Chapter 304 Introducing You to a New Friend!
Xiang Tianqiang was so frightened by Old Li's stern words and powerful aura that he trembled in fear!
The harsh reality, like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguished his anger.
The resentment in my heart vanished without a trace in an instant.
Old Li is a tycoon who dominates the real estate industry; a man whose every move shakes the entire industry.
As for myself, I'm just someone with a little bit of fame in the entertainment industry.
Moreover, the glorious golden age of Hong Kong has long since passed. In today's Hong Kong, if we were to rank people by seniority, Old Li would be firmly in first place, and I wouldn't even be qualified to be third.
Left with no other choice, he could only swallow his anger and resentment, as if he had swallowed a bitter pill.
At this moment, he mustered up the courage to ask, but only with a sliver of hope, attempting to regain some of the face he had lost!
I hope Mr. Li can give me a way out, so that I won't be in such an embarrassing situation.
He never expected that Old Li would so publicly humiliate him for the sake of this young man, Chen Le. This shocked and frustrated him greatly.
For a moment, the surrounding atmosphere became unusually silent, as if time itself had frozen.
Everyone held their breath, watching the scene silently, not daring to make a sound.
Xiang Tianqiang gritted his teeth and said unwillingly:
“Mr. Li, it’s not that I’m deliberately causing trouble, it’s just that the person you recommended is far too arrogant.”
"I just wanted to teach him a lesson, and I didn't do anything excessive, but you actually hit me with your hand. Is that fair?"
His voice carried a hint of grievance and dissatisfaction.
Before he could finish speaking, Old Li interrupted him, a cold smile on his face.
"Xiang Tianqiang, Xiang Tianqiang, hitting you is too lenient. I even felt the shock hurt my hand."
“I gave you a chance, but you were useless…”
"The person I recommended to you is a dark horse. Look at the person you chose, he's a good-for-nothing. No matter how much money he has, he'll only lose it. And with your eye for talent, you're really not qualified to cooperate with him."
As he spoke, Old Li turned around and walked up to Chen Le, his expression instantly becoming kind.
"Ah Le, go back and get some rest. I didn't handle things well today, and I apologize... But don't worry, from now on, whoever wants..."
"If anyone dares to touch you, I'll use all my assets and connections to make sure they're bankrupt."
Old Li said with a smile.
His words were loud and firm, clearly meant for Xiang Tianqiang to hear!
The intention was to warn him not to have any more improper thoughts about Chen Le.
"I was reckless today, thank you, Elder Li."
Hearing what Old Li said, Chen Le felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
He nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with gratitude.
Then, he turned and walked outside, his steps steady and firm.
To be honest, Chen Le was somewhat annoyed.
But to his surprise, when he was leaving, Old Li followed him from behind and called out to him.
“Ah Le, I didn’t think this through today. If I had known about what happened between you two, I wouldn’t have called the other person in.”
The two got into Mr. Li's car, and in the back seat, Mr. Li patted Chen Le on the shoulder.
Chen Le shook his head slightly and spoke with a smile.
"Mr. Li, today's incident has nothing to do with milk; it's just that Zheng Tianming and Xiang Tianqiang are acting inhumanely."
Seeing his reaction, Old Li reassured him, "Don't worry, you are a promising junior. If those two try anything underhanded, just tell me and I'll help you."
"I feel relieved to hear what Mr. Li said."
Chen Le smiled warmly.
He didn't want to accept a favor for no reason, and knowing that Old Li was considering his feelings, he smiled and agreed.
"Come on, we didn't get to eat today, so I'll take you to a good place."
Old Li patted Chen Le's shoulder with a smile, his expression kind.
He truly thought highly of this younger generation; they were of good character, had their own methods, and possessed their own integrity.
At least they are not glib-tongued people who would bow down for the sake of daily necessities.
In this day and age, this is really rare.
Chen Le touched his stomach and nodded slightly.
So, Old Li took Chen Le to a rather unassuming restaurant.
Of course, it looks simple compared to its peers, but that's just their decorating style, and the food inside is top-notch luxury.
After several rounds of drinks, Old Li finally got down to business with Chen Le.
"Ah Le, are you thinking of making some achievements in the entertainment industry?"
"I guessed it from your recent actions."
"However, Xiang Tianqiang has a long history of bad behavior, so it's really not a good idea to hire him. Hmm... I actually know a few people in the film and television industry. One of them is currently filming in mainland China. How about I introduce you to him?"
Seeing Chen Le's hesitant look, Old Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, that person is just as important as Xiang Tianqiang. To be honest, I'm not really sure I can get him to come over."
Chen Le shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, the seniors that Elder Li knows must be of great importance. I just feel... is this troubling Elder Li too much?"
"You can't say that. Actually, my friend mentioned you shortly before your movie was released."
Mr. Li smiled and said, "He is a true golden brand in the film and television industry. At least in the Hong Kong films you know, he contributed at least 20% of the credits."
"Twenty percent?!"
Chen Le was almost stunned.
The number of prime-time films in Hong Kong is simply vast, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, impossible to count.
But that big shot actually took a whopping 20%?!
What quantity is that?
Chen Le could hardly imagine it.
Li Xianyuan nodded slightly and added with a smile, "This guy has been researching these things for forty or fifty years. He's devoted his whole life to them. He doesn't care about fame or fortune. What he values is how to make a film that surpasses himself. I think if it were you, he might want to meet you."
Chen Le was very excited; he was already tempted.
"Then I'll leave this matter to Elder Li. Consider it a favor I owe you."
"Regardless of the outcome, I am very grateful to Elder Li for this matter."
Chen Le clasped his hands in a respectful bow.
As he said, whether this matter succeeds or not, it is still a favor.
If he can establish connections with Hong Kong, the film industry's development will be faster and simpler.
Li Xianyuan smiled and shook his head, "Don't I know your personality well enough? Just consider it me helping you, the junior, as a senior."
And so, the meal was finished amidst laughter and conversation, and they had covered most of what needed to be discussed.
Finally, Li Xianyuan brought up something, something that Chen Le didn't know how to say.
"By the way, have you been thinking about developing real estate lately?"
Chen Le looked somewhat embarrassed, even awkward, but he still nodded.
"Well, I have this idea."
Li Xianyuan stroked his chin and slowly said, "If you have any ideas, just tell me. There's a nice new development recently. If you're interested, you can come and buy it. It's in a great location."
After a moment's thought, Chen Le nodded with a smile.
