The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 881 - 883: There Really Is Something Fishy

In the following days, Chen Bin personally drove Jiucai Hezi around Tianhe for sightseeing.

She gradually discovered that Tianhe was indeed quite a nice city.

Before returning to Japan, she even told Chen Bin that she would recommend her father to invest there.

After seeing Jiucai Hezi off, Chen Bin dialed Wei Bailu's number.

"Sweet daughter, what are you up to?"

"On my way to the film set. Godfather's missing me?"

Hearing Wei Bailu's coy voice, Chen Bin laughed and replied.

"Yes, it's been a while since I last screwed you, I do miss it. When will your movie wrap up?"

"Soon, roughly another week. Once it's wrapped up, I'll come to Tianhe to see you."

"No problem, I'll make sure to satisfy you then. By the way, how's your chat with Jingshang Taiyi going?"

"Pretty good, he's even planning to travel to the Beautiful Country with me once I finish filming."

"Don't go abroad yet, come to Tianhe and we'll talk more."

After hanging up, Chen Bin went straight to the municipal committee.

In the meeting room, all the district and county leaders, as well as the principal leaders of the urban development departments, were present.

Once Tianhe's planning strategy was set, all districts and counties began executing it as instructed.

Because of this, Chen Bin's reputation worsened.

After all, in the eyes of Tianhe's residents, he seemed to be doing this simply for political achievements.

However, Chen Bin didn't concern himself with this.

Because he knew he was bringing benefits to Tianhe.

Before long, the residents would understand his intentions.

In the old residential areas being dismantled, the New Port District was the slowest.

After taking his seat, Chen Bin interrogated Dou Bi, the New Port District Party Secretary.

"How are you managing your work? Why is the process so slow?!"

The latter replied helplessly, "There's nothing we can do, our district has a condiment factory, which is a state-owned enterprise. To dismantle it involves resettling over a thousand employees, and that's not easy to solve."

"If it's hard to solve, does that mean it won't be solved?"

With a hint of disdain in his eyes, Dou Bi replied.

"Given the current situation, it may really not be possible to dismantle."

Hearing this, a flicker of anger crossed Chen Bin's mind.

He threw a pen at Dou Bi's head, loudly questioning, "Can you do your job or not?"

"If you don't respect people like this, then I really can't do it."

Bam!

Chen Bin slammed the table hard, shouting in anger.

"Fine, you said it. From now on, you won't be the District Party Secretary anymore!"

Dou Bi glared fiercely at Chen Bin, clenching his fists, with an inner fire burning in his eyes.

Chen Bin, unfazed, stared back straight at him.

In an instant, the entire meeting room fell into dead silence.

No one dared to speak, fearing they might draw trouble to themselves.

The standoff lasted for about a dozen seconds before Dou Bi, unable to hold on, turned his head to the side first.

Chen Bin kept a stern face and spoke again.

"In the place I'm in charge, you dare to throw tantrums at me. You really don't know your limits! If the planning process in Tianhe is delayed, you, Dou Bi, would be the biggest sinner!"

Immediately after, he assigned Yu Xinzhou, the district head of New Port, to handle the work Dou Bi failed to complete.

Yu Xinzhou frowned, clearly reluctant to take on this hot potato.

But to keep his position, he had no choice but to agree.

Dou Bi was a member of the Municipal Standing Committee, and changes to his position required discussion in the standing committee. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

However, since Chen Bin had spoken, the outcome was more or less decided.

A day later, at the municipal standing committee meeting, after discussing other matters, Chen Bin proactively brought up the issue regarding Dou Bi.

"Dou Bi, the New Port District Party Secretary, is derelict in his duty, causing delays in demolition progress. I believe he is no longer suitable to continue in his position. What do you all think?"

His words were immediately met with strong opposition from Dou Bi.

"Apart from the demolition, what have I done wrong before? Why would you judge me for dereliction because of this?"

Unwilling to waste words, Chen Bin directly stated.

"I believe Dou Bi is no longer suitable to be the New Port District Party Secretary. Those who agree, raise your hands!"

Among the eleven members of the municipal standing committee, Chen Bin was stunned when the votes were counted.

Surprisingly, six people hadn't raised their hands, something unprecedented since he took power.

Seeing this scene, Chen Bin's faction was taken aback.

Could it be that Tianhe's sky would change back again?

Frowning slightly, Chen Bin turned to Chi Chunhua, using his eyes to ask what was happening.

Lowering her head, she dared not speak.

Dou Bi, noticing this, smirked smugly.

At this point, Gan Qiu spoke up.

"It seems most people can see clearly, so let's allow Comrade Dou Bi to continue serving as the New Port District Party Secretary."

Chen Bin was already displeased after losing face at the last meeting.

Now encountering this situation again, his mood turned even sourer.

Upon returning to his office, he heavily slammed the folder on his desk.

Before he could vent his anger, a knock came on the door.

Shortly after, Chi Chunhua cautiously entered.

Seeing her, the fury that had nowhere to go erupted from Chen Bin.

"Well done! Have you really made yourself a fence-sitter? Tell me, what did Gan Qiu use to buy you back?!"

Deeply sighing, Chi Chunhua appeared helpless.

"Secretary Chen, I... I really have my difficulties."

"What? Do you have some leverage that Gan Qiu holds over you?"

Chi Chunhua nodded, "If I don't follow his orders this time, I'll lose my position."

With a cold snort, Chen Bin questioned.

"So, in your view, offending me is better to keep your position?"

Chi Chunhua, with no other choice, answered pitifully.

"Secretary Chen, why don't you transfer me out of Tianhe? Then you can fill my position with your person to continue controlling the standing committee."

This puzzled Chen Bin greatly. What leverage did Gan Qiu have on Chi Chunhua that scared her to the point of wanting to leave Tianhe?

He sighed deeply, waving her away.

"Leave; I'll think over this matter."

Not long after Chi Chunhua left, Yu Xinzhou, the New Port District head, arrived.

"Secretary Chen, I think we could hand over the condiment factory land to someone else. That way, all issues would be resolved."

"Who do you plan to hand it over to?"

"Tianhe Leisure Group."

This surprised Chen Bin, "Has someone from there approached you?"

"Yes. Tianhe Leisure Group is a local enterprise that has contributed a lot to Tianhe over the years. As the saying goes, keep the fat in the family; good things should be shared with enterprises closer to us."

"And what about the fifteen billion for relocation housing? How do they plan to deal with that?"

"They didn't mention that, but I think there's no need to inquire too deeply, as long as the problem gets solved."

"Alright then, let me think about it."

Involving Tianhe Leisure Group, Chen Bin sensed something fishy about the matter.

Not wanting to alert anyone, he didn't hastily reject Yu Xinzhou's idea.

After sending him away, he called Cheng Zhuang, asking him to investigate the attitude of the condiment factory workers towards the demolition.

That night, Cheng Zhuang brought a recording to Chen Bin.

After listening, Chen Bin's smile gradually turned cold.

"There is indeed something fishy here..."
