Yang Hao's decision caught everyone by surprise, as Zhang Fengshou was less senior and reputable than the other three deputy plant managers. Hence, in everyone's traditional thinking, even if Zheng Dongshan were to step down, his successors should have been Wei Mingjun and the other two.
However, it was Zhang Fengshou who now ascended to the position, but Yang Hao's staffing decision served as a wake-up call to everyone—things at Xiangyang Steel Plant had completely changed, and it wasn't about seniority or connections anymore!
This change gave those ambitious employees with some capabilities a glimmer of hope.
If Zhang Fengshou, who was less experienced and reputable than Wei Mingjun and others, could be appointed as the plant manager directly, could they also be considered for promotions?
