A song called "The You of the Past" has prompted the entire internet to beg me not to leav

Early in the morning, in the courtyard of a villa on a hillside in Xinghai City, Lin Yan lay under the shade of a tree, his face covered with a large straw hat, with chilled watermelon and soda on the small tea table beside him.

The main focus is on a paid lifestyle of health preservation and taking it easy.

Shen Qingqiu, dressed in a silk loungewear outfit, strolled over with a cup of hand-drip coffee in her hand and gently nudged his calf with her toe.

"Director Lin, you're really enjoying yourself." Shen Qingqiu's tone was somewhat teasing.

Lin Yan pulled off his straw hat, squinted at her, and grinned: "What, boss doesn't like me, this workplace jellyfish? You want to fire me? I'd love to, settle the breach of contract fee right away."

"Stop being so glib." Shen Qingqiu pulled up a chair and sat down, crossing his long legs. "Xingyao has made a move."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow, grabbed a slice of watermelon, and took a big bite: "President Zhao has been discharged? That's a medical miracle! He actually didn't give up on treatment?"

Shen Qingqiu opened the internal group chat on her phone and shoved the screen directly in front of him.

"See for yourself. Last night, President Zhao sent people to flirt with all our senior executives and key artists in private."

Lin Yan took the phone and scanned the QR code. Good heavens, he was shocked by what he saw.

Group name: [Qingqiu Working Group (excluding Lin Yan)].

However, just now, the group owner, Lao Liang, had already changed the name to "Love and Affection Anti-Star Alliance".

The first person to lose his temper in the group was Chen Yu, the former top influencer and now the "cleaning captain".

He directly sent a screenshot of the chat, on the other end of which was Xingyao's vice president, who casually mentioned an 80 million signing fee, plus the entire company's resources to help him rebuild his top-tier image.

Chen Yu (voiceover): "Family members, who understands this?! Those crazy folks at Xingyao messaged me in the middle of the night, wanting to pay 80 million to come back and be my slave. Bah! Following Brother Lin, I eat and drink well every day, and I can even go fishing on the island when I have nothing to do. 80 million to buy my noble soul? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Old Liang followed suit and showed up.

The same screenshot shows Xingyao promising to offer him the position of music director and triple his annual salary if he brings his team to switch jobs.

Old Liang: "This guy's magical powers are probably above mine. He actually thinks he can win me over by throwing money at me? I'm President Lin's number one fan! I could study one of President Lin's songs for half my life. I'm afraid of tarnishing my resume by working for this kind of assembly-line garbage company. Trying to poach people with big paychecks? Does Xingyao think this is still ten years ago?"

Seeing that the conversation was going well, Xue Zhiqian, the washed-up love song prince who made a comeback by washing dishes, also joined in.

Xue Zhiqian: "Why didn't you say anything when you were blacklisting me? Now that Brother Lin's book 'The Actor' is popular, you're rushing here to reap the rewards? I have to go wash the dishes later, don't mention it!"

The group chat was filled with joy.

Forget about being tempted, these people completely treated Xingyao's poaching attempt like a quick morning snack, sending all sorts of sarcastic and sarcastic emojis flying around.

Administrative Supervisor Xiao Zhang: "Xingyao HR actually added me, offering a 300,000 yuan annual salary. What the heck! I immediately blocked her. Working with President Shen and Brother Lin, my year-end bonus is more than that!"

Legal counsel Zhang: "Everyone, calm down. I've already taken screenshots and secured all the evidence of Xingyao's malicious poaching. As long as President Shen agrees, we'll sue them for unfair competition and teach them a lesson."

Looking at the neat and orderly line, Lin Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"The main focus is on authenticity." Lin Yan tossed the phone back to Shen Qingqiu.

"This CEO Zhao of Xingyao, his brain must have run away from home. A hundred million sounds like a scare tactic, but look at our group of brilliant minds, do we look like we're short of money now?"

Shen Qingqiu's lips curved into a beautiful smile, his eyes shining brightly.

"It's not a matter of money. Because they know perfectly well that following you, this monster, even a little bit of money slipping through their fingers is a hundred times better than the meager salary at Xingyao."

This is not just simple loyalty; it is a belief that has been welded to the bone after being repeatedly crushed by absolute power.

In this studio, Lin Yan is the truth.

"You're really something." Lin Yan yawned. "But Lao Zhang is right, keep acting. Since Xingyao wants to play, let's play a big game with them."

Lin Yan took out his phone and slowly typed a line of text in the group.

Lin Yan: "Stop cursing, stop cursing. Xingyao isn't having an easy time either. Here's what we'll do: Chen Yu, go back to that vice president and say, 'Who do you think you are with 80 million? We need to raise the price.' Lao Liang, tell them you want 10% of Xingyao's original shares. Lao Xue, you can set your expectations higher. Just say you want to be Xingyao's CEO. Just tease them a bit, consider it a bit of fun for today."

The group chat exploded instantly, with messages like "Received," "Brother Lin is awesome," and "I love this bamboo shoot!" flooding the screen.

One hour later.

Starry Entertainment Headquarters, President's Office.

When General Manager Zhao heard his subordinate's report, his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"President Zhao...the people from Qingqiu Studio have responded." The vice president said, wiping away sweat and trembling.

"Tell me! Is the money too little? Add more! As long as we can destroy Lin Yan's base, I'll pay any amount!" Boss Zhao roared through gritted teeth.

"It's really not about the money..." The vice president swallowed hard and shakily pulled up a few screenshots.

"Chen Yu said his net worth is now at least five small goals. Lao Liang specifically asked for our company's original shares. As for Xue Zhiqian... he said he'd consider switching jobs, but only if you personally wash dishes at Qingqiu Studio for three months..."

"What?!" President Zhao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his blood pressure spiked to over 200 on the spot.

Seeing the extremely perfunctory replies in the screenshots, which clearly showed that he was being treated like a fool, President Zhao immediately realized what was going on.

What they thought was a flawless poaching plan, with a budget of 100 million, was nothing more than a clown performance in the eyes of others!

"This is outrageous! Lin Yan... Shen Qingqiu!"

Mr. Zhao clutched his throbbing chest, his vision blurred, and his legs gave way, causing him to fall backward.

"Mr. Zhao! Mr. Zhao, what's wrong?! Call an ambulance quickly!"

Chaos erupted once again inside the Starry Entertainment building.

Meanwhile, in the hillside villa in Xinghai City, Lin Yan had already turned over, pulled up his straw hat, and comfortably gone back to sleep.

In this game, Mr. Zhao didn't even manage to touch Lin Yan's clothes, and he successfully ended up in the hospital again.
