At night, incandescent lights illuminate the room.

Tonight, Chu Yi and Zhong Tingyue will sleep in the master bedroom, while Chu Fang will sleep in the living room.

Chu Yi looked at his sister-in-law, who was wearing a soft and delicate nightgown. The fabric was smooth and soft, like a second skin, gently conforming to her graceful figure.

Her hair might be casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands brushing against her cheeks.

Chu Yi couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful."

Zhong Tingyue smiled and said casually, "Yiyi, you're very pretty too. You must have quite a few suitors at school, right?"

"No way." Chu Yi lowered her head. "I'm not pretty, and I'm not very smart either. My grades are bad, and I'm easily deceived. I often mess things up, and my family has to clean up the mess for me."

"Sister-in-law, I'm such a failure as a person."

Chu also had a clear understanding of its own limitations.

Of the three younger members of the Chu family, she was the worst.

Chu Fang, needless to say, has achieved remarkable success, while his older brother Chu Yongquan was admitted to a prestigious university based on his own abilities.

As the most favored junior in the family, she received the most resources, yet she couldn't compare to her two older brothers.

Zhong Tingyue squatted down, outlining her graceful figure, and cupped Chu Yi's face, saying, "Whether you fail in life or not is not something you can compare yourself to, and there's no specific definition. You don't need to compare yourself to those two; you have your own path."

Chu Yi pouted, "I was just about to set off when I was tricked."

He scammed nearly 100,000 yuan and was subsequently blacklisted...

"So, do you still want to continue down this path?"

"In no mood."

"real?"

"Fake."

Zhong Tingyue pinched her sister-in-law's pretty face: "There's no need to answer so quickly, think about it more."

"oh."

The lights went out, and the silver moonlight shone into the room.

"sister in law."

"Um."

I want to hug you.

"OK."

"Sister-in-law, you smell so good. No wonder my brother likes you so much."

"hehe... ..."

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you some gossip about my brother."

"you say."

"My brother was raised as a girl until he was two years old."

"Um?!"

"My stepmother liked girls and bought a lot of girls' things before my brother was even born. But my brother turned out to be a boy! Even so, my stepmother still treated him like a girl, dressing him in pretty girls' clothes and letting him play with all sorts of cute dolls..."

Chu Yi said softly, "According to Grandpa, my brother squatted to pee until he was two years old."

A slight smile curved Zhong Tingyue's lips.

Mr. Chu is indeed very experienced...

... ...

"Brother Chen."

"Good morning."

Shen Chao hummed a song as he entered the company, greeting his colleagues.

He walked to a workstation, tapped on the table, and his colleague looked up: "Brother Chen."

"Have you done what I told you a few days ago?" Shen Chao asked.

"What's going on?" the colleague asked instinctively, then quickly realized, "Oh, it's about adding that so-called 'Sun Band' to the blacklist. The list has already been submitted, and as long as it's not a big problem, we'll have a result soon."

Shen Chao nodded: "Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner another time."

Shen Chao arrived at his workstation and had just sat down when he saw the general manager's assistant approaching. He immediately stood up and said, "Assistant Liu."

"Shen Chao, the general manager wants to see you."

"Manager, what's wrong?" Shen Chao's pupils widened.

You'll see when you get there.

Assistant Liu didn't say much, turned and left, and Shen Chao hurriedly followed.

Why did the general manager call me?

"The general manager is the most powerful person in the entire company besides the chairman, second only to the chairman. Why would he look for a lowly employee like me?"

"Could it be that he has discovered my talent and is planning to promote me?"

"Hiss... General Manager, you have a good eye."

As Shen Chao walked, he was already fantasizing about getting promoted, receiving a raise, becoming a general manager, taking on the role of CEO, and marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman.

The general manager's office was wide open, and Shen Chao saw the company's general manager and a handsome young man. The general manager was smiling at the young man with a fawning smile on his face.

Who is this?

Suppressing his curiosity, Shen Chao stopped and said, "General Manager, you wanted to see me?"

"It's not me looking for you, it's Young Master Chu looking for you," the general manager said.

"Young Master Chu?" Shen Chao's gaze shifted to the young man, his body slightly bent. "Young Master Chu."

Chu Fang extended his hand: "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chu Fang. I'm sorry to disturb your work."

Shen Chao quickly grasped it: "Don't say that. I'm terrified. Young Master Chu, just tell me what you need to do. I promise to complete the mission."

Shen Chao could tell that this young master Chu's status was far above that of the general manager.

"That's good." Chu Fang smiled. "I have no other instructions. I hope you can apologize and resign from this job."

"Of course..." Shen Chao answered subconsciously, then realized something was wrong, "Um... an apology?"

"Um."

"Quit your job?"

"right."

"What's the meaning?"

Chu Fang, hands in his pockets, said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Chu Fang. I have a younger sister named Chu Yi. We formed a band called the Sun Band. We signed a contract with you a few days ago, but because we violated the contract, we had to pay tens of thousands of yuan in compensation and were put on your so-called blacklist..."

Chu Fang spoke casually, his voice gentle, while Shen Chao felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat visibly broke out on his forehead...

"Young Master Chu, I..."

"No need to explain, I understand your difficulties. Work is paramount, which is normal. But please also understand my difficulties. As your older brother, I have a responsibility and obligation to stand up for my sister."

Chu Fang spoke softly, “You have two choices. First, change jobs and industries; second, change jobs but not industries, but you must get Chu Yi and the others’ forgiveness. Otherwise, you only have one choice.”

Shen Chao swallowed hard: "I understand."

Thank you for your understanding.

Shen Chao walked out of the office, his face pale, as if he hadn't rested for days and nights.

At that moment, he knew... he was doomed!

... ...

At the university, in the classroom.

Sun Yuze slumped over his desk, looking utterly dejected: "Sigh!"

He has sighed countless times these past few days.

"Sigh!" Jiang Lei felt the same way.

"So what if they get blacklisted by the industry? Is it really worth it?" a classmate next to me said. "Do you guys really think you can make it in the music industry and become a big star?"

Sun Yuze's forehead tapped softly against the table.

He knew that it was difficult for ordinary people to enter the music industry, let alone become famous. Whether or not he was banned was not important, but people... always have dreams.

And now, just as they were about to pursue their dreams, those dreams were crushed.

Who can withstand this...?

"Do you regret it?"

Sun Yuze shook his head: "I don't regret it. My mother taught me to be an honest person and to do things conscientiously."

He paused, then continued, "The main thing is, when I glanced at those rich women... I just couldn't eat them."

Sun Yuze now respects those who worship money and are motivated to strive for it.

Respect!

The people around laughed.

"Um?"

Seeing Jiang Lei frown, Sun Yuze asked, "What's wrong?"

"What did Shen Chao say when he asked to meet with our band members?"

"Let's go take a look."
