After all, it’s a Military Academy, and you must meet the physical standards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain Wu felt a bit relieved and pushed open the door of Squad Nine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, three were sitting on folding stools, and three were standing. Seeing Wu Niandong enter, they all stood straight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Squadron Leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jin Guotao, your squad’s Fang Huai has arrived. Take him to get his things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single sentence from Captain Wu, everyone in the class turned to look at the young face behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, this is Fang Huai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they had arrived, all the squads had a list of names, and everyone was familiar with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just their squad, people from several nearby squads had discussed the long-absent Fang Huai countless times, speculating that he must be a person with connections. And within a small collective like a squad, the impression of Fang Huai’s name was even more deeply etched than in the larger Squadron or Big Team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Newcomers to the Military Academy had a hard time – with constant checks and speeches, daily rituals and rules, and an intensive induction training regime. During the parade training sessions, this brother had managed to avoid everything perfectly, which inevitably sparked some envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, these things did not have much of an impact on Eighth Squadron, as it was only composed of recommended students and merit-based cadre promotion students – conditions that could only be met by those with significant experience. Compared to ordinary students and squad leaders, management here was relatively relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their curiosity was piqued more than anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Captain, I will take him now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Guotao was straightforward in his work. After speaking, he turned his head and instructed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Sun, if I’m not back by evening self-study, you take them straight to the classroom. I’ll bring him to find you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The school’s Academic Leadership was still in the office after dinner, checked Fang Huai’s information, had him fill out a bunch of forms, and issued his student ID and books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the regular uniform and rank, they gave him a slip – he would have to pick it up tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai left with a pile of books, flipping through them as he walked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Practical English for Firefighting,\" \"Firefighting Technology Equipment,\" \"Maoist Theory,\" \"Introduction to Law,\" \"Brief of Physics,\" \"Organic Chemistry,\" \"Military Physical Education\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite a diverse curriculum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was even \"Theory of Military Command\" and \"Basics of Computer Applications.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"District Team Leader, are there military courses too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... military theory courses. It’s a Military Academy, after all, so of course, these exist, but they are infrequent, not our main focus of study. Maybe one or two classes every week or two. Our class has a dense schedule; aside from our District Team’s courses, we also attend some with other District Teams. As a cadet brought in for merit, you have a heavy study burden, so be mentally prepared. Take some time to study well during evening self-study, cherish your time at the Military Academy – it’s precious, don’t let it slip by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Eighth Squadron generally didn’t have a high level of education, so the academic pressure was quite high. Cadre promotion students only had about half a year to study, and their schedule was so tight it was headache-inducing. Fang Huai arrived even later, prompting Jin Guotao to remind him earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai listened but couldn’t help smiling: \"Yeah, I think it’s great, lots to learn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jin Guotao gave Fang Huai another look: \"How’s your physical ability?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad, I guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the 11th, the school will organize a sports meeting. Our Squadron needs to send four people for each event. Do you want me to sign you up for something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The 11th... I have to go to Beijing on the 7th, and I won’t be back until the 9th, so the timing might not work out. Let’s not bother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Guotao’s eyes widened: \"You’re going to take leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai pondered for a moment: \"Hmm, I’m acting as the deputy squadron leader at my unit, and I have considerable responsibilities. I need to go back in November for work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk, tsk, tsk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Definitely has connections – not even commissioned yet, and he’s already holding a position. Such strict regimentation at the Military Academy, yet when he says he needs to take leave, he gets leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jin Guotao suddenly felt that mentioning things like final exams was a waste – maybe Fang Huai didn’t even need to worry since a mere signature from the school would let him pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only say: \"... The time at the academy is truly wonderful, and it’s a pity not to experience it fully. These two terms, even we feel they are too short.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai turned his head to look at Jin Guotao, sensing the District Team Leader’s sense of responsibility, and couldn’t help saying with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all work, no matter where you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jin Guotao shook his head: \"Everyone envies our class, saying we can be lieutenants after just one year of training. Recommended students have to study for two years and intern for most of that before getting commissioned, but who knows our struggles? Once out of the Military Academy, without strong connections, we’re basically tied to low-level positions as cadres, and promotion...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he made a chopping motion with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Fang Huai’s youthful face that invited envy, he chuckled self-mockingly: \"You’re different... By the way, which period are you from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Jin Guotao’s words dripping with bitterness and seeing his aged face, Fang Huai couldn’t bear to burst his bubble, so he replied with a secretive smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not important. In the end, we’re all pretty much the same. It’s good enough to be promoted. Many in our whole corps with big connections haven’t met the direct promotion requirements. There might not be such an opportunity in the future. We’re quite fortunate, so let’s do our best at the grassroots level. At least the pay is better for cadres.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Fang Huai actually cared about salary, Jin Guotao felt a stronger connection, and his confidence rose a bit. He laughed and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s also true. You’re just from Period One, right? I’m in my seventh year. After finishing one year here, I’ll go back to my Squadron and work another four years, then I can apply for reassignment. I aim to get home early to work as a police officer, and if I’m lucky, maybe there’s a chance to move into a government agency.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Huai felt like laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was struggling to extend his time in the grassroots as long as possible, while others dreamed day and night of moving to a government agency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Personal development planning is difficult to discuss in lofty terms – it boils down to each person’s individual goals, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>",1165,"2026-06-02T10:17:15.104Z",1,"novelbin.me","a567c955add6f03aec12c1a10070b797089d88235522dad2621347925800c8eb","after-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-chapter-639","after-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-chapter-637",807,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-being-reborn-i-became-a-firefighter-again-cover.jpg"]
