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

"You can live here."

Zhou Panpan helped Xie Yan carry her suitcase and stopped in front of an apartment building.

"The initial password for the security door is six sixes. You can change it yourself later. Let me see what else..."

This park has a high level of security and confidentiality, so using it as employee dormitories is actually a luxury, even if the group's headquarters will be in real estate in the future.

Therefore, basically only employees who have worked stably for more than six years after joining the company can apply for apartments, but Xie Yan is obviously an exception.

"By the way, it seems we're still missing a computer. Do you need the company to provide one? Do you want a laptop or a desktop?"

Xie Yan nodded happily, but since she already had a laptop, she said, "Then let's go with a desktop."

Since they still have a technology company, the specifications of their electronic products should be quite good.

Zhou Panpan was still a kind-hearted person. She helped Xie Yan pack her luggage and studied how to register fingerprints and facial recognition on the door lock. Before they knew it, the two of them had become much more familiar with each other.

Having just changed the door lock code, Xie Yan suddenly asked casually, "By the way, Manager Zhou, I found online that the company used to be in Yunchuan. Why did it move to Beicheng later?"

Zhou Panpan was taken aback, then said, "Beicheng is the capital after all, so it's bound to be more developed. Besides, this is all President Shen's idea. How would we, his subordinates, know? We just follow along."

"oh oh."

Xie Yan nodded as if she suddenly understood, then a hint of curiosity appeared on her face. "So what kind of person is President Shen?"

Seeing the thirst for knowledge in her eyes, Zhou Panpan suddenly didn't know what to say. She was afraid of scaring away the person Bai Xiao had worked so hard to recruit.

"Hmm... President Shen is actually a good person, he just doesn't talk much. You just need to do your job well. He is usually very stable in his emotions, he never scolds or yells at people, which is different from what people say outside. Don't worry."

Emotionally stable?

Xie Yan never expected that someone would use these four words to describe Shen Yan.

Does that mean he may have recovered a lot through psychological treatment over the years?

...She always felt something was off.

Xie Yan lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Zhou Panpan didn't notice her expression and assumed she was tired, so she said, "You just arrived today, so you should rest first. Come to the company to report for duty tomorrow. President Bai should have told you about your position; you are the president's assistant."

Xie Yan pursed her lips. She really wanted to say that she was good at computers and wanted to work in web development, but she felt that this would be too similar to her previous situation and she was afraid of arousing suspicion, so she didn't say it.

That was settled. After Zhou Panpan left, Xie Yan carefully looked around the room.

The apartment is a one-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom unit, but it's quite spacious. The decor is simple and fresh, with good lighting and a clean, bright interior. Xie Yan is very satisfied.

She made the bed, put on the duvet cover, and quickly mopped the floor. Then, without any regard for appearances, she sat cross-legged on the sofa and called Xie Qingyu again, but still couldn't get through.

Xie Yan refused to believe it and started checking Starway Entertainment's news again. Fortunately, there seemed to be a few news articles about Starway Entertainment last night. She clicked on them and saw that the gist of the content was:

The president of Starway Entertainment personally went to Hollywood to sell film and television remake rights, and from then on, Chinese films and television went abroad and went global!

The article's editor used extensive language to describe the high value of this collaboration.

Asia has suffered under the tyranny of Europe and America for far too long!

Perhaps due to reasons left over from the last century, developed countries in Europe and America have always been more refined and perfect in terms of technology and special effects, to the point that every time a blockbuster is released in Europe and America, it drains the box office.

In contrast, domestic films have mediocre special effects, plots, and actors, which fails to arouse audience interest. As a result, box office revenue remains low, and foreigners make all the money. In the end, foreigners will say that Chinese films are indeed no good.

Many film industry professionals felt that the domestic market might take many more years to develop and compete with Europe and the United States, but unexpectedly, Starway Entertainment, a production company that transformed itself, broke this situation.

They're dumping tons of high-quality movies and phenomenal dramas into the market.

As Xie Yan watched the editor praising Xingtu's CEO for his grand vision, discerning eye, quick wit, and strategic planning, she suddenly began to doubt whether the person was really talking about Xie Qingyu.

Could it be that he has already gone back and is now actually the original male lead?

After thinking for a while, Xie Yan opened the films produced by Starway Company over the years, wanting to see what their quality was.

A quick search revealed the answer.

Hey!

Titan Jack

Ice and Snow Romance

Steel Plate Hero

Octopods

Captain China

The Snow Queen

Hello Wang Xiaoying

…and so on and so forth.

Case solved.

Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

This is definitely Xie Qingyu. She still remembers when Xie Qingyu told her that he would make movies and become the richest man in the future, and then open a research institute for her so she could study to her heart's content every day.

He seems to have achieved great success now.

Thinking back to his hopeful and excited voice at the time, Xie Yan could only laugh.

However, the smile on her lips didn't last long before Xie Yan's expression faded again.

She couldn't believe that her silly younger brother, who was still in his final year of high school at eighteen, was now almost thirty.

Time is truly a very abstract thing.

The next day.

The northern part of the city is indeed much more prosperous as it is the capital.

Located in a mountainous city, three elevated highways are irregularly built in the air, with vehicles driving overhead. Not to mention the heart of the business district, where every inch of land exudes the aura of money.

Between the exterior walls of the commercial building, light and shadow intertwine, and the glass reflects colorful patterns under the sunlight. Everyone inside looks hurried and is so busy that their feet barely touch the ground.

In today's fast-paced cities, the only way to adapt to the times and avoid being left behind is to constantly strive and persevere.

"Let me introduce you all. This is our new colleague, Xie Yan."

Zhou Panpan led Xie Yan into the company and introduced her to everyone.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw a slender and beautiful woman standing next to Manager Zhou. She was wearing a black shirt, her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, and she wore glasses. Her features were extremely beautiful.

Xie Yan smiled, her demeanor instantly softening. "Hello everyone."

A few scattered claps rang out, which served as a welcome, and the veteran employees quickly returned to their work.

Looking at the somewhat somber office atmosphere, Zhou Panpan felt a little helpless. She turned to Xie Yan and whispered, "They've been under a lot of pressure lately. Let me take you to complete the onboarding procedures."

"Okay, it's alright."

Xie Yan didn't mind; she wasn't really planning to come to work anyway.

She just wanted to see Shen Yan. After all, given Shen Yan's elusive and secretive image in the outside world, if she didn't take this opportunity to come to the company, she might never see him again.

The past seems to have become blurry and unreal, like scenes from an old movie. Whether it was joy, anger, or sorrow, it all seems insignificant in the face of the vast passage of time and the boundary between life and death.

She could finally relax once she saw with her own eyes that Shen Yan was alright.

If there's nothing else, she might just glance at it and leave.

Trying to ignore the vague and sullen feeling in her heart, Xie Yan followed Zhou Panpan to complete the procedures with a normal expression.

She didn't seem to see Tan Qing along the way, and after subtly inquiring with Zhou Panpan, she realized that the name seemed unfamiliar to her.

Clearly, Tan Qing has not chosen to follow Shen Yan, so he is most likely still with Xie Qingyu and has stayed in Xingtu.

Fortunately, Xie Qingyu had someone who could help him, which made Xie Yan somewhat relieved.

The future group headquarters is astonishingly large.

In the capital's northern city, where land is incredibly valuable, it occupies an entire commercial building in a prime location. The interior design is extremely minimalist and business-like, yet it exudes exceptional taste in every detail.

The two took the elevator to the top floor.

The corridor was covered with a high-quality, subtly patterned cashmere carpet that felt soft and fluffy underfoot, as if it were made of some kind of sound-absorbing material.

Once you get to this level, you can't hear anything at all; it's so quiet it sends chills down your spine.

Apart from the cleaning lady who occasionally comes up to clean, almost no one dares to come up to the top floor. In fact, even Zhou Panpan herself has only come up a few times.

General Manager Shen has a cold personality, prefers quiet, and dislikes crowded places. Occasionally, he will call employees to his office to talk about work. The employees who are called are all terrified, like students being called to the teacher's office for tea, feeling extremely guilty.

The entire floor, spanning over a thousand square meters, was completely empty.

Xie Yan looked at the empty office area and the closed office door, and fell silent. "Is he going to leave me to work here all by myself?"

She felt that this place could be rented directly to Xie Qingyu to film horror movies.

Zhou Panpan quickly waved her hand, "No, no, I just brought you here to get acquainted with the office."

She stopped in front of a dark wooden door. "This is President Shen's office. He's not here right now, so you can work downstairs with me."

"Oh, is Mr. Shen away on a business trip?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Panpan pondered for a moment, "Pretty much, I have to go out and be busy every now and then."

Xie Yan frowned slightly and remained silent.

North City, Airport.

As soon as the plane landed in the early morning, a crowd gathered at the VIP entrance.

They were a mix of men and women, all young people, some of whom looked like students. They held up banners, their expressions were excited, and they were shouting something.

Bai Zhiwei could already hear the screams of fans outside before she even came out, which made her feel somewhat helpless.

She had just returned from abroad with her boss and hadn't even had time to adjust to the time difference before the fans' enthusiasm jolted her awake.

Bai Zhiwei, dressed in high-end designer brands and even wearing designer sunglasses, looked helplessly at the man beside her. "Mr. Gu, I'd like to go out and say hello to them. Do you want to go first...?"

The two walked side by side. The man beside Bai Zhiwei was tall and handsome, wearing a casual brown jacket. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his temperament was mature and languid, a result of his past sharpness.

The two of them went abroad for work together; one discussed cooperation while the other walked the red carpet. Since their schedules were about the same, they returned together.

Gu Qingyu, addressed as President Gu, remained expressionless. "It's alright, no need. Tan Qing is already waiting outside. Go and greet her. I'll wait for you in the car."

After speaking, he strode out first.

Over the years, thanks to the company's management and promotion, Bai Zhiwei has become incredibly popular.

No one could have imagined that Mr. Gu, who was a prodigy since childhood, would be able to make a comeback after suffering major setbacks such as the death of his father, his mother's imprisonment, and being kicked out of the company.

They even pulled off a stunning comeback with their small Starway Entertainment, a truly remarkable feat.

He seems to have unlimited energy and imagination; any script he comes up with in his head can become a huge hit.

Some people on the internet even joked that even if his company went out of business one day, he could still be financially independent as a screenwriter, after learning that all the scripts for those popular movies were written by Gu Qingyu, the president of Starway.

Bai Zhiwei walked out about a minute after President Gu left, and as soon as she appeared, a deafening scream erupted.

She waved with a smile, then made a "shh" gesture, signaling her assistant to collect the fans' mail.

The atmosphere was both exciting and peaceful.

In the van, Gu Qingyu sat in the back seat, with melodious symphonic music playing in the cabin, the excellent sound insulation keeping the noise outside.

He had just returned to China and switched to a domestic mobile phone. Looking down at the emails and messages he hadn't had time to deal with during this period, he casually asked a few questions but received no response. When he looked up, he saw Tan Qing in the driver's seat, looking out the window with her head turned to the side.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyu put his phone down and chuckled, "Tan Qing, stop looking, they'll be here soon, they're not going to run away."

Tan Qing snapped back to reality, her expression turning serious. "I didn't see it."

Tan Qing is no longer young. He exudes a calm and composed demeanor, with a mature style that borders on asceticism. There are many young women in the company who are attracted to his type.

However, he was clearly a workaholic. Besides helping Gu Qingyu with work, he also dealt with Bai Zhiwei, the top star of Xingtu. Over time, he became quite interested in her.

"Okay, if you say you didn't watch it, then you didn't watch it. I believe you, I really believe you."

Hearing this, Tan Qing felt somewhat helpless, as if an elder were looking at a mischievous junior, "President Gu, please stop teasing me."

Gu Qingyu chuckled and went back to looking at his emails.

The lights inside the carriage were not very bright. Gu Qingyu had his head down, and his prominent brow bone cast a small shadow in the light, making him look handsome and mature.

Tan Qing looked at him, and seemed to suddenly feel a fatherly sense of relief.

I still remember how I taught him how to work, but he was so bad at English that he was stuttering and stammering. Tan Qing was worried about him, so she ignored the people trying to poach her and left to work independently with President Gu.

Now, Mr. Gu can travel abroad to work independently without a translator.

Tan Qing has gradually stepped back from a role similar to a "teacher" in previous years to a supporting role, because President Gu is now an excellent and mature leader.

He didn't grow up very quickly, but Tan Qing witnessed his steady climb up the ladder step by step.

They worked hard, endured hardships, and suffered a lot.

A few minutes later, Bai Zhiwei was surrounded by fans as she got into the car, and the atmosphere became lively as soon as she and her assistant got in.

Bai Zhiwei happily opened the fans' letters, reading them one by one with a smile on her face. She would occasionally read them aloud, making the scene particularly festive.

The atmosphere was joyful and cheerful, and Tan Qing couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, a hint of a smile flashing in her mature eyes behind her glasses.
