CHAPTER 660: CHAPTER 660: WHY DO YOU KISS HER BUT NOT ME?

Chen Bin replied with a smile, "Jingshang Taiyi has pretty good qualities, and he does genuinely like you. Why don’t you give him a chance?"

Yan Kangli shook her head firmly.

"Feelings require mutual consent. I don’t feel anything for him, and I don’t like Japanese people. Please kindly tell him not to come looking for me anymore. Thank you!"

Seeing how resolute she was, Chen Bin had no choice but to nod in agreement.

When Jingshang Taiyi heard the news, he was utterly heartbroken.

In the end, it was only through Chen Bin’s persuasion that he began to see things differently.

After all, given his family’s favorable conditions, finding a girlfriend wouldn’t be too difficult.

On the last day of September, "Huaxia Female Voice" finally reached the grand finale.

Ni Baige had already entered the top four, and many people had high hopes for her to win the championship.

However, she announced she was quitting the contest in front of all the audience.

In an instant, it drew the attention of countless people.

Judge Wen Wan asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to withdraw?"

Ni Baige replied with tears in her eyes, "I feel I’ve already proven myself and don’t need to continue competing for rankings."

"Since you don’t want the rankings, what was the purpose of your participation?"

"The purpose was to prove myself! In many people’s eyes, it was just luck that I got the chance to perform on Yanxi Station. But no one knows that I had fled countless times in the Imperial Capital and was forced to sing in bars..."

Ni Baige wiped away her tears and revealed her miserable experiences in the Imperial Capital.

Instantly, she resonated with countless musicians.

Only then did everyone realize that the glamorous Ni Baige had been subjected to countless bullying before she stepped onto the stage.

After this incident went viral, Ni Baige became a symbol of overturning misfortune.

Her inspiring story also garnered her countless fans.

Actually, Ni Baige’s mid-competition withdrawal was Chen Bin’s idea.

Chen Bin knew that with Ni Baige’s abilities, winning the championship would be no problem.

But if she did, there would still be endless criticism.

To get Ni Baige more attention, Chen Bin had no choice but to employ this tactic.

Due to successive revelations on "Huaxia Female Voice," the show gained unprecedented popularity.

As the planners and broadcasters of the show, Yanxi Station reaped both fame and profits.

From that point on, it established itself as the leader in entertainment programs.

After "Huaxia Female Voice" officially ended, the top ten contestants and the three mentors received countless commercial performance opportunities.

Wen Wan and Ni Baige did not participate in any activities; instead, under Chen Bin’s planning, they began collaborating on an album.

After all, they both belonged to Foodie Media, and it’s quite normal to leverage each other’s popularity for cooperation.

On this day, Chen Bin was invited to dinner at Yuan Qian’s house.

Fu Hongtu asked, "Do you want the remaining land at Xing Family’s Village or not? Hurry up and give a definite answer."

Seeing his face wasn’t looking good, Chen Bin quickly responded.

"Yes, of course, I want it! I just didn’t know what to do with it before, but I’ve recently made up my mind."

"Tell me, what are you planning to use it for?"

"I plan to build a large theme park with dining and entertainment facilities, creating a scenic area around the provincial broadcast television station and surrounding landscapes."

Actually, once Yanxi Province’s broadcast television station was completed, it went viral, being called Yanxi’s most beautiful building by netizens.

It even attracted numerous influencers for photo ops.

Chen Bin realized many people came just to take photos and left, without generating more income.

That’s why he thought of building a large theme park there, which will surely be profitable.

Upon hearing Chen Bin’s plan, Fu Hongtu couldn’t help but smile.

"Do you know what people say about you now? They say money is all that matters to you. Compared to officials, you’re more like a businessman."

"What’s wrong with being a businessman? Driving the local economy and contributing to Yanxi is also a good thing."

Yuan Qian nodded slightly, very satisfied with her younger brother Chen Bin.

Aside from being a bit lustful, he virtually had no flaws.

But then again, if Chen Bin were not lustful, he wouldn’t be part of the Old Chen Family.

At this moment, Fu Hongtu asked again.

"I asked you to keep an eye on Mou Long; have you discovered anything recently?"

"I specifically assigned someone to observe him, but I haven’t noticed anything."

Fu Hongtu shook his head slightly, murmuring, "It seems you’re still not attentive enough."

These words left Chen Bin feeling confused and puzzled.

"Brother-in-law, why do you keep asking me to watch Mou Long? Give me a reason, so I can have some idea."

"Well... you’ll understand later. For now, let’s continue with dinner."

Seeing Fu Hongtu unwilling to tell him, Chen Bin became even more curious about Mou Long.

What exactly was so special about him that made Fu Hongtu keep mentioning him?

It seemed that once he had free time, he had to personally investigate.

The next day, Chen Bin got off work early and picked up the two-tier massive cake he’d pre-ordered from the bakery.

Then, he headed to a private room at a high-end restaurant.

About half an hour later, the sisters Liao Ruoji and Liao Ruoli arrived at the private room together.

Seeing the two-tier high cake inside, Liao Ruoli seemed very pleased.

She immediately ran over and jumped into Chen Bin’s arms.

"Brother Bin, you remembered my birthday."

Chen Bin immediately took out a gift box from the table and smiled as he spoke.

"Of course, I remember! Even though I’ve been quite busy recently, there’s no way I’d forget your birthday. This is my birthday gift to you; I hope you’ll like it."

Since Liao Ruoli arrived in Tianhai, Chen Bin had been busy with work outside and rarely visited Liao Ruoji’s house.

As a result, Liao Ruoli was quite dissatisfied in her heart.

Now when she saw that he still remembered her birthday, her face blushed with happiness.

"I’m just satisfied you remembered my birthday; there’s actually no need for a gift. By the way, what’s inside the gift box?"

Even though Liao Ruoli was already over thirty, she still acted like a young girl.

She said she didn’t want it, but her body was completely honest.

Opening the gift box, she gasped in amazement, covering her mouth.

"Oh my god, it’s a Patek Philippe!"

Inside the gift box lay a ladies’ wristwatch, dazzling with pearls and treasures.

It was also a famous watch that Liao Ruoli had always liked but couldn’t bring herself to purchase.

"Brother Bin, this... This watch costs more than two hundred thousand yuan; how did you..."

Before Liao Ruoli could finish speaking, Chen Bin waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Come, let me put it on and see how it looks."

After putting on the watch, Liao Ruoli seemed very pleased, even giving Liao Ruoji a slightly smug look.

Obviously, she was showing off.

Just as Liao Ruoji’s face started to turn grim, Chen Bin took another identical gift box from the table.

Approaching her, he softly said, "Ruoji, today is your birthday too, I hope you’ll like this gift."

Looking at the watch identical to her sister’s, Liao Ruoji shook her head slightly.

"Brother Bin, I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but this watch is too expensive. Why don’t you return it, and we can use the money as a down payment for a house?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Bin felt a slight tremble in his heart.

There’s no doubt, compared to Liao Ruoli, Liao Ruoji always had a way of stirring one’s heart unexpectedly.

Gently kissing Liao Ruoji’s lips, Chen Bin said softly.

"You don’t need to worry about the house; I’ll find a way. This watch is your gift, let me put it on for you."

When he was about to put the watch on Liao Ruoji, Liao Ruoli protested.

"Why did you kiss her and not me? No way, I want one too!"
