After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Chapter 632: Chapter 454: Everything is Set, Departure_2

Fang Huai slapped his own head and laughed, "Yo, I actually have run into him once! But I was busy with an exercise and didn’t have time to say hello! Squad Leader Hao was just talking about him the other day! He said camaraderie with soldiers from the same year is precious, and we should stay in contact and maintain good relations. Director Liu, how is he doing now?"

I was displeased since he didn’t greet me when we met either, but Squad Leader Hao is magnanimous. You decide what to do about it.

Director Liu couldn’t help but sigh deeply inside.

What an awesome person.

"Hao Chengbin is a good squad leader. Oh, right, did he get married recently? There’s a policy for a one-time marriage subsidy for military personnel. Why hasn’t he applied? In the future, when they have children, there’s also an education subsidy, and if his wife isn’t working, there are related subsidies as well...

Tell him about it. The policy for military marriages is very good now. There’s also consideration in medical aspects in the future. But he needs to communicate actively, send up reports, and I will help keep an eye on it from my side."

Fang Huai couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

It’s these experienced political workers alright, who know the policies inside and out. Not to mention Squad Leader Hao, no one brought it up, and even I hadn’t thought of it.

And beyond the policy, the main thing is that someone needs to make an effort to get things done.

"Then thank you for looking after us, Director."

...

The next afternoon, the interview selection for 35 contracted firefighters officially ended.

Fang Huai had secured six spots for the Second Squadron, all with some kitchen experience and computer skills, plus two drivers, making a total of seven spots. For the remaining one, Fang Huai didn’t see anyone he particularly liked, so he planned to allocate it freely.

As it turned out, every cloud has a silver lining.

In the last session, there was a firefighter who had been discharged, named Lan Ling, a five-year veteran from the Shandong General Team. Their Squadron had a professional team, his child had just been born, and he couldn’t find stable work. Hearing that the firefighting service was recruiting contract staff and hoping to earn a thousand or so, he was overjoyed when he found out about the compensation.

Upon hearing his situation, Fang Huai was also thrilled. He asked a few professional questions and inquired about the training at the professional teams in Jiangsu. Right there on the spot, he had him come over to the Special Duty team to sign a contract and later join the Second Squadron for work.

His wife, cradling their baby, was at the door. Hearing that he’d been successfully hired, she was so excited she was about to cry, saying she wanted to buy a pound of meat to celebrate at home.

Upon hearing this, Fang Huai stood up, went out the door, and grabbed Lan Ling.

"Do you live nearby? Come back to the Squadron with me."

Lan Ling was somewhat surprised and asked, "Ah? ...Commander, aren’t I supposed to report next week?" freeweɓnøvel.com

Fang Huai said, "We have some miscellaneous tasks in the Squadron, moving things, and we’re short of hands. You come and help out."

It was almost five o’clock, and Lan Ling hesitated as he looked at his wife and baby.

His wife was very understanding and quickly patted him, "If the leader calls you, then go! I’ll cook at home and wait for you!"

Only then did Lan Ling say, "Alright! I’ll go with you!"

Fang Huai smiled, "Sister-in-law should come too. We’ll all eat together at the Squadron later, and after that, the Squadron’s vehicle will take you back home. He’s going to be returning quite late, and even if you cook early, the food will get cold."

The woman quickly said, "No, no, I still have to clean the house..."

Without another word, Fang Huai waved his hand and walked away.

The couple looked at each other and decided to follow Fang Huai.

...

In the taxi.

"Sister-in-law, what do you do for work?"

"Ah... I help people clean their homes."

"Oh... And you have to take care of the child too, that must be tough, right?"

"It’s fine. I get sent out by the home cleaning service, and I bring the baby with me. Once the cleaning is done, I leave. It doesn’t get in the way. I can do two or three houses a day."

The woman answered while patting her two-month-old daughter, trying to keep her from fussing.

Fang Huai nodded, no longer speaking.

Upon reaching the Squadron, Fang Huai led the couple into the Squadron Department. freёwebnoѵel.com

Cao Yi happened to be there, and as Fang Huai entered, he introduced, "This is the Squadron Secretary, Instructor Cao."

Lan Ling immediately saluted, "Instructor, hello!"

Cao Yi looked at Lan Ling dressed in civilian clothes and curiously at Fang Huai.

Fang Huai then introduced, "Lan Ling, our future full-time Sub-team leader from the firefighter service."

The couple was a bit stunned.

"Leader, how did I become a Captain?"

Fang Huai turned back and smiled, "The Captain gets an extra 300 yuan, but has to do more work. I think you’re good. Are you willing?"

A gleam of joy flashed in the woman’s eyes.

Lan Ling was still a bit surprised as he looked at Cao Yi.

He had been observing Fang Huai along the way. The man was young and had an intern rank, yet he was sitting next to a Colonel during the interviews, and he was the one asking questions throughout. To be honest, in his five years in firefighting, he’d never seen an intern platoon leader with so much authority.

It was the one-bar-three-stars on Cao Yi’s shoulder that gave him a sense of solidity.

"Instructor... is what this Commander is saying true?"

He was unsure if the power of intern platoon leaders had become more significant now, so he added the title "Commander".

Cao Yi laughed and nodded, "What Captain Fang says goes."

Only then did Lan Ling show an expression of joy and rolled up his sleeves, speaking loudly, "Willing! Instructor, Captain, just give me tasks to do!"

Fang Huai had asked him to come without giving much explanation, wanting to see his wife’s attitude. Until now, he had been quite satisfied, so he confirmed him as the leader of the professional team.

"You’ll need to start a few days early, train with the Squadron to get familiar with the situation, and you won’t get paid for these days. Are you okay with that?"

As soon as the woman heard this, she hurriedly answered, "Yes! Husband, you do your work, and I’ll take care of Xi Xi. Don’t worry!"

Lan Ling glanced at his child and then said, "Alright! Captain, give me a Combat Uniform! I can join in on police dispatch and duty! I’ve been in an assault team before!"
