I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

Starway Entertainment.

The boy wearing sunglasses sat in the reception room, his delicate and pretty face full of impatience.

Bai Xiao canceled her engagements today and came to the company early this morning to wait for someone, preparing to terminate her contract.

His assistant eagerly brought him a glass of water, looking somewhat pained.

"Brother Bai, you're really terminating the contract? Our agency contract was only transferred a few months ago, and the original contract was for five years. The penalty for breach of contract is quite substantial..."

Bai Xiao rolled her eyes.

But then he suddenly remembered that he was wearing sunglasses and his assistant couldn't see him.

So he took off his sunglasses and rolled his eyes.

"Do you think I'm short of that little bit of money? It's just a matter of buying one less car!"

In fact, Bai Xiao had really thought this through carefully.

He wasn't trying to change his agency contract; he simply didn't want to continue.

Originally, Bai Xiao chose this path because teenagers and young adults in their twenties like to be admired and fawned over. She really enjoys the feeling of being the center of attention and surrounded by admirers.

But I've been really tired these past few years.

He has to wear a hat and mask wherever he goes, and even in the sweltering summer, he gets heat rash on his head.

Now it's even worse; countless eyes around the world are constantly monitoring him, judging his private life and friendships.

He was bored, or rather, he had had enough.

He's just an ordinary, super-rich second-generation heir; he should go back and inherit the family business.

Anyway, even being a top star doesn't earn as much as your family's company.

Bai Xiao glanced at her seven-figure watch, frowned, and shouted towards the door, "Where's your boss? I've been waiting for twenty minutes! No one has ever made Bai Xiao wait twenty minutes! Never!"

The company employees immediately stepped forward with forced smiles to comfort him, but turned around with long faces.

"What should we do? Young Master Gu is busy today and didn't come to the company. Even if he rushes over now, it will still take a while. This little devil suddenly wants to terminate the contract. Our company just went public this year. Will the stock price plummet?!"

"I was really hoping for a big year-end bonus this year, but who would have thought this would happen right before the end of the year? If the company's stock price plummets, then forget about it..."

"A drop is inevitable. After signing Bai Xiao, the company's market value soared by tens of millions overnight. If the news of the contract termination gets out, it will probably all fall back down."

Several employees were chatting furtively in the break room, all looking dejected.

I am heartbroken that my year-end bonus is about to slip away.

After waiting another five minutes, Bai Xiao was finally about to explode.

"25 minutes! I've never waited this long for a top male model abroad! How dare that guy surnamed Gu?! Ahhh, I want to eat him alive—"

He was so enraged that he threw the cup next to him toward the door.

But unfortunately, it was a disposable paper cup, which fell to the ground silently, as if it were in a helpless rage.

A pair of leather shoes suddenly appeared from the doorway and stopped next to the paper cup.

Bai Xiao's eyes immediately sharpened, and she looked up.

This man had straight and strong legs, a tall and upright figure, broad shoulders and a straight back, like a resilient poplar tree.

He was wearing a well-tailored black suit with a smooth silhouette and crisp fabric, which looked expensive at first glance, making him appear exceptionally distinguished.

The boy's fair face contrasted sharply with his black suit, like a small handful of snow in the darkness, exquisitely beautiful to the point of being breathtaking. However, the shrewdness he exuded was hard to ignore.

He simply stood there, doing nothing, yet one could sense that within this youthful body lay a soul honed over many years, his maturity clearly exceeding his years.

The boy's eyes were gentle yet distant. He bent down to pick up the paper cup at his feet, then looked at Bai Xiao and gave a formulaic smile. "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Bai Xiao was stunned, clearly bewildered by the faint smile on the boy's face.

Goodness, this guy is even better looking than the top male model he hired overseas!

But he quickly felt ashamed of his own cowardice, so he arrogantly raised his chin and said, "Who are you? I need to talk to your boss and tell him to get back here right now."

The boy's expression remained unchanged as he stepped in, casually tossed the paper cup into the trash can, and then extended his hand to Bai Xiao.

"Hello Mr. Bai, I am Shen Yan. You may not remember, but we met once before."

Bai Xiao narrowed her eyes, somewhat suspicious. "Really? I don't remember."

"The last time was at the seafood restaurant, you were eating with Xie Yan, and I was right next door."

As the clear voice faded, Bai Xiao slowly began to recall something. After a moment, he frowned. "So, you were sent by Gu Qingyu to get rid of me?"

The aloof young man before him simply smiled faintly, "Mr. Bai, why don't we sit down and talk?"

Just recently, Shen Yan had finished attending the morning meeting at the head office.

Tan Qing told him that Xingtu had some urgent matters to attend to, and that President Gu wouldn't be back for a while, so he hoped that Shen Yan could help out. That's why Shen Yan came over.

The two sat down and talked for a while.

Bai Xiao's demands are very clear: she wants to terminate her contract and leave the entertainment industry. The penalty for breach of contract is not a problem for her at all; she seems to have made up her mind.

Shen Yan sat on the dark leather sofa, bathed in the bright, clear light streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The light fell gently on him, making his delicate profile and hair appear as if they were edged with a faint gold, making him look almost unreal.

He took a slow, deliberate sip of tea, his voice calm and unwavering.

"Mr. Bai, actually my relationship with my brother is just so-so, and I don't care what negative impact your termination of the contract will have on his company, so I'll just analyze it from a rational perspective."

"First, if you insist on terminating the contract now, you will not only have to pay Xingtu a penalty for breach of contract. I just checked on my way here, and you currently have 19 endorsements, 6 of which are three-year contracts, as well as two variety shows and three dramas."

"I did a rough calculation, and if you were to leave the industry immediately, the total amount of the breach of contract fees would be as high as hundreds of millions."

"Of course I know Mr. Bai's family is very wealthy, but this amount of money is not a small sum for any listed company. I hope Mr. Bai will think carefully and decide whether he really wants to bring such a big loss to his family for a moment of pleasure."

"Secondly, the photos of Mr. Bai and Xie Yan are still hot. If you announce your retirement from the entertainment industry at this critical moment, your fans are likely to vent their anger on Xie Yan. She will then suffer the crazy cyberbullying from your tens of millions of fans for no reason."

At this point, Shen Yan's voice became inexplicably cold, devoid of any warmth, making Bai Xiao feel quite uneasy.

"You must have seen the trending topics a few days ago. Mr. Bai's fans even made a scene downstairs at Xie Yan's house, which has left her unable to go home and forced her to find a new place to live."

Bai Xiao felt guilty after Shen Yan's words. He lowered his head and spoke much softer than before, "I didn't expect those fans to act like that..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan turned to look at him. His eyes, as black as ink, were extremely deep. Although the corners of his eyes still had a perfect curve, the temperature in his eyes was icy cold.

"Yes, you didn't expect this either. So how can Mr. Bai ensure that fans won't retaliate against Xie Yan after he retires from the entertainment industry? Can you guarantee that she won't be implicated and attacked again? This time it was pepper spray, what will it be next time? Can you take responsibility for that!"

Bai Xiao's face was so buried that it was almost invisible.

Was it just his imagination? Why did he feel that Shen Yan was so fierce?

However, his fierceness was so reasonable that Bai Xiao was unable to refute it, and he was completely convinced by his fierceness.

"Then what do you suggest? So I won't quit? But I really don't want to do this anymore..."

By this time, Bai Xiao's attitude was no longer as arrogant as when he first arrived. Now, he was on the moral low ground, feeling as guilty as a lamb.

A dark glint flashed in the eyes of the boy dressed in black, but he resumed his cold and indifferent tone.

"We can hold off on terminating the contract for now. Eight endorsements will expire in six months, and the penalty for breach of contract will be significantly reduced. As for the rumors between you and Xie Yan, I think the most effective way is not to clarify, but to divert attention with bigger news."

Bai Xiao paused for a moment, "...What news? Are you trying to find me another rumored girlfriend for publicity? But don't you think that's bad for girls...?"

"No." Shen Yan smiled, revealing Bai Xiao's secret in an extremely calm manner, "Mr. Bai likes men, doesn't he?"

The boy seemed somewhat nonchalant, as if he didn't care at all about the crazy and terrifying controversy and criticism that Bai Xiao would face.

"You can choose to come out publicly."

“Attracting public attention and criticism to remove innocent people from the center of the storm is what Mr. Bai should be doing.”

"Of course, the final decision is up to you, based entirely on your conscience."

This conversation lasted for more than an hour.

When Bai Xiao left, it was as if her soul had been ripped out; her eyes were glazed and confused, as if she were trapped in a great predicament.

The employees waiting outside craned their necks, eager to find out what was going on, whether that little devil had actually terminated his contract, and whether they still had any hope of getting their year-end bonuses.

The next second, a noble and aloof young man walked out.

He glanced around casually, then finally smiled gently amidst the tense and inquisitive gazes of the crowd.

"The contracts have been saved, so everyone should still receive their bonuses this year."

A burst of cheers erupted from the office.

The boy's smile deepened as he waved his phone screen. "Everyone's worked hard. I just ordered milk tea and coffee for you all; it's on me."

Then came another round of enthusiastic flattery, with a few bolder ones even shouting "I love you, Mr. Shen!" in public.

Standing in the corner, Tan Qing watched this scene with mixed feelings.

Shen Yan and CEO Gu are really too different.

Starway Entertainment was founded by Mr. Gu, but he is usually cold and indifferent, and his employees are always afraid of him and dare not approach him.

Moreover, ever since Mr. Gu's fever damaged his brain, he has clearly become less intelligent, and he even has to learn how to handle work from scratch.

But Shen Yan is different. He is outstanding, ambitious, and quick-witted. Like a sponge, he can endlessly and frantically absorb knowledge from the outside world.

Furthermore, he always had the ability to easily win people's hearts and gain the favor and affection of those around him.

Even though Shen Yan has only been with the company for a short time, his outstanding work ability has caused some people to waver when choosing sides.

Tan Qing felt a chill run down her spine whenever she thought about Shen Yan's current age.

He couldn't imagine how high someone who was already so outstanding and perfect would go in the future.

After dealing with matters concerning Starway, Shen Yan prepared to return to headquarters.

Tan Qing followed behind him silently.

"Any news about the house?"

A cool and calm voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Tan Qing immediately nodded, "Yes, it happened this morning. The agent already took someone to see the apartment, and I heard they were very satisfied and have already paid."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, as if the weight she had been carrying had finally been lifted.

"okay, I get it."

Tan Qing sighed again when this matter was brought up.

Not long ago, Shen Yan was appreciated by President Gu because of his outstanding abilities, so he was given several houses. However, Shen Yan acted as if nothing had happened and stayed at Xie Yan's house and refused to move.

But for some reason, one day Shen Yan suddenly moved back to the new house with his suitcase.

Tan Qing quickly realized that the night she took Miss Xie home, they probably had some misunderstanding and quarrel, and Miss Xie kicked Shen Yan out.

But now it seems that Mr. Shen still cares about Ms. Xie.

Inside the spacious and bright office, there are soft fabric sofas, glass ornaments with a cool glow, and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that illuminate the entire room, leaving no darkness to hide.

Shen Yan returned to his office and sat down in his office chair. He closed his eyes, frowned, and showed signs of fatigue, which was rare for him.

Perhaps the ten-year wait had already pushed her to the brink of collapse, and now, after a brief period of possession, the long separation made it even more unbearable and torturous.

He misses Xie Yan.

I'm going crazy thinking about it.

I miss her voice, her face, her smile, her warmth.

I miss everything about her.

Every cell in Shen Yan's body was boiling wildly, expressing his frantic longing.

He didn't ask for much, he just wanted to hold her tightly, smell her scent, and feel her body temperature.

That's enough.

Lately, he has been able to fall asleep almost every night by imagining himself lying on Xie Yan's sofa.

That recording from his childhood is no longer enough for him.

Like someone suffering from skin hunger, he needed more contact to soothe his restless and extremely insecure heart.

Fortunately, Xie Yan has moved now, and is a little closer to him.

Shen Yan raised his hand and rubbed his temples vigorously, finally relieving the sudden discomfort after a long time.

He picked up the landline on the table and asked Tan Qing to call over the head of the company's technical department.

The technical team leader is a man in his early thirties who is responsible for maintaining the group's official website and providing data support for some backend systems. He is very capable.

"Team Leader Lin, how's the matter I asked you to investigate last time?"

Team Leader Lin turned around and closed the office door tightly, then took out an envelope and handed it to Shen Yan.

"This is the evidence I downloaded and saved from their email. I've seen it, and it's absolutely explosive."

Shen Yan looked down at the documents in the envelope, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Very good, thank you, Team Leader Lin."
