Chapter 51: Comprehensive Growth (Third Update Seeking Recommendation Votes and Favorites)

"I submit, I concede!" Shi Yi suddenly shouted loudly.

Cheng Feng glared at him fiercely, thinking to himself: Spineless coward!

Immediately after—

"I submit too!" Cheng Feng also shouted loudly.

He wished he could kill Hua Tianyu, but he wasn't foolish. With the appointment signed by the president and the HR manager personally announcing it, the decision was already set in stone. He could vent his anger on Liang Hui, but Hua Tianyu was too terrifying, and now he was the security manager. Even if he refused to accept it, he could only keep it to himself.

He had even planned to call Jiang Lifeng from the Jiang Family Martial Arts School after work, urging them to act quickly—he couldn't wait any longer.

So for now, he played the coward.

Hua Tianyu straightened his expression and said, "He hesitated—do neither of you accept it yet?"

"We accept! We accept! We concede!" The two cried out in unison.

They had already conceded just now—why hadn't Hua Tianyu heard them?

"Damn, you really don't accept it!" Hua Tianyu shook his head, feigning deep regret. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance—this is your own doing!"

Cheng Feng: "..."

Shi Yi: "..."

They realized it—he hadn't misheard, he was being deliberately provocative.

What kind of twisted game was this? They had clearly already submitted! He's now the security manager, couldn't he show a little dignity?

Hua Tianyu turned with a sly smile to the six men who had just gotten up.

"We submit!"

"Oh, so you don't accept it either?"

"…"

"Cui Quan, call all the security staff inside. I have something to announce," Hua Tianyu said.

"Alright!" Cui Quan understood that Hua Tianyu was about to exercise his authority as manager.

Soon, all the security guards had gathered. Hua Tianyu raised his hand, silencing the chatter, and spoke: "A couple of days ago, Swan Group suffered a particularly egregious theft, resulting in heavy losses! The Security Department played almost no role, and the thief escaped!"

Heavy losses? Cheng Feng cursed inwardly—nonsense! Situ Dao hadn't stolen anything, didn't you confiscate it all?

"After careful reflection, to remedy the incompetence in the Security Department and prevent the thief from returning," Hua Tianyu naturally wouldn't disclose that Situ Dao was finished. He intended to use this incident to undermine Cheng Feng's authority.

"Therefore, President Wei has specially assigned me as manager to improve the Security Department's combat capability and overall performance—so we don't have one weak member and an entire weak team. Cheng Feng, do you think President Wei is right?"

Cheng Feng: "…"

Hua Tianyu had added a layer to the question—whether President Wei was right.

Answering "yes" meant admitting his own incompetence.

Answering "no" meant contradicting President Wei.

Cheng Feng had no choice but to play deaf and mute.

"I know President Wei is absolutely right!" Hua Tianyu laughed and answered himself. "So, to live up to President Wei's trust, we'll implement an assessment system in the Security Department." Hua Tianyu continued.

Assessment for employment? That had never happened before—everyone was bewildered, even Cui Quan was nervous, unsure what the test would involve.

"Anyone who fails the assessment will be eliminated!" Hua Tianyu declared.

His words sent shockwaves through the security staff.

Security positions at Swan International Group were highly coveted—no one wanted to lose their job.

Even Cheng Feng, though stripped of his managerial post, had never considered leaving the department.

After all, in Shangjiang City, it was nearly impossible to find a better security job elsewhere.

"The first test is frog jumps! Those who were dissatisfied just now…" Hua Tianyu pointed at Cheng Feng and the others.

"Five hundred frog jumps—everyone else counts."

"If you don't complete five hundred frog jumps, you're out! If anyone miscounts, you're out!" Hua Tianyu said.

Cheng Feng: "…"

Shi Yi: "…"

We jump—others count? And if they miscount, they're out?

This is the Security Department, not the Accounting Department.

Frog jumps are tough—even a few dozen leave most people with weak legs.

Now he wanted them to do five hundred?!

Could his vendetta be any more obvious?

But Hua Tianyu had made it clear—refuse, and you're eliminated.

Compared to the importance of the job, frog jumps were the only option.

"The security room is too small. Go jump in front of Swan Tower!" Hua Tianyu added.

If he was going to make them look foolish, he would do it in grand fashion. Hua Tianyu didn't care if people accused him of personal revenge—his appointment as manager had been forced on him by Wei Xueying anyway.

Thus, the entrance of Swan International Tower became a curious sight: passersby stopped to watch—a group of eight little frogs, jumping, jumping into the flowerbeds…

At first, the eight jumped in unison. Later, they took turns, slowing down more and more, until their legs were almost numb.

The counting security guards were particularly attentive—not a single mistake. After all, Manager Hua had said anyone who miscounted would be eliminated.

If you counted from one to five hundred and still got it wrong… well, you truly couldn't show your face in the security team again!

By the four hundredth jump, Cheng Feng and the others could barely move.

Hua Tianyu stood by, shaking his head and sighing, "As men, you can be soft elsewhere, but not in your legs. Look at you—your legs are like jelly!"

"…"

Why don't you come try it—after more than four hundred frog jumps, let's see if your legs aren't soft!

But they only grumbled inwardly—they had no strength left to speak.

Finally, after finishing five hundred jumps, the eight were supported by sixteen others, one on each side, as they staggered back into the security room.

"Hua Tianyu… do you… dare… to target us… any more?" Cheng Feng's words nearly drained his last bit of energy.

Even so, having survived the five hundred frog jumps and passing the assessment, he unconsciously resumed the posture of security manager, his words carrying a bit more bite.

Hua Tianyu pondered for two seconds. "I dare."

Cheng Feng: "…"

"The second assessment is actual combat!" Hua Tianyu smiled as he looked at the exhausted men sprawled on the floor.

"Actual combat?" The security staff had no idea what strange test Hua Tianyu would come up with next, all eyes fixed on him.

By now, everyone knew—the new security manager was ruthless and absolutely not someone to antagonize.
