Before actually getting in touch with Leader, Erwin was still in awe of Leader, and was full of expectations.

Through Seraphine's ability, he saw their souls full of light and heat.

A person with such a beautiful soul cannot be an ordinary person.

But when Erwin followed his daughter to the factory and came to the site of the publicity meeting organized by Leader, he discovered:

"It's a bunch of...young people."

Young people's enthusiasm is always enough, and they always want to go to the front line to shine.

But they are inexperienced and naive, and it is difficult to get things done when they are on the front line.

"No wonder Nini likes to be with them so much." Erwin took a peek at the baby girl who was fascinated by the beautiful soul melody beside him.

In his opinion, in terms of the word "naive", those leaders are not much better than Seraphine.

It's not that he deliberately hurt others——

The leader's performance at this first publicity meeting was indeed unsightly.

The publicity meeting started with introducing the history of Zaun.

In Li Wei's words, this is the concept of helping the audience establish a materialistic view of history.

In order to allow the apprentices to better adapt and understand, Victor deliberately removed all the parts involving specific theories in the article "Where did Zaun come from" for the time being.

No theory, no class, just popular science history.

But even so...

"It's boring enough." Erwin couldn't help but comment in his heart.

Compared with his friend Jess, although Victor is introverted and not good at speeches, he is not a social fear who is awkward in words.

It's not that his explanation is boring, nor is the history itself boring.

It's history stuff, which is...naturally boring to most Zaunites.

The people of Zaun don't even care about who their parents are, so how can they care about what happened hundreds of years ago?

If it's just about exposing Piltover's dark history to them, letting them know about Piltover's oppression of Zaun...that's even more unnecessary.

The Zaunites know the evils of Piltover better than anyone.

They don't need to be taught, they will naturally breathe out the fragrance when they see Old Picheng.

really...

"Someone is about to fall asleep." Erwin noticed that among the apprentices in the audience, some people were already yawning boredly.

It is entirely because they are attracted by the increased salary and treatment, and out of gratitude to the leader, they try hard to pretend to listen carefully.

Victor seems to have noticed this too.

He seized the time to popularize the history, and then entered the next link:

"Complaining?" Erwin thought thoughtfully.

Is this trick that everyone gathers together to drink, chat, and scold the old Picheng together?

The people of Zaun have been doing this for over two hundred years.

This is indeed a good way to enhance cohesion. Although simple, it is practical.

But...

"Is there anyone willing to come up and share his experience?"

"Tell everyone what you have experienced in Zaun, in Piltover, all the way?"

Victor asked this question on the stage, but almost no one responded from the audience.

The air is as dead as when the teacher rolls names and answers questions in class.

"This..." There was silence for a while.

Only then did Victor realize that the atmosphere at the meeting hadn't turned up at all.

Apprentices are still imagining a better life after a salary increase, how can they stand up and talk about those old things?

It takes courage to publicly expose one's scars.

Some people feel embarrassed, some people have concerns, some people don't want to remember the painful past... It's normal.

"You have to create an atmosphere and mobilize your emotions before you can continue the complaining activity." Victor thought.

So how to create an atmosphere and mobilize emotions?

It seems that we can only induce suffering with suffering——

Just find someone who can talk and come up with a paragraph first, so as to make a sample for everyone.

"That, classmate Lina?" Victor invited Lina to the stage.

"Okay!" Lena summoned up her courage and slowly stood in front of everyone.

After brewing her feelings, she began to tell her experience:

"I was born in Zaun just like everyone else..."

Grandparents are long gone. Dad stumbled and fell into the furnace, and his body was burned to slag. The mother suffered a work-related injury and was bedridden. Because she had no money for medical treatment and could not bear the pain, she finally forced the siblings to cut her neck open with a knife.

The brother and sister wanted to dig a pit to bury their mother, but their uncle snatched the body and sold it in an alchemy shop.

After that, Li Wei was determined to take his sister away from Zaan, so he worked hard in Zaan's shops, mines, and factories at a young age... After that, his uncle wanted to sell the grown-up brother and sister into a kiln. They killed their uncle instead, exchanged his body for money, and finally made up enough to pay for their apprenticeship in Piltover.

Are these experiences painful? bitter.

So the atmosphere at the scene finally gradually changed.

Everyone, more or less, thought of the pain they had experienced.

The method of using suffering to induce suffering and inspiring memories seems to have begun to work.

But...

"Then I got into Piltover University..."

From the time Lina spoke here, the atmosphere changed again.

"Huh—" the audience let out a long sigh of relief.

It was as if, after a long and desperate voyage, one finally saw a continent in the midst of the vast sea on which to stand.

Everyone's mood suddenly eased down, and the air was much more relaxed.

"Look, I still have to learn from others... She persisted in studying and studying under such a difficult situation, and was admitted to Piltover University."

"I gave up too early and didn't persevere, so I could only be an apprentice... Sigh!"

Some apprentices sighed with envy and regret.

Although this thought is quite positive.

Never give up or give up in adversity, keep working hard, improve yourself, and use your own hands to hold the throat of fate... This kind of spirit is indeed worth learning for everyone.

but...

"How did this become a motivational speech?" Victor helplessly raised his forehead.

He obviously wanted Lina to go up and complain, so as to arouse everyone's sympathy.

Instead, it turned into a motivational lecture, a clichéd speech to beat everyone up.

"No, no..."

"It's not Lena's problem."

Victor soon discovered more helplessly that this was a common problem among Zaun students.

Because each of them has overcome countless difficulties and obstacles, with their own hard work and struggle, climbed out of Zaun's hell, and was admitted to Piltover University.

Each of them is a struggler, a winner, and a survivor behind the single-plank bridge.

Their experience does not need to be polished at all, and it is a perfect inspirational composition of "Praise Suffering".

Let such a group of inspirational role models who touched Zaun come out to share their experiences, isn't that just a lecture on inspirational learning?

And although these Piltover University students are all from Zaun, their status has actually been far higher than the average Zaun from the moment they were admitted to the university.

Let them complain, I am afraid it will be difficult for the workers to empathize with them.

"Student Lina, come down first..."

Victor thought about it and decided that he had to find someone from among the apprentices to complain.

So he didn't care whether everyone wanted it or not, and randomly selected one from the audience:

"Please go up and share your experience with everyone."

"Um...Okay." They were all called, and it was hard for the apprentice to refuse.

He walked up to the stage nervously, and stammered out his experiences under Victor's encouraging eyes.

The specific content does not need to be introduced.

The people of Zaun have had a bad past.

The experience of this apprentice sounds worse than that of Lina.

"It should work this time..." Victor secretly expected.

Just as he was thinking in this way, he saw the apprentice talking and saying:

"Thank you, Mr. Erwin! Thank you, Professor Victor!"

"You guys saved me from that hopeless life—"

"In the future, I will regard the factory as my home, and my family as everyone's. I will take responsibility bravely and work hard...for Mr. Erwin and everyone who leads the way, I will shed the last drop of sweat!"

Victor: "..."
