EAST BUY (01797.HK) announced that certain self-media recently spread false rumors alleging that someone insulted Dong Yuhui and "threw manuscripts and samples in his face"; Dong Yuhui was banned from broadcasting by staff while in Jilin; upon returning to Peking, he "discovered that he could not enter the company's main gate and realized he had been fired."

The company clarified that the aforementioned rumors are fabricated facts, maliciously concocted false content, aimed at creating hatred, misleading uninformed netizens to misunderstand and attack the company. At the same time, the company emphasizes that no one has ever insulted Dong Yuhui on any occasion, and scenarios such as throwing manuscripts and samples in his face, prohibiting Dong Yuhui from broadcasting, or canceling access permissions are absurd.

Furthermore, the company pointed out that the relevant rumors had already been spread online before the independent operation of 'Walking with Hui.' The company has repeatedly tolerated this and has not caused the rumormongers to stop their illegal activities, and will resolutely take legal measures to protect its legal rights and pursue the legal responsibilities of the rumormongers.
