After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 256: Chapter 199 - Who is showing off their wealth in front of this official?_2

One top notch skill is a talent.

Two, three skills...

That would make a warrior.

A warrior who can represent the whole corps and gallop through the battlefield.

Boss Wu once again pondered for a moment before saying,

"This is an extraordinary talent that must be well cultivated. Is He Zhijun coming back? Have He Zhijun train him."

Zhang Zhongting immediately spoke, "There’s no need for that, Boss Wu. Each person has their own way of growing. Currently, an old non-commissioned officer is training him, and I think he’s doing quite well.

It’s just... there’s been a significant change in his family situation recently, and I’m afraid he might not be willing to stay in the troops for long."

Boss Wu furrowed his brows:

"Oh? What do you mean? Didn’t you just say he’s willing to stay, to participate in the Grand Martial Arts Competition, and to strive for a promotion?"

Zhang Zhongting smiled and said, "Yes, but his family has made quite a bit of money in business, and the family’s financial situation has improved greatly lately. This kid joined the troops and is too generous. Whatever comes up, he takes it on himself. My sister and brother-in-law are finding it difficult to cope and are thinking of having him serve his two years and then be discharged.

Like a few days ago, he attended the funeral of the hero Wang Yunkun. When he learned that Wang Yunkun was not posthumously honored as a martyr and that his family was in debt, he called over his father and donated one hundred thousand yuan to the hero’s family."

Zhang Zhongting saw that Boss Wu was keenly interested and immediately rode the wave, attempting to obtain some conditions for Fang Huai.

When negotiating conditions, it’s important to express Fang Huai’s love for the troops while also making it clear that he has other options.

Without special treatment, you really won’t be able to keep my nephew. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Oh?" The leaders all looked surprised.

The matter of Wang Yunkun’s posthumous honor had been discussed at the corps level, but unfortunately, the Ministry Of Civil Affairs had its strict requirements, and the leaders were all quite regretful.

Being able to help solve the hero’s family difficulties was a good thing!

General Luo now interrupted, hands behind his back, saying: "Having a wealthy family background shows that his motivation for joining the troops is pure!

He can contribute to the troops with undivided attention!

However, to a business family, one hundred thousand yuan isn’t much. The troops’ compensation is getting higher and higher; as long as he becomes an officer, he will also be able to save up a lot of money. Your sister and brother-in-law are worrying too much."

Who dares to flaunt wealth in front of this official?

Speaking about money, General Luo really doesn’t lack any. His father and several siblings are all in business, and they do big business at that.

If this mere one hundred thousand is overwhelming, they don’t really count as business people, do they? And do they look down on the development of the troops?

Commissar Zou and Boss Wu both nodded. One hundred thousand might be a lot, but as the child develops in the troops, he will not be short of future welfare and compensation, and his growth in the troops is priceless.

"Cough, this was just something that happened a few days ago," Zhang Zhongting continued:

"Two months ago, Fang Huai got involved in publicity work. Finding fire protection publicity challenging, he had his parents sponsor 3.8 million yuan in new wireless loudspeakers to Sichuan Townships, loaded with fire protection audio for regular broadcasts. The Publicity Department of the Sichuan General Team has been busy with this recently.

He’s only been in the troops for just over four months and has donated nearly four million yuan. You tell me, who can bear that?"

Zhang Zhongting’s tone was as if he were reprimanding a profligate son.

"Ahem, cough, cough..." General Luo was taken aback.

To support their son’s ideas, they donated four million yuan?

No wonder Han Yong said his family wasn’t short of money, that they were very wealthy, casually giving four hundred thousand. Why would they care about Han Yong’s small tricks?

Commissar Zou and Boss Wu’s jaws dropped even further.

Guizhou is a poor place, and probably few in the entire province can let their children throw money around like this, right?

There are many who donate money, but donations to charity can be tax-deductible.

But sponsorship may not necessarily be tax-deductible, and this money is likely just flowing away!

Does Zhang Zhongting’s family have some background like General Luo’s?

"Zhongting, your family is from Chongqing, right?" Boss Wu asked.

"Yes, Boss Wu," Zhang Zhongting said with a smile.

"Oh..." Boss Wu nodded, his look towards Zhang Zhongting growing more cautious.

Chongqing, a big place.

"Tsk, this young fellow, aspiring to be an officer, is a good thing. With sufficient financial support from home, once he becomes an officer, there should be fewer concerns regarding integrity... Good cultivation is needed. When the Grand Martial Arts Competition comes, if he can truly win honor for the corps... we should support him, Political Commissar, don’t you think?"

As Boss Wu spoke, he looked at Commissar Zou with a smile.

Commissar Zou smiled and waved his hand, but did not speak.

Watching a new star rising, his heart was filled with more regret than joy.

He wouldn’t see it happen.

At that moment, Fang Huai ran over from the training tower, his face full of joy.

He had just asked the referee, and he was currently first in two individual events, which meant that if no one surpassed him in those events, 20 points of military merit were about to be credited to him. freewebnøvel.com

Thank you, leadership!

In his eyes, military merit was far more important than money!

Fang Huai quickly ran to the leaders, standing at attention and saluting.

"Report to the Political Commissar, Corps Captain! Had some mistakes on the scaling ladder, but I still have one more chance. This afternoon, after a good rest, I will climb again in my best state!

Thank you, leaders, for this opportunity!"

"Oh? You can improve your score? Good! I’m looking forward to your final results! If you make it into the top three in the individual rankings, I will personally award you the third-class merit!"

Boss Wu was sparing with words but meaningful.

Political Commissar Zou seemed somewhat moved: "Young man, perform well! In the year that I am about to leave the troops, seeing an outstanding new recruit like you gives me great comfort! I hope that as you grow up, you won’t forget us old folks!"

Those words were not only for Fang Huai but also for the younger ones surrounding him.

Fang Huai smiled at once: "Political Commissar, don’t say that the setting sun is less splendid; the whole sky is still full of its glow! You are still young!

When you spoke at the new recruit group’s training commencement, ’Time waits for no one; seize every moment,’ those words have become my personal creed. I firmly remember what you said!"

"Oh?" Political Commissar Zou looked surprised, not expecting this soldier to remember his words, and then burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha... those were the words written by the office secretary, but I’m very pleased they can inspire you! Today, I’ll give you ten more words!

Where is Chang’an to be found? Under the hooves of horses!

Your talent is extremely high. As long as you can persevere, you will certainly be the center of attention! I hope you can develop well in the firefighting forces and reach new heights!"

"Yes, Political Commissar! I remember!" Fang Huai’s face turned serious as he saluted once again.

The other leaders were all amazed.

Damn, this kid’s got what it takes to be an officer, casually quoting what the leadership has said, making them so happy they personally give him words of encouragement.

Could it be that he knew he would meet the leadership today?

Boss Wu, a bit enviously, spoke up:

"Little Fang, you can remember the Political Commissar’s words, but can you remember what I said at the new recruit group’s training commencement?"

Fang Huai immediately said, "Corps Captain, that day, you didn’t say anything! You just said eight words, ’Train well and serve the state!’ and then left the stage!"

"Hahaha..." Boss Wu laughed, then said to the surrounding circle, "I didn’t expect this kid to really remember! Do you know why I didn’t say anything that day? I drank too much tea and had to pee urgently!"

"Hahahaha..."

Everyone burst into laughter.
