Chapter 501 - 499: The Person Who Should Benefit the Most
Jiang Yifan was right, it was indeed a delay. But she had already employed all the available hands, and those led by Wong Qiao were among the better craftsmen, who were not easily found.
Seeing Ye Xinyan finally turning her face towards him, Jiang Yifan immediately restrained his smile and seriously said, "I just heard a brief overview from Wong Qiao, and the device you want to create is not just this Chain Inversion Device. You can’t afford to focus all your energy on this alone; the other auxiliary and simpler parts should also be started."
"There’s no one available," Ye Xinyan said plainly, "If I were to pull people from Wong Qiao’s team for other tasks, the progress on the Chain Inversion Device would be even slower."
Jiang Yifan put the rough sketch in his hand in front of Ye Xinyan, "Then find more people to do it. As for manpower, let’s all think of a solution together, or perhaps still transfer people from Sixth Master, after all, his people are somewhat more reliable."
"Please, have a seat, Lord Jiang," Ye Xinyan stood up and gestured to the chair by the small table near the window. This really was a problem that required collective wisdom, and she was in a predicament. It was best to listen to more suggestions.
Once Jiang Yifan took a seat, Ye Xinyan said, "I have considered what Lord Jiang suggested. However, this is a device for use in the Construction Industry, and has nothing to do with Sixth Master’s affairs. It’s not quite proper to make use of the people under Sixth Master, is it? He too is in great need of hands right now, and is probably short on manpower."
Ye Xinyan glanced at Zhou Biyao but did not delve further. When she had left the capital, Jinrong was planning the fine details of the railway transport project. It was likely that he was already short on people, let alone to lend a hand to the Qi Family Construction Business.
Jiang Yifan shook his head and said, "I think otherwise. The tools you are making here are not only useful for the Construction Industry. If they can be successfully created, they could also double the work efficiency in other areas."
