After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 224: Chapter 170 Who is The Insider

The next day, early morning.

All members of the Second Squad stood at the door, waiting for the Head of the Corps to arrive.

Fang Huai was instructed to stand at the very left of the first row, making it easier to step forward.

When they were notified this morning, everyone was a bit surprised.

Fang Huai was going to receive an award again?

Even the Training Squad gathered from afar to join in the excitement.

The NCOs who had heard from Wen Jingsong that Fang Huai got his position through connections were particularly curious.

This morning, Chen Zhechang announced that the ceremony to award the third-class merit would be attended by the Corps leadership.

And it was the senior leadership.

Deputy Head Luo of the Corps and Minister Zhong from the Political Department would be there, as well as Political Commissar Cheng.

With two of the Corps’s seven deputy division commanders coming and the head honcho, Political Commissar Cheng also in attendance.

Captain Zhang managed to secure a third-class merit for his nephew; could he have mobilized such significant efforts? Inviting such a host of senior leaders?

That didn’t seem logical.

Yet Fang Huai had some guesses.

For his mere third-class merit, it would have been enough for a director from the Corps Political Department to issue the order, accompanied by a deputy director from the Firefighting Detachment. Why such high-level involvement?

General Luo, he suspected, must have come for Han Yong.

With General Luo present, naturally, the standard of the whole ceremony was upgraded from top to bottom.

"Hey, Fang Huai, what’s up with this song of yours that even the Corps Captain is coming to award you?"

"Did the leadership upstairs take notice of you or something?"

Inside, however, Fang Huai just smirked.

If they could have delayed awarding him this third-class merit, it might have actually gotten noticed by the higher-ups!

Perhaps, the third-class merit could have turned into a second-class meritorious service!

Although Fang Huai wasn’t particularly concerned about the "songwriting" merit, the physical enhancements were very real!

While everyone was still speculating, the guests arrived.

Three Audi military sedans drove into the squadron.

The person who alighted from the lead car was a leader with a slightly wide face and a crew cut, seemingly portly, exuding an aura of affability.

The two leaders following him were slimmer and appeared to be older.

There was also a colonel and a lieutenant colonel.

Cao Yi and Ye Jiahong turned to look and were about to step forward when the lieutenant colonel gestured for them to come over.

Once they realized it was the director of the propaganda department, they quickly approached and saluted.

"Director Chen!"

It’s common for the leadership to frequent the Provincial Special Duty, and for those stationed there, it’s an essential lesson to remember the faces and names of each Detachment and Corps department leader.

Director Chen nodded, "You... play that song over the squadron’s loudspeakers."

"Yes!" Ye Jiahong promptly dashed upstairs.

The senior leaders began to gather at the entrance of the squadron, casually chatting with their hands folded, their voices loud and clear, although most soldiers couldn’t understand what they were discussing.

"Political Commissar Cheng, of the three publicity objectives for the provincial Detachment this year, Captain Zhang has completed one for you..."

"The work of comparing old and new... your Detachment’s Fire Prevention Office..." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"This year’s ’Urban Firefighting Planning Implementation Proposal’ for the provincial city requires an application for 3.20 million in implementation funds..."

General Luo continuously offered suggestions on the various operations of the provincial Detachment, and Minister Zhong took the opportunity to interject now and then.

Minister Zhong’s influence wasn’t that significant, but with General Luo present today, he could also use the chance to get Political Commissar Cheng to coordinate with the Corps Political Department’s work.

Only Political Commissar Cheng seemed anxious, continually mentioning, "This year’s tasks are heavy, our unit has a large-space exercise this week, and next month..."

The troops from the Second Squad and Training Squad listening quietly on both sides of the entrance.

The leadership’s conversations potentially contained the groundwork for the coming months’ tasks, and everyone carefully listened for assignments relevant to them, the grass-roots soldiers.

At that moment, a soothing melody began to play, returning the leaders to silence. freewēbnoveℓ.com

A pleasant female voice started;

"All are resolute... warm blood courses through you, your..."

Fang Huai’s voice also emerged from the loudspeakers;

"All are ordinary, your selfless dedication..."

"Love for your green uniform, charging into battle, into fire scenes, love for your fearlessness in the face of danger, hardship is all the same!"

...

Soldiers felt their blood boiling with excitement, feeling that the song voiced their sentiments.

Different from the usual military songs, and distinct from "Red, Red Police Camp, Red, Red Me."

Those songs spoke of the barracks, spoke of the might of the troops.

But this song spoke uniquely of the valiant fires faced by firefighters and the bitter pains experienced through growth, as well as the "heroic glory" in everyone’s heart.

Most importantly, it was fashionable.

Everyone felt a thrill; they had to let their girlfriends listen to this song!

A sense of collective honor was revealed through the song’s beautiful melody and moving lyrics.

Wen Jingsong couldn’t help but hum along when it reached the second verse, thinking of letting his college girlfriend hear it too, but then remembering that it was Fang Huai’s song, he stopped, feeling a mix of embarrassment and irritation.

Damn it, if Yu exists, why allow Liang to be?

"Who says only those in the spotlight can be heroes!"

As the final line ended, leading into a rousing musical section, all the leaders present began to applaud.

"This song is really well-written!"

General Luo, probably hearing the song intently for the first time, sounded quite enthusiastic as he praised it, then added:

"This song has great potential! Director Chen, we should really promote it heavily through our channels!"

Being one of the main leaders of the Corps, he, of course, didn’t have time to waste listening to songs, but today, after Director Chen asked if they could play the song before announcing the order, he agreed.
