No Objections

Having cleared up the doubts in his heart, Shen Yue, Shen the Butcher, stood up to leave. Han Yang stopped him again. "Wait. Come handle something with me."

At this moment, led by Li Hu, a group of Security Department guards shoved the thief out onto the street. Shopkeepers, pedestrians, and others all turned to look.

"Caught another thief?"

"Those damned bastards deserved it! Good catch!"

The crowd immediately grew excited.

As Revival Group had grown and stabilized, there had not been a public punishment on these three streets for quite some time. Now that there was a spectacle to watch, people quickly gathered around.

Li Hu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Folks, neighbors, theft is strictly forbidden here in Revival Group. But there are always people who can't keep their hands to themselves and insist on courting death. There's nothing we can do about that.

"We caught another thief today. According to company rules, his hand has to be broken. Watch carefully, everyone, and keep yourselves in line. If anyone does it again, this will be your example! Bring him up!"

Zhang Dazhu forcibly dragged the thief over, grabbed his arm, and pinned it to the table. Li Hu pulled out a steel pipe and, ignoring the thief's screams and pleas, brought it down hard.

With a crack, the thief's arm immediately bent at a grotesque angle. The bone had clearly broken.

Letting go of the thief, Li Hu gave him another vicious kick. "Get lost! Keep your eyes open from now on!"

The thief writhed on the ground in agony, wailing nonstop. The onlookers cheered loudly.

"Still not leaving? Want your legs broken too?"

The thief struggled to his feet and ran off, tears and snot streaming down his face.

Basking in the people's respect and fear, Li Hu was full of spirit.

His phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was Han Yang's number, Li Hu immediately became respectful. "President Han, please give your orders."

"Gather everyone in the Security Department and bring them to the martial arts hall."

"Yes."

By the time Li Hu had gathered all the guards currently on duty—twenty-one in total—and arrived at the martial arts hall, all the internal members from the other departments had arrived as well.

More than a hundred people filled the martial arts hall to the brim.

"The Security Department has done very well lately."

Han Yang began with praise, but the expression on his face suddenly turned cold. "However, some people have ignored company rules. They eat from the company's bowl while smashing the company's pot."

The atmosphere in the martial arts hall immediately grew grave.

Zhang Dazhu stood with his chest out, his expression solemn. Beside him, Li Qing felt uneasy.

No one saw it. Dazhu said he wouldn't report it, and he definitely won't... He can't be talking about me.

"Li Qing! Step out!"

Han Yang called him out directly. Li Qing shuddered all over and stepped forward despite himself. "President Han."

"Will you say it yourself, or should I say it for you?"

Li Qing's legs went weak, and cold sweat instantly poured down his face. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but he still forced himself to say, "President Han, I... I don't understand."

"You're still being stubborn at a time like this."

Han Yang sneered and directly turned on the player. A recording immediately began to play.

In the alley, Zhang Dazhu and Li Qing were shoving around a thief. The thief kept begging for mercy and promising money. Zhang Dazhu held firm, while Li Qing wavered...

Everything was laid bare.

Li Qing's mouth fell open.

He simply could not understand how Han Yang had obtained this recording.

He immediately looked toward his superior, Li Hu. "Director Li, Tiger Bro, save me! I was wrong! I'll never dare do it again! Save me..."

Han Yang also looked at Li Hu. "He's from your Security Department. How do you think he should be dealt with?"

Without even looking at Li Qing, Li Hu forced himself to say, "According to company rules, anyone with sticky fingers gets a hand broken, is dismissed, and has their wages recovered..."

Han Yang's face remained expressionless. "Then what are you waiting for?"

"President Han, President Han, spare me! I'll never dare again! No, please, don't!"

Ignoring Li Qing's struggles, several guards held him down. Li Hu took out the steel pipe with trembling hands and ruthlessly brought it down.

Amid Li Qing's scream, his arm bent at the same grotesque angle as the thief's had earlier.

"Throw him out!"

Li Qing was thrown directly outside Fuxing Mall.

Han Yang continued to stare coldly at the people before him.

The internal members of Revival Group were silent as death, unease filling their hearts.

At that moment, who knew how many people silently warned themselves to keep their hands clean, never entertain improper thoughts, and never pull any tricks.

President Han's methods were simply beyond imagination. Even something so secret could be discovered by President Han. How much better could their own tricks possibly be? If President Han found out, they would lose everything.

It was far better to work honestly under President Han. The benefits were good, and the pay was generous.

"Zhang Dazhu!"

Amid the dead silence, Han Yang called out another name.

"Here!"

Zhang Dazhu stepped out as well.

"Li Hu, how should Zhang Dazhu be dealt with?"

Li Hu froze.

Zhang Dazhu had upheld company rules, yet he was to be punished too?

"This... this..."

"Company rules state that merit must be rewarded and wrongdoing must be punished. Guard Zhang Dazhu upheld company rules and did not let the thief go. That deserves a reward. But he concealed Li Qing's matter and failed to report it. That deserves punishment!"

"Yes..."

Li Hu forced himself to think it over before saying, "I suggest... Zhang Dazhu be fined half a month's wages, then promoted to squad leader of the security team."

The Security Department had already been divided into three shifts, but no squad leaders had been formally appointed.

Han Yang nodded. "Fine. We'll handle it that way. As for the other two squad leaders, assess everyone's performance over this period and submit the names to me tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Han Yang looked at Zhang Dazhu. "Do you have any objections to how you've been dealt with?"

Zhang Dazhu straightened his chest and gave Han Yang a solemn salute. "Reporting to President Han, I have no objections!"

"Very good."

Han Yang patted Zhang Dazhu on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Watching Han Yang's retreating back, Zhang Dazhu held his salute for a long time, filled with both gratitude and shame.

President Han, everything I have now was given to me by you. From now on, this hundred-odd pounds of mine belongs to you...

Everyone looked at Zhang Dazhu with some envy. At this moment, no matter who it was, they all understood that Zhang Dazhu had caught President Han's eye.

Over the following period, every employee in Revival Group, whether a core member, an internal member, or even an external worker, was energetic and meticulous in their work, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.

Everyone knew that President Han rewarded and punished fairly, and that he could see each person's performance clearly.

Throughout Revival Group, Han Yang had truly achieved complete command over every part of the organization.

Under these circumstances, the Security Department began its second round of recruitment.
