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

The more Li Kaixin read, the redder her face became.

Station Master Zhao took in Li Kaixin's expression and asked with a smile, "How is it, Kaixin? Not bad, right?"

"Stationmaster, this is way too exaggerated." Li Kaixin put down the newspaper, somewhat embarrassed.

"Where is the exaggeration? Everything you did was real! The newspapers just embellished it a little," Station Chief Zhao said seriously.

"Yes, I'm happy."

Director Xie then chimed in, "When the time comes, you can't be modest when others ask. This matter isn't just about your personal honor and the transport station's honor; it's about setting an example for the entire nation."

Upon hearing this, Li Kaixin immediately understood. He stood up and said earnestly, "Station Chief, Uncle Xie, please rest assured, I will definitely not let the organization down."

Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie nodded in satisfaction when they saw that he understood immediately.

"Sit down, sit down. You understand, that's all. Don't be so serious." Station Chief Zhao smiled and raised his hand to signal, and the atmosphere relaxed.

Li Kaixin regained his composure and grinned, "Stationmaster, I just had to show my stance!"

As he spoke, he sat back down.

Station Chief Zhao picked up the teacup on his desk, took a sip, and then asked, "By the way, Kaixin, are you confident about passing the assessment for a Level 3 driver?"

"What's wrong, stationmaster?" Li Kaixin looked up, deliberately showing a hint of confusion on his face, but his heart was already pounding.

Could it really be what I'm thinking? If it is, then I'll save myself the trouble of waiting for the New Year.

Station Master Zhao put down his teacup and said solemnly:

"Since the newspaper has publicized that you have the technical level of deputy level two, after discussion, the higher-ups have decided to give you an opportunity to take an exam that allows you to skip a level."

"However, the minimum requirement from above is that you must have at least a Level 3 technical foundation. If you don't meet that, you'll miss this opportunity."

He paused, his gaze fixed on Li Kaixin's face: "Kaixin, give me a straight answer now, do you really have the confidence?"

Li Kaixin nodded firmly, "Station Master, just tell me when I can take the exam!"

"Good!" Station Chief Zhao smiled with satisfaction. "The timeframe is within this month. Someone from above will come to personally assess you then."

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Li Kaixin and Station Chief Zhao stopped talking and both looked towards the door.

"Please come in!" Director Xie responded from the side.

Then, a clerk in his twenties walked up and said, "Director Xie, Station Chief, Comrade Sun is here today to complete the formalities."

"Let him come! Why are you telling us all this?" Director Xie's smiling face immediately turned cold.

"He, he..." The clerk was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to continue.

Seeing this, Station Chief Zhao spoke calmly, "Xiao Zhao, just say what you have to say. What's so hard about it?"

Clerk Zhao then forced himself to say, "Director Xie, Station Chief, Comrade Sun said... that we must take him back the same way we invited him here in the first place."

"Otherwise, he'll just stay at the station and refuse to leave."

After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at the expressions of the two leaders.

"Bang!" Director Xie slammed his hand on the desk, his eyes blazing with anger. "That Sun Yingjun is simply going too far!"

The loud noise startled Zhao, the clerk who was looking down, so much that he trembled all over.

"Old Xie, calm down. Be mindful of your image as a leader," Station Chief Zhao advised, frowning.

Director Xie's chest heaved a few times: "Station Chief, you have no idea how infuriating this Sun Yingjun is!"

"Really?" Station Chief Zhao became interested and stood up. "Come on, let's go take a look together."

He really wanted to see what kind of person could make his old friend so angry.

Afterwards, Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie left the office together.

Li Kaixin and Clerk Zhao exchanged a glance and followed.

As soon as they reached the service window inside the station, they saw Sun Yingjun sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, muttering something.

"I don't care! It was your station that invited me from the county in the first place, and now you think you can just send me away with a few words? No way!"

The clerk who processed his paperwork looked troubled and didn't know what to do.

Director Xie's face darkened, and he was the first to push open the door and go inside.

Hearing the door open, Sun Yingjun glanced over and, seeing Director Xie, a provocative smile played on his lips: "Oh, isn't this the busy Director Xie? What brings you here?"

Director Xie's temper flared up immediately, and just as he was about to speak, Station Chief Zhao behind him raised his hand and gently pressed his arm.

He stepped forward, a smile on his face, and asked, "Comrade Sun Yingjun, did the procedures go smoothly?"

"Procedures? What procedures?" Sun Yingjun asked flippantly, then sized up Station Chief Zhao. "And who do you think you are, interfering in my business?"

Sun Yingjun had only been at the station for a few days and didn't know Station Master Zhao at all.

Station Chief Zhao only knew of Sun Yingjun's existence but hadn't had a chance to get to know him. The entire process of transferring Sun Yingjun was orchestrated by Director Xie.

Station Chief Zhao was visibly taken aback, and the smile on his face faded: "I am the station chief of the transportation station. Comrade Sun, your transfer was ultimately my decision."

"Station... Station Master?" Sun Yingjun involuntarily put his legs down.

But then she thought about how she was about to leave, and her tone hardened again: "So what if you're the station chief? If Director Xie doesn't personally take me back today, I won't sign this document."

Then, his eyes darted around, and he added, "But if you, stationmaster, were to deliver it in person, I wouldn't necessarily refuse to consider it."

Station Chief Zhao's smile immediately faltered.

Seeing this situation, Li Kaixin, who was standing outside the service window, knew that if things continued to stalemate, Station Chief Zhao would probably get so angry that he would have a stroke.

He had experienced Sun Yingjun firsthand; sometimes his thought process was simply not that of a normal person.

So he stepped forward and tentatively asked, "Stationmaster, how about I give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Station Chief Zhao did not speak, but simply nodded slightly.

With tacit approval, Li Kaixin revealed a sinister smile and slowly walked towards Sun Yingjun.

Upon seeing Li Kaixin's smile, Sun Yingjun began to tremble: "W-what do you want to do? We're at the station, you can't do anything reckless!"

"Yes, I know." Li Kaixin took out the silver needles from his pocket and twirled them between his fingers.

"Tell me, if I were to pierce your throat and make you mute, or even paralyzed, would anyone stand up for you?"

Sun Yingjun trembled even more violently, involuntarily shrinking back: "What...what do you want?"

Li Kaixin's expression changed, and she shouted sharply, "Then why don't you sign it!"

"Okay, I'll sign it, I'll sign it!"

Sun Yingjun immediately grabbed a pen and signed his name on the transfer form, afraid of being too slow.
