Before Xiaoqiang left the room, he gave Qian a look that conveyed a message: go ahead and handle things, he absolutely would not intervene or favor his subordinates.
To reciprocate his trust, Qian maintained an attitude of neither humility nor arrogance. While discussing professional issues with the group in the morning, she fully cooperated without deliberately showing off, and when faced with Apiao's occasional questions, she gave her opinions and insights.
Just after a morning, two out of four people in the group were already won over by her performance, another remained neutral, only Apiao retained his initial impression of dislike towards Qian, maintaining an attitude of annoyance.
However, since Qian hadn't stirred up any trouble, Apiao couldn't find an excuse to make trouble. As Yu Minglang said, Apiao wasn't targeting Qian personally, but rather was unhappy about the situation of outsiders parachuting in.
