The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 221: What Exactly Is Your Relationship With Her?

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: What Exactly Is Your Relationship With Her?

Because things dragged on too late that night, by the end of it, Ding Zi was already somewhat exhausted.

Chen Bin had no choice but to let her stay over.

The next morning, as soon as he woke up, Chen Bin also immediately woke up Ding Zi.

He told her in passing, "Today will be quite busy. Your main task is to ensure the work of those four journalists; you don’t need to worry about anything else."

Ding Zi only felt sore all over, didn’t say anything, and just nodded slightly.

After breakfast, Chen Bin went straight to the town government office.

At this moment, the place was already packed with people, and it took him a great deal of effort to squeeze his way in.

In the courtyard of the town government, a temporary stage had been set up, where Jiang Huai stood with a loudspeaker, addressing the crowd.

"Fellow villagers, please follow the instructions I just mentioned and line up in an orderly manner. If you continue with this chaos, it will only waste time..."

Since someone was handling things, Chen Bin didn’t bother to stir up trouble.

Standing by the window of his office, he looked out at the sea of people below.

There were at least twenty thousand of them, if not more.

Fortunately, the town government’s courtyard was large enough; otherwise, it might not have been able to accommodate such a crowd.

It was only after the villagers had lined up according to their respective conditions that Chen Bin made a call to the guesthouse.

He asked the recruiting employers to come over together.

Due to the sheer scale of this recruitment event, it took a full three days to wrap up.

In total, nearly twenty thousand people were hired.

The labor contracts for all these people were signed on their behalf by the town government.

If any issues arose, the villagers could directly approach the town government.

In this way, the villagers’ property and safety could be protected to a great extent.

On the afternoon of the third day, the four journalists from the city newspaper gathered together and suggested doing an exclusive interview with Chen Bin.

For such an opportunity to be in the spotlight, Chen Bin naturally did not refuse.

The interview lasted for more than an hour, during which Chen Bin answered nearly every question.

When he spoke, he knew what to say truthfully and what to embellish.

By the end, the outcome had left everyone quite satisfied.

That evening, Chen Bin originally wanted to have the journalists stay one more night.

But they refused, saying they had to rush back to the city to meet deadlines.

Since it was work-related, Chen Bin did not insist on keeping them.

Immediately afterward, he arranged another banquet to bid farewell to the recruiting employers.

During the feast, the drinks flowed freely, and everyone chatted happily.

When Chen Bin asked the employers if they were satisfied with the recruitment process, most of them expressed their approval.

Only one employer frowned, looking a bit dissatisfied.

After some discussion, Chen Bin finally understood the issue.

The employer ran a furniture factory, and most of the people he recruited this time turned out to be unskilled laborers.

When it came to skilled workers like carpenters, he hadn’t managed to hire even one.

Faced with this problem, Chen Bin immediately turned to Wei Kai.

"Do we have skilled carpenters in the town?"

Wei Kai replied, "Of course we do! It’s just that most of them are older and don’t meet these employers’ hiring criteria."

The employer, upon hearing this, slapped his forehead in frustration.

"Ah, that’s on me. I shouldn’t have listed carpentry separately as a qualification."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Chen Bin.

"Secretary Chen, you might not know this, but having a trade skill is quite valuable these days. In our factory, we have an experienced craftsman earning fifteen thousand yuan a month, with food and lodging provided. It’s much more than farming."

At this moment, Chen Bin felt like a lightbulb had gone off in his head.

A host of new ideas quickly began to take shape in his mind.

The next day, all the recruiting employers bid farewell to the town.

Chen Bin, however, pulled Pan Hao aside and asked quietly, "Can’t you stay a few more days?"

Pan Hao shook his head, looking hesitant.

"I’m very busy at the moment; the factory can’t go without someone overseeing things."

"Alright then. This time, I really have to thank you!"

Chen Bin patted Pan Hao’s shoulder, his tone full of gratitude.

However, Pan Hao grabbed him and led him to a secluded corner.

"Let me tell you one more time—if you really like Cai Lixia, then treat her well. If you’re just fooling around, don’t get involved. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!"

Nodding, Chen Bin responded with a smile.

"Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing."

After bidding farewell to Pan Hao, Chen Bin returned to his office. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

He then approached Jiang Huai and asked him to come up with a plan.

He instructed that the newly recruited workers should be sent to Shanghai in batches, ensuring that no mishaps occurred along the way.

By the evening, just before the end of the workday, Wei Kai brought the latest issue of *Tianhai Evening News* to Chen Bin’s office.

The front page featured an article about Qinghe Town actively helping villagers find employment.

It also included the exclusive interview with Chen Bin.

Seeing this, Chen Bin felt immensely pleased.

On Friday afternoon, Chen Bin planned to leave work early to spend time with Zhao Xinmei at home.

However, just as he was about to leave, his office door was suddenly knocked on.

To his surprise, it was Jiang Huai who walked in.

"Secretary Chen, there are two men from the county public security bureau who want to see you."

"Did they say what it’s about?"

Chen Bin was eager to go home and didn’t want to waste time.

Before Jiang Huai could answer, the office door was pushed open again, and two men in police uniforms walked in.

One of them was none other than Ye Pei.

"Kid, do you remember me?"

Seeing Jiang Huai about to pour water for the visitors, Chen Bin waved him off immediately.

"You can leave now. I’ll call you if I need anything."

Without saying more, Jiang Huai turned and left.

Chen Bin glared at Ye Pei with a blank expression and asked, "What do you want with me?"

Without mincing words, Ye Pei demanded, "What’s your relationship with Cai Lixia?"

Chen Bin didn’t answer but countered, "What relationship I have with her is none of your business."

"Damn it, you’d better come clean, or I’ll make sure you regret it!"

Ever since their last encounter, Ye Pei had thought Chen Bin was just someone Cai Lixia had casually brought in as a shield.

It wasn’t until he made a call to Lu Huisheng that he found out Chen Bin and Cai Lixia were actually dating.

After plotting for some time, Ye Pei decided to confront Chen Bin today.

Chen Bin sneered, his face dark, as he replied.

"I haven’t done anything wrong. What gives you the right to talk to me like that?"

"I’ll ask one more time: are you going to talk or not? If not, I’ll lock you up on the spot!"

Angered, Chen Bin slammed his hand on the desk.

"Let me tell you, even if I had done something wrong, not even your boss would have the authority to arrest me. Who do you think you are?"

Ye Pei had only intended to scare Chen Bin into staying away from Cai Lixia.

He hadn’t expected to end up embarrassing himself instead.

Staring daggers at Chen Bin, Ye Pei hissed viciously.

"Chen, just you wait! I won’t let this slide!"

With that, he stormed out.

Furious, Chen Bin immediately called Jiang Huai.

"From now on, anyone looking for me has to wait on the first floor—police included. No one is allowed upstairs without my permission. Got it?"

Jiang Huai quickly replied, "Understood, Secretary Chen. I’ll handle it going forward."

After hanging up, Chen Bin sat in his chair, replaying the scene with Ye Pei in his mind. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

He resolved that when the opportunity arose, he would make sure to teach this privileged troublemaker a lesson...
