Dai Li had heard Yu Ruifeng mention before that the leaders of the Fire Brigade were extremely concerned about the replacement of fire-fighting equipment. Not only did they open a green channel for rapid approval throughout the process, they also inquired about the progress every day.
All the leaders in this city who are able to spare time are here today.
Dai Li had expected to meet many important people today, but she did not expect that they would come out to greet her in person.
Seeing the flash of surprise on her face, Yu Ruifeng explained, "The leaders are all very curious about you. You should know that the constant temperature suit and flame-retardant mist you invented are very useful. The leaders have been wanting to meet you for a long time."
The colonel with two bars and three stars standing in the middle of the crowd was the most important leader present. He had a serious and upright square face with thick, sharp eyebrows, but when he smiled it was completely different, with a very kind and approachable face.
"I was so busy recently that I really couldn't spare the time. Today I finally have the chance to meet our heroes behind the scenes."
Dai Li: "You are too kind. Anyone here is more worthy of being called a hero than me."
The senior leader laughed heartily and said, "Don't be so modest. We all serve society and the people. You are improving the quality of our service and ensuring the safety of our soldiers. You are our heroic guardian. Calling you a hero is no exaggeration."
The major who had met Dai Li before said, "I really underestimated you back then. You said you invented a flame-retardant mist. I figured it would be similar to our dry powder fire extinguishers, at most applicable in more scenarios and for more types of fires. I never expected you to surprise us with such a big surprise."
Dai Li: "More importantly, the cooperation of all the leaders is crucial. Thanks to your communication, we were able to implement the system so quickly."
Major: "To be honest, Xiao Yu's contribution is not small."
The senior leader also followed suit, praising him, "You're a good kid, and you're smart. You were able to find a greater use for your wife's new clothes. I was optimistic about you and wanted to promote you. Alas, fate is so cruel. If we had constant temperature clothing and flame-resistant mist earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this..."
Yu Ruifeng: "Commander, please don't feel sorry for me. I don't feel sorry at all. I'm living a good life now. I earn more money than before and have more free time. I can go home every day to have dinner with my wife. You don't have time to go home every day to see your wife and children, do you?"
The big boss was so angry that he pointed his finger at his nose and said, "Your mouth is still the same as before."
The major said, "He was just being stubborn. I don't know who was wiping his tears in the ward at the time. He left quietly on the day of his demobilization and didn't dare to let anyone see him off."
Yu Ruifeng cleared his throat and stopped talking.
The big boss said: "Okay, I won't expose your shortcomings anymore. Anyway, I will still record your contribution."
Yu Ruifeng: "Chief, please don't flatter me. I can't bear it. I don't have much merit. It's mainly thanks to Miss Xiao Dai."
Dai Li: "Brother Yu, why don't you have any credit? Your greatest contribution is helping me clear out the inventory of constant temperature clothing. Otherwise, they would still be gathering dust in my house."
Yu Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, then he was amused by her joke, and then several leaders also laughed out loud.
At the entrance of the fire brigade, Guan Honghou was in the car, watching through the glass as Dai Li had a pleasant conversation with the leaders of the fire brigade.
He stroked his chin and stood still as a mountain, neither getting out of the car nor speaking.
His assistant couldn't figure out what he meant, and just sitting there wasn't a solution.
The assistant turned around and asked, "Boss, are we going down yet?"
Guan Honghou couldn't make up his mind either.
Dai Li seemed to be coming to the fire station to discuss serious matters, so it seemed inappropriate for him to go down.
But now that I'm here, I have to go down. It would be a waste of today's opportunity.
Guan Honghou's choice is wavering. If he goes down, he might end up making things worse; if he doesn't go down, he might miss the opportunity.
Guan Honghou gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
"You guys wait in the car, I'll go down and check the situation first."
He straightened his clothes, tucked the briefcase containing the contract under his arm, and walked forward with his head held high and his chest expanded.
After entering, I heard Yu Ruifeng's voice saying, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that I got a great deal. If you have any constant temperature suits in stock, come to me and I'll take whatever you have."
Dai Li: "Then it won't be 500 per piece."
Yu Ruifeng: "It's time to raise the price. I want it even if it goes to 5,000."
Guan Honghou only heard the second half of his words, which included the key words "constant temperature clothing". Yu Ruifeng said he wanted to take it.
There are really people trying to steal business!
They've all started putting prices on clothes!
Fortunately, I got off the car, otherwise this business would have been snatched away.
Guan Honghou took two steps at a time and trotted to Dai Li.
Guan Honghou is not tall, and there is some fat on his face from eating too much. It shakes up and down with his steps, and the picture is quite funny.
He ran over with a smile on his face and said, "Miss Dai, I'm sorry I'm late. Please review the contract we agreed on earlier. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me and I will make changes immediately."
Everyone present was puzzled by the behavior of the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of them.
Before Yu Ruifeng could react, Guan Honghou squeezed in front of Yu Ruifeng and pushed him behind him.
Not only that, Guan Honghou glanced at Yu Ruifeng without any expression.
He snorted in his heart, thinking that he still wanted to rely on his relationship with the fire department to snatch the business away. That was wishful thinking. No one could snatch the business away from him!
Yu Ruifeng stared at the back of the head in front of him in confusion.
Hearing him speak, Dai Li guessed who he was: "Are you Mr. Guan?"
When facing Dai Li, Guan Honghou immediately changed his expression and smiled: "Yes, yes, it's me, Guan Honghou. You asked me to come here. Let's talk about cooperation."
Guan Honghou was afraid that she would forget things, so he quickly took out the contract and helped her open it.
The contract he prepared was not vague at all. It was a thick stack, almost one centimeter thick.
Guan Honghou meant that she should look at it immediately.
Dai Li was quite troubled: "Mr. Guan, I don't have time to read it now. You have to wait a while."
Guan Honghou's heart was filled with alarm. What was he waiting for? He could wait, but his business could not.
If he waited any longer, he wouldn't be able to drink even a sip of soup.
"Don't think it's too long, it's actually not that long and I can finish it in an hour."
Dai Li:......
How could he say that? It takes an hour to watch and you still say there isn't much content?
Dai Li: "Boss Guan, we are not in a hurry. I promised to talk to you and I will not break my promise, let alone stand you up. But I don't have time to look at it now, so I can only trouble you to wait for a while."
"Really?" Guan Honghou couldn't believe it. He had just heard them talking about business.
"Miss Dai, you won't sign a contract with someone else without telling me?"
Dai Li didn't know why he felt a sense of crisis that others were stealing his business.
"Don't worry, no one has contacted me except you."
Guan Honghou glanced at Yu Ruifeng behind him in confusion.
"Doesn't he also want to be your partner?"
"He already is."
"Huh?!" Guan Honghou's pupils suddenly widened.
"But he's not the same type of partner as you."
Guan Honghou didn't understand what different types of cooperation meant.
He had limited knowledge of constant temperature materials and didn't know what else he could do besides making clothes and selling them.
He asked cautiously, "What type of cooperation are they?"
Several leaders standing nearby also understood that the boss in front of them was worried that his business would be taken away.
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
The big boss said, "Want to know what kind of cooperation we have? Then come in and take a look."
Guan Honghou was taken to the fire brigade for unknown reasons.
Technicians on site are training active firefighters and teaching them how to use new equipment.
Even if Guan Honghou was confused, he could tell that the fabric of the new combat uniform looked somewhat familiar.
He suddenly realized: "So you also took on the fire department's business. That's right, your clothes are made of breathable and warm fabrics. Giving them to our firefighters will make them more mobile."
After hearing Guan Honghou's words, the leaders around him laughed again.
"Thermostatic materials are more than just breathable and warm."
"what else?"
The big boss deliberately kept it a secret: "You'll know when you see it yourself."
Dai Li came here with another mission today, which was to help Yu Ruifeng's technical staff train the firefighters.
After all, the constant temperature material was developed by her, she is more familiar with the material and can better answer the soldiers' questions.
There are more than 400 active firefighters in their fire brigade.
They all gathered together at this time.
The soldiers heard about it a few days ago that they would be replacing their equipment soon.
Everyone was very excited when they heard the news. It is said that the new equipment is not only lighter and thinner, but also has improved performance.
They discussed it quite a bit during breaks.
"I wonder how much weight the fireproof suit can save."
"How many more pounds? I'd be happy if I could save a pound with the helmet and fireproof boots combined."
"I'm just fantasizing. If my equipment could be a few pounds lighter, I could last longer on patrol."
A full set of firefighting equipment is very heavy. The fireproof suit, helmet, fireproof boots, oxygen cylinder, etc. together weigh at least 30 kilograms.
No matter how strong the firefighters are, it will greatly affect their speed of action.
The squad leader said, "Don't think about unrealistic things. Even if the equipment is a few pounds heavier, you have to hold on at the mission site. If we can't hold on, what's the point? We are all ordinary people behind us."
In order to avoid being caught by the squad leader for training, the firefighters in the team no longer dared to have any illusions about the new equipment.
When the day came to receive the new equipment, the soldiers thought they were receiving the thin combat uniforms as their regular uniforms.
After receiving the clothes, someone asked: "Squad leader, why are the casual clothes so thin in winter?"
The squad leader is only responsible for organizing people to collect their clothes, how could he know so much?
"Just wear what you get. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" the squad leader yelled at the soldier.
There were so many leaders at the scene, but at this moment a troublemaker showed up to cause trouble, making it seem that they had no discipline at all in front of the leaders.
Dai Li explained: "This is not your regular uniform, it's your combat uniform."
The soldiers who were receiving clothes around looked over.
Most of them did not know Dai Li, and even those who knew her did not dare to confirm it, because Dai Li's dress now was so different from before.
In the past, she would always dress up and wear exquisite makeup on every occasion.
Today she was dressed very casually and had no makeup on.
She is just an ordinary person who looks a bit like Dai Li.
Dai Li: "Your uniform is the dark blue one next to it."
The firefighters who had already received their uniforms compared the two sets of clothes in their hands and fell silent.
Apart from the different colors and styles, are there any differences in the fabrics between these two sets of clothes?
Someone asked a common question: "It seems that these two clothes are only different in style, and the material is the same."
It’s easy to make casual clothes out of any material, but combat uniforms use the same material. Isn’t this a joke?
Dai Li replied loudly: "Generally speaking, there is no difference. They are all made of the same material. I call this material constant temperature material..."
She introduced the characteristics and application scope of the material to the soldiers in detail.
All the soldiers in the audience listened attentively, and most of them were still in shock when she finished speaking.
Everyone looked at the new equipment in their hands in disbelief.
"Is it really as you said? Such a thin piece can maintain body temperature and isolate the fire and heat from the outside?"
Yu Ruifeng said, "I can assure you that there is no exaggeration. We have tested the material many times and the performance is absolutely stable. The leaders have also personally inspected it. Otherwise, we would not have sent it to you."
The soldiers at the scene were speechless for a long time.
How to describe their current mood?
Some people are very happy because their equipment is lighter.
Some people are suspicious and will still have doubts in their hearts even if their superiors approve of something.
Some people are practical people. If you say that they only need to wear one layer of clothes in the cold winter to maintain their body temperature, they will actually take off their winter clothes on the spot and put on their new casual clothes.
Gradually, more and more people put on the new uniforms. After trying them on, they finally understood that what Dai Li said was right. These clothes really can keep you warm!
"Oh my god, I've never worn such comfortable clothes. They're warm, comfortable, breathable, and close-fitting. They're even more comfortable than the silk clothes my mom loves to buy!"
"Why is this dress so warm? Is it my illusion? It feels like I'm wearing a military coat."
"It's more comfortable than a military coat. Wearing a military coat is either cold or hot, and it's hard to find a comfortable state. But wearing this coat is different. The temperature is very mild and I don't feel dry at all."
"That's true. I usually sweat a lot, but this piece of clothing is very breathable. It allows you to breathe without feeling cold."
The firefighters, who are usually very disciplined, began to have heated discussions with their comrades.
Even the squad leader, who always pays attention to discipline, ignored it and completely forgot that the leaders were present.
After everyone's excitement died down, they noticed that the leaders were still looking at him.
The soldiers suddenly became quiet, lined up in formation, and remained silent.
The senior leader, hands behind his back, instructed, "Don't be so nervous, everyone. I'm glad you're satisfied with the new equipment. Your satisfaction proves our efforts were worthwhile. Don't just focus on your clothes. We have more than just this piece of good equipment. We also have flame-retardant mist, which is a great thing. Everyone, hurry up and familiarize yourself with the new equipment. We must answer every call, respond to every call, respond quickly, and handle every call effectively. With the help of the new equipment, we will be safer, faster, and more successful in completing every call."
There was thunderous applause at the scene.
The senior leader said: "Okay, let's continue to let Teacher Xiao Dai explain the relevant instructions for flame-retardant mist."
Dai Li also personally explained the flame-retardant mist to them and instructed them on how to operate it on the spot.
Under Dai Li's guidance, they easily extinguished the flames of the large oil barrel with flame-retardant mist.
The fire extinguishing speed is dozens of times that of dry powder. Just spray it once, the mist will spread quickly and the flame will be extinguished.
There is no need to spray the fire continuously for tens of seconds like a dry powder fire extinguisher to put out the fire.
It can also greatly reduce the use of water, making it more environmentally friendly and energy-saving.
The soldiers excitedly tried it out one after another and kept sharing their experiences.
They all came to the same conclusion: the new firefighting equipment is amazing!
Each of them is looking forward to going out on patrol with the new equipment. They will be the first firefighters to go out on patrol with the new equipment!
Dai Li completed her work and explained everything she needed to teach them. They also understood the characteristics of constant temperature materials and flame-retardant mist and related precautions.
After retiring successfully, she finally had time to meet Guan Honghou.
After seeing the applicable scope of constant temperature materials on site, Guan Honghou's respect for Dai Li increased sharply.
After seeing the constant temperature material, he thought of joining forces to sell clothes to make some money and fill his wallet.
But what they thought of was to make fire-fighting uniforms, which have a different pattern.
But he is just an ordinary man, and he still has to earn money.
And this business cannot be snatched away by anyone else.
Yu Ruifeng teased Guan Honghou, "Is this boss still worried that I'll steal your business?"
Guan Honghou smiled awkwardly: "How can we steal any business? You guys are doing big things, unlike me who makes small money."
Dai Li came over and said, "Boss Guan, let's go and take a look at your contract."
When Guan Honghou heard the word "contract", it was like the sound of jade entering his ears.
When he saw her, he smiled like a Maitreya Buddha and attentively led her the way: "This way, please. Teacher Xiao Dai, do you want to find a store nearby to talk, or come to our company? The location is up to you."
Dai Li: "Let's find a place nearby to sit down and talk. We won't go far away. I have things to do when I get back."
"Okay, there's a club nearby with a nice environment. I'm a member there. I'll ask someone to reserve a table right away."
The major looked at Guan Honghou's attentive back as he walked away and said jokingly, "This Xiao Dai is quite busy."
Yu Ruifeng thought of the time when he had collaborated with Dai Li some time ago and had the honor of witnessing her time management ability. He laughed and said, "Isn't she busy?"
The big boss said: "This girl is not an ordinary person, she can achieve great things."
Yu Ruifeng and the major agreed with this.
After Dai Li had left for a long time, a soldier suddenly asked, "Who was the beautiful young lady who just came to explain to me?"
"You know what, she looks a bit like Dai Li. I've secretly watched her several times, but I think she's prettier."
"Can they be compared? She's certainly better looking. Her explanations are clear and concise, and she's very patient. She can answer any question with ease. She's even more professional than the experts at Brother Yu's place. By the way, Brother Yu, is she also from your company?"
"She's not from my company." Yu Ruifeng said with a smile.
The soldiers looked at each other and their teammates, their faces full of confusion.
"Isn't it your company? Then why did she come with you and explain the training to us?"
Yu Ruifeng: "Because she is the person who developed our new equipment, constant temperature materials and flame-retardant mist."
The soldiers never expected this to be the answer.
They thought that the new equipment was developed by a group of experts, but they never expected that there was only one person behind the scenes.
And she is so young and beautiful.
However, Yu Ruifeng's next words shocked them even more.
"Her name is Dai Li."
There was silence for a long time before a voice asked, "Could it be?"
Yu Ruifeng admired their amused expressions for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Yes, that's the Dai Li you know."
After a few seconds, this group of young warriors burst into atavistic sounds.
They all regretted their mistake just now. Why didn't they think of taking a photo with Dai Li, asking for her autograph, or at least a handshake would be fine.
There were all kinds of sounds at the Fire Department, such as the howling of ghosts and wolves.
There is absolutely no discipline.
Several leaders had just gotten into the car and were about to leave when they heard noises behind them through the car windows.
"What's going on? This is happening again."
"You're all excited to receive the new equipment, right? You're all young guys," the senior leader said. "Not only are they excited, but even I can't help but be excited. Let's wait and see how they implement it. If it's good, we'll increase production and officially start full-scale implementation next week."
The effect that the big boss wanted to see came out on the same day.
On that day, the fire brigade received a fire alarm in an old residential building. A mobile vendor violated the regulations and caused a gas tank to explode. When the fire truck arrived, the fire had already formed a chimney effect at the scene and spread to the roof.
The fire truck from the neighboring team arrived first and was spraying water to cool down the building. Firefighters wearing fireproof suits were also preparing to enter the building to rescue the trapped residents.
After they arrived at the scene, they took over the work of the team next door.
The neighboring team saw them wearing thin combat uniforms, carrying light and compact fire extinguishers, and not even wearing breathing filters. They rushed into the fire scene without looking back, so they stopped them and scolded them for trying to kill themselves.
Later, after the squad leader explained, the team next door realized that this was their new equipment, which was more efficient.
The team next door was coordinating outside the building, waiting to see how efficient their new equipment was.
As a result, less than a minute after they entered, some white mist came out of the building, part of which floated up along the corridor, and part of which sank to the ground. In less than five minutes, the raging fire that had burned nine floors was extinguished in the blink of an eye.
Then they led the trapped people in the building downstairs.
Each trapped person was covered with a piece of cloth and had a special mask on their face.
Like the firefighters who entered the building, they all came out safe and sound, without any burns or smoke inhalation.
The two ambulances that arrived at the scene drove back empty.
This was the first time the neighboring team witnessed the so-called efficiency of the new equipment.
After the neighboring team went back to report the situation, the leader of that team immediately called the major in charge of the new equipment and asked him when it would be their team's turn.
News media reported on the fire that evening.
In the report video, firefighters wearing new fire-resistant suits put out the fire and rescued people at lightning speed, so fast that it seemed to have been edited.
Everyone on the Internet was stunned by the lightning-fast speed of extinguishing the fire, saying it was incredible.
A fire broke out in XX community. Firefighters put out the fire quickly. No one was injured or killed at the scene. The related entries instantly topped the hot search list.
The ambulance's empty return trip became a laughing stock that night.
