Chapter 743 - 496
No, who is he?!
People’s Armed Police, People’s Liberation Army, can that even be coordinated?!
Soon, Fang Huai’s words indeed had the desired effect.
Principal Luo on the other end remembered how Fang Huai managed to report the plan for the Thousand-Hand Guanyin System to the Chengdu Military Region, recalled that someone had offered eight million yuan at the drop of a hat, and remembered Fang Huai’s decisive role in the system’s development, as well as the assistance he promised to the school to develop its own system for the People’s Armed Police.
Seeing that the Thousand-Hand Guanyin Platform was about to be completed under the collaboration of three academies, Principal Luo was extremely eager as well.
Thinking of these, Principal Luo suddenly burst into laughter.
"You’re quite something, kid! But that won’t be necessary! For academic exams, the suitable environment is key. Our school has a legacy! Every year, many from the Police Duty Squadron who test to return to our academy make it into military engineering! As for the Zhaotong Brigade... Give me your unit and name, and I’ll ask around for you!"
With this initiative, Principal Luo actually started to pitch his offer.
Fang Huai also smiled, hit the mute button, looked up, and turned to Chen Louxiang.
"Uncle Chen, it’s Principal Luo of the Kunming Armed Police Academy. Are you planning to visit Chen Shuang? Want me to handle it all together?"
"Ah?" Chen Louxiang was startled for a moment, but seeing that the phone was still on hold, and knowing the opportunity was precious, he quickly said:
"Yes! Let’s go!"
Only then did Fang Huai turn off the mute.
"Thank you so much, Principal Luo! I’ll text you the unit details in a bit! By the way, can I take my uncle to the squadron to see him? It’s the New Year, and we miss him at home, but as a conscript, I’m afraid a direct visit by family might not look good."
"Heh." Principal Luo chuckled: "You’re a celebrity in the entire army, with the August First Medal awarded by a top leader. Who could stop you and not let you in to provide guidance? They’d welcome you before you could even ask."
Fang Huai’s face twitched.
"...You’re really slapping my face with that comment. The medal is an honor; how could I use it like that? Besides, I’m in casual wear, visiting home."
"Haha, knowing to respect the honor, good! When would you like to visit?"
Uncle Chen in front of him was overjoyed and quickly mouthed: Anytime, anytime!
Fang Huai scratched his head and grinned: "If it’s convenient for you, how about in the next couple of days? We are also undergoing reforms, and after the Spring Festival, I have to report to the government agency leaders."
"I heard from Principal Chen, Little Fang, you are immensely talented! Alright then! To accommodate your schedule, I’ll give you a number. Chief Fang from Zhaotong is actually related to you. Once you arrive, call him; he’ll make arrangements. Finish things early, and come to Kunming to see us. I visited the research side a few days ago, and everything was going smoothly; they’ll probably start testing in a month or so."
Fang Huai replied: "Yes, environmental testing. I’m keeping an eye on it."
"Good, visit our academy when you have time. Director Huang at our school keeps saying you’re a genius and has been wanting to consult with you for a long time."
That sentence was a condition.
Fang Huai immediately said: "You flatter me too much, I’m the one who should be asking for advice. Rest assured, I’ll definitely visit! Thank you so much, Principal Luo!"
After a few pleasantries, the call ended.
All those present were just recovering from their astonishment.
The distant relatives didn’t dare to speak anymore.
What kind of influence does this young man have? Speaking in such terms?
And Chen Louxiang who faced a cold reception when visiting Chen Shuang’s squadron last year and had given up hope this year, also hesitated after his astonishment:
"Fang Huai... Last year when we went, Chen Shuang said he’d be scolded by the leaders. If we go again, could it be..."
Fang Huai chuckled: "He’s a first-class soldier now; it won’t come to that, plus I’ll go too, it’s a good chance to put him to the test."
With that, Chen Louxiang felt much more relieved and no longer cared about the "guests," as he stood up.
"Are you free tomorrow?"
Fang Huai nodded and smiled: "Any day before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is fine, after that, there’s no need to go to Zhaotong; just head to Kunming. The Police Duty Squadron is part of the government agency, so it’s easy to get leave to see him. It won’t be so troublesome."
"Great! I’m going downstairs to tell Aunt Yang! Little Fang, I can’t thank you enough!"
Chen Louxiang shook Fang Huai’s hand vigorously and then hurried downstairs.
After a while, from downstairs came a loud: "Yay!"
What followed was the sound of someone quickly ascending the stairs.
"Fang Huai! We’re going to see Chen Shuang!"
Fang Huai turned towards the door and smiled at Yang Shaoqing.
"A promise is a promise."
