Crossover Anime: The Heroine is in Trouble? I Take Advantage of the Situation

……

evening.

When Shiwa and Eriri returned home from school, this was the scene they saw.

The coffee table, the floor, and even the empty space next to the sofa in the living room were piled with various business documents and professional books.

"Equity Incentive Practice", "Principles of Marketing", "Monetary Banking"...

The thick books, like small mountains, turned the living room into a battlefield of knowledge.

Several notebooks were spread out, densely covered with writing and diagrams.

Meanwhile, the culprit was curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.

The smiles on the two girls' faces froze.

They looked at each other, and each saw a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.

"He didn't study all day, did he?" Eriri exclaimed, speechless.

She put down her schoolbag, carefully walked around the books on the floor, and went to the sofa. Looking at Seiji Fujiwara's sleeping face, her expression was complicated.

Shi Yu didn't say anything, but silently walked forward, bent down and picked up a document from the coffee table.

That was an evaluation report on Genesis's existing outsourced teams.

The above analysis, using highly professional and sophisticated terminology, details the technical strengths, personnel composition, and potential risks of each team, and provides specific solutions for their integration into the new company structure.

The precision and foresight revealed between the lines are completely unlike what an 18-year-old high school student born in 1960 could write.

"This guy..." Shi Yu murmured to herself, her heart filled with turmoil.

I thought it was just a small-scale operation, but I didn't expect it to be a big company right away.

Just then, Seiji Fujiwara, who was on the sofa, seemed to be awakened by their commotion and groggily opened his eyes.

"Hmm...you guys are back?" He yawned, sat up, rubbed his sleepy eyes, picked up his phone from the side, and checked the time.

Seemingly remembering something, he immediately went to the balcony and closed the glass door.

"Hello, is this President Tanaka? It's me, Fujiwara."

The call connected, and he began the conversation with his back to the two girls.

The sound came through the glass door, somewhat muffled.

"I have some initial ideas about the company's future departmental structure."

"First, the existing outsourcing teams need to be integrated to form an independent 'Animation Production Division'... Yes, I plan to invite Tatsuyuki Nagai, director of A-1 Pictures, to serve as the division manager... Second, we need an 'IP Copyright Operations Division' to specifically discover and acquire promising light novel and manga copyrights. Machida, editor-in-chief of Shinazugawa Bunko, can serve as our external consultant in this regard..."

"...There's also the 'Music Division' and the 'Overseas Distribution Division.' The structure needs to be set up as soon as possible. You can start looking for candidates, and I'll make the final decision."

Seiji Fujiwara's voice struck Utaha and Eriri's hearts like a heavy hammer.

"Business Units", "Copyright Operations", "Company Structure", "External Consultants"...

One by one, professional terms they had only heard in financial news flowed smoothly and naturally from Seiji Fujiwara's mouth.

He wasn't discussing some vague fantasy, but a concrete business plan!

Utaha and Eriri were both stunned.

They stood there, stunned and utterly astonished.

Soon, Seiji Fujiwara finished his phone call, opened the glass door, and turned back to the living room.

As soon as he entered, he saw two pairs of beautiful eyes filled with surprise and uncertainty, staring straight at him.

"What's wrong?" Seiji Fujiwara asked, amused.

"You...you're not kidding?" Eriri broke the silence first, her expression one of disbelief.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also stared intently at him, her deep, wine-red eyes filled with inquiry and surprise.

Seiji Fujiwara couldn't help but laugh at their adorably shocked expressions.

"Of course not." He shrugged and smiled. "Perfect timing. I have some things to take care of at the company tomorrow. You can take the morning off and come with me to see for yourselves."

"company?!"

"Your company?!"

The two girls exclaimed in unison, their voices rising an octave.

Have you found a venue and set up the structure so quickly?

That's incredibly efficient!

They surrounded her like two cats whose curiosity had been ignited, bombarding her with questions.

"what is going on?"

"Where did the company come from? What's its name?"

"When did you prepare it?"

What is your business scope?

Faced with their overflowing curiosity, Seiji Fujiwara simply waved his hand mysteriously, a familiar wicked smile on his face.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

After saying that, he ignored the two anxious women and walked towards the bathroom, leaving them with his back turned.

In the living room, only Shiyu and Eriri remained, staring at each other with wide eyes, their hearts feeling like they were being scratched by countless cat claws.

……

……

The next day, the weather was clear.

Sunlight streamed through the car window, illuminating Shiwa and Eriri, revealing two faces filled with curiosity.

They really did take leave.

Seiji Fujiwara drove there himself.

He wore a well-tailored beige casual suit with a plain white T-shirt underneath, and casually wore a low-key yet luxurious Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.

This mature yet sophisticated outfit, combined with his young and handsome face, creates a unique charm.

This behavior, so different from usual, made Shiwa in the passenger seat and Eriri in the back seat feel their hearts race for no reason.

It was as if they were seeing another side of this boy beyond his laziness for the first time.

"We...are we really going to your company?" Eriri was still a little incredulous. She leaned half her body over from the back seat and rested her head on the back of the driver's seat, whispering to confirm again.

Golden strands of hair fell down, gently brushing against Seiji Fujiwara's neck, causing a slight tickle.

"Otherwise what? Take you to the amusement park to ride the carousel?" Seiji Fujiwara looked ahead, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Who knows? That person's character isn't trustworthy at all," Shi Yu said with her arms crossed, giggling.

Seiji Fujiwara simply shrugged at this.

Soon, the car drove into the underground parking lot of a commercial building.

The three of them entered the elevator and went down to the first floor.

On the way, Eriri felt that her surroundings looked familiar, so she looked up.

I happened to see the metal plaque above the building entrance.

"[GenesisCreative Inc.]...Genesis Creative?"

She read it aloud without thinking, and her light blue eyes instantly widened in surprise.

"This... isn't this that very famous outsourcing company in the industry?! They handle the background art and post-production special effects for many animations!"

As a top-tier doujinshi artist in the industry, Eriri is very familiar with this name.

In the eyes of industry insiders, "Genesis" is a legend, known for its almost abnormally high quality and unbelievable efficiency, making it the "behind-the-scenes hero" that all production companies dream of.

However, this company operates with extreme discretion, never giving interviews or revealing its secrets, and is shrouded in mystery.

Although Shiyu is not an illustrator, as a bestselling light novel author, she is quite knowledgeable about industry trends.

Looking at the detached office building in front of her, which was clearly very valuable, and thinking of "Genesis's" illustrious reputation in the industry, she was just as shocked as Eriri.

"So..." She looked at Seiji Fujiwara, her face full of surprise, "The company you're talking about, is this place?"

"Otherwise what?" Seiji Fujiwara's smile remained unchanged, as if he were talking about something extremely ordinary.

"Where...where did this company come from?" Eriri felt her brain completely shut down, a million questions swirling in her mind.

"It's an inheritance left by a distant relative overseas. The formalities were just completed yesterday," Fujiwara Seiji explained casually, using a prepared statement.

"An inheritance from...a distant relative?!"

The two girls exchanged a glance, and both saw intense envy, jealousy, and resentment in each other's eyes.

This kind of plot, which only appears in novels and TV dramas, actually happened right before my eyes!

This is even more outrageous than winning the lottery jackpot!

While they were still in a state of great shock and unable to fully process the information,

The heavy, sensor-activated glass doors of the company building slid open to both sides.

Kenji Tanaka, who had just been appointed president yesterday, came out quickly with several department heads dressed in business suits.

"Good morning, boss!" Kenji Tanaka led the group in a respectful 90-degree bow, his voice loud and full of energy.

His gaze then fell on the two girls beside Seiji Fujiwara.

Upon seeing their stunning looks and exceptional personalities, a knowing glint flashed in the eyes of this middle-aged man who had seen it all in the business world.

The boss's woman!

He remained outwardly calm, but his eyes glanced at a secretary in her thirties with impeccable makeup and a capable demeanor, and he gave her a meaningful look.

The secretary understood immediately, retreated behind the crowd, and took out her phone to make a call.

"Boss, and ladies, welcome to Genesis. Please follow me."

Surrounded by Kenji Tanaka and a group of company executives, Seiji Fujiwara and his entourage entered the company premises like kings inspecting their territory.

The spacious, bright, and high-ceilinged lobby, the futuristic design and decor, and the posters of popular animated films that they were all very familiar with (some of which Genesis was involved in the production of) hanging on the walls...

All of this is constantly challenging Utaha and Eriri's understanding.

In this process.

Three female employees were contacted and quietly joined the accompanying team.

They will be responsible for receiving the two young ladies who are with the boss.

……

Along the way...

Whether it's the illustrators and modelers working diligently in front of their monitors in the open-plan office area, or the staff and administrators hurrying by with documents in the corridor, they all immediately stop what they're doing, stand up from their seats, and bow to him in unison when they see Seiji Fujiwara.

"Hi boss!"

Respectful greetings echoed throughout the quiet office space, forming a wave of reverence.

Seiji Fujiwara simply nodded slightly, his steps steady, and walked straight ahead.

Utaha and Eriri, who were following behind him, felt their cheeks burning and even hesitated to walk.

They had never experienced anything like this before. Being stared at by dozens, even hundreds, of awe-inspiring gazes, and treated as "the woman next to the boss," felt both novel and shameful, and carried a hint of... vanity that they themselves were unwilling to admit.

After touring the area, the group arrived at the core conference room located on the top floor of the building.

Pushing open the heavy frosted glass door, the room was already filled with the company's current core members.

Some of them are visual effects supervisors with gray hair and thick glasses, who look like top-notch technical experts; some are shrewd and capable financial managers with a strong presence; and some are music supervisors full of artistic flair... Each and every one of them is an elite in the industry.

When Seiji Fujiwara appeared at the door.

Everyone in the conference room immediately stood up and bowed to him in unison, their movements so synchronized as if they had rehearsed.

"boss!"

Seiji Fujiwara calmly walked to the head seat and sat down, gesturing for everyone else to sit as well.
