Top celebrity brother universally disliked online? His wealthy older sister pampers him!

On the very night Qin Chaoyue told him that she was his biological sister, Jiang Lingye accepted a large number of shares.

Jiang Lingye himself did not want these things.

But Qin Chaoyue's gaze clearly told him then and there—accepting these things would make his sister happy.

Jiang Lingye accepted it.

He... actually didn't quite understand it either.

The percentages for each item aren't very high, but that doesn't mean Qin Chaoyue is giving too little. A quick search reveals each of these companies is a behemoth; Jiang Lingye doesn't need to participate in any meetings or decisions, nor does he need to expend any brainpower. He can simply lie there and money will flow in continuously every year.

There is only one exception.

After carefully examining the contents, Jiang Lingye discovered—

Xingcan only fell into his sister's hands in the last few days. He controls 70% of the shares and is the largest shareholder!

Furthermore, because Qin Chaoyue currently does not have any industries directly related to entertainment and culture incubation, the company's future plans are currently blank.

Such a large company is still there, proceeding according to the original plan, but a major project is currently at a standstill because no one has made a decision. Every day it sits there is another day of losing money!

Jiang Lingye is, after all, a part of the entertainment industry, and through his exposure to it, he should understand these basic principles to some extent.

Now he asked...

Qin Chaoyue: "I've looked at it. The agency you've signed with is a complete rip-off. A lawyer will be sending someone to remove your contract from there in the next couple of days..."

Qin Chaoyue had already given the signal, and now Jiang Lingye was sitting across from her at a table not far away.

With a simple glance up, the two can converse face-to-face.

"But I signed a full ten-year contract back then. Early termination would incur huge penalties, plus a 1+1 clause, meaning the other party has a limited right to renew the contract..."

Jiang Lingye's voice gradually faded. Well, for his sister, this amount of money probably wasn't a huge sum.

But he didn't want to give it away to others for nothing.

"And my limited-time group still has about a month left before it disbands..."

Qin Chaoyue looked up at the boy and said, "You're really young, yet you dare to sign anything."

Jiang Lingye lowered his head: "I didn't know back then, and no one helped me check..."

Qin Chaoyue actually knew that Jiang Lingye had been forced into a corner by his "family" at that time, which was why...

"The waste regulations," Qin Chaoyue said casually. "My legal team will contact them, and we'll just have to wait for the results. At the latest, we'll have a result within this week."

Take Qin Chaoyue's team of top-notch lawyers as an example—they've never fought such an easy battle before!

What's the difference between this and using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

"Be more careful in the future. You're not an adult yet. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, your guardian, my assistant, or Aunt Ya."

At this age, having to rely on his older sister to resolve troubles is both frustrating and... blissful for Jiang Lingye.

They all obediently followed the instructions: "Mmm."

"As for the regiment you're in..." Qin Chaoyue paused, then asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Jiang Lingye's Adam's apple bobbed.

Qin Chaoyue had some ideas: "Actually, it's not impossible for you to leave early. Didn't one of your teammates leave the group early and graduate?"

Jiang Lingye: "..."

Jiang Lingye thought of Zhuo Xi, who was currently in jail... Could they not back down?!

Jiang Lingye lowered his gaze, as if he was seriously considering something: "Perhaps we shouldn't withdraw prematurely."

"Anyway, it won't be long before they disband. There should be at least one last performance and some other miscellaneous activities. I want to stay with them until the very end."

Qin Chaoyue was looking at the boy.

The five members of the Burning boy band, regardless of the strength of their fan base, all receive some help or intervention from their companies, capital, or families, but her brother is different.

Back then, her younger brother was dragged to the audition for a talent show by himself without any idea. He clearly couldn't sing or dance, but he got a vote just because of his face.

Because those people concluded that even if he was completely incompetent, his good looks alone were enough to make those sardines nervous and scared.

What the audience wants to see is excitement, tension, drama, and the most crucial element of any boy group audition—

Beauty.

As the saying goes, "Humans are driven by basic human needs such as food and sex."

Unexpectedly, the catfish that was thrown in was not only good-looking but also very talented. Even though the capital repeatedly suppressed it, the fans became more and more fond of it and more and more loyal to it.

Finally, Jiang Lingye is undoubtedly the top-ranked member chosen by the people!

Nearly a year has passed, and even away from the camera and the stage, the boy's face is still striking.

Qin Chaoyue could easily see through Jiang Lingye's thoughts—although many fans had abandoned him when faced with rumors, Jiang Lingye still remembered the days before his sister appeared, when only those fans accompanied him in the darkness.

Qin Chaoyue didn't know what to say.

Should we say that Jiang Lingye has a brain or not?

If you have a brain... you say you understand her and that she likes him, yet you easily believe others and then give up on him;

But to call it mindless... Qin Chaoyue thought about how those people continued to support her younger brother holding up signs that read, "For you, I'd fight the whole world!"... well...

It's actually quite difficult to maintain that composure.

Qin Chaoyue couldn't help but cover her face.

Ultimately, it's all Jiang Lingye's fault for not explaining and not having a mouth!

However, thinking about her future demotion, Qin Chaoyue wondered if her younger brother was also affected by the "plot" and the "halo of the protagonist's surroundings being less intelligent."

It's okay to run away.

Fans' actions, idols pay the price.

To avoid these fans making a fuss and turning Jiang Lingye into a "law-abiding citizen" in another sense.

No matter what.

Jiang Lingye is a grateful and affectionate person.

"It's up to you, you decide."

Qin Chaoyue said, "Your original unfavorable contract will be transferred to Xingcan in advance, which will also make it easier for Yihui to argue about things in future schedules and activities."

Jiang Lingye is currently carrying two contracts.

At the very bottom, which is the invalid contract Qin Chaoyue just mentioned, is an agency contract signed with a small artist management company when I was young and naive. I was tricked into signing it when I was only sixteen years old before participating in the talent show.

The talent show that was so popular back then actually had a lot of tricks up its sleeve. Jiang Lingye was signed to a small company, which not only couldn't help him at all, but even held him back time and time again.

So back then, Jiang Lingye's fans could only boast about how their idol debuted entirely based on his own talent, and had absolutely nothing to do with the company behind him!

Afterwards, that small company was frequently trending on social media for being "slapped" (a derogatory term for being criticized), but it never ranked very high.

After all, the idol is still being held hostage by the other party, so the fans don't dare to jump too high or completely break off relations. It's good enough if they give them a nudge from time to time.

After Jiang Lingye debuted as the top center, his artist contract for that year was loaned to Yihui.

One layer upon another, each layer is exploitation.

Yihui is older, but judging from what it's been doing lately... well, it's pretty much the same, not much better either.

Over the course of nearly a year of collaboration, Yi Hui has done everything in his power to exploit and extract value from the limited-time group Burning.

They were well aware of the benefits behind the name "Jianglingye" and had tried countless times to poach this cash cow.

As mentioned before, the small company that tricked a 16-year-old into signing a contract is unethical. Unethical people are naturally cunning and not stupid.

Pulling on both sides.

In the end, Yi Hui decided that if he couldn't have it, he would destroy it. The small company had a mountain of gold and silver but limited capabilities. Those who envied or were jealous of Jiang Lingye, and who were either his teammates or rivals with whom he shared interests, were kicking him while he was down. In addition, there was a hidden force pushing things along...

Qin Chaoyue already had some guesses about that force.

This is what led Jianglingye to his current predicament.

It's not to say that becoming famous too early is entirely a bad thing, but for example, one needs to experience more, and someone must hold up a big enough umbrella to shield them from unnecessary storms during their growth.

Jiang Lingye: "Yeah. So, Xingcan's company..."

Qin Chaoyue interrupted him: "After the limited-time group disbands, where do you plan to go?"

Jiang Lingye was stunned for a moment.

He answered honestly, "Didn't you already make arrangements for me? First I'll study, then I can go farm..."

Qin Chaoyue: "Reading is not only an obligation, but also a process, a tool, a means to acquire knowledge, and a preparation before entering society, but it will never be your final goal. Have you ever heard of reading for the sake of reading? No, right?"

"As for farming... it's a low-cost lifestyle I'm proposing for you if you can't make it in the entertainment industry in the future, so you can live without studying now. Of course, the specifics will depend on your choice."

"As it stands, I don't think you're at all in a situation where you're 'completely unable to make a living' if you choose to farm in the future—"

Qin Chaoyue stretched her body and then showed Jiang Lingye the lengthy contents of the documents in front of her.

"I'm sorry, you'll have to go alone. I probably won't be able to go with you."

Jiang Lingye then cut to the very beginning, "So you're giving me this company to imply that I want to stay in the entertainment industry... is that right?"

Qin Chaoyue: "I think your qualifications are quite suitable for this place, especially before you master other skills. You are more than capable in this circle, and you can easily thrive just by relying on your outstanding appearance."

"But this is only one viable option; you still have thousands of other choices."

Qin Chaoyue gripped the fountain pen in her hand and gently turned it, causing the pen barrel to gleam with a silvery sheen.

"I--"

Seeing that Jiang Lingye seemed about to speak, Qin Chaoyue interrupted, "Don't rush to answer."

"Your life is in your own hands. As long as it doesn't violate morality or the law, I won't interfere too much with you. I will only offer some advice when you make irrational decisions."

Ultimately, the decision is yours.

"But before making a choice..."

Qin Chaoyue tilted her head to look at people, the silver of the fountain pen reflected in her dark eyes, and like the scattered ends of her hair, it exuded a sharp and fierce charm.

She chuckled softly again.

"Just buy a toy in advance to see if it suits your needs and is fun—it won't cost much."

"If you don't like it, you can change to another toy, and... change to another one, and another one."
