The Popularity Mission

In a huge building in the middle of Shanghai, a team of bored-looking men and women gathered in a round table. 

The sound of a basketball game served as ambient noise as they tapped their pens on the wooden surface. 

On one of the walls, just right above the huge television, were the words 'National High School Basketball Committee.' 

"Who's in the lead?" Mr. Wang, the head of the committee, asked as he sipped on some iced green tea. 

Ashley, his pretty secretary, whose hair was dyed platinum blonde, brought out her pink tablet and cast her presentation on the screen. 

Some members sighed in disappointment as the international basketball game came to an abrupt end. 

"As expected," Ashley started off. "This guy's still in the lead." 

Mr. Wang smirked. "As expected. There's no one unlike him. I doubt that someone will be able to beat him in this lifetime."
