"Congratulations to you all."
"You are the first group today to completely pass the strength certification." The short-haired female office worker smiled.
Upon hearing this,
Jiang Ye showed no reaction.
However, Su TongāEr looked at him with great surprise.
"Did you really pass?"
Yun QingāEr also looked at Jiang Ye in amazement.
Jiang Ye chuckled, "Luck... just lucky."
"..." Su TongāEr looked at him with an odd expression.
The short-haired female office worker was not surprised at the two girlsā reactions.
Before this, she had not expected that Jiang Ye could actually pass the certification.
"The three of you, our companyās Director Liu would like to meet with you." The short-haired female office worker smiled, "Please follow me."
"Okay."
The three of them nodded and followed her towards the elevator.
Yun QingāEr followed behind Su TongāEr, looking at Jiang Ye with some curiosity.
"Lin Yushu, who scored the highest in An City, only just reached 900 points."
"Jiang Ye? Iāve never even heard of him, how could he pass the Star Sea Divine Path certification?" Yun QingāEr was filled with confusion.
...
Soon, the three followed the short-haired female office worker to an office on the top floor.
Inside the office sat a muscular black-haired man.
"Director Liu." The female office worker bowed slightly to the man.
"Mm." The muscular man nodded, "You can leave now."
The female office worker turned and left.
Jiang Ye, Su TongāEr, and Yun QingāEr curiously looked at the man.
"Haha, no need to be nervous."
Director Liu smiled broadly, "Let me introduce myself, Iām Liu Beiqiang."
"From the Star Sea Conglomerate, Iām in charge of the Star Sea Divine Path certification point in Cyan Yang City. All matters, big or small, here are under my management."
"I invited the three of you here to see if you are interested in joining us in the future?"
Director Liu got straight to the point.
After saying this, he looked at the three of them.
"Sorry." Su TongāEr smiled mischievously, "I donāt want to join the conglomerate."
After she refused, Yun QingāEr also shook her head.
"What about you, Jiang Ye?" Director Liu looked at Jiang Ye.
"Join the Star Sea Conglomerate?" Jiang Ye thought for a moment and shook his head, "I donāt have that intention at the moment."
He had already become a Preparatory Star Positioner.
Adding to some ingrained biases,
Jiang Ye always maintained a stance of keeping his distance from the conglomerate, let alone joining it.
Hearing their responses, Liu Beiqiang was not surprised.
"Not joining is fine."
"All three of you, having passed the Star Sea Divine Path certification, are exceptionally talented." Liu Beiqiang smiled, "I personally sponsor each of you with 500,000 Federation credits, wishing you success on the college entrance exams."
"What?"
Su TongāEr widened her eyes in surprise, "500,000?"
Jiang Ye was also a bit surprised, a personal sponsorship of 500,000?
An exceptionally large amount.
"Could it be a bit more? Maybe then Iād be willing to join." Su TongāEr blinked her beautiful eyes.
Liu Beiqiang was slightly startled,
but he shook his head and smiled, "500,000 is the maximum amount."
"The maximum amount?"
Su TongāEr snorted, showing a devilish little expression,
"I thought it was really your personal sponsorship, turns out itās a quota allocated by the Star Sea Conglomerate."
"..."
Liu Beiqiangās eye twitched when his intention was exposed, he coughed, "I called you here just to discuss these matters. Su TongāEr, Yun QingāEr, you may leave."
"Student Jiang Ye, please stay."
Hearing this,
Su TongāEr turned without hesitation and led Yun QingāEr out the door.
Before leaving, she even winked at Jiang Ye, seemingly reminding him of something.
"Is she reminding me not to join the Star Sea Conglomerate?" Jiang Ye wondered.
After the two girls left,
Director Liu looked at Jiang Ye, smiling, "Jiang Ye, for you, I want to add another 500,000 to the previous amount."
"A total of one million!" He said, "In my personal capacity, as a gift to you."
Jiang Ye was taken aback.
One million?
This was too overwhelming.
Just months ago, he couldnāt have dared to imagine this.
"Director Liu." Jiang Ye couldnāt help but ask, "Why give me an additional 500,000?"
Liu Beiqiang smiled slightly.
"Because compared to those two girls earlier, I actually have more faith in you."
"More faith in me?" Jiang Ye looked at him in surprise.
He believed that the director had read his profile.
Su TongāEr and Yun QingāEr both have Tao Bone talents, whereas he? Only an Original Talent.
But now, the director said he had more faith in him?
"Donāt be surprised."
"Precisely because you have an Original Talent, I have more faith in you." Liu Beiqiang smiled, "Your performance exceeds the data on paper."
"Whether itās Martial Arts Will or combat ability, both are ahead of most competitors at the same level."
"Otherwise, you couldnāt have passed the Star Sea Divine Path certification." Liu Beiqiang stated.
Jiang Ye nodded; these were indeed facts.
"However." Liu Beiqiang suddenly changed his tone, "I have a condition."
"I hope you can join us after graduating from university."
"If you agree, you will immediately receive the sponsorship of one million." Liu Beiqiang said.
Jiang Ye was slightly stunned.
So thatās the catch.
One million, locking in his future employment?
"Jiang Ye."
"This one million comes without any other conditions." Liu Beiqiang took out a contract and smiled, "Sign this contract, and you can take it."
He wore a smile.
As the manager of this certification point,
Liu Beiqiang was well aware of how to negotiate with a student from an ordinary family.
Especially for someone like Jiang Ye, coming from an impoverished background, one million is an irresistible sum.
"Have you considered it?" Liu Beiqiang smiled.
However, Jiang Ye only skimmed through the contract quickly.
Then, he shook his head.
"Iām sorry, Director Liu."
Jiang Ye shook his head, "I donāt plan on joining the Star Sea Conglomerate right now."
"Rejected?" A flash of astonishment appeared in Liu Beiqiangās eyes.
But quickly, he returned to normal.
"Itās fine." Liu Beiqiang chuckled, "The previous 500,000 will still be sponsored to you, no strings attached."
"Thank you, Director Liu." Jiang Ye nodded.
Given what the director had said, he couldnāt decline the gesture.
Liu Beiqiang suddenly inquired, "May I ask, how did you defeat the replica in the final certification?"
Jiang Ye was slightly startled.
He didnāt respond right away, pondering on how to answer.
"Itās okay if you donāt want to say." Liu Beiqiang smiled, "Everyone has their secrets."
Jiang Ye shook his head and said, "Itās no big deal. My Martial Bone Awakening allows me to unleash stronger combat power in emergencies."
What he said was partly true and partly false.
Over the past days, Jiang Ye had already learned that there were countless types of geniuses in the world.
Even with just Martial Bone Awakening, thousands of special abilities could be born.
What he mentioned was not uncommon.
Sure enough, Liu Beiqiang nodded in realization, "No wonder..."
Jiang Ye took the opportunity to ask, "Director Liu, I have a question Iād like to inquire about."
"Feel free to ask."
Jiang Ye said, "I received a Starry Sky Secret Technique from the Star Sea Gift."
"It requires Nine Luminaries Star Energy to activate."
"Does Director Liu know the origin of this Nine Luminaries Star Energy?"
As soon as he said this,
Liu Beiqiangās pupils contracted sharply, "You obtained a Starry Sky Secret Technique?!"
