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

April rain is not as bitingly cold as winter rain.

Spring rain is as precious as oil, as gentle as the finest silk thread, moistening the soil drop by drop and bringing forth a vibrant scene of life.

Starway Entertainment's trip to Hollywood has attracted much attention in the industry, as we Chinese people are proud to share in the opportunity to promote our culture.

As a result, Exeed's stock price has also risen significantly, and it's been all red recently.

Bai Zhiwei's schedule is incredibly busy, flying all over the country. She had just arrived in Beicheng in the early hours of the previous night, and after an interview the next morning, she had to fly to another city in the afternoon.

Tan Qing glanced at President Gu in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said, "You just returned to China yesterday. Don't you need to adjust to the time difference? There's nothing urgent at the company lately."

The man in the back seat looked out the window at the rapidly receding street scene, the skyscrapers stretching as far as the eye could see, and he said with a relaxed expression, "It's alright, Xiaobai hasn't had much rest either, do you think I'm inferior to her?"

"..."

The mature and composed man in front of him finally fell silent.

Gu Qingyu chuckled softly, then turned his gaze back to the window, lost in thought.

During this period, he met many film industry professionals and even world-class production companies abroad, so he naturally introduced himself dozens or even hundreds of times.

After hearing this name for so long, he sometimes gets a little confused, wondering if his surname is Xie or Gu.

...His surname should be Gu. No one in this world calls him Xie Qingyu anymore, not even himself.

If it weren't for 2222 keeping him company, he might have felt that the period with the surname Xie was just a dream after ten years of miserable work.

The familiar electronic mechanical voice echoed in my mind.

Congratulations! Achievement in bringing Chinese films to the world stage!

[Your reward of 10000 points has been credited to your account! Please check your account!]

Gu Qingyu looked at the six-figure score on the panel without any change in expression. [No need to announce the points reward next time, it's pointless.]

Having more points is useless; it can't save people or help you go home.

There is no romantic storyline; he has already accepted the fact that he will spend the rest of his life here.

But it's not all bad; at least he's very rich and successful here, isn't he?

Unbeknownst to him, Gu Qingyu sighed softly for some reason, so softly that even Tan Qing didn't notice.

However, not long after, Tan Qing suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice, "There's a car that's been following us the whole time. I even took two detours, but it still followed us."

Gu Qingyu's expression immediately changed as he looked at the rearview mirror on the right side of the car.

On the street, the traffic was not actually sparse, and the various vehicles were traveling at different speeds, some fast and some slow.

Only a low-key black Cayenne lingered a few dozen meters away, maintaining that distance, yet it seemed relentlessly haunting, impossible to shake off.

It was quite far away, and even craning my neck, I could only see that the driver in the driver's seat was an unremarkable-looking man. As for whether there were other people sitting in the back, I had no idea, as I couldn't see them clearly at all.

Even though he couldn't see it, Gu Qingyu knew who was in the car behind him.

His face instantly turned cold. "Drive faster, don't take detours, drive straight to the company, ignore him, he's a lunatic."

Tan Qing had no suspicions and asked no questions. He immediately stepped on the gas, and the car sped off.

Tan Qing knew that President Gu and President Shen had a long-standing feud, and he was also well aware that President Shen frequently followed President Gu.

It's not that President Shen has any special fetishes; he probably just wants to follow President Gu and find some clues from President Gu's itinerary.

This story dates back to an accident ten years ago.

Even though Tan Qing has been with President Gu for ten years now, she still feels sorry for President Shen when she thinks about him back then.

The accident ten years ago resulted in Xie Yan's death and President Shen's injury. President Shen had just been discharged from the ICU and attempted suicide, but after losing blood and fainting, his injured leg was broken again by President Gu, leaving him disabled.

When President Shen was rescued from the brink of death once again, Xie Yan's ashes had already been safely buried, but he had no idea where they were buried. President Gu would never give him a chance to see Xie Yan.

Over the years, Shen Yan hadn't even seen Xie Yan's tombstone.

At that time, the Gu family had not yet experienced any changes, and Shen Yan was still the second son of the group. Tan Qing, who was still in office, even went to visit him.

At that time, Mr. Shen was in such a state that it could be said that only his body was still alive.

Tan Qing even felt that the person lying on the hospital bed was not a living person, but a corpse that had not yet been collected. It would not be out of place if it were lying in the morgue.

Tan Qing can't even bear to recall the details now; he finds them too cruel to bear.

He always felt that after Xie Yan left, both President Gu and President Shen's personalities changed drastically, and the subsequent life-and-death struggle that everyone knew about probably wasn't entirely about fighting for the family fortune.

So what exactly is the reason?

Ugh.

******

"Sister Xie Yan, could you please take a look at this proposal for me? There are some parts that I might not have done very well."

At Future Group, an intern was unusually present at Xie Yan's workstation.

The young man looked quite young and was about to graduate from university this year. He was introverted and shy, and even felt embarrassed to ask someone to help her check her documents.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Xie Yan is the most idle person in the company recently. Everyone else is busy with bidding and investment promotion, while Xie Yan is relatively free because her boss is not around.

She didn't have much work to do, well...

It might serve a design purpose for the company.

Xie Yan took the somewhat immature proposal and began to read it, occasionally glancing down and marking it with a red pen.

It's like a teacher grading homework.

The sense of déjà vu was so strong that the college-aged intern suddenly became nervous for some reason.

This plan was made for the upcoming bidding process. The intern analyzed the different plots of land in all directions, listed the reasons, selected the plot with the highest profit conversion rate, and analyzed its future development direction. This was a task assigned to her by her supervisor.

Fortunately, Xie Yan had recently studied a detailed map of Beicheng; otherwise, she might have been completely lost.

After a long while, she put down her pen, called the intern over, and told him where his analysis was not quite right. She then took into account some current realities and asked him to go back and think it over carefully, and to write another version or revise it.

The intern left, thanking them profusely.

In preparation for the bid, everyone in the company worked overtime to study materials and do their homework, which was also a great learning opportunity for the newcomers.

We had another two-hour meeting in the afternoon, and if nothing unexpected happens, everyone will have to work overtime tonight.

Xie Yan got up and went to the other side of the street from the company to buy a few cups of coffee. When she turned around to cross the street again, she saw a lot of people standing downstairs at the company.

The employees had all come downstairs at some point, and they were all neatly dressed and looked serious, as if they were ready for battle.

Xie Yan hurried across the street carrying several cups of coffee and happened to see the intern standing in front of the crowd waving at her.

However, before she could even greet him, the intern's expression changed, and he shouted loudly from afar, "Car! Watch out for cars!!"

At the same time, a sharp horn sounded, extremely close to Xie Yan. The car braked at breakneck speed, stopping just a dozen centimeters away from her.

The coffee was startled and fell to the ground, spilling everywhere. Xie Yan stood there, frozen in place.

The sharp screeching sound of the brake pads reminded her of the last time she died.

Xie Yan felt her heart was beating incredibly fast, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The group of colleagues downstairs obviously saw this scene as well. They all ran over in a few steps, and then they all surrounded the car and stood in two respectful rows.

The black car door opened, but a cane landed on the ground first.

The ebony cane had a restrained and profound luster, and then a person slowly got off the car.

The man wore a black overcoat that reached his calves. He had broad shoulders and long legs, but the only flaw was the meaning behind the cane he carried.

"Mr. Shen, you're back!"

"Welcome, Mr. Shen!"

"..."

The enthusiastic employees flattered the car, warmly welcoming it.

Zhou Panpan had just come downstairs after receiving a work call and rushed over immediately.

Shen Yan glanced indifferently at the surrounding crowd before turning back to look at Xie Yan.

The driver who had just driven the car was apologizing to Xie Yan, but Xie Yan couldn't hear anything after meeting Shen Yan's gaze.

It was as if the world had gone silent, and she felt as if her heart skipped a beat.

In the human life cycle, the period before the age of twenty is a stage of rapid growth, including infancy, childhood, and adolescence. People often say that children change every day, which is exactly the case.

After the age of twenty, a person's appearance is basically set and will not change much.

Ten years have passed, and Shen Yan now has the same face as the boy he was ten years ago. He is still handsome and refined, and still dazzling and impossible to ignore.

The difference was that his features were more profound and colder than before, and he seemed to exude an aura of indifference that kept strangers away... no, that kept everyone away.

Eyes facing each other.

Xie Yan looked into Shen Yan's familiar black eyes, which were deep and indifferent, without a ripple, as still as a stagnant pool.

But only for a moment, and he looked away, as if it had just been a casual glance.

Someone called to Shen Yan; it was Zhou Panpan.

She had short hair and was dressed smartly and stylishly. She introduced, "Mr. Shen, that's the company's new secretary over there, her name is... Xie Yan."

After speaking, Zhou Panpan looked at Shen Yan's reaction with some nervousness.

Shen Yan did not turn to look at Xie Yan again, nor did he have any special reaction. His voice was as cold as striking an ice cube, extremely indifferent.

"unnecessary."

After saying that, he lifted his leg and walked towards the company gate.

Shen Yan held his cane in his right hand. His steps were small but steady. However, it was not hard to see that he had a problem with his legs, as if his right leg could not bear weight.

Xie Yan was still reeling from the emotions she had just witnessed when she saw Shen Yan's back as he held his cane, and she was immediately stunned.

His legs...

The crowd ushered Shen Yan into the company. Xie Yan watched him slowly walk away, leaning on his cane, her mind filled with questions.

Fortunately, when Zhou Panpan heard from others that Xie Yan had almost been hit by President Shen's car, she immediately turned to look at her and comforted her, saying that President Shen was just a bit cold, but actually a very nice person.

The two of them slowly walked into the company from behind the crowd.

Xie Yan asked directly, "What happened to his leg?"

Zhou Panpan hesitated for a moment before answering, "I've had conflicts with people before, but you absolutely mustn't mention it in front of him, Mr. Shen has a strong sense of pride."

"Uh-huh."

Xie Yan didn't show it on her face, but she felt a little heavy-hearted.

The brief glance they exchanged reminded her of the villain Shen Yan, whom Shen Yan was supposed to be in the original story.

Shen Yan in the book is like this. He is disabled in his right leg and walks with a cane. His physical difference from ordinary people, coupled with the cold looks and criticism he suffers because of it, makes his psychology extremely distorted.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, he still couldn't save his leg.

Xie Yan suddenly remembered the scene she had seen in the system space: Xie Qingyu pulled Shen Yan out of her coffin and threw him on the ground like a rotten sandbag, kicking him repeatedly. His legs were probably injured by Xie Qingyu at that moment...

Headache.

……

As soon as Shen Yan arrived at the company, he went to the top floor, which was reserved for him.

He was gone for about a month this time, and none of the employees dared to ask where General Manager Shen had gone. After the genuine and feigned warm welcome, everyone went back to their posts and continued working.

Zhou Panpan collected all the project proposals submitted by each group regarding this bidding process and handed them to Shen Yan in his office, with Xie Yan by her side.

Xie Yan silently observed the office's layout and decoration.

The light on the top floor couldn't be better. It had drizzled a little in the morning, and looking out from the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, the sky was so blue it looked like it had been filtered.

The interior is simply decorated, with a large, light-colored screen separating the office, with a desk on one side and a sofa and coffee table on the other.

There's a lounge on the left, but the door is closed so you can't see what's going on.

However, everything in the office looked normal; it was clean and tidy, with no messy items, and everything was in good order.

The desk was next to the wall, and the cane, which looked to be made of valuable wood, rested quietly on the corner of the desk.

The overcoat was hung up, and the man behind the large table was wearing a black suit, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a tall and slender figure.

Shen Yan looked down at the stack of documents on the table, while Zhou Panpan told him about some recent minor issues that had arisen at the company.

If Shen Yan weren't at the company, these things should have been handled by Bai Xiao. However, he's been quite busy lately, so he's left the task to Zhou Panpan, the junior marketing manager.

After reporting on her work, she quietly pulled Xie Yan forward a little, "President Shen, this is a talent that President Bai poached from Nanlin. Don't you really need him?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan finally looked up from the thick stack of documents.

His eyes were always devoid of emotion, as if it didn't matter whether it was a person or anything else in front of him.

Those were eyes so black they had no luster whatsoever, sinister and cold, inspiring fear in those who looked upon them.

Xie Yan lowered her eyes, and after a long while, finally took a step.

In the bright light, she wore a blue suit dress, her long hair tied low, exuding a cool and aloof temperament, yet her eyes and brows were gentle.

"Hello, Mr. Shen, I am Xie Yan."
