Chapter 415: A New Star Is Born.
On the plane, Tatum and Mitchell sat near the front, chatting and laughing. In the back row, Han Sen was speaking with Atkinson about the upcoming schedule in Charlotte.
Besides a few sponsor events, Atkinson had also arranged a yacht party for Han.
This kind of event was a classic American celebrity marketing tactic—fans could pay for tickets to see celebrities in a semi-private setting, and if they paid even more, they could interact with them up close.
Usually, these parties were just money grabs. But this time was different—all proceeds would be donated to a local Charlotte charity supporting children with disabilities.
Clearly, this was meant to elevate Han Sen’s public image.
Han wasn’t one to obsess over his public persona, but Atkinson had spent years carefully building a respectable off-court reputation for him.
It had helped Han’s business ventures in many ways, so he didn’t resist.
After finishing the conversation, Han asked Atkinson to bring Tatum over.
"You have any thoughts about the Rising Stars Game?"
Since Tatum had started playing with real intent on the court, Han had been paying more attention to him.
Tatum shook his head—clearly, he didn’t care much about this kind of game.
