Chen Bin nodded and admitted directly.
"Yeah, I was doing it to keep him from pestering you... Hey, what are you doing?!"
Before Chen Bin could finish his sentence, Xu Ruoxuan landed two solid punches on his chest.
"Alright, so it really was you. I’ll beat you to death for this!"
Xu Ruoxuan was genuinely angry, her punches were heavy-handed.
The two punches made Chen Bin grimace in pain.
He quickly hugged Xu Ruoxuan tightly, sounding a bit annoyed as he spoke.
"Why are you even hitting for real?"
"Who asked you to spread rumors? Serves you right!"
Seeing Xu Ruoxuan’s furious expression, Chen Bin imdiately explained.
"I did it clearly to help you out. At the ti, I thought it would resolve everything once and for all."
Letting out the anger in her heart, Xu Ruoxuan’s tone softened a bit.
"But you should have told in advance. Do you know how awful it feels to be the subject of gossip?"
"If I had told you, would you have agreed to let do it?"
"Of course not!"
"See? You already know the answer."
Shrugging his shoulders, Chen Bin reached inside Xu Ruoxuan’s clothes.
She shuddered in fright, "What are you doing? Don’t ss around in the office!"
Chen Bin nodded with a smile, "Fine then, tonight you better rember to keep your promise to ."
With those words, he turned and left directly.
Back in his office, Chen Bin saw Xie Chujing still writing furiously, so he asked.
"Are you finished?"
She took a deep breath and placed her pen on the table.
Looking at Chen Bin, her expression showed so nervousness.
"I’ve finished writing, but I feel like it’s not very good."
Chen Bin smiled and replied, "Doesn’t matter, everything is about practice. As long as you keep working hard later, you’ll definitely improve."
Then, he picked up Xie Chujing’s reflection essay to read.
Chen Bin initially thought Xie Chujing was the type of woman who has high standards but poor skills, but to his surprise, she was actually quite sincere.
The essay contained many words, with no sign of sloppiness.
Unfortunately, her writing skills were so poor that nearly the entire piece would need revisions.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell her the truth.
He simply nodded and smiled as he replied.
"It’s written very well. Keep up the good work."
The response left Xie Chujing feeling a bit uncertain.
"You’re not lying to , are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? It’s truly better than I expected. When you have ti in the future, continue writing, and I’ll discuss it with you slowly then."
"Alright, thank you then."
After saying that, Xie Chujing exchanged contact information with Chen Bin and then turned to leave.
When she entered Huang Ming’s office, he smiled and asked.
"Chujing, what do you think of Chen Bin as a person?"
After thinking for a mont, Xie Chujing opted to speak honestly.
"He’s very handso and patient in his work, but I don’t have any feelings for him."
"When it cos to marriage, picking the right person is the most important. Chen Bin is very capable. He beca the secretary of the County Committee Secretary right after graduating college, and he’s also an orphan. If you marry him, you’d have no issues like conflicts with your in-laws."
Nodding slightly, Xie Chujing took his words to heart.
In her eyes, her godfather was an absolute big shot.
Since Huang Ming said so, he was unlikely to be wrong.
Then, Huang Ming continued.
"Let tell you this: if you marry Chen Bin and get my support, it’s not impossible for him to take over my position in the future. Such an outstanding young man—you really need to seize the opportunity."
Hearing that, Xie Chujing’s eyes lit up.
Back when her dad was the deputy head of the county public security bureau, many people voluntarily tried to curry favor with her.
If she could beco the wife of the County Magistrate, the number of people sucking up to her would surely increase.
"Godfather, I’ve never been in a relationship, so I don’t know what to do."
"That’s easy. There’s an old saying: ’Pursuing a woman is like crossing a mountain, but pursuing a man is as thin as a veil.’ As long as you dedicate yourself to him, he’ll absolutely follow you wholeheartedly."
Such blunt words left Xie Chujing’s face flushed.
Lowering her head, she didn’t dare look at Huang Ming directly.
"Alright, I understand what to do now."
In the days that followed, Xie Chujing started visiting Chen Bin’s office whenever she had ti.
Under the guise of learning how to write, their relationship grew closer by the day.
As she got to know him more deeply, Xie Chujing found that Chen Bin wasn’t just handso but had a great personality too.
Sotis, he would even crack shaless jokes, which made her like him even more.
After determining Chen Bin was the man she wanted, Xie Chujing launched her offensive.
Every afternoon, she would personally bring Chen Bin lunch.
And every al was unique, showing great effort.
This made many people in the County Committee and County Governnt even more jealous of Chen Bin.
Not only had he quickly beco the secretary of the County Committee Secretary, he was soon promoted to a deputy departnt-level role.
And now, he had a gentle and considerate girlfriend.
Truly, comparing oneself to others could drive one mad!
As their relationship continued improving, Bailing Winery finally began official production.
Although output increased dozens of tis, under Ma Baotian’s strict quality control, the quality remained impeccable.
When the first batch of wine was bottled and packed, Wang Jun personally led Chen Bin to witness the entire process.
Then, Wang Jun took the first bottle of wine himself.
Saying he wanted to keep it as a personal nto.
No one else had any objections to this.
Back at the County Committee and County Governnt, Wang Jun looked at the bottle of liquor on the table, feeling excited.
He had staked his future on the winery. Next ca the sales.
As long as the wine sold well, his efforts over the past months wouldn’t be in vain.
At that mont, Chen Bin suddenly said.
"Godfather, I wanted to discuss sothing with you."
"What is it?"
Wang Jun turned slightly, his gaze falling on Chen Bin.
"Ma Juan has opened a clothing shop in the city recently—it looks quite profitable. She’s soone who has business acun. A few days ago, she approached saying she wants to sell wine from the winery. What do you think?"
"I don’t mind. After all, sales are sales no matter who does them. But you’ll need to discuss it with the factory director, He Chaoping."
"Alright, I’ll definitely talk to him properly. I just wanted to give you a heads-up first."
Chen Bin knew that decisions regarding the wine factory were ultimately up to He Chaoping, but as a show of respect, he still sought Wang Jun’s opinion first.
At that mont, Wang Jun suddenly teased.
"I was thinking about introducing a partner to you before, but now it seems unnecessary. On one side you have Xie Chujing, and on the other, you’ve got Ma Juan. You better not overdo things."
Wang Jun’s words made Chen Bin blush.
"Godfather, what are you saying! Between and Xie Chujing, it’s just casual interaction. As for Ma Juan... she’s just a slightly closer friend. Please don’t..."
Before Chen Bin could finish, Wang Jun waved him off with a firm gesture.
"No need to explain to . After all, there’s a saying: ’A youth missed in frivolity is a waste.’ But rember, no matter what you do, keep it within limits. With your capability, your future is boundless—don’t end up like Sun Cheng."
Chen Bin understood that Wang Jun was advising him out of goodwill, so he nodded repeatedly.
"Don’t worry, Godfather. I know exactly how to handle
