Chapter 36: Yui Aragaki
Ringer's successive performances, more and more reports about him in the Tokyo media, Ringer's former teammates and coaches at Tokyo University, Ringer's roommate Fat Man and his buddies who played football together, and even the owner of the sushi restaurant where Ringer once worked were specially interviewed.
"He is a very confident person, when he took the initiative to stand in front of me and told me that he didn't want to be a goalkeeper anymore, I could feel the confidence exuded by his whole body at that time, so I agreed to him and arranged for him to play as a defender, no one expected him to improve so quickly." These are the words of Naoki Maeda, coach of the football team of the University of Tokyo.
"For a while, Lin Jun would always be late when he came to work, I asked him why, and I knew that he was late because he went to practice, and I also persuaded him at that time that as a top student at the University of Tokyo, he should spend more time studying, and football is just a hobby. In the end, I was wrong, and I'm glad I was wrong, and now Lin Jun is about to become a big star. These are the words of Ito, the owner of a sushi restaurant where Ringer works part-time, in an interview.
"We play together a lot, but after the game, the rest of us go together to find a place to eat, and only he always stays and practices on his own." What Yan Ming and the fat man said in front of reporters.
In ancient times, a poor man or Hanako, when he unexpectedly got ahead, many stories about how extraordinary he was before and how he was unwilling to be mediocre would appear, so that this successful person was shrouded in a veil of mystery and seemed mysterious and abnormal. Today, Ringer feels that way.
Thomas Crott is currently in talks with the club about a salary increase, which is definitely going to be raised, but it's hard to say how much. With the current situation in Japan, it is definitely impossible to skyrocket to the level of 3 million RMB.
Ringer is back in the city of Tokyo, and he has rarely been back to the city since he went to play football, and this time he came back to be interviewed by a TV Tokyo program.
As one of the shareholders of Tokyo FC, TV Tokyo seized the opportunity to conduct an interview with Ringer, a sports news figure who suddenly became popular.
In the next few years, three people have occupied the top three of Japan's list of the most watched male stars, all three of whom are sports athletes: Shinji Kagawa who plays football, Kei Nishikori who plays tennis, and Hanyu Yuzuru who plays figure skating.
Shinji Kagawa believes that everyone who pays attention to football is no stranger, the first brother in Japanese football, and even the first brother in Asia before the rise of Son Heungmin; Kei Nishikori is the first brother of Asian tennis, with a singles ranking of fourth in the world at one time, and the only Asian to reach the men's singles final of a tennis Grand Slam; Hanyu Yuzuru is a beautiful figure skating man who has won many world championships and broken many world records.

TV Tokyo is a very special kind of TV station, and unlike other TV stations, it has a reputation for being super indifferent to current affairs and news with a penchant for anime and food.
How to be indifferent, let's take a look.
In 06, Abe was elected prime minister of Japan, and all Japanese TV stations were broadcasting Abe's inaugural speech, and TV Tokyo was calmly broadcasting Pikachu;
Three months later, North Korea launched its first large-scale missile launch into South Korea, all Japanese television stations were debating whether it would trigger World War III, and TV Tokyo was rebroadcasting "Digimon";
In 07, there was a gun hijacking incident in Japan that shocked the whole country, and all Japanese TV stations were tracking and reporting, and TV Tokyo was broadcasting "Naruto";
In 09, the famous Japanese actress Noriko Sakai held a press conference for drug abuse to publicly apologize and apologize, and TV Tokyo is still broadcasting cartoons;
In 11 years, the Fukushima nuclear leak caused by the earthquake in Japan was a major event that the whole world tracked and reported, and Japanese TV stations broadcast relevant news around the clock, but TV Tokyo reluctantly reported it for a while after dozens of minutes of broadcast on other TV stations, and then resumed broadcasting cartoons immediately the next day.
Well, TV Tokyo is such a calm TV station that only cares about its own cartoons, and doesn't bother with other 'little things'. It's definitely different from other glamorous sluts, and the cliff is worthy of a mudslide in the TV station world.
Japanese movies or TV dramas often ridicule TV Tokyo, for example, in a movie where zombies broke out in Japan, the protagonist asked people to switch to TV Tokyo, and when they saw that cartoons were still broadcasting, they could say in their hearts: "It's okay, as long as TV Tokyo is still broadcasting cartoons, then it's okay for the time being." β
If TV Tokyo stops broadcasting cartoons, it's definitely a big deal.
TV Tokyo's headquarters are located near Tokyo Tower in Roppongi, Minato-ku, and a short distance from Ginza, one of the world's three most prosperous centers, and Ringer is easy to find. (Fifth Avenue in New York, Champs-ΓlysΓ©es in Paris, and Ginza in Tokyo are among the world's three most prosperous centers.)
Ringer thought it was an interview on some kind of sports program, but when he arrived at Ringer, he realized that it was a talk show that aired at 12 midnight, but Ringer still seriously cooperated to complete the program, after all, this was his first time on the show.
It's just a 15-minute show, and it took Ringer two hours to get it basically done, and I don't know if anyone will watch it by then.
"Lin, this show was arranged for you after I discussed with the club, and it should have an effect on your fame." After Ringer finished recording the show and called his agent to report, Krott began to talk tirelessly: "You are different from those geniuses who became famous at a young age, they attracted attention at a very young age, and you were unknown until you were 20 years old, you need some help to improve your fame, although football players rely on strength to speak, but fame is also very important." Look at your idol Kaka, he has not been able to play the main team in Real Madrid in the past two years, but the fame he accumulated in his early years is enough, which allows him to be among the top five footballers in terms of income for a long time, I can even be sure that even if he is no longer playing in Europe in another five years, he will not fall out of the top ten, this is enough fame to bring him ~~~"
"Alright, Thomas, I see." Ringer didn't want to listen to the guy anymore and quickly hung up the phone, because Ringer saw the beauty.
"Kornichiwa, Aragaki-san." Ringer hurried over to see the beautiful woman.
"Lin Jun, hello."
"You know me?" Ringer is really strange, he shouldn't be so famous yet.
"Of course, I'm the support manager of the college (high school) league~~~"
In Japan, football is gradually starting to become a culture. In '05, the Japanese high school soccer league first began to invite support managers, and soon this tradition spread to college leagues and professional leagues. At present, the support manager of the Japanese J-League is a Japanese actress, known as Rika Adachi, known as Japan's No. 1 beautiful buttocks, and she will choose one game every two or three rounds of the league, wearing the home team to watch the game, and also helping to promote the J-League. But so far, Ringer has not seen this Japan's No. 1 beautiful buttocks with his own eyes.
Cheering, which literally means to support and cheer from the side, is the support manager who is the image spokesperson and is responsible for helping to promote the competition. Support managers are all invited to serve as beautiful women, and they must have a better understanding of football, otherwise they will not be able to be the support manager at all.
Yui Aragaki was elected as the support manager of the Japan High School Football League when she was 18 years old, and she is still the strongest and cutest support manager voted by Japanese netizens, so it is normal for her to hear about Ringer, a fast-rising newcomer in football.
Yui Aragaki is a well-known Japanese actress, with the label of purity, warmth, and healing, with a clean and cheerful smile for a long time, coupled with good looks, she has climbed to the most popular actress in Japan in the past two years.
On the Chinese side, Yui Aragaki should also be the most famous Japanese actress besides Ivy actress, and a "Love in the Sky" has brought her into the field of vision of countless otaku.
"When I first saw you, I thought I saw Mika Tahara." Mika Tahara is the heroine in "Love in the Sky", which is also the most representative role of Yui Aragaki. Ringer didn't expect to come to the TV station to participate in an interview program, and he could meet a beautiful woman like Yui Aragaki, so he naturally wanted to get to know him.
"Thank you, are you coming to the TV station to participate in the show?"
"Hmm~~~" Ringer was saying, but his stomach was growling. He came here in the morning, and after recording the show, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon and he hadn't eaten, so his stomach naturally screamed.
"Don't be embarrassed, I haven't eaten lunch until I recorded the show." Ringer rubbed his stomach and said, "I was about to go to eat, and I don't know if I can have the honor to invite Miss to go with me." β
Ringer just saw the beauty and couldn't help but invite, and didn't think that the other party would agree, but when he saw that the other party seemed to be hesitating, as if there was a play, he immediately said: "There is a sushi restaurant near here, the sushi there tastes good, and there are not too many people." β
A big star like Yui Aragaki definitely doesn't want to go to a crowded place to be watched, and when he heard Ringer say this, he agreed: "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't eaten lunch yet." β
It has to be said that a good appearance does bring some benefits in many cases.
