The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 750: Did You Offend Someone?

In the private room, Chen Bin asked expressionlessly.

"Secretary Bao, have you thought of a way to persuade me?"

Sighing, Bao Kanglu looked completely helpless.

"Not yet."

"In that case, I will..."

Just as Chen Bin was about to stand up and leave, Bao Kanglu grabbed him.

"Minister Chen, some things I've done before were indeed inappropriate, and I apologize. This time I really have no choice, and I can't refuse an old friend. Please help me."

As he spoke, Bao Kanglu directly opened a file and laid it on the table in front of Chen Bin.

Chen Bin hadn't intended to look, but when he accidentally glimpsed the photo, he was instantly captivated.

It must be said, the girl was indeed beautiful, with a great figure.

Besides her golden ratio height, her demeanor was also quite impressive.

Clearing his throat lightly, Chen Bin spoke calmly.

"Since Secretary Bao has put it this way, I'm not a heartless person. After this meal, let your friend's daughter call me. I'd like to talk to her personally."

Bao Kanglu came over this time just to make a last-ditch effort.

Unexpectedly, Chen Bin actually agreed.

So, he quickly raised his glass and excitedly said to Chen Bin.

"Minister Chen, thank you for honoring me. If you ever need anything, just say the word, and I'll do my utmost to help."

"You're welcome."

Chen Bin's lips curled into a slight smile, with a wily glint flashing deep in his eyes.

A few days later, Chen Bin arrived in Tianhe to inspect the venue for the model contest.

Sui Tang immediately led the main leaders of the municipal government to accompany him, but Gan Qiu and Shan Liqiang did not show up.

Chen Bin didn't pay much mind to Gan Qiu.

But Shan Liqiang's absence was truly surprising.

That guy used to frequently visit Tianhai to see him, so why didn't he show up this time in Tianhe?

After inspecting the site, Chen Bin expressed approval to all the staff members.

He then proceeded with a lot of high-sounding rhetoric.

When he planned to return to Tianhai, Sui Tang stopped him.

Unable to refuse such warm hospitality, Chen Bin had to stay.

In the evening, in a private room at the Tianhe Hotel.

Sui Tang had prepared a large table of dishes, but at the table, there were only him and Chen Bin.

The two dined and chatted, and the atmosphere was quite amiable.

As the meal drew to a close, Sui Tang cautiously asked.

"Minister Chen, do you have any instructions regarding the model contest?"

Chen Bin replied in a flat tone, "No instructions, just keep it up."

"I see, well then I..."

Speaking, Sui Tang took out an exquisite gift box from a nearby handbag.

Chen Bin just glanced at the logo and knew it was the top belt brand in the world, where any piece could easily reach millions.

"If you want to give me a gift, then take it back quickly."

Hearing this, Sui Tang's heart tightened, thinking the other Party disliked the gift for being too light.

So he quickly chuckled awkwardly, "Minister Chen, this belt is indeed not worth much, please accept it first. There's more to come, and I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

However, Chen Bin still wore an expressionless demeanor.

"You can inquire around, in all my years of being an official, when have I ever accepted anyone's gift? You're trying to make me make a mistake!"

"Minister Chen, don't worry, only heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know about this, as long as neither of us speaks of it, no one will know."

In Sui Tang's view, it was impossible for Chen Bin to be as incorruptible as the rumors suggested.

If all else failed, he would just feign decline three times, and maybe Chen Bin would accept.

However, Chen Bin snorted coldly, his expression becoming extremely stern.

"I'll tell you one last time, don't gift me, put it away quickly! Otherwise, I could turn hostile!"

Only then did Sui Tang realize that Chen Bin genuinely did not want to accept it, so he hurriedly put the belt back into the bag.

As he was standing there, utterly embarrassed, Chen Bin's voice sounded again.

"I know what you want to accomplish, and regarding the work in the provincial office, I can help."

"Really?!"

Sui Tang's eyes widened in surprise and delight.

"As long as you handle the tasks I've assigned you well, I have ways to fulfill your wishes."

Sui Tang quickly stood up and continuously bowed to Chen Bin, "Thank you, thank you, Minister Chen!"

Chen Bin promptly held him down by the shoulder, speaking sincerely.

"Actually, from the moment I first met you, I had a good impression of you. Since we are destined to meet, helping you isn't out of the question."

Chen Bin wasn't just fooling him; he indeed intended to help Sui Tang.

After all, he would soon be working in Tianhe, and by then, Sui Tang would definitely be transferred.

Since this was the case, it would be better to make him owe a favor.

Although Sui Tang was of little use for now, in Chen Bin's eyes, getting him to the provincial office, he might become useful someday.

After dinner, Chen Bin returned to the room upstairs.

He had just pulled out his phone, intending to call Kawashima Yoshiko when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Looking through the peephole, he saw that it was Shan Liqiang and opened the door to let him in.

After closing the door, Chen Bin noticeably felt something was off about Shan Liqiang and asked.

"Why do you look so upset, what's wrong?"

"I..."

Shan Liqiang sighed, looking as if he wanted to speak but held back.

Chen Bin motioned for him to sit on the sofa, "Just say whatever it is."

"I'm no longer the Minister of Propaganda."

This clearly startled Chen Bin, "What on earth happened?"

"I don't know either. At the last standing committee meeting, they said I was incompetent and decided to remove me from my position as Minister of Propaganda and appoint me as Deputy Director of the Municipal Committee's Rural Work leading group instead."

"Did you offend someone?"

"Well... I'm not sure."

"Alright, then I'll call Sui Tang and find out what's going on."

"Maybe just let it go; even if I found out the real reason, I wouldn't be reinstated to my previous position."

Shaking his head, Chen Bin smiled and responded.

"Is this how you handle a bit of adversity? Back in the day, I was transferred from being a secretary of the County Committee to another county as Political Consultative Conference Chairman, which was far worse than your situation. Success and failure are common in officialdom, ups and downs are normal."

"But in Tianhe, I really have no chance of getting ahead."

Shan Liqiang said this while looking at Chen Bin pleadingly.

"Minister Chen, please think of a way to get me transferred out of Tianhe. I really don't want to stay here any longer."

Only then did Chen Bin realize that Shan Liqiang had been cozying up to him to leave Tianhe.

After some thought, he eventually shook his head.

"For me, transferring you is easy, but I simply cannot help with this."

With his brow furrowed, a sense of foreboding hit Shan Liqiang's heart with a thud.

Could it be because he didn't give a gift?
