With a cold snort, Du Minli appeared utterly disdainful.
"Chen Bin does have some abilities; I won't deny that. But the achievements he's made so far are entirely due to others hyping him up. Even the tiniest bit of credit becomes headline news—it's nothing short of ridiculous!"
Grinning broadly, Xiong Wubing was very pleased with this response.
As a political rival, the worse Chen Bin's reputation, the better it was for him.
"Then tell me, what's your opinion of me?"
Du Minli didn't hesitate; flattering words rolled off her tongue effortlessly.
"Although I don't know much about Secretary Xiong, I'm well aware that you're destined for great accomplishments in the future. After all, temporary postings are meant for honing one's abilities. The top seat of Dragon Mountain County seems like it was made for you!"
After hearing this, Xiong Wubing felt as if he were walking on air.
He raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "County Magistrate Du, I toast to you!"
