Chapter 553: Chapter 430 Multi-department joint interview scene?_2
All national records in each subject were already in his heart.
"Forget it, the spotlight will come during the Grand Martial Arts Competition."
Fang Huai thought, no longer looking at the high platform, his gaze scanning the distance and silently calculating before saying:
"Corps Captain, I can now take on the siege technique challenge!"
He had already planned his next steps: climbing and crossing hadn’t taken much physical strength, and a steady hand was needed for siege techniques, so he’d do that first. Then he’d rest a bit before tackling the physically demanding Ironman Race. Last would be the four hundred meter supply evacuation, which he held little hope for.
Boss Wu heard this and felt a bit uneasy.
"There’s still time, won’t you rest a bit?"
Fang Huai smiled and stretched a little.
"It’s alright, my body’s warmed up now, which is just perfect!"
Those around him were astounded.
Damn it, warmed up.
The climbing and crossing that would take ordinary soldiers a long time to train for was just a warm-up for him?
Secretary General Hao couldn’t help but use his not insignificant knowledge of physical training to come up and pinch Fang Huai’s arm, clicking his tongue in admiration:
"Hmm, good kid, not a bit of stiffness in the muscles, and the arms aren’t bulky either, all pure lean muscle!"
Hearing the words "the arms aren’t bulky," Fang Huai’s arm muscles subtly bulged.
Secretary General Hao immediately felt the dimension in his hand expand to a surprising degree.
Fang Huai looked at him with a smile on his face.
Secretary General, what’s called "live muscle"? It’s the muscle that grows, that’s what’s alive!
Secretary General Hao’s eyes widened, and seeing the smile on Fang Huai’s face, he burst into hearty laughter.
"You kid... go on and do your best in a moment!"
This "you kid" instantly made the relationship more intimate; a small interaction caught by Fang Huai earned him an extra dose of closeness from Secretary General Hao.
Fang Huai quickly joined in the laughter.
While others didn’t know what they were laughing about, Secretary General Hao held a position high enough to append a bracketed vice title, and his next step was to become a real vice leader of the government—the highest authority present. As he laughed, so did the leadership.
Boss Wu saw that Secretary General Hao was quite happy and felt very reassured.
Firefighting operated under a dual-management system, the military and the local authorities.
In fact, even under local authority, there was a dual-system: the government and public security.
Since it was an active duty troop for public security, public security naturally occupied a guiding position over firefighting, while the local government had a deputy leader in charge of firefighting as well.
The current deputy leader in charge at the Provincial Government was very supportive of firefighting. With the executive deputy already overseeing finance and electricity and another deputy leader responsible for agriculture, forestry, and water dealing with plenty of tasks, it appeared that Deputy Leader Xin, who was about to assume a new role, could very well become firefighting’s next in-charge leader.
With government support, big things could happen. Establishing a good relationship in advance was essential.
Therefore, Boss Wu said with a smile, "Little Fang, Secretary General Hao has high hopes for you. Do your best later and show the leadership!"
Make an effort.
This offered Fang Huai a chance to fail.
According to operational procedures, he could have another go.
Leadership believed that Fang Huai must have put great effort into the previous climbing and traversing but that the following tasks would probably be more challenging.
"Well, that first attempt was quite good, we all witnessed the birth of an outstanding record, which made the trip worthwhile!"
The city leaders said with a smile, expressing their early forgiveness.
All leaders nodded their agreement.
Secretary General Hao, who was standing next to Fang Huai, patted the robust young man.
"How about it, can you handle the upcoming subjects?"
"Reporting to the leadership, I can handle them!" Fang Huai immediately stood up straight and replied.
Secretary General Hao laughed again, "Hahaha... then let’s go!"
...
The next half-hour was when Fang Huai would demonstrate his ferocity.
Climbing and crossing were merely about agility.
Siege techniques.
Atop the training tower, Fang Huai rapidly scaled the ropes, swiftly moving up to the top of the eight-story rope.
Then he switched to a seated suspension, pushing off every two floors, descending at an exaggerated speed, heading towards the lightbulb table, lifting the cutter, and yanking the rope to start it.
"Roar Roar Roar..."
The machine buzzed to life, the cutter quickly moved over the iron wires on top of the lightbulbs, and only then did Fang Huai’s pace slow.
"Zzzt."
A brief buzzing sound.
Without even glancing, Fang Huai immediately moved on to the next lightbulb.
The leaders watched dumbfounded.
It was severed just like that?
Using machinery to clip the wires snug against the lightbulbs and handle beer bottles and ping-pong balls with pliers was a classic firefighting demonstration subject, akin to a surgical operation in firefighting.
Those present, even if they hadn’t seen a competition, had watched firefighting demonstrations.
But the process wasn’t correct.
Don’t they climb a tower first before performing?
And during cutting, isn’t it always done slowly and cautiously? Cutting and moving on so quickly, did he actually sever anything?
Yet what followed was "Zzzt, zzzt, zzzt, zzzt."
Just as fast.
Curiosity about his procedure peaked among the leaders, yet they didn’t want to interrupt his performance. Only when Fang Huai put down the cutter and moved on to clamping various-sized beer bottles did they rush to inspect the steel wires.
Wow.
They were indeed cut.
Moreover, there was only a faint white mark on each lightbulb—consistent on every one.
"Brilliant."
A leader couldn’t help but exclaim with wide eyes.
Usually, they were people accustomed to seeing impressive things, but experience varied by type. Today, they were evidently touching upon an unknown domain, and their astonishment was no different from that of ordinary people.
While they were still in that state of shock, they turned around to see that the beer bottles, originally on the opposite table, were now neatly arranged in the red circles on their side.
Nobody had seen how he did it.
This was like magic, wasn’t it?
Blink and you’ll miss it!
Even Boss Wu’s gaze began to roam, searching until he found the non-commissioned officer who was carrying the video camera and following the whole process. Only then did he relax a bit.
