Although feeling extrely displeased inside, Chen Bin still said with a smile.
"I think, no matter the outco, we can still be friends. After all, we’re here on a blind date, and it wouldn’t look good for you to report back without knowing my situation well."
Cao Chenxi thought this made sense, so she reluctantly answered.
"I’m twenty-eight this year, currently working at a bank, and I have nothing else to say!"
In fact, Chen Bin was already very angry, but considering Cao Sanjin standing behind her, he could only swallow his irritation.
Luckily, Cao Chenxi didn’t leave a bad impression on him, and their conversation never hit awkward silences.
When the food was served, Cao Chenxi stopped talking and focused on eating.
Four dishes and a soup, Chen Bin barely ate any. She single-handedly devoured everything.
Watching Cao Chenxi eat like a whirlwind, Chen Bin was dumbfounded.
He had never seen a woman eat like this in his life.
After eating and drinking her fill, Cao Chenxi burped and directly turned to leave.
Watching her retreating figure akin to a tank, Chen Bin couldn’t help but frown.
If marrying soone like this, he felt it would be less painful to just drop dead.
Cao Chenxi had just returned ho when Cao Sanjin and his wife pulled her to the sofa.
"Chenxi, tell us quickly, what do you think of Chen Bin?"
Faced with Cao Sanjin’s concern, Cao Chenxi shook her head slightly.
"He’s quite handso, my type, but I feel being introduced by Xu Tai ans he’s very purposeful about this blind date, which I don’t like."
Frowning slightly, Cao Sanjin’s wife Jiang Ninghan asked.
"Then, what kind of person do you want?"
"Taller than , more handso than Chen Bin, a proper match for , and preferably soone who admires my talent and not just my background."
Cao Sanjin said earnestly, curling his lip.
"Think again, which eligible young man in your league would want you?"
These words instantly aroused Cao Chenxi’s discontent, and she turned to look at Jiang Ninghan.
"Mom, look at Dad, how can he say that to ?"
Jiang Ninghan wasn’t biased and spoke the truth.
"Your dad is telling the truth. If you keep having aspirations beyond your ans, you might really not find soone to marry."
"But I also can’t marry a man who doesn’t love , right? Xu Tai is willing to sacrifice his own daughter for promotions and wealth, and Chen Bin is just his adopted son, aning he must have ulterior motives for marrying ."
Snorting coldly, Cao Sanjin questioned.
"So what if there are ulterior motives? If you weren’t my daughter, Chen Bin wouldn’t even consider you. Besides, which family’s eligible bachelor would marry a woman as fat as you?"
Opening her mouth, Cao Chenxi was montarily lost for words.
At this ti, Cao Sanjin continued.
"Chen Bin is capable. If you marry him, your later life will be set, love or not doesn’t matter, as long as you live well. If you keep being choosy, your mom and I won’t care about you anymore!"
Since childhood, the one person Cao Chenxi feared most was Cao Sanjin.
Faced with his reprimand, she could only lower her head silently.
At the sa ti, Chen Bin was at Xu Tai’s house, recounting the events at the restaurant.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Cuiping appeared very displeased.
"If she weren’t Cao Sanjin’s daughter, who would even look at her?"
Even though Xu Tai felt uncomfortable inside, he didn’t explode.
Instead, he turned to Chen Bin and asked, "What are your plans?"
Chen Bin had made up his mind to first catch the ride with Cao Sanjin for promotion and wealth, as that was the real path.
If it really doesn’t work, he could always divorce Cao Chenxi later.
After all, without sufficient money in hand, he didn’t dare take Zhao Xini away from here.
"After all, she is Secretary Cao’s daughter. I think it’s worth a try."
"Good lad, well aware!"
Pating Chen Bin on the shoulder, Xu Tai’s face was full of excitent.
He had always been diligently nurturing Xu Shaoyang, but now it seed Chen Bin was the one with true potential.
Imdiately after, he picked up the phone to call Cao Sanjin.
After so conversation, Xu Tai told Chen Bin to quickly buy sothing to visit Cao Sanjin’s house.
This surprised Yuan Cuiping greatly.
"Didn’t Cao Chenxi not fancy Chen Bin? Why are you asking him to go to Cao Sanjin’s house?"
Xu Tai speculated: "Most likely, it’s a decision made by Cao Sanjin and his wife. Anyway, Cao Chenxi’s opinion doesn’t matter, and nobody cares about her."
That afternoon, Chen Bin bought two bottles of Maotai and two packs of Huazi cigarettes and went to Cao Sanjin’s house.
Upon entering, he was naturally greeted with warm hospitality.
Compared to Cao Sanjin and Jiang Ninghan’s joy, Cao Chenxi, standing to the side, seed full of disdain.
During the conversation, Cao Sanjin inquired about Chen Bin’s work situation in Qinghe Town.
The latter explained everything in detail.
Of course, he didn’t ntion the internal conflict with Lu Huisheng.
"Not bad, the thod of exporting labor to other regions is great. Next ti soone cos to recruit, tell in advance, and I’ll help promote it."
"Yesterday, while having dinner at Mr. He’s house, he also thought my thod was excellent."
"Mr. He? Who’s that?"
Seeing Cao Sanjin’s puzzled expression, Chen Bin explained.
"Mr. He, He Chaoping, the factory director of Bailing Winery."
"You’re well acquainted with He Chaoping?"
"We have a decent personal relationship, and his daughter studies on my side too."
Hearing this, Cao Sanjin suddenly realized he had underestimated Chen Bin.
Although He Chaoping was just a winery director, during his days in Tianhe City he knew several provincial-level officials.
Just that it was said he had a notoriously bad and stubborn temper, Chen Bin managing to get along with him was unexpected.
It seed he did have unique social skills.
After dinner, Chen Bin left.
As the door was closing, Cao Sanjin ordered Cao Chenxi with a commanding tone.
"This Chen Bin is a dragon among n, make sure you seize this opportunity, understood?"
Cao Chenxi already quite liked Chen Bin, so hearing this, she wasn’t very resistant.
She nodded and replied.
"I got it!"
As the New Year’s holiday ended, Chen Bin had just arrived at his office when he received a call from Pan Hao.
He said he had connected with eighteen private companies planning to recruit workers at Qinghe Town in about half a month.
The exact number of recruits wasn’t clear yet, and he asked Chen Bin to prepare ahead for their visit.
After agreeing, Chen Bin began his preparations.
Soon, half a month flew by.
The recruitnt group Chen Bin had been longing for from Shanghai finally arrived.
After completing the introductions, Chen Bin first arranged for everyone to rest at the guesthouse.
Upon entering the room, Pan Hao scrutinized Chen Bin.
"Recently, Cai Lixia asked a lot of questions about you. You brat and her... you’d better confess honestly!"
Of course, Chen Bin couldn’t reveal his true thoughts and could only answer with a smile.
"We just have mutual feelings, nothing more."
Knowing that Chen Bin had another woman nad Ma Juan, Pan Hao couldn’t help but warn him.
"Cai Lixia is my relative, she has both looks and figure. If you can make a match with her, I’ll fully support you, but if you deceive her in romance, I won’t spare you!"
"Oh, co on, relax, do I look like soone who enjoys deceiving others emotionally?"
"That’s good. If you dare to ss with her, never mind , even her dad would fix you."
"Who’s her dad?"
"What? You an you don’t know her dad?"
Startled, Pan Hao appeared quite surprised.
Chen Bin scratched his head, looking equally confused.
"I don’t know, why, is her dad so big shot?"
