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

Meanwhile, Director Xie and Chu Yunfeng were still arguing.

Director Xie sighed, feigning difficulty:

"Old Chu, our station received the task of expanding its workforce a few days ago, and we're still short-staffed!"

"I don't care!"

Chu Yunfeng resorted to shamelessness, "Old Xie, if you don't give it to me today, I'll apply to the organization to come back. It's no fun being a bachelor station chief."

These words struck at Director Xie's weak spot, and he dared not speak again.

He had been working as deputy director for five years and dreamed of becoming director.

Now that he finally has a chance, if Chu Yunfeng really comes back, then his chances of getting a permanent position will be indefinitely delayed.

"Old Xie, actually I don't want to force you either."

Seeing that he remained silent, Chu Yunfeng softened his tone: "Is my request for the person also on the organization's orders?"

Station Chief Zhao, standing to the side, understood that Chu Yunfeng had clearly come prepared this time, and it seemed he wouldn't be able to avoid paying a price.

"Old Chu, just tell me straight, how many masters do you want?"

"Not many, five will do." Chu Yunfeng smiled and held up five fingers.

"Five?" Station Chief Zhao frowned again. "Old Chu, aren't you asking for too many? Can you reduce the number?"

"Old Zhao, five is still a lot?"

Chu Yunfeng raised an eyebrow and teased:

"Back then, I brought over thirty experienced workers from the station to the Northwest, and you didn't even blink an eye. Now you're hesitant to take even five?"

"How dare you say that!"

Upon hearing this, Station Chief Zhao said irritably, "Ever since you took all the station's technicians to the Northwest, has our station only just recovered?"

"Alright, Lao Zhao, I'm not going to argue with you anymore." Chu Yunfeng put away his smile, looking like he wouldn't leave until you agreed.

"Give me a straight answer: five, is that okay or not?"

Station Chief Zhao did not agree immediately, but lowered his head to think about it.

After what seemed like an eternity, he finally raised his head and said:

"I can give you the person, but let's make this clear first: if you come back asking for the person again, then it's my fault for turning against you."

"Don't worry about that!"

Chu Yunfeng patted his chest: "I, Chu Yunfeng, still have some pride. Today is definitely the last time I'll come here."

"Alright, I hope you keep your word!"

Station Master Zhao nodded slightly, then turned to Director Xie and instructed, "Old Xie, have all the workers in the station gather in the conference room and see which ones are willing to go."

Director Xie nodded and turned to walk towards the bicycle shed. Station Chief Zhao then led Chu Yunfeng to the conference room first.

Before long, Director Xie arrived at the platform outside the bicycle shed.

He clapped his hands and called out to the people inside, "Everyone, put down what you're doing and gather in the conference room immediately."

The workers at the station had overheard part of what happened, but didn't ask any further questions.

They all put down what they were doing and walked towards the conference room.

In the conference room, Station Chief Zhao and Chu Yunfeng were already standing on the stage.

The workers came in one after another, and soon the entire conference room was full.

Zhou Zhiming and Li Kaixin sat together and chatted quietly.

"Master, who do you think will be leaving the station this time?" Zhou Zhiming leaned close to Li Kaixin's ear and whispered.

He only wanted to stay by his master's side as an apprentice and had no intention of becoming a full-fledged apprentice, let alone being transferred to another place.

"Don't worry, you're a newly promoted employee, this leader probably won't even look at you," Li Kaixin comforted him, calmly looking at the stage.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiming breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Once all the drivers at the station have arrived.

Station Chief Zhao on the stage cleared his throat and got straight to the point:

"I've called everyone here today because I have something to announce."

He paused, then looked around at the audience:

"Our Director Chu is about to be transferred to another location as station chief, and we urgently need to transfer five experienced workers from here to provide support. Is there anyone here willing to volunteer?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience fell silent.

The workers at the station looked at each other, but no one spoke first.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfeng quickly stepped forward and said loudly:

"Masters, don't worry, the treatment you receive at my place will be the same as here, or even better."

"Maybe you can become a team leader or director or something after you go there."

After he finished speaking, some of the younger masters in the audience were intrigued and began to whisper among themselves.

After hearing this, Li Kaixin was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Why does Director Chu, like people from later generations, like to make empty promises? A director is a leadership position; they have absolutely nothing to do with a driver.

Station Master Zhao saw that no one responded from below the platform and was about to speak again when suddenly someone stood up.

"Stationmaster, I'm willing to go."

The seated chefs all turned around and saw that the first one to speak was Chef Ma.

He became somewhat nervous when he noticed everyone's gazes directed at him.

Chu Yunfeng on the stage lit up and quickly waved to him, "Alright! Master, please come up to the stage first."

Without hesitation, Master Ma strode up onto the stage.

He wasn't actually moved by Chu Yunfeng's words; he simply wanted to leave on his own.

Having offended Li Kaixin in Northeast China and witnessed his ruthless and decisive nature, he had been feeling uneasy for the past few days, fearing that Li Kaixin might deal with him one day.

Once Master Ma took the stage, a chain reaction immediately ensued.

One or two young masters couldn't resist the temptation and stood up.

"Station manager, I want to go too!"

"Director Chu, we desperately hope you can take us in!"

Seeing this, Chu Yunfeng's face was practically splitting with laughter, and he quickly beckoned them to come up on stage.

However, Director Xie and Station Chief Zhao, who were standing to the side, did not look too good.

In the blink of an eye, four masters were already standing on the stage.

Apart from Master Ma, the other three were all young people who had recently been promoted to full-time employees.

"Old Zhao, Old Xie, if more masters are willing to come with me, don't stop them," Chu Yunfeng said with a smile.

Director Xie snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "Old Chu, you should have the ability first before you talk."

Sure enough, no one came up for a long time after he finished speaking.

Chu Yunfeng's expression gradually turned from expectant to grim. His words just now felt like an invisible slap in the face.

He coughed twice and then called out loudly again, "Masters, we're really short-staffed at the new station. Is there anyone else willing to go?"

As always, the audience was completely silent, not a sound could be heard.

"Old Chu, you can't do it either?" Director Xie joked, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Yunfeng ignored him and continued to look at the audience.
