Chapter 6: The Cold Beauty

  Security checked everyone's ID and academic certificates, surprisingly found that more than half of the people did not meet the requirements, either too old or too young, or not enough education, in the end only over 300 people were left on site.

  The eliminated person was very unwilling and made a fuss, refusing to leave.

  Qian Mingguang held a loudspeaker and shouted: "Sorry, everyone. Our company has clearly posted the application conditions on TV. You don't meet the requirements yourselves, so I can only eliminate you."

  "We sincerely want to work for Ding Sheng Group, please give us a chance." The eliminated crowd shouted.

  Qian Mingguang shook his head: "Sorry everyone, the recruitment conditions were personally set by our chairman, I have no right to change them, please leave."

  "We won't leave. If you don't let us enter the Ding Sheng Group to work today, we'll keep surrounding the gate." The eliminated crowd shouted loudly.

  Qian Mingguang frowned: "I remind everyone that if you don't leave, I'll call the police and say you're interfering with my company's work."

  When Qian Mingguang said he wanted to call the police, the eliminated crowd felt a little guilty and scolded for a few sentences before dispersing. Finding a good job is great, but you can't go to jail for work, right?

  Qian Mingguang said to the remaining 300+ people: "This time, our Ding Sheng Group is recruiting a total of 30 security guards, so more than 200 of you will be eliminated. I hope everyone prepares themselves mentally."

  "What? We still have to lay off over 200 people?" Everyone's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing this.

  Lin San also secretly smiled, the competition is really too fierce.

  "Next, we will conduct a physical fitness test, which is running. There is a playground in the backyard of our group company. I will lead everyone to the playground for running later. The top 50 are considered qualified, and those outside the top 50 will be eliminated," said Qian Mingguang.

  "What? So strict?" The crowd began to whisper among themselves.

  "Is everyone ready? If you're all set, let's head to the playground," said Qian Mingguang.

  Just then, a luxurious Mercedes-Benz car slowly stopped in front of the building, the door opened, and a beautiful woman wearing a white long dress got out.

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

  The beautiful woman nodded slightly and walked into the building with her head held high.

  As soon as the beautiful woman appeared, Lin San was stunned, and his heart kept muttering: My dream goddess... The one who got out of the Mercedes-Benz was none other than Gu Changfeng's daughter, the richest man in Lan Prefecture, whom Lin San had seen two days ago.

  "Wow! Isn't that the only daughter of the chairman of Ding Sheng Group just walking into the building?" a man in a shirt shouted.

  Lin San snapped back to reality and reached out to pull on the man's arm: "Hey mister, do you know that woman who just went in?"

  "I know her, I've seen her in a magazine before. She's Gu Changfeng, the chairman of Ding Sheng Group's only daughter, Gu Jialan." The man said excitedly, he had also seen Gu Jialan's photo on the newspaper before, but today was his first time seeing the real person.

  "Gu Jialan?" Lin San repeated a sentence: "What a stylish name!"

  "Everyone follow me to the playground." Qian Mingguang shouted a sentence and turned around to walk towards the backyard of the building.

  The crowd of applicants hastily followed Qian Mingguang into the backyard.

  The backyard is very large and can be said to be a large sports field, with basketball racks, parallel bars and other sports equipment being very complete, and a running track is also planned around it.

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

  Qian Mingguang had just announced the start of the run when someone eagerly ran out, followed by others who also started running.

  More than 300 people ran simultaneously on the playground, and the scene was still very spectacular.

  Lin San exerted all his strength and ran as fast as he could, soon leaving a large group of people behind him.

  Long-distance running is the most physically demanding, a distance of several hundred meters may not show the gap between people, but once over thousands of meters, the gap between people begins to emerge, two-thirds of the crowd starts panting heavily, and the speed of running also slows down, only a few people are still frantically sprinting.

  Lin San ran 10 laps and also started to feel a bit tired, his running speed also began to slow down, but Lin San still gritted his teeth and kept running.

  Time flies quickly, and more than half an hour has passed. Initially, there were over 300 people running, but now only over 100 people are still gritting their teeth to keep running, while the remaining over 200 people have automatically dropped out.

  Qian Mingguang held a timer and stood at the edge of the track to supervise the crowd running. If there were any rule-breakers, he immediately let security clear them off the track.

  Every lap someone gets tired and quits.

  Everyone has run 20 laps and there are still 5 laps left.

  At this time, there were more than 70 people left who still insisted on running.

  Lin San's footsteps were slow and labored, his clothes soaked with sweat, his face dripping with sweat that fell continuously, his breathing was extremely heavy, Lin San felt like his lungs were going to burst, every step he took was extremely difficult. Lin San knew he had reached his limit, if he continued running, it would be dangerous, but giving up now was also unbearable for him, yet not giving up, he really couldn't run anymore.

  One after another, people kept passing Lin San and running ahead of him. Before long, Lin San became the last one.

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

  Lin San pretended he hadn't heard and kept running with gritted teeth.

  Qian Mingguang shook his head and didn't say anything else.

  Lin San was running while giving himself encouragement: "Lin San, you can do it, you must be able to do it. If you really want to see the goddess in your dreams again, then you have to persevere. You've already run 21 laps, just a bit more effort and you'll soon reach the finish line."

  Sweat slowly flowed into Lin San's eyes, wave after wave of scorching pain stimulating Lin San's nerves. Lin San didn't dare to wipe his eyes with his hands because they were also covered in sweat; wiping his eyes would only make it more unbearable.

  Round 22, Lin San silently muttered a sentence in his heart, and his body swayed as he walked. Lin San no longer had the strength to run and could only walk slowly.

  At this time, a security guard came over and supported Lin San: "If you can't hold on, I'll support you to leave the stadium."

  Lin San pushed away the security guard and shook his head: "I... can still hold on..."

  "Hey, you can't just sacrifice your life for work, right? You're already exhausted, if you keep running like this, it's going to be dangerous."

  "You're so... nagging. My own body, I myself... understand." Lin San panted heavily, his body shaking even more violently.

  "You're really stubborn. Since you insist on running, I won't stop you. Wait until you collapse from exhaustion, and then I'll come to drag you away." With that, the security guard turned around and left.

  "I can do it... I must do it..." Lin San stopped in his tracks, bent over at the waist, with both hands on his knees and his mouth agape, gasping for air. He felt like he really couldn't hold on any longer, and yet he was still standing, purely by force of will. At this moment, Lin San's head felt incredibly heavy, his eyelids weighed down...

  Qian Mingguang looked at Lin San who was on the verge of collapse and slanted his mouth: "This person's willpower is quite strong, unfortunately, his physical strength is a bit poor."

  "Honk honk..." A car horn sounded.

  Lin San turned his head with difficulty and saw a luxurious car slowly driving into the playground. The door opened, and a middle-aged man and a young woman got out. When he saw the young woman, Lin San's whole body trembled, and his mind became clear. It was Gu Jialan.

  Only to see Gu Jialan holding hands with a middle-aged man, walking towards this side of the track. Gu Jialan was like a little bird nestled beside the middle-aged man, her face revealing a happy smile.

  Qian Mingguang quickly ran to the front of the middle-aged man, bowed his waist at a 90-degree angle, and raised his buttocks high, respectfully greeting him. From Qian Mingguang's respectful attitude, it can be inferred that the middle-aged man's identity is absolutely extraordinary.

  Ever since Gu Jia Lan appeared on the playground, Lin San's whole person became spirited, his breathing also became smooth, and his body stopped shaking.

  Suddenly, Gu Jialan glanced over at Lin San and saw him standing dazed on the track. She was taken aback for a moment, but quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere.

  "The goddess in my dream is looking at me, the goddess in my dream is looking at me!" Lin San exclaimed excitedly.

  "Hey, if you're not going to run anymore, then get out of the way, don't just stand there on the track!" a security guard shouted at Lin San.

  Lin San turned back and glared at the security guard: "Who said I wasn't going to run? I'm just taking a break!" After finishing, he turned around and started running. At this moment, Lin San felt his whole body filled with energy, and his heart kept shouting: "For my dream goddess, I'll do it!" Lin San continued to accelerate, like a gust of wind, crazily running on the track, soon catching up with the people running in front.

  The middle-aged man and young woman who just got off the bus at the playground are Gu Changfeng and Gu Jialan. After finishing a meeting, Gu Changfeng suddenly remembered that there was a security guard recruitment today, so he brought his beloved daughter to the playground to watch the recruitment situation.

  Qian Mingguang stood respectfully in front of Gu Changfeng, carefully sitting down to report: "Chairman Gu, today's job applicants have reached over a thousand people. After layers of screening, only more than 70 people are left..."

  Gu Changfeng nodded: "This time the company recruits security guards, what is needed are crack troops and strong generals, you must keep a good watch."

  Qian Mingguang hastily said: "Certainly, Director Gu, you can rest assured."

  Gu Jialan stood quietly on the side, not speaking. Gu Jialan was a person with a particularly proud temperament, and except for Gu Changfeng, she was cold to everyone else. In her circle, she also had a nickname, "Cold Beauty."
