Anime Production: Starting by Healing the Audience

"Don't you dare tell anyone about this. Take it to your grave!" Yang Li said angrily and embarrassedly, putting on a fierce expression as she glared at Fang Zheng. "Just consider it a favor owed to you by this great beauty."

"Really?"

Fang Zheng's eyes lit up as he looked at Yang Li and stroked his chin.

"Y-You'd better not get any wrong ideas. If your demands are excessive, I won't agree to them!"

Seeing Fang Zheng's lecherous grin and textbook hooligan expression, Yang Li instinctively took two steps back. Her high heels clicked crisply against the TV station building's floor.

"What are you thinking?" Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at Yang Li's guarded expression. Were 3D beauties really better than 2D girls?

"You really like Shiru?"

Fang Zheng watched Yang Li carefully take out a document folder and gently place the poster inside. Her movements were so cautious that it seemed the poster would shatter with even the slightest force.

Watching Yang Li stash it away like a hamster hoarding food, Fang Zheng's mouth twitched.

A single poster has you like this. If I start releasing figurines later, won't you be flying into the sky?

"So what if I do?"

Perhaps because she had put the poster into her briefcase, Yang Li regained her confidence. Thinking about how pathetic she had looked just now, she inexplicably found Fang Zheng especially irritating.

It was all because of this bastard in front of her that she had embarrassed herself so badly!

"???"

Fang Zheng looked suspiciously at Yang Li, who had changed her face without warning. Was this woman suffering from split personality disorder?

However, Fang Zheng did not dwell on it. The urgent matter was winning Yang Li over.

"Would you be willing to come work for me as a temp?"

"Huh?" Yang Li stared at Fang Zheng in disbelief and pointed at her own nose. "You want me to work as a temp for you?"

When Fang Zheng actually nodded, Yang Li's first thought was, Has this bastard got a fever?

"No, do you know what position I hold at the TV station? Why would I give up such an easy, well-paid job to be your temp? I'd have to be crazy!"

Fang Zheng slapped away Yang Li's hand as she tried to touch his forehead, then looked at her teasingly. "You really won't come?"

"No. Not even if you beat me to death!"

Yang Li curled her lips. She admitted that she liked anime, liked Akame ga Kill!, and liked Shiru as a character. She also greatly admired Fang Zheng.

But none of that was enough to make her give up her comfortable job for a temporary position. Any normal person would make the same choice, right?

"Unless I'm an idiot, there's no way I'd give up my status as the TV station's top host to become your temp!"

Seeing Yang Li's resolute expression and hearing her decisive tone, Fang Zheng shrugged.

Many people in this world could not escape the "so tempting" law. The higher and fiercer the flag they planted, the quicker and louder the slap to their face would come.

"What a pity. I thought your voice would be perfect for dubbing Shiru." Fang Zheng's face was filled with regret as he turned and slowly walked toward the door.

As he walked, he added, "Since Miss Yang thinks my little place is beneath her and refuses this job, I'll have to find someone else. What a shame, though. Shiru, Shiru..."

Watching Fang Zheng's swaying back, Yang Li stood there as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue.

What had she just heard?

Dubbing Shiru? Dubbing her beloved Shiru?!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Yang Li felt her heart begin to race uncontrollably. That was Shiru, her favorite moe girl with glasses. If she could dub Shiru, perhaps giving up her position as a TV host would not be so unacceptable.

Besides, she had earned enough over the years to last her.

Please give this Failed Author your support, Big Shots! I'd be immensely grateful! Thank you!!!*

Fang Zheng slowly walked toward the entrance of the TV station building, silently counting, One, two, three...

When he reached six, a crisp shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Stop!"

Hearing Yang Li's shout, Fang Zheng calmly turned around and looked at her with a teasing expression. "Miss Yang, is there anything else? If not, I'm in a hurry to go back and find a voice actress for Shiru."

Hearing Fang Zheng's words and seeing that punchable expression, how could Yang Li not know that he had her completely figured out?

Her chest rose and fell violently, making Fang Zheng's heart jump in fear, as if the world might collapse the next moment.

"I'm an idiot!"

Yang Li gritted her teeth and screamed at Fang Zheng with all her strength. The TV station staff passing by all stared at their top host in disbelief, their faces filled with shock.

Fang Zheng also noticed something strange about the surroundings. He stared dumbfoundedly at Yang Li as ten thousand Grass Mud Horses galloped through his heart.

This beauty is way too committed!

At that moment, Yang Li suddenly wanted to cry. Thinking of what she had just said—Unless I'm an idiot, there's no way I'd give up my status as the TV station's top host to become your temp—the slap to her face had arrived so suddenly.

It was all because of this hateful man in front of her!

Taking a deep breath, Yang Li walked up to Fang Zheng. "You don't need to find anyone else. I'll take the job of dubbing Shiru."

As she spoke, Yang Li pointed at the floor beneath them. "Do you know where this is? Modu TV Station. I'm the top host here, professionally trained in broadcasting. Who could be more suitable for this job than me?"

Looking at the somewhat proud Yang Li, Fang Zheng deeply agreed.

There was no need to think about how fierce the competition for jobs at a TV station was. For Yang Li to reach this position at such a young age, if it was not through some crooked means, then she truly had real ability.

She really did have reason to be proud. That was an undeniable fact.

"I'm going to hand in my resignation right now. Wait for me!"

As if afraid Fang Zheng would change his mind, Yang Li turned and ran toward the station director's office as soon as she finished speaking.

Hearing Yang Li's words, Fang Zheng froze for a moment before hurrying after her and grabbing her hand.

"What are you doing? Are you backing out?!"

When Yang Li saw Fang Zheng grab her, her first reaction was not to shake off his filthy hand, but to worry that he would not let her dub Shiru.

Why had he never noticed that this girl was so reckless before?

Fang Zheng sighed helplessly, black lines covering his forehead. "Miss, did you listen carefully to what I said?"

"I said I wanted you to dub Shiru. Dubbing won't take up much of your time. It's temporary work!"

"Do you understand what temporary work means?!"

Fang Zheng was getting a little exasperated. She had such a good job, yet she was ready to quit it at the drop of a hat. Was this really how she pursued her dreams?

Her courage was commendable, but her stupidity was beyond saving!

"If you quit on impulse, have you thought about what you'll do after you finish dubbing Shiru? Without a stable job and income, are you going to drink the northwest wind?"

Yang Li looked at Fang Zheng's fierce expression, and her own momentum weakened. Lowering her head, she said softly, "Why are you being so fierce? I haven't resigned yet. Besides, I've already made enough money. Even if I never worked again, I'd still have enough to spend."

"Uh..."

Hearing Yang Li's words, Fang Zheng was left speechless. So she was actually a little rich lady.

"Anyway, you'd better think carefully about resigning. Don't come looking for me later to settle scores after the fact!"

After saying that, Fang Zheng left her his contact information and turned to leave.

Yang Li stood there staring at Fang Zheng's back for a while. After a long time, only when his figure disappeared through the building entrance did she let out a soft laugh.

In an instant, the entire first-floor lobby of the TV station seemed to burst into bloom, becoming much brighter.

"He's young, but he really knows how to care about people."

Thinking of Fang Zheng's handsome face and how he had achieved so much at such a young age, becoming famous early, she wondered how many women's hearts he would steal in the future.

"What am I thinking about?" Yang Li shook her head and lowered it to hug her briefcase tightly. Inside was her favorite Shiru poster.

"Shiru, my Shiru~!"

Yang Li hummed an unknown tune, her steps light. The crisp clicks of her high heels against the marble floor put people in a good mood.

Normally, she felt at least a little tired after work, but today, her body felt unusually light.

Meanwhile, after Fang Zheng returned home, he first opened his computer and posted a recruitment ad on the ACG Community, then posted another hiring notice on a professional recruitment website.

Only after finishing all that did Fang Zheng stretch.

"Ah, today was exhausting. It was even more tiring than drawing storyboards all day." Fang Zheng shut down his computer, stood up, picked up his pajamas, and walked toward the bathroom.

"I really am not suited for this kind of social work. Maybe I was born to stay cooped up in the 2D world."

Fang Zheng laughed at himself. After attending an award ceremony and then a program interview, he was exhausted. He decided to give himself a break and not work tonight, instead getting some proper rest.

Fang Zheng washed up and went to bed, entering dreamland relaxed and unburdened. But online, things exploded once again.

Star Dream's author releases another New Work!

Ultimate Healing Mentor arrives with the explosive new work Akame ga Kill!!

Big Shot Fang creates the ACG Community; fans say the registration questions are terrifyingly difficult!

The super-hyped action anime Akame ga Kill! is about to premiere!

Following the Modu TV Station interview, news about Fang Zheng exploded online once more. The buzz even surpassed the impact Star Dream had caused a few days earlier.

Some people even joked that the usually serious TV station interview had changed flavor in Big Shot Fang's hands. Its Art Style had abruptly shifted, bluntly declaring that Fang Zheng was awesome!

Forums and message boards fell once again, flooded with discussions about Fang Zheng's new work Akame ga Kill!. Even Weibo once again became Fang Zheng's personal promotional board.

Some viewers who had not yet gone to sleep saw those eye-catching headlines and immediately opened Weibo. But after reading the content, every one of them was furious.

"No pictures, so what the hell are you talking about!"

"Damn it, couldn't you at least leave a picture? Even Big Shot Fang knows to attach images when he posts on Weibo!"
