Diamond No Ace: The Strongest Hitter Has Arrived
Chapter 755 - 755: Agent?
"Is this Mr. Zhang Han?"
The voice on the phone was very pleasant.
Although he hadn't seen the other party, Zhang Han felt she should be a gentle woman.
Zhang Han frowned.
His mobile phone number was kept top secret, as he was afraid of being harassed for no reason. Even among his teammates in the Seido High School Baseball Team, not everyone had his number.
Zhang Han's social circle was extremely simple. Besides his mother and sister, only a few people know his current number. Kanemaru and Toujou had only exchanged numbers with him after joining the Seido High School Baseball Team.
In short, anyone who had Zhang Han's phone number basically knew his principle: it was not to be easily given to others. After he changed his number twice, his friends understood the seriousness of the issue, and no one told it to others anymore.
Recently, besides family and close friends, only sales promoters and scam calls had come through. Zhang Han hadn't received a call from a stranger like this for a long time. So much so that the moment he answered, he wanted to hang up immediately and change his number.
Even if the voice on the other end was very pleasant.
"Please don't hang up yet. I contacted your mother and got your number from her. Logically, your mother should have contacted you about this, but she told me that this matter is up to you, so I took the liberty of calling directly."
Zhang Han suddenly felt as if he had been seen through. Clearly, before contacting him, the other party had collected a lot of information about him, even knowing his habit of hanging up on unfamiliar calls.
This woman is not simple.
Seeing Zhang Han on the phone, the teammates on the bus all closed their mouths in unison. They weren't trying to eavesdrop; they just habitually kept quiet when someone was on the phone. This was a form of politeness. Even so, several teammates nearby heard the pleasant voice coming from the phone.
"Who is it?"
"Could it be a girlfriend?"
"How is that possible? With his straightforward personality, if he had truly matured, it wouldn't have dragged on until now."
Many of his teammates were very certain that the woman was definitely not Zhang Han's girlfriend. If she wasn't, did that mean they had a chance? Their eyes lit up one by one, and they all crowded closer.
Zhang Han originally wanted to hang up. But seeing his mischievous teammates around him, and hearing that the other party had found him through his mother, he gave up the idea. He was also a little curious what the woman wanted with him.
"My name is Yamada Tomoko, and I am an Agent."
The other party was very direct. Perhaps she was afraid Zhang Han would suddenly hang up, so she went straight to the point.
"Do you have a job for me?"
Zhang Han had met some Agents who introduced jobs before. A large portion of the advertisements he had filmed were found with the help of such Agents. They split 20/80. The Agent took 20%, and Zhang Han took 80%. Hearing about a new job, and thinking of his unfinished mortgage payments, Zhang Han immediately became interested.
As soon as they heard it was a work call, the teammates' interest dropped significantly. They still had a little hope regarding the previous topic, but with Zhang Han there, what kind of job would ever be their turn?
"You are still a high school baseball player, pay attention to your identity, don't always take on modeling jobs, it will hinder your growth."
Kuramochi muttered from the side.
"Am I weaker than you?"
Zhang Han held his phone away and retorted softly.
Kuramochi was instantly speechless.
Zhang Han had indeed taken on many modeling jobs, even missing some training time for them. But he diligently made up for his training after every shoot, and his training volume was not inferior to any player on the Seido High School Baseball Team. Facing such a player, even a strict Coach like Coach Kataoka had nothing to say.
Seeing Kuramochi's aggrieved expression, Isashiki Jun gloated and pouted.
"Serves him right!"
Why did he have to provoke Zhang Han? Even their third-year seniors spoke carefully when talking to him.
"You, your courage is commendable!"
Miyuki also had a gloating expression.
Kuramochi's face was flushed. He could only silently remember this matter in his heart, and he would never make a similar mistake again.
Zhang Han turned back to the call. The other party was not an Agent he was familiar with, so he wanted to test the waters first.
"What kind of work is it, and what is the duration?"
However, the answer he received left him a bit stunned.
"I think you've misunderstood. I'm not contacting you for work. I'm here for an interview."
Interview?
Kuramochi, who had originally decided not to speak, had exceptionally keen hearing. His eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Han in disbelief.
"When did you become a president?"
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Han continued to probe.
"I want to be your exclusive Agent."
The other party was a decisive person.
Zhang Han was startled.
"I'm very sorry, I only sign work contracts, not agency contracts."
Although he took on some modeling jobs, he never forgot the source of his blessings. A large part of his current achievements was thanks to Takashima Rei. If Takashima Rei hadn't had the foresight to pick him for the Seido High School Baseball Team, Zhang Han might not be where he is today. Zhang Han was a grateful person, and most of his energy was focused on baseball.
Only with work contracts could he decide what to take and what not to take. If he signed an agency contract, an Agent might sign many commercial contracts without his permission, and he would be at their mercy. If he had to pay liquidated damages, he couldn't afford it.
"Sorry, I can't accept."
He ended the call.
In the luxurious villa, the bedroom was much larger than the living room of an average home. On the large bed, a woman wearing only a bathrobe lazily held a wine glass and took a small sip.
"That kid is quite troublesome."
The call she made was rejected just like that. The woman seemed very unhappy, her brows slightly furrowed, which instead revealed a different kind of beauty.
"It looks like trying to fool that kid with empty words won't work. I'll have to offer a genuine contract with real money."
Her slender, fair fingers skillfully held her flip phone, found a number, and dialed it.
"Miss, how may I help you?"
The voice on the other end sounded very respectful.
"Does our group have any new endorsements? Something suitable for young people."
"We already have pre-selected candidates, but if you have someone in mind, as long as their basic conditions are met, we can make a switch."
"Sixteen years old, sports."
The woman stated it concisely.
The man on the other end paused a little longer this time, for about seven or eight seconds.
Then he replied, "Our group does not have any companies that do sports. However, we have a 15 percent stake in Andy, so we can select him as one of the endorsers."
As one of the most famous sports brands internationally, Andy's endorsements were usually only offered to superstar-level figures. Although Zhang Han was doing well in the high school baseball world, he was clearly not qualified.
"Alright!"
The woman said decisively.
"Go talk to them and have them draw up an endorsement contract. As for the endorsement fee, they don't need to worry about it."
"Yes."
The man agreed without hesitation. Whether the person she recommended was qualified seemed not to matter at all.
"I don't believe you, kid, can treat money as nothing."
The woman glanced at the photo on the table and chuckled softly.
Anything she set her eyes on would never escape her grasp.
At this time, Zhang Han had no idea that he had been targeted.
