After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 516: Chapter 411: Deputy Squadron Captain!

"What’s going on?"

"Boss Wu, it’s like this..."

A few minutes later, Boss Wu lit another Fu Gui.

The whole regiment regarded the lighting of a Fu Gui as the highest form of etiquette, not because it was China or 1916, but because Boss Wu loved to smoke Fu Gui.

"Oh... you’re saying Leader Liu is also here?"

Zhang Zhongting nodded, "That’s what he said."

Tsk tsk, not simple at all.

Boss Wu reopened the notification of the trial squadron and looked at it.

"Hmm, this needs to be taken seriously."

Boss Wu did not specify what to take seriously, but Zhang Zhongting quickly seized the opportunity to speak up.

"Boss Wu, you see... Should I take this opportunity to represent our whole corps on a trip to BJ and personally ask for guidance from Director Yu? The funding for the corps next will still need support from the government, and given this matter, Director Yu has financial authority."

Boss Wu glanced at him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Is it convenient?"

Zhang Zhongting could neither say it was convenient nor that it was inconvenient.

If it was convenient, it meant he had already found a channel to communicate with the leadership; why hadn’t he mentioned this earlier? Did he feel that our corps platform was too small and now needed to communicate with the leadership on important matters?

If it was inconvenient, why bother going at all? ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"I’m not clear either, but let’s try using this opportunity to see if we can establish more channels in the future."

With one use of "we," he made his allegiance clear.

At that, the smile on Boss Wu’s face fully unfurled.

"Okay, then, you try it out."

Having said that, he moved his mouse back to the title page and chuckled:

"This Little Fang, not bad. I had thought about whether to ask the government to reserve a promotion spot for him, but... it’s a shame. I wanted him to cooperate closely with He Zhijun and other outstanding soldiers from different detachments to strive for excellence at this year’s national competitions, to bring honor to our whole corps."

Now, Zhang Zhongting also showed a smile:

"He mentioned this to me. He wants to go, and Director Yu has put him in charge of the trial squadron matters and approved his leave. Leader Liu also encouraged him to perform well; he said he’s determined to earn some respect."

"Oh? That’s good!" Boss Wu laughed when he heard this.

But, after mulling it over, he felt a bit envious:

"Hey, this kid, I’ve encouraged him to his face too! Why didn’t he say he would earn respect then?"

Zhang Zhongting immediately rounded out the conversation: "Boss Wu, it’s his duty to earn respect for our whole corps. Even if he were on the world stage one day, he would still be your soldier."

"Hahaha..."

A flattery never fails.

Taking advantage of the leadership’s good mood, Zhang Zhongting asked:

"Boss Wu, how should we handle the funding for this project? Since the superiors value it, should we be cautious?"

He spoke the word "project" very slowly, as if contemplating.

Boss Wu then restrained his smile, looked at him, nodded, and said, "What do you think?"

Zhang Zhongting had already thought of an excuse.

"Little Fang is indeed very ambitious, and he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to set a benchmark for our whole corps. However, the expenses might be huge. I think we should manage the money ourselves initially and not let it be wasted. We can start by exchanging the equipment that had been allocated to them outside of the regular plan for our corps’ use. As for the rest, let them submit a financial plan for approval, and we’ll help them oversee it."

"How much is that part of the funds?"

"Around three million."

"...Only three million?"

Zhang Zhongting pondered, "Does that count the fire truck? We’ve just used this plan to ask the Provincial Government for funds, and moreover, I find this project very meaningful. If they can implement it according to plan, they might actually need a Rescue Helicopter to achieve maximum effectiveness."

The moment Boss Wu heard that, he immediately shook his head, "We definitely can’t afford a Rescue Helicopter; the corps’ funds cannot cover it."

Zhang Zhongting revealed a sly smile, "Of course, we can’t bear the cost. We have to pick the right moment to approach the provincial government. But, it depends on their performance, whether we can make a convincing case. It’s easier to request equipment than money, after all. Helicopter pilots would definitely need to be provided by the government; if we want it, we’ll have to ask for the whole set."

"Alright then, do it as you’ve said."

"So... about Little Fang’s position, shall we arrange something for him? It’s not reasonable for just a soldier to arrange such a significant matter."

Issues, from big to small.

Zhang Zhongting brought this up last, and Boss Wu seemed relieved.

He smoothed back his hair again and chuckled:

"I left a position open for him in the Second Squadron, didn’t I? Let him take over that one temporarily."

"Mm... There’s currently one vacant deputy squadron leader, should the acting order come from the detachment or the whole corps?"

"Deputy positions and at the company grade do not need public announcement; an order from the detachment will suffice."

As Boss Wu finished speaking, he extended his hand, his voice rising:

"Now from top to bottom, all privileges are given to him. Let Little Fang fight for respect! He must train a force that can be deployed, can win battles, and can withstand the test of reality!"

Zhang Zhongting also stood up and gave a solemn salute.

"Yes! I will oversee it!"

...

Second Squadron, backyard.

"Rumble rumble rumble..." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Tat tat tat..."

The Back Mountain was already being excavated; several excavators had broken open a gap in the backyard wall of the Squadron and were vigorously leveling the hill.

It was quite noisy.

Fortunately, a construction service road next to the hill provided a way out, and trucks did not need to pass through the Squadron, alleviating some pressure on the Guard Post.

At this moment.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"Yes! Alright! Goodbye, Regimental Commander!"

Although Cao Yi stood by the back door of the canteen, his vibrant voice echoed across the entire Playground.
