzhu and Meng Yutong have truly achieved a win-win situation at this time.
Dong Mingzhu often takes Meng Yutong to participate in various activities, and when ** asked, she praised Meng Yutong and said that despite her young age, she has extraordinary abilities and has done a very good job.
Dong Mingzhu's praise and reward, Meng Yutong humbly accepted, she knew that she was just a recent graduate, and there was still a long way to go Xi learning.
Meng Yutong and Dong Mingzhu met late, and Dong Mingzhu was full of praise for her, which made many netizens sigh that Meng Yutong was lucky to be able to encounter such a rare and precious opportunity.
Just when people generally thought that Meng Yutong would gradually grow into Gree's ** person under Dong Mingzhu's training, Meng Yutong suddenly disappeared silently, and her social platform was suddenly quiet.
"Pearl Feather Boy Selection" suddenly changed its name to "Gree Pearl Selection" in 2022, and changed the original group photo avatar to Dong Mingzhu's personal photo.
Meng Yutong's appearance frequency in the live broadcast room is becoming less and less, and the live broadcast performance continues to decline. In December last year, she no longer served as Dong Mingzhu's secretary, but was transferred to work in other departments.
Dong Mingzhu explained the questions raised by netizens, but such explanations made people feel a little confused. In April this year, Dong Mingzhu said in an interview: "Meng Yutong prefers to work in live broadcasts rather than sitting in a secretary position, so she now chooses to engage in ** work." ”
This explanation simply does not hold water. Obviously, the results of the live broadcast have plummeted, but he said that Meng Yutong likes to engage in live broadcast work;obviously claimed to be cultivating, but he only let Meng Yutong participate in the live broadcast, and he couldn't see Dong Mingzhu's teaching of Meng Yutong in management and personnel at all. This is not at all like the way an heir should be raised.
Until May this year, Meng Yutong suddenly publicly announced that he had quit his job.
As soon as the news was released, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
In April, many netizens noticed that Meng Yutong posted several messages on Weibo, including: "I haven't had a full weekend off for two months", "21 hours of work clock-in", etc., all depicting the huge work pressure she has endured in the past two years at Gree.
Meng Yutong also posted a message on May 6, in addition to the above.
It is more reliable to always rely on yourself than on others.
Netizens discussed these remarks, and everyone generally believed that Meng Yutong was severely oppressed by Gree's employees, and the work was too hard and tiring, so she couldn't bear it anymore and chose to leave.
The business queen is a notoriously workaholic, and Meng Yutong has to struggle to keep up with the rhythm when she follows her. In March of this year, a CCTV financial program interviewed Dong Mingzhu, and she publicly stated that she worked more than 14 hours a day. After all, people are amazed by her work attitude.
She then mentioned that since 1995, she has been hospitalized every year due to physical overwork, and this situation has lasted for nearly 20 years. At the same time, she also asked her subordinates to accompany her to the hospital.
When talking about this matter, Dong Mingzhu's expression still showed a trace of pride. Meng Yutong also confirmed this in a previously released **, she mentioned that work needs to be on call around the clock, and when the leader looks for her, even in the middle of the night and early in the morning, she must be at work at any time.
For this kind of high-intensity work, the salary should be considerable, but Meng Yutong soon denied this view.
Despite being called the "heir", during the two years she worked at Gree, her salary was around 5,000, which is comparable to that of an ordinary clerk. In addition, Meng Yutong said that when he was the "secretary to the chairman", he was only superficial, and actually needed to do a lot of chores, such as serving tea and pouring water and handling housework.
In addition to these jobs, Meng Yutong also needs to often carry out live streaming and participate in the company's network operation. It can be said that her workload alone is equivalent to three people, which is very beyond the normal standard.
Meng Yutong decided to resign, and the news was widely endorsed on the Internet. After all, in such a harsh working environment, it is difficult for anyone to endure it. The so-called "** people" are just a fictional bright prospect for the leader, and once they are really faced, they will find that there is nothing empty, so it is the right choice to leave decisively.
When netizens were discussing fiercely, no one expected that the disclosure of a Gree employee would reveal Meng Yutong's true identity.
Meng Yutong did not voluntarily leave Gree, but was fired.
The employee revealed that Meng Yutong was often absent from work to participate in other business activities, and also took some jobs privately. In addition, Meng Yutong has violated company rules many times, and although she has been warned many times, she still has not made any improvement.
Meng Yutong often does what she wants during work, and sometimes she can't be found even though she is working hours. Her monthly attendance anomaly rate was as high as 80%, which made Dong Mingzhu very disappointed, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore and decided to fire Meng Yutong.
Many Gree employees questioned Meng Yutong's claim that he worked long hours, arguing that his so-called "work" was actually completing activities unrelated to Gree in private.
Although Gree has brushed aside the actual evidence, many netizens are still skeptical. After all, it is too common for large companies to bully small employees, and the so-called revelations are also believed by some netizens to be planned by Dong Mingzhu in advance.
However, as more and more evidence was unearthed by netizens, the truth of the incident was finally revealed.
Many netizens browsed Meng Yutong's personal social account and found that since she became an Internet celebrity because of the halo of "Gree ** person", almost all of her personal accounts are commercial promotion content.
*There are all kinds of beauty, clothing, electronics, and even cars, but there is not a single product related to Gree.
After research, netizens found that Meng Yutong only released a simple **business order**, which was as high as 150,000!With such an income, one single order can be worth a year's salary, who wouldn't be tempted?
She seems to use the sentence "relying on others is far better than relying on yourself" to confirm her behavior of "taking private work". Even though you haven't left your job yet, you do private work during working hours, which is really undeserved.
Even two months before Meng Yutong left Gree, he had registered his own studio to design and market for the new industry.
She herself insisted that these were rumors and said she would consider re-entering campus life.
However, not long after, Meng Yutong reappeared in everyone's sight.
After Meng Yutong's group of ** photos were released on the Internet, they immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.
This set of photos is unexpected, Meng Yutong, who usually shows off in professional attire, is now wearing a red suspender skirt on the stage, showing a fashionable and cute and slightly** atmosphere in **, which is quite surprising. If you don't know her identity, I'm afraid you will be mistaken for a well-known Internet celebrity.
She also shared her dancing **, although the movements look a little stiff, but I hope she can practice more Xi in the future and improve to a higher level.
Now, Meng Yutong has left Gree and is moving towards the industry she likes. Looking back on Meng Yutong's past, it is understandable that she never considered entering the business world as her career plan.
When she was a college student, she signed a contract with Worry-Free Media. This company has cultivated many sensational Internet celebrity artists, such as Liu Genghong, a fitness expert who became popular all over the Internet last year, is one of their company's signed artists.
Meng Yutong is a university student majoring in Spanish, and she also obtained a Grade 10 certificate in Folk Dance at an early age. She is not only good at singing and dancing, but also has a sweet appearance and a high degree of education, which add highlights to her planned career path as an "Internet celebrity".
Meng Yutong has been working towards this goal, and she actively participated in various programs that can show her during her school years. In 2018, she participated in "One Stop to the End";In 2019, she participated in "Magical Chinese Characters Season 2";In 2021, she participated in "We Are New to the Workplace".
Meng Yutong originally just hoped to show his talent through the show and attract more attention, but he didn't expect to be discovered and cultivated by Dong Mingzhu.
Meng Yutong did not hesitate to accept the topic traffic sent to the door.
Dong Mingzhu was initially only attracted by Meng Yutong's young beauty, and they successfully opened up the company's young market through careful packaging.
This collaboration was a performance from the beginning, and it can be said that everything is a well-crafted ending by Gree, rather than praising Meng Yutong's excellence.
In this case, Meng Yutong left Gree while the traffic had not subsided, and chose to become an Internet celebrity who benefited from the traffic dividend, which was just his return to the path he had planned.
It is impossible to evaluate who occupies a rational position in the grievances between Gree and Meng Yutong.
During Meng Yutong's tenure in Gree Company, she and Gree Company were mutually beneficial and win-win, and the resignation turmoil caused by her departure not only enhanced the popularity of Gree Company, but also attracted the attention of netizens, which is actually a win-win situation.
After Meng Yutong left Gree, he re-planned his life path. However, despite Gree's dignified farewell, she still insisted on turning her head and stepping on her feet, and this capricious attitude did not have a substantial impact on Gree, but it had a great impact on her personal image. It's a pity that she was not greedy enough and missed a chance to start over.
Meng Yutong has always aspired to become an "Internet celebrity", but she is not sure whether netizens will continue to support her in the future. We look forward to her working towards her wishes, and as expressed in Gree's official response, we sincerely wish Meng Yutong all the best in the future.
