What does it mean to welcome even if you want to refuse?
"Reject but welcome" is a Chinese idiom that describes a contradictory attitude of rejection on the surface but welcome in reality. This attitude is common in interpersonal interactions, especially in ambiguous relationships or business negotiations. It not only maintains a certain sense of distance, but also implies the intention of acceptance. Below we will explore the deeper meaning and practical application of this phenomenon based on the hot topics on the Internet in the past 10 days.
