In December, Nie Zhenbang and his team completed their inspection work in Heishui Province. Concurrently, good news arrived from Cao Dingkun in Liaodong Province.
In the standing committee meeting of Liaodong Province, Lin Mohan, surprisingly, became the recommended candidate for Liaodong province with a result of 8 votes in favor, 4 against, and 1 abstention.
Shockingly, the extra vote came from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. This fortuitous event led Cao Dingkun to feel very lucky. Upon hearing the news from Cao Dingkun, Nie Zhenbang was not too surprised, and after a bit of consideration, he understood the reasoning. The secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, Liu Sanhai, was clearly impartial, taking matters seriously irrespective of the persons involved. Honestly, whether in terms of seniority or ability, Lin Mohan was top tier. So, it wasn't a stretch that Liu Sanhai would support Lin Mohan.
