He wanted to cover up the current Hanfu incident, to keep it from getting any more attention—or more specifically, to keep the higher-ups from noticing.
This sort of thing was common. Especially after Tiao Yin became the leader in the short-video industry, the platform had often been used to manufacture viral incidents to cover up other matters.
For instance, there was that one "god," that one security guard, and most famously, a certain "talented" individual. Just as another story was about to break, that "talented" person blew up overnight. Many people attacked him, saying he didn't deserve to be famous. They were jealous, especially some content creators who, green with envy, posted video after video about him.
