This was even more genuine than Gao Fei's earlier act of considering the transport team's needs.
Gao Fei opened his mouth, wanting to point out Li Baichuan's mistakes, but he knew in his heart that it would be useless to say anything.
What does it mean that the minister told him to go back and rest? How long is his rest period? What should be done if he is not allowed to return indefinitely?
"Minister, I think I'm fine and can still work." Gao Fei knew things were going badly, so he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Comrade, didn't you just say you were seriously injured? Now you're saying you're fine."
"You mean you were lying just now? Our Ministry of Transport doesn't need people who lie all the time." Minister Qi frowned.
The people who came with Gao Fei were nodding along just now, but now they just want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
They're afraid of getting implicated; they're all out of their minds for joining Gao Fei in causing trouble.
This will definitely leave a bad impression on the minister, who is clearly trying to protect Li Baichuan.
They then realized that Li Baichuan was not someone they could touch.
"I...I, Minister, I was wrong. I felt a lot of pain just now, but I feel fine now. I can still work."
Gao Fei was covered in sweat; he was now afraid of losing his job.
"Hmph, go back first." Minister Qi ignored them and dismissed them.
As soon as he finished speaking, the secretary who had been standing guard by the door rushed over and took the group away.
Gao Fei and his companions became even more panicked seeing the minister's attitude; they didn't know how the minister planned to deal with them.
When they saw the security team from the Ministry of Transport approaching with dark faces, they dared not utter another word.
The head of the security team was in a real bind; he had only gone out for a meal when the incident happened.
Normally, there's not a soul around in the minister's office. Have these people lost their minds? Daring to cause trouble in the minister's office?
"Hurry up and go." Ignoring Gao Fei and the others' pale faces, the group dragged them to the transport team.
"Director Chen, you need to keep your people in line. How dare they cause trouble for the minister? You're in for a scolding."
The captain of the security team saw Director Chen hand over the people.
They also mentioned that while several people on duty were getting food, these people took the opportunity to go to the minister's office to complain.
Director Chen almost couldn't catch his breath after hearing that.
"Have you... have you all been kicked in the head by a donkey?" Director Chen glanced at the captain of the security team and pulled a few people in first.
Then he politely saw the security team members off, and said that he would personally explain things to the minister.
"Tell me, who started this?" Director Chen looked at the group of people in disbelief.
They used to be so quiet, but I never expected them to be so bold as to go and cause trouble for the minister.
The people over there all kept their heads down, not daring to look at Director Chen, but their eyes all glanced at Gao Fei almost imperceptibly.
Director Chen had no idea what was going on, and he looked at Gao Fei with a belly full of anger.
"Gao Fei, tell me what you want to do, and what complaints do you have about our transport team?"
Director Chen was surprised that it was Gao Fei, who was usually the most perceptive of people's expressions, who started it. What was he planning to do?
Suddenly remembering what had happened some time ago, he frowned.
"You all go out first, Gao Fei stays here." With that thought in mind, Director Chen sent the others away.
The group was terrified when they heard the director tell them to leave. Did this mean they wouldn't be held responsible?
They all ran incredibly fast, no one cared about Gao Fei anymore. Even if you beat them to death next time, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble with him again.
"Speak, what do you want to do?" Director Chen didn't know what had happened, but he instinctively felt it was related to work.
Was he going there to complain about him? To say that he accepted gifts?
Hmph, those things were returned to him, he can't afford to smear him now.
"Director Chen, please help me. Please plead with the minister for me." Gao Fei knew he had run into a tough opponent this time.
The minister is clearly protecting Li Baichuan, and he might actually try to get rid of him in the end just to avenge him.
He was completely at a loss whenever he thought about it.
"Tell me what happened first," Director Chen said, shaking off his hand.
It doesn't seem like they're complaining about him, otherwise he wouldn't have the nerve to beg him.
"I...I was just bewitched. I only said a few words to Comrade Li, and in the end he beat me up."
This time, Gao Fei didn't dare to embellish the story anymore. He simply recounted how he provoked Li Baichuan and was then kicked away by him.
Unwilling to give up, he went to the minister to complain again. In the end, the minister told him to go back and rest, not missing a single word.
"Are you out of your mind? I told you guys the day Comrade Li came that we should get along well and teach each other properly. You ignored me, and now you dare to provoke him?"
Director Chen couldn't understand it. Was he crazy?
He had secretly spoken to everyone, telling them that the man's surname was Li, and that they were out of their minds for provoking him.
Saying that someone can't afford to eat, yet expecting them to eat leftovers—the thought of that scenario gives Director Chen a headache.
"Director Chen, I acted impulsively. You know me. I didn't mean any harm. Please help me plead with the minister. He told me to go back and rest, but something about what he said sounded off."
Gao Fei thought that only Director Chen could help him now, after all, he had begged and pleaded with everyone he knew in the past two months and they had given him quite a lot of things.
Even though they were all returned later, the friendship remained.
"Hmph, you're impulsive? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just feel that someone else is taking up the driver's position, and that it should have been yours."
"Gao Fei, don't you think about his identity? His surname is Li, and he is a descendant of the Li family who protects the country. He is the only descendant."
"Just based on the old marshal's contributions to the country, and the Li family's loyalty and bravery, even if Li Baichuan causes a huge upheaval, the higher-ups will step in to protect him."
"It's just a driver's job. You think this position requires a lot of effort, but to them it's just a matter of talking."
"Don't even mention giving him the position. Even if the Department of Transportation didn't need anyone, there would be no shortage of people for any position. As long as someone wants to join, they can even take the minister's position."
"I don't expect you to fawn over him. He's not putting on airs and is seriously learning things. But you're the one who's causing trouble for him."
“The Li family keeps a low profile. Since he came in, have you seen him do anything wrong because of his status?”
"The minister doesn't dare to step forward either. I just don't know why he came to the Ministry of Transport. He just lets people stay here quietly."
"What do you think it is? It's because Comrade Li made arrangements that he's willing to live as an ordinary person. You really think of him as an ordinary person?"
"You're not stupid, you're just too bold. Don't even mention you, the minister wouldn't dare say a word to him. Where do you get your confidence?"
Director Chen was now seething with anger, and he was like a fire dragon spewing fury at Gao Fei.
