C27 – Investigation

Quickly, Solar’s father grasped the scenario.

The county leaders had been grappling with the problem of exorbitantly priced watermelons.

Watermelons had been a standard fruit; farmers would promote them for simply three to 5 cents per kilogram.

Within the metropolis, costs had been greater—a few greenback per kilogram in summer season, with a slight improve in winter.

However by no means had they reached the astronomical value of 5 thousand {dollars} per melon.

The pricing itself was problematic—not by weight, however per melon, no matter dimension, every for 5 thousand.

The net buzz had inevitably caught the eye of upper authorities, prompting them to ship an investigator to Zeffari County.

This had the county officers in a state of misery.

Regardless of their efforts, the situation of Walden remained a thriller.

Solar’s father, a seasoned native, had by no means even heard of the village.

After they sought out the poverty alleviation crew for solutions, they discovered the crew was nowhere to be discovered.

This wasn’t attributable to negligence; the crew was merely overwhelmed with the inflow of companies in search of investments, leaving them no time for different issues and resulting in employees being reassigned from different departments.

Ultimately, it fell to Solar’s father, straddling the road between authorities official and businessman, to deal with the scenario, given his familiarity with pricing points.

He shortly pieced every part collectively.

“Are you speaking about heading into the mountains, to that secluded Walden village?”

“Sure! There’s no clear path; even the locals battle to search out it.”

“The identical younger man who’s been promoting these outrageously priced watermelons?”

“Precisely. He’s the grower. I feel a melon from a billionaire farmer is definitely worth the 5 thousand.”

“How are you aware he’s a billionaire?”

“He was shopping for a automobile at my brother’s dealership. I noticed his account stability exceed 100 million. Odd man, although—he at all times insists he’s only a farmer.”

Solar’s father’s demeanor turned grave. He sat in contemplation for some time earlier than lastly talking up.

“Tomorrow, you’ll accompany me and the investigation crew to test it out.”

“Ah? Dad, aren’t you swamped with work every single day? I believed you wished my brother to go together with you?”

“You don’t grasp the importance of possessing a fortune within the lots of of hundreds of thousands for somebody in Zeffari County.”

“By way of wealth, he’s among the many prime 5 in Zeffari, and he’s nonetheless so younger.”

“Even I, your father, need to get to know him.”

“Should you really handle to marry him, I’ll offer you a dowry of twenty million yuan.”

Solar Ying’s eyes widened, her cheeks flushing.

“Dad, what are you saying?”

“There’s actually nothing between us.”

Regardless of her distaste for her father treating marriage like a transaction, she had grow to be accustomed to it.

In any case, she had been conscious of this inevitable path from a really younger age.

But…

If she may really marry Zhao Yuegu, she could be keen.

Sadly, their present relationship was nothing greater than employer and worker.

She was merely a driver!

“Alright then…”

They reluctantly accepted the scenario.

However after a protracted wait, not solely did Zhao Yuegu not seem, a fleet of building autos did.

“Why would the Second Development Firm come right here to construct a street?” Solar’s father puzzled aloud.

Solar Ying hadn’t anticipated the builders to reach so swiftly and defined to her father.

“Oh, it’s Zhao Yuegu who paid them to pave the street.”

Xia Guo turned to Solar Ying.

“If this street has no industrial worth as soon as it’s constructed, why hassle repairing it?”

“How am I presupposed to know?”

Solar Ying actually wished to say, “I’m only a common woman!”

How may she presumably perceive the mindset of somebody like that?

However Xia Guo pulled out her telephone and dialed an unfamiliar quantity.

“Test Zhao Yuegu’s id and financial institution accounts, discover out the place his funding is coming from.”

Quickly sufficient, Xia Guo’s telephone buzzed with an replace.

“All of the financial institution funds got here from an inheritance of a international farm proprietor?”

“The farm proprietor was his great-uncle, who lived overseas from a younger age and established an unlimited farm. With no youngsters or heirs, he transferred all his wealth to Zhao Yuegu’s account by way of a belief.”

“The asset’s origin checks out.”

Xia Guo nodded in settlement.

In fact, with the cash supplied by the system, not even essentially the most expert professionals may detect any points.

So there was nothing to worry from an investigation.

With the cash being clear, Zhao Yuegu was free to spend it as he wished!

Economically talking, Zhao Yuegu’s street building challenge may even help within the restoration from the epidemic.

Xia Guo had no objections.

However nonetheless…

They wanted to have a phrase with Zhao Yuegu concerning the exorbitantly priced watermelons.

This wasn’t Zugrary! Common fruits and veggies shouldn’t be offered for such steep costs.

However…

That they had waited from daybreak till midday earlier than they lastly noticed the mud-splattered off-road automobile approaching.

“Right here it comes! Right here it comes!”

Solar Ying was visibly excited.

Regardless of her annoyance at Solar’s father for waking her up so early, the thought that their lengthy wait was really due to her introduced a secret thrill.

It was as a result of she at all times slept in late that Zhao Yuegu had postponed his departure.

Such a thoughtful man!

He even let her sleep in.

However this was one thing she wouldn’t share with Solar’s father, nor did she dare to.

After one other ten minutes, the SUV emerged from the mud, and Zhao Yuegu stepped out, noticing the 2 people standing with Solar Ying.

“These two have fairly a presence.”

In only a look, he discerned that the aged man with graying hair and the bespectacled girl had been removed from bizarre.
