I am the Entertainment Tycoon



6:30 AM, Monday, January 4th.

It was the first Monday of the New Year, and this meant that the end-of-the-year holidays were over for most people.

Private companies and government offices were open for business and ready to start the work.

In other words, this meant that everything was back to normal.

Sakura City is the country's capital, and also a city that housed an enormous population. And on the first Monday of the year, the city came back to life after the holiday break.

People coming and going as they all had a busy day ahead of them.

The only exception was the students as they had the whole month of January to enjoy free of classes.

On the outskirts of the city, where the poor neighborhoods were located, a young girl woke up suddenly as her alarm rang loudly.

"Huhhh." Nana groaned as she picked up her phone to turn down the alarm.

She was a little lost that she even considered not waking up and sleeping for a couple of hours longer, but a thought kept bugging her and keeping her from falling asleep again.

It was only after she tried to remember what it was that she shouted and stood up from her bed completely awaken, "SHOOT!"

"Today's my first day of work in the studio!"

Nana quickly looked at the clock on her phone and saw that if she wanted to arrive on time at the studio, she had to run!

Therefore, she quickly ran toward the bathroom she shared with her parents. She took a quick shower, brushed her teeth, picked any random clothes she could see, got dressed up, picked up her bag, and left the apartment running toward the subway station.

She did all of that in less than 10 minutes as she didn't even have breakfast that her parents made for her. 

Her parents also were back to work that Monday, but because they had to arrive at their workplace earlier, they usually woke up at 5 am and left the apartment around 6 am.

That's why Nana was not surprised that didn't find her parents at home when she woke up.

Nana had suggested her parents quit their work as she already had a job that could sustain their family. But they were stubborn and only agreed to do it when she started to receive her salary as Naruto's voice actress. Which only would happen in a few months. 

Nana was helpless against their silly stubbornness, but she felt relieved that they promised to do it as soon as she started working as Naruto's voice actress.

Nana admired and loved her parents deeply, that's why she wanted to give a nice life to them. She wished that they could enjoy and live happily for the rest of their lives.

After all, it was only after she saw how much they did for her, that she became so determined to give them a better life.

Normally, Nana wasn't a person that woke up late as she was a responsible person. She would normally work way before she had to leave. But yesterday night, Nana was so nervous about her first day working as a voice actress that she was only able to fall asleep way past the time she usually slept.

To Nana's joy, 15 minutes before 8 am, she was already able to see the studio after walking out from the subway station.

"Thank god!" Nana exclaimed in relief.

She had never arrived late for work in her life, and she didn't want to do it the first time working with what she loved. She hated the thought of arriving late for the job of her dreams.

'I have to rent a place near the studio when I start making enough money.' She thought as she walked toward a street 

food stall near the studio.

She hadn't eaten breakfast, so she bought a steamed bun and a hot milk coffee.I think you should take a look at

'I wonder if apartments near here are too expensive.' Nana had these thoughts as she ate her breakfast while walking toward the studio.

After signing the contract to be Naruto's voice actress, Nana knew that she would work in this studio for years. For such a long period of time working at the same place demanded living near to it. As it would be much easier for her to come and go without worrying about getting late.

At that moment, Nana decided to start looking for apartments in this neighborhood. She was happy when she remembered that although this neighborhood was near the city center, it shouldn't be one of the most expensive places in the city.

Shortly after, Nana arrived in front of the studio and was greeted by a team of security guards. It was only then that she remembered that she had to show them the company id that was given to her.

She quickly finished her breakfast and threw the cup and the paper in the garbage before she searched for the id inside her bag.

A few seconds later, she found the id and show it to the security guard.

"Here." Nana said with a relieved voice, she was relieved that she didn't lose the id.

The guard checked the id for a while before replying, "You can go in, Ozawa-san."

"Thank you!" Nana smiled happily before taking her id back and entering the building.

It was only after entering the building that she realized that she didn't where she had to go, so she could only ask the receptionist.

Nana thanked the receptionist for the information before heading directly to where she was told to go.

When she arrived at the meeting room, she realized that she was the last to arrive. Which was understandable as it was already 7:55 am and the meeting was scheduled for 8 am.

"Good morning, seniors! I'm so sorry for the delay!" Nana said with a regretful expression as she entered the room.

"Good morning, Nana-chan!"

"You don't have to worry, Nana, there is still time before the agreed time scheduled."

"Yeah, you arrived on time."

"..."

Everyone greeted Nana warmly and didn't care she was the last to arrive.

They understood it was Nana's first time in an anime production, so they wanted to care and take care of her as the seniors did to them when they started working as voice actors.

Nana was grateful when she saw that they were supporting her even at the moment.

"Are you nervous, Nana-chan?" Laura asked with a smile.

"A little. Everything is so new to me." Nana replied with a nervous smile as she sat down at the table.

"You don't have to worry, just follow our lead." Kimi laughed.

"Yeah, just follow our lead." The others agreed.

Nana nodded before asking, "What are going to do today?"

At that moment, they looked among themselves and answered at the same time, "Table Reading!"
