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

Sure enough, men become instantly speechless when money is mentioned.

"I'm an actor, not a producer, and I know absolutely nothing about investing. How could I possibly steal an investor's job?"

While making excuses for his failure to do his job, Cheng Youjun said to the manager, "Manager, as long as Weiwei gets the script for 'The Mirror of Splendor' to film, I'm willing to play the male lead for free."

"Such an opportunity is extremely rare. If it weren't for Weiwei's sake, I wouldn't have agreed to these conditions. What do you say?"

Meng Tang burst out laughing.

Seeing her mocking smile, Cheng Youjun asked unhappily, "What are you laughing at?"

"I laugh at someone who is just a minor celebrity, with only a few poorly made web dramas to his name, yet he acts like a big shot and thinks he is an international superstar?"

"You even acted for free. Don't you forget how netizens criticized your disfiguring acting skills in the comments section just because Du Xinyue was arrested?"

"I wouldn't even take a few hundred thousand yuan as a fee for someone like you, so don't stand here and embarrass yourself."

Meng Tang's insults were incredibly sophisticated, instantly turning Cheng Youjun's face pale and then red with anger. "You..."

The manager waved his hand and said, "The company has decided to hand over the script 'The Mirror of Splendor' to Xiao Meng for filming. If you have any objections, Chu Weiwei, go talk to the higher-ups. Making a scene with me here won't do any good."

Chu Weiwei bit her lip in grievance, unable to bear the mocking looks and criticism from her colleagues any longer. She wiped away her tears and ran away.

While pursuing Meng Tang, Cheng Youjun didn't forget to use PUA tactics: "Bring the whole company to bully and humiliate Weiwei, making her run away. Are you satisfied now?"

"If anything happens to Weiwei, you, Meng Tang, will be the culprit!"

Meng Tang hugged her knees, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Oh, I'm so scared. If something happens to her, you must come find me. I'll definitely burn incense for her and offer her a Tomson Riviera. After all, she didn't experience the life of the rich in her life, so she should at least get some satisfaction after she dies."

Cheng Youjun was so angry that his hands trembled, but Meng Tang's words were too sharp, and he couldn't refute her. He could only leave with the words "You just wait," and then turn around and chase after Chu Weiwei.

Having infuriated the male and female protagonists, Meng Tang had achieved her goal for the day, so there was no need for her to feign politeness with these so-called colleagues.

"Manager, I still need to coordinate with the 'Feng Hua Jian' project. You guys have fun, I'll be going now."

Cheng Youjun caught up with Chu Weiwei, took her hand and comforted her: "Weiwei, don't be too sad. I'm here, I will definitely help you."

Chu Weiwei looked at him with teary eyes, "But the company has already handed over the 'Feng Hua Jian' project to Meng Tang. Unless I can get more investment than her, Brother Youjun, are you willing to support me as an investor?"

"The Mirror of Glory" is a project worth 100 million yuan. Cheng Youjun has only been in the industry for a few years and is currently just a minor celebrity from a small county. How could he possibly raise 100 million yuan?

His eyes darted around as he changed the subject: "I don't have that much money on hand right now, and you know I'm not very famous. But I've been in the industry for a while and know some big shots. I can help you get in touch with them."

Chu Weiwei could only pin her hopes on Cheng Youjun, but who knew that after making several phone calls...

The other party either didn't answer, or if they did, they would immediately refuse after hearing him introduce himself, or even completely forget that he existed, saying they would call the police if he made another scam call, and then block him.

Not only did he fail to impress his sweetheart, but he also made a fool of himself, leaving Cheng Youjun looking rather embarrassed.

"Weiwei, don't worry, let me think of another report. You must be tired today, go back and rest, and wait for my news."

But Chu Weiwei's eyes revealed her disappointment in Cheng Youjun.

She couldn't help but think that if it were Song Guanting or Fu Jishu, with their skills and abilities, it would be a piece of cake for them to help her win back the "Feng Hua Jian" project.

She could have relied on the favors she had shown to Song Guanting and Fu Jishu, and since they had known each other since childhood, they could at least be considered childhood sweethearts.

If it weren't for Meng Tang and Li Su, she might have developed a relationship with either of them.

With these two richest men in Jiangcheng backing her up, wouldn't resources be eagerly offered to her?

But Meng Tang and Li Su ruined such a good opportunity.

Song Guanting and Fu Jishu are truly blind and foolish. They abandoned their childhood sweetheart, and instead blindly obeyed Meng Tang and Li Su. What idiots!

Thinking about this, Chu Weiwei looked down on Cheng Youjun even more.

Whenever she was in trouble, Cheng Youjun could only say that he would find a way, but in reality, he never succeeded.

What a waste.

But on the surface, Chu Weiwei still showed a grateful expression, "Thank you, Brother Youjun, I'm sorry to have troubled you again."

Cheng Youjun held her hand emotionally, "Weiwei, how can your matter be called trouble?"

Just as Cheng Youjun was about to express his feelings, Chu Weiwei quietly withdrew her hand.

"I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now. If there's any progress, just give me a call, Brother Youjun."

As Cheng Youjun watched Chu Weiwei's retreating figure, he vaguely sensed that she seemed somewhat resistant to his contact.

But Cheng Youjun immediately dismissed the idea, saying that Weiwei was so beautiful and kind-hearted, how could she possibly be resistant to him?

Chu Weiwei knew that Cheng Youjun was unreliable, and for now, there was only one way to go: to find the higher-ups at Red Hacker.

Only by changing the minds of the higher-ups can the project be snatched back from Meng Tang.

However, using connections costs money. Chu Weiwei had just returned to China, and the Chu family had long since gone bankrupt, so she naturally couldn't come up with much money on her own.

In the end, Cheng Youjun, the sucker, had to foot the bill. Upon hearing that Chu Weiwei was short of money, Cheng Youjun transferred 100,000 yuan to her without hesitation.

After several twists and turns, Chu Weiwei finally learned about the itinerary of Chairman Wang, one of the directors of Red Hack.

At Chairman Wang's dinner party that day, Chu Weiwei dressed up as a waitress, hoping to make a good impression on him.

Just then, they ran into Chairman Wang drinking with someone, and Chu Weiwei immediately stepped forward, very attentively helping Chairman Wang fend off the drinks.

"On behalf of Chairman Wang, I toast to everyone!"

Chairman Wang sized up the slender woman in front of him. "Who are you?"

"Mr. Wang, you are very busy and may not have met me. I am Chu Weiwei, a new director who just joined Red Hacker Pictures this year."

As a seasoned veteran in the business world, Chairman Wang saw through Chu Weiwei's thoughts at a glance.

But he didn't refuse; instead, he reached out and patted Chu Weiwei's bottom.

"It seems that when we recruit directors, we still look at their looks. Director Chu's face is just as good as that of a celebrity."
