The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

As Li Kaixin left the office, she began to walk towards the bicycle shed.

Zhou Zhiming, who was tidying up his car repair tools, saw this, put down his tools, and immediately came over.

As soon as he arrived, he eagerly asked, "Master, what did Station Chief Zhao want to talk to you about?"

"It's nothing, it's just that some colleagues from the newspaper are coming to interview me tomorrow," Li Kaixin said calmly, her face expressionless.

"What?!"

Zhou Zhiming's eyes widened in disbelief: "Master, when did this happen? Why didn't I hear any announcement from the station?"

"The station manager mentioned it to me briefly after the last meeting. I only found out the exact date just now."

Li Kaixin paused as she spoke, then added, "They should be telling everyone at the station soon."

"I see." Zhou Zhiming nodded.

He understood now; no wonder Station Chief Zhao had been so eager to call his mentor to his office alone after the last meeting.

Then, something occurred to him, and his eyes lit up: "Wouldn't that mean I'd have a mentor who could be in the newspapers from now on!"

"That's one way to put it."

Li Kaixin smiled slightly, then reminded him, "However, you are my apprentice, and they might ask you a couple of questions tomorrow. You should be prepared, otherwise you might panic."

"Really?"

Zhou Zhiming became even more excited, and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels: "Then I really need to think carefully about what to say!"

Just then, Mr. Chen, who was on the other side of the bike shed, finished inspecting his vehicle and noticed Li Kaixin's situation.

He gave his apprentice Song Hai a few instructions and then walked towards Li Kaixin and the others.

"Kaixin, Zhiming, what are you two chatting about? You seem so happy!" Master Chen approached, his face full of curiosity.

Zhou Zhiming turned around and saw it was his grandmaster, and immediately said, "Grandmaster, you don't know yet, do you? My master is going to be interviewed tomorrow!"

"An interview? What's going on?" Master Chen was even more puzzled and turned his gaze to Li Kaixin beside him.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin briefly explained that Station Chief Zhao had contacted him and that the newspaper was coming to interview him the next day.

Master Chen was shocked when he heard this.

Seeing Master Chen's reaction, Zhou Zhiming excitedly spoke up again:

"Master, my master said that since I'm his apprentice, I might be asked about it during interviews. Since you're his master, are you more likely to be asked a few questions by colleagues from the newspaper?"

As they were talking, Director Xie came out of his office and walked straight toward the platform in front of the bicycle shed.

Before the shocked Mr. Chen could answer, Director Xie had already walked to the platform and raised his voice: "Everyone come over here for a moment, I have something to announce today."

His shout cut off the words that Master Chen was about to say.

Master Chen, Zhou Zhiming, and Li Kaixin stopped talking and walked together toward Director Xie.

The masters and apprentices at the transportation station all gathered around.

Director Xie first glanced at Li Kaixin with a broad smile, then surveyed the crowd below the stage, cleared his throat, and announced:

"Everyone should dress smartly and be in good spirits tomorrow, as some colleagues from the newspaper are coming to our station for an interview."

Upon hearing this, the master and apprentices exchanged glances and began to whisper among themselves.

Wu Tian leaned closer to Li Kaixin and asked in a low voice, "Kaixin, I saw you go into the stationmaster's office just now. Do you know what the newspaper colleagues are here to interview about?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Li Kaixin smiled mysteriously when he saw it was Wu Tian.

At this moment, someone couldn't help but ask Director Xie on the platform, "Director, what exactly is the interview about? So we can be prepared."

"That's right, Director. If you don't say anything and we don't know what to say, don't blame us!" The others chimed in.

When Director Xie saw everyone pressing for answers, he chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. The main interview this time is with Comrade Li Kaixin."

Upon hearing this, the people below erupted in uproar, all looking at Li Kaixin in shock.

A younger apprentice couldn't help but mutter:

"Director, the newspaper is here to interview Li Kaixin. Why did you call us all over? It's none of our business."

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously noisy atmosphere immediately quieted down, and everyone looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Li Kaixin couldn't help but glance at him, recognizing him as an apprentice named Wang Hongzhi, and thought to himself:

How can someone be so stupid as to say something so disregarding unity? If the higher-ups take this to heart, losing their job would be the least of their worries.

Wang Hongzhi's master, on the other hand, wished he could immediately cover his mouth.

Director Xie on the stage was visibly taken aback, then straightened his face, pointed at Wang Hongzhi and sternly rebuked him: "You, stand up and repeat what you just said."

Wang Hongzhi was frightened by Director Xie's gaze and trembled, not daring to step forward.

He was just caught up in a moment of jealousy and blurted out his true feelings.

Seeing that Wang Hongzhi was frightened, Director Xie's expression softened slightly. He then looked at the others in the audience and said, "Does anyone have any objections? You can speak up now."

The others were stunned by this display and dared not utter a sound.

Seeing that no one spoke, Director Xie's expression became serious, and his tone became more forceful:

"Comrade Li Kaixin is capable of getting the report approved. Who among you has ever seen someone so young get promoted? Everyone knows who saved Comrade Du Ziteng during the last long-distance transport mission."

"Furthermore, this is not just an honor for Comrade Li Kaixin alone, but for the entire transportation station."

He paused, then glanced at the audience again, his tone carrying a warning:

"If I find out that anyone causes trouble during tomorrow's interview, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Understood, Director. We definitely won't let you down."

"We'll definitely cooperate with Comrade Li Kaixin to complete the interview," the people below chimed in.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Director Xie nodded in satisfaction before stepping down from the stage.

As soon as Director Xie left, everyone's eyes turned to Li Kaixin, and they began to flatter him.

After hearing what Director Xie said, everyone finally understood.

Li Kaixin is not only a driver, but also a skilled doctor.

Last time, Du Ziteng was so badly injured, but he still managed to save him.

Nobody can guarantee they won't encounter this kind of thing on the road again. Building a good relationship with him now might just become their only hope for survival someday.

However, there were two exceptions in the crowd.

It was Wang Hongzhi, the talkative man from earlier, and his master.

The old craftsman looked at the scene before him and sighed deeply.

He wanted to go up and say a few kind words, but when he thought about what his apprentice had just done, he felt embarrassed.

He tugged at his apprentice's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go, don't just stand there."

"Yes, Master." Wang Hongzhi said, his head drooping.

The two remained silent and slowly moved away along the edge of the crowd.
