I became a girl group idol for my sister.

As Fuyumichi Mirei thought about it, she couldn't help but clench her hands in excitement.

Chapter Forty-Four: Juniors and Seniors

Nanami Oda (played by Nana Miyamoto) arrived in front of the towering building with great excitement. Today was her first day working at Tokyo Fashion Creative Company.

She stepped into the elevator, glancing nervously at her heels to check if her shoes were on properly. Then she gently tugged at her skirt, trying to cover her thighs as much as possible.

After finishing all that, she took out a mirror and looked at her face briefly. She saw her cheeks flushed slightly from nervousness and excitement, which made her take a deep breath and mutter to herself.

"Don't be nervous! You've worked so hard for four years to get to where you wanted to be, so you have to study hard!"

Starting four years ago, due to some personal reasons, she went from not wanting to go to the university she was admitted to and planning to work instead, to finally choosing to go to school, all because she wanted to work here.

She studied for four years, and now, it's finally time to realize her dream.

Just then, the elevator suddenly stopped, and a woman walked in. This woman looked to be about the same height as Nanami Oda, but if you looked at her feet, you could tell that she was wearing platform shoes.

This woman looks very mature, and she is dressed very well. Compared to Nanami Oda's outfit, which still has a youthful feel, she exudes a mature beauty.

When she saw someone in the elevator, she smiled and nodded slightly as a greeting. When Oda Nanami saw this person, she smiled nervously in response, then stood up straight, like a student facing a teacher's inspection.

The elevator stopped on the thirtieth floor. The woman got out, and Nanami Oda quickly followed her out, which surprised the woman.

"May I ask what brings you here?" she asked.

"Hello, I'm here to work today. I'm a newly hired employee!" Nanami Oda said quickly, her eyes filled with excitement and nervousness as she looked at the woman. "You're an employee of Tokyo Fashion Creative Company, right?"

“That’s right, my name is Nanami Hase. So we’ll be colleagues from now on. Please take care of me.” Nanami Hase (played by Ogiko Higashi) said to Nanami Oda with a smile.

When faced with her senior colleague, Nanami Oda quickly greeted her, "I'm Nanami Oda, and I look forward to your guidance!"

After saying goodbye to the other party, Oda Nanami went to the place where she needed to report, which was where the head of the publicity department was.

The head of the publicity department was a middle-aged man whose hair was clearly in crisis. His name was Matsushita Ninosuke. When Matsushita Ninosuke saw Oda Nanami, he stood up and led the way in a very enthusiastic manner.

"Come with me, I'll take you to the office. After all, you're part of our publicity department, so you'll be very busy from now on."

"Um... Is the publicity department very busy?" Nanami Oda asked cautiously.

"It's usually fine, I can leave work on time, but on some special days it gets very busy and I have to work overtime until six or seven in the afternoon," Matsushita Ninosuke said, pointing ahead: "You'll be working there from now on. If you have any questions, you can come to me. Don't pretend to know what you don't, that's very important."

"Yes, section chief."

Tokyo Fashion Creative Company is a design firm. The internal work environment is not cramped and rigid; instead, it incorporates unique designs in many places.

For example, the desk is not rectangular, but has obvious waves. Combined with the green plants next to it and excellent lighting, the whole work area looks very spacious and comfortable.

"Hmm, very good. Oh, right!" Matsushita Ninosuke suddenly seemed to remember something: "I'm usually quite busy, so if you can't find me..."

He looked around: "Hey? Where's Nanami?"

“Nanami?” Oda Nanami remembered the person she met in the elevator, who introduced himself as Hanase Nanami.

Thinking of this, she quickly asked, "Is Hanase-senpai also in the publicity department?"

"You already know each other?" Matsushita Ninosuke looked at the newcomers in front of him with some surprise.

"I met him in the elevator. He was a very kind senior!"

“She’s quite kind,” Matsushita Ninosuke nodded. “And she’s from our department, so she’s very experienced. There’s definitely no problem having her mentor you.”

"Section Chief, is there anything I can help you with?" A familiar and pleasant voice came along with the footsteps. Oda Nanami turned around and saw the familiar figure behind her. The other person had obviously noticed her as well, and looked surprised.

"Nanami, come here for a second, I have a tough task for you!" Matsushita Ninosuke waved his hand and pointed at Oda Nanami: "Come on, get to know her, she's a new member of our department, please help take care of her and teach her about work."

After saying that, Matsushita Ninosuke added, "Oh, right, take her to get her computer and phone. She can't work without them!"

"Ok."

"Then I'll go first, I'll leave it to you. Her seat happens to be here, at the same table as you."

As Matsushita Ninosuke left, Hasegawa Nanami smiled at Oda Nanami and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to pick up your computer and phone first."

"A cell phone?" Nanami Oda was a little confused. She knew that the company gave out computers and such, but why would they give out cell phones too?

"Because of the company's philosophy, your personal phone is for personal use, while the phone provided by the company is mainly for work purposes. You can choose to turn it off after get off work!" Nanami Hasegawa explained with a smile. "So if there's anything related to overtime, we'll usually let you know in advance. There's no chance of us calling you to come back and work overtime, so you can rest assured!"

"Is that how it is?" Nanami Oda looked surprised, then asked excitedly, "Senior, could you tell me about my future work?"

“Sure.” Nanami Haze nodded and continued, “The main job of the publicity department is to promote the company’s new products or designs, for example, on Instagram. By the way, you should have an Instagram account, right?”

"Instagram? You mean Instagram? I have that." Nanami Oda said, a hint of doubt on her face, her eyes fixed on Nanami Hase. "Is it useful for work?"

Looking into the eyes of her junior, Nanami Hase inexplicably thought of her pet cat, which liked to look at her with that same gaze when it clung to her: "It's just for some promotion. After all, there are more young people among the users of Instagram, like you. Our PR department needs to figure out what young people like!"

“I understand, senpai!” Nanami Oda nodded immediately, then smiled, “But what you said just now was a bit strange!”

"Strange? What's strange?"

"Even though you're quite young, you still specifically mentioned being like me!"

“I’m definitely older than you, even if we’re only a year or two apart. Our habits are all different!” Nanami Hatsune’s cheeks flushed slightly at these words, and she quickly retorted.

Nanami Oda stuck out her tongue: "I was just telling the truth!"

After helping the other person collect the computer and phone, Nanami Haze went to the bathroom, washed her hands briefly, looked at herself in the mirror, and smiled.

Am I considered a young person?

The other person's words filled her with uncontrollable joy. She touched her phone in her pocket, hesitated for a moment, and then didn't take it out.

Oda Nanami returned to her seat alone, while Section Chief Matsushita Ninosuke brought in a document. Noticing that Hase Nanami was not there, he said to Oda Nanami, "You two are about the same age, you should be able to get along well."

"About the same age?" Nanami Oda was taken aback at first, then smiled and nodded, "I understand, Section Chief. As expected, you're quite young!"

“Because I graduated from a junior college and have been working here for four years, I’m only a few years older than you,” Matsushita Ninosuke said. “He’s my senior at work, but we’re friends in our daily lives, so don’t be too stressed.”

After saying that, he pointed to himself and said, "Just like me, you don't need to be too restrained."

"Okay, Chief!"

After starting work, the day went by quickly. When it was time to leave work, Nanami Oda thought about saying goodbye to her senior, only to see him talking on the phone in the corner.

His expression didn't look good.

She hesitated for a moment, but then quietly went up to them and overheard a conversation.

"I'm at the company."

"Okay, I got it. Have fun at the class reunion; it's a rare treat to have so many people together."

"I'm fine on my own. How about the next date? The usual place? I know, after all, you really like going there."

Nanami looked somewhat disappointed, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes. These expressions were natural and revealed that what she said was different from what she was thinking. She probably had some dissatisfaction with her boyfriend, but she had never said it, or perhaps saying it wouldn't have changed anything, so she gave up.

So, the senior has a boyfriend...

Nanami Oda pondered whether to leave or let the other person discover that she was there. After hesitating for a moment, she took a few steps back and then walked forward again.

"Hase-senpai, I know a really good yakiniku (grilled meat) restaurant, wanna go?!"

Chapter 45 The Explosive Popularity of the First Episode

Have you guys watched TWS's new drama, "Because of Love, There's No Problem"?! I felt like I was going to die after just watching the first episode!

[You're talking about the drama starring Nana-chan and Ogi-chan, right? It's described as a romantic comedy, but there's no male lead yet. Could it be that Nana-chan is the male lead?]

[Generally speaking, when these two are together, the dominant/submissive role is clear, but the dominant one is clearly Ogiko-chan!]

[No, no, no, judging from the plot now, it's obvious that Nana is in the dominant position. I have a feeling that based on what was shown in the first episode, it's clearly a story of a junior with ill intentions and an innocent senior.]

[What do you mean by a junior with ill intentions! This junior clearly stood up for their senior!]

Now that you mention it, I feel that Nanami Oda, played by Nana-chan, joined this company with a strong ulterior motive, and she even approached Nanami Hase, played by Ogiko-chan, so quickly. It's highly likely that her purpose in joining this company is to get close to Nanami Hase!

[However, it's surprising that Nanami Hase has a boyfriend. This is quite an unexpected plot point. Could it be that the next part of the story involves Nanami breaking up with her boyfriend, leaving her feeling lonely, and then being taken advantage of by Nana-chan... cough cough, by Nanami Oda?]

Here's the pen, you write the story!

[No, I object! Why can't it be Nana-chan who directly steals his boyfriend?! That guy clearly has something going on, and all Nana-chan needs to do is show concern and care for him, making him understand that only Nana-chan is truly good to him!]

[Damn it, do you want to start a war?! Nana belongs to Apple!]

【I, Miyu, will never admit defeat!】

You've both lost; both of them have starred in TV dramas!

[So what if it's made into a TV series? I, the All-Star party member, will definitely not lose!]

After just one episode aired, online discussions about "Because of Love, There's No Problem" skyrocketed, and the forums featuring Higashi Hisako Ogiko and Miyamoto Nana were flooded with them.

And in many places online, people are also discussing this TV series.

It's clear that the release of this TV series generated a huge amount of buzz.

Inside TWS TV station, the station manager, Yusuke Mita, was looking at the report that Mirei Fuyumichi had given him.

Looking at the data above, his eyes widened involuntarily.

"A viewership rating of 11%?!"

"Yes, the viewership rating reached 11%!" Fuyumichi Mirei nodded quickly, confirming what she had written.

After receiving confirmation, Mita Yu was still somewhat incredulous. He quickly took out his phone and frantically searched for the statistics, only to find that it was indeed true; the viewership rating last night had indeed reached 11%.
