Chapter 396 Towards Summer
Bai Zhi didn't say anything, took the keys, and walked towards the car parked by the roadside.
"Brother Hao, we'll head back now."
Chen Le greeted Zhang Zihao, then got into Bai Zhi's car and left the construction site.
Ten minutes later, Chen Le returned to the hotel.
Bai Zhi went to park the car first, while Chen Le prepared to take the elevator upstairs. Although Chen Le had arranged a room for Bai Zhi in the hotel, they were already in the hotel, so there shouldn't be any danger.
but,
The moment Chen Le stepped out of the elevator, he immediately saw an old acquaintance.
Zheng Tianming...
Why is he here?
The popularity of A Chinese Odyssey has remained high these past few days. As his rival, Zheng Tianming actually has time to come to Hong Kong.
but.
Chen Le immediately thought of the banquet this weekend. It seemed that the Xiang family had put in a lot of effort, and Zheng Tianming's purpose was probably also for this banquet.
Despite his advanced age, Zheng Tianming's eyesight was still quite good; he noticed Chen Le, who had just stepped out of the elevator, from a great distance.
He sneered and then walked up to Chen Le.
"Mr. Chen, you've come to Hong Kong too?"
Chen Le didn't answer, he just nodded.
"Is it for the weekend banquet?"
Zheng Tianming said smugly,
"However, it would be pointless for you to go. This banquet will be attended by not only Hong Kong's celebrities but also major news media."
"I won't hide it from you, do you know the purpose of this banquet?"
Although Chen Le learned some details about the banquet from Old Li, he only knew that a large number of Hong Kong celebrities would be there. As for the purpose Zheng Tianming mentioned, he was not clear.
"It seems Li Xianyuan didn't tell you?"
Zheng Tianming sneered.
He then pulled over the young man beside him.
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Xiang's son, Xiang Xiatian."
Chen Le narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiang Xiatian.
He is quite handsome and looks somewhat like a martial arts actor, but he is still too young.
It seems that Zheng Tianming's ascension to immortality was sponsored by the Xiang family to promote Xiang Xiatian.
Xiang Xia glanced at Chen Le, then snorted coldly.
"Brother Tianming, is this the competitor you were talking about?"
"Someone like this dares to be my opponent?"
Zheng Tianming laughed heartily.
"Mr. Chen, please don't mind him. Young people are just impetuous and don't know how to speak properly."
"However, what Brother Xiang Xia said is not wrong. You should just forget about your low-budget movie."
"This banquet is to promote Xiang Xiatian, to let more people know about him, and to let them know that he has the ability to carry the banner of China's film and television industry!"
"At that time, the Xiang family will announce the news of Xiang Xiatian's starring role in The Legend of Immortal at the banquet, and all the major news media will rush to report it."
"As for you, I advise you to go back obediently and stop making a fool of yourself here."
Chen Le smiled dismissively.
"Zheng Tianming, you really have no shame."
"I don't know how great your movie is, but the popularity of A Chinese Odyssey is undeniable. If you're so capable, make your movie more popular than A Chinese Odyssey first."
Zheng Tianming was speechless for a moment, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Chen Le, you're just deceiving the audience and marketing Zhu Xinxin."
"I admit that the popularity of A Chinese Odyssey is indeed very high right now, but that's just because the audience has been blinded."
"Once the movie is officially released, the audience will naturally see your true colors!"
"At that time, the reputation of A Chinese Odyssey will definitely collapse!"
"But I'm different. I've put in so much effort for this movie, and this time, I've even invited half of the big stars in the entertainment industry!"
"Moreover, with the Xiang family protecting me, the Legend of Immortal Ascension will surely become a classic!"
Chen Le pursed his lips.
"Don't you have any more words? Why do you keep using the same few lines over and over again?"
"you!"
Zheng Tianming's face turned ashen with anger. He took a deep breath before slowly saying:
"Chen Le, you can only be smug for a little while."
"Your last success was nothing but a flash in the pan!"
"You really think you're that capable? Let me tell you, in the film and television industry, it's not just about luck that you need to gain a foothold!"
Chen Le shrugged and then said,
"At least, I'm luckier than you."
Zheng Tianming gritted his teeth.
"Fine, Chen Le, since you're so stubborn, we'll see!"
"Just wait and see how you handle this!"
Chen Le chuckled lightly.
"I'm so scared."
"But honestly, with so many movie actors in your country, are they really useful?"
"Don't let the main character's limelight be stolen by those big stars, and the guests overshadow the host."
At this point, Chen Le looked at Xiang Xiatian beside him.
To be honest, Xiang Xiatian is indeed good-looking, but after all, he is just a newcomer. Can he really hold his own against such a star-studded lineup?
You should know that Zheng Tianming invited veteran artists from the industry, including some award-winning actors and actresses!
Xiang Xiatian felt a little uncomfortable under Chen Le's gaze; he frowned.
"What are you looking at?!"
Zheng Tianming, who was standing to the side, did not expect that Xiang Xiatian would be so impatient.
However, he did not stop him. Instead, he looked at Chen Le with a mocking expression, wanting to see how Chen Le would handle the situation.
You must understand, this is Hong Kong, the Xiang family's territory!
Having offended Xiang Xiatian, Chen Le will absolutely not be able to leave here unscathed!
Chen Le glanced at Xiang Xiatian and said calmly,
"What's wrong with you? You think you can hit me?"
Xiang Xiatian was already annoyed, and when she heard Chen Le's words, she became even angrier and threw a punch at Chen Le!
You should know that the Xiang family is a top-tier wealthy family in Hong Kong, and Xiang Xiatian is the eldest young master of the Xiang family!
In the entire port city, who dares to speak to him like that?!
This Chen Le is just a nobody from the mainland, how dare he talk to me like that?!
I simply don’t know how to live or die!
He wanted to let Chen Le know that offending the Xiang family would definitely not end well!
and.
I heard that Xiang Xiatian was sent to learn martial arts when he was a child. Although he is not a master, he is more than capable of dealing with ordinary people.
The action was so fast that even Chen Le didn't react at first.
And don't tell me.
When Xiang Xia started fighting, he really looked like a martial arts actor. Just as Chen Le dodged a punch, this kid jumped up and unleashed a series of kicks!
Just then, a figure suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Chen Le!
It’s Angelica dahurica!
Just after Chen Le got out of the car, Bai Zhi went to find a place to park. As soon as she parked and came over, she saw Xiang Xiatian attacking Chen Le!
