Chapter 1791: Chapter 1189: Unable to Help but Beco a Suffocating Fish (Part 2)
But who would have thought the next words from Boss Jiang would be so hilarious.
“Compared to the film she shot, it’s just child’s play. War films, cri films, where one death leads to a mass die-off.”
Xu Kuan was montarily distracted, then found it laughable.
He nodded shortly, “Hmm, Mr. Jiang makes a good point.”
Wasn’t he told not to flatter?
“Did you personally select them one by one?”
Jiang Chen, while stroking the teacup, suddenly asked.
“Mr. Jiang ans those soldiers outside?”
Xu Kuan replied seriously, “Yes, I personally selected each one of them.”
“Well done.”
Jiang Chen praised.
At any ti, one must have the awareness of potential danger, and make thorough preparations to prevent any crises.
“Mr. Jiang, these people are affiliated with the Allied Army, but they no longer have any ties to it. Their loyalty is solid and reliable.”
Jiang Chen, with a calm expression, said, “I trust you.”
Xu Kuan was slightly startled and then felt a surge of loyalty and commitnt.
To deal with the soldiers below, money is simple and efficient, but for Xu Kuan, relying solely on money wouldn’t be effective.
“Mr. Jiang, there’s really no need for you to be here in Myanmar personally.”
Xu Kuan restrained the urge to “flatter,” adding another word.
“With you around, what could I possibly worry about?”
Xu Kuan gave a bitter smile.
The son of a wealthy family doesn’t sit under a dangling eave.
No matter how you see it, a place as tumultuous as Myanmar always carries risk, which can never be completely eliminated. In most cases, big bosses wouldn’t run over here; remote command is sufficient.
“I’ve invested such high costs here; shouldn’t I co and take a look myself?”
Jiang Chen said with a slight smile.
Xu Kuan was instantly rendered speechless.
Indeed.
Seeing is believing.
Only by being here can one feel the most direct experience.
No one knows better than him how much the other party has spent in Myanmar; he’s constantly hearing the sound of money flowing.
In comparison, a piece of Dragon Stone Type is hardly worth ntioning.
“Deputy Officer Wei wants to host a feast for Mr. Jiang, and he entrusted to pass the ssage.”
Xu Kuan suddenly said.
“The very Deputy Officer Wei who took down the Wei family’s territories?”
Although he had never been to Myanmar, Jiang Chen was still more or less aware of the situation there.
“Yes, his na is Wei Yi, and he is the right-hand man of Jin Zhu, the fiercest and most battle-ready general in the Allied Army. His military exploits are outstanding, and most of the territory the Allied Army now holds was taken by him leading his troops.”
“Such a fierce general shouldn’t he be shining on the front lines? How does he have the leisure to invite to dinner?”
“Deputy Officer Wei has long admired Mr. Jiang. Upon hearing that Mr. Jiang was coming to Myanmar, he already asked to convey the ssage.”
“Where is he now?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“In Gugu, just north of Karuzi, an hour’s drive away. He’s waiting for Mr. Jiang’s response at any ti.”
“Then today it is.”
Xu Kuan was taken aback, caught off guard, “Today?”
“Is there a problem?”
“No problem.”
Xu Kuan snapped back quickly, imdiately saying, “I’ll notify him right away.”
Jiang Chen nodded.
Xu Kuan got up to make the call.
After finishing his tea, Jiang Chen also stood up, went upstairs, and ca to Pei Yunxi’s room, knocking on the door.
In the room.
Five high-value-for-money bags were placed on the bed, as if for better appreciation, while the priceless Dragon Stone Type was casually placed on the table.
The bloodstains had already been carefully washed off by the Filipino maid.
Pei Yunxi removed her mask and ca out of the bathroom, just as she heard the knock on the door.
Although everyone said she was cold and aloof, she had a quality that ordinary won lacked.
No matter what conflicts occurred, she would maintain basic courtesy.
“I have a social engagent tonight; are you going?”
Perhaps having suffered a blow in the car, after the door opened, Boss Jiang didn’t casually step into the room but stopped at the doorway.
Gentlemanly manners, no problem.
But as a man, one must have decisiveness!
For such things, do you really need to ask?
Anyone with a bit of emotional intelligence probably wouldn’t needlessly ask this question.
Did I risk coming to a place like Myanmar by myself just to guard the big house and be a lonely woman?
Don’t even ntion being in a relationship, anyone with female friends should know this.
Ask.
The woman will definitely say no.
For example, when shopping, if you want to buy diamonds or gold, just buy it—don’t ask if she wants it. That’s not asking, that’s forcing her to refuse.
Because any well-mannered person would feel embarrassed, except for those who only care about profit.
This simple technique of dealing with n and won, as you would expect, Boss Jiang must understand, so the answer is clear.
He did it on purpose.
It’s obvious he doesn’t want to take her.
So that’s the clever part—asking by oneself and being actively refused are two different things.
“Not going.”
Sure enough, that’s reality.
No matter how special Pei Yunxi is, she’s still a woman.
Jiang Chen showed no hints, “Then tell the Filipino maid what you want for dinner. I might co back late.”
See.
Not even bothering with any more entanglent.
The intention is even clearer now.
If he really wanted to invite her, he would have continued to persuade her and only give up after being repeatedly refused.
Pei Yunxi probably also thought it was this logic, so his decisiveness caught her sowhat off guard, then she subconsciously asked, “With whom?”
The environnt can always subtly influence people.
She really did feel like a “lady” a bit.
“A senior officer from the Allied Army—you’re probably not interested in such occasions, it’s fine if you don’t go.”
He started to block the road.
No intention of giving her a chance to change her mind.
“Don’t wait for tonight.”
After saying that, Boss Jiang was about to turn around.
Pretending to act cool and then wanting to run?
Pei Yunxi certainly wouldn’t allow it!
He’s such a grown-up and such a big shot, yet he acts like a petulant child, raising her voice, “Did I say I would wait for you to co back?”
Boss Jiang, ever so thick-skinned, pretended not to notice, as if he didn’t hear, and replied off-topic, “You can rest or take a walk in the yard, but don’t leave.”
You say city gate tower, I say hip bone knuckles.
Is it just an illusion, or does that once perfect face look a bit pale?
“You better not co back all night!”
After saying that, Pei Yunxi turned passive into active, slamming the door shut first.
“Bang!”
A gust of strong wind rushed in.
Is it the acclimatization causing this?
How does she beco more and more agitated?
Jiang Chen seed unaware of the ambiguities in her words and the misunderstandings they might cause. Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, the door opened from the inside again.
“You’d better not co back ever!”
He didn’t notice, but Pei Yunxi seed to have noticed it.
Those words, too close-knit; for a normal relationship, they shouldn’t be spoken.
However, the subsequent rescue line seed… unnecessary, only making it more confusing.
It must be a fluctuation in emotions, not well thought out.
Not giving Jiang Chen a chance to speak, “Bang,” the door was slamd shut again.
Looking at the door, unsure how many more tis it could be slamd shut, Jiang Chen stood in punishnt for a mont, then turned and left.
Inside the room.
Pei Yunxi, frustrated and annoyed, raised her hands, grabbing her hair for the first ti.
At this mont.
She might already regret why she ca to Myanmar.
She hadn’t foreseen so scenarios, but reality never follows one’s expectations, none of what she predicted happened; instead, she was almost driven mad.
She was clearly soone with quite a stable temperant, stable enough that even her parents had once said she was indifferent to kinship.
No matter how smooth the hair, it can’t withstand such mistreatnt; Pei Yunxi, with her hair disheveled, looked far from the beautiful national goddess, slowly shuffled to the bed, then like losing balance, straightened and fell onto it, lying on the bed, her face covered by the bedding, possibly struggling to breathe.
Luckily, Boss Jiang was not around.
Otherwise, he would have been badly frightened, would really have to feed her latonin, more than just one pill.
The five new bags initially placed tidily on the bed fell one by one.
Pei Yunxi, her face covered, could only see the undulating curve of her back, then slowly and gently pounded the bed surface, her foot at the bed’s edge following a slow rise and fall.
In this position.
Couldn’t help but feel like a suffocating fish…
