Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1244 - 603: 3

Candidates demonstrating the ability to endure for over twenty minutes will be classified as excellent. These individuals possess exceptionally strong willpower and will receive substantial resources and dedicated training upon joining the Special Search Team.

Conversely, those unable to withstand even ten minutes, whose spirits faltered upon confronting the monster, would forfeit their chance to become field agents.

The middle-aged man paused in thought for a moment.

"Including that candidate, Fang Cheng, who just went through, there are five," he stated.

His gaze moved across the large screen, his voice even yet tinged with disappointment: "Still too few. This year's situation isn't looking good; we require more new talent."

"Inform all examination centers to loosen the passing requirements. Anyone who can persist for more than ten minutes should be considered for admission."

"Furthermore, those lasting over fifteen minutes should be placed on the priority training list."

"Once all of today's tests are concluded, compile a comprehensive list. I wish to personally review it."

"Understood, sir." Director Qin stood at attention, acknowledging the order.

At that moment, the heavy, soundproof door of the viewing hall was swung open from the outside. With the quick clicking of high heels on the floor, a female secretary, dressed in a fitted gray skirt, hurried towards the sofa.

She glanced at her watch and reported softly: "General, it is eleven o'clock. Lunch has been prepared and sent to your office; you may return for a quick meal."

"At one-thirty this afternoon, you are scheduled to attend the military's joint defense high-level meeting at the Ministry of Defense building. The special convoy is already waiting in the underground garage."

"Very well." The middle-aged man gave a slight nod, placing his hands on his knees as he rose from the sofa. His tall, imposing figure immediately cast a large shadow on the floor.

This man was the current highest-ranking officer of the Special Search Team, General Ling Shaofeng.

The female secretary adeptly retrieved the military coat draped over the armrest of the sofa, unfolded it, and placed it on Ling Shaofeng's shoulders. She then presented the military cap adorned with the eagle insignia.

Ling Shaofeng took the cap, put it on, and raised his hand to adjust his collar. He turned and walked toward the door.

As he passed Director Qin, the sound of his military boots striking the floor abruptly halted.

"Xiao Qin." Ling Shaofeng didn't turn his head, his profound gaze fixed on the darkness ahead, his tone unhurried: "In handling matters and dealing with people, one must exercise discernment."

"Water that is too clear holds no fish. I can permit subordinates to seek minor personal gains for their daily needs, but within these walls, when faced with righteousness, not a speck of impurity must be allowed. Do you understand?"

This metaphorical admonishment felt like a bucket of ice water doused over his head. Director Qin's hair stood on end, his already damp back breaking out in a fresh cold sweat.

He bowed his head deeply, not daring to exhale forcefully, his Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed with difficulty. "Understood, sir..."

Ling Shaofeng uttered no further words, striding out of the viewing hall. The heavy metal soundproof door swung shut behind him, restoring the hall to its silent, dim state.

Director Qin remained frozen, his gaze fixed on the broad back that had long since vanished beyond the door, his legs feeling weak. He let out a long sigh, releasing the stale air trapped in his chest, and raised his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He then shook his head with a wry smile. Today's close call was fortunately navigated successfully due to the General's usual trust, avoiding any serious repercussions. Director Qin looked at the images displayed on the surrounding screens, murmuring to himself, "Fang Cheng, now that you've crossed the threshold into the Special Search Team, strive to perform well and don't cause me any trouble..."
