Chapter 69: Ochiai’s New Career

Ochiai Hiromitsu is not a very emotional person.

Leaving the high school baseball team where he used to work, he only took a short break for a while and was ready to find another team.

Although his mind has not completely calmed down from the previous distress, but this is life, and he had to bow down to get food on the table.

There is still a four-year-old daughter to support at home, and the house also needs to support…

No matter what he feels in his heart, people always have to continue to live. Although more than ten years of work has given him some savings, the money will always run out one day…

So he had to find a new job, a job that would support him, take care of his daughter, and take care of his family.

It's just that Kanagawa is really not a big place. In addition to Sagara-Kokai, the team where he originally worked first, the rest of the Giants are not short of people.

There were only three offers in total, which met his expectations.

One is an invitation to be the Coach for a normal high school.

The other is a job as a normal coach at a Famous high school in Kanagawa Prefecture.

Compared with his former job, these two are simply scum. The salary and treatment are very different, but the two share a common advantage, that is, he can take care of his family and his daughter who has just started school without leaving Kanagawa.

Next is the last one, an invitation that is very unreliable in his opinion.

This is what it looked like to him when the dean of their school came to talk about it in person, and he was very hesitant with his words during the talk.

The general meaning is that he hopes that Ochiai can work at Seidou High School.

Seidou High School is a Famous School. The feature of the Famous School is that they are not lacking in money, and the salary is very generous. This salary is 1.5 times his former salary, and it is even mentioned in the contract that if he can serve as the Head Coach in Seidou, the salary will be doubled again.

Ochiai felt that the invitation was unreliable because of the additional clause mentioned in the contract.

For the clause of the contract, if he wants to be promoted as the Superintendent, two conditions must be met.

First, this summer, Seidou High School was not able to enter Koshien.

The second is, that the current Coach of Seidou High School must submit his resignation voluntarily.

Ochiai can understand the first condition, he is not ignorant of Seidou High School. They did not get into Koshien for five consecutive years. With the background of Seidou High School, they would not allow that to continue, and their administrators continued to stay in their posts.

To be honest, Ochiai thinks that it is a miracle that the Coach of Seidou High School has not been replaced for six years in a row.

One year, you can say the competition is too fierce. Two years, you can say bad luck. You must know that two years means 4 chances 5 years means 10 chances to go to Koshien, and you have the resources of a Famous School, and you have not entered the Koshien for five consecutive years then that is a problem of ability!

Since there is a problem with the ability, it is natural to discuss the replacement.

The question arises in the second additional condition, what do they mean by voluntary?

What kind of person can gain the trust and support of Seidou High School to this extent?

Ochiai is not a novice who has just entered the workplace. He knows all kinds of office politics clearly.

Like the current Superintendent of Seidou High School, he must have an irreplaceable position and relationship in the school. If he replaces such a person as the Superintendent of Seidou High School, can he really do well?

And will Seidou High School really give him so much trust and such a long time as well?

To be honest, this is a huge opportunity and challenge for Ochiai himself.

If he can go further, he will go further! If not, at his current age, the road ahead will be very difficult.

Is it necessary to take such a risk?

Ochiai hesitated.

It is precisely for this reason that he has not given Seidou High School a final answer.

Time will be the most powerful weapon, and he wants to hold off until the end of this summer competition.

The real situation can only be seen in desperation. Since this summer competition is the last chance the school will give to Seidou's superintendent.

Then he might as well take a look at this opportunity and see Seidou's reaction.

To be honest, Ochiai, who has been the second-in-command for more than ten years, is very eager to take charge of a team by himself.

Of course, this team had better be a Giant!

After all, he still has a family.

This is also the reason why he has not decided on his next employer.

It has been very strange recently, and the dean of Seidou High School was even reluctant when he talked to him.

It seems that their needs are not as urgent as they were at first.

Confused, Ochiai checked the latest information from Seidou High School.

Under the leadership of their Coach, Kataoka, Seidou High School won the Kanto championship and was in full swing.

In this situation, it is no wonder that Seidou High School no longer contacted him.

They have always had special feelings for Kataoka, the current Coach of Seidou High School.

It was also at a time like this that Ochiai learned that Kataoka graduated from Seidou High School. After graduating from college, he stayed directly to teach at Seidou High School and refused the invitation to professional baseball.

When he was a student, he was known as the Steal-Heart Ace. He once led Seidou and was the runner-up of Koshien in the past.

To put it bluntly, Kataoka is Seidou's son. He was trained by Seidou High School and chose to stay in Seidou.

Loyalty is a very important quality in the Eastern countries.

It's no wonder that Seidou High School is so supportive of Kataoka!

Ochiai is not stupid either.

It is really unwise to go to Seidou High School and fight for power and profit with such a person.

He also gave up on the idea and was going to choose one of the two scum choices.

Although he is not happy, at a time like this, it is the only way for him.

Just when he was about to accept the invitation, Seidou High School who had become quiet lately began to contact him again.

But this time, the conditions were completely different from the previous ones.

Obviously, Seidou High School has absolute confidence that they can enter Koshien.

Even if it doesn't work this time, it will be in the next one or two sessions. Seidou High School will definitely enter Koshien!

They have regained their confidence in Kataoka, and at the same time, they have confidence in the Ace who is now leading the players of Seidou High School.

"We hope that you can serve as the deputy coach of Seidou High School and Physical education teacher at Seidou High School. Coach Kataoka, although he has a good talent, his years as a coach are still short after all. Besides, he was born to be a player, so he can connect perfectly with his players. Nevertheless, there are also differences in the people who are talented and experts in training. We hope that you and Superintendent Kataoka will complement each other well."

The invitation is very serious and the attitude is very sincere.

But Ochiai didn't even think about it and directly refused.

He resigned from the original school, not to continue to be a deputy.

And thinking of the ruthlessness of the school before, he also had a little bit of resistance to the giants themselves.

For Ochiai's refusal, Seidou's sharp dean didn't care.

He just grinned and said the additional clause.

"I should also mention that the remuneration has been increased by 50% from the previous offer. We believe that you have the skills to serve as a Coach in a Famous high school, so naturally you have to pay the corresponding remuneration. Also, The contract duration will be 20 years!"
