The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 887 - 889: Be Careful with This Nanny!

At this moment, Chen Bin had no mood to contend with Bao Kanglu. After finding his seat and sitting down, he hung his head silently.

Before long, Cheng Liusha and Liao Jiangming entered one after another.

Upon seeing Chen Bin, they didn't say much.

When the meeting officially started, everyone discussed several important matters of the Standing Committee.

It wasn't until the end that Cheng Liusha mentioned the forced demolition incident in Tianhe last night.

"With urbanization progressing, many cities are undergoing large-scale demolition and construction. Social issues caused by demolitions have always been the focus of public opinion. How does everyone think we should avoid forced demolitions?"

Bao Kanglu was the first to speak, "In my view, demolition is not a difficult matter; as long as you have the capability, you can solve it. I just can't understand why such a severe incident happened in Tianhe?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"What Secretary Bao said is very correct..."

At this point, quite a few people began to chime in, belittling Chen Bin as worthless.

Clearly unwilling to take such humiliation, Chen Bin spoke in a cold voice.

"The problems with Tianhe's demolition fall partly on me as the leader. But if we want to develop, we must boldly proceed with construction."

With a cold snort, Bao Kanglu was not intimidated in the slightest.

"Will construction cause fatalities? Look at what you've done in Tianhe, that's forced demolition leading to death. How will the people trust the government in the future?"

Chen Bin, with a firm tone, replied, "Demolition isn't wrong; the wrong lies with some people who are insatiable. I will avoid similar incidents in the future, but Tianhe will not stop its demolition pace due to this incident."

"So you think there aren't enough deaths?"

Faced with Bao Kanglu's sarcastic taunt, Chen Bin's expression remained serious.

"Those holdouts only consider personal interests, while I need to consider the overall interests of the millions of people in Tianhe. To abandon Tianhe's grand plan for development for a small group of people, that is true foolishness!"

Bao Kanglu was at a loss for words, turning his head aside, no longer speaking.

Seeing this, Cheng Liusha continued to ask, "Does anyone else want to speak?"

"I'll say a few words!"

Proactively joining in, Liao Jiangming said, "If demolition could proceed smoothly, no one would choose forced demolition. Cases of forced demolitions leading to death have happened frequently in the past two years. Who would feel good about it? I think we shouldn't make things difficult for Secretary Chen."

Nodding in agreement, Cheng Liusha expressed approval.

"Governor Liao is right; Tianhe is currently at a critical stage of development. Even with fatalities, we can't delay the pace of urban development. Secretary Chen is skilled at economic development; I believe he is a good cadre."

After the meeting ended, Chen Bin went to Cheng Liusha's office.

After Cheng Liusha arranged for him to sit, he asked proactively, "You don't look well; you probably didn't sleep well last night, right?"

"It's okay, I'm just someone who doesn't sleep much."

Though speaking lightly, Chen Bin's complexion still looked somewhat poor.

"You've faced many challenges; this shouldn't knock you down, right?"

"Certainly not; I'm just worried you and Governor Liao will feel pressured."

"There is pressure, but we can still handle it."

At this point, Cheng Liusha suddenly shifted the subject.

"I'll tell you something; I might leave Yanxi next year."

This statement made Chen Bin's heart skip a beat, even causing his hand to tremble momentarily.

"Where will you go?"

"If nothing goes wrong, I'll enter the Politburo, becoming Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee and Minister of Public Security."

"That's quite a promotion; congratulations. But if you go to the Imperial Capital, the Provincial Committee Secretary position will likely go to Governor Liao, right?"

For Chen Bin, Liao Jiangming moving to the Imperial Capital means less help for him.

Now, the most pressing matter is to figure out who will become Yanxi's next leader.

"He came to Tianhai to wait for me to leave and take over; now it's uncertain who his position will go to."

"What are they thinking above?"

"I can't say for sure; the competition is quite fierce. I've heard the Xiong family wants Bao Kanglu to take over since he's the Deputy Secretary. Taking over as Governor seems justified. But I still hope you'll become Governor."

"Me?"

With wide eyes, Chen Bin's face bore a look of surprise.

Cheng Liusha seriously nodded, "Other than age, Bao Kanglu can't compare to you at all. However, the incident in Tianhe last night may be unfavorable for your gubernatorial bid."

After contemplating, Chen Bin replied.

"Every official wants to climb the ranks. The situation in Tianhe is indeed special. Whether or not I become Governor won't affect me serving the people, but in Yanxi, I truly do not want to see Bao Kanglu in power."

Nodding, Cheng Liusha spoke with deep implication.

"Honestly, in my heart, I also don't want Bao Kanglu to become Governor. He has ill intentions and is willing to serve the Xiong family. Such people like to sow division and engage in factionalism, which would hold back Yanxi's progress."

"Actually, dealing with him isn't difficult. He's closely connected with Gan Qiu and is likely involved in shady dealings. Once I've handled the forced demolition issue, I'll carefully consider how to deal with Bao Kanglu."

After finishing their conversation, Chen Bin took a car back to Tianhe.

Just upon returning to the villa, he received a call from Ouyang Haitang.

"Secretary Chen, can you come to my place for dinner tonight? Since you saved me last time, we haven't properly met. Please let me thank you, I'm begging you."

Ouyang Haitang's sweet voice sounded like a young girl playfully cajoling her boyfriend.

Chen Bin felt a soft spot in his heart and agreed.

"Alright, send me your location."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Haitang was quite happy.

She quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go buy groceries now."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Bin suddenly noticed that the laptop on his desk was in a half-open, half-closed state.

This scene made him frown slightly, feeling a bit surprised.

Because he always either completely closed it or fully opened it, never leaving it half-open.

Who used this computer?

Chen Bin immediately pushed the screen to a ninety-degree angle and found that the computer was still in standby mode.

When he opened the screen, he found a webpage left open with a logged-in short video account.

And most shockingly, the account's name was "Minmin"!

Chen Bin even suspected he was mistaken, rubbing his eyes, but realized it was indeed the account he wanted to find.

He never expected that Gan Qiu's minion would run into his house and even log into his computer to post videos.

But after thinking more carefully, he found it unlikely.

After all, he was the City Party Secretary, who could slip in so easily?

The only person who could routinely access his computer without arousing suspicion seemed to be Ji Ruyi!

In a trance, Chen Bin recalled Cheng Zhuang's previous words.

"Beware of this housekeeper!"

Considering that Ji Ruyi might be the woman Liao Jiangming was relentlessly searching for, Chen Bin's brows furrowed more deeply.

If Ji Ruyi is indeed Gan Qiu's minion, there's really not much he can do against her...
