Chapter 288
“Master, I thought there would not be military training until university?” Lucas asked.
“What, do you have a problem with that?” Haylan glanced at him.
“No, no, as long as it’s what you say, I have no objections at all, Lucas. quickly replied.
“Good. I’m going to hold military training in the security department. I’ll go print a training manual later, so you will take one home and read it carefully. Remember to arrive on time at eight o’clock tomorrow morning, and we’ll start the training at nine, Haylan said.
“Do you really want to have military training?” Yvonne asked in
confusion.
“That’s right. These security guards are so lazy. You see, they don’t have any spirit at all. Since I’m now the security team leader, of course, I have to nurture their spirit and abilities so that they can better protect the company’s property and colleagues’ personal safety.”
After a pause, Haylan asked, “Does our company cooperate with the printing factory? Can you give me a recommendation? I want to print. and bind the manuals.”
“Isn’t it just a few books? There’s no need to go to the printing factory because our company has the equipment. Come to my office, Yvonne suggested.
“Sure, no problem,” said Haylan.
He stored the file in his phone and followed her to the research and development department’s office, printing out 35 copies of the training manual.
“There are 30 people in the security department, and plus Lucas, that’s 31 people. You have four extras here,” she said.
“It’s better to be prepared.” Haylan smiled.
He organized the 35 books and packed them in a box.
“Mr. Jaber, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight,” Yvonne quickly asked.
“I’m not free tonight. Maybe next time.”
He waved his hand and immediately left with the box.
“Yvonne, I’m leaving with my master now.”
Lucas hurriedly greeted his sister and followed behind Haylan.
“This dumbo rejected me again!”
Yvonne glared at Haylan’s back with gritted teeth and displeasure as he left.
For her, there were definitely no fewer pursuers than Reign.
The young talents from prestigious families would invite her every day, wishing they could spend time alone with her as much as possible.
Despite her multiple invitations, Haylan had rejected her again and again.
It was simply infuriating to her.
“Haylan, I don’t believe that I can’t ask you out!” Yvonne gritted her teeth.
After returning to the security department, Haylan immediately gathered all the security guards.
After everyone had lined up, he pulled Lucas out and said to all the guards, “This is Lucas Lynch, the younger brother of our manager at the research and development department, Yvonne Lynch. He’s also my disciple.
“From today onward, he will join our security team and participate in a month of preliminary training with you.
“Lucas, distribute the training manuals.”
Lucas, whose back injuries had almost healed, immediately picked up the bound training manuals and distributed them one by one to all the security guards.
After all the manuals were distributed, he stood in front of Haylan.
The security guards looked at each other in confusion when they received the training manuals.
They wondered if Haylan did mean to give them military training.
At the same time, they looked at Haylan with even more admiration.
They exclaimed in their hearts, “How amazing is our team lead!”
Haylan not only could make big shots like Felix and Wayne come to pay their respects, but he could also make the son of a rich family like Lucas become his disciple, obeying his every word.
It appeared to them that he was not just a security team leader but an idol!
“Everyone, this training manual contains various tasks, rules and regulations, and, most importantly, the breathing techniques. When you get home today, focus on the breathing techniques. You’ll need them. during the training afterward,” Haylan said as he stepped forward.
He then added, “And as I said before, if you can complete the training successfully, I will persuade Ms. Labenz to give each of you a salary increase of 2 thousand dollars and double the bonus. I will make sure that it happens every month!”
Everyone was overjoyed upong hearing this.
It was an additional 2 thousand dollars per month, after all.
Besides, the bonus would be doubled.
This was definitely a marvellous benefit!
Besides, they could train their bodies while making money, so why not?
At the thought of this, everyone was filled with enthusiasm and shouted in unison, “Mr. Jaber, we will definitely complete the training tasks!”
“Remember, you must focus on the breathing techniques in the training manual and practice them according to it tonight, got it?” Haylan said.
“Yes!” All the security guards were full of enthusiasm and shouted loudly.
“Alright, let’s go to work. Come and gather at seven o’clock tomorrow morning,” he said.
The security guards left with the training manual, feeling ecstatic.
Haylan picked up a training manual and placed it on David’s desk, then sent him a text, reminding him to come over from the hospital to get it later.
David had taken leave to accompany his wife, who had leukemia.
Haylan had checked the route, confirming that David would pass by the company on the way back, so it was likely that he would come and pick up the manual.
“His wife’s leukemia hasn’t worsened, and with medication, she should recover well, though it will take quite some time. I should make time to visit her.”
Haylan looked at his colleague’s empty seat and fell into contemplation.
Lucas, who followed beside him, asked eagerly, “Master, can you teach me how to hit an acupoint?”
“You want to learn this?” he asked.
“I want to. I really want to!” Lucas hurriedly nodded.
Knowing that this was a skill that only existed in martial arts novels, he could brag about it for the rest of his life if he managed to learn it.
“This is neither easy nor difficult. Well, let us seize the day. Come to my office and I’ll teach you,” Haylan said calmly.
Striking an acupoint was not some kind of profound skill; on the contrary, learning it was quite a piece of cake.
Since he had accepted Lucas as his disciple, of course, he was willing to teach.
The disciple was overjoyed and immediately followed.
Soon, Lucas realized that his martial arts talent was shockingly poor.
His master had taught him many times and even demonstrated it to him several times, but he still could not learn it.
He had been learning for an hour, yet he still failed to successfully strike an acupoint. With a disappointed and dejected expression, he said, “Master, do I have no martial arts talent?”
Haylan smiled and said, “You’ve learned the method, which means that you do have the talent, but your speed and strength are not enough.
“Your finger strength cannot close the enemy’s acupoints in a short period of time, which explains why you have not been able to strike a successful one.
“However, it doesn’t matter. It’s already good enough for a beginner like
you to learn this much. As long as you follow my training, you will be able to learn acupoint and acupressure techniques within a week.
“Come, let me first teach you the basics, namely breathing technique and Heart Cultivation.”
