Seeing the situation, Chen Bin immediately started analyzing in detail.
"When something like this happens, your marriage to Secretary Cheng will become nominal, and continuing it will have no meaning. Besides, if you get divorced, it will greatly benefit your career."
Upon hearing this, Zha Qiuling's eyes immediately lit up.
"What benefits?"
"Your career is just starting to take off. If you don't get a divorce and push Secretary Cheng to the edge, and he releases the video online, it will all be over. Without your reputation, who would buy your designed clothes?"
With a deep sigh, Zha Qiuling didn't respond.
Chen Bin continued, "As long as you agree to the divorce, I will continue to help promote your fashion designs. I'm in the officialdom; Secretary Cheng entrusted me with such a big thing for me to handle, there are also great benefits in it."
Even though Chen Bin's words made sense, Zha Qiuling stubbornly raised her head.
Originally, she didn't want to marry Cheng Liusha, but she couldn't resist Cheng Liusha's various means, so Zha Qiuling was forced to compromise.
After marrying this man, who was more than twenty years older than her, Zha Qiuling felt like she had fallen into hell.
On the surface, everything seemed glamorous, but at home, she couldn't enjoy any joys of being a woman.
To deliberately disgust Cheng Liusha, Zha Qiuling purposely created trouble outside.
Over time, she developed her current arrogant and domineering personality.
Chen Bin looked at the silent Zha Qiuling and once again gently tried to persuade her.
"Miss Cha, I know you haven't been happy with Secretary Cheng. Instead of being tied to one tree, why not pursue your happiness? You're so beautiful, you're bound to have a successful career and love life."
Unconsciously glancing at Chen Bin's crotch, Zha Qiuling asked.
"If I get divorced from Cheng Liusha, would you really be willing to continue helping me with promotions?"
"Of course! Getting a divorce is like doing me a favor, and I'm the kind of person who would do anything for my benefactor."
Thinking of the painful memories with Cheng Liusha over these years, Zha Qiuling finally signed the divorce agreement.
Seeing this, Chen Bin's lips curled into a slight smile.
At this moment, he had finally completed the task Cheng Liusha assigned him.
He wondered what benefits the other party would bring him.
Just then, Zha Qiuling's puzzled voice suddenly rang out.
"The man in the video... is it you?"
Chen Bin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly shook his head.
"Miss Cha, don't joke around, how could it be me?"
Nodding, Zha Qiuling didn't say anything more and left directly.
As the door closed, Chen Bin immediately called Cheng Liusha.
The latter was very happy upon hearing the news.
He quickly said, "I knew you could do it. Since you've helped me so much, you're sure to be rewarded!"
Soon after, Chen Bin got another title, that of Vice Minister of the Provincial Committee Propaganda Department.
When Yang Linke heard this news, he felt very frustrated.
He had been thinking about how to deal with Chen Bin, but unexpectedly, that guy had established good relations with Cheng Liusha, so what could he do now?
Just then, his secretary knocked and entered the room.
"Minister Yang, the Vice Director of the Provincial Television Station, Mei Ouchi, is here to see you."
Mei Ouchi?
After thinking for a moment, Yang Linke finally replied.
"Let him in."
Soon, Mei Ouchi, with a smiling face, walked into the office.
"Minister Yang, hello."
Yang Linke, with a sullen face, asked, "What brings you here?"
"I'm here about Chen Bin. Last time, Chen Bin almost took your position as Minister of Propaganda. I have a way to take him down. Do you want to hear it?"
This immediately piqued Yang Linke's interest.
Squinting at Mei Ouchi, his heart was full of scrutiny.
Mei Ouchi quickly explained, "Chen Bin behaves too domineeringly in the station, and many people are dissatisfied with him. I want to leverage your power to bring him down, and then you can just make me the director."
"He's now a vice governor and my deputy. What means do you have to topple him?"
Mei Ouchi explained, "Chen Bin has no real ability, he just curries favor with whoever is in charge. As long as we disrupt his relationship with Secretary Cheng, that guy would become a paper tiger."
Nodding, Yang Linke found this idea agreeable.
"Alright then, tell me your plan, and I'll see if it can work."
Without any hesitation, a trace of viciousness flashed in Mei Ouchi's eyes.
He then explained his thoughts.
After hearing, Yang Linke nodded repeatedly.
"Not bad, go ahead and do it. With me backing you up, don't have any worries."
Knowing that the other party had connections with the Xiong family of the Imperial Capital, and now receiving such affirmation from Yang Linke, Mei Ouchi finally relaxed.
"Minister Yang, with your support, I can rest easy. Chen Bin won't be bouncing around for long."
That evening, Chen Bin and Cheng Liusha gathered together again.
Since Chen Bin helped Cheng Liusha successfully get a divorce, their relationship had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Over dinner, the conversation soon turned to Lu Cailian.
Chen Bin asked, "Secretary Cheng, you already know about Lu Cailian. What else do you want to know about her?"
Cheng Liusha replied, "Of course, it's about her feelings."
"Do you want to introduce her to someone?"
"Don't play games with me. Do you not know what my thoughts are?"
Seeing that the other party had made his intentions clear, Chen Bin had to reply.
"Actually, I noticed long ago that you have affections for Lu Cailian. It's just that since you didn't bring it up first, I didn't dare to mention it."
If it were another woman, Chen Bin would have helped matchmake a long time ago.
But the issue was that Lu Cailian was his own woman, so Chen Bin could only play dumb.
Unable to avoid it any longer, he finally put on a grin.
Cheng Liusha, unaware of Chen Bin's thoughts, voiced his feelings.
"Things like this, I would only dare to say in front of you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't bring it up. Lu Cailian is well-versed in literature and has high personal cultivation. I really hope to spend the rest of my life with such a woman."
"For Secretary Cheng to fancy someone, it's an honor for Lu Cailian. But relationships are about mutual affection. I am willing to do my best to facilitate that, but I can't say what the final result would be."
When Chen Bin said this, his heart was bleeding.
To him, Lu Cailian didn't hold the same significance as Zhao Xinmei or Ma Juan.
But she was still his woman.
Handing her over just like that was a humiliation beyond measure.
Inadvertently, Chen Bin thought of He Beibei.
Back then, He Beibei married Xiong Wubing due to his coercion.
He didn't want such a tragedy to happen again.
But Cheng Liusha was the Provincial Committee Secretary, a big tree worth leaning on.
And besides, Lu Cailian might not even be willing to marry an old man like Cheng Liusha.
As Chen Bin was lost in thought, a WeChat notification suddenly sounded.
When he opened it, it was a message from Wei Bailu.
"Mr. Chen, I've thought of an answer. Are you still in the office? I'd like to come to you."
Chen Bin replied, "I'm off work now. Meet me at the Radio and Television International Hotel next to the TV station. I'm having dinner with someone."
At this moment, Cheng Liusha patted Chen Bin on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Affairs of the heart shouldn't be forced. You should boldly do what you must without any apprehensions. But keep this between us, don't let anyone else know."
"You can rest assured, since you confided in me, I wouldn't betray your trust."
At this point, Chen Bin suddenly asked, "Secretary Cheng, I'm a bit curious, what is your relationship with Li Lu?"
