Jie Hu's personal enemy, upon learning that Jie Hu had recommended him for a position, assumed Jie Hu no longer harbored hatred. He went to Jie Hu's mansion seeking reconciliation.
To his surprise, Jie Hu drew his bow and aimed an arrow at him, saying, "I recommended you for the sake of the nation's interests because you are the right person for the post. Although you are my personal enemy, I will not let that affect your service to the country or harm the national interest. Personally, I still despise you. Leave my house at once!"
