Transmigration? No, it's transmigration into a book. From an eighth-tier celebrity to an eighteenth-tier one, is it miserable? No, there's also a best friend who transmigrated to an earlier...

"Second Brother, I heard you're planning to invest in a new project recently, is it in the cleaning and cosmetics industry?" Bai Muda asked curiously after the Bai family dinner tonight.
"Yeah, but I've already given up."
"Why?"
"I couldn't find the scent I was looking for."
The eldest brother, Bai Muwei, said, "The toiletries category is quite mixed, with many different scents in one series, and selling toiletries doesn't seem like your style."
Bai Muyin took a sip of wine and said, "As long as you can make money, isn't it all the same?" He then looked at Bai Muda and asked, "Third brother, among your many girlfriends before, did any of them have a natural fragrance?"
"What do you mean by numerous? You can count them on one hand. Pshaw."
"Let's get down to business."
"No... Second Brother, why are you suddenly interested in women's scent? Are you lacking women? Well, Second Brother is almost thirty, you do need women to refresh your mind, so you don't just think about making money all day."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a cold rebuke from Bai Muyin.
Bai Muwei, standing to the side, became even more curious. His younger brother, despite his serious appearance, was actually a bit of a simpleton, especially when it came to relationships: "Second brother, it's time to find a girlfriend. You earn so much money, if you don't find someone to help you spend it, I'm afraid our family bank won't be able to hold it all. Do you have someone in mind lately?"
"Yeah, second brother, you must have plenty of women throwing themselves at you. You should enjoy life while you can."
Bai Muyin frowned, sitting there calmly sipping his wine without saying a word. He knew he shouldn't have asked that question.
Bai Muwei, acting like an older brother, instructed his younger brother: "If you don't like women who offer themselves up, how about I introduce you to someone? If you don't like career women, how about women in public service? I also know some artists, like those from the National Theatre, where the women are all good-looking and have great figures. Or, I know a few from the sports world."
Before Bai Muwei could finish speaking, a murderous aura came over: "It seems that your personal life is quite interesting, brother. Should I talk to your sister-in-law about it?"
"Stop, this is no joke. You're really something, alright? I'm not saying anything more."
Bai Muda, standing to the side, was stunned, resting his chin on his hand. He turned to look in the direction of his sister-in-law and younger sister, and whispered a reproach, "Brother, this is wrong of you. How could you do this behind your sister-in-law's back..."
"Shut up, you brat. I only had a few boyfriends before I got married, but after marriage I only have eyes for your sister-in-law. I'm much better than you."
Bai Muda opened his mouth and said "Oh," looking completely incredulous.
The eldest brother looked resentfully at his unmoved second brother. He knew he shouldn't have teased him; now he was only making things worse.
He's been working on his plans with his wife lately, and he's about to return to Dongjiang. Their future will be in his wife's hands.
With so many social engagements, not only his wife has complaints, but he does too. The two of them are so busy that they can only see each other in the middle of the night. It's tough!
When the family was having dinner, Bai Muyin took out the two bottles of Moutai he had just bought: "These are what I just found. One is for my second uncle, and the other is for my father."
Bai Zhou'en carefully took the bottle from 1971 and examined it closely, as if recalling the past: "Brother, I remember when we were young, we were reluctant to drink this wine. Didn't you hide a few bottles before?"
Bai Zhouyuan smiled and said, "That's right. In the first few years of doing business, I gave them all away."
Bai Muwei and Bai Muda were itching to make a move.
Finally, Bai Muda spoke up, "Uncle, why don't we open a bottle and have our family enjoy it today?"
Bai Zhouyuan smiled and said, "Okay, open a bottle."
Bai Muwei glanced at his younger brother and said, "Where did you find this? You're even collecting wine now?"
"It was just a coincidence. If we happen to meet again, I'll get you another bottle."
Bai Muwei smiled: "Okay, I'll remember that."
Bai Muda chimed in, "Me too. Second brother, if you have any good items in your collection, could you spare one for your younger brother?"
"Get lost, go find it yourself."
