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

The experienced workers at the transportation station who were watching initially thought that Master Fang was exaggerating when he said that Li Kaixin had that level of skill, but after he announced his own level, they had no choice but to believe him.

The group that came to interview them were shocked that Li Kaixin was so young, yet his skills were already almost on par with those of veterans who had been working for thirty or forty years.

The entire audience fell silent for a moment.

Station Chief Zhao was the first to recover.

Although he was surprised when Master Fang said that Li Kaixin had a second-level skill level, now was not the time to be stunned.

So he immediately went to Sun Xiaoyan's side, unable to suppress his smile: "Comrade Sun, do you think the interview can continue?"

"Oh, right, right!"

Sun Xiaoyan snapped out of her daze and quickly turned to Master Fang: "Master Fang, please take a rest. We need to do an exclusive interview with Comrade Li Kaixin."

After she finished speaking, she gestured to the two young men behind her.

He then walked up to Li Kaixin and gently reminded him, "Comrade Li Kaixin, please control your expression. Let's take a picture first."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin nodded and immediately gave a polite smile.

Upon seeing this, the young man with a camera slung behind Sun Xiaoyan deftly raised his camera and pressed the shutter button repeatedly.

After the photos were taken, Sun Xiaoyan officially began the interview.

They asked Li Kaixin about everything from when he started working at the transportation station to the problems he encountered on a daily basis.

Li Kaixin answered in a logical and organized manner, never forgetting to mention the training he received from the organization and leaders, as well as the guidance from his experienced colleagues.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and bursts of approving laughter rang out from time to time.

Seeing that Li Kaixin was so young yet answered so calmly and thoughtfully, Sun Xiaoyan couldn't help but smile and nod slightly.

Those watching, including Master Chen, Zhou Zhiming, and Wu Tian, ​​who were close to Li Kaixin, were all smiles, genuinely happy and proud for him.

Just when everyone thought the interview was about to end smoothly,

Suddenly, a discordant voice rang out:

"Comrade Li Kaixin, you're so young yet possess such advanced skills, and you've even been featured in the newspapers. Are you feeling a little proud and complacent now?"

These words carried a clear barb, instantly freezing the previously relaxed atmosphere.

Everyone turned their heads and looked at the person who had spoken.

It was a young man.

Standing at the back of the interview team, he stared intently at Li Kaixin, his eyes full of provocation.

Director Xie and Station Chief Zhao both frowned and looked at Sun Xiaoyan, thinking that this was another scheme she had orchestrated.

Sun Xiaoyan was also confused. After turning around and seeing who had spoken, she immediately scolded him sharply: "Li Heming, what are you doing? Is this your place to speak?"

"Section Chief Sun, is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Li Heming wasn't intimidated at all and retorted directly, "Comrade Li Kaixin has achieved so much at such a young age, I was just asking what he thinks."

As he spoke, he immediately displayed an attitude of "what can you do about it?"

He was filled with jealousy. Why was someone younger than him, who seemed to have no background, able to make the newspapers?

"You, you..." Sun Xiaoyan was clearly furious.

Seeing her exasperated, Li Heming became even more emboldened: "Section Chief Sun, you need to understand that you are just a section-level cadre."

Sun Xiaoyan was somewhat speechless. It wasn't that she was afraid of Li Heming in front of her, but rather she was wary of his father—her direct superior, the director of the newspaper.

If it weren't for her father's insistence, she wouldn't have let Li Heming come along today at all.

Li Kaixin was somewhat surprised that the person interviewing her, Comrade Sun, was a section chief.

What surprised him even more was that this section chief was rendered speechless by a young man's retort.

Seeing Sun Xiaoyan speechless, Li Heming smiled disdainfully, turned to look at Li Kaixin, and spoke with a threatening tone:

"Comrade Li Kaixin, you'd better answer my question. Otherwise, we'll only be able to report your arrogance. If that gets published and the whole country sees it..."

He paused, then looked down at Li Kaixin and said, "Tsk tsk! It's hard to say whether you'll even be able to keep your job then."

After saying that, he turned to the young female comrade who was taking notes and gave her a warning look.

Upon hearing this, Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie's faces darkened, and the veteran workers watching also looked angry.

Li Heming not only wanted to ruin Li Kaixin, but also wanted to tarnish the reputation of the transportation station.

A cold glint flashed in Li Kaixin's eyes. He hadn't expected this person to be so vicious, trying to kill him with such methods when they were complete strangers.

"Still not going to talk? Comrade Li Kaixin, then I'll have someone record this truthfully." Li Heming's tone was playful.

He is now enjoying the pleasure that power brings. No matter how capable you are, you are still under my control.

"Wait!" Li Kaixin took a deep breath, stepped forward, and said calmly, "I'm very proud..."

Upon hearing this, Li Heming immediately interrupted, excitedly pointing at the young woman taking notes: "Quick, write down what he said!"

He never expected that the person in front of him would actually dare to admit it.

Director Xie and Station Chief Zhao remained calm and did not rush forward, still trusting Li Kaixin.

However, those around Li Kaixin who were close to him could not hide their worry.

"I haven't even finished speaking, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Kaixin retorted without any politeness.

"Fine, fine!" Li Heming laughed instead of getting angry at the retort: ​​"Keep going, kid. I want to see what kind of nonsense you can come up with."

Now he doesn't even bother to address anyone as "comrade," feeling confident that victory is already in his grasp.

Although what I just said about making him famous nationwide was a bit of an exaggeration, if you remember this sentence, I'm sure this kid will never make it into the newspapers.

Li Kaixin straightened his back, his voice clear and steady:

"I am proud to have been born in an era where people have faith and the nation is strong; I am proud that, at a young age, I could contribute my share to the nation's development; I am proud that..."

Then, he incorporated some classic quotes from Mr. Liang, such as "When the youth are strong, the nation is strong," and his voice became more and more impassioned as he spoke.

Finally, Li Kaixin looked at Li Heming with a hint of disdain and said, word by word, "This is my pride. Please remember it well."

"Bravo!" A loud cheer erupted from the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, applause surged up like a tidal wave, one wave after another.

Zhou Zhiming and Wu Tian, ​​who were close to Li Kaixin, were so excited that they cheered and jumped up.

Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie clapped enthusiastically, their faces beaming with smiles.

Sun Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart had been pounding in her throat when Li Kaixin said "proud."

But Li Heming was getting a little anxious.

He was jolted by Li Kaixin's final look, along with the cheers from all around, and immediately lost his composure.

He abruptly turned to the young woman in charge of taking notes, his voice trembling with excitement: "Cross out all his last words! Only leave his very first sentence!"

As he spoke, he lunged forward to snatch the notebook.
