Early the next morning, Cao Sanjin had no appetite for breakfast.
After washing up, he changed clothes and went to work at the City Committee.
As soon as he entered his office, he took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Old Kang, we haven't seen each other in ages. How about meeting up for lunch? Alright, same place as usual!"
At noon, Cao Sanjin arrived at the restaurant first.
Just after ordering, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside by a middle-aged man.
This man's name was Kang Kecheng, the executive deputy secretary of Yanxi Province's Disciplinary Inspection Commission.
He had previously studied with Cao Sanjin in the Imperial Capital, and now both served in Yanxi's political circle.
With their naturally compatible temperaments, they were exceptionally close friends.
As the dishes were served, Kang Kecheng smiled and asked.
"Old Cao, you're not one to come to the temple for no reason. You must have something in mind today."
