Nie Zhenbang's actions were beneficial in some aspects. At the very least, it did preserve some face for the Ministry of Civil Affairs, preventing them from losing credibility in front of the public. For the leaders of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this was the best reward they could receive.
Mu Dingjian acted swiftly. After hanging up, he immediately called Shen Xiuchao, the secretary of the group. As a core member under the group, Mu Dingjian, currently serving as the governor of the Central Province, was qualified to speak directly with Shen, the party chair.
After hearing Mu Dingjian's report, Shen Xiuchao also laughed heartily. His demeanor conveyed satisfaction. Nie Zhenbang's attitude pleased Shen. He, as well as Nie's father-in-law Yang Shengli, chairman of the political consultative meeting, could handle this matter. Despite Yang being the fourth in command within the core of the Jiuding, there was no problem with this.
