Chapter 927: Strange-Tempered Man

The mayor told Shangguan Wan that some investors were going to invest a huge amount of money to Yukou Border for a resort that integrated tourism and leisure, and the hotel would be of a five-star standard.

Although the government had invited investment in this area before, many investors were reluctant to spend a lot of money to build a resort here.

Shangguan Wan was surprised when she heard the news.

After all, Yukou Border was still recovering and developing. Many investors were still sitting on the fence.

“Mayor, is this true?”

“Yes. We’ll be signing the contract in a few days.”“If it’s true, then we have to thank the investor very much.” Shangguan Wan stood up from the swing and walked to the gate of the courtyard, looking at the glorious sunset and said with a smile, “Where’s the investor staying now?”

“He’s staying in Zuofeng Mountain, but this investor has a strange temper. I asked him out for dinner several times but he refused everytime.”

This was the second time Shangguan Wan had heard the words ‘strange temper’ today.

After dinner, Shangguan Wan handled some work matters in the study before she returned to her room to take a bath.

Little Xingxing was lying on her bed, assembling and disassembling a gun with surprisingly fast movements.

Seeing Shangguan Wan coming in, the little fellow looked at her with a winning smile. “Wanwan, I’m warming up your bed.”

Shangguan Wan’s lips twitched. “You’re using my gun as an experiment, aren’t you? I’ve told you many times that it’s dangerous to play with real guns!”

“I took the bullets out.”

Shangguan Wan sighed. “Can’t you watch some cartoons?”The little fellow looked at Shangguan Wan in surprise. “Don’t you find that it’s boring to watch those kinds of things?”

Shangguan Wan was speechless. Sometimes when she forced him to watch cartoons and watched it with him, she found it to be quite interesting!

Seeing that Shangguan Wan was silent, Little Xingxing said, “Oh, I’ve already filled the tub. Go and take a bath!”

Shangguan Wan was speechless again.

“Don’t stare at me all the time. I know I’m handsome!”

Shangguan Wan did not know what to say. Why was he so narcissistic?

“Do you want to ask why I know you’re going to take a bath? Silly Wanwan, you come out of your study at this time every day. Of course I know it by deducing the pattern. Go!”

Shangguan Wan was speechless. Was she the parent or him?

…After Shangguan Wan took a bath, the little fellow had reassembled her gun and put it back in a safe position.

Shangguan Wan kissed his forehead after getting into bed and said softly, “Good night.” Then she lifted the blankets off and went back to her room.

Shangguan Wan sighed silently.

This little fellow made her angry when he was being playful, but when he was being warm, it would almost always make her heart melt.

…

The next day.

Shangguan Wan was free in the afternoon, so when she received a call from the mayor saying that he had failed to invite the investor to dinner again, Shangguan Wan decided to drive to Zuofeng Mountain to have a look.

She had come to Yukou Border for several years now, and the mayor was promoted by her.

Yukou Border was like her second home. Her feelings for this place were no less than that of the Capital where she had grown up.Even now, for her, Yukou Border made her feel more friendly and warm than the Capital.

If a big investor wanted to invest here, she naturally needed to pay attention to it.

Zuofeng Mountain was about half an hour away from the city. A rich man had lived there before, but later, he had gone abroad and never returned.

Not long ago, Shangguan Wan seemed to have heard that Zuofeng Mountain had been sold, but she had not paid much attention to it.

The villa was located in the most advantageous position on the middle of the mountain. It was built on the mountain and surrounded by water. The maple leaves were in full swing and incredibly beautiful.

Far away, Shangguan Wan saw a villa hidden in the mountain and surrounded by trees, lined with maple leaves all over, looking magnificent and serene.

Shangguan Wan stopped the car in front of the villa. There were two black carved iron doors and Shangguan Wan got off the car to press the bell.

After pressing the doorbell for a while, no one answered.

Shangguan Wan furrowed her eyebrows and glanced into the villa.

Perhaps the owner was out?Shangguan Wan turned, planning to leave when suddenly a woman’s voice sounded, “Coming, coming!”

Shangguan Wan turned back and saw a woman in an apron running out.

Shangguan Wan felt that the woman looked a little familiar and searched through her mind and remembered that she was the woman who had rushed across the street in a hurry last night.

The woman had recognized Shangguan Wan too and she said slightly excited, “It’s you, young lady. What a coincidence to meet again today.”

Shangguan Wan smiled and nodded. “Yes.”

The woman saw that Shangguan Wan was wearing a military uniform and could not help bowing slightly in respect. “By the way, you’re here for…”

Shangguan Wan did not expect such a coincidence. The big investor was the strange-tempered person the woman was talking about.

“I came to see your employer.”

The woman quickly opened the door. “Sir is in the study. I’ll take you there.”

Shangguan Wan nodded. “Okay.”

On the way to the villa, the woman asked cautiously, “Officer, can you not tell Sir I said that he has a strange temper?”

Shangguan Wan shook her head with a smile. “I’m not the kind of person who tattles.”

The woman said, slightly embarrassed, “You look like a very honest person at first sight.”

The woman took Shangguan Wan into the villa and she was about to take off her shoes when a man’s voice sounded through the intercom, “Auntie Zhu, who let you bring a stranger in?”

The man’s voice was hoarse and deep like his vocal cord was injured, making one feel pained when hearing it.

Shangguan Wan frowned.

No wonder both the woman and the mayor felt that this person had a strange temper, it seemed like they were right!

Who could stand this kind of attitude?

Shangguan Wan took a deep breath and said politely, “Hello, sir. I’m Lieutenant Shangguan from the Tenth Group. I heard from Mayor Wen that you want to invest in a holiday resort here, so I came to visit you. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to meet?”

“Not convenient.”

It was a blunt and impolite response.

Stunned, Shangguan Wan found herself unable to say anything. The woman looked at Shangguan Wan in embarrassment and said, “I’m sorry, I’ll show you out!”

Shangguan Wan pursed her lips and nodded.

“Okay.”

Before going out, because of her good upbringing, she still said, “I’m sorry, sir, to have bothered you!”

…

At night.

Shangguan Wan called Captain Jiang, who was stationed at the border. The past few years, Captain Jiang took good care of her and Little Xingxing, and she gradually regarded him as an elder brother.

Shangguan Wan told Captain Jiang about what had happened in the afternoon, “Don’t you think that person is very strange? If he doesn’t want to see me, couldn’t he have said it nicely? Must he use that kind of tone as if I owed him hundreds of millions of dollars?”

“You don’t owe him hundreds of millions, but he has invested more than hundreds of millions here after all. Maybe rich people have a bit of a character. Don’t take it to heart!”
