Invitation

One month later.

Vast Sea City, Quan Family Villa.

Inside the study, Quan Yue was entertaining the first guest who had arrived in Vast Sea City.

"It's been a week since we last parted. I wonder how Vice Factory Director Jiang is doing?"

Quan Yue asked in a kind and friendly manner.

"Thanks to your good fortune, I've been eating well these days and my body has become quite robust."

Quan Yue's guest was none other than Jiang Jun, whom he had met by chance at the Shipyard a week earlier.

Jiang Jun felt a pang of sadness upon seeing Quan Yue again.

Ever since Su Li stole his customer last time, Su Li has been monitoring him even more closely.

These days, even when he stood guard at the door waiting for the 'fish to fall into the net,' his men from Su Li's faction would snatch them away.

Su Li was also Vice Captain, and the other party was a Soul King- level Tool Soul Master. His influence on the field was incomparable to that of a young man like him who only had the title of vice-factory director.

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

"Haha, that's good, that's good. Being able to eat means you're still healthy. That's great, really great."

Quan Yue seemed not to understand, and instead burst into loud laughter.

Seeing Quan Yue's carefree attitude, Jiang Jun sighed inwardly and then asked helplessly, "May I ask why you summoned me here, sir? Wasn't the shipbuilding contract already signed with Senior Brother Su?"

He is currently in the most expensive area of Vast Sea City.

This demonstrates just how much wealth and power Quan Yue wielded.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Jun's dormant heart began to beat again.

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

Quan Yue smiled slightly and said, "I heard that Vice Factory Director Jiang is the current director's last disciple. He has been learning shipbuilding skills from the director since he was a child. Now that more than ten years have passed, Vice Factory Director Jiang's skills must be very profound."

Upon hearing Quan Yue's praise, Jiang Jun's face darkened, and he said with a hint of shame, "You flatter me. Although I am a student of the factory director, I have never personally guided him or participated in shipbuilding. I can only say that I have theoretical knowledge and cannot be considered highly skilled."

Upon hearing this, Quan Yue asked in great shock, "What! Even the factory director's top apprentice can't participate in shipbuilding? Truly, the reputation of Heaven Dou First Shipyard is well-deserved. The requirements for shipbuilders are so high."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun's anger surged into his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Snort!"

Quan Yue paused, puzzled, and asked, "Why is the deputy factory director so angry?"

Jiang Jun complained angrily, "I just turned twenty-four this year. Ordinary apprentices can start practicing in their early twenties. By my age, many people have already started their own businesses."

However, due to some unsavory reasons, I could only drift through my days aimlessly within the venue.

As he spoke, Jiang Jun let out a heavy sigh.

Quan Yue to the complaints, a glint of light appeared in his eyes. He said, "In that case, if someone were to sponsor Vice Captain Jiang, I wonder if he would be willing to start his own business."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jun was speechless, and his calm heart was violently shaken.

"This!"

Seeing Jiang Jun in a state of confusion, Quan Yue pressed his advantage, saying, "I've heard that the current factory owner's health is deteriorating and he won't be able to step down from his position for long."

The numerous powerful and influential deputy factory directors within the factory will undoubtedly vie for the position of factory director.

By then, Vice Factory Director Jiang's situation will certainly be even more difficult than it is now.

Therefore, I would like to invite Mr. Jiang to provide guidance to our Quan Family Shipyard.

Jiang Jun finally understood Quan Yue's purpose.

"Is Lord Izumi inviting me?"

Jiang Jun found it hard to believe; he had never encountered such a powerful figure who valued him so much.

Quan Yue nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course."

I know that Mr. Jiang's abilities are second to none, and staying where he is now will only cause his talents to be tarnished.

It just so happens that our Quan Family also wants to build our own Shipyard outside the city, but we are lacking a talented person like Mr. Jiang.

What is Mr. Jiang's opinion?

Within a week, Quan Yue had gathered most of the intelligence about the Shipyard.

Among them, the intelligence he collected focused on Jiang Jun, which gave him a thorough understanding of Jiang Jun.

The current director of Vast Sea Shipyard has trained several apprentices in his early years.

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

Several disciples, after mastering their skills, will be appointed as deputy factory directors by the factory manager and participate in specific affairs.

With the help of his disciples, the Shipyard director led the massive Shipyard to even greater heights.

However, as time went by, the factory manager's decision to delegate power back then actually made the situation inside the factory more complicated and chaotic.

The apprentices, who had been in power for many years, became increasingly greedy, and each of them developed a desire for the position of factory manager. As a result, all sorts of open and covert struggles arose.

Among them, Su Li, with his talent as Spirit Master, gathered together many forces within the factory and became the most powerful person.

Having power wasn't enough for Su Li; he also began to suppress other competitors, among whom Jiang Jun, the youngest and most experienced, became the biggest victim.

However, in theory, even if there is suppression, Jiang Jun, who has no power, should be the least noteworthy person.

However, Jiang Jun possessed the most dazzling talent among all the disciples, and he was also kind and approachable, making him very popular among the factory workers.

These events instilled in Su Li a strange sense of fear.

That's why he left Jiang Jun with absolutely no way out.

However, this was truly 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 mind was in turmoil, and waited for his reply.

Jiang Jun's initial shock turned into great joy.

For someone who has never seen the light of day, even a sliver of light can drive him mad.

Moreover, the invitation from the Quan Family is not just a small glimmer of hope; it is an opportunity for him to see the light of day again.

However, after the initial joy, Jiang Jun fell silent.

Seeing that he had fallen silent again, Quan Yue nodded inwardly and asked, "Is Mr. Jiang worried about the Old Factory Director?"

Jiang Jun nodded.

"Yes, the Old Factory Director is getting weaker and weaker. If I suddenly leave, there will be no one to take care of him."

Therefore, I would like to decline the adults' invitation.

Quan Yue wasn't surprised at all by Jiang Jun's refusal.

Because, with Jiang Jun's talent, even if he is squeezed out in the factory, he can still make a name for himself in the outside world as long as he leaves there.

Even though he endured the suppression, he stayed in the factory all these years just to take care of the elderly factory director.

The factory director's health has suddenly deteriorated in recent years. Although he has not been seriously ill, he has been suffering from minor ailments.

This is also a major reason why Jiang Jun dared not leave, as his other fellow disciples were all busy vying for power.

Only he, a powerless and insignificant fellow, stayed by his Master's side to serve him.
