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

Meng Tang gave him a look that said, "You really made me laugh."

"Cheng Youjun, who gave you such an air of superiority? Others put on airs because they have the means to do so. Do you have money? Do you have power? Do you have good looks?"

"With a face wrapped in bandages like that, resembling a walking mummy, you shouldn't come out in broad daylight to scare people. If things go wrong, you might end up being taken to a museum for safekeeping."

Cheng Youjun's hands trembled with anger; no one had ever dared to speak to him like that before. "You..."

"Furthermore, whatever grudges I have with Li Su, that's between us. What does it have to do with you? Who do you think you are, interfering in my investments?"

"Sign the termination agreement and pay the penalty by today, or we'll see you in court."

Having been fawned over by Meng Tang for so long, Cheng Youjun never bowed his head again, remaining aloof and taking Meng Tang's groveling for granted.

Now that the sycophant has stopped fawning over him, he's even publicly humiliating him. How can Cheng Youjun swallow this insult?

"Very well, Meng Tang, don't regret what you said and did today. No matter how much you beg me in the future, I will never see you again!"

Meng Tang was overjoyed and laughed out loud. "Then I really thank you. You don't need to pollute my eyes anymore. I've signed and paid. There's a bus stop to the right after you go out. You're welcome."

Cheng Youjun: "..."

He picked up the pen, his face as dark as could be, and quickly signed the contract.

She slammed her pen down and was about to leave when Tong Tong stopped her.

"Mr. Cheng, the compensation hasn't arrived yet. You're not planning to run away, are you?"

Under the public eye, Cheng Youjun has at least been dragged down to the third-tier actor status by Meng Tang's series of dramas over the past few years.

Now that things have escalated to this point with Meng Tang, if he can't come up with the money now, wouldn't he be inferior to Meng Tang?

Cheng Youjun transferred all the money in his bank card at once.

"Meng Tang, don't ever come kneeling before me crying and begging for mercy again!"

Meng Tang found the barking really noisy and scratched her ear. "Why are there dogs barking in a place where people are supposed to be?"

"you!"

Cheng Youjun couldn't swallow his anger. He glared at her fiercely before storming off without looking back.

"Cheng Youjun just stormed off like that?"

"I'll bet another pack of spicy strips that Director Meng will go after her and bring her back. After all these years of licking her boots, how could he suddenly stop?"

But after Cheng Youjun disappeared from sight, the entire conference room fell into an eerie silence, and Meng Tang did not make any move.

Meanwhile, Li Su, another sycophant, crossed her beautiful legs like a queen and even leisurely admired her newly done manicure.

That sense of relaxation is unmatched.

Then someone spoke up again: "Director Meng, are you really planning to... replace Cheng Youjun with Li Su? But the script is about a male protagonist solving cases. If you replace him with Li Su, wouldn't that be changing his gender as well?"

I've seen male leads replaced, but I've never seen a male lead directly replaced by a female lead.

"The overall framework of the script remains the same, but the protagonist is changed from male to female. There is a shortage of female detectives in China, so we can also do something unexpected."

Before the screenwriter could speak, Meng Tang added, "Then I'll trouble the two screenwriters to revise the script as soon as possible, and I'll pay you extra."

As long as you pay, I'll change the male lead to the female lead, or even rewrite the entire story – no problem at all!

After the script reading ended, Meng Tang snapped her fingers at Li Su.

"Come to my office and sign the contract. The opening ceremony is scheduled for three days from now. Nobody be late."

And so, as if in a dream, everyone saw Meng Tang and Li Su walking together and entering the office.

So this is like Mars colliding with Earth, and the world is about to end?

Only then can we witness, in our lifetime, a day when two mortal enemies, who are irreconcilable, actually shake hands and make peace.

Then, news spread throughout the company that Meng Tang and Cheng Youjun had a falling out, that the new drama had a new lead actor, and that this new lead actor was none other than their arch-enemy, Li Su.

Many people didn't believe it; everyone knew that Meng Tang was Cheng Youjun's ultimate simp.

Suddenly one day, the sycophant not only stopped fawning over his mortal enemy, but also shook hands and made peace with him? What a joke!

Unless the Earth is about to be destroyed and Ultraman falls in love with a monster, this is a magical event that will absolutely never happen!

But it wasn't until someone saw Li Su leaving Meng Tang's office, and being escorted out by Meng Tang's assistant Tong Tong, that it became clear.

Only then did the onlookers have no choice but to believe that the bizarre event had indeed actually happened!

*

Cheng Youjun stormed out of the conference room.

Ben thought to himself that Meng Tang would definitely rush out in less than three seconds.

She admitted it was all a trick of hers and knelt before him, begging for his forgiveness.

If she could take back everything she said before, then considering how many years she had flattered him, he might give her another chance.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance, I heard footsteps behind me.

Cheng Youjun smiled without any surprise. He had always said that this woman only knew how to use such low-level tricks.

"You know you were wrong? Considering we've known each other for so many years, I might give you another chance..."

To everyone's surprise, when Cheng Youjun turned around with great confidence, he saw not Meng Tang, but Chu Weiwei.

Chu Weiwei was even more confused by his words, "Brother Youjun, are you talking to me?"

Cheng Youjun's lips twitched noticeably, and with a hint of resentment, he looked behind Chu Weiwei again.

But apart from Chu Weiwei, there was no third person.

Meng Tang actually didn't chase after them!

Has this woman really gone mad? After all this, she still hasn't come over and apologized to him?

"No, Weiwei, what brings you here?"

Chu Weiwei asked first, "Brother Youjun, is your injury alright? I heard you came to Hongke, and I thought you had recovered and been discharged from the hospital, so I rushed over to see you."

When speaking to Chu Weiwei, Cheng Youjun's tone was noticeably gentler: "It's just a minor injury, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"I'm sorry, if I hadn't called you yesterday, you wouldn't have been injured. I heard that the investment for Sister Mengtang's new drama has been secured and filming will begin soon."

"But at this time, Brother Youjun, you've been injured, and your face is badly hurt. I'm afraid you won't be able to film normally for a while, right?"

As she spoke, Chu Weiwei shed tears of guilt, wiping them away with the back of her hand in a touching manner.

Sure enough, when Cheng Youjun saw his beloved crying, he immediately felt heartbroken and went forward to comfort her.

“What happened yesterday has nothing to do with you, Weiwei, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”

While gently wiping away Chu Weiwei's tears, she said, "I will no longer work with that woman Meng Tang. I have just signed the termination contract and will no longer appear in 'The Wrongful Conspiracy'."
