So after he walked out the gate, he entered a snack shop located opposite the Municipal Committee Compound.
This shop being located opposite the Municipal Committee Compound indicated that its main clientele were the staff from the Committee Compound. Here, Dirk Carter was sure to obtain the news he wanted.
It wasn't mealtime yet.
There wasn't a single customer inside the shop.
The shop owner was a woman in her thirties, quite attractive.
Upon seeing Dirk Carter enter with a bag on his back, she immediately greeted him with a smile.
Dirk Carter ordered a bowl of noodles.
In about five minutes or so, steaming hot marinated noodles were served.
He lifted a chopstick full and stuffed it into his mouth.
He couldn't help but exclaim aloud, "Hmm? Delicious, surprisingly delicious indeed."
Upon hearing Dirk Carter's praise, the shop owner also became interested and laughed, "Is it that exaggerated, sir?"
