Chapter 11

———— Today's First Update ————

This imposing man is none other than "The Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal!

"The Big Shark" Shaquille O'Neal is one of the greatest centers in NBA history. His achievements are something many can only aspire to, such as three Finals MVPs, one Regular Season MVP, and being named one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players. All these accolades are a testament to his greatness. Despite his larger-than-life personality, Shaq is very humble and often helps those in need. He frequently participates in public welfare activities, sometimes visiting hospitals and orphanages to see patients and children. He buys toys for underprivileged children and even started his own shoe company to sell affordable sneakers to fans. His generosity has won him the hearts of fans worldwide, and countless people look up to him as a role model. One could say that Shaq's influence is immense, perhaps even on par with Michael Jordan's in some aspects.

Although Xiang Chuan Yu has the soul of an ancient person, this does not hinder his respect and admiration for this superstar.

However, what surprises Xiang Chuan Yu is why Shaq would be here at this time.

It is currently the height of the NBA regular season, and the "Big Shark," who has returned to the Miami Heat, is leading the team in the Eastern Conference. However, this is not a reason for him to miss games, and the NBA All-Star Game is also approaching...

But this is a personal matter, and Xiang Chuan Yu did not think too much about it...

Perhaps it was his first time being so close to such a giant, even the usually composed Xiang Chuan Yu looked like a curious child.

"Are you Mr. O'Neal?" Xiang Chuan Yu, who had been observing with his peripheral vision, finally couldn't resist and greeted him.

"No, I'm Shaq..." Shaq's dark face broke into a kind smile. In real life, he is not the domineering and unstoppable "Big Shark" on the court; instead, he is very humorous and friendly, with a great sense of entertainment.

"I didn't expect that even after hiding for so long, you still recognized me... You're pretty good..." Shaq narcissistically adjusted his bald head in front of his phone.

Xiang Chuan Yu helplessly shook his head. Big brother, with your build and presence... anyone could recognize you...

"Can I call you Shaq?"

Shaq nodded without any concern.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiang Chuan Yu... I'm planning to go to the United States to acquire a website." Seeing Shaq, Xiang Chuan Yu had a sudden idea...

If he successfully acquires Facebook, it would be great to have Shaq endorse it...

Shaq looked at Xiang Chuan Yu in surprise. This young-looking Easterner has such great courage.

To go to a foreign country alone to acquire a website is very rare, even in the United States... Not to mention in Eastern countries with more conservative and strict family education...

"Nice... You have the style of my younger self..." The fat man wasn't sure if he was praising himself or others.

"Shaq, if I can acquire that website, would you be willing to endorse it for me?"

Shaq looked at Xiang Chuan Yu with a smile.

"I'm very expensive..."

"Don't worry about that. The endorsement fee will not disappoint you."

Shaq thought for a moment.

"I can agree to this, but on the condition that we win the championship this year..."

"I believe in the Heat's strength. In the Eastern Conference, no one can match the Heat except the Pistons." Xiang Chuan Yu analyzed with confidence.

"Why do you seem more confident than I am..." Shaq's bull-like eyes glanced at Xiang Chuan Yu.

"Because you are Shaq!"

Hearing this, Shaq felt even better about himself. This kid is quite good with words...

No one would have thought that such a simple conversation would connect an unknown young man with a superstar. No one would have imagined the sparks that their collaboration would create.

It was only later that people truly understood the significance of Shaq to Xiang Chuan Yu's rise to success. This legendary fat man truly laid the foundation for Xiang Chuan Yu's career, and the collaboration with Xiang Chuan Yu also made Shaq a true superstar, not just in sports... Of course, that's another story.

Sumida Park

Located on the banks of the Sumida River in Asakusa, Sumida Park is famous for its "Ink Dyke Cherry Blossoms" from the Edo period, known for its beauty as "Ten Li of Flower Clouds." The riverbanks are lined with over 700 cherry trees, stretching more than 1 kilometer.

The view of the cherry blossoms from the Sakura Bridge is particularly stunning. The Sakura Bridge was built by donations from residents on both sides of the Sumida River. Visitors can also enjoy the cherry blossoms from roofed boats, adding a unique charm. Every late July, the largest fireworks festival in Tokyo is held here.

In February, there are no beautiful cherry blossoms, and few tourists, only desolation and bleakness.

Under a cherry tree that has already begun to sprout new buds, two figures stood quietly.

One man in a black windbreaker, wearing a mask and sunglasses, turned his back to the other, clearly not wanting to reveal his true identity. The other was... Tomomichi Yui, the manager of AKB48!

Tomomichi Yui looked at the tall figure in front of him with a grim expression.

He didn't know why the other person had approached him.

But when the other person mentioned Xiang Chuan Yu, he fell silent...

"Why did you come to me?" Tomomichi Yui asked.

"Because we have a common enemy... The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

"So?"

"We should cooperate..."

Tomomichi Yui gazed at the distant cityscape, calculating in his mind.

"Fine, but in the future, let's meet only when necessary."

"May we both achieve our goals."

Tomomichi Yui gave the figure a deep look and then turned to leave...

"Pawns... will always remain pawns..."
