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

Instead of being angry, Meng Tang smiled and said, "Very good. Remember every word you said today."

Tong Tong was so angry that she wanted to rush up and fight them, but Meng Tang stopped her.

"What a joke! The word 'regret' doesn't exist in Grandpa's dictionary. Get as far away from me as possible, you're such bad luck!"

Turning his head, the leader greeted Chu Weiwei with even greater enthusiasm: "Director Chu, this way please."

As she got into the car, Tong Tong was still full of resentment. "What the hell are they? They're so condescending and arrogant! They clearly broke the contract first, yet they still dare to be so cocky!"

"This matter is very likely the work of Chu Weiwei."

Tong Tong was still angry with the troublemakers and hadn't caught up with Meng Tang's train of thought. "What? What do you mean by that, Sister Tang? What does this have to do with Chu Weiwei?"

“We signed a contract and joined the film crew without any problems, but Changlu turned its back on us and even sent Chu Weiwei to our door before we left. It’s too much of a coincidence that things happened at the same time. It must have been done on purpose.”

After Meng Tang's analysis, Tong Tong thought it made more and more sense. She slapped her thigh and said, "So it was this woman who was behind this. She can't beat you, Sister Tang, on the surface, so she resorts to such despicable means. It's really shameful!"

"Sister Tang, are we just going to swallow this loss and suffer in silence?"

Meng Tang countered, "Can you swallow that?"

Tong Tong clenched her fists and said firmly, "Of course not!"

"I'm the kind of person who believes that even if I can't get revenge on the spot, I'll still make things worse for him later. I'll take you on a big heist later, you got it?"

Tong Tong's eyes shone brightly, "Let's do it! Sister Tang, you point and I'll go!"

Manxiangfang.

The Xiaomi SU7 stopped in a secluded spot not far from the restaurant, and three heads popped out of the car window at the same time.

Under the watchful eyes of three pairs of eyes, they saw Manager Lü get out of the car, and a short while later another car drove up, and Chu Weiwei and Du Xinyue got out of the car.

Manager Lü, with a wide smile, took the initiative to shake hands.

"Director Chu is here."

After Chu Weiwei politely shook hands with the other party, she asked, "Today, Manager Lü allowed us to film at Baiyun Tower without charging any fees. We should be the ones treating Manager Lü to dinner, not letting him spend money."

"Director Chu, you're being too polite. You're a friend of President Fu, so of course you're an honored guest of our Changlu Film City. I'll naturally make sure to treat you well."

After laying the groundwork, Manager Lü revealed his purpose: "It just so happens that General Manager Fu is here these past two days to inspect the new project at Changlu Film City. I'll be hosting him tonight."

"I was worried that I wouldn't be able to entertain President Fu properly since he rarely comes to Changlu for inspection. But it's a coincidence that you, Director Chu, are a friend of President Fu. You must know his preferences well. I think President Fu will be very happy to have you accompany him!"

Chu Weiwei's smile froze.

It's true that she knew Fu Jishu, but it was many years ago. At that time, the Chu family hadn't gone bankrupt yet, but the Fu family was a top-tier family.

Even the Chu family back then was still far from being able to reach that level.

The two first met at a banquet. At that time, Fu Jishu was still very young and had a hypoglycemic episode that nearly made him faint. It was Chu Weiwei who gave him a piece of candy.

In a way, you could say that Chu Weiwei saved Fu Jishu's life.

But later, the Chu family went bankrupt, and Chu Weiwei was forced to go abroad. After that, she never contacted Fu Jishu again.

Today, she approached Manager Lü and initially only mentioned that Meng Tang had a close relationship with President Song of Baishi Group, and that the Fu family and the Song family were at odds.

If the Fu family finds out that Manager Lü is cooperating with Meng Tang, his job as manager will be over.

But even after uttering these threatening words until his mouth was almost dry, he still couldn't completely persuade Manager Lü.

Indeed, for a mercenary person like him, this level of effort alone is not enough to move him, unless his core interests are touched.

Sure enough, when Chu Weiwei mentioned Fu Jishu, Manager Lü immediately agreed and acted very quickly.

Chu Weiwei never expected that the person she had moved out of desperation would end up feeling like she had shot herself in the foot.

Seeing Manager Lü's confident smile, one could tell that he had probably planned this all along, which was why he agreed so readily at the time.

Someone of Manager Lü's caliber would never normally have the opportunity to meet someone as important as Fu Jishu.

Now that the opportunity is before him, whether he can rise to prominence depends entirely on whether he can entertain Fu Jishu well this time.

Just then, Chu Weiwei delivered herself to our doorstep. We'll find out what she's really like once we take her out for a spin.

But now that they'd already ridden south on donkeys, Chu Weiwei could only maintain a smile: "Mr. Fu is usually very busy, and actually I don't have much contact with him, so I probably don't know him very well..."

"Director Chu is too modest. Compared to us who are groping in the dark, you are our savior. As long as you can entertain President Fu well for Changlu today, Changlu will be open to you free of charge at any time in the future. Just give us a call if you need anything!"

Just as Chu Weiwei was about to say something, a stretched Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up in front of the restaurant.

Not far away, three heads were whispering to each other.

"It's someone surnamed Lü, along with Chu Weiwei and Du Xinyue. These people really were in cahoots behind the scenes. They plotted against us and are now throwing a victory celebration?"

Meng Tang had an expression that said, "I knew it."

Li Su's fist hardened again. "These three bastards are such bad luck. I'll find a sack to put over their heads, otherwise I won't be able to get over this today."

Tong Tong was also eager to try, "Although I'm not as skilled as Teacher Li, I can hand over sacks. I'm very professional!"

"No rush. What I'm more curious about is, what exactly did Chu Weiwei promise this cunning old fox surnamed Lü that would make him break his contract with us and go to such lengths to please Chu Weiwei?"

"Logically speaking, a new director who has just returned from abroad and is completely unknown should not be able to catch the eye of someone surnamed Lü, so there must be some unspeakable secret between the two of them."

Meng Tang was resting her chin on her hand, analyzing the situation, when Li Su suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"Why does that car's license plate number look so familiar?"

When Tong Tong saw the car parked in front of the restaurant, she gasped: "That's a Rolls-Royce! I wonder which rich tycoon is in it. It would be nice to take a picture and feast my eyes on it."

Meng Tang also glanced at the license plate a couple more times. It was a consecutive number license plate, the kind that money couldn't buy. It did look somewhat familiar.

Immediately afterwards, Li Su was heard to gasp in surprise.

"Wait, that looks like Fu..."
