Chapter 459 Towards Summer
After all, the competition between Chen Le and Zheng Tianming is now almost out in the open.
As for the Xiang family, the major shareholder behind Zheng Tianming, how could they dare to make a big move at this critical juncture? They only have some power, not enough to contend with the entire Dragon Kingdom.
Therefore, the Xiang family would never dare to easily take action against Chen Le!
Moreover,
Chen Le probably already knew that today's meeting was not going to involve any major conflict.
That's why Chen Le said it with such certainty.
Upon hearing this, Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
"Then be careful."
Chen Le nodded slightly and turned to look at Bai Zhi:
"Bai Zhi, take Su Xi and Xin Xin home first."
Bai Zhi nodded and opened the car door for Su Xi and Xin Xin to get in first.
After Su Xi and Xin Xin got into the car, Bai Zhi looked at Chen Le again:
"Mr. Chen, please be careful. I'll take them back first and be right there."
Chen Le smiled and nodded:
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Bai Zhi then sat in the driver's seat with peace of mind, started the car, and took Su Xi and the others home first.
Su Xi looked at Chen Le through the car window with some worry, her eyes filled with concern and reluctance.
Chen Le smiled and waved to Su Xi, indicating that she didn't need to worry.
After Su Xi and the others left, Chen Le withdrew his gaze, his expression turning indifferent, and walked straight outside.
Bai Zhi stopped the car, picked up Xin Xin, and got out with Su Xi. After Su Xi carried Xin Xin back home quickly, she specially came out to ask Bai Zhi to protect Chen Le.
Bai Zhi nodded in agreement, and Su Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door, and went home.
Bai Zhi stood outside the door, watching Su Xi close it before turning and walking out of the residential area.
Just as Bai Zhi stepped out of the residential area, she saw Chen Le.
as well as……
Xiang Xiatian, the young master of the Xiang family and the male protagonist of the Legend of Immortal Sealing, is currently enjoying great popularity!
Xiang Xiatian looked handsome in a white suit, accompanied by several bodyguards and assistants, exuding an air of grandeur.
However, at this moment, the young master was clearly much more restrained and not as arrogant and domineering as before.
However, his words were still full of disdain for Chen Le:
"Chen Le, you've finally arrived."
Chen Le glanced at Xia Tian with an indifferent expression.
"Young Master Xiang, is there something you need?"
Xiang Xiatian looked arrogant and glanced sideways at Chen Le:
"Chen Le, I usually wouldn't bother with a nobody like you, but you do have some talent, being able to write a script like 'A Chinese Odyssey,' which is quite surprising."
"Although I look down on you, I have to admit that you are more capable than Zheng Tianming."
Xia Tian's words were blunt and full of contempt and disdain for Chen Le.
However, Chen Le remained expressionless, simply looking at Xiang Xiatian and waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that Chen Le did not refute, Xiang Xiatian took it as tacit agreement, and her expression became even more arrogant:
"Chen Le, I know you've always wanted to curry favor with the Xiang family. Today, I can give you a chance."
"As long as you behave well and help me write the script, creating a work with a reputation no less than that of A Chinese Odyssey, I will persuade my dad to let you continue to cooperate with the Xiang family."
"At that time, you will not only receive a generous reward, but you will also rise to prominence under the protection of the Xiang family!"
Xia Tian spoke these words in a grand and dignified manner, as if he were bestowing a tremendous favor upon Chen Le.
However, Chen Le merely sneered and said indifferently:
"Young Master Xiang, I appreciate your kindness, but writing a script depends on inspiration and talent. It's not something I can just write because you want me to."
"Moreover, although I, Chen Le, am not a big shot, I will not live under someone else's roof or depend on someone else's whims."
"So, I won't accept your kind offer, Mr. Xiang. You'd better find someone else."
Chen Le spoke with neither arrogance nor servility, but his words were full of disdain and mockery towards Xiang Xiatian.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xiatian's expression immediately darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
He never expected that Chen Le would dare to be so disrespectful to him!
"Chen Le, I advise you to think carefully before you answer!"
"You're just a small-time screenwriter. If you really anger the Xiang family, I'll make sure you can't stay in Hong Kong, or even the whole of China!"
He spoke to Xia Tian with a gloomy expression and an icy tone.
His words were menacing and full of threats against Chen Le.
However, Chen Le remained unmoved, merely glancing at Xia Tian before calmly saying:
"Young Master Xiang, are you threatening me?"
"However, I don't care."
"If you have nothing else, I'll be going now."
After Chen Le finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.
When Xiang Xiatian saw this, he immediately became anxious. If he couldn't even handle Chen Le, what status would he have in the Xiang family?
The thought of being scolded by her father and having her card suspended because of what happened last time filled Xiang Xiatian with rage and malice!
"Chen Le, you stop right there!"
He roared at Xia Tian and blocked Chen Le's path!
"What, Young Master Xiang, are you preparing to make a move?"
Chen Le stopped and looked at Xiang Xiatian with a half-smile.
Xiang Xiatian was young and impetuous. If it were his father, Xiang Tianqiang, he wouldn't have made a move, but this was Xiang Xiatian. He took a stance, seemingly ready to spar with Chen Le.
However, Chen Le at this moment looked confident of victory.
Xiang Xiatian felt a chill run down her spine when Chen Le looked at her, but the thought of having so many people on her side gave her confidence again!
"Chen Le, I'm giving you one last chance!"
"Listen to me obediently, or I'll make sure you leave this world on your back!"
With a ferocious expression, Xiang Xiatian waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him stepped forward and surrounded Chen Le!
Chen Le remained expressionless, merely glancing at these people indifferently.
Just now.
Xiang Xiatian suddenly felt a gaze fixed on her!
That gaze was icy cold, devoid of any emotion, as if it were looking at a dead person!
Xiang Xiatian felt a chill run down her spine when she saw that gaze and instinctively turned her head to look.
Not far away.
Bai Zhi stood with her arms crossed, leaning against the wall not far away, looking at this side with icy eyes.
Xiang Xiatian was immediately jolted awake, and his arrogant demeanor instantly vanished.
He naturally recognized Bai Zhi; back at the hotel, he had been utterly defeated by this young girl.
Although he didn't know what relationship Bai Zhi had with Chen Le, the woman in front of him, who looked young, was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
The thought that he hadn't brought many bodyguards with him today made Xiang Xiatian immediately hesitant to make any rash moves.
