The safety lecture was set up at the side of the playground.
Because it was Friday, many students had no classes in the afternoon, so they were pulled in to listen to the firefighting lecture.
Initially, Xu Lan was a bit worried about not attracting enough people, and the event’s impact wouldn’t be good.
But upon arrival, she found the entire playground filled with people.
The feeling was similar to the principal holding a general assembly.
"Why are there so many people?" Zhou Ying said in surprise.
"I’m puzzled too," Xu Lan replied:
"I informed three to five students from each class, but looking at it now, it’s far more than that."
"I got it," Zhang Wen said:
"Look at the people in attendance; over seventy percent are girls. It’s likely related to Teacher Lin’s presence, and they all came."
Zhou Ying chuckled, "There’s really nothing you can do with these folks."
"It’s understandable. Nowadays, who doesn’t focus on looks," Zhang Wen joked.
"There are a lot of people today. Make sure to maintain discipline; let’s avoid any incidents. I have to go."
"Alright."
After giving some instructions, Zhou Ying left.
With her status, she’s certainly required to accompany the relevant leaders when they arrive.
Wang Pengcheng, being quite the sycophant, followed her.
But Zhou Ying still glanced back at Lin Yi several times.
"Director Zhou, are you still thinking about the paper?" Wang Pengcheng asked.
Zhou Ying didn’t hide it, nodding.
"A firefighter who understands such things is truly peculiar."
"There’s nothing weird about it," Wang Pengcheng said:
"With how developed the internet is, there are many amateur scientists boasting online. Previously, someone claimed to have invented a perpetual motion machine—it’s laughable."
"What are amateur scientists?"
Due to work and personal habits, Zhou Ying doesn’t spend much time online.
She was unaware of many internet memes and specialized terms.
"They’re basically self-proclaimed scientists who, after grasping some technical jargon, start boasting without a filter. I guess he’s one of them, not worth paying attention to."
Wang Pengcheng said:
"The simplest reasoning is, if he truly had some skill, he wouldn’t be a firefighter."
Thinking over Wang Pengcheng’s words, Zhou Ying found some truth to them.
She decided not to dwell on it further, adjusted her clothes, and got ready for her tasks.
Meanwhile, when Lin Yi appeared in front of the crowd, screams erupted from the female students.
"It’s really him; I see him a lot online."
"He looks even more handsome out of the firefighting suit, can’t handle it."
"If I had such a good-looking boyfriend, I’d welcome him with open arms every day."
"Hey, hey, your boyfriend’s still beside you."
Amidst the chatter, Xu Lan took the microphone and approached the stage.
"Everyone, please quiet down."
Under Xu Lan’s control and adjustments, the crowd gradually quieted.
"Today, we’ve invited two firefighters from the Ning’an Road Brigade to give a lecture on firefighting knowledge. Please give them a warm welcome."
The applause was as enthusiastic as imagined, with Lin Yi and Xu Chunyu stepping forward for introductions.
The first part covered non-compliant electrical appliances.
Xu Chunyu first demonstrated the incorrect operations, then explained the solutions.
Next, Lin Yi took out various types of extinguishers and explained how to use them.
"Anyone want to come up and try?" Xu Lan asked.
"Teacher, can we simulate a fire rescue scene?"
"A fire rescue simulation?"
"Yes, like I lose consciousness, then he does a princess carry to bring me out."
Xu Chunyu glanced at the female student speaking, then at Lin Yi.
"Lin Bro, she’s over 200 pounds, can you manage it?"
