Chapter 302 Why should I give you face?
In that instant, he suddenly felt somewhat ashamed.
He had kindly recommended Chen Le to Xiang Tianqiang, believing it to be a perfect match and an ideal collaboration.
However, Xiang Tianqiang brought Zheng Tianming, who had a deep-seated hatred for Chen Le, and even tried to act as a peacemaker on this occasion.
Isn't this going a bit too far?
Xiang Tianqiang was clearly taking advantage of their relationship to deliberately create difficulties for Chen Le!
As soon as Zheng Tianming entered, Xiang Tianqiang immediately greeted him with a beaming smile and gestured for him to enter.
It was as if they were welcoming a distinguished guest.
Zheng Tianming sat down next to Xiang Tianqiang, his gaze slowly falling on Chen Le, a seemingly friendly smile appearing on his lips.
That smile, in Chen Le's eyes, was full of hypocrisy and provocation.
Chen Le simply looked at the other person calmly, without the slightest ripple in his eyes, neither responding to the other person's smile nor uttering a single word.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly became tense. The previously relaxed air seemed to freeze, filled with a strong sense of tension!
It's as if the slightest spark could cause them to instantly fall out!
The situation is extremely tense!
Xiang Tianqiang sensed the tense atmosphere and quickly picked up his wine glass, his face full of smiles.
He turned to Chen Le and said with a fawning smile, "Brother Chen, you just promised me with your hands on your chest, you can't go back on your word!"
"Everyone in the entertainment industry is working hard, and you're bound to run into each other all the time. How can there not be some friction?"
"Those things between you and Mr. Zheng before were actually just some minor misunderstandings. Let's take this rare opportunity to open our hearts and talk it out properly, what do you think?"
Upon hearing Xiang Tianqiang's words, Chen Le slowly raised his wine glass, but did not drink it.
He first gave Zheng Tianming a cold glance, his gaze like a sharp, cold sword, instantly piercing through the fake smile on Zheng Tianming's face.
"I thought you invited me here today to discuss a good thing about cooperation, but I didn't expect you to want to mediate a dispute."
Then, Chen Le turned his gaze to Xiang Tianqiang, his eyes filled with scrutiny and dissatisfaction, and slowly said, "I can only say that, for the sake of Elder Li, I will not make things too ugly today."
Xiang Tianqiang felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.
He quickly gave Zheng Tianming a wink.
His eyes were full of implications, as if to say...
"Take the initiative and smooth things over."
Zheng Tianming instantly understood, immediately putting on a fake smile and eagerly raising his glass towards Chen Le, trying to break the awkward and tense situation.
However, Chen Le remained unresponsive, like a cold statue.
Instead of raising his glass in greeting, he quickly withdrew his hand and deftly dodged it.
This sudden action left Zheng Tianming's hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air, his smile freezing for a moment, his face turning red and white in turns, looking extremely unpleasant.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Tianqiang's expression changed, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
But he still suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Brother Chen, aren't you being a little disrespectful to me?"
"We're all just trying to make a living, why be so serious?"
Although his tone was calm, his words carried an undeniable sense of pressure.
Upon hearing this, Chen Le narrowed his eyes slightly.
He slowly reached out and offered the wine glass again.
Zheng Tianming was overjoyed to see this, thinking that Chen Le was finally willing to give him face!
He quickly raised his glass again, eagerly clinking it against Chen Le's.
However, just as the two glasses were about to touch, Chen Le suddenly flipped his wrist and poured all the wine into the glass onto the ground!
The spilled liquor made a crisp sound on the floor, as if mercilessly mocking the farce.
At that moment, the smile on Zheng Tianming's face froze instantly!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, like a beast that had been provoked.
As if frozen in place, his eyes were filled with astonishment and anger.
Xiang Tianqiang's face also gradually darkened. He hadn't expected Chen Le to be so disrespectful to him, and his anger flared up instantly.
Chen Le slowly stood up, straightened his clothes, and displayed a gentlemanly demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant.
He first bowed respectfully to Elder Li, and said in a calm and steady voice, "Elder Li, I think it's getting late. I have some important matters to attend to today, so I'll take my leave now."
Old Li naturally understood Chen Le's current predicament, and he was also somewhat dissatisfied with Xiang Tianqiang's actions.
Chen Le was a film and television genius whom he valued highly, so how could he let Xiang Tianqiang make things difficult for Chen Le?
He immediately came to the rescue, saying, "Then you should go back first, it's nothing serious anyway."
Let's have a proper talk in private later when we have the chance.
Upon hearing what Old Li said, Chen Le glanced at him gratefully, nodded, and turned to leave.
However, at that moment, Xiang Tianqiang, who had been suppressing his anger, suddenly slammed his hand on the table with a loud bang, which shook the entire private room.
He suddenly stood up, his eyes wide open, glaring angrily!
Upon hearing this, Xiang Tianqiang's heart tightened, and he quickly gave Zheng Tianming a wink.
His eyes were full of implications, as if to say...
"Take the initiative and smooth things over."
Zheng Tianming instantly understood, immediately putting on a fake smile and eagerly raising his glass towards Chen Le, trying to break the awkward and tense situation.
However, Chen Le remained unresponsive, like a cold statue.
Instead of raising his glass in greeting, he quickly withdrew his hand and deftly dodged it.
This sudden action left Zheng Tianming's hand awkwardly suspended in mid-air, his smile freezing for a moment, his face turning red and white in turns, looking extremely unpleasant.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Tianqiang's expression changed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Brother Chen, aren't you being a bit disrespectful to me?"
We're all just trying to make a living, why be so serious?
Although his tone was calm, his words carried an undeniable sense of pressure.
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Le narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing in them, like a calm, ferocious beast.
He paused for a moment, then slowly raised his glass again.
Zheng Tianming was overjoyed to see this, thinking that Chen Le was finally willing to give him face!
He quickly raised his glass again, eagerly clinking it against Chen Le's.
However, just as the two glasses were about to touch...
Chen Le suddenly flipped his wrist and poured all the wine in the glass onto the ground!
The spilled liquor made a crisp sound on the floor, as if mercilessly mocking the farce.
At that moment, the smile on Zheng Tianming's face froze instantly!
As if frozen in place, his eyes were filled with astonishment and anger.
Xiang Tianqiang's face also gradually darkened. He didn't expect Chen Le to dare to disrespect him like this!
The anger in his heart suddenly flared up like a raging fire.
