💡 Cultural Insight: Meeting etiquette and face culture

In Chinese workplace culture, interrupting someone publicly in a meeting is generally seen as impolite or failing to give face ('mianzi'). Inquiring privately after the meeting about the reason for the interruption is a common way to uphold one's professional dignity while discerning the colleague's true intentions.
