After Divorce, I Inherited the Game's Fortune

Chapter 635: 533, is this face really an external possession?

(Request for monthly votes) Chapter 635: 533, is this face really an external possession?

(Request for monthly votes) 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?

These employees harbored expectations, while the few who already had good relations with Zhang Fengshou were naturally thrilled, as being practical workers, they maintained a good rapport with him.

Now that Zhang Fengshou had become the head of the plant, they would naturally be favored.

However, upon hearing this appointment news, Kang Zhi Chao was simply stunned.

Because of the label holder event, he had anticipated Zhang Fengshou being reappointed, but never imagined that Yang Hao would appoint him as the new plant manager.

With this, no matter how much he was promoted, he couldn’t catch up to Zhang Fengshou, especially since he harbored expectations.

Kang Zhi Chao thought that once Yang Hao formally acquired the steel plant, he could at least mix himself into a deputy plant manager role.

Especially since Zheng Dongshan had clearly announced his departure, and Zhang Fengshou had been promoted to plant manager, the vacant deputy manager position couldn’t be anyone else’s but his.

This meant he would have to work with Zhang Fengshou and be under his leadership!

Thinking of this, Kang Zhi Chao was naturally very depressed and even considered confronting Yang Hao immediately.

In his eyes, he was Li Manni’s uncle, part of the inner circle, so how could he let an outsider take charge of such a big factory!

Sitting next to Kang Zhi Chao, Sun Hai was also feeling dejected.

He had just chosen to support Kang Zhi Chao, but from the current situation, it seemed he had picked the wrong side.@@novelbin@@

Just a moment ago, during the label holder incident, he was still contributing to the discussion, and now, in an instant, Zhang Fengshou had become the plant manager—this was too quick a slap in the face!

Then it was time for Zhang Fengshou, the new plant manager, to speak.

He continued his usual style, not saying much but expressly thanking Yang Hao for his trust and committed himself to leading Xiangyang Steel Plant from losses to profit, setting the flag!

As Zhang Fengshou finished speaking, overwhelming applause arose from the audience.

Clearly, the opportunistic majority of the employees didn’t care about who the manager was, as the plant manager was too far removed from them, but after the plant manager finished speaking, as ordinary employees, it was definitive to give support, regardless of who the manager was.

The staff meeting concluded.

The news that Zheng Dongshan had stepped down and Zhang Fengshou had become the new plant manager immediately spread throughout the entire Xiangyang Steel Plant.

After all, only about two to three thousand employees attended the staff meeting, but the total number of employees at Xiangyang Steel Plant was 15,000, so most of the employees only heard this news after the meeting.

However, not long after the meeting ended, both the official public account and the official website of Xiangyang Steel Plant updated the news of Zhang Fengshou taking over as plant manager.

Simultaneously, in the conference room, the first high-level meeting under Zhang Fengshou’s leadership was taking place.

Yang Hao, being the boss, naturally sat in the middle, with Zhang Fengshou to his left and Deputy Plant Manager Wei Mingjun to his right.

During such high-level meetings, seating arrangements are usually fixed, especially in a state-owned enterprise where hierarchical consciousness is clear, but there was an exception today, which was Kang Zhi Chao.

With his job level, he should have only been able to sit in the second row and wouldn’t have had the chance to “sit at the table.”
Yet, he found himself in the front row, and even quite a forward position, clearly, the higher-ups of the factory still feared his relationship with Yang Hao, thus giving him this face.

Zhang Fengshou had prepared for this meeting’s content for a week.

Once Yang Hao confirmed he would complete the acquisition, he had notified him to be ready, so the meeting’s pace was entirely controlled by Zhang Fengshou.

His first order after taking office was to shut down two loss-making subsidiaries that were unsalvageable.

The employees of these factories were given two options: either buy out their tenure or move to other subsidiaries or workshops.

Furthermore, during the meeting, Zhang Fengshou announced several staffing appointments, promoting a deputy manager of a subsidiary he approved of to take over his old position, transferred to the main plant to be in charge of production, and shifted Wei Mingjun to head the trade union, marginalizing this deputy manager.

After all, the trade union department still has some uses in state enterprises, but now that Xiangyang Steel Plant had become a private enterprise, the role and presence of the trade union would greatly diminish.

Zhang Fengshou’s several staffing appointments were bold, following the principle of capability over seniority.

If this were still a state enterprise, these appointments alone would have caused an uproar, but now no one dared to make a sound.

Zhang Fengshou was the new plant manager, appointed personally by the big boss.

Moreover, Yang Hao, the big boss, was sitting right there in the meeting room.

He had no objections about these staffing appointments, so who would dare comment.
