"Director! Director!" Wen Xingming cried out like a rooster at the door of the dressing room, pointing angrily at the man who was the same height as him.
The staff present tried to minimize their presence, fearing that Wen Xingming would take his temper out on them.
Fan Tong stood between the two, feeling incredibly troubled, especially when Wen Xingming's eyes were red and his gaze seemed to be spitting fire. He weakly said, "Let me explain."
"Explanation?" Wen Xingming pointed at the gentle-looking man in the white short-sleeved shirt in front of him and shouted, "Then tell me why Meng Chen is here!"
Fan Tong quickly explained, "I communicated with your company before signing the contract, and your company said there would be no problem."
Fan Tong wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, feeling utterly disheartened.
He should have spent more time praying at the temple; now he's even doubting whether the show will ever air.
He was aware of the minor friction between the two.
Wen Xingming and Meng Chen were in the same company and debuted in the same group. Initially, the two had a good relationship, but not long after Wen Xingming was exposed for having sex, he suddenly beat up Meng Chen and was even arrested. After that, whether in private or in public, Wen Xingming unilaterally became irreconcilable with Meng Chen.
Sure enough, Wen Xingming was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said with dissatisfaction, "I don't care, it's either him or me in the crew, I'm not going to be in the same crew as this kind of person!"
Fan Tong rubbed his forehead awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "Teacher Wen, we've already signed the contract."
Wen Xingming: "Then I'll terminate the contract, and I'll pay the penalty myself..."
Halfway through his speech, Wen Xingming suddenly fell silent.
He remembered that last month, at the urging of his cronies, he had ordered a Sibel Lizard, and now the money in his pocket was emptier than his face.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.
Meng Chen looked at Wen Xingming with a hint of helplessness on his face: "Xingming, your resources aren't what they used to be. Don't be as willful as you used to be."
Since his scandal broke, Wen Xingming's reputation has plummeted, and he is no longer inundated with opportunities as he was a few years ago.
"What the hell do you mean?" Wen Xingming's eyes widened immediately, quite certain that Meng Chen was mocking him.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chen quickly explained, "I misspoke, please don't be angry."
The two had completely different temperaments, and Wen Xingming could even feel the change in the eyes of the staff next to him.
He didn't know when it started, but he became Meng Chen's control group. Whenever Meng Chen was around, he would be scolded even more harshly.
No need to guess, he'll definitely be trending again soon.
But terminating the contract is definitely out of the question. Those words he just said were just said in anger, since he has no money left.
But the atmosphere had already been built up, and he didn't know how to start the conversation.
"Wen Xingming".
Just as no one was offering Wen Xingming a way out, Wen Li walked over with a puzzled expression.
The silence was suddenly broken, and everyone's eyes turned to Wen Li.
After what happened yesterday, everyone had heard of Wen Li to some extent, so it wasn't surprising that the two met.
Wen Li walked over to Wen Xingming and asked curiously, "Why did you leave the film crew for someone unrelated? Isn't it better to make money?"
After a pause, Wen Li looked at Meng Chen and said, "Besides, if you hate him, why don't you leave? Why don't you let him leave?"
hiss--
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
With 30 million fans, Meng Chen is undoubtedly a top influencer, and many of the crew members are his female fans.
How dare a newcomer say such a thing? Does he even want to stay in the entertainment industry?
Now everyone fell silent, their eyes darting back and forth between Wen Li and Meng Chen.
Upon hearing this, Meng Chen's smile almost vanished, but he still tried to speak calmly, saying, "I haven't seen you on screen before. You must be a newcomer, right? Xingming and I used to be good friends. I came to the set this time specifically to clear up the little misunderstanding between us."
"The misunderstanding has existed for a long time. Are you only now thinking about resolving it because you've only recently started to feel guilty?"
Wen Li was an honest person and couldn't understand Meng Chen's hidden meaning. She just thought that he was crazy.
After she finished speaking, she continued, "Now you can see for yourself, Wen Xingming doesn't want to be friends with you at all."
Meng Chen was completely speechless after being rebuked, his dark eyes fixed on Wen Li.
Wen Xingming stood behind Wen Li. He was a head taller than Wen Li, but even so, he still felt protected.
This is the first time in over a year that someone has openly stood up to defend themselves.
Wen Xingming's eyes welled up with tears, then he arrogantly said to Meng Chen, "Did you hear that? I don't want to be friends with you right now!"
Meng Chen's expression was almost bursting with barely suppressed emotion, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a surging figure in the distance, and his gaze darkened: "I really meant no harm. I wasn't there when it happened, so I couldn't help you, but I believe you're definitely not that kind of person."
After saying that, Meng Chen sighed: "In my heart, you have always been my best friend."
"No!" Wen Li quickly reached out to block Meng Chen's affected gaze: "Although you've had plastic surgery so I can't see your life story clearly, you and Wen Xingming are indeed not suitable to be friends."
The air fell silent instantly.
Meng Chen's face immediately darkened.
Wen Li hadn't realized she'd said the wrong thing.
She had been looking at Meng Chen's face in the dressing room, but after a long time, Meng Chen's face did not match what she had calculated.
Thinking of what Huo Yinghuai had said yesterday, she immediately realized that Meng Chen had undergone extensive plastic surgery.
Of course, she doesn't tell fortunes solely based on facial features; she just says that looking at facial features is faster.
I don't know why Meng Chen's face turned so dark after she finished speaking; she hadn't even continued talking yet.
"Well said!"
After a few seconds of silence, Wen Xingming was the first to react, and then gave Wen Li a thumbs up.
That was so satisfying!
Wen Xingming felt an unprecedented sense of joy!
Wen Li was still a little confused and quickly waved her hand: "No, no, it's all standard procedure."
Meng Chen's smile froze, and looking at Wen Li's smug expression, he wanted nothing more than to slap her twice.
But he had specifically hired paparazzi today, so he absolutely couldn't change his attitude at this moment.
"I know you hate me, but you can't say that about me, can you?" Meng Chen stared at the two of them with hurt in his eyes, and finally sighed softly: "But I still choose to forgive you."
Look how generous he is!
In the end, his fans will definitely feel sorry for him.
Upon hearing this, Wen Li looked at Meng Chen as if she were looking at a ghost, then raised her hand to reveal her slender wrist: "Ew! That's so unbelievable, it gives me goosebumps!"
Meng Chen: "..."
Everyone: "..."
This kid is so honest!
