"Never heard of it."
Sui Tang shook his head, looking puzzled.
Chen Bin explained, "It's a won's lingerie brand from the Beautiful Country, known worldwide. Currently, the provincial TV station has reached a cooperation with the company, intending to host a lingerie show in our province this year. What do you think about Tianhe?"
Sui Tang was taken aback at first, then nodded repeatedly.
"Great, of course! Such an influential show held in Tianhe will definitely let the world know about this city. On behalf of the Tianhe Municipal Governnt, thank you, Minister Chen."
"To create montum for the lingerie show, the provincial station plans to hold a model contest in advance, and I also want it to be in Tianhe."
Sui Tang was very excited upon hearing this and stood up to bow deeply to Chen Bin.
"Minister Chen, thank you so much, this... this is wonderful."
After signaling to the other party to sit down, Chen Bin continued.
"I place great importance on both the model contest and the lingerie show. You must handle it well, do you understand?"
"Please rest assured, Minister Chen, I will not betray your trust."
Though he said this, Sui Tang also felt very curious.
In terms of influence, Tianhe is far inferior to Tianhai.
Why would Chen Bin choose Tianhe for those two important events?
Could it be that the small gifts he sent recently had an effect?
At this mont, Chen Bin's voice rang out again.
"Since you are the City Party Secretary of Tianhe, you must be very familiar with the situation there. Tell , what's going on with Tianhe's developnt?"
Regarding this issue, Sui Tang also felt very puzzled.
However, he still explained, "I believe the main reason is that the previous leadership team of Tianhe City lacked ability. Now I want to develop well, but I simply don't have enough funds."
"So, what do you think about Tianhe's developnt potential?"
"Tianhe is a coastal city, with great developnt potential. It's just unfortunate that the city lacks money, which makes things so difficult."
Chen Bin scoffed at these words.
With great potential, how can money not be found?
It's either laziness or incompetence.
He had seen Sui Tang's resu; this guy had been an official for over 20 years, with almost no standout achievents in his political career.
"What do you think about the political environnt in Tianhe?"
Sui Tang spoke honestly, "The political environnt is actually the sa in every place, but Tianhe might be a bit worse."
"Why is that?"
"There are many cronies inside, and they are extrely exclusive; outsiders can hardly establish themselves."
With a slight frown, Chen Bin asked aningfully.
"I rember you're not from Tianhe either. Aren't you doing quite well?"
With a wry smile and a sigh, Sui Tang didn't respond.
Chen Bin continued, "You're only in your fifties, work hard, and you might take another step forward in the future."
These words made Sui Tang overjoyed.
He was really fed up with Tianhe and had long wanted to leave.
Unfortunately, personnel changes in the province last year were too frequent, and all his supporters were removed.
Without any political achievents, Sui Tang felt lost about the future.
At this mont, Chen Bin appeared in his sight.
From a grassroots official, he had gradually beco the Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Departnt.
In the entire Yanxi political scene, and even nationwide, he was the brightest new star in the political arena.
Sui Tang had long wanted to curry favor with Chen Bin, but he could never find an opportunity.
Now that Chen Bin said he could help him advance, Sui Tang finally understood.
It was ti to show his capabilities!
After returning to Tianhe, Sui Tang imdiately convened a eting of the district committee's standing committee to announce that the provincial station was preparing to hold a model contest in Tianhe, as well as the dusa lingerie show.
Upon hearing this news, Shan Liqiang imdiately drove to Tianhai.
Upon seeing Chen Bin, he imdiately took the initiative to ask, "Minister Chen, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Just do the promotional work well and strive to enhance Tianhe City's reputation."
Shan Liqiang imdiately took out a notebook and wrote down Chen Bin's words.
"Please rest assured, Minister Chen, I guarantee to complete the task!"
To be honest, Chen Bin thought it was quite pretentious of the other party.
It was just so empty rhetoric; did he really need to take notes on this?
However, seeing Shan Liqiang taking notes unexpectedly filled his heart with a sense of vanity.
After Shan Liqiang finished writing, Chen Bin asked again.
"How do you find the political environnt in Tianhe? Just tell it like it is."
After thinking it over, Shan Liqiang shook his head slightly.
"The environnt is not great, but it's the sa all over the country, so it's not unique to Tianhe."
"And what do you think of Sui Tang as a person?"
"He's adept at the middle way, preferring to play it safe. He's the only outsider in Tianhe to have been promoted from mayor to City Party Secretary."
"So, according to you, he must have considerable political skill."
"On the contrary, he hardly involves himself in anything. As long as he doesn't harm the interests of the locals in Tianhe, no one opposes him."
Nodding slightly, Chen Bin continued to ask.
"So who holds real power in the whole of Tianhe?"
"Mayor Gan Qiu! He's a local of Tianhe, and he's never left Tianhe throughout his political career."
Gan Qiu?
Chen Bin silently repeated the na to himself, with a gradually stern gaze.
After casually chatting with Shan Liqiang a bit more, he let him leave.
Leaving the Provincial Committee, Shan Liqiang didn't drive away but instead called Bao Shanshan to arrange a al.
Bao Shanshan understood that Shan Liqiang had helped her to get a job in the province.
So she had no hesitation accepting his invitation directly.
When Bao Shanshan drove to the Tianhai Hotel, she was unaware that a car was secretly following her.
After parking in the parking lot, Bao Shanshan headed to the main entrance.
Upon eting Shan Liqiang, the two entered the hotel together.
When Gan Luo saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.
He never expected Bao Shanshan to check into a room with Shan Liqiang.
Suppressing his anger, he imdiately followed.
Noticing that the two walked into a restaurant together, Gan Luo let out a long sigh of relief.
But then, his heart imdiately leaped into his throat.
If they booked a room after dinner, what would he do?
Thinking of this, he started waiting silently in the lobby.
anwhile, inside a private room in the hotel.
After ordering, Shan Liqiang said to Bao Shanshan.
"I just went to see Minister Chen, and he's very satisfied with your work."
Her eyes lit up imdiately, "Really?"
In Bao Shanshan's view, since coming to work in the province, Chen Bin had never praised her.
Shan Liqiang nodded and continued.
"It's absolutely true, but he thinks you could do even better."
These words made Bao Shanshan's heart "thump" with nervousness.
"Minister Shan, please remind ."
"Minister Chen is still single. Although very capable, n generally don't take care of themselves. You could help with his life within your ans."
With a slight frown, Bao Shanshan appeared a bit hesitant.
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?"
