After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 112: Chapter 69: Borrowing Your Sister Again_2

He then lifted his hand toward Fang Huai in a not so serious manner, but unexpectedly said something serious.

"Come, Comrade Little Fang, let’s shake hands."

Only then did Fang Huai respond with appropriate solemnity, raising his hand in a salute and reaching out to Zhang Zhongting.

Zhang Zhongting smiled, "Welcome to the Firefighting forces. From now on, you are a soldier, and you must hold yourself to a soldier’s standards and be strict with yourself! Young and vigorous men, train hard!"

"Yes, sir!" Fang Huai snapped to attention.

Zhang Zhongting nodded, turned, and walked toward the car. A Squad Six Leader from the car, waved to Fang Huai and opened the car door for Zhang Zhongting.

Fang Huai saluted.

This squad leader had sacrificed his life along with my uncle in my past life.

Fang Huai, when remembering his uncle, had heard many stories about him; he had been a decorated veteran, an iron-boned old soldier, who ended up driving for the leadership at the Detachment, another arranged by my uncle to "retire from the front line."

In firefighting, one is always surrounded by the unexpected, and some may sacrifice their lives not on the battlefield, but if not for the mission they bore, they would never have ended up in those dangerous places, nor would their lives have ended there.

...

"Squad leader, can I... take this back with me?"

Standing in the corridor of the New Training Building, holding chips and Cola in his hand, Fang Huai asked.

Hao Chengbin seemed to be lost in thought but snapped back to reality and looked over before taking the chips.

"Don’t bring snacks back with you. Give them to the Squad Six Leader."

"I was thinking of giving them to Han Yong."

Upon hearing this, Hao Chengbin grew slightly angry, "He’s as fat as a pig and still eating snacks!

Starting today, add him to the Evening Exercise routine. I will personally give him extra training, and by the time he’s discharged, he must slim down!"

Fang Huai covered his face.

He’s done for. Captain Hao is already getting into the zone ahead of time. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

The greater the responsibility, the greater the temper.

Brother Yong, I’m sorry...

Wait, it’s not my fault, it’s Zhang Zhongting’s fault...

...

As soon as I entered the squad room.

The new recruits were in a small group discussion, huddled around tables, deep in conversation.

Upon seeing the squad leader enter, they immediately tensed up as if in class and quickly took their spots in front of their little stools.

"Good day, squad leader!"

Hao Chengbin looked around the circle and laughed, a cold laugh.

"Seeing you like this, it seems you’ve lost interest in the grilled fish tonight. Let’s switch to Evening Exercise instead, the late training class. I’ll take you all with me!"

The new recruits’ eyes immediately filled with horror.

No! No!

Fang Huai walked in from behind Hao Chengbin and smiled, "Squad leader, they are probably discussing my uncle; they generally have good discipline."

"Yes! Squad leader, Fang Huai’s uncle was really impressive just now!" Yue Tao chimed in immediately.

"I’ll show you what’s impressive!" Hao Chengbin glared and burst out scolding,

"Yue Tao! Don’t think I don’t know what you were up to! Taking advantage when I was away to stir up trouble and get He Zhijun to take you to the Training Tower, huh? Like the Training Tower because he’s easy-going? I’ll have the lights turned on in the tower today, so you can enjoy climbing it!"

Everyone immediately fell silent.

What Group Leader, uncle? The squad leader is supreme!

Didn’t you see Fang Huai standing there quietly on the side?

Once everyone settled down, Hao Chengbin spoke sternly, "Tonight at seven, there will be a random check of the regulations. Those who can recite will eat, those who can’t will sit and recite while watching others eat!

But as for the Evening Exercise class, Han Yong, you must go."

Just as Han Yong’s eyes began to brighten, they immediately became sorrowful.

Reciting the regulations was no problem, but...

"Squad leader... why must I go..."

Hao Chengbin sternly crossed his arms and said,

"You go because I said so! You’re too fat!

Your figure is a disadvantage in anything you do!

I will tailor the training to your physical condition! You won’t be training in the same group as them!"

Fang Huai also hurried to his side, patted his solid back, and said, "Don’t worry, we are all here, enjoy the training!"

Han Yong could only nod his head.

However, Fang Huai’s encouragement on the sidelines seemed to ease the pressure a bit.

It was then that Fang Huai took out a can of Cola from his trouser pocket, his inquiring gaze turning to Hao Chengbin.

Hao Chengbin said nothing and walked away with his hands behind his back.

The moment the door closed, the new recruits’ eyes lit up as they stared at the Cola in Fang Huai’s hand.

Cola! What a luxury item!

In this damn new recruit group, even fighting for a sip of pumpkin soup at meals was common, let alone Cola!

The old soldiers might add a bit more food to the new recruits’ meals to supplement their nutrition, but a drink like this, which was only good for gaining weight and had no benefits whatsoever, would definitely not be provided. Even the drinks that came with Hao Chengbin’s last order of fried chicken meals were distributed to other squad leaders.

"Brother Fang..."

"Deputy Squad Leader..."

Lu Zexian spoke even louder, "Director Fang! Give me a drink! I swear to serve the Fang family for generations!"

Fang Huai raised the Cola, smiled, and said, "Go to hell, bring a cup! Everyone gets a little!"

Even Han Yong didn’t hesitate this time, quickly rushing to the table to find his cup and took the lid off.

Fang Huai boasted with a proud face, "My family only brought me so much stuff! Come on, everyone praise me!"

"Brother Fang, so generous!"

"Brother Fang, may your fortune be as vast as the East Sea and your longevity as enduring as the southern mountains!"

Han Yong, holding his cup lid, pushed his way forward eagerly.

"Deputy Squad Leader, may you have children early!"

Fang Huai deliberately waited until the last moment to pour for Han Yong, but just a few drops, and then it was gone.

Han Yong was almost in tears, "Damn it, you beasts! You drank so much! I still have training tonight!"

"Eh, that’s the right attitude, you get a reward!" Fang Huai said, satisfied as he fished around in his pocket and pulled out... another bottle.

Everyone beamed with joy.

"Holy crap! Brother Fang, you’re so cool! I wish you..." Lu Zexian was about to lead another round of auspicious words.

Fang Huai raised his hand, "Stop right there!"

He then opened the can, poured a little for each person, and filled Han Yong’s cup to the brim.

"General Han, train hard! If you do well, I’ll go see the squad leader about getting you some benefits!"

"Hey!" Han Yong smiled from ear to ear, lifting the cup to his mouth to chug.

Only then did Fang Huai raise his hand, shaking the almost empty Cola bottle.

He sighed and drank the last small mouthful.

Damn, being a leader isn’t easy...

...

Meanwhile.

Hao Chengbin was looking at Wang Jian across from him.

"Is he gone?"

Wang Jian nodded towards the outside. freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Just left, don’t know who he’s calling, didn’t give orders and just withdrew?"

Hao Chengbin shook his head.

"Leaders have their own scope... But the Chief of Staff said... they plan to do a New Soldier Survey and told us not to interfere."

Wang Jian finally realized, and fell silent for a moment.

"What do you think?"

"I don’t have much to say, he gets what he deserves," Hao Chengbin answered without a shred of sympathy.

Wang Jian’s face crumpled, "Still, don’t overdo it, just let him return, it looks bad to send him back like this."

Hao Chengbin let out a laugh tinged with mockery, "You always like to smooth things over."

Wang Jian’s eyes widened, "Without me smoothing things over, Fang Huai would’ve..."

He stopped midway, unable to continue.

Hao Chengbin laughed, tilting his head to look at him, "Without you what?"

Wang Jian, speechless, clicked his tongue, "Without someone like me to smooth things over, you’ll all be uncomfortable sooner or later."
