CHAPTER 669: CHAPTER 669: BEST OF THE BEST

Three days later, Chen Bin received a call from Cheng Liusha.

His wife, Zha Qiuling, was already on her way to Tianhai, arriving at 6:15.

He asked Chen Bin to arrange for someone to pick her up, and after discussing the clothing promotion, to send her to the Provincial Committee Family Courtyard.

Although Cheng Liusha said this, Chen Bin felt he should go personally.

After all, she was the wife of the Provincial Committee Secretary, so it wouldn’t hurt to curry some favor.

After getting Zha Qiuling’s phone number, Chen Bin immediately called the Radio and Television International Hotel to arrange a private room.

After work, he drove to the airport himself.

At exactly 6:15, he called Zha Qiuling, but she didn’t pick up.

She probably hadn’t gotten off the plane yet.

During the following time, Chen Bin called every three minutes.

On the fourth try, a cold voice finally came through.

"Who’s this?"

"Hello, Miss Cha, I am Chen Bin, the director of Yanxi Province Radio and Television Station. I’m waiting for you at the airport exit."

"Got it, just wait there."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

Chen Bin frowned slightly; his impression of this Zha Qiuling wasn’t very good.

As people continued to exit, he soon saw two standout women.

They both looked young, and their attire was extremely fashionable.

Neither of them looked like Cheng Liusha’s wife!

Could it not be them?

Just as Chen Bin felt puzzled, one of the more alluring women picked up a phone and put it to her ear.

When the phone rang and he saw the caller ID, Chen Bin finally confirmed.

The woman on the phone was indeed Cheng Liusha’s wife, Zha Qiuling!

As soon as he answered, a very dissatisfied voice came from the phone.

"I’m out now, where are you?"

Chen Bin quickly raised his right hand high and waved it vigorously.

"Miss Cha, look to your left, the person waving is me."

The woman glanced at Chen Bin, then hung up the phone and walked straight over.

"You’re Chen Bin?"

Cheng Liusha was already over fifty, so his wife should be at least forty.

But this woman looked only a bit over thirty, about the same age as Liao Ruoji.

Zha Qiuling wasn’t just beautiful; she also had an exquisite figure, almost perfection.

And the most striking thing was her attire.

A low-cut shirt paired with tight-fitting jeans, and nine-centimeter heels.

Such an avant-garde outfit, it was a head-turner.

Even though he knew her identity, Chen Bin couldn’t associate her with being the wife of the Provincial Committee Secretary.

Seeing Chen Bin silent, Zha Qiuling questioned him with a blackened face.

"Do you still want to be the director? Why didn’t you hold a sign when coming to pick me up?"

"Ah?"

Chen Bin was dumbfounded, his eyes widened.

This exceptional woman was really Cheng Liusha’s wife?

Seeing Chen Bin still not speaking, Zha Qiuling became even more irritated.

"Are you deaf? I’m talking to you!"

"Oh! Okay, I realize my mistake. Next time I come to pick you up, I’ll definitely hold a big sign!"

"Tch, I won’t let you pick me up again, ruining my mood!"

Muttering to herself, Zha Qiuling said to the woman behind her.

"Give him the suitcase! No chivalry at all, how did someone like him become the director?"

Though Chen Bin felt extremely annoyed, he still immediately took the suitcase, smiling apologetically.

"Miss Cha, this way please, my car is just nearby."

The three of them went all the way to the parking lot, and Chen Bin opened the car door, letting Zha Qiuling in first.

"Miss Cha, please rest inside while I put the luggage in the trunk."

Ignoring him, Zha Qiuling continued to complain to herself.

"A provincial station director, yet driving a shabby Audi, pretending to be frugal!"

Fuming inside, Chen Bin wished he could slap her.

With intelligence like this, how did she catch Cheng Liusha’s eye?

After placing the luggage, Chen Bin quickly got into the driver’s seat.

While driving, he said, "Miss Cha, you’re right to criticize, I didn’t think it through this time."

With a cold snort, Zha Qiuling turned to look out the window, ignoring him.

Chen Bin continued, "When you first came out, you were so stunning, like a celebrity; that’s why I didn’t respond immediately."

"What kind of eyesight is that? What celebrity would be prettier than me?"

Zha Qiuling said this, but her tone lightened a bit.

Apparently, she was quite receptive to Chen Bin’s flattery.

By now, Chen Bin suspected that Zha Qiuling might be Cheng Liusha’s second wife.

But that didn’t make sense, as Zha Qiuling’s looks and figure matched Lu Cailian’s.

Moreover, she had an enticing charm that, in theory, should draw more attention from men than Lu Cailian.

Why would Cheng Liusha be particularly concerned about Lu Cailian?

Could it be that old fellow intends to make Lu Cailian his confidante?

But could that fifty-plus-year-old body handle it?

Upon reaching the pre-arranged private room, Chen Bin let Zha Qiuling order the dishes.

At this point, she finally took off her sunglasses.

Chen Bin originally thought she wore sunglasses because her eyes weren’t attractive.

But now, that concern was completely dismissed.

She was a bona fide beauty, practically a living goddess.

But her superior attitude was extremely displeasing.

Soon, Zha Qiuling finished ordering.

Chen Bin roughly calculated, about fifty thousand.

He certainly wasn’t lacking in money, after all, it was hosting the wife of the Provincial Committee Secretary.

But with only three people dining, could they finish so much?

Moreover, her attitude from start to finish was quite grating.

Once all the dishes were served, Chen Bin immediately got up to pour wine for Zha Qiuling and her assistant.

However, they completely ignored him, simply eating on their own.

Leaving Chen Bin to sit awkwardly, the atmosphere grew tense.

From Chen Bin’s perspective, Zha Qiuling flaunting her status as the Provincial Committee Secretary’s wife was understandable.

But if she kept it up, wasn’t it a bit ungrateful?

Suppressing his anger, Chen Bin sat back down quietly.

He just hoped they’d finish eating and leave without causing him anymore trouble.

After finishing her meal, Zha Qiuling wiped her mouth with a napkin, then returned to her usual aloof demeanor.

"So, how do you plan to promote my clothing designs?"

Oh, for fuck’s sake!

It’s you asking me for help, yet you act so high and mighty!

Honestly, Chen Bin had never been this frustrated in his life.

Where exactly did Cheng Liusha find this incredible woman?
