Cheat: Only children make choices! I want them all

The current steel rolling mill does not have a broadcasting room, and the Propaganda Department can only rely on bulletin boards to publicize Ye Lingtian's position transfer. Therefore, not many people know that Ye Lingtian has been promoted to deputy chief of the Security Department, and those who know basically do not know Ye Lingtian.

After being promoted to deputy section chief, Ye Lingtian naturally no longer needs to work on the front line, so he can no longer continue to serve as the captain of a small team in the warehouse.

However, he now has certain powers of appointment and dismissal, and can select talents to replace his previous position.

He had already decided on the candidate; he would let the man who looked more steady from last time be the captain of a small team.

When Ye Lingtian entered the warehouse to check, several young people teased him. Only the older man stepped in to stabilize the situation. From this, it seems that the other party has some ability to unite and command the team, which is good enough for him to be a team leader...

Immediately, Ye Lingtian gathered a small team and told them that he had been promoted to deputy section chief. Then a burst of whispering could be heard from below.

"Oh my god! Captain Ye is so amazing! Is this... is this true? He was actually promoted to deputy section chief!"

"Damn! If you say he doesn't have anyone behind him, I don't believe it! He's only been at the steel mill for a few days? First he was a team leader, then a deputy section chief! That's only been three days! He got promoted that fast, even driving a truck wouldn't be that fast!"

In this day and age, there is no such thing as riding a rocket, so they can only use the fastest means of transportation, trucks, as a substitute...

"Stop yelling! I checked the bulletin board. Captain Ye... Section Chief was promoted to Deputy Section Chief because of his outstanding achievements out in the field, capturing two important enemy spies and rescuing one of our intelligence officers! If you're jealous, you can try to imitate him and capture enemy spies yourself..."

……

"Okay! Everyone be quiet!"

Ye Lingtian couldn't just watch them discussing him, but he knew in his heart that many people who were unaware of his promotion to deputy section chief would definitely be dissatisfied. However, this did not affect his status. His promotion was approved by the higher-ups, and even if some people were jealous, it could not change this fact.

The most urgent task now is not to subdue them, but to first regulate the team system. As for the prestige issue, it cannot be solved in a short time. It depends on time and opportunity...

After hearing Ye Lingtian's words, everyone quieted down. After all, no matter what, Ye Lingtian is now the deputy chief of their security department, and his words must be listened to.

"Well! Very good!" Ye Lingtian smiled slightly upon seeing this. This group of people were at least obedient now. The team was not as difficult to lead as he had imagined. "I have been promoted to deputy chief of our security department, so the position of team leader is naturally vacant! But it won't do to leave it vacant forever, so I decided to choose one of you to take my place as team leader..."

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other again, feeling a little excited. Of course, they didn't dare to think about becoming deputy section chiefs, but they could definitely strive for the position of team leader!

Being a team leader is similar to being a team leader on the production line. Although the rank is not high, the work intensity and salary are greatly improved!

Who doesn’t want a decent job? Even if they have served in the military and are able to endure hardships, they still hope to live a better and more comfortable life!

After a while of excitement, everyone looked at Ye Lingtian with anticipation.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd, Ye Lingtian frowned slightly. He originally wanted to assign someone directly, but if he did that, the others would be more or less disappointed and dissatisfied, and then a small team might still cause trouble, which was not in line with his expectations!

It seems that he needs to change his strategy.

"I can see you all want to be team leader! But there's only one team leader position, so naturally, your ability is key!" Ye Lingtian gazed at everyone and said calmly, "Our security department was established to protect the steel mill's production safety, so the requirements for ability are naturally based on physical prowess, followed by material auditing experience and team management capabilities!"

"Now, I'm going to give you an assessment. If you can pass, you'll become the captain of a small team! What do you think..."

The method Ye Lingtian proposed was very fair, so everyone nodded.

"No problem! Chief Ye, just tell us what the test is about! We'll take it!"

"That's right! Chief Ye, please tell us quickly, we are all busy!"

……

Facing the crowd's urging, Ye Lingtian simply smiled faintly, then he placed his hands in the air to silence everyone, then spoke: "Alright! Then I'll set up three tests. One will test your physical fitness, one will test your material identification ability, and the last one will test your organizational and management abilities. These tests are all very simple! Let me briefly explain them to you..."

The first physical test is to run ten laps around a warehouse. The person who finishes first wins!

The second material identification test requires recording the quantity and types of materials in the warehouse on a piece of paper. The time limit is twenty minutes. Whoever remembers more wins!

This test can not only test the ability to identify materials, but also test the team members' cultural level and calculation ability!

The third item was a management ability test. Ye Lingtian also simplified this test a lot. He directly made a simple military formation map and let these team members simulate combat!

These team members were all veterans and were quite familiar with this kind of thing, so they all nodded in agreement to the test.

Moreover, this is also the best test of their organizational and management abilities! Deploying troops is no simple task; it involves a great deal of knowledge...

……

The test began, and the team members started running around Warehouse No. 1, while Ye Lingtian stayed there and waited quietly.

The warehouse's circumference was about 400 meters, so ten laps equaled four kilometers. Given the level of soldiers and civilians of that era, running the entire lap wasn't a problem. The only remaining issue was a matter of speed...

Soon, twenty minutes later, someone had already run back to the starting point!

Ye Lingtian immediately recorded the other party's results...

Finally, after everyone had finished the race, Ye Lingtian picked up the piece of paper that recorded everyone's results and read the information on it:

Zhang Guoping, first place!

Sun Heping, second place!

Zhou Huaxing, third place!

……

The results were announced very quickly, some were happy and some were sad!

The one who was happy was naturally Zhang Guoping, who won the first place. This person was the man who had talked in the warehouse before!

He is now around 40 years old, an age with abundant physical strength. Coupled with his years of experience in fighting and trekking in the army, he actually outran others.

This also made Ye Lingtian feel a little relieved that he was not wrong about the person.
