WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't worry, I'll do whatever it takes to smooth this over with the press, even if I have to show up in person to beg or negotiate.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Visiting in Person to Explain (Sincerity in Crisis PR)

In Chinese interpersonal relations and corporate crisis management, when misunderstandings or negative reports occur and phone communication falls short, paying a personal visit ('qin zi deng men') is seen as the highest show of sincerity. It gives the other party ample face, helping to de-escalate conflict and resolve the issue.
