“Next! Who’s up?” Lin Beifan called out.
“I’ll go!” A woman rushed forward.
The woman before them had an ordinary appearance, standing at less than 1.6 meters tall, with slender arms and legs. She seemed to weigh no more than 90 catties (around 45 kg), as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Lin Beifan said, “Miss, I advise you to give up!”
The woman’s expression was resolute, “No! I will never give up!”
Lin Beifan continued, “With your physique, you won’t be able to lift this bucket of water!”
She remained determined, “No! I can do it!”
Lin Beifan tried to persuade her, “Don’t insist! Based on scientific theory, you really can’t lift it!”
She roared defiantly, “I only believe that human will can overcome anything!”
“Clap clap clap…”
Everyone present was inspired by her spirit and applauded enthusiastically.
“Good! Well said!”
“I support you!”
“Human will can overcome anything!”
…
Encouraged by the crowd, the woman grew more confident.
After taking two deep breaths, she extended her hands, which were as thin as bamboo poles, and firmly grasped the handle of the water bucket.
Her body leaned back slightly, and then she exerted all her strength, letting out a loud shout.
“Hah!”
The water bucket didn’t budge.
The onlookers watched in silence.
The woman changed her posture and shouted again.
“Hah!”
Still, the water bucket remained unmoved.
The onlookers remained silent.
Refusing to give up, she tried yet another posture and shouted again.
“Hah!”
But the water bucket still did not move.
The onlookers remained silent.
“I don’t believe I can’t lift it!”
“Hah!”
“Hah!”
“I’ll keep trying!”
“I’ll keep trying and trying…”
Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Beifan said, “Stop trying. If you can’t lift it, you can’t. Next!”
The woman became anxious, “Give me one last chance, I’ll try again!”
“Snap.”
The world seemed to fall silent.
In the end, the crowd joined forces to lift the frustrated woman, who had hurt her waist, and took her to the nearby hospital.
“It’s always said to know one’s limits and give up if you can’t do it!”
However, the people who followed still seemed clueless about their own lives.
Each one of them desperately lifted the water bucket, either straining their waist or injuring their arm muscles, and the rate of injuries soared.
Nevertheless, under the relentless determination of this group of people.
Finally, one of them paid a heavy price with a pulled arm and a strained waist but persisted for a minute.
The Dragon King Zhao Tian was extremely excited, almost shedding tears of joy. “Finally, someone succeeded! It wasn’t easy at all!”
“Congratulations, Dragon King! Hail the Dragon King!” the black-clothed individuals exclaimed in unison.
Zhao Tian’s eyebrows danced with excitement. “To single-handedly lift a 50-catty weight for one minute is not easy for anyone, even those who exercise regularly! Therefore, this position is basically secured!”
“Congratulations, Dragon King! Hail the Dragon King!” the black-clothed individuals echoed again.
Zhao Tian shouted loudly, “She is our hero, and I’ll cover all her medical expenses! Additionally, I’ll gift her a villa and two luxury cars! After she returns from Lin Beifan, I’ll arrange a CEO position for her with an annual salary of over ten million!”
“In short, she must be richly rewarded!”
“Thank you, Dragon King!” the black-clothed individuals echoed for the third time.
Zhao Tian poured himself another glass of 82-year-old wine, gently swirled the wine glass, and with a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, he said, “Lin Beifan, let’s see how you can compete with me this time!”
At this moment, Lin Beifan didn’t expect that someone who appeared so weak could actually hold on for a whole minute.
However, he remained calm, saying, “Who’s next?”
“It’s me!”
From the crowd of interviewees emerged a calm-looking young man.
He wore tight-fitting casual black clothes and pants, looked thin yet tall, with sharp features, composed and gentle eyes, exuding a unique charisma, seemingly capable of being a celebrity with just a random makeover.
Lin Beifan smiled as he looked at him. “You’re called Wu Ge, only 23 years old, very young. Why do you want to come here and work as a cleaner?”
The man calmly replied, “I have a low education level, not much academic background, and no other means to make money, so I thought of earning a living here! It’s just that I didn’t expect…”
He slightly turned his head to look at the group of PhD and Master’s degree holders, and his mouth twitched, “So many people competing with me!”
“I also didn’t expect so many highly educated individuals fighting for a janitorial job!” Lin Beifan shook his head. “Enough talking now, show us what you’ve got, please!”
The man nodded and approached the water bucket. He gently lifted it with one hand, effortlessly raising it to 50 centimeters, keeping the water inside stable.
His legs stood straight, and his face was calm and natural.
As if he were lifting not a 50-catty weight but just a small plastic bag.
“Incredible!” someone exclaimed.
You see, all the previous people struggled with all their might, sweating profusely, faces flushed, and yet they still couldn’t lift the water bucket.
But this man did it with such ease, it’s amazing!
In this way, he effortlessly persisted for a minute.
Then, he persisted for another minute.
Only after putting down the water bucket did he calmly say, “I should have passed now, right?”
Lin Beifan nodded and smiled, “Of course! Among all the applicants, you held on the longest! If nothing unexpected happens, this position should be yours!”
“If something unexpected happens, we can have another competition. I can hold on for over five minutes!” he said confidently.
