A statement was released

"I would have understood if they'd just suspended the contract," Chen Lin continued, her voice barely above a whisper. "But they're really terminating it? And asking me to pay for the damage?"

"I wish I were joking, Chen Lin. You need to prepare for a fight. They're going public with this, and they want a public apology, too. They're using the scandal to back up their decision. You know how this business works," Li Wei said, his tone like a whip. "The board's made its call. This is bad."

She stood still, her mind whirling.

"I… I can't believe this," Chen Lin whispered, her voice heavy with disbelief. "Why would Aunt Cai let this happen?"

"I don't know, but I've heard they're already making moves with new ambassadors. You need to move fast." Li Wei's voice softened slightly, but the urgency remained. "You should prepare yourself. It's not just a termination—they're going for blood."

Chen Lin's grip on the phone tightened.
