In a luxurious apartment, a young man in his early twenties was lying leisurely on the sofa. Not far away were some athletes' clothing, baseballs, baseball bats and other sports equipment.
He is a standout athlete in the Koshien High School Baseball League.
As soon as he graduated, he was immediately recruited by a well-known team, and because of his excellent performance, he quickly became a substitute player.
His future can be said to be bright. Now he has a fan club on the Internet with more than 10,000 fans.
Recently, he has also had the opportunity to appear frequently in TV programs, which has once again increased his influence.
According to the agent, the number of fans is growing rapidly and is likely to exceed 20,000.
Whenever he thinks about this, he feels very good.
At this moment, he seemed to remember something and picked up the phone and dialed his agent's number.
"Hey, Kuroki-san, are there any talk shows on the TV station in the past two days? It just so happens that I haven't been training recently, so I can take the time to show my face on the TV station."
The manager Kuroki on the other end of the phone said helplessly: "Sato, the last time you promoted Suri Electronics' games on those four TV stations, you violated their taboo. They no longer want to invite you.
Participated in the interview.”
Sato frowned: "Isn't it just a mention? And isn't this also a request from Surui Electronics? As long as I say a good word about them on the TV station, I can give me more than five million yen. This kind of thing is
Rarely seen.”
Agent Kuroki said: "Of course I know this, so since you are doing it for the money, you will definitely be excluded by those four TV stations. They are quite resistant to video games and regard video games as a scourge. In short, the relationship between those four TV stations
The talk show will definitely not invite you again."
Sato was a little dissatisfied: "These old guys at the TV station are really old-fashioned. Didn't I just say one or two irrelevant words?"
"There's nothing you can do about it, but don't worry, it's not a big deal. When you really grow up in the future, you will still become a guest of these TV stations. It's not a big problem."
"What about the other two TV stations? TV Tokyo and NHK TV. Don't you think these two TV stations are not disgusted with video games? NHK also often advertises for Surui Electronics. Can I go to these two TV stations to participate in one or two
A talk show? Or some variety shows."
Since the last live broadcast was successful, Sato began to feel that he should work hard in this area, otherwise it would bring unexpected surprises.
"Well... let me ask, NHK should be possible. As for TV Tokyo, Sato, don't even think about it. TV Tokyo seems to be deeply tied to Yusei Electronic Entertainment, and the two parties have a deep cooperative relationship.
If you go to TV Tokyo, you will definitely be rejected.”
Sato said nonchalantly: "TV Tokyo? That's rubbish. It's said to be the sixth largest TV station, but in fact it's not even qualified to carry shoes for the five TV stations in front of it. If you can't go, you can't go."
"Please be careful Sato, it's okay for the two of us to say this when we are chatting, but we must not say this outside. Even if TV Tokyo is relatively weak, it is not something we can afford to offend."
"Okay, okay, I get it. Oh, by the way, have there been any fans who have taken the initiative to contact me recently? Just the nicer ones." Sato suddenly changed the subject and asked his manager with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
"No." Kuroki's agent directly gave a negative answer, and then said, "Sato, I have to remind you in this regard, you are no longer a junior high school baseball player in the past, but a
Official athletes must correct their previous bad habits!"
"Well, I'll pay attention."
Sato was very unhappy.
You are my agent and I give you the money. How come the employer who gives you the money is still under your control?
Forget it, this guy is really unreliable, it seems I have to look for it myself.
The number of fans of the fan club has been increasing recently, and some of them are pretty good.
While he was thinking this, he walked towards the computer and opened a forum web page.
There is a fan club forum specially established for him, and there are many fans who pursue him.
There are hundreds of posts on this forum every day, some discussing Sato's competition, and some constantly praising Sato. All in all, it seems quite lively.
But in fact, the excitement here is about 70% water content.
In the current Internet, an industrial chain of navy has gradually emerged.
In order to increase his exposure, he decisively spent a sum of money to increase traffic to his forum every day so that more people would pay attention to him.
The remaining 30%, even for true fans, is actually pretty good.
Not long ago, he was lucky enough to find a good girl here and dated her for a while. Recently, he has become a little tired of it and plans to change his taste.
Just as he was watching the forum updates with great interest, a reminder email was displayed.
The title of the email is: Sato, look at all the bad things you have done, do you still dare to say you are a pure athlete? Rubbish.
Sato frowned when he saw this email.
what happened?
What bad thing did I do?
Before Sato could react, he subconsciously opened the email and found a compressed package inside.
The name of the compressed package surprised him.
That was a name he was very familiar with.
She was his childhood sweetheart when he was in junior high school.
The two of them once fell in love with each other, and their relationship was so close that they were likely to get married almost immediately after graduation.
However, Sato, who became more and more successful, gradually became more and more successful, and he was caught cheating on many occasions.
Later, the two gradually became estranged, and their relationship could never return to its past.
He hurriedly opened the compressed file, which contained some old photos and some written records about his being caught cheating.
Huh... It doesn't seem to be a big deal. Written records are meaningless. I can just say that some people made them up and maliciously slandered me.
As for his childhood sweetheart, he gave their family a sum of money a long time ago and strictly ordered his childhood sweetheart not to tell his past, otherwise he would cause his childhood sweetheart to die socially. This matter was handled by his agent.
.
Looking at these photos, there were also some sweet photos of him and his childhood sweetheart, but at the moment, he felt disgusted when looking at these photos.
Is it because my childhood sweetheart is disgusting me? Or is he trying to extort some money?
That's not okay. If he continues like this, something will happen at some point. He has to call her house and warn her again.
He casually planned to delete these files, but suddenly he found that his mouse could no longer be controlled.
But the mouse actually moved on its own at this moment.
