Chapter 196: Chapter 191: But The World Changes Fast

“Good day members of the press, I called you all here today to clarify a recent matter.” Miles began directly.

When the room quieted, Miles continued smiling, “There have been rumors online suggesting that the Flying Horse Company intends to terminate the endorsement agreement with Miss Kay Lee. However, please understand that the Flying Horse Company is an honest and contract-abiding business. We would not terminate our contract with an endorser just because of certain issues. We are aware that Miss Kay Lee has recently faced some troubles.” “However, we believe these issues will eventually pass. Today we called you here, firstly to clarify the situation, and secondly, in regards to Kay Lee’s endorsement contract, Flying Horse Company will terminate its previous contract with Miss Kay Lee and draft a new one.” Miles paused here, giving journalists enough time to react.

Sure enough, a journalist quickly stood up and asked, “Mr. Miles, could you shed some light on the reasons behind drafting a new endorsement contract?”

“Indeed, after careful consideration, the headquarters of Flying Horse Flame Nation and Flying Horse Graham Kingdom feel the current contract fails to reflect Miss Kay Lee’s value. Thus, we terminated the previous contract before its expiration, raising the annual endorsement fee from five million Federal coins to ten million Federal coins,” Miles stated his decision.

When the decision was announced, all the reporters and people watching the news in front of the computer were buzzing in disbelief. Weren’t there countless rumors that the Flying Horse Company was going to terminate its contract with Kay Lee? Turns out they did terminate it, but they replaced it with a larger contract! An annual endorsement fee of 10 million Federal coins!

This is by far one of the top endorsement contracts worldwide! First, it was WY, now it’s Flying Horse. Wasn’t it said that Kay Lee’s career was entering a downturn after her career’s Waterloo? Could you tell me if this is a downturn? Just with these two contracts, Kay Lee’s annual endorsement fee is 25 million Federal coins.

Who knows what the future holds? If there are more contracts to come, this is simply unimaginable. Yes, Kay Lee is currently unable to find advertisements,

TV dramas, or movies, but it seems that the news heat has not decreased much.

Afterwards, Miles passed the mic to Kay Lee. Today, Kay Lee looked much better than she did a few days ago, though she didn’t say much, only some official lines thanking the Flying Horse Company for its trust and so on.

Seeing Kay Lee looking much better in front of the camera, Finn Lewis showed

a smile on his face. Even though there was WY before, Kay Lee probably felt that WY was really using her as a gimmick for promotion. Now that there’s a second contract with Flying Horse, she should regain confidence in herself.

However, at this moment, someone was looking extremely grim. Bryski Miller naturally watched the news today. But why?! Bryski couldn’t understand at all. Has Flying Horse gone nuts? Not only did they not terminate the contract with Kay Lee, but they also increased the endorsement fee to 10 million Federal coins?!

This was completely nonsensical! It also made him extremely perplexed! Even if he racked his brains, Bryski could not comprehend why Flying Horse would do such a thing. Could they be influenced by Flying Horse’s top executives? Even the Blackfield Group couldn’t do it, or simply put, unless national laws were enacted, even some national authorities might not be able to influence the executives of Flying Horse. To put it bluntly, large corporations like this are generally treated equally by the government.

Therefore, Bryski hadn’t considered any possibility that any other people could influence the executives of Flying Horse. Although it may just be a matter of spending an extra five million Federal coins, it is Flying Horse Company bringing trouble to itself. How many endorsement contracts does Flying Horse have worldwide? If Kay Lee’s fee doubled without reason, what about the other stars? These stars’ managers are not to be trifled with.

We can make a wild guess about the degree of Bryski’s internal anger, but no matter how furious he was, there wasn’t much he could do. At most, he could restrict the company by not airing Flying Horse’s commercials, but would Flying Horse care about this? It clearly states: I’d rather not run these commercials than not sign this contract. As to why, no one knows. Even those who know the truth have no idea!

As reporters, they were also a bit puzzled. As for such a star scandal, they had seen quite a few outcomes. Either the star admits their mistake, reaches a private settlement with the other party, then the scandalous treatment is lifted. Or the second kind, that is to completely retire from the music, film industry and gradually fade from the public’s eyes. Then there’s the last kind, which is suffering a few ups and downs before experiencing a resurgence several years later.

They were either one of these outcomes, but Kay Lee’s case was too unusual. When the issues about Kay Lee first surfaced, she indeed faced numerous problems, and the strength of the opponent almost made her collapse. But later, the development of the situation became inexplicable for everyone.

First, it was the sudden appearance of WY, which paid Kay Lee’s two-year endorsement fee in one payment at a staggering annual rate of 100 million Flame Nation coins. Then Kay Lee further confounded people by openly admitting to the problems in a press conference, causing an uproar and discussion on the internet. Afterward, the Flying Horse Company suddenly appeared, not only did they not terminate the endorsement contract with Kay Lee, they immediately signed a double endorsement deal.

One piece of news after another, like a roller coaster, made everyone dizzy, completely unsure of what was happening. If all this was the result of Kay Lee’s connections, it would be even more confusing. If they wanted to help, why didn’t they do it at the beginning of Kay Lee’s problems? Did she have to pay a penalty of as much as 600million, and nearly be pursued for debt by the bank, even selling off all her assets?

But if it’s not because of the people behind Kay Lee, then who? Nobody is a fool. Although Flying Horse and I,VY did not admit it, this does not mean that these two are suddenly stupid, spending more money and also facing the risk of fighting against another large international multinational group.

Flying Horse is okay, they can ignore the Blackfield Group, but WY is different, is not as strong as the Flying Horse Company.

This question is not only asked by countless netizens and media, but even Kay

Lee herself also wants to know. Kay Lee isn’t stupid, contrary she is intelligent.

WY’s sudden appearance didn’t cause Kay to think much initially, but with Flying Horse acting so mysteriously, not only did they not terminate the contract, they even doubled the endorsement fee..
