On September 9, Wang Teng posted on Weibo that many online rumors about his resignation were false. He did not steal company secrets to sell, nor did he accept money from anyone. He was negligent in his duties, but did not commit any illegal acts. Previously, according to The Paper, Xiaomi issued an internal announcement stating that Wang Teng, an employee of the China Marketing Department, leaked confidential company information and had serious violations of regulations and discipline, such as conflicts of interest. According to the "Measures for Handling Illegal and Disciplinary Violations of Xiaomi Group Employees" and the "Xiaomi Group Code of Integrity and Probity", the company decided to dismiss Wang Teng. Wang Teng, general manager of Xiaomi China's marketing department and general manager of the REDMI brand, posted on Weibo on September 8: "I am ashamed to say sorry to everyone. I made some mistakes in the past and accept the price I deserve."
