I am the Entertainment Tycoon

While Theo spent his morning working on his album, Ryoko had a completely different time.

At 8 pm, Ryoko stood on the stage in front of the 300 candidates who participated in the fourth phase of interviews.

"Good morning, everyone!" She smiled at them with a calm demeanor.

"I'm sure everyone here is too anxious about the results, so I will show you all the results first." Ryoko added as she motioned Amber to turn on the screen with the results.

The young assistant immediately obeyed.

Shortly after, the 300 candidates saw several names appearing on the screen behind Ryoko.

Every one of them started to search for their own names with avid eyes.

They could not help it.

This result would change their lives!

So, it was normal for them to be nervous.

But they did not have any reason to be anxious because Theo and Ryoko did not fail any candidates in the fourth phase.

This phase was mainly to access the level of skill that each one of them had.

Even though some of them were way worse than the others, Ryoko and Theo agreed that these people had room to improve.

And they could learn with the talented employees that performed well in this phase.

The only difference was that the best performers of this phase would get a better position in their departments.

For example, Nora was the best Editor among all the candidates competing for the Editor position.

Because of her results, she would get the position of Editor Supervisor while the others would be normal Editors.

And the several candidates who got these positions were shocked when they saw them.

Brianna got the Art Supervisor position.

Bruno got the Background and Layout Supervisor position.

Aidan got the Composition Supervisor position.

And several others got to be the supervisors from various departments.

Everyone was ecstatic when they saw they passed the test.

They would work on their dream job!

Some hugged their friends, some texted their families, and some just stood there frozen.

But Ryoko could see the joy everyone had on their face.

She was also happy, after all, these people would be the backbone of the studio.

"I see everyone has seen the results." Ryoko suddenly said with a calm voice.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at their new boss.

"I know everyone is excited, but you will only start working on your new jobs next week. So, you have until Monday to arrange the move from Sakura City to Elffire City. Tuesday the studio will start the operations." Ryoko informed as she looked at them.

The new employees already expected that, they knew that the 550 candidates from the third phase already were arranging their moves to come to Elffire City before Tuesday.

The three hundred of them would have only 3 days to move to this city, but they could not complain.

After all, they got what they wanted.

"If you follow our HR employees, they will proceed to help you with the employment contracts." Ryoko added as she pointed at the employees by the side of the auditorium.

"I will see you all next Tuesday!" Ryoko stated as she smiled at them before getting off the stage.

The new animators stood up with excited faces when they saw their boss leaving.

They wanted to sign their contracts as soon as possible!

Ryoko went back to her office with Amber following her.

Ryoko had a ton of things to do before these new animators started working.

Theo told her she would be in total control of how the animators would work.

So, she needed to find an optimal way to utilize these 850 animators newly hired.

Ryoko worked until it was lunchtime.

She looked at the clock and sighed.

Ryoko didn't even have hopes to finish these things before Monday.

'I must go now. Or I will get there late.' She said inwardly as she stood up.

She picked up her bag and walked out of her office.

"Amber, I will go out to have lunch." She said to her assistant.

"Yes, boss." Amber replied, the young lady usually had lunch at the cafeteria of the studio.

Ryoko was the same, but that day she had promised to go out.

The blue-haired boss got out of the building as the security guards greeted her with a respectful voice.

She took a cab and headed to a restaurant nearby.

When she got there, Ryoko saw that the restaurant was cozy and with cheap prices.

She smiled and searched for the people she had scheduled this lunch with.

After a while, she saw 20 people seating around a table while talking excitedly.

She headed in their direction with a happy smile.

"It seems my employees are having fun." Ryoko said in her professional voice.

The 20 people turned their heads when they heard that and saw a blue-haired beautiful woman looking at them with playful eyes.

"Ryoko-chan!" Brianna exclaimed as she jumped out of her seat and ran toward Ryoko.

"Anna-chan!" Ryoko giggled as she hugged Brianna.

After the two friends let go of each other, Ryoko looked at her former classmates.

"Hey, guys!" She greeted everyone with a happy smile.

"Ryoko!"

"The boss is here!"

"You look awesome, Ryoko-chan!"

"I can't believe it's really you!"

The 20 of them started talking excitedly with Ryoko.

Ryoko smiled at them as she sat beside Brianna.

"Ryoko-chan, you have some explanations to tell us!"

"Yeah, imagine our surprise when we arrive in that big studio and got to know you are the big boss."

"My eyes almost fell out of my face!"

Ryoko and the rest laughed hearing that.

"Okay, okay, I will tell." Ryoko said with a wry smile.

She could not help it.

These people were there at her worst moment.

They tried to help her get a job in Sakura City, but no studio wanted her.

But Ryoko appreciated their efforts.

That's why she was so comfortable with them.

They looked at her with eyes shining with curiousness.

"Well, as you may know, I did not manage to find any jobs in any studios I applied to." Ryoko started.

"Yeah, that bastard!"

"If I see that guy I will beat him into a pulp!"

They started cursing as they remembered the bastard that ruined Ryoko's life.

"I already had given up on finding a job as an animator. It was then that I entered a bookstore. I just wanted to find a manga to distract my mind." Ryoko continued.

"But it was then that I saw an interesting manga. I started reading it, and I fell in love with it."

"I don't know if you guys heard of the [Naruto] Manga that is becoming famous recently?" Ryoko asked.

"Yeah, I heard it is really good."

"I read it and I can say it is amazing!"

"But what this has to do with it?" Brianna asked.

"It was then that it hit me. If I couldn't work in animation anymore, I should try working with mangas!"

"I searched for the publishing house of the [Naruto] Manga and I discovered it was located here in Elffire City."

"I came here looking for a job at the Fuji Jump Publishing House, but when the boss of the company saw my resume with the degree in animation, he offered me a proposition."

"He said he was opening a studio to launch the animes from his publishing house. He asked me if I was interested in doing a test for a position in the studio." Ryoko explained as she remembered what happened one month ago.

"Wow! That's so crazy!"

"Ryoko-chan is so lucky!"

Ryoko chuckled when she saw their reaction.

"The test was to write in two weeks the script and storyboard for the first episode of the anime he wanted to launch. If my project was good enough he would hire me."

"But if my project was beyond amazing, he would hire me as Head Director." Ryoko declared with a gentle smile.

"And the rest you can imagine what happened." She added.

All of them looked at her with wide eyes.

They indeed could imagine what happened next.

After all, they all were aware that she was currently Tokyo's Head Director!

"Oh my god!"

"Ryoko, you are amazing!"

"As expected of the best student in our class!"

All of them started talking and remembering the old days in college.

Ryoko had fun talking with her friends.

She was happy that they decided to accept her invitation to come to Elffire City.

They talked and had fun while having lunch until Ryoko had to go back to the studio.

The others had a train to catch to Sakura City.

They had to take care of their move.

Ryoko said goodbye to them with a smile.

She could not wait to work with them starting on Tuesday!

What would happen then?
