The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 824: Jingshang Taiyi’s Secret

That evening, in the VIP lounge of the Emperor Club.

Gan Qiu was smoking a cigar and glanced at Ran Qizhi across from him.

"Did you hear about Ouyang Tianxiong's mistress getting into trouble?"

Ran Qizhi blew out a smoke ring and shook his head.

"Jian Xiulian? What kind of antics is she up to this time?"

"She smashed Chen Bin's car during the day."

Ran Qizhi was taken aback by this, "Really? There's such a thing?"

"Yeah, Jian Xiulian had a little conflict with one of Chen Bin's friends, and she directly ordered someone to smash the car, which was Chen Bin's car at the time."

"No wonder Ouyang Tianxiong was so enthusiastic earlier, turns out he wanted your help."

Gan Qiu snorted, full of disdain.

"I can't help with this, after all, I won't be part of something so disgraceful."

Nodding, Ran Qizhi sighed.

"Jian Xiulian deserves it though, she usually acts so arrogantly, it's only right she learns a lesson."

"As long as things don't escalate, that's fine, otherwise we'll have to clean up the mess for them. People like him who come from rural backgrounds always act recklessly, we have to think long-term."

"That's true, Chen Bin is always stirring up trouble, if Ouyang Tianxiong goes against him, he might pay the ultimate price."

Nodding, Gan Qiu suddenly asked.

"By the way, didn't Chen Bin say something about new employment standards? Have you heard anything about it recently?"

"I don't know, haven't heard anything significant."

"Then you should ask him about it tomorrow. He may not be in a hurry, but those who want to move up are very anxious."

The next morning, after starting work, Ran Qizhi went to Chen Bin's office.

"Secretary Chen, have you finalized the new employment standards? Those departments can't be left leaderless for too long."

Chen Bin replied, "If all goes well, it should be ready by next week, then we'll need to discuss it at the Standing Committee meeting."

"Alright, in that case, I'll take my leave."

Just as Ran Qizhi was about to turn and leave, Chen Bin suddenly asked, "Is your daughter's name Ran Wanchun?"

"Yes, does Secretary Chen know her?"

To Ran Qizhi, it was very normal for Chen Bin to know about his family situation.

After all, this basic information is registered; it's available for anyone to check.

"I don't know her, I just think she sings pretty well. If she can place in the top three in a major competition, she might become famous. I have many friends at Yanxi Station, helping her gain fame wouldn't be too difficult."

With a sneer in his heart, Ran Qizhi couldn't care less about this.

He never expected Chen Bin's way of wooing him to be so lowbrow.

"Well… thanks, Secretary Chen, I'll have to ask Wanchun about this."

"No problem, you can tell her that if she becomes famous at Yanxi Station, I can even recommend her to the National TV Station's Spring Festival Gala."

"Secretary Chen knows people at the National TV Station?"

"Pretty much, I have quite a few friends."

Ran Qizhi had no doubts about this.

After all, with Chen Bin being so young and already a member of the Provincial Committee, it would be unusual if he didn't have connections.

As the City Party Secretary, Chen Bin had to work during office hours, so he didn't accompany Jingshang Taiyi and Wei Bailu much for outings.

To make it up to them, he decided to go to Lion King Mountain with them over the weekend.

When they parked at the foot of the mountain, Chen Bin saw that familiar figure again.

"Oh, isn't this the famous Secretary Chen? What a coincidence, are you here for a hike too?"

Perhaps because of the hike, Ouyang Haitang's attire was not as revealing as before.

She wore sportswear, adding a touch of innocence to her look.

With her rainbow-colored hair, she gave off an exotic beauty.

Chen Bin replied with a smile, "Meeting again means we're fated. You're so familiar with Lion King Mountain, you must give my two friends a proper introduction." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Nodding, Ouyang Haitang stepped forward and shook hands with Wei Bailu and Jingshang Taiyi respectively.

"Hello, we meet again."

Since Ouyang Haitang had been willing to stand up last time, Wei Bailu had a good impression of her.

She immediately responded with a smile, "Hello, it seems we're truly fated."

After a brief exchange, they started their hike.

While climbing, Ouyang Haitang gave a detailed introduction to Lion King Mountain.

Since Jingshang Taiyi couldn't understand, Chen Bin played the role of a temporary translator.

At this moment, Ouyang Haitang became even more curious about this man in front of her.

She suddenly realized, apart from lacking a bit of manliness, he was quite outstanding in other areas.

Reaching the summit and looking at the distant scenery, Wei Bailu appeared very happy.

She dared not be too intimate with Chen Bin, so she took out her phone and asked Ouyang Haitang to take pictures of her.

Chen Bin seized the opportunity to ask Jingshang Taiyi, "What do you think of Bailu?"

"She's great, smart and kind-hearted, I really like her."

In fact, from the first time Jingshang Taiyi laid eyes on Wei Bailu, he had a fondness for her.

With their interactions over the past few days, his affection for this girl had only grown.

Chen Bin nodded and tentatively asked.

"If you really like her, how about I help you two get together?"

After some thought, Jingshang Taiyi still shook his head to refuse.

This surprised Chen Bin, "Don't you like her? Or are you just playing around?"

"Not at all, it's mainly because…"

Jingshang Taiyi glanced at Wei Bailu taking photos from afar and whispered, "Because I'm infertile."

"What?!"

Eyes wide open, Chen Bin stared at him, filled with astonishment.

Jingshang Taiyi assumed he was angry and hurriedly explained.

"Our Jingshang family has a rule for pure lineage, ancestor decrees that we cannot marry those without blood ties. My genes have a problem, so that part of me has remained the size it was at five years old."

Chen Bin had heard that the Japanese emperors favored inbreeding.

He never imagined that the Jingshang family would have such a rule as well.

"Since you can't marry outside, why say you like Wei Bailu?"

"Because in my generation, there are very few females related to me by blood. The cousin originally betrothed to me has already married my brother. Since I can't have children, it doesn't matter who I marry."

"Don't you want children in the future?"

Clearing his throat, Jingshang Taiyi looked a bit embarrassed.

But after hesitating, he gritted his teeth and said.

"Of course, I want children, but that depends on my wife's decision. If she wants to do IVF, then IVF it is. If she wants to have children with another man, then so be it, as long as the child takes my surname later."

This statement left Chen Bin dumbfounded, prompting him to ask.

"Wouldn't you be angry if your wife has a child with another man?"

Jingshang Taiyi looked perplexed, "Why should I be angry? Since I don't have the function, what's wrong if she seeks enjoyment elsewhere?"

Seeing his righteous demeanor, Chen Bin was momentarily speechless.

But this was a relief; as long as Wei Bailu wouldn't be mistreated if she married into the family.

He continued, "I could convince Bailu to marry you, but since she's my goddaughter, if you end up with her, then..."

Before Chen Bin could finish, Jingshang Taiyi knelt to the ground with a thud.

"Godfather!"
