Walking towards us was Meng Yurou.

For Chu Weiwei, Meng Yurou was her lucky star, like a second parent. If it weren't for Meng Yurou's timely arrival of three million, her drama wouldn't have been able to start filming smoothly yet.

So as soon as Chu Weiwei saw Meng Yurou, she forgot all her previous weakness and grievances and greeted her with a smile.

"Miss Meng, what brings you here today? You should have told me beforehand that you're visiting the set so I could have picked you up."

Meng Yurou always liked being flattered like this. She smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by and saw several film crew vehicles parked outside. There happened to be a film called 'Ten Thousand Heartbeats.' I was thinking that I had never seen a film crew filming before, so I came over to take a look."

Cheng Youjun greeted Meng Yurou: "Hello, Miss Meng."

Meng Yurou looked at him, then at Chu Weiwei, "Mr. Cheng and Director Chu have quite a good relationship."

Before Cheng Youjun could speak, Chu Weiwei smiled and said, "Youjun and I are very good friends. If it weren't for his generous help in playing the male lead, 'Ten Thousand Heartbeats' probably wouldn't have been able to start filming so smoothly."

Cheng Youjun smiled and did not deny Chu Weiwei's words.

But in truth, he felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he always felt that whenever others misunderstood the relationship between the two of them, Chu Weiwei would deny it immediately.

Although they are indeed friends now, he likes Chu Weiwei, and he can also sense that Chu Weiwei has feelings for him.

But every time Chu Weiwei explained so quickly, it gave him the feeling that she didn't want to get involved in any ambiguous relationship with him and was eager to clear herself off.

"You two can chat anytime, I'm going to get my makeup done."

After saying hello, Cheng Youjun went to the dressing room, while Chu Weiwei enthusiastically showed Meng Yurou around.

"Miss Meng, you've come at the perfect time. We were just setting up the tent..."

Meng Yurou wasn't interested in Chu Weiwei's introduction. She casually mentioned, "I saw another film crew's car outside just now. The film was called something like 'The Record of Wrongful Conviction,' which sounded familiar."

Upon hearing about the film crew, Chu Weiwei's smile faded somewhat.

"To be honest, Miss Meng, 'The Forensic Heroes' is the same ancient costume suspense drama that Sister Meng Tang directed. It just so happens that both of our film crews are here at Changlu Film and Television City to film scenes today."

Meng Yurou suddenly realized, "So when I saw Director Chu looking like he was hurt by someone, could it be that my sister and Director Chu had some kind of unpleasantness?"

Chu Weiwei forced a smile. "It's not exactly unpleasant, but it seems that Sister Mengtang didn't like me much from the beginning because of Brother Youjun."

"It's just that Youjun and I are really just ordinary friends, but no matter how I explain, Sister Mengtang's tone is always sarcastic every time she sees me. I don't know what to do."

Meng Yurou patted the back of her hand to comfort her: "My older sister has always been very strong-willed because she didn't grow up with Mom and Dad. She always tries every means to get what she wants."

"She couldn't have Mr. Cheng, but he treated you differently. It's inevitable that she would be jealous. You can't blame yourself; you didn't do anything wrong."

On the surface, it says that Meng Tang has a strong personality, but in reality, it means that she is jealous and petty, can't stand others living better than her, and won't allow others to get what she wants.

Chu Weiwei sighed: "Perhaps it's because not only did Brother Youjun come to my side, but even Sister Mengtang's original choice for the female lead, Du Xinyue, terminated her contract and came to star in 'Ten Thousand Heartbeats' instead."

"Sister Mengtang probably misunderstood that I stole her actor, so she dislikes me even more. However, our two crews will be filming in Changlu, so we will probably have a lot of contact afterward. I hope there won't be any conflicts."

Meng Yurou said, "Director Chu, you are such a kind-hearted person. Even when you are being bullied, you only think about the good things about others."

As they were talking, Meng Yurou suggested that they go for a walk elsewhere.

As I strolled around, I ended up near Baiyun Tower.

From afar, Meng Yurou spotted Meng Tang directing the film crew.

"Is that where my sister filmed the scene? That building looks really unique, the photos must have turned out great, right?"

Chu Weiwei also looked over and nodded, saying, "That's Baiyun Tower. It's said that it took more than three years to build. It uses an antique-style mortise and tenon structure, so it has a very ancient charm and style. Many period dramas have filmed scenes here."

Meng Yurou suddenly asked, "I think this building is quite nice. Director Chu, would you consider adding a scene to be filmed here as well?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Weiwei didn't react for a moment. "Most of the films shot at Baiyun Tower are period dramas. I haven't thought about that yet. Besides, Sister Meng Tang should have signed a contract with the person in charge of the film and television city."

“Other film crews cannot come to film before they finish shooting on location. Of course, if Miss Meng thinks Baiyunlou is good, then after Sister Mengtang and her crew finish filming and leave, I will go and negotiate with the film studio. What do you think?”

However, Meng Yurou said: "The filming time of the crew is very precious, especially for web dramas, which emphasize making the most of every second. I saw that 'Ten Thousand Heartbeats' and 'Witness to a Prosecution' were announced almost one after the other."

"If 'The Wrongful Conviction' is broadcast first, it will inevitably allow them to steal the spotlight. It would be best if they were broadcast on the same day, so that both sides can compete against each other."

"I believe that with Cheng Youjun and Du Xinyue, this on-screen couple, collaborating again, and with Director Chu being a professional director who has returned from studying abroad, he will definitely crush the opponent in every way, right?"

Chu Weiwei couldn't guarantee 100%, but Meng Yurou was, after all, an investor. If she herself lacked confidence in her drama, Meng Yurou might change her mind and withdraw her investment.

“Miss Meng makes a lot of sense. I will speed up the filming process and try to release it at the same time as ‘The Forensic Heroes’. However, I really can’t help with the filming at Baiyun Tower…”

Before Chu Weiwei could finish speaking, Meng Yurou chuckled, "I remember, Changlu Film City is one of the properties under Ruifeng Group?"

Chu Weiwei didn't know what the other party meant, but everyone knew about Ruifeng Group.

That was in Jiangcheng, a company comparable to the Song family's Best Group.

"Changlu is indeed under the Ruifeng Group. Miss Meng, why are you mentioning this?"

Meng Yurou prompted, "Director Chu is also from Jiangcheng, right? He should know about the feud between the Song family and the Fu family. To put it bluntly, the two families don't interfere with each other, but to put it more bluntly, their open and covert struggles are common knowledge."

"If the person in charge of Ruifeng Group finds out that the wife of General Manager Song from Baishi Group came to Changlu Film City, which is under Ruifeng Group, to film scenes, and if that gets to the ears of the Fu family, that person in charge will probably be in deep trouble, right?"
