Before the publicity meeting started, Lena found Victor worriedly on behalf of her classmates:

"Professor Victor, we seem to have made a big mistake."

"What happened?" Victor asked, "Did someone of us have a conflict with the workers?"

"No. The workers are very cooperative and respect us. But the problem is, they respect us too much now—"

"Because..." Lina's face was full of regret: "In order to encourage the apprentices to actively communicate and attract them to take the initiative to participate in our promotional meeting, we just got excited..."

"Professor Victor, you and my brother have decided to give apprentices a higher salary, and told them in advance."

"Is... is there a problem?" Victor didn't realize the problem at first.

Both he and Li Wei felt that the life of apprentices in Zaun was too hard, so they planned to improve the treatment of apprentices after taking over the factory, and immediately achieved equal pay for equal work between Zaun people and Picheng people.

This matter will be announced sooner or later. Is there a problem with announcing it a few days earlier?

"Yes, and it's a big problem. The main reason is... our propaganda work has not yet achieved results, and the workers have not yet awakened to the most basic class consciousness."

"At this time, give them a salary increase and treatment, and save them from the sea of ​​suffering, and they will inevitably..."

"Think of us as saviors."

As she said that, Lena happened to see something.

She pouted over there, and Victor took advantage of the situation to look there:

I saw Mr. Irvine wearing a suit, wearing a top hat and holding a civilized staff. As soon as he walked into the factory building holding Seraphine's arm, he was enthusiastically stopped by those shabby apprentices.

The apprentices gathered around Erwin and his daughter excitedly, asking:

"Mr. Erwin! I heard that we will be able to get the same wages as the people of Piltover in the future. Is this true?"

After getting a positive answer from Boss Erwin and repeatedly confirming that this is not a hallucination or a joke...

The apprentices were all moved to tears.

It's real crying, not fake at all.

"Mr. Erwin, you, you are such a good person... Thank you! Thank you!" Someone thanked with tears.

"Jana bless you, I wish you and your family a lifetime of happiness and happiness!" Someone prayed sincerely.

"Mr. Erwin... No, Master Erwin!" Some even recognized their masters on the spot: "We are all rough people, and we don't know how to say nice things... Anyway, from now on, everyone's poor lives , I’ll sell them all to you!”

"Let's eat Lord Erwin's meal and be Lord Erwin's soldiers!"

As a business owner, Erwin now seems to be the food and clothing parents in the eyes of the apprentices... No, they are biological parents without blood relationship... Even the biological parents are not related to Erwin.

After all, most people in Zaan don't have the opportunity to enjoy the kindness of their parents' upbringing.

Erwin, who is not relatives or relatives, not only "supports" them, but also takes them to live a good life together.

The treatment is equivalent to that of Piltover workers... This is something they never dared to dream of before!

"Ahem, everyone misunderstood!" Erwin was very self-aware.

He didn't want to and didn't dare to take this credit, so he immediately clarified with a clear attitude: "It's not my intention to raise everyone's treatment, but the will of Goddess Janna—"

"Professor Victor over here, these students who are the leaders, fought for the benefits for everyone!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Victor in unison, and at the students from the leaders.

Looking at these grateful and satisfied gazes, Victor's scalp tingled for a while.

He was really afraid that everyone would kneel down to him in the next second.

"Oops." Victor finally understood where the problem was.

Li Wei said that no matter how the leader educates the masses, it is not as profound as the "direct education" of the bourgeoisie to the masses. The role of truly awakening the masses can only be played by the enemy himself.

But now, they haven't explained the truth clearly to the apprentices, and haven't let everyone know what kind of organization the leader is, and let everyone know what they should do, they have hurriedly sent them the life they dreamed of.

In the eyes of those apprentices, Victor is their savior.

In their view, Victor is just a business owner.

So before they recognized the true face of the business owners and realized the "direct education" given to them by the business owners, they first received the "welfare gift package from the business owners".

"Not only that, because they don't understand the theory of labor creating value and surplus value, these workers generally don't know who supports whom between them and the business owners."

"Mr. Erwin took a little care of the apprentices before, and many people felt that the business owners supported them and gave them a chance to eat well."

"And now that we have greatly increased the treatment of apprentices, more people feel:"

"If you give less money, it's exploitation; if you give more money, it's not exploitation."

"Giving as much as us is a great kindness."

Zaun is a city ruled by the Alchemist Baron. Zaun people are more or less influenced by gang culture, and they like to show loyalty and loyalty.

Whoever can feed them and let them live a good life, they will work hard for whoever can.

As for whether this meal came from the gift of the alchemy baron, or they earned it with their own lives... They never considered it.

Because in Zaan, if you have a life, you may not be able to earn a living.

But a bite of food from the alchemy baron can always save their lives.

Therefore, the combination of ignorant and backward thinking and Zaun's cultural traditions, the result becomes:

"Not only did they not wake up, but they also began to be grateful to us as a 'good business owner'...even, they were willing to regard us as their masters." Lena sighed helplessly:

"Like those Piltover workers, bought off by the benefits of high profits."

How is this promoting Janna's thoughts?

It is simply a reverse operation, helping the business owners of Piltover to promote it.

"It seems that our strategy has indeed gone wrong..." Victor fell into deep thought.

Because this is a world where extraordinary power exists, and personal power is greater than everything else. So Li Wei's initial strategy was to mobilize the masses, but not to mobilize the masses to fight.

This would avoid unnecessary bloodshed. But now it seems... the victory that is easily achieved without fighting inevitably makes everyone have a "savior feeling".

They only know that they are saved, and they should thank the Savior.

If this kind of thinking spreads, some people may start to look forward to the coming of the savior in the future, and even rely on the existence of the savior. If you encounter difficulties, just lie down and do nothing, just wait for the goddess with great powers to come to your rescue.

"We must find a way to avoid this situation in the future."

"In the future, we must first complete the education of Janna's thoughts on the workers, let the workers realize that Janna's power is the power of all people, and it comes from them, and then lead them to fight for their rights...no."

"At least let everyone understand that this victory was won by themselves!"

Victor sums up experience in practice and plans future publicity strategies.

The immature team of leaders is also gradually maturing.

But these are things for later.

The problem they have to face now is that after this wave of reverse operations, the life of the apprentices has changed for the better. And once people's life is good, they naturally don't want to change the status quo.

Unknowingly, the leader's propaganda work has become more difficult.

"The only thing we can do is to go on—" Victor placed his hope in the promotional meeting later: "I hope that the trick of complaining...will work?"
