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

Li Kaixin left the office and walked towards her parking space.

Zhou Zhiming had already finished maintaining the vehicle and was now looking down under the carport, studying it.

Hearing someone approaching, he looked up and saw Li Kaixin. He immediately put down his notebook and went to greet her.

"Master, where's your bicycle? Didn't you ride it today?" Zhou Zhiming looked behind his master and asked curiously.

These days, he's been helping his driver park the car every morning; it's almost become a habit.

Li Kaixin didn't hide anything: "I had Director Xie park my bicycle for me today. When I got to the station, I went to the stationmaster's office first."

"Oh!" Zhou Zhiming scratched his head. "I knew your time hadn't come yet, Master."

Li Kaixin smiled and said, "Zhiming, you go ahead and do your thing. I have something to do here."

After saying that, he quickly walked a few steps to his car and began to check the parts of the car one by one, according to what he remembered.

He hadn't really taken the assessment seriously before. With his level of ability, even if he couldn't pass the deputy level two, he was sure he could pass the level three.

But judging from what Station Chief Zhao is saying, if he fails to pass the deputy level two exam this time, not only will Secretary Liu and the station chief not fare well, but he himself will probably not have a good outcome either.

There's also the station manager's concern about being deliberately difficult. If the examiners really ask some tricky questions, he's genuinely unsure of himself.

Seeing his master's posture, Zhou Zhiming, who was standing to the side, did not dare to go forward to disturb him and continued to bury himself in his notes.

The other masters and apprentices also noticed the commotion on Li Kaixin's side.

The main problem was that he had disassembled a lot of parts and piled them up on the ground, which was really conspicuous.

Master Chen walked over with some curiosity, looked at the pile of parts, and asked, "Kaixin, what are you doing? Why have you taken all the parts off the car?"

Hearing the noise, Li Kaixin crawled out from under the car.

He stood up, dusted himself off, and explained, "Master Chen, someone from above is coming today to assess me as a second-level deputy driver."

"What!" Master Chen exclaimed in surprise, then asked with concern, "Kaixin, are you confident?"

"No." Li Kaixin shook his head with a wry smile.

Master Chen could understand that it was too difficult for his apprentice, who had only been there for such a short time, to surpass most people's experience of more than ten years.

He stepped forward and patted Li Kaixin on the shoulder, comforting him, "It's okay, if you don't pass this time, just consider it as gaining experience. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Master Chen." Li Kaixin still had a worried look on his face, but he didn't tell him the truth so as not to make him worry.

When Master Chen saw Li Kaixin's expression, he assumed that Li was afraid of failing the exam, so he comforted him for a few more minutes and then turned and left.

Seeing this, the other masters and apprentices also tried to approach Li Kaixin to inquire. Just then, Director Xie, who was coming out of the office, saw them and scolded them back.

However, they couldn't suppress their curiosity and asked Master Chen, who eventually told them the reason.

Time passed slowly, and after Li Kaixin had familiarized himself with all the parts of the car, the people sent from above finally arrived.

Three people came in total. Li Kaixin recognized one of them, Master Fang, who had a Level 2 driving skill from the last interview.

The other two looked to be around the same age as Master Fang, and both had upright and righteous appearances.

The three of them were first led to an office by a clerk who had been waiting at the entrance of the transportation station.

Then, Director Xie and Station Chief Zhao came out together and waited at the door.

Li Kaixin had already reinstalled the parts on the car. Seeing Director Xie and Station Chief Zhao waiting at the gate, he went up to them.

Director Xie forced a smile as he saw him approach: "Kaixin, are you ready?"

"That's about it. The rest is up to fate." Li Kaixin sighed, then asked, "Uncle Xie, who are you and the station chief waiting for? I saw they've already arrived, haven't they?"

"Secretary Liu and several other leaders will also be coming today," Station Chief Zhao chimed in, forcing a smile. "Cheer up, but don't be nervous."

"I understand, stationmaster." Li Kaixin nodded, looking towards the outside of the transport station.

The three of them stopped talking and stood quietly at the entrance of the transport station.

A short while later, two military jeeps drove into their view one after the other.

Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie walked quickly towards the two cars, with Li Kaixin following behind them.

As soon as the two jeeps came to a stop, six or seven people dressed in Zhongshan suits got out.

Secretary Liu stood side by side with a dignified middle-aged man, followed by four others.

Station Chief Zhao, all smiles, hurried forward and said, "Secretary Liu and Political Commissar Chen, you've worked hard. Welcome to the transportation station to inspect our work."

"Xiao Zhao, where's Comrade Li Kaixin from your station? Call him out so I can get to know him!" Political Commissar Chen said with a hearty laugh.

"Yes, yes!" Station Chief Zhao nodded repeatedly, then turned and beckoned to those behind him, "Comrade Li, come over here quickly and greet Political Commissar Chen!"

Upon being greeted, Li Kaixin immediately stepped forward, his expression respectful yet polite: "Greetings, Political Commissar Chen!"

Political Commissar Chen laughed heartily, turned to look at Secretary Liu, and joked, "Old Liu, you know what, the young man you recommended is really spirited. I'm starting to regret betting against you."

"Old Chen, it's not too late for you to regret it now. We can go back right now," Secretary Liu replied with a smile, unhurriedly.

Political Commissar Chen waved his hand with a smile: "Never mind, never mind, since he's already here, let's take this opportunity to see the talent of this young man."

Then, Political Commissar Chen turned to the people following behind him and asked with a smile, "Don't you all agree?"

"Yes, yes, Political Commissar Chen is right." The two men standing behind him hurriedly echoed, their faces full of flattery.

The other two remained silent, their expressions slightly grim.

From just a few words, Li Kaixin got the gist of it.

The one who ordered this harassment must be Political Commissar Chen in front of me.

Secretary Liu observed this scene, still smiling, and said, "Old Chen, let's not just stand here. Let them begin?"

"Sure, Lao Liu, you're in charge." Political Commissar Chen's smile deepened.

Seeing this, Secretary Liu immediately turned around and instructed, "Xiao Zhao, take Political Commissar Chen and the others over first. I'll have a chat with Comrade Li Kaixin first."

Station Chief Zhao responded and walked to Political Commissar Chen's side, saying respectfully, "Political Commissar Chen, please come with me."

Political Commissar Chen nodded slightly, signaling the two people behind him to follow Station Chief Zhao toward the area where the driver's license test had been conducted earlier.

After they had walked away, Secretary Liu turned around with a kind smile on his face: "Kaixin, how have you been lately? It's been quite a while since we last saw each other."

"Uncle Hongtao, I've been doing well lately!" Li Kaixin replied with a smile, then asked with concern, "Is Jianming's injury fully healed?"

This form of address slightly surprised the two people behind Secretary Liu.

"He's completely recovered." Secretary Liu nodded with relief, then a hint of apology appeared on his face. "Kaixin, I'm so sorry for dragging you into this."

"It's nothing, Uncle Hongtao," Li Kaixin shook his head, his expression calm. "You're being too polite."

"Okay, Kaixin!" Secretary Liu patted Li Kaixin on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You don't need to put too much pressure on yourself, just do your best."

After saying that, Li Kaixin, Secretary Liu, and the two people behind him walked towards the assessment site.
