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

As soon as Xie Yan opened her eyes, a folder was thrown at her head.

She was in an office, facing a square-faced man who looked very angry.

"I sent you to sound out the situation, and what did you do?! You drank yourself into oblivion! Where's the information I needed?! Do you even respect me as your boss anymore?!"

Xie Yan took a deep breath and silently recited the system in her mind eight hundred times.

Xie Yan was a little puzzled as to how the system viewed her.

Does she really seem to love working? Is she some kind of naturally gifted, divine being?

Why is it that the identity they specially arranged for her is still that of a lowly, abused worker?

After finally leaving the boss's office, Xie Yan breathed a long sigh of relief and went to the restroom.

The woman in the mirror still had the same familiar features, about 80% similar to how she looked in this world before.

The difference is that her eyes are now narrower and longer, and the baby fat that hadn't completely disappeared in her teenage years is gone. Her skin is very thin and clings tightly to her bones and flesh, giving her a more detached look due to her three-dimensional bone structure.

Especially her narrow-rimmed frameless glasses on her straight nose added an air of aloofness to her overall demeanor.

Xie Yan is slender with a very thin waist. Her light-colored shirt is fitted at the waist and blends into the close-fitting skirt. She has long, thin legs and wears a pair of not-too-high heels, giving her a very professional look.

This is Xie Yan's own face and body, even the glasses on her face are the ones she wears most often, so the system didn't lie to her.

At that moment, a girl came out from inside. As soon as she saw Xie Yan, she walked over to her with concern on her face.

"Sister Xie, are you alright? Did General Manager Huang scold you this morning? I heard him yell at you pretty badly."

Xie Yan lowered her head and washed her hands. "It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me? Let them scold me if they want."

Her current state of mind is unmatched; even if a knife were held to her neck, she might not be greatly affected.

Back at her workstation, Xie Yan began to ponder her current situation.

This body was exactly the same as her own, and there was nothing unusual when she received the memories. It was as if Xie Yan had always lived here before, and everything was perfectly natural.

This is a small real estate company. Some of the most sought-after plots of land are naturally contested by large corporations, while the remaining scattered plots are fiercely contested and occupied by small companies like this.

After all, as long as the location is similar, even if only three or five buildings can be built, it is still a miniature community and can fetch a good price.

The Land Resources Administration Bureau will hold a bidding conference in a few days to open the bidding. The land is obviously not suitable for large developers, but it is just within the reach of small developers. So Mr. Huang was tempted.

The day before, Xie Yan was sent by him to approach the head of the rival company in an attempt to find out their bottom line. However, Xie Yan got drunk and ended up finding nothing.

Mr. Huang was very anxious because the company had limited funds due to some loan issues. If he went to bid without any knowledge of the process, he was afraid he would be too timid and end up with nothing.

Xie Yan pondered her new identity while looking out the window.

Suddenly, she froze.

The company building wasn't located in the city center's economic district; the rent there was too expensive, and their small, run-down company didn't deserve it.

This is an office building outside the Third Ring Road. Downstairs, there is a bustling flow of cars and people, and across the street is a large shopping mall.

The exterior walls of the shopping mall are covered with advertisements for various brands, including large posters featuring celebrity endorsements.

Among the scattered advertisements, one stands out prominently.

The portrait poster almost covered the entire exterior wall. The girl in the picture was wearing an expensive but simple black dress, her long hair was tied up, her features were delicate and exquisite, her bright eyes shone, and she had a tenacious spirit like wild grass.

The girl smiled gently and raised one hand to rest on her shoulder, a high-end watch adorning her fair wrist.

This is clearly an advertisement for a luxury brand watch, but that's not the point.

Xie Yan stared at the girl in the magazine, momentarily lost in thought.

That's Bai Zhiwei.

Xie Yan was always somewhat oblivious to the passage of time, and only now did she remember what the system had told her not long ago.

Ten years have passed since then.

Bai Zhiwei, whom I remember as still a college student, has become a big star that everyone knows about after ten years of hard work.

This feeling is truly amazing.

Bai Zhiwei is an artist under Xingtu Entertainment. Since she is doing very well, does that mean Xie Qingyu is also doing very well?

Xie Yan snapped out of her daze, quickly took out her phone, and tapped a few buttons.

Now that she's back alive, she should inform Xie Qingyu.

However, when the familiar number was dialed, the receiver said the other party was not in the service area.

Out of service area... Could it be that it went abroad?

Xie Yan tried several more times, but the result was the same.

She couldn't stop recalling the scene of Xie Qingyu burying her, how devastated he was crying.

Thinking of this, Xie Yan couldn't help but purse her lips, her fingers gripping the phone so tightly that they turned white.

...and him.

Xie Yan lowered her eyelids, opened the browser, and typed in a few words.

North City, car accident.

The page quickly displayed a lot of news, with minor car accidents from recent years appearing sporadically at the top. But as you scrolled further down, the homepage showed more links to the major multi-vehicle collision that occurred ten years ago.

Xie Yan clicked in and quickly browsed through the news from ten years ago, which included footage of passersby using their phones and footage taken by officials later.

This photo was probably taken by a passerby; people can be seen in it.

The cars in the picture were all in terrible condition.

The car she was in crashed through the fence and was hanging precariously on the edge of a cliff, while the other cars were either wrecked or overturned.

The metal hoods of the cars were lifted up to reveal engines that looked like scrap metal; each car looked like it was about to be totaled.

Several wounded people were sitting by the roadside, while a thin girl whose face was obscured by blood walked from the edge of the cliff carrying another woman.

What Xie Yan didn't know was that this picture went viral across the internet back then, especially after her identity was revealed, the popularity exploded, after all, she used to be a minor celebrity.

Xie Yan had no idea that she had lost so much blood. She stared blankly at the pictures, noticing that besides herself in the center of the images, there was also a person lying on the ground in the corner.

The man tilted his head back and strained to look at the person not far away. From this angle, only half of his profile could be seen, and his face was not clearly discernible.

He crawled out of some wrecked car, and Xie Yan only then noticed his twisted calf and deep wounds.

...He actually carried her for a while under those circumstances.

Xie Yan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, like being stabbed with a needle.

She paused for a moment, then continued scrolling down the pictures. She saw a charred vehicle at the bottom of the cliff, so badly damaged that it was practically shattered into pieces.

Xie Yan even remembers falling onto the hood of the car, followed by a burst of intense heat and flames...

Xie Yan forcibly suppressed the pounding in her heart, pursed her pale lips, gripped her phone tightly, and got up to leave.

Nanjing Forestry Province is located at the junction of the southwest and northwest of China, close to the Central Plains. The climate is just right, with heating in winter, no cockroaches all year round, and the air is not too dry.

As the capital city of Nanlin Province, Nanlin City is also an emerging first-tier city, and its economy is developing rapidly in line with the times.

Xie Yan followed the route in her mind home and came into view a building with a small courtyard. There was a small flower shed in the courtyard, where the flowers were in full bloom. As you got closer, you were filled with fragrance and the scenery was breathtaking.

Outside the flower shed is a small wooden swing, and not far from the building is a large pond called Pear Blossom Pond.

An ancient poem describes the pear blossoms filling the garden with their fragrance like snow. Every year in March and April, the vast pear orchards are shrouded in mist and rain, with snowflakes obscuring the sun, creating a delicate and enchanting scene.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly, casting golden rays across the road and the leaves. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the pond shimmered like it was sprinkled with gold. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of pear blossoms.

Xie Yan simply found a bench by the pool, sat down, let out a long sigh, and then looked down at her phone to check what had happened during the ten years she had been gone.

******

As night falls, the cityscape is gently outlined by the dazzling lights.

Amidst the flashing neon lights and towering buildings, a low-key black minivan navigates the bustling streets.

A young man was reclining on the leather seat in the back. He was handsome and beautiful, with flushed cheeks from drinking. He was wearing a flashy silk floral shirt and looked bright and alluring.

The short-haired woman driving saw him like this in the rearview mirror, her expression a mixture of helplessness and concern. "Mr. Bai, are you alright?"

The man, referred to as Boss Bai, squinted, muttering incoherent curses in a sharp, grating voice that belied his handsome appearance. "Nothing?? You're asking me?? You should ask that idiot manager!! I didn't come all this way to play house with him!! He dared to urge me to drink?! Is he alright?? Send his company two cases of Liuliumei plums tomorrow and choke him to death!!!"

"..."

The short-haired woman really wanted to say, "Weren't you having a great time drinking with the male model just now? Why are you turning your back on me now that there aren't any handsome guys around?"

But despite her inner complaints, she was well aware of the Bai family's young master's bad temper.

Since Bai Xiao came out as gay and retired from the entertainment industry years ago, the once sunny and cheerful prince has completely transformed back into the sharp-tongued and foul-mouthed young master of the Bai family. There's nothing that his large fanbase can do about it.

Anyway, Young Master Bai is rich and willful. He just turned around and left, leaving a group of heartbroken fans biting their handkerchiefs and crying until their tears dried.

Bai Xiao's stomach felt uncomfortable from drinking, especially when lying down. So he got up and sat up, but sitting wasn't comfortable either. He felt uncomfortable no matter what he did, and suddenly became extremely irritable.

"When is Shen Yan coming back?! I can't live like this for another day!! What kind of rotten nonsense has he done?! Is he even human?! Old Zhou, tell me! Is he even human?!!"

Zhou Panpan's ears hurt from his noisy voice, but she was patient. "It'll be soon, it'll be soon. You know that President Shen needs to take a break every year. Besides, you are also a shareholder of the company, so you can't just sit idly by."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao became even more displeased, her anger bordering on disbelief. "Didn't I contribute?!"

"........."

"...At least I paid for it!!"

With her hand turning half a turn on the steering wheel, the car smoothly accelerated and overtook the car in front. Zhou Panpan sighed, "Do you think President Shen is short of money?"

The person behind opened their mouth, but remained silent for a long time, clearly choked up.

The Bai family's wealth and power are obvious, but back then, the Gu family's market value was several places ahead of the Bai family.

The Gu family is now already under Shen Yan's control.

Years ago, when the old man surnamed Gu was seriously ill, the Gu Group was in chaos. The two young masters of the Gu family fought each other to the death. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were bloodthirsty and completely insane.

In the end, Shen Er played a dirty trick, setting up a shell company to distribute a massive amount of new shares to everyone except Gu Da, directly diluting Gu Da's shareholding.

How ruthless was Shen Er's act?

He diluted Gu Da's original 38% stake to 0.006%.

It is close to nothing.

At this point, Gu Da was completely kicked out of the company.

Shen Er also held half of the shares specified in Old Man Gu's will, and later easily acquired the entire Gu Group using that shell company.

In this way, he completed the transfer of top power without bloodshed, becoming the industry's recognized cold-blooded killer.

No one could have imagined that the young, naive, and obedient Shen Er was actually such a deep and sinister person behind the scenes, so insidious that it sent chills down people's spines.

Recalling those events, Zhou Panpan still couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Her family had signed a long-term cooperation contract with the Gu family, but unexpectedly, not long after, such a big change occurred in the Gu Group. After that, the group's CEO changed, and naturally, the Zhou family's partners also changed.

Therefore, after graduating from university, Zhou Panpan worked for Shen Yan.

Only then did she learn that President Shen was actually the little boy she had met when she was a child, but he had been displaced as a child and was later found by his relatives.

The world is ridiculously small.

Bai Xiao, sitting in the back row, was still pondering the question from earlier. Of course, Shen Yan was not short of money.

Even now, he belatedly realizes that Shen Yan probably pulled him into the investment because of his powerful background and the Bai family's backing, which at least allowed him to maintain order when Shen Yan was not around.

In addition to Future Real Estate, which was later renamed, Shen Yan now owns Future Technology, a joint venture between the two of them. It is currently riding the wave of opportunity and is about to usher in its Series A financing.

But who knew that at such a tense moment, Shen Yan would disappear again.

Bai Xiao had to step in temporarily, and she was busy dealing with all sorts of troublesome matters.

He felt like strangling Shen Yan.

But after so many years, Bai Xiao had gotten somewhat used to it. Shen Yan would disappear for a while every now and then, sometimes for ten days or half a month, and sometimes for three to five months.

Bai Xiao actually got the hang of this kind of job of taking the blame from time to time.

He irritably ruffled his hair, turning his meticulously styled hair into a messy, unkempt mess.

Well, since we're already here, and his sister happens to be studying at Nanjing Forestry University No. 1 High School, let's take this opportunity to go and visit her.
