Chapter 927 - Strange-Tempered Man (2/2)
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 ap.r.o.n 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 embarra.s.sed, “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 hoa.r.s.e 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 att.i.tude?
Shangguan Wan took a deep breath and said politely, “h.e.l.lo, 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 embarra.s.sment 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!”
