The immediate ultimatum that came out of Lu Mei's lips shocked everyone in the meeting room.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu. But I think your decision is too hasty. I think you should―"
"It wasn't a hasty decision, Mr. Cheng," Lu Mei immediately cut off Coach Cheng while glaring at the coach. "The future of our country is in their hands, so we need commitment. If they can't do it, we better find other athletes to replace them in the team."
The word "replace" made Lin Zhu's heart skip a beat. He had just been kicked out of the men's singles team, and now his position in the men's doubles was also in jeopardy. He didn't want to feel that pain anymore, and he knew that he had to do something to save his career.
"I want to commit, Mrs. Lu!" The young athlete suddenly spoke up, quickly attracting the attention of the people in the room. "What must I do to earn your trust, Mrs. Lu? I'm willing to do anything as long as I can stay on this team."
