"Pengfei, your opponent for the Top Eight Promotion Event is that "Gifted Boy" Harimoto Hisashi," Zhizhong Gu smiled.
Pengfei Cui curled his lip with scorn. "I know him. Japanese media has been puffing him up as being a bright young star, and they give him titles like The Youngest Men's Singles Champion, The Youngest Youth World Championships Champion, The Youngest Open Top Eight Player, etc. Was his mother a National Ping-Pong Team player?"
Zhizhong Gu nodded. "Harimoto Hisashi's parents changed their family name from Zhang to Harimoto after they immigrated to Japan. His mother and I used to be teammates, but at that time, his mother was not outstanding in our team. After she retired, she went back her hometown, and we lost contact since then. Later, I heard she immigrated to a foreign country. It was not until years ago, when the media reported Harimoto Hisashi's news, that I discovered that my previous teammate went to Japan."
"Don't look down upon your opponent simply because of his young age. His playing style and yours are alike, both fierce. Moreover, Japan focuses on cultivating him, and these years he has participated in many international events, and has gained much experience," Zhizhong Gu said, then took out a file and browsed it, before continuing, "Not long ago, Harimoto Hisashi defeated Japanese Big Brother Hasegawa Xiuyoshi with a 4:2 score. Current him is in a nice condition. Although he is only fifteen, and is not a threat to us now, in four or five years, he might bee our vigorous opponent."
Pausing here, cruelty flashed in Zhizhong Gu's eyes, and he lowered his voice, "Therefore, in tomorrow's contest, I want you to win, and I want you to win big. Smash him, destroy his confidence. Bring him fear and horror, and make us national team players a terrifying threat in his eyes! I want you to be his nightmare!
"Don't worry, I'm quite good at this!" Pengfei Cui also smiled. He was a player with a distinct personality, and apparently, he felt no guilt about whacking a kid.
"In addition, change your old slow-start weakness," said Zhizhong Gu. "I have instructed Dai Li to warm you up in advance tomorrow, so that you can get into status quickly."

Harimoto Hisashi's hands began to tremble involuntarily, his heart was beating with extreme excitement. Although Harimoto Hisashi gained much fame, most of it was puffed up by the media. It was like an unknown star, if he appeared on media coverage everyday, then one day he must be well-known by the public.
Another example was, when some actors didn't have any presentable movie, nor did they have any valuable awards, or might even have a "box office flop". But after they walked the red carpet in a bizarre outfit several times while at foreign film festivals, foreigners who knew nothing about this guy before, would then label him an international movie star.
Harimoto Hisashi was in such a situation. He attended some international petitions with the title "The Youngest Participant
