Definition
摆平 (bǎi píng) means to settle a problem or conflict, often by using one's influence or authority — it's colloquial and implies firm handling. Unlike 梳理 (shū lǐ), which is about organizing information or combing, 摆平 focuses on resolving disputes or 'taking care of' difficult people or situations.
