WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Don't be so petty and let personal grudges ruin this, unless you want everyone to think you lack vision.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Flattery to constrain / Moral coercion ('dai gao mao')

In workplace or business negotiations, publicly praising someone's broad-mindedness or high status makes it awkward for them to act pettily or seek personal revenge, exemplifying the Chinese conversational strategy of 'using politeness to compel'.
