It took Peter more than one hour to figure out the most qualified persons for the new positions.
He acted with fairness, not even showing special favor to Jack, appointing him as a team leader.
The five new captains were Andy Liao, Bruce Wei, Jason Zhang, Lawrence Bai, and Harvey Xie.
Before today, all of them had been ranked and filed security guards, far from being captains, not even team leaders.
Bob kept the power and prestige all to himself so they never had the chance to earn these titles despite their competence.
The five were on cloud nine after being selected. They were full of gratitude towards Peter. They were sure to support Peter no matter what.
Peter congratulated them, then turned to those who were not selected.
"Everybody, these positions are not permanent. I will continue to promote those who show excellence and demote those who perform weakly. As long as you have what it takes, you can replace them any time."
Excitement gleamed at the other guards' eyes as they heard his words.
The chance of being captain or team leader was very attractive to them.
Salary alone was attractive enough. A captain earned 3, 000 more than an ordinary security guard, and a team leader earned 1, 000 more than that. Now that was real money.
Peter was about to leave after raising the morale of his team when someone barged into the room, kicking the door forcefully. 14 angry young men came in.
"Sorry, we are having a meeting now. Please vacate the room," Lisa said, attempting to stop them.
"Fuck off. Shut up, bitch," the man barked at her. "I'm the captain. How dare you! You're the one who should get out!"
The man shouted at Lisa with contempt. He glanced at Peter and asked,"You are the new director?
I heard a lot about you. You didn't only destroy the manager's office and kick out Miss Mei, but also fired us, too. Didn't you?"
"Excuse me, you are?" Despite Peter's show of courteousness, he sneered in his mind.
It was impossible not to recognize these guys. They were the former captains and team leaders who didn't attend the meeting on purpose.
News might have reached them about Peter's management of the ones thrown out of the room, sending them to rush over.
"I am Gary Li, general captain of the Security Department!" the man said arrogantly, pointing at the dozen people following him. "These are the captains and team leaders of the Security Department."
Peter smiled. "Sorry. I don't know who you are. We have team leaders and captains already. They are all here."
"What? You mean we are fired? How dare you! Who gave you the authority?" Gary Li glared at him.
"I tell you, I'm not as weak as those jerks who were beaten up. If you are smart, you'd better sit quietly and listen to my orders. We can have peace. Otherwise..."
As he spoke, he grasped a ceramic teacup and kneaded it with both hands. The cup was crushed to pieces.
"Are you threatening me?" Peter frowned.
"Yes. I'm threatening you. What can you do? I heard you are very strong and a good fighter. Aren't you? Come on superman! Fight me. I can't wait to see how strong you are!"
Gary Li had always been eager to show off his strength and he couldn't help but underestimate Peter's strength. He had every reason to do so, actually. Compared with Bob, he was much stronger. Bob had to yield to his pressure when he was working as the manager.
"Sorry, you don't deserve my fight," Peter glanced over to the seventy security guards, saying with a smile. "Someone is making trouble with us. Throw them out! I'll take all the blame if anything happens."
"Yes, sir!"
The seventy security guards pounced at Gary Li and his partners without hesitation, fierce and brave like tigers.
