Chapter 117: Chapter 117: What a Disgrace!

The sudden commotion instantly caught the attention of both individuals.

Xie Chujing and Chen Bin startled, trembling all over as they immediately turned their heads toward the door.

Soon after, the door was pushed open forcefully.

A middle-aged couple came in holding fresh flowers.

Chen Bin and Xie Shan locked eyes, both staring in utter shock.

The woman beside Xie Shan screamed in fright and quickly ran into the master bedroom.

Xie Chujing struggled to sit up, clutching her chest with her hands. Her face was flushed with embarrassment, trembling uncontrollably.

After shutting the door, Xie Shan yelled at Chen Bin and Xie Chujing.

"What kind of behavior is this? Hurry up and put on your clothes!"

He then casually placed the flowers next to the shoe cabinet and stormed into the master bedroom following his wife.

Xie Shan was usually very busy with work and rarely spent time at home with Xie Chujing.

This time, he had resigned from work to make an effort to celebrate his daughter’s birthday.

But unexpectedly, he walked right into this scene.

In fact, Xie Shan was quite satisfied with Chen Bin.

Not only did he have solid connections, but his recent act of bravery had also turned him into the subject of widespread praise.

If it had been someone else mistreating his daughter like this, Xie Shan would surely have beaten them to the point where even their mother couldn’t recognize them!

After Xie Shan entered the master bedroom, Xie Chujing, with a red face, smacked Chen Bin furiously.

"It’s all your fault! I told you my parents were coming home soon, but you still insisted. Now look, they caught us! What are we supposed to do?"

Sighing, Chen Bin quickly withdrew his "dragon" from the "valley."

"Let’s clean up here first, and we’ll talk later."

The two worked together to clean up the dining area and then went back to the room to rest.

Chen Bin initially intended to resume the unfinished activity, but Xie Chujing adamantly refused.

In the end, after Chen Bin’s persistent coaxing, she relented and used her mouth to satisfy him.

The next morning, after getting out of bed, Xie Shan and his wife had already prepared breakfast.

During the meal, everyone tacitly avoided mentioning last night’s events.

While chatting, Xie Shan said to Chen Bin.

"Xiao Bin, I only have one daughter, Chujing. My coal mining business is making good money now. When are the two of you planning to get married? The earlier you give me a grandchild, the better!"

"Dad!"

As soon as Xie Shan finished speaking, Xie Chujing’s face turned bright red with embarrassment.

Despite her shyness, her gaze instinctively sought Chen Bin.

Chen Bin didn’t expect Xie Shan to bring up such a sensitive topic so early in the morning.

Clearing his throat, he tried to find a way to evade the matter.

"Uncle, I’m not even twenty-two yet. Once I reach the right age next year, I certainly won’t let Chujing down."

"Good! I’ll start preparing Chujing’s dowry now."

Laughing heartily, Xie Shan seemed overjoyed.

Xie Chujing, too, wore an expression of bliss, so much so that she couldn’t resist kissing Chen Bin on the cheek despite her parents’ presence.

Seeing this warm scene between the couple, Xie Shan’s wife smiled and nodded approvingly.

After breakfast, Chen Bin planned to take a cab to the County Committee and County Government himself.

Yet Xie Shan insisted on driving him personally.

Unable to refuse, Chen Bin reluctantly agreed.

When they parted ways after getting out of the car, Chen Bin silently vowed to visit Xie Chujing’s home less often in the future.

Otherwise, he worried that he might lose control and end up marrying Xie Chujing.

Meanwhile, a leadership meeting was being held in the city.

The announcement regarding the adjustments to Tianhai Municipal Committee leadership positions began.

Cao Sanjin was appointed as a member of Yanxi Province’s Provincial Committee Standing Committee, Tianhai Municipal Committee member, Standing Committee member, and Secretary of the Municipal Committee.

Once the meeting ended, the attendees gradually dispersed, leaving Wu Liang sitting alone with a despondent expression.

For nearly ten minutes, he sat motionless before slamming his fist hard against the table.

After transferring money to Chen Bin earlier, he had been puzzled by the absence of any developments.

Having spent years in officialdom, he understood that appointments for important positions like Tianhai Municipal Committee Secretary were typically preceded by interviews with Provincial Committee leaders.

Only now did he realize he’d been duped by a young upstart!

Suppressing his growing fury, Wu Liang quickly returned to his office.

When he dialed Chen Bin’s number, he was so agitated that it seemed like he might crack his phone screen.

The moment the call connected, he roared hysterically.

"Why? Why isn’t the Municipal Committee Secretary position mine? Why?"

Chen Bin immediately understood that the official notice regarding Cao Sanjin’s appointment had been issued.

Even faced with exposure, he remained calm, his tone composed.

"I was just about to call you about this. Didn’t expect you to beat me to it. How about meeting at our usual place for lunch?"

"No way! I can’t wait another second! I want answers now!"

Noticing Wu Liang’s resolute attitude, Chen Bin said casually.

"What’s the problem? Are you thinking of going against Mr. Feng?"

"This..."

These words instantly snapped Wu Liang’s rage-clouded mind back to clarity.

"Fine. Let’s meet at Qingshi Hotel for lunch!"

At noon, when Chen Bin arrived at the hotel’s private room, Wu Liang was already waiting.

While Chen Bin appeared relaxed, Wu Liang’s face was grim and filled with fury.

His eyes fixated on Chen Bin as if ready to tear him to pieces.

"Secretary Chen, you’d better explain what’s going on!"

Chen Bin explained.

"The matter of appointing you as Tianhai Municipal Committee Secretary had initially been finalized. However, someone from the Imperial Capital specifically designated Cao Sanjin to replace Li Lu a few days ago. So... maybe wait until Cao Sanjin earns his credentials?"

"Impossible! My term as mayor is almost up. By the time Cao Sanjin leaves, I’d already be retired!"

Perhaps due to excessive anger, Wu Liang could no longer restrain himself and even resorted to swearing.

"What do you want to do then?"

"Return my money! If the deal can’t be done, at least give me back my money!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bin couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"A mayor of a provincial capital actually saying something so amateurish? No wonder you can’t become a top leader!"

Smack!

Wu Liang slammed the table fiercely, glaring at Chen Bin.

"Say that again if you dare!"

"No need to get agitated. As the go-between for you and Secretary Feng, don’t you want to hear his perspective on this matter?"

Snorting coldly, Wu Liang fell silent.

Chen Bin rubbed his belly, sighing.

"You’re not expecting me to discuss this with you on an empty stomach, are you?"

Left without other options, Wu Liang sighed heavily.

Shouting to the waiter, he said, "Order the food!"

When the dishes were served, Chen Bin wasted no time devouring them.

Wu Liang, preoccupied with the matter of his promotion, had no appetite.

Crossing his arms, he simply stared at Chen Bin.

Seeing the latter showing no intention to speak, Wu Liang couldn’t hold back and said with a muffled voice.

"I’m not competing with you. Say what you need to. What’s really going on with this matter?!"
