Chapter 1499 1494: Can I Call You Little Chenchen? [Fifth Update]
He Xiaowei was a martial artist, and Su Chen could tell the moment he walked in.But with He Xiaowei's mediocre skills, Su Chen really didn't consider him a threat.
If he had been a martial artist in the Transcendent to Saint Realm, Su Chen might have spared him a second glance.
But he was just a martial artist in the Mortal Realm, and this was his trump card for arrogance?
That said, He Xiaowei wasn't a reckless young man; after all, he was a middle-aged man nearing forty, having practiced martial arts for over a decade, and had seen his fair share of battles and people of all kinds.
However, Su Chen was a bit of an enigma to him, though judging by how Su Chen drank just now, he didn't seem to be a top-tier master.
Maybe just someone who could drink a lot?
But this was clearly just self-reassurance.
Someone who could barely drink a bit? With your Mortal Realm peak cultivation, try drinking twenty pounds of Burning Blade along with ten pounds of Water of Life?
Yet today, He Xiaowei had no choice but to make a move. If he failed to assert his prestige today, there might be no place for him in Jiangdu in the future.
"He Xiaowei, you're not easily intimidated. Do you think I'm just bluffing?" Chen Shuo looked coldly at him, waved his hand, and the bodyguards who had been following him stepped forward, surrounding him and Su Chen tightly.
He Xiaowei's gaze was icy, "Chen Shuo, if I genuinely wanted to deal with you, do you think these few lackeys around you could be a match for me?"
"You talk so big, He Xiaowei, let's see what you're made of! Go!" Chen Shuo, wanting to impress Su Chen, unabashedly ordered the attack.
"Hold on." A gentle yet authoritative voice came from the side.
Don't forget where you are—'Huaihuang Leisure'.
Just mentioning 'Huaihuang Leisure' might not ring any bells, but saying 'Huaihuang Entertainment' makes it well-known.
Zheng Xue is the deputy general manager of Huaihuang Entertainment and also manages 'Huaihuang Leisure'.
She was aware of the drinking challenge happening in Hall Three of 'Huaihuang Leisure' today.
But she didn't show up, remaining instead in the surveillance room to monitor the situation. Many second-generation young masters were present today, including figures like Chen Shuo and He Xiaowei, so she dared not be careless.
However, she didn't expect Su Chen to also be there, and as a main player in the drinking competition.
She was initially prepared to step in to support Su Chen if necessary, as she saw great potential in him.
Anyone connected to the English Royal Bank Group had terrifying backing, and while the Zheng Family held some influence in Huaxia, any ties to the massive English Royal Bank Group through Su Chen would be extremely beneficial.
It's said that helping someone in times of need is a hundred times more valuable than adding to riches, and it's true.
But surprisingly, Su Chen didn't need her assistance at all.
Chen Shuo suddenly calling him 'Lord Chen' made her heart skip a beat. As a member of the Zheng Family, she'd heard some rumors recently.
Auntie Red of the Red Building was not someone to be trifled with; even her Four Poisonous Herbs could each suppress the likes of Chen Shuo.
Though he was known as one of the four untouchables of Jiangdu like Auntie Red, his standing couldn't compare to hers. They weren't even in the same league.
Yet not long ago, Chen Shuo somehow managed to seize the Red Building from Auntie Red's hands despite being weaker.
Who would believe such a feat without some hidden maneuvering?
Upon careful investigation, whether from Chen Shuo's subordinates or other sources, all signs pointed to one direction, or rather, one person.
'Lord Chen'!
With the help of this mysterious 'Lord Chen', Chen Shuo managed to seize Red Auntie's empire.
But recently, Auntie Red has returned to Jiangdu and reclaimed ownership of the Red Building.
As for 'Lord Chen', he vanished along with Chen Shuo.
Zheng Xue hadn't expected that Su Chen was the legendary 'Lord Chen'!
"Miss Zheng? Are you planning to get involved too?" He Xiaowei's mouth twitched.
Didn't this young man have no background?
How did she find such a capable drinker, who also commanded respect from Chen Shuo as 'Lord Chen'?
Now it seemed even Miss Zheng was stepping in to support him?
It was indeed a frustrating situation.
"Hehe, Fifth Lord He, why the fuss? It's just a tiny piece of the nightlife pie, is it worth getting so worked up over? I say, isn't it better if we all do business together, right, Fifth Lord He?"
Zheng Xue addressed He Xiaowei first, which displeased Chen Shuo.
Ignoring Chen Shuo was one thing, but didn't she see their Lord Chen standing here?
"Hmph!" Chen Shuo snorted unhappily.
"Hehe, Brother Shuo, what's this about? Mad at me?" Zheng Xue said with a smile.
Su Chen had already recognized Zheng Xue earlier.
But Zheng Xue's transformation left Su Chen quite impressed.
Su Chen remembered that the first time he saw Zheng Xue, she was dressed as a corporate white-collar, an urban beauty with an intellectual aura that caught his attention.
But today, Zheng Xue was dressed to impress, leaving Su Chen pleasantly surprised.
Her figure was impressive!
A fiery red qipao with high heels and flowing waves of hair—she was stunning!
"Angry? I wouldn't dare to be mad at the grand Miss Zheng." Chen Shuo said this, but dissatisfaction was evident in his tone.
"Hehe, Brother Shuo, my family has to keep business open to everyone, we can't cater to just one family's feelings, right? Besides, I don't think someone like you, Brother Shuo, should be so petty, should you?" Zheng Xue nudged Chen Shuo.
Chen Shuo found it hard to hold back; the Zheng Family was influential, and compared to his lone status, they were worlds apart.
That's why he was all the more eager to cling to Su Chen, his lifeline, to stand on the same side as Su Chen!
After greeting He Xiaowei and Chen Shuo, Zheng Xue finally turned her gaze toward Su Chen.
Her gaze was gentle, and her lively eyes seemed almost expressive.
She stared at Su Chen for a while before smiling and saying, "Su Chen? Or should I call you 'Lord Chen'?"
"Call me Su Chen," Su Chen replied calmly.
"Can I call you Little Chen Chen?" Zheng Xue covered her mouth, laughing softly.
Su Chen: "..."
Damn... Do I know you that well?
Su Chen had only met Zheng Xue once, during Qin Keren's class reunion.
This Zheng Xue had some connection with Dai Yifei.
But no matter how you look at it, I'm not familiar with you, okay?
