Hanhai City, the Quan family villa.

Inside the study, Quan Yue was receiving his first guest since arriving in Hanhai City.

"It's been a week since we last parted. How has Vice Director Jiang been?"

Quan Yue asked with a friendly smile.

"Thanks to your good fortune, I've been eating and drinking well these past few 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's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Since Su Li snatched away his client last time, Su Li's surveillance over him had become even stricter.

These days, even if he stubbornly waited at the entrance for 'fish that slipped through the net,' he would be robbed by Su Li's faction.

Su Li and he were both vice directors, and Su Li was also a Soul King-level Spirit Tool Master. His influence within the shipyard was not something that a young man like him, who only had the title of vice director, could compare to.

Therefore, Jiang Jun's words still carried a hint of resentment.

"Haha, that's good, that's good. Being able to eat means your body is still healthy. Good thing, it's a good thing."

Quan Yue seemed not to understand and laughed loudly.

Seeing Quan Yue's carefree appearance, Jiang Jun sighed softly in his heart, and then helplessly asked, "May I ask, what did you invite me here for, sir? Wasn't the shipbuilding matter already contracted 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 silent heart began to beat again.

However, long-term suppression had made him timid and cautious.

Quan Yue smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Vice Director Jiang is the current director's closed-door disciple, and has been learning shipbuilding techniques by the director's side since childhood. Now that more than ten years have passed, Vice Director Jiang's skills must be very profound."

Hearing Quan Yue's praise, Jiang Jun's face darkened, and he said with a slightly ashamed expression, "You flatter me. Although I am a disciple of the director, I have never received personal guidance or participated in shipbuilding. I can only be said to be talking about it on paper, and I can't be considered highly skilled."

Upon hearing this, Quan Yue asked in great shock, "What! Even the director's top disciple is not allowed to participate in shipbuilding? It is truly worthy of the reputation of the number one shipyard in the Heaven Dou Empire. The requirements for shipbuilders are actually 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 Director Jiang so angry?"

Jiang Jun complained angrily, "I just turned twenty-four this year. Ordinary apprentices can participate in practice at the age of twenty, and many people of my age have already started their own businesses.

However, due to some unsavory reasons, I can only spend my days in the shipyard in a daze."

As he spoke, Jiang Jun sighed heavily.

Listening to the complaint, Quan Yue's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said, "In that case, if someone were to fund Vice Director Jiang, I wonder if you would be willing to start your own business."

Jiang Jun was immediately stunned, and his calm heart lake also experienced a violent tremor.

"This!"

Seeing Jiang Jun fall into confusion, Quan Yue began to strike while the iron was hot and said, "I heard that the current director's health is deteriorating, and it won't be long before he steps down from his position as director.

The many powerful vice directors in the shipyard will definitely rush to compete for the position of director.

At that time, Vice Director Jiang's situation will definitely be more difficult than it is now.

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 that your skills are no less than anyone else's. Staying where you are now will only cause Mr. Jiang to be covered in dust.

Coincidentally, our Quan family also wants to build its own shipyard outside the city, and we happen to lack talented people like Mr. Jiang.

I wonder what Mr. Jiang thinks?"

In a week, Quan Yue had collected almost all the internal information of the shipyard.

Among them, the information about Jiang Jun that he focused on collecting made him know Jiang Jun like the back of his hand.

The current director of the Hanhai Shipyard had successively cultivated several disciples in his early years.

The oldest was over fifty years old, and the youngest, Jiang Jun, was now over thirty years old.

After several disciples had achieved success in their studies, they would be given the position of vice director by the director and participate in specific affairs.

With the help of the disciples, the director led the shipyard to even greater heights.

But as time passed, the director's decision to decentralize power back then made the situation within the shipyard become more and more complicated and chaotic.

The disciples who had been in power for many years became more and more greedy, and everyone desired the position of director. Therefore, various open and secret struggles emerged one after another.

Among them, Su Li, relying on his talent as a Soul Master, gathered many forces within the shipyard and became the most powerful person.

Having power was not enough. Su Li also began to suppress other competitors. Among them, Jiang Jun, who was 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 threatening person.

However, Jiang Jun had the most dazzling talent among the disciples, and he was also kind and amiable, and was greatly loved by the workers in the shipyard.

These things made Su Li feel a sense of inexplicable fear.

Therefore, he would 'leave no way out' for Jiang Jun.

However, this was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Quan Yue.

Without delay, Quan Yue immediately invited Jiang Jun over.

Quan Yue looked at Jiang Jun, whose heart was in great turmoil, and waited for his reply.

Jiang Jun's heart changed from initial shock to great joy.

For a person who had not seen the light of day for many years, even a ray of light could make him go crazy.

Moreover, this invitation from the Quan family was not just a mere ray of light, it was an opportunity that could allow him to see the light of day again.

However, after great joy, Jiang Jun fell into silence.

Seeing him fall into silence again, Quan Yue nodded secretly in his heart and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang worried about the old director's matter?"

Jiang Jun nodded.

"Yes, the old director's health is getting worse and worse now. If I suddenly leave, there will be no one to take care of him.

Therefore, I would like 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 shipyard, as long as he left there, he would be able to make great achievements in the outside world.

But even enduring suppression, he had stayed in the shipyard all these years to take care of the elderly director.

The director's health had suddenly deteriorated in recent years. Although he did not have any serious illnesses, he was constantly suffering from minor ailments.

This was also an important reason why Jiang Jun did not dare to leave. The other fellow brothers were busy fighting for power.

Only he, this powerless guy, had been serving his master all along.
