Ex-Xiaomi 'director' accused of having affairs with over 200 women was actually kitchen staff & possible scammer

Recently, rumours about a former Xiaomi director having affairs with over 200 women have been circulating online.

However, Xiaomi's general manager of their public relations department, Wang Hua, dispelled the rumours with a Jun. 27 post on Chinese social media platform Weibo, saying that the man was not a director but a kitchen staff member whose role was to cut vegetables.

This man, surnamed Feng, was hired in September 2016 but was fired in the same year, November, due to absenteeism, Wang said.

What was circulated online before Wang's response?

Feng was rumoured to have signed "sugar daddy contracts" with each of the women. The contracts supposedly involve large sums of money, sexual consent agreements, clauses on BDSM practices, and pre-arranged companionship.

Some of the women Feng had affairs with are allegedly female international students and it is claimed that he would pay some of the women about 100,000 Yuan (S$17,788) every month.

One of the contracts circulated online was a "marriage without fidelity" contract which Feng apparently signed with his wife, which stated that he was allowed to engage in extramarital affairs, as long as he remained truthful to his wife about these affairs he's having with "little girlfriends".

The leaked materials included not only photos of the "sugar daddy contracts", but also an alleged photo of Feng's phone which contained numerous selfies and revealing photos taken with several young women.

A netizen claiming to be Feng's wife said that while she had initially put up with it, she could no longer tolerate his behaviour and decided to expose the details of Feng and the 200 over women he had affairs with to the public.

The scandal sparked an uproar on Weibo.

A scammer?

Following Wang's response on Weibo which dispelled the rumours, it was also revealed in a Weibo post that Feng could be a scammer who manipulated these women and did not actually pay them the promised amount of money.

Instead, he had allegedly even spent these women's money, betting on the fact that they wouldn't make a police report against him.

Feng apparently was also involved in a private lending dispute in 2021 and was asked to pay 165,000 Yuan (about S$29,000) to a woman.
