Cai Weiguo’s words made Chen Bin’s heart jolt.
He quickly replied with a smile, "I don’t know who’s spreading rumors about , but I hope you won’t believe them. Besides, Cai Lixia knows about this matter—I even specifically explained it to her."
Nodding slightly, Cai Weiguo said expressionlessly,
"As long as it’s not true. Lixia is a very pure-hearted child, especially when it cos to relationships. Once she sets her mind on soone, no one can pull her back. You better take good care of her."
"Don’t worry, I will definitely treat her well."
After bidding farewell to Cai Weiguo, Chen Bin was feeling quite anxious.
When it ca to Cai Lixia, he suddenly felt at a loss about how to handle the situation.
Soon, sumr arrived, and He Beibei finished her exams and was on vacation at ho.
While having dinner at He Chaoping’s house, He Chaoping said to him,
"I think Cheng Zhuang is pretty good. Recently, a deputy director from the Provincial Public Security Departnt told that he could help arrange for Cheng Zhuang to join the police force. What do you think?"
After a brief mont of thought, Chen Bin felt that Cheng Zhuang, being a retired soldier, would fit well in the police force.
Plus, the position ca with official status, which was undeniably a better path for him than driving a car.
"I think it’s a good idea. He’s been with for so long—we’re practically brothers. Seeing him have a brighter future would also make happy."
Back in Qinghe Town, Chen Bin imdiately found Cheng Zhuang.
Looking at him, he asked, "I have a way to help you join the police force. Do you want to go?"
Without answering right away, Cheng Zhuang widened his eyes and asked back,
"What, you don’t want anymore?"
Chen Bin patted his shoulder and sighed,
"To be honest, you’ve been with for so long—I already see you as a brother. I can’t bear to see you leave, but being my driver isn’t much of a career. Working in the police force would definitely be better."
Seeing the sincere look in Chen Bin’s eyes, Cheng Zhuang finally nodded.
Though he was reluctant to leave Chen Bin, he knew that whatever Chen Bin did was always well thought out beforehand.
There was no need to ask further—he simply went along with Chen Bin’s plan.
Half a month later, thanks to He Chaoping’s associate, Cheng Zhuang officially beca a police officer.
To prevent him from being harassed by Tan Rongxi, arrangents were specially made to station him at the newly established Qinghe Town police station.
From then on, Chen Bin lost a trusted right-hand man, but the police force gained a resolute officer.
One day, while Chen Bin was working, he was suddenly summoned to Ye Hong’s office.
He knocked on the door and entered, then directly asked,
"Secretary Ye, what do you need from ?"
Ye Hong stared at Chen Bin with a strange expression. "I just got word that two won from the Imperial Capital are coming to visit Dragon Mountain. And guess what—they specifically nad you to host them."
"People from the Imperial Capital?"
Scratching his head, Chen Bin looked puzzled.
To his knowledge, he had never been to the Imperial Capital, and he certainly didn’t have any relatives or friends there.
Who could wield such influence to na a governnt official as their host?
Seeing Chen Bin’s confused expression, Ye Hong smiled and added,
"I didn’t expect it either—Chen County Magistrate has connections in the Imperial Capital!"
"No, I don’t know anyone from there at all."
Relaxing a bit, Ye Hong handed a card to Chen Bin.
"Here are the flight details and the landing ti. Make sure you go pick them up."
Turning the card over in his hand, Chen Bin curiously asked,
"Are there any photos? I don’t know who I’m supposed to pick up."
Ye Hong replied, "Those two ladies said they know you. Just show up, and you’ll be fine!"
"Well... alright then."
Nodding, Chen Bin left with lingering doubts.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that this whole situation was rather odd.
But he had no choice but to follow Ye Hong’s instructions.
That afternoon at three o’clock, Chen Bin arrived at Tianhai Airport to wait according to the flight details on the card.
However, upon confirming the flight number, he was stunned.
The flight was scheduled to land at six, so why did the card list the pickup ti as three thirty?
Chen Bin couldn’t figure out whether it was the flight details or the timing that was wrong.
Without a way to contact the passengers, he could only wait patiently at the terminal.
It wasn’t until six fifteen that two gorgeously dressed sisters appeared before his eyes.
In terms of height and appearance, they were practically identical.
The only difference was that one had short hair while the other had long hair.
Seeing their stunningly long legs exposed, Chen Bin couldn’t help but gulp.
If he could hoist them onto his shoulders, it would definitely feel amazing.
As Chen Bin secretly observed these sisters, they began evaluating him as well.
Soon, the long-haired woman strode up to him and said coldly,
"What are you staring at? Never seen a beauty before?"
Only then did Chen Bin realize his rudeness.
He quickly lowered his head and apologized, "I’m really sorry. I’m waiting for a friend and accidentally noticed you. Please forgive ."
The long-haired woman sneered smugly but wasn’t ready to let it go. "Oh, so you think an apology’s enough?"
Frowning slightly, Chen Bin began to feel a bit annoyed.
Already frustrated from waiting, he now faced soone who wouldn’t let him off lightly.
Taking a deep breath, he forced a smile.
"Then tell , miss. What else would you like to do?"
With hands on her hips, the long-haired woman angrily asked,
"Then tell , do you think I’m beautiful or not?"
Taking a closer look at her, Chen Bin found her face sowhat familiar but couldn’t quite place it.
Nonetheless, her delicate features paired with her graceful figure undeniably made her a rare beauty.
Nodding honestly, Chen Bin replied,
"Very beautiful!"
"Then why did you say I was ugly last ti?"
With her relentless questioning, Chen Bin was completely bewildered.
Logically speaking, soone so beautiful shouldn’t have gone unnoticed by him.
And he certainly wouldn’t have called her ugly.
What was going on here?
Just as Chen Bin felt utterly confused, the short-haired woman beside her suddenly spoke up.
"Ruoli, can you not be so dramatic? Why are you throwing a tantrum as soon as you see Mr. Chen?"
"What do you an, sis? We look exactly alike. If he says I’m ugly, he’s indirectly calling you unattractive. How can you defend him?"
As Chen Bin stared blankly, the short-haired woman smiled and extended her fair hand to him.
"Mr. Chen, nice to et you. I’m Liao Ruoji. Thank you for helping my sister at the train station last ti."
Train station?
Chen Bin’s mind clicked. The long-haired woman was clearly the girl who had lost her money at the train station before.
Because she had embarrassed him back then, he had jokingly called her ugly.
And now, she had co to confront him in person!
Quickly shaking hands with her, Chen Bin smiled and said,
"Miss Liao, no need to thank . What I said to your sister last ti was just a joke—I hope you don’t take it seriously."
Before Liao Ruoji could respond, Liao Ruoli pouted and exclaid indignantly,
"I do take it seriously! If you don’t apologize, I’ll leave right now!"
"Fine, go ahead and leave then."
"What?"
Eyes wide, Liao Ruoli was utterly dumbfounded.
She had never expected Chen Bin to fire back.
For a mont, her whole deanor resembled a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. She shrieked at him with mock fury.
"I told you to co early so you could reflect on your behavior. Now you dare act like this? I should’ve made you wait here since this morning!"
Hearing this, Chen Bin was almost certain she and her sister were the ones he needed to pick up.
At this point, Liao Ruoji reached out to stop Liao Ruoli, frowning slightly.
"Ruoli, didn’t we agree to co here to thank Mr. Chen? How could you waste his ti like this?"
"Hmph! Serves him right for calling ugly! He deserves to be inconvenienced!"
Not wanting to bicker with her, Chen Bin grabbed Liao Ruoji’s luggage and flashed a smile.
"Miss Liao, why don’t I take you to the County first?"
Shooting her sister a glance, Liao Ruoji smiled and nodded.
"Alright!"
As the two walked off together, Liao Ruoli hurriedly grabbed her suitcase and chased after them.
"Hey, don’t leave behind! Wait for !"
