Best friend turned enemy? Marrying the villain, if she runs, I'll run too.

It's laughable that Cheng Youjun, that spineless coward who relies on his wife's connections and backdoors, actually has the nerve to look down on those who get in through connections.

Isn't this just like people of the same kind looking down on each other?

This is something that would be looked down upon in the back-door dealing circle.

Meng Tang readily agreed: "Mr. Sun's nephew is just as handsome as Mr. Sun. It's my honor to have him join my production team. Don't worry, I will definitely arrange the most suitable role for your nephew."

Mr. Sun grinned broadly, "I love talking to straightforward people like you, Xiao Meng. It'll be a pleasure working with you!"

The contract was successfully signed.

The more harmonious the atmosphere was in the private room, the more frustrated Chu Weiwei was as she waited anxiously in the lobby.

Cheng Youjun couldn't get through to Meng Tang on the phone, so he could only ask her to wait at the restaurant for a while, and he would come over in person.

With so many private rooms in the restaurant, Chu Weiwei couldn't go looking for them one by one, so she could only wait in the lobby.

After Song Guanting finished his inspection of the construction site, it was lunchtime.

There were quite a few senior executives accompanying them, and Assistant Zhou booked a table at the nearest restaurant to the construction site.

As Song Guanting got out of the car, he heard Assistant Zhou exclaim, "That car looks just like the one you just bought for your wife, Mr. Song. It seems that this type of electric car is very popular among young people these days."

The word "wife" successfully caught Song Guanting's attention, and he followed Assistant Zhou's gaze.

Sure enough, there it was, a Xiaomi SU7 in a rosy purple color, parked in a parking space not far away.

Upon closer inspection of the license plate, wasn't that Meng Tang's car?

A glint of light flashed in Song Guanting's eyes, guessing that Meng Tang must have also eaten at this restaurant for lunch today.

As he entered the restaurant, Song Guanting glanced toward the service desk.

"Find out which private room she's in and send her a bottle of wine."

Song Guanting had previously heard Meng Tang complain that the film and television company she worked for was newly established, penniless, and that everyone from the boss to the manager was extremely stingy.

Every time I go out to attract investment, the approved budget is pitifully small, and I have to be very careful with my spending to avoid exceeding it.

I imagine that Meng Tang is treating the client to dinner today to the lowest-class kind, so there probably won't be any good wine.

The worst thing you can do in business is to be stingy. Offering an expensive bottle of wine will not only make the other party feel valued, but it will also demonstrate your strength and increase the chances of a successful negotiation.

Assistant Zhou immediately understood and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Don't let Mr. Song's cold demeanor fool you; when he's with his wife, he's incredibly considerate and attentive—the perfect husband!

"Yes, Mr. Song."

Assistant Zhou went to handle some business, and Song Guanting was about to walk towards the private room when a surprised voice sounded behind him: "Mr. Song?"

Song Guanting looked up.

He stared at the woman in the little white dress for a few seconds.

Chu Weiwei assumed that the other party must have recognized her, so she took the initiative to walk over and greet him: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to run into Mr. Song here."

To everyone's surprise, Song Guanting calmly asked, his eyes completely unwavering, "Who are you?"

Chu Weiwei's smile froze.

From childhood to adulthood, Chu Weiwei has always been the center of attention.

She was the school beauty when she was in school, and her beauty would definitely turn heads wherever she went.

Besides, she and Song Guanting had known each other since childhood, but they lost contact when the Chu family went bankrupt and she was forced to go abroad.

However, she and Song Guanting had a good relationship when they were young, and she had even saved Song Guanting's life. Even with this life-saving debt, Song Guanting shouldn't have forgotten her.

Besides, they had bumped into each other on the streets of France just a few days ago.

Chu Weiwei never expected that Song Guanting would forget her again in the blink of an eye.

"It seems Mr. Song has a bad memory. Indeed, it's been many years since we last met, since the incident in my family. The last time we met was on the streets of France, when I accidentally bumped into your car because I was in a hurry."

Song Guanting remembered and gave a faint "hmm": "Chu Weiwei."

"It's my honor that someone as busy as Mr. Song would remember my name. Mr. Song, do you also come to Laifu for a meal?"

Are we just passing by a restaurant to take photos instead of eating?

"It's like this, excuse me, could I take a few minutes of your time, Mr. Song?"

Chu Weiwei thought that no matter what, she couldn't let this trip go to waste.

When she first joined Redke, the company assigned her a project. She had to do well on this first project in order to gain a foothold in the company.

Song Guanting is the president of Baishi Group, worth hundreds of billions, and one of the richest people in Jiangcheng.

Although she and Song Guanting hadn't seen each other for many years, they still had a childhood bond. If they could secure investment from Best Inc., what drama couldn't they make?

"I am currently a director and I am currently preparing for a contemporary romance drama. The script is very interesting. I wonder if Mr. Song is interested in the film and television industry?"

Song Guanting glanced at Chu Weiwei again.

But he wasn't interested in the film and television industry; rather, it was because Chu Weiwei said she was a director, and his young wife was also a director—the same profession.

Before Chu Weiwei could introduce her project in detail, Song Guanting raised his left hand and pointed to his wristwatch.

He meant he was in a hurry and didn't have time to chat with her.

Chu Weiwei stopped there, smiling politely: "If Mr. Song is busy, then I won't bother you any longer."

"This is my business card. I never expected that I would have the opportunity to meet Mr. Song again after we parted ways when we were children. I personally hope to cooperate with Best Inc."

In fact, Chu Weiwei knew in her heart that someone as powerful as Song Guanting could not be easily persuaded to invest.

She deliberately brought up her childhood in front of Song Guanting.

Even though a long time has passed, with such indirect hints, as long as Song Guanting has a good memory, he should be able to recall the kindness she showed him back then.

Sure enough, Song Guanting, who was about to leave, paused again, his gaze falling on the business card.

A moment later, two slender fingers accepted the business card.

Chu Weiwei smiled gently again, "Then I wish Mr. Song a pleasant meal."

Song Guanting didn't linger and walked towards the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, someone hurriedly ran into the restaurant.

The person was wearing a mask and sunglasses, and their attire made them stand out in the crowd.

The main reason is that normal people wouldn't cover themselves up so tightly like a thief.

This person went straight to Chu Weiwei as soon as he arrived.

When Chu Weiwei saw who it was, her eyes reddened slightly with grievance. "Brother Youjun, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

When Cheng Youjun saw that his beloved's eyes were red, he immediately felt heartbroken and comforted her.

"It's nothing. Hasn't Meng Tang sent someone to take you there yet?"

Chu Weiwei shook her head dejectedly, "It's been almost an hour. The negotiations over there are probably about to end. Sister Mengtang was probably too busy and forgot. It's okay."

Cheng Youjun frowned as he listened. "It's just a dinner with the investors. How busy could she be? I think she's doing this on purpose. She's jealous that you graduated from a prestigious university and is afraid you'll take her job, which is why she's so hostile towards you."
