Section 1

I had high hopes, wishing for a warm story, with an ending that aligned with my desires. However, the reality proved that those days filled with anticipation were merely a necessary path of an unrequited love that ended without resolution

If life were only as it was at first sight, may there be no years to look back on

Then, four guns fired simultaneously

His voice was deep and serious, and his demeanor was as proud as that of a king descending, just like the stride he had when he entered the conference room earlier

Lu Chengyuan said with a smile, "I basically agree."

She is a well-known figure in the police force, yet the outside world has no chance to see her true appearance. She is the only female member of the special assault team, He Rao

As the president, Xing Ye had no objections, clearly indicating his agreement with his son's request

Xilin pushed the door open and entered, holding a magazine in his hand. Gone was the previous teasing tone that encouraged the higher-ups; his expression was now serious.

The reasoning is indeed correct, but: "You leave others out in the training field, like targets for you to shoot at, and those unfortunate ones who are 'shot dead' can hardly rest in peace"

He raised his gaze, his eyes bright: "Shouldn't the selection process be innovative? Otherwise, those who were eliminated last year and are making a comeback this year would have already figured out our methods?"

At this moment, it is impossible to ascertain

Xing Tang raised his head only after signing the documents in hand: "What is it?"

Red envelopes, the eternal trump card

Perhaps due to the president's usual style, Xing Ye did not immediately express his satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the entire plan, but instead turned his attention to Xing Tang: "What does young General Xing think?"

A crisp gunshot suddenly rang out, landing at the feet of a slightly distracted team member in the 12 o'clock direction.

The man before her had a deep-set profile, with thick eyebrows and a sharp gaze. At this moment, his thin lips were tightly closed, exuding an air of natural authority as he awaited her response

In the faint scent of gunpowder, a male voice once again resounded: "Hit the fine strings at the 3, 6, 9, and 12 o'clock positions on the curtain wall within one minute, and you will earn extra points. The timer starts now"

At this time, the magazine has not been on the market for long, and the sales volume is limited. If we were to recall it now, the quantity that would flow back into the market would not be significant, and thus the impact would naturally be minimal, making it relatively easy to handle. However, just when Xilin thought that General Xiaoxing would decisively say "yes," the latter coldly remarked, "As an assistant, you should understand the principles of priority and urgency."

In that case, he did not continue.

At the age of thirty, Xing Tang, the son of the family, has finally secured the position of Deputy General Manager at the Datang Group, which can be described as a fulfillment of his ambitions and aspirations

Unfortunately, the curtain wall remained unscathed after one minute

Basically agree? He Rao feels as if there is a conspiracy.

"I believe everyone will not mind us welcoming you in this manner." With the disguise still on, He Rao stood in front of a group of young men who looked fierce as wolves and tigers, his voice clear: "From this moment on, the fifth phase of the Special Assault Team training camp is officially launched"

It is a sniper! The team members with combat experience reacted first, alerting their teammates while quickly seeking cover

Xilin placed the magazine in front of him, "This is the final issue of the weekend journal for this month, featuring you ... ... "

As time passed, the team members exchanged glances with one another

Secret order? Feng Jinxiao was amused: "I would like to favor my male disciple, but there is none to favor."

Anyone who knows anything about Xing Tang is aware that this man, who has risen from an ordinary employee to the high position of vice president, is a perfectionist with high standards. However, it was unexpected that his demands would be so stringent. After all, "Blue Ocean International" is the talk of the town. Not to mention how to avoid media interviews, the primary challenge is to ensure the satisfaction of all the owners of the thousands of apartments, which is quite a daunting task

The gunfire continues

Regarding such results, Lu Chengyuan, as the deputy team leader, expressed some dissatisfaction: "He Rao, do you have a bias against men? Not to mention the great effort we put into bringing over the top talents that various units were trying to keep under wraps, you come in with such harsh measures right away. It's not easy for the boss to explain this to their leaders, isn't it just playing with people?"

They all entered the training ground armed with sidearms, possessing the conditions and capabilities to resist under ambush. Those who attempt to survive for just one minute to pass are not suitable to remain in our team. " Herau had an innocent expression: "Moreover, I am merely promoting your harsh style towards rookies.

The rhythm of being a special forces soldier

Is it unintentional or a deliberate reminder

Thus, the selection process for the special task force, held once a year, has officially commenced. On the very first day of the training, to be precise, just before the formal training began, forty-two elite members selected from various police teams had already been eliminated

Just one minute, it is not difficult

It turns out that the snipers were all ambushed within the training ground, existing in the form of camouflage.

As long as you persist for one minute, you will succeed

That crisp and powerful voice clearly came from the lips of a woman

After a long time, Xing Tang muttered to himself in a self-deprecating manner, "Impatience is unbearable." He then withdrew his gaze and picked up his phone

If not her, then who else

On Monday, in City G, it was a sunny day, and Xing Ye attended the company meeting as per usual. Ten minutes before the meeting was scheduled to start, the impeccably dressed executives were already in place, sitting upright and waiting for the boss's arrival. At exactly 9:00, the main door of the corridor opened, and Xing Ye, nearly sixty years old and in high spirits, walked in steadily. Walking alongside him was the newly appointed vice president, Xing Tang, dressed in a dark handmade suit.

Despite not showing any obvious signs, the mere title of "Little Xing" has already successfully established authority for his son

In an instant, the originally neat and orderly queue scattered into nothingness

Xilin is the assistant appointed by the former president to General Manager Xiao Xing. With her comfort and encouragement, the executives felt a slight sense of relief

Lu Chengyuan despised him: "That little ambition!"

However, it is indeed difficult to find a concealed spot in the vast training ground

After all, there is plenty of time ahead

As Lu Chengyuan passed by the training ground, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the impulse to strike him twice in order to uphold the image of the police force

Including the players who were directly eliminated, everyone present admired her precise marksmanship

Xing Tang has never been a person with a good temper, and his action of throwing the magazine makes it clear that his anger is brewing. Xi Lin stood upright: "I have confirmed with the public relations department that we have not received any notification prior to this."

Xing Tang's gaze lingered briefly on the clear profile photo of himself on the cover, before he picked it up and flipped through the pages. After a moment of silence, he slammed the magazine onto the desk with a 'bang', his expression displeased

Recently, numerous reports in major newspapers and magazines have focused the attention of the entire city on the newly completed "Blue Ocean International" in the southern city. This commercial center, which integrates residential, office, and shopping entertainment spaces, was developed by a real estate company under the Datang Group, which invested billions to acquire the land and took three years to complete. It has evidently become a classic project leading the development of City G

Xilin understood the meaning behind the phrase "handle it personally." She nodded in agreement on the surface, but inwardly she couldn't help but feel a sense of lament for the impending fate of the magazine, which was about to be suspended and sealed. Finally, she said: "I will arrange for the collection of this issue immediately"

The subtle changes in expression were not of concern to Xing Tang. He spoke in a calm and measured tone: "Using the opportunity of the housing handover during the property exchange to promote the pre-sale transaction volume of new developments is a good idea. After all, the trade fair is essentially a review of the strength of real estate developers across the city. As for the media, they should not be allowed on-site during the concentrated handover phase, and the handover team will not accept interviews. Furthermore, let me clarify that the goal of the handover is not to reduce or lower customer complaints. Under the condition that the pre-inspection of the property meets standards, the satisfaction rate for the handover must reach one hundred percent, in order to fulfill our commitment to the homeowners regarding the 'Worry-Free Housing' agreement."

Is there really anyone who has hit the target

However, the ringtone rang completely twice without anyone answering

It is precisely in line with Chai Yu's intentions

The executives' gazes exhibited subtle changes

one second, three seconds, five seconds

Seeing Manager Chen wipe his sweat, Xilin stepped forward to alleviate his pressure: "The 'Blue Ocean International' has finally been completed after three years, and everyone has made significant contributions. Now we are left with the final battle; think about the year-end bonuses, we must muster our energy to push through.

Feng Jinxiao gave the opportunity to speak freely: "What? Do you oppose it?"

The surviving team members quickly rushed to the optimal shooting position, located one hundred meters away from the curtain wall, and fired continuously while standing with their weapons

On the training ground behind the main office building, the team members dressed in training uniforms are in a state of alert.

As the one-minute timer ended, amidst the curling white smoke, nearly half of the team members were hit

"It can't be that simple; you must have received an order," Lu Chengyuan said, feeling unconvinced. "Boss, you have a tendency to favor your female disciples. Last year, when I was in charge of the training camp, you never issued any secret orders."

The meeting room was silent as a grave

The air is thick with gunpowder smoke

The surroundings were silent, with only the sound of everyone's breathing clearly audible

The tacit understanding with the master is always present, and He Rao gave Lu Chengyuan a knowing glance, his expression rare with a hint of playfulness: "Team Leader Lu, your opportunity has arrived"

In the midst of the chaos, a powerful male voice resonated through the air: "Those struck within one minute will be eliminated"

That gentleman seemed not to have heard, and with his hands on his hips, he shouted sternly: "The old lady selling popsicles outside is better than you all, hurry up and run!"

The camouflage techniques of the special assault team are indeed well-deserved of their reputation

Being with the team leader, the energetic Comrade Chai Yu does not need to exert all his strength, which is simply unworthy of Lu Chengyuan's ambiguous gaze. Even the brothers who grew up with Chai Yu could not bear the exhaustion and gritted their teeth to curse him: "Heartless in the presence of the opposite sex! Beast!"

The meeting was chaired by the assistant to the general manager, Xilin. After the necessary opening remarks, the marketing department began to elaborate on the work plan for the upcoming month. The final presentation was made by the sales department, which not only showcased the completed scenes of "Blue Ocean International" but also focused on the overall arrangement of specific tasks during the handover phase. From the frequent nods of the senior executives, it was evident that they had no objections to the detailed and meticulous handover plan presented in the PPT

The more a place appears to have concealed conditions, the more it is a trap, for none who rush in are spared

As she exited the office, Xing Tang stood before the floor-to-ceiling window on the twenty-sixth floor, looking down at the entire G City from a height, feeling an inexplicable sense of emotion: compared to the bustling prosperity of "the streets and alleys of Chang'an City," the towering buildings throughout the city at this moment not only obstructed distance but also the hearts of the people.

Damn pervert! Amid the curses, the team members hurried towards the greenery, sand pits, and high platforms of the training ground, attempting to conceal themselves.

In the office of the deputy general manager, Xing Tang sat silently in front of the European-style desk handling documents. Upon hearing a knock on the door, he responded without raising his head: "Come in"

No time to think

He quickly weighed the meaning contained in the term "priority" and understood it.

From Lu Chengyuan's surprised demeanor, it seems that he holds a different opinion

I hope this is the final issue of the weekend journal. "Xing Tang's gaze was stern: 'You handle it personally.'"

He Rao could not comprehend the intricacies of the situation, yet he calmly explained that Chai Yu had afternoon training, along with her

Am I not also a teacher?" Lu Chengyuan raised his eyebrows: "Where is the authority of my position as the deputy team leader?

Feng Jinxiao threw the folder in his hand and said: "Let's get down to business. There is a transport task recently, Chengyuan, you will be in charge. He Rao's focus is on this year's selection of new recruits, and Chai Yu will assist."

Finally, it was still Xilin who, under the gaze of Xing Ye, uttered the words "The meeting is adjourned," rescuing everyone. Once the two Xings exited the conference room, the executives unanimously turned their attention to the sales department manager, sharing a sense of sympathy that conveyed a message of "may you fend for yourself"

In the quarterly assessment, Chai Yu ranked first, and he is justifiably responsible for assisting He Rao in the selection of new team members

A sense of suppressed excitement surged through him, and he snapped to attention, raising his hand in salute: "I guarantee the completion of the task!"

As if pressing a button, the moment the four points were struck simultaneously, the curtain fell with a "swish," and the eight bronze characters "Elite Police, Public Security Vanguard" appeared prominently before everyone.

During the wait for the target verification, four snipers, concealed in camouflage uniforms and wrapped in camouflage fabric, emerged successively from various cover positions such as the green belt, sand pit, high platform, and rooftop, coming into the view of the crowd. Judging by the distance, these four individuals were more than 200 meters away from the curtain wall, and none of them were in optimal shooting positions

The sniper with the longest range walked from the small sandbag that previously had a few wild grasses towards the crowd, saying, "Unfortunately, no one received extra points"

However, looking around the vast training ground, it was empty.

In the next moment, the gunfire rang out again—bang bang bang

On a tranquil afternoon, with the warm sun shining freely and a gentle breeze caressing the willows, the languor that permeates the city is in stark contrast to the tension of the morning assembly in the Tang Dynasty, creating an atmosphere so peaceful that it almost lulls one to sleep. Only the Special Assault Team of the West City, due to the sudden blaring of the alarm just a moment ago, has entered a state of combat readiness.
