"That's about it."

Of course, it was not Kataoka's turn to supervise this kind of work, and the head of the baseball department, Ota, did the work for him.

After Minister Ota finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Han nervously.

"Star game?"

After the Koshien game, I played another game with those friends in Tokyo.

Not to mention, Zhang Han is really looking forward to it.

However, he had already spoken to his family on the phone, and when he arrived at Koshien, he would apply to Superintendent Kataoka, and he would not come back until the official start of school.

His mother and sister had returned to his hometown, and his grandfather was very worried about his situation, and he had to go back.

Originally, it would have been late eight by the end of Koshien, and the time he could go back would have been less than ten days.

Plus the time to and fro on the plane and bus.

"It's just a defeat, and there's no interest."

If it was a mandatory assignment by the team, Zhang Han was really embarrassed to refuse.

After all, eating people has a short mouth, and taking other people's hands is soft.

Qingdao High School gives him a lot of scholarships every year, and he doesn't have any complaints about arranging some activities for him.

But since he was allowed to choose freely, Zhang Han had nothing to say.

He has something, he is not available, he does not want to participate.

He also made his intentions clear.

Then he saw the three big leaders of the team, and they all looked very embarrassed. Even Superintendent Kataoka did not agree immediately.

Zhang Han instantly realized that he had brought himself in and deliberately said that this matter might not be so simple.

"Can't the organizer be offended?"

How smart he was, he thought of the reason almost instantly.

So much so that several bigwigs in the team didn't look very good at this time.

was forced to ask directly in the face by the players of his own family.

"It's the vice president of TV Tokyo."

"So what?"

Comrade Guo said it well, even if the richest man in the world is looking for himself, what can he do?

Can the richest man in the world give his money to himself?

Since he has no way to give money to himself, why should he provide for him?

If he gives him the money, then he will be the richest man in the world, why should he listen to him?

It's a bit of a rhetoric, but it's also true.

The vice president of a television station does have a high social status and connections. But the other party's field is basically not in line with Qingdao High School.

"Do we need to care about him?"

Zhang Han's performance at this time made several adults ashamed.

What Zhang Han could think of, they naturally thought of as well. No matter which way they look at it, there is no need for them to listen to the vice president of TV Tokyo.

But that's the way it is in this world, especially in this country, where people look up to the strong, especially those with high status.

This is basically a common problem in Asian countries.

There is no way for them to say this without any emotion like Zhang Han.

"If you really don't want to go, then it's better to refuse."

After being stunned for a moment, Superintendent Kataoka resolutely stood on Zhang Han's side.

The reason why he hesitated before was not because he was moved by the position of the vice president of TV Tokyo, but because of the other party's words.

Even if he is like an eagle protecting a chicken, he protects Zhang Han very tightly.

Zhang Han will one day break out of his wings and fly into the more distant future......

After all, in the final analysis, he is just a supervisor of a high school baseball team, and it is impossible for Zhang Han to be an overseer for a lifetime.

Wait until Zhang Han enters the profession, or even enters the university......

After all, these storms have to be faced by Zhang Han himself.

This star game is a good start. While he can still protect him for a while, let him learn how to deal with the media and journalists.

Instead of preparing a draft for him with himself and his coaches.

But Zhang Han was unwilling, so there was nothing to say. He would not force his disciples to participate in such activities under any circumstances.

Zhang Han stood up and prepared to leave.

He understood that Minister Ota and Coach Ochiai must have something else to say, but in front of Supervisor Kataoka, they couldn't say it.

Zhang Han also wanted to cooperate with the school and not embarrass the leaders of several teams.

But as long as I think of my hometown, my mother and sister, grandfather, and uncle who are waiting for me to come home.

Zhang Han couldn't convince himself to stay here for two more days no matter what.

That means that even if you go back and bring it back, you won't even have a week to be at home.

After deducting the two days of round-trip, you can still stay at home for four or five days......

It's hard to go back home, and if you can only stay for a few days, it's too little.

Zhang Han made up his mind to go.

But before he could step out of the office door, a word behind him hooked him.

"It's a pity that these five million ......"

Ochiai is also considered a high income, much higher than the average social animal income.

But 5 million is also equivalent to half a year's salary!

It's just a day of competition, and he still has some pain when he sees that the five million are about to disappear.

After all, if Zhang Han participates, this award will basically not be shared by others.

If he doesn't participate, it's up to those third-year players on the Seido High School baseball team to win the top spot.

I'm afraid not even one in five chances.

It's not that their players are poor, it's mainly that the Qingdao High School baseball team except for Zhang Han is the type of player who is playing steadily.

They have so few bells and whistles that it's hard for viewers and TV stations to like.

If the audience and the TV station don't like it, how can you get their turn in the first place?

Zhang Han, whose feet were about to step out of the door, seemed to have been hit by the fixation technique, and his whole body was fixed there.

Several giants in the team looked at him in unison.

Then they saw that Zhang Han, who had already stepped out, stepped back again.

"What five million?"

The attractiveness of this number is still amazing. Although the currency of this country is not as hard as the currency of Zhang Han's hometown.

But the figure of 5 million is too big, equivalent to more than 300,000.

Even if Zhang Han's hometown has developed rapidly in recent years, this money is the total income of ordinary people for two years, or even three years.

Zhang Han had no way to watch the money fly away from his eyes.

"Didn't you tell me before that you wanted to go home after the Koko match? As far as I know, your family has already returned to your home country by this time, right? You're ...... this time."

Superintendent Kataoka asked hesitantly.

Zhang Han's refusal just now was categorical.

For a baseball player like him, who likes to challenge the strong, this is obviously very abnormal. To be able to make Zhang Han make such a choice, there must be other things that have tied him up.

Recalling what Zhang Han had told him before, Kataoka almost instantly understood, what exactly did Zhang Han want to do?

For Zhang Han's reasonable request, apart from support, Superintendent Kataoka really couldn't think of anything else.

In order to stay and learn baseball, Zhang Han did not even return to China with his relatives.

This alone was enough to make Superintendent Kataoka and the school's coaches very touched and gratified.

After all, if Zhang Han had left with his mother at that time, the blank space he left for the Qingdao High School baseball team would be too big.

Could it be that they could still refuse to let Zhang Han go back to meet his family?

Not to mention that Zhang Han performed so well in the game, he is an average level player, and they have no way to make such a cruel decision.

Unexpectedly, after hearing about the bonus, Zhang Han took the initiative to stop.

Could it be that he wants to give up the opportunity to go home and reunite with his relatives?

Superintendent Kataoka was surprised.

If Zhang Han really made such a choice, he really didn't know what he should say.

"It's not much different from going home for seven or eight days and going home for four or five days. The superintendent doesn't know what is going on in our family, and if I only go home for four or five days, the attitude of the family will definitely be kind, but after a long time, it is not interesting......"

Zhang Han has personal experience of this.

Grandpa and uncle are a little better, just like their own mother and sister, they stay for three days, that is, their own son and brother.

After staying for a long time, I am afraid that my brother will become a godbrother, and my son will become a godson.

Zhang Han wanted to go back for a while longer, largely because he didn't want to run around so much.

Two days late, it's not that serious.

If you can make a lot of money in the two days when you go back late......

It's still a good deal.

Although he is only a sixteen-year-old high school student, Zhang Han has already become a glorious house slave. So far, he has not repaid the loan to buy a house.

If there is this 5 million income, although it will not be able to repay the mortgage at one time, it will be able to repay a large part of it.

The rest of the pressure is minimal.

And although the economic growth of his hometown has slowed down, it has not stagnated, and the growth rate is still good compared to other countries.

As long as it is a good city and a good location, it still has the value of starting.

One house is also a loan, and two houses are also loans......

Thinking of the possible benefits of 5 million, Zhang Han's feet had no way to move anyway.

He honestly withdrew and looked at his supervisor and coach with a nervous expression.

"What the hell is going on?"

Coach Ochiai briefly talked about the bonus.

1st place, 5 million!

As for the back, Zhang Han didn't listen to a word.

He just needs to know what the prize for 1st place is? That's it.

Just like the supervisors and coaches thought, Zhang Han also thought that the first place must be his own.

If nothing else, just rush for the first place with a prize of five million, and this first place must also be your own.

"TV Tokyo is so rich?"

Zhang Han asked strangely.

Although for the recording of the show, the bonus taken out by the other party is not very high.

But the time is only one day, and it may be a little worse to invite a top star for this appearance fee, but it is no problem to invite a second-rate star.

The other party took it out to a group of high school students, which is a bit unbelievable.

"They must have succeeded in getting sponsorship, otherwise they wouldn't be so rich."

When the other party came to the bonus, he began to be confident.

Coach Ochiai is almost 100% sure that the other party is prepared.

This also means that there must be companies that have taken a fancy to these star players in Tokyo, so they have invested money to make a promotion.

"That's not bad, I'll participate!"

After confirming that this matter was valid, Zhang Han immediately changed his previous decision.

This time, several giants of the Qingdao High School baseball team are very uncomfortable.

Zhang Han swore before, and there was no way to accept such an arrangement no matter what.

Why did you suddenly change your mind now?

They don't understand.

It can't be for money, right?

Zhang Han didn't mean to help explain at all.

Five million were already beckoning at him.

After the matter here was over, several giants of the team told Zhang Han not to be impatient.

Since it was a star game, the Seido High School baseball team definitely couldn't participate in the whole team.

This means that there will definitely be a round of selection within their team.

Now just to eliminate those two players, the team's supervisors and coaches have been anxious.

They really don't have the energy to worry about these things.

"Since you've decided to participate, let's wait until we're done after the Koshien competition."

Qingdao High School baseball team, do other players have a chance to participate?

This doesn't even count as Kataoka and several giants of the team, and they have the right to suggest at best.

It's the organizers who really make the idea.

But Zhang Han's quota is obviously not to worry about.

Even if the supervisors and coaches don't advocate him to go, the organizers may not agree. They will definitely try to persuade them, and if they can't convince Kataoka, they may go directly to the principal or the director of the school.

After all, people's identities and status are there, and this kind of thing may not be impossible.

This is also what Kataoka supervisors and team coaches are more worried about.

After all, when it really comes to that point, there is very little room for them to choose.

It's better to agree to it at the beginning, and then fall into passivity.

"The other players are going to have to focus on the Koshien race now, so don't tell them just yet."

Zhang Han, who has already determined the quota, will not continue to worry about this matter.

But that doesn't mean that those who don't have a confirmed quota won't worry.

"Don't worry!"

Zhang Han is also very clear, what is the most important task of their team now? Of course, it is impossible to cause trouble for Kataoka to supervise them in this case.

When he returned to the team, the other friends took the initiative to come over and ask Superintendent Kataoka what he was looking for?

"Let me be the captain of the next team!"

The friends who came over to ask left one by one with ugly faces.

The third-year player of the Qingdao High School baseball team was very unhappy.

Before they retired, the overseer was desperate to find the next captain?

Although they also know in their hearts that the time they can stay in the team is very limited, and the time they can play with their friends is getting less and less.

Even the number of sessions is limited!

At most, there are only five or six games left......

But isn't the overseer a little anxious to find a successor now?

Can't we take into account the mood of these players a little bit?

"Are you idiots? This kind of nonsense is also believed. ”

Ryosuke Kominato said with a smile.

My partner is good at everything, but he is a little lacking in IQ.

"You mean he lied?"

"Nonsense, when was the captain of the team chosen at this point in time?"

All the players of the First Army are going all out to prepare for the Koshien competition, how can Superintendent Kataoka change the captain in this situation.

Even the future captain will never be possible.

It is said that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers......

What kind of situation will happen to two captains in a team, and who will listen to whom at that time?

When Koshien is about to start, is it possible that you are too late to eliminate yourself in such a place?

"This kid is bad at learning!"

The friends were very dissatisfied with Zhang Han's lying.

Perhaps it was because they were so dissatisfied that they forgot to continue to ask.

Zhang Han survived smoothly.

Of course, not all people are so easy to deceive.

There are still smart people, and there is not only one in number.

For example, Yu Xing and Chris, these two people are keenly aware that Zhang Han has just lied.

And he consciously digressed the topic.

Those third-year contestants with pure hearts have been led crooked by him unconsciously.

They seem to have forgotten what they should do. What were you just doing?

"This guy must be hiding some important information."

Yu Yuki said very firmly.

Zhang Han's current performance fully proves this.

He's hiding, and he's hiding a lot of it.

"Since he is unwilling to say it, there must be a reason why he is unwilling to say it, so why bother to get to the bottom of it?"

In contrast, Senior Chris is more cheerful.

Even if he knew that Zhang Han had gotten some great news, he didn't break the casserole and ask to the end.

Instead, they chose silence.

The team's training is still going on as usual, and soon the school will be closed.

Until a few days before the start of Koshien, Kataoka, the superintendent of the Seido High School baseball team, never gave the final list of 18 players.

The people in the ranks of the army who are likely to be out of the game are more nervous than the other.

Obviously, they also know very well what it means to be kicked out of the team at this time.

The rest of the friends will go to Koshien to participate in the Koshien competition, and even have the opportunity to dominate the country with the team.

How many times can you encounter such an opportunity in your life?

Now I have won the finals and successfully won the place to advance to Koshien.

But as long as he is kicked out of the squad, it basically means that he may not have a chance to say goodbye in this life.

You can imagine how apprehensive they are in their hearts.

Even a few first-year contestants who are usually calm and breezy are not very calm when they are practicing.

Some low-level mistakes are often made.

As everyone knows, this is also a kind of overseer testing them.

Six days before the start of Koshien, Superintendent Kataoka finally gathered all the friends of the First Army.
