Someone beside Shanta spoke out. "Third-class merits... They won't be approved even if we recommend it to the top."
"If it was someone else, it would probably be approved and the audit would not be too stringent. In the past, as long as we decided and recommend it, it would be approved, but Fang Zhao has too many people watching him," another person in the conference room said. "If it was a soldier stationed at the base, there would definitely be no issue. Being stationed at the outpost falls a little short. Of course, the most important thing is Fang Zhao's military service duration. He only just started, so it may be an obstacle."
"Third-class merits would probably be approved, but promotion? The possibility of this being approved is not high."
"Didn't he discover Baiji ore as well? That's a really huge service."
"That cannot be considered a meritorious deed."
