Liu Bo was stuck in an awkward position, unsure whether to leave or stay.
He was utterly baffled. Wait, seriously? Was this young woman really this tough? At least give me a way to back down.
I'm from Dingsheng, for God's sake.
After a brief standoff, Jiang Yixin saw that Liu Bo had no intention of moving. She turned to Xiao Ma. "Ma, please see our 'friends' from Dingsheng out. If you're still interested in cooperating, we can talk another time. I hope you'll come with genuine sincerity."
Jiang Yixin stressed the word "friends," then picked up her laptop and walked out.

Xiao Ma from administration assessed the situation and felt that ushering them out now would be awkward too. "Why don't you gentlemen take a little break? I'll wait outside."
With that, he turned and left.
Liu Bo turned his head, watching Xiao Ma walk out.

That was also why Jiang Yixin had felt comfortable leaving
