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

However arrogant Chu Weiwei and her group were yesterday, they are now in a sorry state after being kicked out of the film studio.

Tong Tong is a master at kicking someone when they're down. Upon seeing this group of people, she immediately put on her dramatic act, covering her mouth and feigning surprise.

"Hey, isn't this the famous professional director Chu Weiwei, who just returned from studying abroad? Why are you not filming properly? You've been kicked out along with your equipment?"

"Didn't you say yesterday that Changlu Film City would be open to you for free from now on, and you could film wherever you wanted? How come you can't even get in the door today?"

"They say that fortunes change, but this retribution came way too fast! They say if you do too many bad things, you shouldn't walk at night, or you might encounter a ghost and have such bad luck that even drinking water will cause you to choke!"

When the crew saw that Chu Weiwei's people had been kicked out, they immediately felt relieved and joined Tong Tong in echoing their sentiments.

"Exactly, exactly, serves them right."

"We couldn't film in Changlu yesterday, it must have been this woman's doing."

"This is karma! Fortunately, our Director Meng is capable. Not only can we film in Changlu in the future, but all the scenic spots in Changlu will be open to us for free and with priority access. This is an opportunity that even famous directors don't have!"

That's true. As a film and television city meticulously built by Ruifeng Group, it is not only a popular tourist destination but also a popular filming location for movies and TV dramas.

Many popular domestic films and television dramas have been filmed in Changlu.

However, even internationally renowned directors have to sign a contract with Changlu in advance and pay a certain rental fee if they want to film in Changlu.

The benefits enjoyed by Meng Tang's film crew were unparalleled.

Chu Weiwei gritted her teeth, but swallowed back all the resentment and grievances in her heart, and took the initiative to step forward.

"Sister Mengtang, what happened before really has nothing to do with me. I just said it unintentionally when I was signing the contract with Lü Jiye, but I never expected it."

"In order to curry favor with President Fu, Lü Jiye actually did such a thing to you and the crew. But I also bear responsibility for this, and I sincerely apologize to you here."

As she spoke, Chu Weiwei shed tears, adopting a humble and submissive demeanor. "It's just that many locations in my drama need to be filmed in Changlu. I've only been filming for one day, and there are still many scenes left to film."

“I know you’ve always been kind-hearted, Sister Mengtang, and we’re colleagues at the same company. Could you please put in a good word for us with Changlu so we can continue filming here?”

"I will always remember Sister Mengtang's kindness today, and I will repay it many times over in the future, okay?"

As expected of a seemingly innocent but actually manipulative female lead, she handles this whole "playing the victim" act with ease.

By placing himself in the position of the weak, he ostensibly asked Meng Tang for help, but in reality, he was attempting to use moral constraints to hold Meng Tang back.

She had already made herself sound so pitiful; if Meng Tang didn't agree, it would make her seem exceptionally petty.

Unfortunately, her plan backfired.

Is Meng Tang the kind of person who would be threatened?

She never plays by the rules.

"Director Chu, please don't try to morally blackmail me. I have everything, but the only thing I lack is manners. I'm not only not kind-hearted, but I'm also extremely petty and vindictive."

"If someone does me a favor, I will repay them tenfold; but if someone plots against me behind my back, I will repay them a thousandfold."

Meng Tang gave Chu Weiwei a fake smile that said, "You little brat, try to act with me." With a few words, he successfully froze the fake smile on Chu Weiwei's face.

"Sister Mengtang, do you... do you want me to kneel down before you'll give my film crew a chance to shoot on location?"

Chu Weiwei bit her lower lip in grievance, with three parts shame and four parts helplessness, and knelt down in front of Meng Tang.

"Weiwei, don't kneel before her!"

Seeing his beloved being humiliated like this, Cheng Youjun was immediately enraged. Ignoring the many people watching, he took a few steps forward, grabbed Chu Weiwei's arm, and pulled her behind him.

He stood in front of Chu Weiwei like a hero, protecting her, and glared angrily at Meng Tang.

"Meng Tang, don't go too far. Isn't it because I went to Weiwei's film crew that you terminated your contract and you're resentful that you've been deliberately targeting Weiwei time and time again?"

"I can let bygones be bygones. How about this, I can make a cameo appearance in your film crew without taking any payment, but on the condition that you tell Changlu Film City so that Weiwei's crew can film there."

Cheng Youjun was so confident that, given his position in Meng Tang's heart, he had already made such concessions. If this woman still didn't agree, then she would be ungrateful and pretending to be innocent after getting a good deal.

"This is the biggest concession I can make, Meng Tang. You've been following me for so long, you should know my personality best. I always keep my word, and giving you this opportunity is already a great privilege..."

Before Cheng Youjun could finish speaking, Meng Tang burst out laughing as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

The laughter was incredibly sarcastic.

"Cheng Youjun, have I given you face? That's why you can say such shameless things? And you call that the biggest concession? What, am I supposed to thank you for the huge sacrifice you made for your cameo appearance?"

Cheng Youjun said arrogantly, "Although you were wrong before, considering that we've known each other for a while, I'm still willing to give you another chance to make amends..."

"No, please don't! Use this opportunity to annoy your sweetheart Chu Weiwei, but please don't use it to annoy me."

Meng Tang waved her hands repeatedly, feigning shock, and refused three times.

"Furthermore, you've got one thing wrong. It wasn't you who terminated my contract, but me who terminated yours. I kicked you out of my production team. So how can you have the nerve to say that my cameo appearance is a favor to me?"

"Do you think I'd want a fool I kicked out? Get back to where you came from. You can mess with Chu Weiwei, but don't you dare get involved with my crew. I don't want to be associated with bad luck."

As she spoke, Meng Tang waved her hand in front of her nose as if she had smelled something foul, showing great disgust.

This barrage of rebuttals and belittling from beginning to end had Tong Tong and the others behind her laughing so hard they could barely stand up straight.

When it comes to roasting people, you have to look to Meng Dao. Your sister will always be your sister!

Cheng Youjun's face was a mix of emotions, but if Meng Tang didn't give in, he wouldn't be able to film the scenes for his drama, and it would be even more impossible for it to be broadcast smoothly.

He could only grit his teeth, take a step forward, lower his voice, and offer what he considered to be very tempting terms.

"Meng Tang, as long as you agree to let Weiwei's film crew film in Changlu, I will grant you the request you made earlier and have a candlelight dinner with you."

"I know this is what you've always wanted. Now that I've agreed, stop messing around."
