For the next two days, Masamune stayed at home writing a script.

Since I had never written anything like this before, I could only search online for scriptwriting basics, sample scripts, and so on, learning as I went.

Because I couldn't remember many of the details, I had to add and correct them myself, which made writing extremely difficult.

For three consecutive days, he didn't step out of his room at all, but after working day and night, he finally finished the script called "Masamune-kun's Revenge".

"Zong-jun, are you awake?"

Hearing a knock at the door, Masamune opened it, revealing a slightly tired face.

"Dad, isn't it ten o'clock in the morning? Why are you back so early?"

"I heard from Mom that you've been working hard on writing stories these past few days, neglecting to eat or sleep. Realizing your efforts, I've increased my investment and have already bought an animation company."

"Really? Thank you. Just a moment, I'll change right away."

"No rush, wash up first, then take your time."

"clear."

Despite saying this, Masamune did not follow it, but instead washed up and changed his clothes as quickly as possible.

However, to his surprise, after changing into the suit prepared by his young daughter's mother and tying his tie, he did not see his father at home.

In the living room, everyone had already left and the tea had gone cold; only a middle-aged woman carrying a briefcase sat on the sofa.

"Aunt Nagano, where is Dad?"

"The president has already left to catch his flight. I've been asked by the president to take you to the animation company."

Masamune was speechless. He told himself not to rush and to take it slow, but the man who said that lived his life according to a schedule.

"Dad was only at home for less than ten minutes, right?"

"No, the president specifically set aside half an hour for himself at home today, and spent 29 minutes of that time chatting with Mrs. Juanjiang."

Are the parents truly in love, and the child just an accident?

Masamune was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he pondered and said:

"In my memory, my dad would stay at home one day a week, and before that, he would take my mom and me out for two days every month."

"There are always two nights a week when I get home on time in the evening."

"Although I travel a lot for work, I'm not so busy that I have to calculate every minute of my time, am I?"

Nagano Yuri gently adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses and slowly began to speak:

"Although this is not something I should say, in my opinion, the president is always busy in order to make time to spend with his family."

So this is ah.

The question of whether my father was busy or idle, which had been lingering for a long time, suddenly had an answer.

Although it was an unexpected answer, upon closer examination, it wasn't strange at all.

At that moment, Masamune suddenly had an idea:

"Great, my second goal in life will be to work hard to make money and acquire all of Dad's companies so that he can rest at home."

"President Hayase would be very happy to hear this."

"How could I say such a thing to her face? Aunt Nagano, let's go."

"Okay, please follow me."

After taking a couple of steps, Masamune noticed the young girl's mother walking towards him with a cup of tea, and said with a smile:

"Mom, I'm going out. From today onwards, Hayase Masamune is a working professional."

Hayase Kyonie looked reluctant to part, tears welling in her eyes, and said in an extremely forlorn tone:

"Zong-kun has grown up a lot. Will he come back tonight...?"

"Yeah. Unlike my dad, I work in Tokyo, so I don't have to travel for work or anything. I'll definitely be back tonight."

"That's great!" Hayase Kyeon's face lit up with joy, and she instantly burst into laughter through her tears. "Come back soon, Zong-kun. To celebrate your first day at work, I'll cook some extra delicious food."

"Ah."

As she stepped out of the house, Nagano Yuri suddenly asked:

"Do you have a driver's license, Masamune-kun?"

"I just took the exam not long ago."

"How's the technology?"

"It's alright, around 60 points."

"Here, this is for you. President Hayase asked me to give it to you."

As they were talking, Nagano Yuri handed over a car key.

"Thank you. Does this mean I have to drive all the way to the company?"

"If you find it too much trouble, you can hire a full-time driver later."

"I'll wait until I've established myself at the new company."

Realizing that this meant he was being given the black Toyota parked at the entrance, Masamune felt somewhat pressured.

If someone feeds you to this extent, it would be too shameful if they couldn't achieve something significant later on.

Where is that animation company located?

Musashino City, Tokyo.

"Could the company name also be Musashino?"

"Did Masamune-kun do any research beforehand? Musashino Animation has a long history. Although it has been poorly managed in recent years, leading to many financial problems, for an animation company, excellent employees are the most important thing..."

Accompanied by Yuri Nagano, Masamune quickly drove to the Musashino Animation building.

……

"Mr. Marukawa, this is your new president, Masamune Hayase."

Ignoring Maruyama's dejected expression, Nagano Yuriko continued:

"Masamune-kun, this Mr. Marukawa Masato was the former president of Musashino Animation. You can contact him for details regarding the handover."

"Am I here to be the president? Not to intern?" Masamune asked, looking surprised.

"No, according to President Hayase, if we're going to make an animation, we have to make it the best it can be."

“I understand.” Masamune nodded slightly, then looked at Marukawa Masato. “Mr. Marukawa, where is the conference room at Musashino? Could you please gather all the key members of the creative team together? I would like to meet with everyone.”

"No problem, please wait a moment. The meeting room is this way, please follow me."

After taking only a few steps, Marukawa Masato stumbled and was about to fall when Masamune hurriedly caught him.

"Are you okay?"

"Sorry, I haven't been sleeping well these past few days."

"Oh... I see. Please be careful."

"You're too kind, oh..."

Marukawa Masato sighed unconsciously. Musashino's previous anime six years ago was too bad, and coupled with years of mismanagement, the company was facing a major financial crisis.

If he could, he really didn't want to sell his life's work, but the other party adopted a forced acquisition plan, and resistance would only cause unnecessary turmoil.

Now that things have come to this, all we can do is hope that the new president won't be too bad.

"This is Musashino's conference room. Meetings are usually held here. Please wait a moment."

"clear."

After waiting for about five or six minutes, many men and women came in from outside.

Everyone was secretly observing Masamune and his companion, but no one spoke, making the atmosphere somewhat heavy.

"Mr. Hayase, these are all the main creators of Musashino's last anime."

"Let me introduce you. This is the animation director, Seiichi Kinoshita."

A portly man wearing glasses raised his hand and sighed:

"I'm called an animation director, but I haven't worked on a TV animation in a long time."

"The last animated work was 'Bouncing Paradise' six years ago. That work was a complete failure. Fortunately, it wasn't recently made and wasn't rated by the gods, otherwise it would definitely have been punished."

Chapter Three: Anime Project - Masamune-kun's Revenge

The last animated work was six years ago, and it was a failure?

Masamune really didn't know what expression to make, so he could only smile awkwardly and follow Marukawa Masato's introduction to the next person.

"Don't worry about it, failure is the mother of success."

"Mr. Hayase, this is Production Manager Yutaka Honda."

As Marukawa introduced him, another man, whose physique was similar to Kinoshita Seiichi's but who wasn't wearing glasses, nodded in acknowledgment and greeted him:

"I am Honda Yutaka. Since the failure of 'Bouncing Paradise' six years ago, Musashino has not received any commissions to produce TV animation."

"In these six years, I can only get some small jobs."

"However, our skills haven't diminished in the slightest. As long as we can get decent work, we'll definitely be able to regroup. What happened six years ago was just... sigh..."

In the end, he just sighed.

They were worried that everyone would be looked down upon by the new president because of the failure six years ago, and they were also worried that he, an amateur, would give unsolicited advice and cause trouble later.

All the worries were condensed into a single sigh.

"This is animation director Rinko Ogasawara. She is highly skilled and one of the pillars of Musashino," Masato Marukawa continued.

Hello (X2)

After the two nodded to each other, Masamune's gaze shifted to the next person:

"This is Yuka Okitsu, the general affairs manager of Musashino, who is in charge of managing the work site."
