The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 223: Chen Bin Falls into an Irredeemable Situation

Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Chen Bin Falls into an Irredeemable Situation

Throughout the entire night, Chen Bin indeed didn’t do anything to Zhao Xinmei.

The two simply nestled together like that.

Until the next day, when Chen Bin even took the initiative to drive Zhao Xinmei out for some shopping.

However, due to the sensitivity of their identities, both wore masks.

Every store they entered, others assumed they were a young couple who had only been married for a short while.

Faced with such misunderstandings, Zhao Xinmei didn’t bother to explain much.

During this, Chen Bin received a call from Cao Sanjin, inviting him to lunch.

Wanting to spend time with Zhao Xinmei, Chen Bin made up an excuse to avoid it.

That weekend, the two didn’t engage in anything particularly exciting, but sometimes a peaceful life can be even more deeply moving.

On Monday during work, Chen Bin had just walked into his office when Jiang Huai knocked and came in.

He mentioned that he had already compiled the plan for sending the recruited farmers to Shanghai for Chen Bin to review.

After finishing his review, Chen Bin appeared very satisfied.

Right after, he started assigning tasks.

"Over the next couple of days, take a team down to the villages to conduct an investigation. See how many skilled workers remain, and while you’re at it, gather basic information about all of them. Then organize the information into documents for me."

"Alright."

Nodding, Jiang Huai immediately turned and left.

Not long after, the staff member from the Party and Government Office responsible for newspaper circulation arrived.

Chen Bin flipped open the Yanxi Daily and found that, as expected, it had republished the Tianhai Evening News’ report.

Later, during evening after work hours, Xue Baoguang called.

"Did you see today’s provincial newspaper?"

Hearing his excited tone, Chen Bin replied with a smile.

"I saw it this morning."

"You know, I didn’t expect that the provincial paper would include your personal interview. It’s clearly an affirmation of your work. Tomorrow when you come to the county, I’ll convene a meeting with the heads of each township. We’ll collectively learn from you."

"Alright, since Secretary Xue thinks so highly of me, I’ll make sure to perform well tomorrow."

The next morning, after breakfast, Chen Bin headed straight to the county office.

As soon as he walked into the County Committee and County Government’s large conference hall, he noticed that about twenty or thirty people were already seated inside.

Upon seeing Chen Bin, some were very enthusiastic, initiating greetings.

While others pretended not to see him, their faces full of disdain.

Chen Bin had just sat down when Lu Huisheng also entered.

The two acted as if they didn’t know each other and didn’t bother greeting one another.

Once everyone had arrived, Xue Baoguang made a brief opening speech.

Afterward, it was Chen Bin’s turn to speak.

Truthfully, Chen Bin didn’t have much he wanted to say, but he couldn’t exactly say nothing.

With no other choice, he resorted to saying some superficially grand-sounding clichés.

During his speech, Chen Bin repeatedly mentioned both Xue Baoguang and Ye Hong.

He said his ability to carry out his work in Qinghe Town was all thanks to the tremendous support from these two people.

Upon hearing this, even though they knew Chen Bin was blatantly flattering them, both Xue Baoguang and Ye Hong couldn’t help but enjoy it.

Once Chen Bin finished his speech, the two took turns to highly praise his work.

They also instructed the heads of other townships to return and actively learn from Chen Bin.

Encouraging everyone to brainstorm ways to enhance benefits for the villagers.

After the meeting, Ye Hong called Lu Huisheng into his office.

"What’s your take on what just happened?"

With a cold snort, Lu Huisheng’s face turned dark.

"All I feel is anger; there’s nothing else to say."

"Do you think you have the right to be angry? You’ve been in office in Qinghe Town for years, practically accomplishing nothing. Look at Chen Bin—he’s only been here briefly and already completed a major project. Dream on if you think you can replace him!"

"I may not have his knack for schemes, but I’m confident I can take him down!"

Hearing this, Ye Hong couldn’t help but frown.

"What are you planning? You’re not thinking of playing dirty, are you? Let me warn you..."

But Ye Hong’s warning fell on deaf ears as Lu Huisheng tuned him out completely.

At this point, he had only one objective: no matter what, Chen Bin had to be destroyed!

Qinghe Town.

After a week-long investigation, Jiang Huai finally succeeded in compiling detailed information on all the remaining skilled workers in the town.

He then organized the data into a booklet and handed it over to Chen Bin.

After reviewing the materials, Chen Bin immediately convened a Party Committee meeting.

"I’m planning to host a training program in town, where skilled workers can teach classes. Once the villagers acquire a skill, finding jobs should become easier. What does everyone think?"

Wei Kai’s faction naturally nodded repeatedly in agreement.

As for those aligned with Lu Huisheng, naturally, they voiced their opposition.

Though coming up with valid reasons for their opposition proved challenging.

After a long silence, Lu Huisheng finally managed to choke out something.

"If we’re holding training sessions, surely the instructors will need to be paid. Where’s the money coming from?"

Chen Bin replied earnestly, "I haven’t decided on specific payments yet. But if we schedule sessions during the idle farming season, the costs shouldn’t be too high. I think the town can cover it."

"No way, the town’s already out of money! If we’re going through with it, make the farmers who want to learn pay themselves."

Unwilling to waste time, Chen Bin directly addressed the room.

"Let’s vote, majority rules. Raise your hand if you agree the town should cover the costs!"

With that, he was the first to raise his hand.

Wei Kai and his group swiftly followed suit.

This time, even Ding Zi didn’t falter, promptly raising her hand in agreement.

Seeing this, Chen Bin shot a triumphant look at Lu Huisheng.

"Since the majority agrees the town should bear the costs, this meeting is adjourned."

Back in his office, Lu Huisheng’s face was steely with anger.

It was clear that he realized he was losing ground against Chen Bin.

He immediately made a call and summoned Du Minli to his office.

"You’re the person I trust most. You’ve seen the current situation; we’re far too passive. What can be done to utterly eliminate Chen Bin?"

Du Minli, as Lu Huisheng’s strategist, quickly conceived a plan.

"You might not know, but Chen Bin has questionable behavior. While dating Cai Lixia, he also brought Ding Zi to his room—a single man and woman, staying together for an entire night. What do you think they did?"

Sipping his tea, Lu Huisheng appeared indifferent.

"Even if they were in bed together, so what? They’re both single, and we don’t have any evidence tying them together."

A flicker of disdain crossed her heart, but Du Minli calmly replied.

"We can use a divide-and-conquer tactic to pull Cai Lixia to our side. That way, our position will be stronger during future meetings."

After some thought, Lu Huisheng shook his head.

"No, that still won’t totally eradicate him. I want to take him down completely—to ensure he’ll never challenge me again for the rest of his life."

Taking a deep breath, a cruel glint appeared in Du Minli’s enchanting eyes.

"In that case, I do have a plan that can utterly ruin him."
