In June, the high-level officials of Yanxi Province began to undergo adjustnts.
Xiao Cong was transferred from the position of Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Departnt to Vice Chairman of the Political Consultative Conference.
Regarding his successor, he recomnded Chen Bin to the Provincial Committee.
Zeng Pengchao, Mao Bocheng, and Fu Hongtu unanimously believed that Chen Bin was very suitable to be the Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Departnt.
They also provided suggestions to the Imperial Capital.
Under normal circumstances, it would certainly be approved.
However, the Imperial Capital directly appointed Yang Linke as a Standing Committee mber of the Yanxi Provincial Committee, and as Minister of the Propaganda Departnt.
Usually, deputy-provincial level officials are rarely directly appointed by the Imperial Capital.
Yang Linke receiving such treatnt clearly indicates he has strong connections in the Imperial Capital.
Upon learning of this news, Chen Bin felt quite disheartened.
However, since it was the Imperial Capital’s decision, he could only comply.
Zeng Pengchao, not forgetting his promise to Chen Bin, proposed to the Standing Committee of the Provincial People’s Congress that Chen Bin be appointed vice governor while retaining all previous duties.
Through voting, this matter was quickly passed.
Although he couldn’t make it to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Committee, it’s quite rare for soone in their thirties like Chen Bin to beco a deputy-provincial level official.
In mid-June, Zeng Pengchao left Yanxi Province, and the position of the Provincial Committee Secretary was taken over by Cheng Liusha from the adjacent province.
Pang Nianke also left Yanxi Province due to work changes.
As everyone anticipated who would beco the next governor, Fu Hongtu replaced Li Lu, becoming Deputy Secretary of the Yanxi Provincial Committee while also serving as City Party Secretary.
In fact, Fu Hongtu wanted to be governor; his qualifications in all aspects were quite good.
Unfortunately, Chen Xingwu exchanged interests with others in the Imperial Capital, forcing Fu Hongtu to wait.
After more than ten days of silence, the candidate for governor of Yanxi Province was finally revealed.
To everyone’s surprise, it was Mao Bocheng!
Mao Bocheng was extrely shocked by this.
Because the Imperial Capital had previously clearly told him he would be transferred to another province as governor.
Why did it beco the governor of Yanxi Province now?
Though the governorship is good, Mao Bocheng didn’t want to stay in Yanxi.
Because Chen Bin held leverage against him, who knows when he might be dragged down?
Just as Mao Bocheng felt uneasy, the Imperial Capital told him his ti in Yanxi was just a transition.
He would be transferred at the latest by next year.
As long as no mistakes occurred before the transfer, there would definitely be no issues.
Upon knowing that Mao Bocheng beca governor, Chen Bin was very pleased.
Cheng Liusha was the Provincial Committee Secretary, Mao Bocheng was the governor, and Fu Hongtu was the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Committee.
With those three powerful connections, as long as Chen Bin didn’t make mistakes, he was sure to have a bright future.
Regarding position changes, naturally, so were delighted while others were worried.
In a teahouse, Yang Linke complained with a full face, "Even soone like Mao Bocheng can be governor; I really don’t understand what the superiors are thinking!"
Yang Linke had worked in the province for many years, seeing everyone’s capabilities clearly.
Putting a loafer like Mao Bocheng in the governorship position was a sheer waste.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiong Wubing, sitting opposite him, replied.
"The more it goes, the more important relationships beco. Mao Bocheng has strong connections in the Imperial Capital; it’s reasonable for him to be governor. Yet, he probably won’t last long; he might leave next year."
Hearing this, Yang Linke quickly asked.
"Dear nephew, who do you think can take over after Mao Bocheng leaves next year?"
Xiong Wubing understood his uncle’s aning and replied.
"You’re my uncle; I would naturally recomnd you for governor. However, you still need to perform well, show so achievents, so when my grandfather fights for you, there would be confidence."
With a sigh, Yang Linke appeared sowhat worried.
"I know you and Chen Bin don’t get along, but that kid has good relations with Cheng Liusha and Mao Bocheng, and I fear I alone won’t be able to handle him."
"Uncle, you can’t say it like that. Chen Bin handles so many affairs, he can’t always do everything perfectly. If you seize an opportunity, even with help from Cheng Liusha and Mao Bocheng, he can definitely be skinned alive."
"Alright, I’ll think carefully about this."
Yes. I’ll study it thoroughly.
After Cheng Liusha and Mao Bocheng took office, there were endless people trying to please them.
But both chose to act low-key, refusing all invitations beyond work.
One person was an exception, and that was Chen Bin!
Facing Chen Bin’s invitation, Mao Bocheng, worried about being seen, let Chen Bin visit his ho.
Zhu Qin cooked personally for them, and the two brothers ate joyfully.
The next day, Chen Bin invited Cheng Liusha.
Upon arriving at the Tianhai Hotel, Cheng Liusha did not see Lu Cailian in the private room, and his interest dropped instantly.
"Why didn’t Cailian co?"
Chen Bin replied, "She caught a cold recently and is sick at ho."
Hearing this, Cheng Liusha beca very worried.
"How is she now? Did she go to the hospital?"
"It’s nothing serious, just a heat cold, needs ho rest."
"Tell her if she feels really unwell to go to the hospital, not to endure it."
"Okay, I’ll convey that; please, take a seat."
Actually, Lu Cailian wasn’t sick; Chen Bin simply wanted to test Cheng Liusha’s reaction.
From this point, Chen Bin could essentially confirm that his opponent truly fancied Lu Cailian.
Secretly sighing, his mood began to beco complicated.
Offering one’s woman to soone else, such actions are indeed ridiculous.
Despite Lu Cailian’s absence, Cheng Liusha continuously inquired about her.
"How much do you know about Cailian’s situation?"
Chen Bin answered, "Although we are superior and subordinate, we are good friends outside of work. Secretary Cheng, just ask whatever you want; anything I know, I will tell you."
"She’s so gentle and kind; her family must be very happy?"
"No, she was married once, accidentally caught her ex-husband cheating, and often got beaten. That marriage was very unhappy; I helped her to divorce."
Hearing this, Cheng Liusha clenched his fists, anger showing between his eyebrows.
"Was she single always after the divorce?"
"Yes. She is the top host on our station, very busy, so she has no ti for relationships. Moreover, after experiencing dostic violence, she’s beco afraid of marriage. But through chatting, I feel she still wants a complete family."
"What kind of n does she fancy?"
"Cailian is beautiful and usually doesn’t lack money, so she doesn’t have high material demands. But as I know, she likes n who can communicate well and are rational. Certainly, anyone with a tendency for violence is a no-go."
Nodding, Cheng Liusha looked aningfully at Chen Bin.
"You, as her friend, should be attentive to her matters. If there’s a suitable man, introduce him to her; a woman as excellent as her deserves to be cherished."
"I understand, I’ve been eyeing good n recently for Cailian around ."
After having dinner, as Cheng Liusha prepared to leave, Chen Bin suddenly asked.
"Secretary Cheng, I have sothing to ask you, but fear it may infringe on your privacy."
"What is it? Go ahead and ask."
"You’re so outstanding; your family must be very happy?"
Cheng Liusha didn’t directly answer, but said, "I have a son, and a beloved one."
Hearing this, Chen Bin began to feel puzzled.
Having a wife, why be so attentive to Lu Cailian?
Could it be that Cheng Liusha wanted to make Lu Cailian a confidante?
If that’s really the case, then absolutely not...
