Their affair had sent tongues wagging in China, but it was the "mistress dress" that stole the show.
The woman was not his wife - a fact that led to the executive's downfall. But it was what the woman was wearing - a body-hugging, summer dress with floral prints of pink, yellow and blue - that drew "oohs" and "aahs", and sent online sales of the frock soaring.
Within hours from the time the video appeared, CNPC released a statement saying Mr Hu had been sacked. Ms Dong, too, was let go.Some said Ms Dong's father was himself a senior executive at CNPC, and that Ms Dong was known for posts on social media that showcased her taste for expensive designer bags and luxurious vacations. Netizens noted that she was carrying a Lady Dior handbag that retails for around $8,000 in the video.
Others took to using AI imaging tools to render screenshots of Mr Hu and Ms Dong as manga and anime characters.
