The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 321: Turns Out to Be Jealous!

Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:

Nodding, Chen Bin quickly replied.

"Okay, as long as you’re willing to let go, I’ll agree to anything!"

Actually, he hadn’t feared Zhao Xinmei for a long time, and the reason he was willing to give in was just to save face for the other party.

With a soft snort, Zhao Xinmei appeared somewhat smug.

"From today on, we’ll meet at most once a week, no more."

"Ah? Why?"

Seeing Chen Bin’s unwilling expression, Zhao Xinmei explained.

"I’m doing this for your health; otherwise, in a few years, when you’re older, your body will break down."

"Then... okay."

"Also, don’t flirt around outside, especially with Li Mengying; minimize your contact with her. Do you understand?"

It was only then that Chen Bin showed a look of realization.

"I was wondering why you were acting strange yesterday; turns out you were jealous!"

Having her feelings seen through, Zhao Xinmei immediately became a bit embarrassed and angry.

The strength in her hands gradually increased.

"Who’s jealous? I’m thinking about my future daughter-in-law!"

"Alright, I promise you. Is there a third point?"

"No more, hurry up and get up!"

After Zhao Xinmei released her jade-like hand, Chen Bin directly fell into her embrace.

Smelling the light fragrance, he found himself mesmerized.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Xinmei, after some hesitation, still gently hugged Chen Bin’s head.

After the affection ended, they got up and washed up one after another.

Having done all this, Chen Bin told Zhao Xinmei that he had some things to attend to at noon and wouldn’t be back for lunch.

Then, he directly took a taxi to Yammy Restaurant.

Approaching noon, Tan Rongxi also drove to the destination.

After reporting Chen Bin’s name at the front desk, a waiter led him to a private room.

"County Magistrate Chen, we meet again!"

Walking into the private room, Tan Rongxi extended his hand with a smile on his face.

Chen Bin, however, looked indifferent, showing no intention of shaking hands.

"Sit down!"

Nodding somewhat awkwardly, Tan Rongxi sat down nearby.

"I wonder what business County Magistrate Chen has with me?"

"I’m not one for beating around the bush, to be honest with you, I can help you become the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, but from now on you must stand by my side, are you willing?"

Tan Rongxi didn’t expect Chen Bin to be so direct, but this was good, it saved him the trouble of talking in circles.

"Of course, I’m willing, but can County Magistrate Chen really make this happen for me?"

"Rest assured, it won’t be long before you get the notice. And as long as you obey, being the Executive Deputy County Magistrate will only be the start of your career path."

For those in officialdom, getting promoted and wealthy has always been their dream.

Nodding, Tan Rongxi replied sincerely.

"As long as you can help me achieve my desires, I’ll follow you!"

Raising his glass, Chen Bin said with a smile.

"Then shall we toast to our pleasant future cooperation?"

Tan Rongxi also hurriedly picked up the glass in front of him.

"Good, then I await good news from you!"

The reason Chen Bin chose to act against Tan Rongxi first was calculated.

After all, Tan Rongxi had long wanted to become the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, but unfortunately, Ye Hong never promoted him.

Chen Bin acted at this time, not just to win him over, but also as a means of deterrence.

After all, if he could achieve what Ye Hong couldn’t, it would be a clear message.

As long as Tan Rongxi was not a fool, he would know what to do.

Moreover, everyone in the county committee and county government knew that Tan Rongxi was Ye Hong’s man.

When Tan Rongxi chose to defect later, it would likely instill fear among Ye Hong’s associates.

By that time, dissolving Ye Hong’s influence would be much easier.

During the meal, the two exchanged quite a few pleasantries and chatted happily.

About a week later, due to his meritorious service in flood control and rescue, Tan Rongxi was nominated by the Tianhai Municipal Committee as the Executive Deputy County Magistrate of Dragon Mountain County.

The news caused an immediate stir in the Dragon Mountain political scene.

Everyone thought it was Ye Hong’s doing.

However, Ye Hong knew very well that it had nothing to do with him.

Calling Tan Rongxi into the office, Ye Hong directly asked, "What on earth is going on here?"

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Tan Rongxi feigned a bewildered expression.

"What do you mean, what’s going on?"

"Don’t play dumb with me. Was the municipal committee nomination your doing?"

Shaking his head, Tan Rongxi calmly replied.

"Didn’t the municipal committee say it was because of my meritorious service in flood control and rescue that they..."

"Bullshit service!"

Ye Hong scolded coldly, "That’s just an excuse! Tell me the truth, do you have someone backing you?"

"No! You know my situation best; if I had someone, I would’ve been promoted long ago."

Ye Hong indeed had no room to argue against this.

After all, he knew Tan Rongxi’s situation inside and out.

But if no one helped, then this matter seemed peculiar.

Could it really be related to flood control and rescue?

After dismissing Tan Rongxi, Ye Hong immediately called Cai Weiguo into the office.

"What do you think about Tan Rongxi becoming the Executive Deputy County Magistrate?"

After pondering for a moment, Cai Weiguo slowly began to speak.

"This is likely related to Chen Bin."

"But that doesn’t make sense. Tan Rongxi is my man; why would Chen Bin help him? And I’ve already investigated, there are no special connections between Chen Bin and Cao Sanjin."

Slightly frowning, Cai Weiguo was momentarily confused as well.

Could he have guessed wrong again?

Then Ye Hong continued.

"I think it’s highly likely that Tan Rongxi has cozied up to someone else, and just doesn’t want to tell me."

"If that’s true, it means your relationship with him isn’t as strong as you thought."

With that, Cai Weiguo turned around and left.

Savoring the words, Ye Hong gradually fell into deep thought.

Once Tan Rongxi officially became the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, Chen Bin returned to Dragon Mountain County.

Just as he stepped into the office, Xiong Wubing arrived.

"Did you know Tan Rongxi became the Executive Deputy County Magistrate?"

Chen Bin nodded, "Yes, I knew. So what?"

"Ye Hong’s camp was already strong in numbers, and now with Tan Rongxi as the Executive Deputy County Magistrate, our situation seems to have become more perilous."

Chen Bin replied with a smile, "Not necessarily."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Secrets can’t be revealed; you’ll find out in due time."

After Xiong Wubing left, Chen Bin called Tan Rongxi.

"Director Tan... oh no, County Magistrate Tan, congratulations!" freewebnσvel.cøm

Tan Rongxi also replied with a smile.

"It’s all thanks to County Magistrate Chen, rest assured that in the future, no matter what you want, just give the order, and I’ll make sure it’s done impeccably!"

Tan Rongxi knew very well that with Chen Bin’s efficiency, he must have a strong backing.

Changing sides now would certainly not be a mistake.

"Rest assured, I always appreciate smart people. As long as you listen, everything will be easy to discuss!"

After this incident, Tan Rongxi had great trust in Chen Bin.

He quickly answered flatteringly, "Rest assured, I will never let you down!"

"Alright, then transfer my former driver Cheng Zhuang from the Qinghe Town Police Station to the county office."

"No problem, I’ll handle it right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Bin fell into contemplation.

The county standing committee currently had a total of twelve members, besides himself and Ye Hong, of the remaining ten, only four were Chen Bin’s people.

Of the remaining six, although they were Ye Hong’s men, the situations varied.

Among the six, four were Ye Hong’s staunch followers, as for the remaining two, they were fence-sitters.

Hence, the fence-sitters had no value to woo over.

However, pulling over those four staunch followers was no easy feat.

Just as Chen Bin was in a dilemma, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the office.

Taking a deep breath, he calmly said.

"Come in!"
