The leaders didn't waste much time, offering a brief welcome before departing.
Before leaving, Chief of Staff Zhou asked Fang Huai when he was available, as the plan had been approved and recruitment could be arranged.
It was quite a fantastical situation for a regimental-level Chief of Staff to inquire when a deputy squadron leader with the rank of a trainee was free, but neither found it strange. Fang Huai seriously considered his schedule and set the recruitment to take place in the ten or so days after the Grand Martial Arts Competition and before heading to the Military Academy.
The recruitment notice could be published ahead of time, allowing unemployed discharged youth in society to become aware and prepare.
The Chief of Staff, upon hearing that Fang Huai was going to the Military Academy, was somewhat concerned and wanted him to personally handle the management of the contract firefighters.
