LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 9 Janna is making progress
Li Wei and Baku looked back, only to be surprised to find:
The middle-aged man who was angrily cursing Zuan words turned out to be the well-mannered factory owner in suits and leather shoes on weekdays.
"E-Mr. Erwin, you...why are you here?" Baku was frightened and dumbfounded: "I...we just...we were just joking..."
"Joke?" Today's Mr. Irwin is totally unmannered: "I tell you——if you dare to make fun of my daughter behind my back again, I will immediately let the law enforcement officers drive you back to Zaun!"
Baku closed his mouth tremblingly.
Li Wei was also very embarrassed.
"Levi!" Erwin called him angrily.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Erwin..."
"That's enough, I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense." Mr. Erwin said angrily: "Stinky boy, you still have the mood to make some ridiculous jokes here...but I came here specially to find you this time Yes, you know?"
Li Wei's heart sank.
He is a small apprentice, let the boss come to find him in person? I'm afraid something bad is about to happen.
Sure enough, Boss Erwin asked in displeasure, "Li Wei, did you borrow usury outside?"
"I..." Li Wei's face became even more ugly.
Ask a Zaunite who was the worst person he met in Piltover:
A. Piltover business owner B. Piltover landlord C. Piltover law enforcement officer
What will they choose?
The answer is D, the people of Zaun.
The worst thing for Zaun apprentices in Piltover is their fellow Zaunites.
These villains ganged up in Piltover to form gangs, but they didn't dare to bully the people of Piltover, let alone jump in front of the law enforcement officers in Piltover.
They only stared at Zaun's apprentices in Piltover to bully and oppress their fellow villagers.
If the big merchants in Piltover are all vampires, then these Zaun gangsters are juicers—after the vampires have sucked blood, they have to come over and squeeze out the last trace of oil and water left in the human body.
Unfortunately, Li Wei got involved with these bastards.
In order to treat his younger sister, he borrowed a loan shark from a Zaun gangster. The interest rate of this usury loan has long been a figure that is far more desperate than the rent.
"The gangsters from the Iron Fist Gang even came directly to the factory during the day-they came to collect debts from you by name!"
"Li Wei, I advise you to handle your own affairs well, otherwise the production in the factory will be delayed..."
"I won't keep you anymore either."
"I...understand." Li Wei sighed.
He knew that Boss Erwin wouldn't be afraid of those gangsters, but he certainly didn't want to offend them either.
At least, there is no need to offend others for a small apprentice.
"As long as you know."
"You wish for luck."
Erwin made the last sentence, turned around and was about to leave.
Baku, as well as other onlookers, also cast sympathetic glances at Li Wei.
Everyone realized that Li Wei might be leaving.
"Wait, Mr. Erwin..." Li Wei stood up suddenly and stopped his boss.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"Mr. Erwin." Levi considered his tone: "Can I advance next month's salary from you? You know, my current situation..."
He doesn't have to pretend to be miserable now, it's already miserable.
The workers also looked at it one after another, showing the sad expression of the rabbit and the fox.
"Are you kidding me?" But almost without any hesitation, Erwin coldly rejected him: "Li Wei, are you still ashamed to ask me to get my salary in advance? How many boards did you solder and how much wasted last month?" Mithril, you know it yourself, right?"
"I didn't deduct all your wages for the past two months to make you lose money, I've done my best."
"But you still want to pay in advance for next month?"
"Why don't you just come and grab it!"
Li Wei couldn't speak at all.
The cold-faced and warm-hearted good boss in the original owner's impression seems to be only cold at this time.
But what could he do? Tomorrow the landlord will bring law enforcement officers to evict people, and if they can't pay, they have to go back to Zaun.
"Mr. Erwin..." Levi still wanted to fight for it.
"Enough!" Boss Erwin just interrupted him impatiently: "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me."
As he spoke, he glared viciously at the onlookers:
"What are you all doing blankly? It's still working time!"
The workers hurriedly buried their heads in their work, not even daring to look any further.
Then Erwin looked at Li Wei again: "Li Wei, don't do it if you don't want to, don't affect production here—"
"Half of today's wages will be deducted, and I will be punished!"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Wei's response.
The two factory security guards who had been following the boss all the time stepped forward with great insight, forked Li Wei from the work station like a chicken, and forked all the way out of the workshop.
"Hiss..." The workers were all frightened.
Even his best friend Baku shrank his head and dared not speak.
So, just like that, Li Wei was roughly kicked out of the workshop, and was forced to stand outside the workshop as punishment.
His old overalls are thin. The night wind carried the humidity of the port, and he shivered when it blew.
"My M!"
Li Wei couldn't help but scold Zu'an.
The original owner was still too naive. What is cold in the face and warm in the heart? What the hell is this hot in the heart?
It seems that Erwin is the kind of boss who "brings money from good people". He usually does not hesitate to give employees some small favors, and refers to employees as his brothers and family members. But once something happens, the employee is useless...they will throw the employee away like toilet paper.
"Those bloody hooligans even came to the factory to collect their debts."
"Now Boss Erwin is obviously afraid of getting into trouble, and wants to 'graduate' me directly. How can he do a loss-making business and give me an advance payment for next month's salary?"
Li Wei sighed helplessly in his heart.
But just as he was scolding happily, there was a sound of approaching footsteps behind him——
Looking back, it turned out that the person who came was Mr. Erwin!
After he inspected the workshop, he came over alone.
"Boss?" Li Wei was a little surprised: "What the hell...cough cough, why are you here?"
Erwin didn't speak, just walked over with a cold face and handed him a small cloth bag.
When Li Wei received it, he realized that the bag was a bit heavy.
"This is?"
"Your salary for next month," Erwin replied.
"Will you give it to me?" Li Wei was puzzled: "Then you just..."
"There were too many people inside just now."
"I run a factory, not a charity. I can't just give money to anyone who comes to sell miserably."
"At least, I can't start this in the factory... Otherwise, if everyone is like you and comes to me for money when they have difficulties at home, my factory will be out of control."
As he spoke, Erwin gave him a dissatisfied look.
Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then he clenched the money bag with a complicated expression: "Thank you...Mr. Erwin."
"I swear, I won't talk about it."
"That's good." Mr. Erwin's expression softened.
He thought for a while, and then asked, "Is this month's salary really enough to solve your troubles?"
"It's enough for an emergency, and I'll figure out the rest." Li Wei said confidently, "Don't worry, I won't come here to bother you again."
"Oh, what can you think of!" Erwin taught with sincerity: "Usury is something like this, and it's over if you touch it. I said how can you be so stupid, dare you believe your fellow Zaun people? "
"I don't believe them either. But it can't be helped. My sister was sick at that time."
"You have a sister?"
"Well, she's 18 years old."
"She's here too?" Erwin patiently chatted with a primary school apprentice like him.
"Yes, I brought her here."
"Apprentice?"
"No, my sister is an international student. She is studying Hex Mechanical Engineering at Pittsburgh University."
"Your sister is at Picheng University?" Erwin was slightly taken aback, and then, as if recalling something, he said to Li Wei with emotion: "Yes, your sister is very promising."
"The people of Zaun have to study hard, learn better and more seriously than all the people in Piltover, to have a chance to stay here. After all, Piltover is a place where anyone can realize their dreams... as long as you Ken persisted."
"Huh?" Li Wei was slightly taken aback. He seemed to hear something faintly.
"Come on..." Erwin finally patted him on the shoulder: "Everything will be fine."
After speaking, the boss finally turned and left.
Erwin's back gradually faded away.
Suddenly, Janna poked her head out of Levi's purse.
"He's from Zaun, too," she sighed.
"you know?"
"Well, I met by chance more than twenty years ago." Janna has been active in Shuangcheng, and the goddess never forgets: "He was still an apprentice at that time, just like you, supporting his girlfriend to study in college."
"In order for their next generation to be born in Piltover in the future, they are all desperate."
"However... I haven't seen him for more than 20 years, and he has changed a bit."
"What changed?"
"Erwin was a good man before."
"Isn't it the same now?" Li Wei felt that the boss was already very good. He is a good man.
"He's still a good guy." Janna just sighed:
"But he's not pure anymore..."
"He obviously sympathizes with the apprentices in Zaun, but he is still only willing to pay you wages that are barely enough for Hukou. Even if he is kind enough to help the workers, he must sneak away from others. He is afraid that his good deeds will damage the factory. 'Rules', let his conscience keep him from earning more money."
"It seems that the only meaning of his life is to make more money. For this, even if he doesn't want to, he must make himself cold and ruthless."
"Wait..." Suddenly, Janna seemed to think of something: "Mr. Summoner, is this what you said..."
"Alienation of people?"
"Huh?" Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "You really learn fast, Janna."
