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

Director Xie didn't waste any time and led the man directly onto the stage.

If we're talking about who's feeling the most upset right now, aside from Master Ma, it's probably those three young masters who volunteered to go on stage earlier.

Seeing the hostile gazes from below the stage, they secretly regretted agreeing so easily.

I should have waited and seen first. Now it's too late to back out.

"Old Chu, all five are here. You can take them with you!" Director Xie led the man to Chu Yunfeng.

"Don't worry, Lao Xie!"

Chu Yunfeng rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "I have something else I'd like to discuss with you. How about I only take four masters with me?"

"What is it?" Director Xie looked at him warily.

Although it sounds like they're making a profit, after dealing with Chu Yunfeng for so many years, they know that this guy never suffers a loss.

This sudden change of heart shows he was up to no good.

Station Chief Zhao, who was standing to the side, knew exactly what Chu Yunfeng was planning to do, but he did not stop him.

He believed that if Lao Xie heard this, his reaction would definitely be stronger than his own, since Lao Xie's relationship with Li Kaixin was much closer than his own.

Chu Yunfeng leaned closer, his voice much softer: "Old Xie, I've got my eye on that master at the station named Kaixin. How about I trade two masters for one of yours?"

"No way!" Director Xie refused outright, his face changing color. "I can consider anyone else, but not him."

"Old Xie, if you don't agree, I might..."

"If you're coming back, then come back. At worst, I'll just stay as my deputy director."

Director Xie interrupted him, her attitude more resolute than ever before: "Anyway, don't even think about being happy, there's no way you'll have a chance."

Chu Yunfeng's smile froze.

He thought that unleashing this trump card would force Director Xie to compromise.

Unexpectedly, even the position of director couldn't sway him; he insisted on keeping this mentor named Kaixin.

"Old Chu, don't waste your time." Station Chief Zhao stepped forward with a smile and patted him on the shoulder. "Even if we agree, you can't take them away if they don't want to."

"Alright, I won't insist."

Chu Yunfeng sighed, "But Lao Xie, Lao Zhao, you two have to tell me what kind of abilities this Kaixin has!"

He didn't actually intend to poach anyone; he just couldn't understand why a young mentor would be worth protecting so much by his two old friends.

Station Chief Zhao and Director Xie exchanged a glance.

Director Xie slowly began to speak, briefly recounting Li Kaixin's experiences in the transportation team over the past year.

Chu Yunfeng became increasingly alarmed as he listened, eventually freezing in place.

"Old Chu, now you know, right?"

Station Master Zhao smiled as he looked at his expression. "Kaixin is not only the face of our transportation station, but he's also on the radar of the higher-ups."

"Besides, he's leaving, and the military region is asking us for him. What will we say then?"

After a while, Chu Yunfeng finally came to his senses.

He looked up at Station Chief Zhao, his tone sincere: "Old Zhao, I admit I misjudged him. Could you introduce me to him?"

"No problem!" Station Chief Zhao readily agreed, turning to wave to the audience below.

"Come up here, Kaixin. This Director Chu would like to get to know you."

With Li Kaixin's keen hearing, he could hear the three people's conversation clearly.

Therefore, when he was called by Station Chief Zhao, he did not hesitate, stood up and walked towards the stage.

At this moment, all the masters present focused their attention on Li Kaixin again.

At the same time, Director Xie on the stage addressed the audience, saying, "Everyone, the matter has been resolved. You may all stand up and leave now."

Very few people were able to leave; most wanted to hear what the stage was going to talk about.

Li Kaixin had just stepped onto the stage.

Chu Yunfeng couldn't wait to come forward and extended his hand: "Master Li, I just heard Old Zhao and Old Xie talk about you. You are truly a promising young man."

"Not at all, Director Chu, you flatter me. I'm just a driver who knows a few other skills," Li Kaixin said, quickly shaking his hand.

"Master Li, you're being too modest," Chu Yunfeng replied with a smile. "I passed the deputy second-level exam in two months, was featured in the newspaper, and am now a regimental-level cadre in the military region."

"If I could do any one of these things at your age, I'd be laughing in my sleep."

Li Kaixin didn't respond, but listened with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfeng simply invited, "Master Li, would you like to come work for me? Our new station is in dire need of someone like you."

He was really tempted now. If he could poach Li Kaixin, wouldn't that be the gold standard for his transportation station?

"I'm sorry, Director Chu, I have no intention of leaving here." Li Kaixin shook his head, his tone calm.

Upon seeing this, Director Xie quickly stepped forward and stood between the two: "Old Chu, you've gone too far! We kindly introduced Kaixin to you, and you're trying to poach her right in front of us."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunfeng awkwardly touched his nose. He had acted impulsively and almost forgot that Old Zhao and Old Xie were still standing nearby.

Station Chief Zhao, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly and said, "Alright, Lao Chu, you've met the person, so we won't keep you any longer."

Chu Yunfeng knew it wouldn't look good to stay any longer, so he nodded happily to Li Kaixin:

"Master Li, let's talk again another time."

After saying that, he quickly left the conference room with the five workers.
