Chapter 2417 - 2220: All About Youth-Dependent Careers (Part 2)

"Who cares about you! You take kindness for donkey's liver and lungs. I've already told you about Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea. It's a subsidiary of Su Corporation and has a significant position in Minghe. You're filming in Minghe recently, and after filming, you'll have to go on Minghe TV station. If you offend them, I don't know how you'll manage in the future!" Miss Zhang said to Jin Haicheng.

"At worst, I'll just never come to Minghe again!"

Jin Haicheng and his agent Miss Zhang had a big argument and went their separate ways unhappily. Since Jin Haicheng has already signed a contract with Cool Fruit Herbal Tea, Miss Zhang has no choice but to contact Kong Siman.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Kong?"

"Yes, this is Miss Zhang, hello."

"Miss Kong, regarding Jin Haicheng's endorsement of your Cuishengyuan Slimming Tea product, I have some questions I'd like to discuss with Miss Kong in person." Miss Zhang said to Kong Siman.

Kong Siman probably guessed that something must have changed again. However, the contract has already been signed, and specific issues can be further detailed in the supplementary clauses at the end of the contract. At this point, there was really no need for a face-to-face discussion, so Kong Siman had basically figured out what might have happened.

The two found a coffee shop to meet.

"Miss Kong, I'm really sorry. After careful consideration by our company, we regret to inform you that we have decided to terminate the brand endorsement cooperation with Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea." Miss Zhang said to Kong Siman.

"Miss Zhang, we've already completed the contract. We've started preparing for the advertising plan and ad production, and now you're suddenly telling us you want to terminate the contract. You're really being a bit untrustworthy." Kong Siman said to Miss Zhang.

"This time, it is indeed an issue on the part of our company and artist on one side. I apologize to you, Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea, and Su Corporation. Please accept my sincere apologies." Miss Zhang stood up and gave Kong Siman a deep bow.

"Miss Zhang, it's not just about apologizing. Since we've chosen Miss Jin Haicheng as our product spokesperson, our advertisement investment, marketing, and production plans have all been tailor-made according to Miss Jin's image, characteristics, and style. If Miss Jin refuses to cooperate with our company, we'll have to redo all the previous work done by the advertising company. What about the loss caused to us?" Kong Siman asked Miss Zhang.

"Miss Kong, I'm truly sorry. I find myself in a difficult situation, but this is not solely my decision. We will compensate the penalty according to the contract, and we deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused to you and Cuishengyuan Herbal Tea." Miss Zhang apologized again to Kong Siman.

"This is not just about the penalty; even if you pay it, it won't make up for the losses caused in our ad production. I don't understand why we signed the contract and were about to start shooting the ad, yet suddenly you're backing out, willing to pay the penalty instead of cooperating with us. If it's because of endorsement fees, we're willing to communicate further on this matter. We can make reasonable concessions based on the situation, but it's quite irresponsible to breach the contract suddenly without reason." Kong Siman said to Miss Zhang.

"Miss Kong, I sincerely apologize. It's not solely my decision, and I regret the inconvenience caused to you, but we really cannot continue our cooperation." Miss Zhang said.

"Why, exactly? Why breach the contract suddenly without any good reason?" Kong Siman asked Miss Zhang.

"To protect our company's and the artist's image, I can't disclose specific details." Miss Zhang replied.

"What do you mean by that? You're breaking the contract without regard for our reputation and still have the nerve to talk to me about your company and artist's image? Who will protect our rights?" Kong Siman pressed Miss Zhang.

"Miss Kong, I'm genuinely sorry. It's not solely my decision, and once again, I apologize to you and Cuishengyuan Slimming Tea." Miss Zhang repeatedly apologized to Kong Siman.

"If it's not your decision, then it's Miss Jin's. I want to speak directly to Miss Jin." Kong Siman said to Miss Zhang.

"Miss Zhang, even if you contact Miss Jin directly, she'll only give you the same response as I have: our handling of this situation is undeniably wrong, but it has genuinely happened. I sincerely apologize." Miss Kong said.

"Has it happened? What happened exactly? Did you sign another endorsement contract with products of the same type?" Kong Siman asked Miss Zhang.

"I'm terribly sorry, Miss Kong, I can't say." Miss Zhang replied.

"Then I'll have to contact Miss Jin personally." Miss Kong got up to leave.

"Miss Kong! Miss Kong?" Miss Zhang stood up, wanting to stop Miss Kong.

Miss Kong didn't stop and, after walking out the door, directly called Song Xiaodong.

"Family Head?"

"Miss Kong."

"Family Head, there's been a complication with Jin Haicheng's endorsement of our Slimming Tea."

"What happened?" Song Xiaodong asked.

"We already signed the contract, and Miss Song Jiaren over there has already started advertising production, but just now, I met with Miss Zhang, and she suddenly informed me that they're breaching the contract." Kong Siman told Song Xiaodong.
