It shouldn't feel like being neglected.

At least Jiang Chen didn't think so. With no one disturbing him, he was happy to have some peace. Besides inspecting the construction site and strolling the streets, he had the soldiers set up a shooting range in the yard and began practicing shooting with Pei Yunxi.

Pei Yunxi found this sport quite interesting, and she had a knack for it. Her progress was remarkable, and in just a few days, she could occasionally score a nine-ring, almost on par with Boss Jiang.

Of course, the reason she picked it up so quickly was that Pei Yunxi was not starting from scratch. It's said that she trained at a shooting range for a bit because of a movie role. Actors and mere celebrities cannot be compared. True actors need to master various skills and put in hard work.

Compared to domestic shooting ranges, the selection of firearms here was undoubtedly more abundant and advanced. However, Pei Yunxi wasn't interested in the powerful weapons that represented ultimate violent aesthetics; she was only fond of handguns and surprisingly made a request to Boss Jiang.

"Could you give me one?"

Heh heh.

A bit humorous.

It's usual to ask for gifts, but asking for a gun?

Of course, Boss Jiang has done similar things before; how impressive was the gun he gave to Youmao in Japan?

But you need to consider the recipient when giving gifts.

Youmao is an expert in playing with guns and knows his limits, but Pei Yunxi is just a newcomer to this. What if she accidentally discharges it by her bedside?

"You can't take it back anyway. If you like it, there's a one-to-one replica model."

Pei Yunxi wouldn't insist,

since he didn't agree, there was no need to mention it further.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."

She turned, arms extended, steady as a rock, and emptied the magazine in one breath.

The bullets pierced the target surface, all clustering between the seven and nine rings.

"Miss Pei, what great marksmanship."

A voice praised.

Xu Kuan came over, stopped beside Jiang Chen and reported in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang, the commander has entered the city."

Jiang Chen casually responded with a "hmm."

Just in time for the New Year, the supreme commander of the Allied Army finally decided to visit the biggest benefactor behind the scenes.

Although a bit late, it wasn't too late.

"Let's call it a day for now. We have guests coming soon."

He put down his gun without finishing the bullets, not continuing the competition.

"Do I need to avoid them?"

Pei Yunxi asked calmly.

Jiang Chen grinned, then shook his head, "No need."

More than half an hour later, lively engine noises came from outside the courtyard wall, as a convoy of more than a dozen armored vehicles aggressively parked at the entrance of the private villa.

Although he was an investor, the big benefactor, Jiang Chen didn't put on airs and showed the necessary respect to the highest leader of the Allied Army and the entire Allied Army, welcoming them at the door together with Xu Kuan and Pei Yunxi.

Fully armed soldiers got off one after another, nearly a hundred of them, orderly lined up by the roadside, vaguely forming a confrontational presence with the villa's guards for a moment.

Xu Kuan, standing to the left of Mr. Jiang, squinted his eyes slightly imperceptibly.

The highest leader of the troops, it makes sense to pay attention to personal safety, but was it necessary to bring so many people for a meeting?

To this, Jiang Chen remained calm, seemingly unseeing, without any reaction.

Amidst this somber atmosphere, the commander got out of the car, his short stature now wholly ignorable.

"Bring down the items."

At his command, the lined-up soldiers immediately moved, bringing down large packages from the vehicles.

The festive packaging and astonishing number of gifts undoubtedly dispelled the oppressive atmosphere.

"Mr. Jiang, Happy New Year."

The commander approached, his fierce face decorated with a hearty smile.

Jiang Chen shook hands with him, seemingly not the least awkward as if it wasn't their first meeting, smiling, "With so many gifts, anyone else would think it's a dowry from a wealthy family."

"Hahaha..."

The commander burst into a more relaxed laugh, glancing at Pei Yunxi beside him. Despite not having met in person, he seemed well-acquainted with the big benefactor's situation, "Mr. Jiang, with such a beauty, we in Myanmar really can't present any attractive ladies."

If it were an ordinary canary, she might at least put on a sour face, if not get angry, as some women are most adept at flaunting power and oblivious to human affairs, let alone the big picture.

But Pei Yunxi naturally wasn't a canary, so she sat quietly, expressionless.

"Mr. Xu,"

The commander then also greeted Xu Kuan.

This is the expected meeting atmosphere.

The large entourage might be due to the warlord's pomp, or perhaps the substantial number of gifts required sufficient manpower. After all, the soldiers carried all the gifts into the villa, the commander's soldiers all retreated, even stepping outside the yard gate, beginning to stand guard alongside Xu Kuan, watching over the villa.

Though a bit late, it's evident that the leader of the Allied Army harbors a grateful heart toward the big benefactor investing in him.

Hosts and guests took their seats.

"With the year-end approaching, affairs are busy; it's only today that I could come to visit Mr. Jiang, and I ask for Mr. Jiang's understanding."

The commander apologized.

"Military duties are crucial."

Jiang Chen didn't mind and then looked at the pile of gifts in the hall, "The General went to great lengths."

"Just some local specialties, not worth mentioning, I hope Mr. Jiang won't mind."

Typical polite words.

As the warlord most esteemed currently in Myanmar, how could he possibly be stingy? Nevertheless, after all, it's Boss Jiang's own money.

Of course.

No need to be so particular.

Just like a father raising a son, the son buying gifts for the father with the father's allowance, what's important is the thought.
