I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Conference Room 1-A, Tokyo Animation Studios.

"Due to personal reasons, I was not able to work on the anime production in the past three weeks, but for the next week, I will participate actively in the production." Theo declared with a calm smile as he looked at the animators in front of him.

The animators got a little nervous when they heard that, after all, who would not be nervous if their boss would inspect their work?

"I will visit all departments, in the next few days." Theo added calmly.

Since his studio opened, he didn't have the time to visit the multiple departments and productions inside the studio, which was unacceptable for him as he wanted to participate actively in his anime production.

He also wanted to know what happened on a normal day of work in the studio.

Everyone became even more nervous when they heard that.

"Now, We have another announcement, Ryoko?" Theo called with a gentle voice.

"Yes, boss. We do have an announcement." Ryoko replied with a light chuckle.

The team leaders became surprised when they heard that as they could not imagine what announcement it was.

"As all of you know it. We are heading to the end of the year, and there are the New Year's Celebrations." Ryoko started with a patient voice.

"We decided to give you all 4 days of holidays for the New Year's Celebrations. Starting on December 31st, Thursday, and ending on January 3rd, Sunday. The work will be resumed on January 4th." Ryoko informed with a smile.

And as soon as her words sank in, the animators had bewildered faces as they couldn't believe that an animation studio would give so many free days to their employees. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Customarily, the majority of the animation studios would only give 1 day off for the New Year's Celebrations, January 1st.

And that was only because the Sakura Abode Government would punish harshly the companies who opened on the first day of the year.

The government took the New Year's Traditions very seriously, so anyone who was caught breaking this law would suffer heavy sanctions.

This was the only reason that stopped the animation studios from opening on that day, so the animators from the Tokyo Studio also imagined that they would only get one day off.

After all, that was the normal practice, but once again they were reminded that this studio was entirely different from the others.

They would get 4 days off!

They almost couldn't believe what they heard.

"And don't worry, your salaries will not be reduced because of these days off. You might lose some money because you won't be able to work overtime, but your base salary will not be reduced." Ryoko explained when she saw some team leaders getting worried.

Just like she expected, the animators heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that, they would rather work on those days if their salary was reduced.

But when they realized that they would get 4 days off without any punishment, the animators started to get excited.

Even though they would lose the overtime hours money from those days, they could compensate for that later.

The important thing was that they would be able to enjoy their New Year's Celebration without any worry!

They were so happy that they almost couldn't control their excitement.

Theo looked at the excited faces of his employees and nodded in approval.

He deemed it extremely necessary to give some days off to his employees as he knew well that nobody liked to work on holidays, he just needed to remember his last life where nobody liked to work on Christmas, it was the same thing here.

If he forced his employees, they would get dissatisfied and their efficiency would decrease.

Even though the deadline for the anime release was extremely close, he still decided to give them these days off.

He hadn't any doubt that he would be able to finish the anime in time, so why not give his animators some days off?

Theo would give them more days off, but 4 days was the maximum that he could give.

Actually, every company that Theo owned would implement holidays in January.

The Spark Restaurant would get half a month of holidays.

Tokyo Studios would get 4 days of holiday.

Fuji Co. would receive 4 days of vacation.

BlueCloud would receive 2 days off.

And the Umbrella Corporation would receive 4 days off.

Every company had different timeframes because they DID operate differently.

The restaurant could be closed at any time, so it was not a problem to be closed for half a month.

But the other companies were totally different, the Tkyo Studios could not be closed for a long time because they had a deadline to follow.

The Fuji Jump was a different story, as the company was separated between the office employees and the printing factory employees. The office employees would get 4 days off, but the printing factory employees would only get 1 day off.

That was because the mangas and novels printing could not be stopped, and just the pause of operations for New Year's Day would affect their monthly profit. While the office employees could stop working for a while and the monthly profits would not be affected.

Theo hated to do that, but he didn't have any other choice as he needed that printing factory in full operation 24/7.

It was only with profits from the Fuji Jump that Theo was able to implement his projects.

The BlueCloud faced the same thing, the shop was a coffee shop with the same model as a fast-food restaurant. And no fast-food restaurant would be closed for more than a day.

Theo was already a good person to give an extra day to his employees.

That way BlueCloud would only be closed for 2 days.

And the Umbrella Corporation was another story, as the company that managed 3 other companies, could not be closed for long as they needed to manage the other companies.

Especially because they needed to process the end of the year reports and payments.

Things like tax deductions and others.

After all, just like any other company, Theo's companies also needed to pay tax over the profits they earned.

And the Umbrella Corporation needed to calculate and make reports about these things, and they needed to do the same thing for the 3 companies they managed.

That's why the Umbrella Corporation was so important, and why they would only get 4 days of holidays.

That resumed how the holidays would go for Theo's companies, but the interesting thing was that the majority of the bosses of these companies would have a half-month vacation.

Theo, Sam, and Sayuri would be on vacation until January 11th.

Only Ryoko and Haruka would not do the same.

Theo didn't call Haruka for the trip because he was not that close to the guy, but Theo did call Ryoko to come with them to the Heart Islands.

Although Ryoko was tempted, in the end, she still decided to stay in Elffire City to supervise the anime production.

She thought that at least one boss should stay back, after all, they were in a critical moment of the production.

Theo thought it was a pity, but he respected her decision and effort.

It felt good to have such a dedicated employee.

The animators had their eyes shining as plans for the New Year's Celebrations went through their minds.

They couldn't wait!
