As the conversation ended, both governnt leaders were reevaluating Fang Huai.
They had always thought that Fang Huai was striving to gain more power for the Firefighting forces, but unexpectedly, he actually proposed to relinquish the most solid and coveted fire inspection authority.
He truly had the heart of a pure child.
Fire inspection, a departnt they were very familiar with, and Fang Huai’s words, they understood, were logical.
But they also knew that cutting nearly twenty thousand personnel was not so simple, a major departnt’s restructuring requires force from above to be possible.
This Little Fang, facing difficulties head on, seed to be willing to disregard his future prospects, sincerely dedicated to the developnt of the Rescue industry.
"Little Fang, I will seriously review your ergency response plan after I return and call a special eting with various departnts. You co too, and we will strive to settle this in one fell swoop," said Mayor Liu with an attitude much more positive, acknowledging Fang Huai.
At the sa ti, he was protecting Fang Huai, helping him to conclude this contentious topic, as there could be no definitive results here—it was not for them to decide, and further discussion was futile.
Fang Huai’s face broke into a smile, about to nod, when Corps Captain Luo, who had been pondering all along, opened his mouth and brought the topic back.
"Little Fang, when you reported your thoughts to the Ministry leaders, what did they say?"
Fang Huai’s smile turned awkward:
"Director Chen said that we should eat one bite at a ti, but he also said that he would rember the na ’Rapid Response Rescue Team.’"
The Firefighting leaders exchanged glances.
It seems that the Director did not oppose it!
But whether his words were a brush-off or encouragent was hard to say; at least, he didn’t reject it outright.
"The exact words?" Corps Captain Luo continued to ask.
Fang Huai nodded, "The exact words, not one changed."
Corps Captain Luo smiled again, "Then what are your thoughts?"
Fang Huai’s lips pressed tight.
Indeed, it wasn’t ti to bring up the matter yet. The best opportunity would be after there were so winds from above about the Firefighting being assigned to local jurisdiction and the inspection going to housing construction. He rembered that in ’13 there was a major investigation, the result of which was that the Firefighting should not be incorporated into local jurisdiction.
Yet, it was still restructured.
Maybe then, proposing self-restructuring would face slightly less resistance.
Besides, restructuring would require changing the law. The Fire Protection Law had just been finalized and would only start to be implented next year. It would not be possible to and it in the short term; they would have to wait for a new opportunity to and the law.
"I think... this is a serious matter, and it needs ti to settle. Actions speak louder than words; let’s build a solid foundation first," Fang Huai said.
At these words, the leaders collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
This matter, unlike those that produce results, was like cutting oneself; not stirring things up for now was a good thing.
However, Corps Captain Luo’s smile showed a trace of inexplicable interest.
Political Commissar Wu would likely retire at the end of his term, surely opting for stability.
Luo, on the other hand, was a few years younger.
Such a big matter inevitably stirred his interest.
These comrades, too cautious.
To him, issues of reform direction and departnt cuts were not taboo, let alone Pandora’s Box. Plenty had spoken about it, with even more exaggerated suggestions, including so who said we should no longer learn from our neighbors but from the West, arguing that the Firefighting should be completely transferred to local jurisdiction, etc.
Did anyone care what was said?
The key was whether it was done, and more crucially, whether it succeeded or not.
For such matters, those who fail do not offend anyone; people just laugh it off, seeing it as overreaching. However, if it were to succeed, planning such a huge undertaking naturally leads to a new horizon, without needing to care about others’ opinions.
In other words, even if he truly offended soone on issues of discourse, while others might fear, he did not.
Having reached his current position, it was ti for him to consider and act on a larger scale.
This matter, not bad, very good.
This Little Fang, capable, indeed a brave general.
With these thoughts, Corps Captain Luo suddenly spoke again:
"Little Fang, the leaders are right, having ideas is good, but the matter is too significant, so we must stay grounded.
However, your current plan, I think the concept is excellent. Bring it to my office when you have ti to discuss the perspectives and your thinking. Let learn from you," Luo said.
This statent caused everyone’s actions to freeze again.
Corps Captain Luo learning from Little Fang?!
Political Commissar Wu turned his head and glanced aningfully at Corps Captain Luo.
Luo was indeed ambitious.
So be it; such matters cannot be accomplished overnight. Once he finishes stabilizing this term, in the future, Wu would not be involved.
Fang Huai also paused, and eting Luo’s gaze, he saw a hint of encouragent.
This look gave him an instantaneous intuition: This was not about learning! Corps Captain Luo wanted to discuss the restructuring with him privately!
Wow, all this ti looking for a strong supporter, and here one was right in front of him!
Fang Huai’s emotions surged, almost standing up as he quickly said:
"Yes, Corps Captain! Whenever you are free, I will co to report to you!"
Leader Hao, having once served as the Secretary-General and the great steward, naturally discerned the partial intention now revealed by Luo; seeing that Little Fang had support, he was quite pleased and reminded him,
"Little Fang, Corps Captain Luo humbly seeks to learn from you, so make sure your materials are well-prepared before you go, and don’t disappoint the leadership, okay!"
"Yes! Thank you, Leader Hao!"
Fang Huai replied loudly, his spirit uplifted.
Unexpectedly, this al had led to a turning point!
Not knowing how much power Luo held, he did know that a Corps Captain would not make decisions lightly.
He should face it positively!
"Hahaha! Co, pour a bowl of soup, and don’t fail to live up to this gourt food!"
