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

Meng Tang expressed three seconds of sympathy for Li Su, who was so young and whose husband was still alive but had no sexual happiness, which was equivalent to being a widow.

That's more than enough. After all, she herself is someone with an excessively "sexually fulfilling life," and she's afraid she'll collapse in bed. This could be considered a death in the line of duty, right?

"Sister Tang, why aren't you coming in yet..."

Just then, Tong Tong ran out of the company and saw Meng Tang seemingly with someone, chatting intimately.

Meng Tang hadn't even reacted yet, while Li Su, who had just put on a band-aid and was combing her long hair, was already there.

His reaction was incredibly quick; he shoved Meng Tang forward.

In fact, Meng Tang controlled her strength very well and reacted quickly, cooperating quite well, pretending to stumble forward.

"Can't you see where you're parking? You're blocking my car! I ran into you as soon as I stepped out the door. What an unlucky day!"

Li Su pointed at Meng Tang's nose, and she immediately put the role of the character into action; she truly is a professional actress.

Meng Tang, naturally, wouldn't back down either, and retorted with her hands on her hips: "Are you blind? I was here first, so you should be the one to give way!"

Tong Tong recognized that the person with Meng Tang was Li Su, and upon hearing the two arguing at each other at the company entrance, she rushed forward to skillfully break them up.

"Sister Tang, calm down. We're at the company entrance, and there are people walking by. If the manager finds out, we'll get another lecture. Let's just avoid seeing it and worrying about it."

Fearing that Meng Tang would not let it go, she quietly added in Meng Tang's ear: "Besides, Sister Tang, didn't you ask the screenwriter to give her a brainless and vicious female supporting role who died a terrible death later on?"

"She's already suffered so much, as a big director, let's not hold a grudge against a minor supporting character. Come on, everyone's here, we're just waiting for you, Sister Tang!"

Having mediated so many disputes, Tong Tong has become quite experienced in doing so.

She only learned after becoming Meng Tang's assistant that Meng Tang and this obscure 18th-tier celebrity named Li Su were mortal enemies.

Both of them like Cheng Youjun. As the saying goes, in the eyes of a toxic fan, there is no room for another toxic fan.

Unfortunately, one of them is a director and the other is an actor.

Moreover, both of them entered the entertainment industry for Cheng Youjun. Meng Tang only acted for Cheng Youjun, and Li Su only acted in dramas featuring Cheng Youjun.

As a result, the two arch-rivals had no choice but to run into each other in the same film crew.

Although Li Su is a minor celebrity, she comes from a wealthy family and is a rich heiress. In order to get into the production team and act with Cheng Youjun, she spends money and pulls strings, going to any lengths to do so.

The company forced Li Su into the project for the sake of money. During the filming of the drama, the two of them often revolved around Cheng Youjun on set, and they would often fight over a disagreement, even tearing each other's hair.

Meng Tang adopted an arrogant attitude, as if she was reluctantly agreeing and not wanting to argue with the other party.

As he turned around, he quickly glanced at Li Su Bking.

Meng Tang: Sister, your acting has improved! Thumbs up for your on-the-spot reaction!

Li Su tossed her long hair like a queen: "So-so, I could barely muster one-tenth of my strength."

Inside the meeting room, almost all the crew members and actors had arrived.

Upon seeing Meng Tang and Li Su enter almost simultaneously, they couldn't help but feel a jolt.

They all sighed inwardly, realizing that today's script reading was going to end in discord once again!

No wonder they say two tigers cannot share one mountain, unless one is male and the other female.

According to people in the company, Meng Tang and Li Su are two people whose energies are incompatible from birth.

In addition, they both liked the same man, and fought tooth and nail for him, making quite a few embarrassing mistakes.

In fact, many people in the company were secretly gossiping about the two of them behind their backs.

As the chief director, Meng Tang naturally sat in the main seat.

Li Su is just a minor supporting character, and a villain at that, so she's at the very end.

Even in the corner, after she sat down, she crossed her long, snow-white legs, her cold and beautiful face rarely smiling, like a queen descending, making people dare not be negligent.

An obscure actress, yet she exudes a queen-like aura that no one dares to mess with from ten meters away.

After glancing around, Meng Tang asked, "Why hasn't the male lead arrived yet?"

He glanced at the time again and became even more displeased.

"What time is it? Are we expecting the entire crew to wait for him?"

When Meng Tang got angry, everyone in the conference room was momentarily stunned.

Wait, is Meng Tang blaming Cheng Youjun for being late?

No way! You know, Meng Tang's simping of Cheng Youjun is unmatched. Oh wait, there's also Li Su. The two of them are equally adept at being simps.

Even if Cheng Youjun were more than ten minutes late, or even if he didn't come at all, or didn't give any prior notice, Meng Tang wouldn't be angry.

They even worried that the other person might be sick or have encountered some trouble.

It would never be like today, where, after Cheng Youjun was more than ten minutes late, someone directly pointed at him and berated him for being unpunctual during the meeting.

Not to mention others, even Tong Tong, who was the assistant, was stunned.

Meng Tang looked at her and said, "What are you standing there for? Call Cheng Youjun's agent. If he doesn't arrive within half an hour, tell him to find someone else to play the role. We're just a small family, we can't afford to serve this big shot."

Everyone was shocked.

What? Meng Tang is actually changing the male lead?

Meng Tang, the ultimate simp, is actually going to replace her idol?

No way, no way, could they be hallucinating because they woke up too early? Wasn't this drama originally tailor-made for Cheng Youjun?

Now that the investment and production team are in place, how come they're preparing to replace the actor at the last minute?

Oh, they know. It must be Meng Tang's latest trick, a way of playing hard to get.

She pretended to be angry with the other party, but in reality, it was to attract Cheng Youjun's attention.

That's a brilliant move!

Tong Tong called her agent and learned that Cheng Youjun had been attacked at a hotel yesterday and was still recovering in the hospital, so he probably wouldn't be able to attend the script reading.

Everyone then remembered, "Yesterday we saw on the trending topics that Cheng Youjun was filmed by passersby being carried into an ambulance. It seems this is true?"

"It's said that he was retaliated against, and he was beaten so badly that his head was bleeding. I saw the photos yesterday and I was so scared that I couldn't sleep."

"Really? Cheng Youjun is so badly injured, how come Director Meng still has the time to hold a script reading? Wasn't he already rushing to take care of him?"

"Didn't Li Su come too, but didn't go to the hospital to visit Cheng Youjun?"

"Could it be that the two of them are unaware of Cheng Youjun's accident?"

"Of course they don't know. Otherwise, given how much they fawn over Cheng Youjun, how could they be sitting so calmly after their idol got into trouble?"

Someone chuckled and joked, "I bet a few spicy strips that in less than ten seconds, Director Meng and Li Su will be shocked and rush out to check on Cheng Youjun. They won't let go of such a good opportunity to perform."
