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

At the entrance of the transport station, another group of people was walking towards them.

The person leading the group was none other than Secretary Liu, who had previously suggested that the newspaper interview Li Kaixin.

When Li Kaixin's resounding words reached him, Secretary Liu stopped and listened quietly.

Seeing this, the people behind them also stopped.

After Li Kaixin finished speaking, applause erupted from all around. A middle-aged man standing next to Secretary Liu immediately stepped forward, his tone full of approval:

"Secretary Liu, your judgment is spot on! This Comrade Li Kaixin has high ideological awareness and speaks eloquently. I think what he just said is enough for our newspaper to publish a whole issue on his own."

"President Zheng, you flatter me." Secretary Liu smiled slightly. "But this young man is indeed quite good."

He was also pleasantly surprised. It was a spur-of-the-moment arrangement, but he didn't expect the little guy to say something like that.

Hearing Secretary Liu address him so warmly, and hearing the appreciation in his words, President Zheng immediately understood.

He was about to say something more when he noticed that the cheers that had been going on suddenly turned into a chaotic argument.

Secretary Liu frowned slightly.

Upon seeing this, President Zheng immediately turned to a middle-aged man beside him and instructed, "Director Li, go and see what's going on over there."

"Yes, President." Director Li replied and quickly jogged towards Li Kaixin.

Secretary Liu and his entourage approached slowly from a distance.

When Director Li ran closer, the scene that came into view made his heart sink.

"stop!"

Li Heming, who was still scrambling for the notebook, paused when he heard that familiar voice.

Turning around and seeing it was her father, she immediately perked up: "Dad, you've finally come!"

As he spoke, he opened the notebook and took a few steps to his father.

"What are you up to?" Director Li's tone turned serious.

His purpose in sending his son today was to help him become a familiar face to the leaders.

He overheard this by chance when he passed by the president's office; a high-ranking leader would be attending today's interview.

Li Heming assumed his father had come to support him, and pointed at Sun Xiaoyan and the other newspaper staff: "Dad, they're going against me, you have to stand up for me!"

"Director Li, you should also discipline your son. He wants to cross out everything Comrade Li Kaixin said afterward, leaving only half a sentence. This is an attempt to distort the facts and harm a comrade!"

This time, Sun Xiaoyan stood up and retorted indignantly.

At this moment, Station Chief Zhao also stepped forward, his face stern:

"Great, that's really great!"

"You're Director Li from the newspaper, right? This isn't over yet. I'll report everything to Secretary Liu and let him hear how your newspaper people are slandering our comrades at the transportation station."

At first, he thought it was Sun Xiaoyan doing something on the orders of her superiors, but he didn't realize what was going on until Li Heming threatened her.

However, given his position at the time, it wasn't appropriate for him to directly intervene. Now that Director Li has arrived, it's just the right time.

"Slap!" A crisp slap suddenly rang out.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Li Heming covered his face, looking at his father in disbelief.

Director Li ignored his son, turned to Station Chief Zhao, and politely asked, "May I ask who you are?"

Who is Secretary Liu? He's someone even the head of the company has to curry favor with.

Those who can directly contact Secretary Liu must be of high status.

Director Xie stepped forward and introduced, "This is Station Master Zhao from our transportation station."

Upon hearing this, Director Li's heart skipped a beat; this person was on the same level as his own president.

Normally, offending someone wouldn't be a big deal, since they're not in the same system and don't pose a threat.

But what time is it today? The president and Secretary Liu will be arriving soon.

He couldn't help but glare fiercely at his son.

He then turned to Station Chief Zhao with a fawning smile: "Station Chief Zhao, this is all a misunderstanding. The child is just being ignorant. I'll have him apologize to you. I hope you'll be magnanimous."

As she spoke, she pulled her son over and was about to bow and apologize.

Station Chief Zhao snorted coldly and turned his head away.

The son of a minor director was spreading rumors and even threatening his colleagues at the transportation station in front of his home.

If I let this go, I might as well give up being the station manager.

"It's quite lively! Let me listen in too?" Secretary Liu led his group over.

This sound drew everyone's attention.

Upon seeing that it was Secretary Liu, Station Chief Zhao immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Secretary Liu, what brings you here?"

"I just came to check on how the interview is going," Secretary Liu said with a smile.

"I also heard what Comrade Li Kaixin said just now; it was very inspiring!"

Station Chief Zhao immediately chimed in, "Secretary Liu, you also think it's good? But just now, some comrades from the newspaper tried to cut out the beginning and end, distort the record, and frame Comrade Li Kaixin."

He was furious this time and bluntly stated his position.

"Oh? Is that so?" Secretary Liu's face was expressionless, and he turned his gaze to President Zheng beside him.

As soon as Station Chief Zhao finished speaking, President Zheng's heart skipped a beat.

Seeing Secretary Liu's gaze at him now, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

He steeled himself and stepped forward: "Secretary Liu, please give me a moment, I will find out the situation immediately."

He immediately walked over to Director Li and asked, "Director Li, what exactly happened?"

"President, this, this..." Director Li stammered, unable to utter a coherent sentence for a long time.

His reaction greatly alarmed President Zheng: "Director Li, stop with the 'this and that' and just tell me! Secretary Liu is waiting for a reply!"

Director Li still looked like he had something to say but couldn't, and kept his head down even lower.

"Comrade, please don't ask anymore, I'll explain it to you." Director Xie stepped forward.

Then, he recounted in detail how Director Li's son had threatened him and tried to tamper with the records.

Upon hearing this, President Zheng's anger flared instantly, and he roared:

"Li Quansheng! If this matter concerning your son implicates our newspaper and causes Secretary Liu to have a negative view of us, I will not let you off easily!"

As soon as he finished speaking, President Zheng hurriedly walked towards Secretary Liu.

Director Li watched his retreating figure, her legs suddenly went weak, and she almost couldn't stand up.

He understood that he had completely failed today, and his future career path would likely be cut off here.

All of this was caused by his good-for-nothing son.

At this moment, Li Heming, who was standing to the side, also realized the terrible trouble he had caused, and lowered his head, not daring to look at his father.
