Film and Television: Bao Zong has finance in his left hand and entertainment in his right.

According to Lei Qiangjun, each lap of these tracks is 500 meters long, and a circular wooden platform with a diameter of 100 meters and a height of 1 meter has been built in the center, which is the arena for everyone to compete.

Lei Qiangjun was not a formalist. After seeing Liu Xiaobao and Hu Ruoling arrive at the scene, he immediately ordered the buglers to sound the assembly call, and more than 14,000 retired soldiers immediately assembled on the open ground.

At this moment, Lei Qiangjun took the microphone and stepped onto the stage, addressing the more than 14,000 retired soldiers.

"Today is the day that will determine your future job assignments. I want to remind you all that from this very second until the results of the competition, the people standing next to you will not be your comrades, but your enemies on the battlefield. Everyone must do their utmost to defeat them and strive for better job positions; only then will your hard work during this period not have been in vain. That concludes my remarks. Now, please welcome Mr. Hu and Mr. Bao from Tianbao Group to say a few words. Let's give them a round of applause!"

... ..... ...

clap clap...

More than 10,000 people burst into applause in unison, a truly astonishing display of force.

Liu Xiaobao and Hu Ruoling then went up on stage and each took a microphone from a communications soldier.

Liu Xiaobao smiled at Hu Ruoling: "Wife, you go first!"

Hu Ruoling didn't stand on ceremony and immediately stepped forward, facing the group of retired soldiers, and said: "Hello everyone, I am Hu Ruoling. I will only say one thing: today's competition will determine your future job arrangements, so if you want a good job, then you should all work hard!"

clap clap...

As Hu Ruoling finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

When Hu Ruoling returned to Liu Xiaobao's side, Liu Xiaobao nodded gratefully to her.

Because Hu Ruoling didn't mention in her words that she was the one who reassembled this group of retired soldiers, it's clear that she's leaving this big favor for Liu Xiaobao!

Liu Xiaobao understood Hu Ruoling's intention, which is why he expressed his gratitude to her.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao did not try to claim credit from Hu Ruoling. Instead, he accepted the great favor that Hu Ruoling had given him.

After all, Liu Xiaobao knew that Hu Ruoling intended for these retired soldiers to remember her kindness to him, which was exactly what Liu Xiaobao wanted.

Otherwise, Liu Xiaobao, who wasn't a military man, wouldn't have been able to easily win the loyalty of these retired soldiers!

"Hello everyone, I am Liu Xiaobao, Chairman of Tianbao Group!"

Liu Xiaobao walked to the front of the ring and looked at the more than 14,000 retired soldiers standing straight in rows around him. He first gave a brief self-introduction.

"Hello, Mr. Bao!!!"

More than 14,000 veterans shouted these three words in unison, creating a thunderous roar.

The roar of ten thousand soldiers made Liu Xiaobao, who was among them, feel the treatment of a military commander. He felt as if he were the king of these people, which made his blood boil.

However, Liu Xiaobao was not blinded by this. He could see that although the more than 14,000 retired soldiers in front of him seemed to respect him, it was only the respect that employees have for their boss, and there was no loyalty to speak of at all.

What Liu Xiaobao wanted wasn't just the respect employees would show their boss; otherwise, he would have simply recruited from the general public and wouldn't have bothered spending two months painstakingly recruiting these veterans.

What he wanted was the loyalty of these veterans.

Although these people have all retired, they are all genuine military personnel. If Liu Xiaobao can gain their loyalty, he will have a formidable armed force, giving him more confidence to compete for wealth with those international conglomerate families in the future.

So, before Liu Xiaobao lost his mind, he immediately used the pre-match pep talk of Hu Ruoling handing over the prize to him to win people's hearts.

"Although this is my first time meeting you all today, I have always admired soldiers. I believe that soldiers are the most straightforward and lovable people in the world. So when I decided to establish this security company, I made up my mind to recruit retired soldiers from our country, so that those who have left the military will not be troubled by life, and so that they will not forget the various training they received in the military... Although it is unlikely that you will really go to the battlefield again, are you willing to work with me in another way to protect our country on the economic front and safeguard the wealth that belongs to our country?"

"We do!"

After Liu Xiaobao finished speaking, more than 14,000 retired soldiers responded in unison.

It must be said that Liu Xiaobao's eloquent words, ranging from personal feelings to patriotism, deeply moved the veterans in front of him.

Liu Xiaobao could also sense that the eyes of these retired soldiers in front of him now showed some loyalty to him, although it was not very strong, but at least there was a spark of loyalty to him.

However, Liu Xiaobao also understood that loyalty was not something that could be easily achieved with just a few words.

He knew in his heart that the loyalty of these veterans to him would have to be tested over time and cultivated slowly, so Liu Xiaobao was already very satisfied that they could generate a spark of loyalty to him at this moment.

Liu Xiaobao didn't continue with any more emotional appeals. He knew soldiers didn't like long-winded talk. He simply smiled and announced directly.

"Very well, I won't say anything more. I just hope everyone remembers your statement today. Now let's officially begin the selection process!"

clap clap...

Amid applause, Liu Xiaobao returned to Hu Ruoling's side, and Lei Qiangjun, as the head instructor, took over the hosting duties for the selection competition.

Lei Qiangjun didn't say another word of nonsense and directly announced the rules for the first round of the competition, and then the selection competition officially began.

The first round of selection was simple, brutal, and direct, and it was called "one in a hundred"!

One hundred people form a group and go to the arena for a free-for-all. Apart from the rule that they cannot actually kill each other, there are no other restrictions. No matter what means or methods they use, the last person standing will advance to the next round of selection, while the other ninety-nine people will be eliminated.

After hearing Lei Qiangjun announce the competition rules, Liu Xiaobao was taken aback. The elimination rate was too high!

However, after a moment's thought, Liu Xiaobao understood Lei Qiangjun's intention and found it unsurprising.

He realized that Lei Qiangjun probably thought that this way, the truly strong could be selected.

Secondly, more than 14,000 people are simply too many. If they were to fight one-on-one, the competition would likely take several months.

After figuring this out, Liu Xiaobao found it unsurprising and settled down to watch the match on the stage with Hu Ruoling.

In a competition with over 0 participants, Lei Qiangjun didn't distribute number plates or draw lots for everyone. He simply called out which row of people was whose turn it was and had those people come up on stage.

The one person who wins at the end advances, while the ninety-nine who fall are eliminated from the selection team. It's very simple and straightforward.

The retired soldiers train in the same way and learn the same fighting techniques, so when they compete on stage, it is nothing more than a contest of personal strength, judgment, willpower, and reaction speed.

Therefore, the scene of a hundred people fighting like this was truly breathtaking, and Liu Xiaobao couldn't bear to be distracted for even a second.

Although it's a battle of a hundred people, each match ends very quickly, usually in about ten minutes.

In every match, everyone gets injured. Even the final victors are covered in wounds, but thankfully no one dies. The eliminated contestants are only temporarily incapacitated.

Because there were so many participants, even though each match only took a dozen minutes to finish, the first round of the competition still took three days to complete, and ultimately 142 finalists were selected.

The competition was not suspended because of the injuries of the advancing contestants; on the fourth day, the second round of the competition continued.

This round of competition is a firearms contest, which consists of two parts: disassembling and assembling firearms, and shooting skills.

The time taken to disassemble and assemble the firearms, plus the number of targets shot, is the score for this round. The top 100 scorers will advance to the third round, while the other 42 will be eliminated.

The second round of the competition took only 2.9 days to determine the top 100, but the 42 people who were eliminated were also recorded on the results list and they will be assigned different jobs.

On the fifth day, a third round of competition was held.

The third round of the competition is a scenario-based hostage rescue test. In a specific scenario, each person has a pistol and two magazines. While killing the bandits, they also have to rescue the hostages.

In this competition, both the bandits and the hostages are dummy targets, and the dummy targets have markings indicating the number of rings on their heads. The number of bandits each person kills is also recorded in their score, and the competition is timed.

The final results will be determined by the number of targets hit and the time taken, with the top fifty players selected and fifty eliminated.

Although it was just a scenario simulation test, Liu Xiaobao could tell that this round was testing comprehensive abilities.

After a morning of competition, the third round of competition has come to an end.

Ultimately, the top fifty performers advanced to the next round, while the bottom fifty were eliminated.

Although they were eliminated, the results of these fifty people were still recorded on the results list.

That afternoon, the fourth round of the competition began.

The fourth round of competition is a free-for-all in a specific environment.

The competition venue is on a mountain. Fifty people enter the mountain from different directions. There will be various weapons on the mountain. Each person will be equipped with a pistol, a magazine filled with blank rounds, and a dagger. In the end, only ten contestants will remain to enter the next round, and forty people will be eliminated.

Clearly, this round of competition tests field combat capabilities and will determine the top ten.

Although there was no set end time for this round of competition, after a fierce battle, a winner was decided before dark. In the end, only ten people advanced to the next round, while the other forty were eliminated.

On the sixth day, the final round of the competition, a ranking battle among ten people, began.

This round returns to a pure individual skill competition, with two players battling it out. Each victory earns one point, and the player with the highest score becomes the champion.

In other words, a person can compete against nine people, and can get one point for each victory. Winning nine matches will earn nine points, which is also the highest score.

As the saying goes, there is no first place in literature, but there is no second place in martial arts.

There are no draws in a martial arts contest. If there is a tie, the two players with the same score will duel, and the winner will advance, while the loser will be eliminated.

This round of the competition did not provide any more weapons. It was simply a matter of two people going into the ring and using pure fighting skills to determine the winner until one of them conceded defeat or could no longer fight!

Since they were among the top ten, and each of them made an appearance, Liu Xiaobao had a deep impression of these ten people, although he didn't know their names yet.

There was one woman in particular who left the deepest impression on Liu Xiaobao.

To break into the top ten from a pool of over 14,000 people, this woman is truly a one-in-a-million female powerhouse.

Actually, it wasn't just this one woman; from the second round of the competition onwards, Liu Xiaobao paid attention to all the women in the top 142.

After all, the first round was a free-for-all with a hundred people, and the women who made it to the second round were no ordinary women.

The only drawback was that there were a few people. Of the 142 people who advanced to the second round, only eight were women, and when they made it to the top ten, there was only one left.

However, Liu Xiaobao was not disappointed. In the future, Tianbao Security Company will continue to recruit retired soldiers, and there will be more strong women at that time. These women will be perfect for protecting him in the future.

After a full day of competition on the sixth day, the rankings of the top ten were determined.
