Receiving views in millions, likes in thousands, Hiro’s short post match interview blew up. It was unlike any event before.
An interview of a fourteen year old kid receiving this much attention and appreciation was truly phenomenal. And given the response he had garnered, not only ordinary peoples but even some brands took notice of him.
The next day, early in the morning when manager Makoto had just returned to his cabinet after morning training, he noticed countless calls from unidentified sources.
“Who could they be?”
Picking up his phone, he pondered as he began to scroll down with somewhat flabbergasted and doubtful expression.
As he scrolled down, he noticed that the calls weren’t the only thing that he had received. There were a lot of messages as well.
Brrr!! Brrr!!
Just when he was about to open up a message, his phone started ringing. The number on the screen, once again was unidentifiable.
Yet, even so, he picked the call with somewhat confused and dubious look on his face.
No sooner had he picked the call, a feminine voice resonated from the phone, “Hello sir, I’m Nanao Hoshimura, spokesperson of Mizuno. Would you be willing to spare some of your time to discuss a potential brand endorsement deal for one of your players?”

The atmosphere in the sleek, modern conference room was serene as Hiro sat poised along with manager Makoto who had volunteered to come with him.
The room was rather bright and the ambience was quite serene and quite; given its location at a major hub.
Suddenly, a lady dressed immaculately in a tailored navy suit entered the room, exuding an air of confidence and authority.
Immediately, manager Makoto stood upright as he began to prepare his greeting to address this lady who was accompanied by few other men immaculately dressed in office suit.
Hiro too followed suit as he stood up from his chair.
Before arriving here, he had already been informed about the potential brand endorsement offer he had received from the one of the famous Japanese sports brand called Mizuno.
With a large market share, it was one of the dominating sports brand wear in all over Japan. And currently, he was going to discuss a potential brand endorsement contract with this famous sports brand.

But because of his age, he right now needed an acting guardian who could take his responsibility. And since both Eric and his parents were unavailable at the moment, manager Makoto had volunteered to be his acting guardian in their stead. .
Displaying a sweet smile on her face, the lady greeted him and manager Makoto, “It’s a pleasure to meet you manager Makoto. And we are delighted to have you here Hiro”
“I called you about discussing a potential brand endorsement this morning, I hope you remember me manager Makoto”
Laughing out loud, manager Makoto answered, “Hahaha, of course I remember you”
“Then shall we sit and discuss?” pointing at the chair, she offered in an amicable manner.
“Sure, sure” manager Makoto replied as he took his seat.
No sooner had they taken their seats, those men who had accompanied her handed a contract. And the lady in turn handed those contract to manager Makoto and Hiro.
“Ahh before we proceed further I have already informed both your parents and your agent. And both of them have decided to go on with your decision Hiro.”
“Also I have already sent a copy of those contract to your agent. And he had found no flaws in it. Still if you’d like to add or remove some things, do tell me?” 𝑖𝘦𝑎.𝗇t
The lady dressed in suit spoke.
The lady had really come prepared and by the looks of how she was handling this situation, it seemed like she really knew what she was doing.
After a moment of going through the lengthy contract, neither manager Makoto nor Hiro found any faults in it. And the requirements of the contract wasn’t exaggerating either.
In fact, one could even say that this contract was prepared with utmost care and concern for Hiro.
The duration of the contract wasn’t long. And it only lasted until his eighteenth birthday. Though there was a clause that allowed him to renew and extend the contract.
Also the pay was good.
But there was one thing a little bit unsatisfactory to Hiro. He had shoot advertisement and he had to attend some events organized by the company.
The lady spokesperson immediately caught the whiff of his dissatisfaction. So to appease his dissatisfaction, she tried to reassure him.
“As the spokesperson of our esteemed sports brand based in Japan, it is my duty to ensure our company aligns itself with the best talents, those who embody our core values of perseverance, excellence and determination” she began as her word resonated with conviction.
“And we have found those qualities in Hiro. Through our thorough analysis, we have found that you could be the next superstar emerging from our nation. So while taking such thoughts into consideration, we have prepared this contract with utmost concern and importance”
Pausing briefly, she continued with her voice taking a hint of urgency, “So I hope we both can come to an agreement without much alteration, since we have already given you the privilege that no other companies in this field could offer”
Manager Makoto upon hearing her word, nodded his head in satisfaction as he agreed with her. In fact, a contract like this for a fourteen year old kid was already miraculous.
Not only the pay was great, the company was even allocating him some shares and percentage in the net sales profit. Not to mention about the vision and ideas the company had planned with Hiro in the lead.
They were going to make him one of the key figure. It was truly marvelous. A contract Hiro would regret upon refusing.
Although those clause relating to advertisements, bugged him. Nevertheless Hiro accepted the contract with a smile on his face as he presented his verdict after going through the contract, “I’d be happy to join this amazing organization”
Upon hearing those words, her face blossomed like a flower as an intense feeling of elation overcame her, “Thank you for deciding to sign with us. You’ve made the right choice.”
Extending her hands forward, she spoke with her eyes glistening with joy, “Takahashi Hiro, welcome onboard. We look forward to working with you”
Reflecting the passion and joy, Hiro extended his arms as he grabbed hers, “I’ll be under your care mam. Please take care of me”
