The Strongest Master Venturing Urban

Lan Moke rushed to the bathroom and urged Zuo Kai inside.

"Stop washing, hurry up and get dressed. My parents will be here any minute."

Zuo Kai knew that Lan Moke's parents disapproved of his profession.

Thus, he didn't think much about it. He casually grabbed a towel to wipe his face and quickly ran into the bedroom to get dressed.

Before leaving, he planted a kiss on Lan Moke's cheek.

As soon as the door closed, Lan Moke immediately began tidying up the room.

She cleaned up all traces left behind by Zuo Kai, and even used a damp tissue to wipe the spot on her face where she had been kissed.

Once everything was prepared, she changed into pajamas and left home, heading to the parking garage.

After waiting for about five minutes, Lan Moke spotted Chen Bin's car approaching from the distance.

Seeing that a chauffeur was driving, she promptly opened the rear door and stepped forward to assist Chen Bin.

The chauffeur assumed the two were husband and wife and inwardly marveled at the fortune of Chen Bin to marry such a beautiful woman.

After locking the car door and handing the keys to Lan Moke, the chauffeur rode off on his bike.

Facing Chen Bin, who reeked of alcohol, Lan Moke showed no signs of disdain.

Instead, she patiently said, "Godfather, let's go home."

With her support, the two walked into her home together.

What neither of them realized was that they were being followed from a distance by a shadowy figure.

Once the door closed, Zuo Kai emerged from a corner.

Muttering to himself, he said, "Since when does she have a godfather? Why didn't I know about this?"

Regarding Lan Moke's deceit, Zuo Kai wasn't actually angry.

He understood that her private life was messy.

If he were to marry her, who knows how many times he'd end up wearing a green hat.

But what piqued Zuo Kai's curiosity was the identity of the man Lan Moke called godfather.

Determined to figure out the man's identity, Zuo Kai spent the whole night in his car, playing with his phone—just in case Chen Bin left suddenly.

When morning came, Zuo Kai saw a man taking out keys and unlocking the godfather's car door.

After carefully observing, Zuo Kai was shocked to discover the man was Chen Bin, the director of the Yanxi Province TV Station!

To ensure he wasn't mistaken, Zuo Kai followed Chen Bin closely.

It wasn't until the car drove into the TV station that Zuo Kai finally exhaled in relief.

"Lan Moke, oh Lan Moke, I didn't expect you'd be involved with your station director."

Of course, the station director of Yanxi Province TV must surely be wealthy.

With this thought, Zuo Kai's mind began to whirl with possibilities...

Soon after, Yanxi Province TV Station officially announced the list of candidates advancing to the interviews.

Among the fifty names was Zhu Lang.

However, Zhu Lang was the most controversial candidate of them all.

This time, Mei Ouchi, Fan Sheng, and Xiang Chengkang joined forces, unanimously agreeing that Zhu Lang was utterly useless.

Not only unfit to be director, but he wasn't even qualified for deputy director.

But Chen Bin remained adamant—Zhu Lang had to advance to the interview stage.

Lu Lin, Chen Bin's staunch supporter, unconditionally backed all of Chen Bin's decisions.

Seeing the shifting tides, Xiang Chengkang guessed Chen Bin was giving Zhu Lang preferential treatment, so he immediately sided with Chen Bin.

With the tables turned, even though Mei Ouchi and Fan Sheng wanted to oppose, they were left with no argument to make.

However, Mei Ouchi suspected Zhu Lang might be related to Chen Bin by blood. To stab Chen Bin in the back, he exerted great effort investigating Zhu Lang.

The findings revealed no familial ties between Chen Bin and Zhu Lang.

Instead, they showed Zhu Lang had a history of being detained for brawling.

In late February, the fifty candidates advancing to the interviews, led by Lu Lin, entered the meeting room one by one.

The first dozen went smoothly, but when it was Zhu Lang's turn, Mei Ouchi ramped up the pressure.

"I've reviewed your resume. You're applying for the position of Director of the Farmers' Channel. So tell me, what was the total grain output of our province last year? Do you know?"

"I don't know."

"What are the characteristics of agriculture in Yanxi Province? Do you have ideas for its future development?"

"I don't have any."

"If you don't know anything, then what's your purpose here?"

"To apply for the Director position at the Farmers' Channel."

At this, everyone present burst into laughter.

Zhu Lang instantly broke into a cold sweat and instinctively looked toward Chen Bin.

But Chen Bin ignored him entirely.

Smirking coldly, Mei Ouchi spoke up.

"You're clueless about everything and you've been detained for brawling. Why would our station hire someone like you?!"

The comment was like a thunderclap, stunning everyone present.

Even Chen Bin stared at Zhu Lang in shock; he hadn't known this guy had such a shady past.

Zhu Lang also hadn't expected the TV station to dig up his history either.

Fan Sheng, seeing the tension escalate, directly gestured to Zhu Lang.

"There's no need to waste any more time. Just leave!"

With his head hung low, Zhu Lang left like a defeated dog.

Watching this, Mei Ouchi secretly shot a glance at Chen Bin, feeling triumphant.

After the interviews concluded, Chen Bin overrode everyone and included Zhu Lang on the shortlist.

This decision greatly angered Mei Ouchi.

"Chen Tai, Zhu Lang performed so poorly in the interview and has a criminal record. Are you sure you want to use someone like him?"

"Everyone makes mistakes; having a record doesn't mean anything. While Zhu Lang's interview wasn't outstanding, he's a hands-on worker who will definitely contribute to the station in the future."

Hearing this, Fan Sheng couldn't help but retort.

"Chen Tai, if you can't be fair, there's no point in holding interviews. You can just directly appoint whoever you want without wasting everyone's time."

Seeing their resolute stance, Chen Bin said dismissively.

"Let's leave it at that for now. We'll finalize the personnel decisions for each channel tomorrow."

After the meeting ended, Mei Ouchi headed straight to Chen Bin's office.

"Chen Tai, I'm only addressing the issue, not the person. Please don't take offense to what happened earlier."

Nodding, Chen Bin adopted a nonchalant expression.

"It's good to have differing opinions. Why would I be offended? You're overthinking it."

After Mei Ouchi left, Chen Bin immediately called Fan Sheng.

"Was it you who investigated Zhu Lang's record?"

"No, it wasn't!"

"Then why did Mei Tai just accuse you, saying you were the one behind it?"

This stunned Fan Sheng, making his face go pale with anger.

"I only found out about Zhu Lang's record during the meeting. How is it that in his version, I became the investigator? He's clearly making false accusations!"

"We've always had a decent relationship, so I decided to call directly. I hope this incident helps you see Mei Ouchi's true nature."

Hearing Chen Bin's loaded words, Fan Sheng hung up and immediately began cursing Mei Ouchi's entire family.

Though impulsive, Fan Sheng wasn't a fool.

At this moment, he realized the truth—Mei Ouchi was a petty and deceitful person, playing one way in public and another in private!
