Evening, in Cheng Liusha's study.
Cheng Liusha seed very angry after listening to Chen Bin's report.
"I'm going to call that bastard right now and ask him to explain to what's going on!"
Chen Bin quickly stopped him, "Secretary Cheng, I think it's better to let it go. Cheng Kai hasn't been doing well these days; his ntal state has worsened a lot."
"Now he knows it's hard for him? Wasn't he quite carefree while two-timing? What a disgrace!"
"Sigh, things have co to this point; no matter how much you scold him, it won't help."
Taking a deep breath, Cheng Liusha asked, "Is there still any room for negotiation between him and Wu Jie?"
"Probably not. Wu Jie wanted to marry Cheng Kai, and now suddenly another woman appears, pregnant. She can't accept such a blow."
"What does Lan Moke think?"
Compared to Wu Jie, Cheng Liusha was more impressed with Lan Moke.
After all, Lan Moke is a news channel host, and as the Provincial Committee Secretary, Cheng Liusha was quite interested.
"Lan Moke genuinely wants to be with Cheng Kai; otherwise, she wouldn't be pregnant. It's just that she didn't expect Cheng Kai to be seeing both of them. She's still in a stage of hesitation, unsure of what choice to make."
"What does Cheng Kai an by all this?"
"He just broke up with Wu Jie and hasn't expressed his stance on Lan Moke yet, but I think it's quite likely they'll end up together. After all, there's both a child and feelings involved; a little matchmaking should succeed."
In Cheng Liusha's view, Lan Moke, whether in appearance or ability, was not inferior to Wu Jie.
Since she was already pregnant, he naturally favored Lan Moke more.
So he patted Chen Bin's shoulder with a grateful smile.
"Then, be a good person to the end and help Cheng Kai."
"You flatter . In my heart, you and Cheng Kai are like family to , and I will naturally do my utmost to help. Besides, I'll be very happy if Cheng Kai gets remarried."
"Yes, exactly! We're all family here!"
At this point in the conversation, Chen Bin tentatively asked.
"Secretary Cheng, are you tired? If not, shall we discuss sothing else?"
"Sure, what do you want to talk about?"
"What's the current situation with Tianhe being selected for the national program?"
"As it stands, there's almost no chance. This is the Liao family's doing, or rather, it's Liao Jiangming's doing."
Chen Bin feigned confusion, "Why would he do that?"
"The reason is actually quite simple. If it's selected for the national program, Tianhe will beco a vice-provincial city, and its future developnt will have nothing to do with the Yanxi Provincial Governnt, which ans he won't gain any political achievents from it."
"I see, and being the number one figure in Yanxi, it benefits you as well."
Cheng Liusha didn't deny it but smiled and asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, Liao Jiangming must have talked to you about going to Tianhe, right?"
"Yes, indeed. I'm here this ti to discuss moving to Tianhe with you. I just didn't expect you'd bring it up first."
"I must say, you are indeed the best candidate to go to Tianhe. If even you can't help it develop, then Tianhe might have no hope in the future."
"Rest assured, Secretary Cheng, once I go to Tianhe, I'll definitely go all out."
"I naturally have confidence in you, but the waters of Tianhe are deep. If you want to make drastic developnts, you're bound to offend so people, so be ntally prepared for that."
"No matter how powerful Monkey Sun is, he can't escape the Buddha's palm. I don't believe those officials in Tianhe can be more significant than you!"
Chen Bin's flattering words ca unexpectedly, but Cheng Liusha enjoyed them nonetheless.
"People always say there are only two types of people in officialdom: those who are all talk and those who truly have skills. You happen to be both capable and eloquent, a rare gem."
"Secretary Cheng, please don't praise ; it'll make conceited."
"If a few complints from make you conceited, then you're not the Chen Bin I know."
"By the way, there's sothing I want to discuss with you. I wonder if you could move the Tianhe District Committee Secretary, Sui Tang, to work at the Provincial Governnt?"
As a seasoned official, Cheng Liusha quickly understood his intentions.
"You want to take the opportunity to do soone a favor. Tell , where do you plan to place him?"
Chen Bin seriously replied, "He's not very capable and can't be heavily relied upon. I think a lateral move would suffice."
"That's not difficult. You have many roles; just give him one of them."
After so thought, Chen Bin answered.
"Then let's have him take over as Director of the News and Publications Broadcasting Bureau."
"That works, it's up to you."
After discussing everything, Chen Bin went back ho.
The next evening, he t with Liao Jiangming at the Radio and Television International Hotel.
Since coming to Yanxi, Liao Jiangming had been researching everywhere, and he had essentially figured out the entire provincial situation.
He paid special attention to areas with significant developnt potential.
He hoped these areas could beco new economic growth points for the province.
Due to his urgent desire to develop the economy, upon seeing Chen Bin, Liao Jiangming imdiately asked.
"When exactly are you going to Tianhe?"
"Didn't we agree before, in a year's ti..."
"No, I can't wait that long; you have to be there by the end of the year."
"I still have many unfinished tasks on hand, at least until February next year."
"Alright, then you must go by February, and no excuses by then."
"Rest assured, I..."
Not letting Chen Bin finish, the phone suddenly rang.
Seeing who was calling, he imdiately hung up.
Then he said to Liao Jiangming, "I talked to Cheng Liusha yesterday. He fully supports your economic developnt efforts, so go ahead boldly."
While they were chatting, the WeChat notification sound suddenly went off.
Chen Bin glanced at it and saw it was from Ke Jiayi.
"Minister Chen, I've arrived in Tianhai now. I called earlier, but you didn't answer. Can we et?"
He typed a reply, "I'm at the Radio and Television International Hotel. Just co over directly. But I have sothing to take care of right now, you'll have to wait for a bit."
"Alright, I'll take a cab over."
After replying, Chen Bin continued to have dinner and chat with Liao Jiangming.
Until after eight in the evening, the two finally wrapped up.
Chen Bin escorted Liao Jiangming downstairs and imdiately spotted Ke Jiayi sitting in the lobby.
The latter clearly saw him too and stood up imdiately.
However, Chen Bin looked away and pretended not to recognize her.
Ke Jiayi was just about to greet him but noticed soone was with Chen Bin, so she didn't dare speak.
After seeing Liao Jiangming off, Ke Jiayi prepared to greet Chen Bin again, but he went straight to the elevator.
This left the young lady feeling frustrated—could he still be busy?
Not long after, the WeChat notification sound went off.
It was sent by Chen Bin, "Co to the top floor, room 0000..."
