Chapter 56: Celebration Banquet

The game was won!

The team successfully qualified for Koshien.

Although there are a few friends, the expressions on their faces have never been able to relax. But the vast majority of the players are still very happy.

Next, they were interviewed by media reporters and took pictures with them in a serious manner.

After receiving the trophy and honor, I got on the bus and started driving in the direction of the school.

When they got on the bus, there were still many fans gathered around them, cheering them on one by one.

"As the representative of Nishitokyo, we will cheer you on even when you get to Koshien."

"Let those guys see how domineering we are in West Tokyo."

"Hansang!"

"Yuuki ......"

In addition to these cheering sounds, you can occasionally hear the screams of little girls.

There was a sharp-eyed reporter who, after discovering this scene, immediately pressed the shutter of the camera.

The effect of the photo is that Zhang Han, who is walking in the middle of the team, smiles at the female fans who scream and say hello to him.

The girl held her heart and was excited......

"Not only is the strength at the level of the Demon King, but the attraction to fans is also at the level of King Yan."

Three home runs in one game, the most watched baseball player in high school baseball today!

The reporter who took the photo seemed to have an enlightenment all of a sudden, and he suddenly knew how to report on Zhang Han.

"It's coming! At this time, the sales volume of our newspaper should also usher in a new breakthrough. ”

Thinking of this, the young reporter hurried to his newspaper's car.

"In such a hurry, got the interview?"

The driver of the car was an uncle about 40 years old, and he had seen many motivated young people in the newspaper.

Like the one in front of me, there are many people who are full of vitality from top to bottom.

It's just that the vast majority of them are still unknown after working for a period of time.

I don't know if this young man can survive this?

The young reporter looked very excited, "Senior, drive quickly." ”

The driver's eyes lit up.

Looking at the demeanor of a young reporter, he must have dug up big news.

When they arrived at the bus, many Qingdao friends lost their previous vitality and sat on their chairs one by one, resting with their eyes closed.

Minister Ota rubbed his hands together excitedly, eager to find someone to share his excitement and joy.

"These kids are doing amazing!"

"Shh

Then Minister Ota heard that someone was shouting at him.

It's the team's third-year manager, Takako.

"They're tired already, let them rest......"

Although the game with the Yakushi High School baseball team was very intense, the intensity was not unbearable for the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team.

As the most intensive team in the country, they can also fight against the Yakushi High School baseball team for several more rounds.

It's just that I'm afraid that at that time, the players of the Yakushi High School baseball team will not be able to hold on.

The reason why they are so tired is not only physical exertion, but also mental.

The last year's Seido High School baseball team, under the leadership of the original troika, passed all the way and successfully entered Koshien.

You know, Dongqingguo and them, but when they just entered the Qingdao High School baseball team, they were highly anticipated.

The previous seniors all believed that Senior Dong was the most promising to lead Qingdao to break through.

They also lived up to the expectations of those seniors, successfully entered Koshien, and won the title of the strongest line in the country.

Now it's their turn, the famous year of the poor harvest.

Almost everyone is not optimistic about this year's Qingdao players, and their opponent is the former West Tokyo overlord who is known as the strongest Inagi Industrial High School baseball team.

No matter from which point of view, the current Qingdao High School baseball team needs to face countless difficulties and obstacles if it wants to go smoothly.

Fortunately, they survived, and not only did they survive, but they did a very good job.

Defeated the strongest Inamori Industry and defeated the super dark horse......

Although there is still a long way to go before their ultimate goal of dominating the country. However, to be able to advance to Koshien, they finally lived up to the expectations of their predecessors and coaches.

What they pursue next is not only the honor and responsibility of the team.

And their own dreams.

After completing the initial task, the nerves of the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team relaxed all of a sudden, and many players fell asleep.

It's only a few first grades, I don't feel any pressure, I'm very excited at this time, and I'm looking for something to do for myself.

It's just that the seniors are resting, and they don't dare to toss it in a big way.

Even Sawamura Rongchun, after feeling that the timing was not right, sat down quietly, held his mobile phone, and sent a message back to his childhood sweetheart.

Without saying a word all the way, the bus drove smoothly to the gate of the school.

This time the bus did not go straight in, but stopped at the gate.

Well?

As soon as the bus stopped, the Qingdao friends on the bus woke up one after another.

They are very awake.

"Why did you stop?"

"Is there something wrong with the car?"

The friends speculated.

The sharp-eyed Kuramochi looked out the window as soon as he woke up, and then he saw a scene that shocked him.

"Look, everyone!"

Everyone looked in the direction of Kuramochi's guidance, and then they saw a scene that shocked them very much.

The gate of the school was full of people. They were all students of Seongdo High School, and they were still in the stands, cheering on the players.

Originally, the friends thought that with the end of the competition, the students would definitely go back to the classroom.

Unexpectedly, they gathered at the gate.

The chubby headmaster, holding a large wreath in his hand, waited for the people on the bus to come down.

After Coach Ochiai saw this scene, he pinched the mustache on his chin incredulously.

"Qingdao High School is inevitably ......"

His original team was also a well-known giant in the country.

But Ochiai's memory is very clear, after the team won the victory, there was absolutely no such treatment as it is now. Although there were also flowers and applause, there was absolutely no such scale.

Not to mention that the principal personally held a wreath and waited at the door with all the students of the school.

"Does our school attach so much importance to the baseball team?"

Rei Takashima lifted his glasses and said with a smile: "It's not good to say that, but think about the number of supervisors and coaches in our team, as well as the salary ...... sent out."

This is not very good, and it is said that talking about money hurts feelings. Once the real money is put on the surface, it is indeed a little difficult to say.

But you can't deny that only real money is the most real and the most representative of sincerity.

For the players, it may not be so obvious yet. But for the supervisors and coaches of the team, for these adults.

The most important thing that the school attaches to them is the salary they are given.

Ochiai thought about the number that hit his salary card every month and nodded.

His salary is now 1.5 times what he used to be. You must know that he used to serve a wealthy family, and his salary is definitely the top in a school of the same level.

But even if it is top-notch, there is still a big gap compared to the salary paid to him by the Qingdao High School baseball team.

Not to mention the various benefits and subsidies of Qingdao Dao.

You know, he's not the head supervisor of the team, he's just the coach. The other coaches do some auxiliary work, and the income is a little higher than that of coaches of the same level.

Plus the school's facilities......

The money that the Qingdao High School baseball team invests in the players, and the school invests in the whole team. Every year, that's a staggering number.

And this number basically has nothing to do with ordinary people like him.

Because even if he has worked all his life, and he has worked at Qingdao High School for a lifetime, it is difficult for him to get that kind of income.

"That's right!"

The bus door opened, and Superintendent Kataoka stepped down first.

"Congratulations to Mr. Kataoka!"

The fat headmaster laughed so hard that he couldn't see it, and the dean of education also said in a shrill voice.

Instead of speaking, Superintendent Kataoka lowered his head so that the fat headmaster could hang a garland around his neck.

Otherwise, with the huge height difference between the two of them, it would be impossible for the fat headmaster to hang the garland at all.

The fat principal stood on his toes and hung the garland on Kataoka with great satisfaction.

Who doesn't know that his overseer is a stubborn donkey, and if he doesn't appreciate it at this time, he and the dean will lose face.

Fortunately, Kataoka at this time was still very well-behaved and did not lose his donkey temper.

"Congratulations... In this way, we have entered the summer Koshien twice in a row, and who dares to say that we are short-lived? ”

The dean of education usually browses information on the Internet, and he has long hated those gossip.

Now that there is a chance to slap those people in the face, the dean will not let them go no matter what.

When the celebration is over, he will turn into a keyboard warrior and reply to one post after another.

Let those trolls know that the Internet is not out of the ordinary. Especially if you offend them Qingdao High School, you must pay a price.

"Without the support and cooperation of the two of you, the team would not have been able to achieve the results they are now. On behalf of the children, thank you! ”

Superintendent Kataoka bowed very respectfully to the principal and the dean of instruction.

The players behind him who got off one after another also bowed their heads very respectfully.

"Thank you!!"

The contestants shouted in unison.

The dean was obviously a little caught off guard and hurriedly wanted to wave his hand.

The fat principal felt that his eyes were already moist.

It is said that Superintendent Kataoka is not easy to deal with, and he has been in a relationship with Superintendent Kataoka for several years, although this person's character is a little stubborn, but he is a very principled person. Often such a person, as long as he finds a way to get along with him, it will not be too difficult to deal with.

Originally, the team was unable to play for a long time, and the relationship between them was really tense for a while.

But the reason is also because of the team, not that there is any problem between the two of them.

Now that he listened to Kataoka's thanks and looked at the children who bowed to him, the fat principal's tears were really unbearable.

Who said that no one can see their own efforts?

Didn't Kataoka and his disciples in front of him see it?

"What a good boy!"

Since then, Fat Principal's support for the team has reached a higher level.

Although this was originally the task taught to him by the school board, as the actual executor, the fat principal still has a lot of authority.

Of course, this is a windfall.

Whether it's Superintendent Kataoka or the other friends in the team, no one knows.

"Let's go back to the shower first, and then go to the celebration feast. The cafeteria has been prepared for a long time, and this time not only the contestants, but also the students who are cheering. ”

The fat principal and Kataoka walked at the front of the line. Behind them, the Dean of Education said in a shrill voice.

This year's Qingdao High School baseball team is unexpectedly competitive. Before it entered Koshien, it had already caused quite a stir.

Zhang Han, one game, three home runs!

At the same time, he also broke the home run record for Nishitokyo twice.

In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the performance of the first-year rookie of the pharmacist high school baseball team, Thunder City, is even more surprising. Although it was not as good as Zhang Han, he also won a full eight home runs.

And don't forget......

He is still a first-year newcomer, compared to Zhang Han's identity as a second-year player.

The first-grade record set by Thunder City is not only unprecedented, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for anyone to come after that.

But who made Zhang Han handsome, plus he was the one who broke the record.

Compared to the record of the first grade, there is no doubt that the record of the entire Nishitokyo regional competition is more exposed.

So much so that now the vast majority of people are discussing Zhang Han, and the attention to the thunder city that is not inferior at all is not high.

Qingdao High School also benefited.

Although the fat principal doesn't know how the people on the board operate? But he could guess that the top of the board of directors also took advantage of it.

At the meeting, the directors who stood tall were all smiling.

The funds reported were approved very happily. Not only did the contestants hold banquets, but even the students' meals have improved a lot.

Of course, it is impossible to attend all of them at the banquet, and there are too many students in the three grades of the Seongdo High School baseball team combined.

With the standard of 500 yuan per person, it is already good to improve the food!

The banquet of the players, of course, is completely different.

The huge table becomes a buffet table, and all kinds of seafood delicacies are piled up into a small mountain.

In addition to the main players of the first team, all the people in the baseball club include players, supervisors, coaches, and managers......

They all participated.

Even the retired third-year contestants were invited to come over and participate with them.

The players are in a relaxed state, and they are basically in large chunks.

Zhang Han is naturally no exception.

He found a secluded place on his own and sandwiched a few lobsters and two crabs on a plate.

For fish and sushi, which most people in Tokyo like very much, Zhang Han is not very interested. It's not that I can't eat it, it's just that I don't like it very much.

If you want to improve your life, of course, it is crab with prawns.

"Those female fans who like you, if they see you eating like this, I don't know if they will lose their fans?"

Yukiichi also deliberately ran over to tease.

In fact, Zhang Han is very gentle when he eats, even if he eats something that needs to be peeled, he doesn't look sloppy at all.

It's just that whether it's crab or prawn, once you eat it, soup and water are always indispensable.

His lips and fingers were inevitably stained.

Zhang Han wiped it with a napkin and stood up directly with the plate.

"Don't be so cold, okay?"

Miyuki also stood up.

Although the food in the buffet is very rich, there are only a few really delicious dishes, including crab and lobster.

What about more than 100 people, even if there are a lot of these two things, how much can each person get?

By the time Zhang Han rushed over, the two seafood had already been almost divided.

On the last plate, there were two small crabs left. On the plate of the lobster, there is only one plate that has not been touched.

Zhang Han was not polite, and directly picked it up.

Yu Xing walked behind Zhang Han, and when he left, where were the shadows of crabs and lobsters on the table?

"I'll go, I haven't eaten yet?"

Zhang Han glanced at Yu Xing angrily.

"Can't you see what's going on? He is also known as the commander of the team on the field. Now there are more monks and less meat, so the first strike is stronger. ”

When there is something good to eat, it must not be wasted.

Zhang Han's family background is very ordinary.

It's warm, but there aren't many opportunities to improve your life. For him, the big meal is still very attractive.

But he is also restrained, even if the opportunity is rare, he does not let himself eat too much.

After all, he is now a baseball player, although most baseball players are relatively oversized.

But once it's really like Dongqingguo, it's not so easy to reduce it.

The contestants had a banquet, but an uninvited guest came to Superintendent Kataoka's office.

"This is the vice president of our TV station, and this time the vice president is here in person to discuss with you about the Star Game."

The person in charge of the introduction is the planner who filmed the show with Qingdao High School before.

As for the vice president of their TV station, he is an uncle who is in his 40s but still good-looking.

Some people are born with baby faces, even if they are not young, they look very young.

It's like this vice president of TV Tokyo, that's the type of guy.

"Mr. Kataoka, it's an honor to meet you!"

As the vice president of TV Tokyo, the other party can be regarded as in a high position.

But when he speaks and acts, he is not ostentatious at all, but polite.

Even Kataoka, when he saw the vice president for the first time, had a good impression.

"This year's Summer Tournament has a very high rating for both the semi-finals. We think this is a good opportunity to promote baseball in Tokyo, and if it ends like this, I will regret it......"
