Qi Huai'an did indeed slow down the spread of the issue; of course, he still cared more about Ji Yao's feelings.
When he learned that Ji Yao was subjected to various criticisms within the company, he decisively ordered his subordinates to stop spreading the news. There were plenty of opportunities to get back at Lu Jincheng, and he was in no hurry at that moment.
However, the matter did not end with his behind-the-scenes maneuvering. Qi Huai'an couldn't help but suspect Xu Ye—despite having stopped the issue himself, it seemed like Xu Ye's side had not ceased their actions.
He arranged a meeting with Xu Ye, who made excuses about not having time.
Qi Huai'an immediately guessed that Xu Ye was feeling guilty and didn't dare to see him.
He stated that if Xu Ye had no time, he would take the initiative to make a house call and see when exactly Xu Ye would be available.
Unable to avoid the meeting any longer, Xu Ye eventually set a time to meet with Qi Huai'an.
