On May 11th, it was reported that Qu Jing, Baidu's Vice President and Head of Public Relations, sparked controversy with inappropriate remarks on a short video platform, leading to her resignation.
Qu Jing recently posted controversial statements on Douyin, such as "I am not your mother-in-law, not your mother, I only care about the results, we only have an employment relationship," causing a stir.
According to media reports, in response to such misconduct, Li Yanhong personally fired Qu Jing.
According to insiders, Baidu CEO Li Yanhong was very annoyed by Qu Jing's remarks and dismissed her on Thursday.
A top Baidu executive told employees that Qu Jing's remarks were "inappropriate and do not represent or reflect Baidu's true culture and values." Baidu's management also pledged to review the company's corporate culture and work system.
It is said that Baidu's founder Li Yanhong and HR head Cui Shanshan held a small-scale employee communication meeting to discuss the Qu Jing incident.
Li Yanhong commended Baidu's outstanding employees on the spot, expressing with great excitement, "You represent Baidu, you represent the most authentic Baidu, you are the true representatives of Baidu."
