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

As they were talking, Station Chief Zhao had already stepped onto the stage, and Director Xie was also standing in front of the stage.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Station Chief Zhao's voice came from the stage.

When Station Chief Zhao spoke, the people below the stage all fell silent.

Once the room was quiet, Station Chief Zhao began to speak, initially expressing his gratitude and offering encouragement to everyone.

But when whispers arose from the audience again, Station Chief Zhao changed the subject:

"To ensure the safety of long-distance transportation in the future, the station has decided that, starting from this time, every licensed driver must take on an apprentice."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Li Kaixin and the other master craftsmen who had not yet accepted apprentices.

Immediately afterwards, six young people walked onto the stage from the side.

Seeing this, everyone understood: they had no choice but to accept this apprentice today.

"Comrade Li Kaixin, come up first and set an example for everyone." Station Chief Zhao smiled and waved to Li Kaixin.

Knowing there was no way to avoid it, Li Kaixin had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on stage.

The six young people on the stage were somewhat surprised by Li Kaixin's appearance; he was just too young.

Once Li Kaixin stood still, Director Xie, who was in front of the stage, began to introduce him to the six people.

No sooner had the introductions finished than an older apprentice stepped forward, clearly unconvinced: "Director Xie, he looks even younger than me. Is his skill lacking?"

"Yeah! Yeah!" The two people next to him nodded in agreement.

The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly turned cold.

Li Kaixin, Director Xie, and Station Chief Zhao all looked rather grim.

These words not only questioned Li Kaixin, but also slapped the faces of the two leaders.

Yang Hua'an, sitting in the audience, couldn't help but burst out laughing. He hadn't forgotten that Li Kaixin and Wu Tian were on the same side, and now was the perfect time to watch the show.

Station Chief Zhao on the stage gave Yang Hua'an a sharp look, and Yang Hua'an's smile instantly froze on his face.

Li Kaixin, realizing it was inconvenient to take action at this moment, merely glanced at the man and said in a calm tone:

"You're older than me, so what? Are you jealous because I became a master so young?"

She then looked him up and down, a hint of mockery in her voice: "It's no use being jealous; you're just a piece of trash."

Although these words are arrogant, Li Kaixin has the right to be arrogant.

Director Xie and Station Chief Zhao's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this, but neither of them said a word. They also harbored some disapproval of this upstart apprentice.

"You...you!"

The older apprentice seemed to have his secret exposed; his face turned bright red, and he was about to step forward when the two people beside him quickly pulled him back.

The two men realized the situation was turning around; the leader was clearly favoring the young worker, and if they continued to cause trouble, they might offend the leader.

They all regretted being the first to act.

Li Kaixin ignored the man's shouting and turned her gaze to the other three people on the stage.

When they saw Li Kaixin looking over, two of the apprentices instinctively avoided eye contact.

In their minds, they always felt that such a young master craftsman was probably not as skilled as those veteran craftsmen.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin understood what was going on.

He walked straight past the two men and stood before the young man who had been calmly looking at him.

"What's your name? Would you like to be my apprentice?" Li Kaixin asked, looking at him with a big smile.

Seeing that Li Kaixin was asking about him, Zhou Zhiming felt a surge of warmth in his heart and answered without hesitation, "Master, my name is Zhou Zhiming, and I'm willing to learn from you!"

After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Li Kaixin.

Seeing this, Li Kaixin's earlier displeasure dissipated considerably.

He patted Zhou Zhiming on the shoulder and nodded, saying, "My name is Li Kaixin, and I'll be your master from now on."

Of the other five people on stage, some wore expressions of schadenfreude, while others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Zhiming glanced at his companion's expression and couldn't help but sneer inwardly:

These people don't even consider that this driver is so young yet already a licensed driver; how could he not be truly skilled? They're just a bunch of short-sighted bumpkins.

Seeing that Li Kaixin had made her choice, Director Xie breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that something might go wrong, and quickly announced:

"Comrade Li Kaixin has already chosen his apprentice. Now, please come up to the stage one by one if you are a master who has not yet taken on an apprentice."

Then, Master Chen came up and chose one of the apprentices who had been keeping his head down and not saying a word, named Song He.

Yang Hua'an chose the older one who had previously had a falling out with someone, so they were kindred spirits.

After leaving the conference room, Li Kaixin, Master Chen, along with their newly accepted apprentices Song He and Zhou Zhiming, walked together.

Zhou Zhiming looked a little embarrassed. Just a moment ago at the meeting, everyone was on the same level, but now he had to call Song He "Uncle-Master".

Li Kaixin noticed Zhou Zhiming's discomfort and smiled as she spoke up to ease the tension:

"From now on, you can still address each other by our original names in private. Don't be too formal about seniority. You might be older than me, but your skills speak for themselves. When we're not in front of others, you can call me Brother Li."

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiming felt relieved and quickly nodded in agreement.

Then, Li Kaixin led Zhou Zhiming to the car.

Then, following the method Master Chen used to test him when he first arrived, he first asked a few basic questions about the vehicle.

Zhou Zhiming answered haltingly, barely managing to say anything coherent.

Li Kaixin immediately understood: this was a complete novice who hadn't even started learning yet, so he could only teach him step by step from the beginning.

In the following time, Li Kaixin started by talking about the most basic components in the driver's cab.

He pointed out each of the following: steering wheel, gear lever, brake, accelerator, and explained their functions.

Once Zhou Zhiming had roughly identified them all, Li Kaixin let him sit in the driver's seat and touch them himself to get a feel for them.

Of course, the car key was removed beforehand.

Time flies, and it's almost time to get off work.

Zhou Zhiming reluctantly got out of the driver's seat, secretly rejoicing: choosing this young driver was definitely the right decision.

After parting ways with Zhou Zhiming, Li Kaixin found Wu Tian, ​​asked him where and when they would have dinner that evening, and then quickly left the transport station.

On his way home, when no one was around, he took out a crucian carp and a rooster from the secret realm.

Thinking about the banquet I was going to that evening, I figured my family would at least have a good meal.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his father, Li Mingde, parking his bicycle, while his mother, Qin Xiuli, saw him.

After getting a bicycle, my parents get off work much earlier than other people in the neighborhood.

Li Kaixin stepped forward with a smile and handed the things in her hands to her mother: "Mom, you and Dad should cook something nice for dinner tonight. My colleagues are treating me to dinner, so I won't be eating at home."

Mother Qin Xiuli took the fish and chicken and nodded: "Okay, then come back soon too."

Then Li Kaixin greeted her father again and turned to leave the courtyard.
