Hanhai City, Quan Family Villa.
Inside the Study, Quan Yue was hosting his first guest since arriving in Hanhai City.
"It's been a week since we last met. I wonder how Vice Factory Director Jiang has been?"
Quan Yue asked amiably.
"Thanks to your good fortune, I've been eating well these days, and my body has become a bit stronger."
Quan Yue's guest was none other than Jiang Jun, whom he had met by chance at the Shipyard a week ago.
Seeing Quan Yue again, Jiang Jun felt a mix of emotions.
Since Su Li had snatched away his guest last time, Su Li's surveillance over him had become even stricter.
These days, even if he stood guard at the entrance waiting for 'fish to slip through the net,' he would be robbed by Su Li's faction.
Su Li was also a Vice Factory Director, and a Tool Soul Master at the Soul King level. His influence within the Shipyard was unmatched by a young man like him, who only held the title of Vice Factory Director.
Therefore, Jiang Jun's words were tinged with resentment.
"Haha, that's good, that's good. Being able to eat means your body is still healthy. That's a good thing, a good thing."
Quan Yue seemed not to understand, and instead laughed loudly.
Seeing Quan Yue's carefree attitude, Jiang Jun sighed softly in his heart, and then asked helplessly, "May I ask, what is the reason for your invitation, sir? Hasn't the shipbuilding contract already been signed with Senior Brother Su?"
The area he was in now was the most expensive in Hanhai City.
This showed how great Quan Yue's wealth and power were.
Seeing this, Jiang Jun's dormant heart began to beat once again.
However, long-term suppression had made him timid and cautious.
Quan Yue smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Vice Factory Director Jiang is the current Factory Director's closed-door disciple, and has been learning shipbuilding techniques by the Factory Director's side since childhood. Now that more than ten years have passed, Vice Factory Director Jiang's skills must be very profound."
Hearing Quan Yue's praise, Jiang Jun's face dimmed, and he said with a hint of shame, "You flatter me. Although I am a disciple of the Factory Director, I have never received personal guidance or participated in shipbuilding. I can only be said to be talking on paper, and I can't be considered highly skilled."
Quan Yue was shocked to hear this and asked, "What! Even the Factory Director's top disciple can't participate in shipbuilding? Truly worthy of the reputation of Heaven Dou's number one Shipyard. The requirements for shipbuilders are so high."
Hearing this, the feeling of frustration in Jiang Jun's heart rushed into his mind, and he couldn't help but snort coldly.
"Hmph!"
Quan Yue paused and asked in confusion, "Why is Vice Factory Director so angry?"
Jiang Jun complained angrily, "I just turned twenty-four this year. Ordinary apprentices can participate in practice in their early twenties, and many people of my age have already started their own businesses.
But, due to some reasons that can't be brought to the table, I can only spend my days in a daze."
As he spoke, Jiang Jun sighed heavily.
Listening to the complaint, a gleam flashed in Quan Yue's eyes, and he said, "In that case, if someone were to fund Vice Factory Director Jiang, I wonder if you would be willing to start your own business."
Jiang Jun was immediately speechless, and his calm heart was violently shaken.
"This!"
Seeing Jiang Jun fall into confusion, Quan Yue began to strike while the iron was hot, saying, "I heard that the current Factory Director's health is deteriorating, and he will soon step down from his position as Factory Director.
The many powerful Vice Factory Directors will surely rush to seize the position of Factory Director.
At that time, Vice Factory Director Jiang's situation will definitely be more difficult than it is now.
Therefore, I would like to invite Mr. Jiang to guide our Quan Family Shipyard."
Jiang Jun finally understood Quan Yue's purpose.
"Is Master Quan inviting me?"
Jiang Jun was a little incredulous. He had never encountered a big shot who would value him so much.
Quan Yue nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course."
"I know your abilities are no less than anyone else's, Mr. Jiang, and staying where you are now will only keep your talents hidden."
"As it happens, our Quan Family is also planning to build its own shipyard outside Hanhai City, and we are in need of talented individuals like you, Mr. Jiang."
"I wonder, what do you think, Mr. Jiang?"
In a week's time, Quan Yue had gathered almost all the internal information about the shipyard.
Among them, he focused on gathering information about Jiang Jun, making him very familiar with him.
In the Hanhai Shipyard, the current Old Factory Director had gradually cultivated several disciples in his early years.
The oldest was over fifty years old, and the youngest, Jiang Jun, was now in his thirties.
After achieving some success in their studies, several disciples would be given the position of Vice Factory Director by the Old Factory Director to participate in specific affairs.
With the help of his disciples, the Old Factory Director led the shipyard to even greater heights.
But as time passed, the Old Factory Director's decision to decentralize power back then had instead made the situation within the factory increasingly complex and chaotic.
The disciples who had been in power for many years became increasingly greedy, and each of them developed a desire for the Old Factory Director's position, resulting in various overt and covert struggles.
Among them, Su Li, relying on his Soul Master talent, gathered many forces within the factory and became the most powerful person.
Having power was not enough, Su Li also began to suppress other competitors, and Jiang Jun, the youngest in age and seniority, became the biggest victim.
However, in theory, even if he was suppressed, Jiang Jun, who had no power, should have been the least important person.
However, Jiang Jun had the most dazzling talent among all the disciples, and he was also kind and amiable, making him very popular among the workers in the factory.
These things made Su Li feel a sense of inexplicable fear.
Therefore, he would be so 'merciless' towards Jiang Jun.
However, this was indeed a golden opportunity for Quan Yue.
Without delay, Quan Yue immediately invited Jiang Jun over.
Quan Yue looked at Jiang Jun, who was in great turmoil, and waited for his reply.
In Jiang Jun's heart, the initial shock turned into great joy.
For someone who has been living in darkness for many years, even a ray of light can drive him crazy.
Moreover, this invitation from the Quan Family was not just a mere ray of light, it was an opportunity for him to see the light of day again.
However, after the great joy, Jiang Jun fell into silence.
Seeing him fall silent again, Quan Yue nodded secretly in his heart and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang worried about the Old Factory Director?"
Jiang Jun nodded.
"Yes, the Old Factory Director's health is deteriorating, and if I leave suddenly, there will be no one to take care of him.
Therefore, I want to decline your invitation, sir."
Quan Yue was not surprised at all by Jiang Jun's refusal.
Because, with Jiang Jun's talent, even if he was squeezed out in the factory, he would be able to make a great show of his skills outside as long as he left there.
But even though he endured the suppression, he had stayed in the factory for so many years to take care of the elderly Old Factory Director.
The Old Factory Director's health had suddenly deteriorated in recent years. Although he did not have any serious illnesses, he had been constantly plagued by minor ailments.
This was also an important reason why Jiang Jun did not dare to leave. The other Senior Brothers were busy fighting for power.
Only he, the guy with no power or influence, had been by his master's side, serving him.
