Han Hai City, inner city, the Quan family.
"You're back so quickly, did something happen?"
Quan Yue asked with a puzzled expression.
Su Ling'er recounted everything that had just happened to Quan Yue in detail.
Quan Yue fell into deep thought after listening.

"Things are developing in an unexpected direction. What should we do next?" Su Ling'er asked.
Quan Yue sighed softly, "I thought it was an internal struggle, but I didn't expect external forces to be involved. Ling'er, can you give me a detailed account of the stranger's information?"
Su Ling'er replied, "What's certain is that the other party is a five-ring Soul King, and a Sea Soul Master who uses water-attribute soul power. Moreover, they possess a special skill that can change the scenery and isolate the inside from the outside.
Oh right, that Su Li also called him Master Xu, so his surname should be Xu."
Although the hidden Soul Master's soul skill was quite special, their strength was weaker than expected.
After pondering, Quan Yue replied, "We still don't have enough information. Let's wait and see. The shipyard will definitely help us investigate first."
A week later.
Quan Yue also sent people to investigate the outside news, but the attack on Factory Director Sun did not cause too much commotion.
It seemed to have been deliberately suppressed.
However, Quan Yue wasn't too anxious and didn't conduct an in-depth investigation.
Because he knew that it wouldn't be long before he found out the situation.
"Thank you, Lord Quan and Madam Su, for saving my life. I've come specially today to express my gratitude."
Sun Miao, an old man in his eighties, bowed solemnly to Quan Yue to express his thanks.
Quan Yue quickly helped Sun Miao up and said gently, "It was just a small matter. Moreover, we actually had selfish motives when we helped you."
Seeing Quan Yue's frankness, Sun Miao's inner vigilance dissipated by more than half.
After the three of them sat down, Sun Miao directly cut to the chase, "I've also brought some gifts this time. Please, Lord Quan, accept them."
Quan Yue originally didn't want to accept them, but seeing Sun Miao's serious expression, he didn't refuse and readily accepted.
"As the saying goes, one shouldn't refuse a gift from an elder. Then, Quan will accept it."
Accepting this gift actually meant that the life-saving grace was being repaid, but Quan Yue didn't care.
Sun Miao took out a thick stack of papers from his chest and placed them in front of Quan Yue.
Quan Yue curiously picked them up and looked at the words on them, but after reading the first page, Quan Yue couldn't hide his excitement and stood up.
"This, this..." Quan Yue hurriedly flipped through the following pages, and said in disbelief, "This is too precious, we can't accept it all."
Quan Yue hurriedly pushed the papers in his hand back to Sun Miao.
But Sun Miao pushed them back to Quan Yue again, and said affirmatively, "Compared to the life-saving grace, these humble gifts are not worth mentioning."
"But, these are the contract documents for dozens of sea ships, with a total value of hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins. We are ashamed to receive them, ashamed!"
Quan Yue didn't expect Sun Miao to be so generous, actually giving them dozens of sea ships without batting an eye.
Sun Miao said magnanimously, "I've been building ships my whole life, and I have some meager savings. I can still take out thirty sea ships.
Moreover, this is still my personal collection, and it's also given to the Quan family in my personal name, and it has nothing to do with the shipyard. Lord Quan can rest assured and accept it."
What was the concept of thirty sea ships?
A small sea ship could carry about thirty to forty people.
Thirty ships could carry more than a thousand people.
Moreover, Quan Yue had just flipped through them, and small sea ships only accounted for about half, the remaining half included one large sea ship, and the rest were all medium-sized sea ships.
Medium-sized sea ships were already the mainstay of navigation, not only could they carry nearly a hundred people, but they could also cross the sea and sail to the deep-sea area.
However, the value of many medium-sized and small sea ships was still not comparable to that of a single large sea ship.
A large sea ship that could carry a thousand people was already a real behemoth. If the Quan family wanted to build one themselves, it would take several years just for research, plus the actual shipbuilding, it would be impossible to build one without spending more than ten years.
But now, Sun Miao actually directly equipped them with a set of sea ships. As long as the personnel were complete, they could directly pull up a fleet.
Sun Miao's generosity directly made up for the Quan family's early predicament of lacking ships.
Faced with such a huge temptation, it took Quan Yue a few seconds to break free.
"Our Quan family is new here, and we really need these sea ships, then we will accept them without ceremony."
After this incident, the atmosphere between Quan Yue and Sun Miao became more relaxed.
Sun Miao continued, "Besides the sea ships, I actually have one more thing I want to discuss with Lord Quan."
Quan Yue replied, "Is it about Su Li and that unidentified Sea Soul Master?"
Sun Miao shook his head and said, "We can put this matter aside. What I want to talk about is about Jiang Jun."
"Jiang Jun!" Quan Yue looked at Jiang Jun in confusion.
Jiang Jun smiled and nodded at Quan Yue, then took over Sun Miao's words and continued, "I made an oath to Lord Quan before. Today, I'm here to fulfill my oath.
If Lord Quan still has the intention of building a shipyard, I'm willing to join the Quan family and serve as the director of the Quan family's shipyard."
Surprise after surprise.
The joining of a shipbuilder was even more surprising to Quan Yue than directly gifting ships.
With a shipbuilder, they could be considered to have truly independent research and development capabilities.
Shipbuilding technology was the foundation for their Quan family to gain a foothold in Han Hai City.
Quan Yue hesitated for a moment, then asked Sun Miao, "Does Factory Director Sun really not mind handing over his beloved disciple to us? Will this have any impact on the Han Hai Shipyard?"
Sun Miao smiled and said, "I've already stepped down from the position of factory director. What happens after that is no longer my business."
"What!"
Quan Yue was shocked and said, "Looking at your condition, you will definitely recover to your original state before long.
After you recover, with your cultivation, you can still lead for at least ten years. Why did you suddenly resign?"
Sun Miao's expression was slightly lonely and said, "It's not because of my health. I just feel that I've been too busy with work these years and have neglected many things. Moreover, after being busy for decades, it's time to rest."
Sun Miao had undergone an important transformation in his heart after experiencing Su Li's betrayal.
Therefore, he directly handed over the position of factory director to another disciple.
As the saying goes, it's good to be free of worries. After Sun Miao stepped down from his post, he shifted his attention to more things he hadn't noticed before.
"Although Jiang Jun is young, he has inherited my true teachings and will definitely not disappoint you."
Jiang Jun also looked at Quan Yue with a hopeful expression.
Seeing this situation, Quan Yue was overjoyed, stood up, extended his hand to Jiang Jun, and said, "On behalf of the Quan family, I welcome Grandmaster Jiang's joining."
