In the office, besides Ye Hong, Deputy Magistrate Fang Quanjie was also seated.

Upon seeing them, Chen Bin immediately greeted them.

"County Magistrate Ye, Deputy Magistrate Fang."

Fang Quanjie already looked very displeased, and upon seeing Chen Bin’s sudden appearance, he was so angry that he began trembling.

With a cold snort, he turned and left without a word.

Chen Bin was well aware that with his promotion, he was effectively taking Fang Quanjie’s position.

Fang’s anger was therefore quite understandable.

However, he still pretended to be puzzled and looked toward Ye Hong.

"What’s wrong with Deputy Magistrate Fang? He looks a bit unwell."

Ye Hong also had a stony expression, though his chubby face was plastered with a smile.

"Indeed, I just persuaded him to take some medicine. It shouldn’t be a big deal. By the way, what brings you here?"

"Secretary Xue just informed me that I’ll be transferred to work at the county. I thought I’d stop by to say hello and see if you have any guidance for me."

"I had originally planned to talk to you tomorrow after the official nomination during the standing committee meeting. I didn’t expect him to get to you first. As expected of the one in charge—always so quick to act."

Ye Hong gave a cynical complaint before gradually dropping his smile.

"With your capabilities, I’m naturally reassured. However, balancing the work at Qinghe Town along with your new role will make things quite busy. I hope you’ll handle both sides well moving forward."

"Thank you, County Magistrate Ye, for the reminder. I’m still young and have much to learn. I hope County Magistrate Ye will guide me more in the future."

Ye Hong nodded and responded insincerely, "Colleagues should help each other. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me anytime."

"Thank you, County Magistrate Ye."

With those words, Chen Bin turned and took his leave.

When the office door closed, Ye Hong could no longer contain his fury and struck his desk with a clenched fist.

Chen Bin becoming Deputy Magistrate was, in Ye Hong’s eyes, a grave mistake.

Ye Hong had reached his current position as County Magistrate of Dragon Mountain largely thanks to Fang Quanjie’s support.

Privately, the two even referred to each other as brothers.

Now, with Chen Bin taking over as Deputy Magistrate and effectively replacing Fang Quanjie, Ye Hong felt Xue Baoguang was targeting him deliberately.

Moreover, after Chen Bin’s promotion, he was also appointed as the top official of Qinghe Town, leaving no room for Lu Huisheng to step in.

In the county’s various agencies, every post was a tightly contested spot—removing or replacing anyone would inevitably offend someone.

Positions with more perks were watched by many with keen interest, making it exceedingly difficult to back someone like Lu Huisheng for promotion.

And then there was Xue Baoguang—despite already having Cao Sanjin’s endorsement, he still insisted on putting on a show with a meeting.

If Xue decided to escalate matters and report him, how would Ye Hong maintain his standing?

That being said, Ye Hong resolved that when dealing with Chen Bin moving forward, he would stick to the principle of remaining passive.

As long as Chen Bin treated him with respect, he would reciprocate cordially.

But if Chen Bin dared to confront him, he would be prepared to resort to countermeasures!

The next day, during the county’s standing committee meeting, Chen Bin was officially nominated as the candidate for Deputy Magistrate.

When news of this reached Qinghe Town, Lu Huisheng found it hard to accept.

It wasn’t until he called Ye Hong and learned that Chen Bin had not only become Dragon Mountain County’s Deputy Magistrate but would also continue serving as Qinghe Town’s top official that he was nearly in tears.

Lu Huisheng agonized over why his luck was so terrible, leaving him perpetually overshadowed by Chen Bin.

That evening, Wei Kai hosted a celebratory gathering at Qinghe Restaurant.

Chen Bin and the others drank heartily, and the atmosphere was boisterous.

Amid everyone’s congratulations, Chen Bin couldn’t help but feel a wave of pride.

Before he knew it, he had drunk far too much.

After dinner, with Cai Lixia supporting him, the two made their way toward the guest house.

Catching a faint whiff of her fragrance, Chen Bin instinctively let his hands wander over her petite frame.

This left Cai Lixia blushing fiercely.

"Hey, stop that!"

With a drunken grin, Chen Bin replied, "Nope! How dare you be so adorable!"

Cai Lixia initially wanted to resist but was afraid Chen Bin might fall over.

She had no choice but to endure her discomfort and, after helping him back to his room, quickly made her escape.

As Chen Bin was walking toward his room, he passed by He Beibei’s door.

For reasons unclear even to himself, he opened the door and walked in.

He Beibei, who was studying late every night to prepare for exams, turned her head when she heard noise at the door.

Stretching lazily, she looked at Chen Bin and said, "I thought you wouldn’t stop by tonight."

Sitting down beside He Beibei, Chen Bin noticed her hair was still slightly damp.

It seemed she had just taken a shower not long ago.

She was wearing a white blouse on top and a short skirt below.

Perhaps because she hadn’t dried completely, her shirt clung to her body, revealing the faint trace of an alluring cleavage.

Smelling the alcohol on Chen Bin, He Beibei wrinkled her nose slightly.

"Big hero, you should cut down on the drinking. It’s bad for your health."

She then got up and brought him some cherry tomatoes.

"Here, eat some fruit to refresh yourself."

Chen Bin picked one up, popped it into his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You’re still the best to me."

Hearing this, He Beibei’s cheeks flushed, and she sat on the bed with a shy smile.

As she sat down and absentmindedly parted her legs, a good portion of her pale, smooth thighs was exposed.

Through the gap between her legs, Chen Bin even caught a glimpse of her pink panties.

Faced with such an enticing view, Chen Bin’s breathing grew heavier.

Alone together in the room, the atmosphere grew more and more intimate.

Suppressing the surge of desire within him, Chen Bin picked up the fruit tray and smiled as he sat down beside He Beibei.

"Here, you should have some too."

As he spoke, his knee lightly brushed against He Beibei’s exposed leg.

The soft, silky sensation was utterly captivating.

He Beibei seemed to notice Chen Bin’s movement, and her face turned a deeper shade of red.

But assuming it was unintentional, she didn’t move her leg away.

"Hmph, now you finally appreciate me? Say you like me, and I, the great Beibei, will forgive you for ignoring me before."

As she spoke, He Beibei looked up at Chen Bin.

Their eyes met, and the air in the room seemed to grow warm and sticky.

At that moment, she realized just how close she and Chen Bin were.

Instinctively, she wanted to step back but found herself reluctant to move.

She enjoyed the feeling of being around Chen Bin.

It made her feel safe, and it was genuinely comforting.

Chen Bin, on the other hand, felt a rush of heat in his chest. He slowly reached out and wrapped an arm around He Beibei’s slender waist.

Feeling his warmth, she trembled in surprise.

Biting her lip gently, she shyly turned her head away, looking nervous.

Seeing that He Beibei didn’t resist, Chen Bin tightened his arm slightly, pulling her into his embrace.

With a slightly hoarse voice, he whispered, "Beibei, I like you!"
