Hearing such a question, Itabashi Kenji was first taken aback, then he burst into a hearty laugh. He waved in the direction where Lin Guanglai was seated and replied:
"Hahaha, Lin, you can rest assured about this—our Mizuno, being a leading company in Japan's sports industry, can still afford this amount of money. Even if in the future, due to various reasons, you can't perform as expected, we would never have any disputes with you over this contract..."
"However," Itabashi Kenji's tone remained harmonious, even turning to tease Lin Guanglai, "a rookie season pitcher achieving the rare quadruple crown, a batter with a nearly .300 average hitting 20 homers, saying you might not perform in the future, Lin, you yourself wouldn't believe that, right?"
