The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 159: Get Rid of Chen Bin

A few days later, after going through the formalities at the Standing Committee meeting, Yang Lin was officially appointed as the secretary of the County Committee in Qingshi County.

Xu Ruoxuan was appointed as the deputy secretary of the County Committee and acting County Magistrate.

In less than a month, the two of them had seamlessly transformed into the top leaders of Qingshi County.

The speed of their promotions left many people utterly stunned.

Although Chen Bin held a position with the rank of a full section chief, he was ultimately just a nominal Senior Staff Member.

His job transfer didn’t require a meeting or a discussion among the leaders.

With just one sentence from Xu Ruoxuan, Chen Bin was successfully transferred to the County Government.

When Yang Lin learned of this, he was both regretful and furious.

He regretted not contacting Chen Bin promptly after Wang Jun’s death.

After all, everyone recognized Chen Bin’s talents. If Chen Bin worked as his secretary, things would be much easier in the future, no matter the task.

What made him angry was that Xu Ruoxuan transferred Chen Bin away without even consulting him.

Even though Chen Bin wasn’t a leader, he was still a full section-level cadre.

To transfer him without a discussion was blatantly dismissive of him as the County Committee secretary!

However, thinking it over, it made sense for Chen Bin to work as Xu Ruoxuan’s secretary.

After all, their relationship had always been unusual, and with Chen Bin’s strong abilities, it was much easier for Xu Ruoxuan to recruit him.

Even though Yang Lin was eager to cause trouble for Xu Ruoxuan, he had to accept reality, knowing she had a father who was a deputy secretary of the Tianhai Municipal Committee.

Meanwhile, as everything seemed to be moving in the right direction, Feng Huzhou and Xu Tai were plotting something major in an office.

Noticing Feng Huzhou’s dark expression, Xu Tai took the initiative, measured yet respectful, and asked.

"Secretary Feng, what do you need from me?"

Feng Huzhou stared sternly at Xu Tai.

"Do you want Ruoxuan and Xiao Lei to remarry? Ruoxuan has a long road ahead. If she continues with Xiao Lei, I can still offer my support."

Xu Tai initially wanted to refuse outright.

But knowing Feng Huzhou’s considerable influence, he found himself hesitating.

"They have a child together, so of course, I hope for harmony within their family. But I’m old now and can’t control Ruoxuan’s affairs..."

"Actually, the biggest obstacle to their remarriage is Chen Bin. As long as you take care of Chen Bin, there won’t be an issue."

Xu Tai frowned slightly, looking puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Xu Ruoxuan and Chen Bin have already become involved with each other—you didn’t even know?"

"They’re sworn siblings, how could they possibly do such a thing? Who told you this?"

"Xiao Lei saw it with his own eyes a few days ago; there’s no mistake. But even so, it hasn’t affected Xiao Lei’s desire to remarry Ruoxuan. You’ll need to step in and address Chen Bin first."

To Xu Tai, Chen Bin was undoubtedly a real talent.

To be fair, he would even be fine with Ruoxuan marrying Chen Bin.

But the Feng family’s influence was simply too formidable, and climbing higher in life rarely offered many opportunities.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tai asked, "What do you propose we do?"

"Transfer Chen Bin out of Qingshi County. Keep him away from Ruoxuan’s life."

On the road back to the Tianhai Municipal Committee, Xu Tai closed his eyes, his mind in turmoil.

He could hardly believe that Xu Ruoxuan and Chen Bin were involved in such a way.

Moreover, Ruoxuan was at a critical point in her political career and needed to rely on Chen Bin to advance quickly.

Asking him to transfer Chen Bin out at such a crucial moment seemed like an enormous setback.

After wrestling with this decision for an entire day, Xu Tai finally called Chen Bin after getting off work in the evening.

"Come to my house right away, but you must come alone. Don’t tell your sister."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Bin was left puzzled.

What could be so urgent that Xu Tai needed to see him?

And why couldn’t he tell Xu Ruoxuan?

With no clues to go on, he gathered his courage and took a cab straight to Xu Tai’s house.

When he arrived, the dining table was already set with an array of dishes.

Just as Chen Bin was about to speak, Xu Tai spoke first.

"Let’s eat first. Whatever it is, we’ll talk after dinner."

During the meal, Chen Bin noticed Xu Tai’s continually furrowed brow.

This instantly made him more vigilant.

Sure enough, after dinner, the two walked into the study.

Xu Tai cut straight to the point and asked, "You’re made for leadership. Have you ever considered running your own operation?"

"Well... I’ve certainly thought about it, but I’m still too young. I need a few more years of experience first."

"I think you’re young but fully capable of leading. You should get out there and gain some experience."

At that moment, Chen Bin finally caught on.

It seemed Xu Tai intended to move him out of Qingshi County.

Startled, he quickly stood up and asked nervously.

"Did I do something wrong?"

Xu Tai, however, waved his hand with a smile, signaling Chen Bin to sit back down.

"You’ve done nothing wrong. I simply think you’re a major talent, and it’s a waste for you to work as a secretary. The sooner you go out and gain experience, the faster you’ll mature."

"But what about my sister?"

"That’s not your concern. I have other plans for her."

Since the conversation had reached this point, Chen Bin realized Xu Tai was resolute in having him leave.

He asked, "So where do you plan to send me?"

"There’s a vacancy for the top position in Qinghe Town, Dragon Mountain County."

Upon hearing "Dragon Mountain County," Chen Bin felt his heart sink; he was immediately overwhelmed.

Dragon Mountain County was the poorest county in Tianhai, far from the city center.

By car, the journey was over an hour long.

Thinking about Zhao Xinmei, who was still pregnant, Chen Bin couldn’t help but ask.

"Can I not go? Working as my sister’s secretary is actually pretty good."

"It’s part of every cadre’s growth to work in different places. Dragon Mountain County is just over a hundred kilometers from the city; it won’t stop you from coming back to Tianhai for the weekends."

Seeing that Chen Bin seemed uneasy, Xu Tai added.

"I know you’re reluctant to leave Qingshi County, but the sooner you go out and gain experience, the higher you’ll climb in the future. Once you achieve great results in Qinghe Town, it’ll be easier for me to transfer you back to Tianhai."

For Xu Tai, the decision to transfer Chen Bin was undeniably difficult.

But to leverage Feng Huzhou’s power, he had no other choice.

Furthermore, he agreed that Chen Bin was indeed a major talent; gaining more field experience would benefit him.

As for Qinghe Town, Xu Tai had carefully considered it.

Its poverty meant opportunities to achieve tangible results were abundant.

If Chen Bin truly had the capability, his contributions there wouldn’t go unnoticed.

Since Xu Tai had already made up his mind, Chen Bin had no choice but to nod.

"Alright, once I get there, I’ll work hard and live up to your expectations."

After that, the two chatted casually for a while before Chen Bin got up to leave.

As he was leaving, Xu Tai specifically reminded him.

"The procedures to transfer you to Qinghe Town should be finalized within the next two days, but until the official order arrives, don’t mention it to anyone—especially your sister."

Noticing how Xu Tai kept emphasizing Xu Ruoxuan, Chen Bin suddenly felt something wasn’t right.

Could his transfer out of Qingshi County have something to do with Xu Ruoxuan?

With this thought in mind, Chen Bin didn’t ask further questions.

He nodded and left directly.

Back in Qingshi County, he immediately went to knock on Xu Ruoxuan’s dormitory door...
