Chapter 154: The Temporary Examiner

After introducing Hua Tianyu, Liang Hui paused for a moment, glanced at the gathered applicants, and then continued speaking.

“Today’s recruitment process will be primarily overseen and assessed by him. Our Human Resources Department will assist with record-keeping on the side. I ask everyone to follow Manager Hua’s instructions during the session.”

Liang Hui’s words struck like a thunderclap, leaving Bai Erbin momentarily stunned.

What? This man had just applied for a security guard position a month ago—he even came with him for that application—and now he was already the Security Department Manager?

Meanwhile, Bai Erbin himself had failed to secure any position in that entire month and was now forced to come back to Swan Group, once again applying for a security guard role.

At first, Bai Erbin thought he might have misheard, but when he caught the surname Hua during the introduction, he realized he hadn’t.

He clearly remembered that during the last security guard recruitment, the individual who was hired as the CEO’s specially appointed security officer was named Hua Tianyu!

Was this guy a relative of the CEO? Did he take a rocket ride or something? To rise from a security guard to the Security Department Manager in just one month was terrifying!

Bai Erbin felt a slight relief, thinking it was fortunate he hadn’t had any conflict with Hua Tianyu last time. Otherwise, he might have had to leave immediately today.

Sneaking a glance, he noticed Hua Tianyu didn’t seem to pay any attention to him and quietly exhaled in relief: Good, good—he didn’t notice me!

Hua Tianyu, in fact, did recognize him. Besides a few troublemakers, Hua clearly remembered most of the applicants from last time. Since Bai Erbin wasn’t one of the troublemakers, Hua Tianyu didn’t mind giving him another chance.

At that moment, Hua Tianyu’s gaze casually swept over the group and landed on a familiar face he had seen several times recently: Rong Xinyuan, the Technical Manager of Hongwei Security Company.

Hua Tianyu nodded silently. So this guy really did come to apply!

He leaned toward Liang Hui and said softly, “The quality of these candidates is quite good. Most of them have been recently discharged from the military within the past two years. We should be able to select the people we need from among them.”

“How do you know that, Tian Ge?” Wang Hong asked curiously. As far as she knew, Hua Tianyu hadn’t thoroughly reviewed the applicants’ information.

“Look at their expressions and the way they’re sitting,” Hua Tianyu explained.

Pointing at them, he said, “Although they’re sitting, they’re sitting upright with eyes fixed on us and silent—that’s typical of those recently discharged who still retain their military habits. The others who are slouched, whispering among themselves—either they’ve been out of the military for a long time and lost the discipline, or they’ve never served at all.”

“Tian Ge, you really know a lot!” Wang Hong admired sincerely. “I want to learn from you in the future. In human resources, you really have to learn how to read people.”

“No, no!” Hua Tianyu chuckled, shaking his head. “You don’t have to learn—just trust me!”

“Cough, cough!” Liang Hui cleared her throat heavily beside them and glared sharply at Hua Tianyu. “This is recruitment time. Are you done? Let’s get started!”

Hua Tianyu paid no mind to Liang Hui’s glare. He stretched leisurely, leaving everyone dumbfounded, and said at a measured pace, “Please gather in the open space behind the building. I’ll be there shortly.”

Since Liang Hui had already instructed that everyone should follow Hua Tianyu’s lead during the recruitment, no one objected. They all moved toward the open space behind the building.

Hua Tianyu took the elevator down with Liang Hui.

Inside the elevator, Liang Hui suddenly took a phone call. After hanging up, she looked at Hua Tianyu with a peculiar expression.

Seeing this, Hua Tianyu smirked lightly, “If you want to confess your feelings, just say it—I can handle it!”

Liang Hui shot him a glare. “President Wei has suddenly arranged for another assessor to come. They’re already waiting downstairs.”

“Another assessor? Snow Ying clearly doesn’t trust me! I protest!” Hua Tianyu objected.

Liang Hui shook her head. “Your protest is invalid. But President Wei said you’re still the chief examiner for this interview, and your opinion takes precedence. As for the other assessor, President Wei said you’re on your own.”

“On my own?” Hua Tianyu frowned, puzzled by the phrase.

But he soon understood. In the open space downstairs, he saw Han Yan clad in full combat gear, with wrist guards and knee pads, standing tall and proud as he waited for Hua Tianyu.

“You’re the other assessor?” Hua Tianyu said with a meaningful smile, caught off guard.

“That’s right, it’s me!” Han Yan lifted his chin, looking smugly at Hua Tianyu.

The gathered applicants immediately stirred with excitement—another beautiful woman as an examiner! Despite the camouflage uniform, it was clear she had a striking figure.

“Everyone ready? Then let’s begin!” Han Yan didn’t wait for Hua Tianyu’s cue and boldly took charge, announcing the start of the recruitment and gesturing for everyone to be quiet.

Hua Tianyu was completely ignored. Irritated, he said to her, “Han Yan, you’d better stand quietly on the side. I’m the chief examiner today!”

Then, addressing the group, he declared, “I hereby announce that Swan Group’s security guard recruitment is officially—”

“Wait!” Han Yan cut him off again. “How do you plan to conduct the interview?”

“Huh? What do you mean, Han Yan?” Hua Tianyu was annoyed at being upstaged again.

“Are you going to have them introduce themselves one by one and then ask a long list of questions about their hobbies, specialties, and marital status? Let me tell you, that’s idiotic! Today we’re recruiting security guards. What matters most is their practical combat ability!” Han Yan insisted.

“How do you intend to test their practical skills?” Hua Tianyu asked.

“I want to test their abilities through actual combat!”

“Combat testing?”

“Yes! A real combat confrontation to assess them! Since even you seem a bit confused, I think the two of us should demonstrate it to them—that will make it clear!” Han Yan clenched her fists and took a few steps toward Hua Tianyu.

Heh, this little woman was clearly trying to settle a personal score, using this opportunity to embarrass him in front of the entire Security Department.

Hua Tianyu finally understood her intention. It seemed this assessor had been sent by Wei Xueying.

Otherwise, why would Wei Xueying suddenly bring in an outsider as an examiner?

Now that he understood, Hua Tianyu wasn’t about to let her succeed.

He smiled faintly, then adopted a serious expression. “I am the chief examiner today. How the assessment is conducted is my decision. Now, I will announce the first rule of recruitment.”
