Big Mouth Tang stood up almost instantly, raised the microphone, and simply said "Thank you"!
Of course, he wasn't genuinely thanking Joe Ga; he felt that he couldn't let him go on anymore.
Joe's talk show-like style of giving both sides a hard time was very conducive to livening up the atmosphere and seemed fair, yet it ruthlessly trampled Rashiri's fatal weakness underfoot.
Big Mouth Tang didn't really mind the constant sly attacks by Joe on his character, after all, having thick skin was a vital quality that allowed him to rise to the top.
Now that he had the advantage, he wanted to make Joe step down and rest before he completely took the spotlight. If there were any questions, people could find time to chat after the meeting...
Unfortunately, he didn't understand Joe at all; a mere 'thank you' was absolutely meaningless to Joe.
