Chapter 6: The Cold Beauty

Qian Mingguang hurriedly said: "Certainly, Chairman Gu, you can rest assured."

You are truly stubborn. Since you insist on continuing to run, I will not stop you. When you are exhausted and fall down, I will come back to drag you along. " After saying this, the security guard turned and left

The middle-aged man and the young woman who just arrived at the playground by car are Gu Changfeng and Gu Jialan. After finishing a meeting, Gu Changfeng suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a recruitment for security personnel today. With some free time on his hands, he took his beloved daughter to the playground to observe the recruitment situation

The group of applicants hurriedly followed Qian Mingguang into the backyard

At this time, only a little over 70 people remain committed to running

"I know her; I have seen her in magazines before. She is the only daughter of Gu Changfeng, the chairman of the Dingsheng Group, named Gu Jialan," the man said excitedly. Previously, he had only seen photos of Gu Jialan in magazines and newspapers, and today is the first time he has met her in person.

Qian Mingguang shouted through a loudspeaker: "I apologize to everyone, our company has clearly published the recruitment criteria on television. If you do not meet the criteria, I can only eliminate you."

Qian Mingguang shook his head: "I apologize, everyone. The recruitment criteria were personally established by our chairman, and I do not have the authority to change them. Please leave, everyone."

With each lap completed, some individuals become so exhausted that they withdraw from the activity

"Hey, if you’re not going to run, just step aside and don’t block the track," a security guard shouted at Lin San.

Continuously, people were running past Lin Sanzhao, and before long, Lin San had fallen to the last position.

Qian Mingguang explained the rules and then ordered the more than 300 candidates to run together, completing a total of 25 laps, which amounts to 10,000 meters.

Wow! Isn't that the only daughter of the chairman of the Dingsheng Group who just walked into the building?" a man in a shirt exclaimed

Lin San pretended not to hear and continued to run with gritted teeth

Lin San turned his head with great difficulty and saw a luxury car slowly entering the playground. The car door opened, and a middle-aged man and a young woman stepped out. Upon seeing the young woman, Lin San's entire body trembled, and his mind became clear; it was Gu Jialan.

Ah? We still need to eliminate over 200 people? Everyone's expression changed to one of extreme displeasure upon hearing this

Ah? So strict? The crowd began to whisper among themselves

Qian Mingguang shook his head and did not say anything further

As soon as Qian Mingguang announced the start of the run, some people eagerly dashed out, followed by others who began to run as well

Are you all ready? If you are ready, then follow me to the playground," said Qian Mingguang

After running 10 laps, Lin San also began to feel somewhat tired, and his running speed started to slow down. However, Lin San still gritted his teeth and continued to run

Qian Mingguang held a timer, standing at the edge of the track to supervise the crowd running. Those who violated the rules were immediately removed from the track by security.

Gu Jialan stood quietly to one side, without speaking. Gu Jialan is a particularly aloof person; apart from Gu Changfeng, she is cold towards others. In her circle, she also has a nickname, which is "Cold Beauty"

The moment the beautiful woman appeared, Lin San was completely stunned, repeatedly murmuring in his heart: My goddess from my dreams... Stepping down from the Mercedes-Benz was none other than Gu Changfeng's daughter, the richest person in Blue State, whom Lin San had seen just two days ago.

"Everyone, let's go to the playground," Qian Mingguang shouted, turning to walk towards the backyard of the building

Qian Mingguang quickly ran in front of the middle-aged man, bending at a 90-degree angle, with his buttocks raised high, respectfully greeting him. Observing Qian Mingguang's respectful demeanor, one could infer that the identity of the middle-aged man was undoubtedly significant.

"The goddess in my dream looked at me, the goddess in my dream looked at me!" Lin San said excitedly

22 circles, Lin San silently murmured a phrase, his body swaying as he walked. Lin San no longer had the strength to run, he could only walk slowly

The eliminated individuals are very unwilling to accept their fate, clamoring and refusing to leave

The area of the backyard is quite large, comparable to a large sports field, equipped with a complete set of sports facilities such as basketball hoops and parallel bars, and a running track has also been planned around it

"Gu Jialan?" Lin San repeated, "What a name full of charm."

Sweat slowly trickled into Lin San's eyes, and waves of stinging pain pierced his nerves. Lin San dared not wipe his eyes with his hands, as they were also covered in sweat; wiping his eyes would only make the discomfort worse.

Lin San turned around and glared at the security guard: "Who said I’m not running anymore? I’m just taking a break!" After saying this, he turned and started running again. At that moment, Lin San felt a surge of energy throughout his body, and he kept shouting in his heart: "For my dream goddess, I will give it my all!" Lin San continued to accelerate, like a gust of wind, crazily sprinting down the track. Soon, he caught up with the person running ahead.

"I can do it... I will definitely do it..." Lin San stopped in his tracks, bent over, resting his hands on his knees, mouth agape as he struggled to breathe. Lin San felt that he truly could not hold on any longer; the only reason he was still standing was sheer willpower. At this moment, Lin San felt his head was incredibly heavy, and his eyelids were unbearably weighty...

The security personnel checked each individual's identification and educational certificates, and surprisingly found that more than half of the people did not meet the requirements. Some were either too old or too young, while others lacked the necessary educational qualifications. In the end, only a little over 300 people remained on site

In order to pass the assessment, Lin San exerted all his strength to run, quickly leaving a large group of people behind.

Suddenly, Gu Jialan glanced over at Lin San, who was standing dazed on the runway. For a moment, she was taken aback, but soon shifted her gaze elsewhere.

A series of car honks sounded.

At this moment, a security guard approached and supported Lin San, saying, "If you can't hold on any longer, I will help you leave and run away."

Since Gu Jialan appeared on the playground, Lin San has become more spirited, his breathing has become smoother, and his body no longer sways

Qian Mingguang looked at Lin San, who was on the verge of collapse, and smirked: "This person's willpower is quite strong, but unfortunately, his physical strength is lacking."

Lin San came to his senses and reached out to pull the man: "Brother, do you know the woman who just went in?"

Only then did Gu Jialan reach out to link arms with the middle-aged man, walking towards the runway. Gu Jialan resembled a little bird nestled beside the middle-aged man, her face displaying a smile of happiness

"We will not leave. If you do not allow us to enter the Dingsheng Group to work today, we will stay right here at the entrance," shouted the crowd of eliminated candidates.

More than 300 people were running simultaneously on the playground, creating a truly spectacular scene

Lin San was running slowly, his clothes soaked with sweat, and sweat continuously dripped down his face. His breathing had become extremely labored, and Lin San felt as if his lungs were about to burst. Each step he took was incredibly difficult. Lin San knew he had reached his limit; if he continued running, it was likely to become dangerous. However, he felt a sense of reluctance to give up. Yet, not giving up was simply not an option.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has completed 20 laps, with 5 laps remaining

"We sincerely wish to work for the Dingsheng Group; please, have mercy and give us a chance," shouted the eliminated candidates.

Time flies swiftly; in the blink of an eye, more than half an hour has passed. Initially, over 300 people were running, but now only a little over 100 remain, gritting their teeth and continuing to run, while the remaining more than 200 have voluntarily withdrawn

Lin San ran while encouraging himself: "Lin San, you can do it, you will definitely succeed. If you truly want to see the goddess of your dreams again, you must persevere. You have already completed 21 laps; with a little more effort, you will soon reach the finish line"

"We will conduct a physical fitness test, specifically running. There is a playground in the backyard of our group, and shortly, I will lead everyone to the playground for the run. The first 50 participants will be considered qualified, while those beyond the 50th place will be eliminated entirely," said Qian Mingguang.

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly: "This time the company is recruiting security personnel, and we need elite troops. You must ensure the selection is rigorous"

Qian Mingguang frowned and said: "I remind everyone, if you do not leave, I will call the police and report that you are obstructing my company's operations"

Qian Mingguang respectfully stood before Gu Changfeng, carefully sitting down to report: "Chairman Gu, today over a thousand candidates came to participate in the recruitment, and after multiple rounds of screening, only more than 70 remain..."

Upon hearing that Qian Mingguang was going to report to the police, the eliminated individuals felt somewhat guilty. They cursed a few times and then dispersed. While finding a good job is certainly important, it is not worth going to prison for the sake of employment

Qian Mingguang also noticed Lin San's situation and shouted loudly: "If you can't hold on, then just withdraw"

Qian Mingguang saw a beautiful woman and hurriedly ran down the steps, respectfully greeting her: "Hello, Miss."

Lin San pushed aside the security guard, shaking his head: "I... can still hold on..."

Long-distance running is the most effective way to enhance physical endurance. Over a distance of a few hundred meters, the differences between individuals may not be apparent, but once the distance exceeds one kilometer, the disparities among people become evident. Two-thirds of the crowd begins to breathe heavily, and their running speed starts to decrease, while only a few individuals continue to run vigorously.

The security guard said: "You can't sacrifice your life for work. You are already exhausted; if you keep running, it will be dangerous."

"You are so... so verbose. I know my own body very well." Lin San gasped heavily, his body swaying even more violently.

Qian Mingguang addressed the remaining more than 300 individuals, saying: "This time, our Dingsheng Group is looking to recruit a total of 30 security personnel, which means that over 200 of you will need to be eliminated. I hope everyone is mentally prepared for this."

The beautiful woman slightly nodded, lifted her head, and walked into the building with confidence

At that moment, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz slowly came to a stop in front of the building. The car door opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in a pure white long dress stepped out.

Lin San also secretly grinned, the competition is truly intense
