LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna

Mel and Levi went to many places, including casinos, brothels, and shimmering shops.

Most of the casinos have been shut down, and a few have been converted into table game shops;

Brothels were repurposed from waste and turned into serious bars and hotels;

Shimmer shop is not closed. Instead, the brand was changed directly on the spot and changed to "Pilterover Drug Addiction Treatment Center".

Not only does it help those addicts sheltered by leaders to quit their addictions, but it also opens up to the outside world and accepts those who are willing to save themselves free of charge.

Apart from these places, what surprised Mel the most was the Zaun community in South City after the leader took over.

What was the original situation in the Zaun community, she knew very well:

Dirty, messy and poor, the streets are full of rubbish, the buildings are dripping with sewage, the air is foul-smelling, and there are beggars, homeless and drug addicts everywhere.

But less than 10 days after the leader took over here, the Zaun community has completely changed.

"So... there's no rubbish left?"

The buildings in the Zaun community are still dilapidated, but the streets and alleys have become extremely clean.

Not only was there no rubbish to be seen, but there wasn't even ash on the road.

It’s just like the articles about Piltover by foreigners, walking here with your shoes off, your white socks won’t turn black when you walk home.

"Of course it's clean." Levi explained:

"We organized the rescued sex workers, sheltered beggars, and homeless people into cleaning labor teams. The road alone needs to be cleaned seven times a day."

"Seven times cleaning a street?" Mel frowned.

Wouldn't the leader be fooled by the promotional soft article of Picheng, and think that sweeping the street is like washing dishes?

Suddenly, Mel realized something: "You let those people sweep the streets, do you give them money?"

"Yes." Levi replied.

Now Mel understood: "Relief with work, this is an old method that has been tried and tested."

"But the problem is..."

Relief with work, it must have a suitable work item.

Leaders are so busy sweeping the streets seven times a day, it seems that there are not so many work projects to solve the problem of reemployment of these beggars, homeless people, and sex workers.

As a result, people were rescued, but their jobs and lives were lost.

It can only use organizational financial subsidies to create jobs even if there are no jobs.

"Why not pay directly?" Mel asked. "The jobs you create are almost redundant anyway."

"Subsidies for workers can be paid directly." Li Wei explained: "But for these beggars, homeless people who are used to living on charity, and sex workers who rely on their bodies to earn money, we have to let them get used to it again. Get paid according to your work and live a life of self-sufficiency."

"The conditions are limited now. When the conditions are available in the future, we will customize some vocational skills training courses for them."

"I see." Mel nodded appreciatively:

It is indeed better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

"But it can't go on like this." Mel pointed out sharply again: "Projects that are not profitable are destined to be unsustainable for a long time."

"I don't know how long you leaders can last financially. But if their employment problem is not solved before the money is burned, then... this attempt by you leaders will become a joke .”

"I understand." Of course Li Wei knew.

But he still emphasized to Mel confidently: "Miss Mel, you can learn more:"

"Actually, besides small projects such as Walkmans, board games, and music tapes, we also have many high-tech projects that can make a lot of money."

"As long as the funds are in place, our factories can be opened one by one."

"At that time, it will not be a problem to solve the employment of tens of thousands of people, let alone these people."

Mel laughed and said nothing:

She is tired of listening to the way that the financing party makes a big deal for the investor.

But Mel also knew in her heart that Professor Victor's ability was not inferior to that of Jess Tallis she admired.

With Victor as the leader, she is also willing to believe in these pies drawn by Li Wei.

But Mel doesn't want to talk business just yet.

She still wants to know something: "If I'm not wrong, Mr. Levi—"

"You Leaders Association, you should still be doing the business of bonded workers left by the Iron Fist Gang?"

"Yes..." Li Wei had a complicated expression: "Miss Mel, have you investigated?"

Mel shook his head: "There is no need to investigate."

"The main business of the Iron Fist is the rental of bonded labor. If you think about it, you can't even solve the employment problem of these sex workers, let alone the bonded labor of thousands of people."

"And your Walkman project has not yet started to make a profit, and you don't open casinos, brothels, and shimmer shops."

"Besides continuing to do the contract labor business, I really can't imagine what other projects you can rely on to feed those thousands of people."

"Indeed..." Li Wei reluctantly admitted.

"Sure enough." Mel said leisurely: "No matter how ideal an idealist is, he will eventually hit a wall in reality."

"But at least we have made a change." Levi retorted: "Even if the change is only a little...we still make the lives of those bonded workers better than before."

"Oh?" Mel frowned, making a gesture of wishing to hear more.

Li Wei also patiently explained:

First of all, the leader concentratedly burned the debt contracts and slave contracts of those bonded workers.

They still have nothing, but they are free.

Secondly, the leader does not draw any commission, and will not ask the contractors to hand over their income like the Iron Fist Gang.

Although bonded workers still earn less, at least all the money they earn belongs to them.

"It's not bad to let them support themselves..." Mel commented appreciatively.

"Also." Li Wei continued to explain: "Our leaders will also stand up for the bonded workers, conduct friendly negotiations with the business owners who employ them, and use the method of 'non-violence and non-cooperation' to maximize their treatment."

"Oh?" Mel was curious now.

She knew how stingy the business owners in Piltover were.

Through "friendly negotiation" and "non-violent non-cooperation", it is possible to make business owners spit out money and let them cut their meat to improve the treatment of bonded workers. Is this possible?

"Your negotiations..." Mel looked delicate: "How did you 'talk'?"

"I don't want to have a collective complaint from business owners in Parliament in a few days."

"Don't worry about that! We absolutely did not use any violence! And I can assure you that they will never go to the parliament to complain and cause trouble for you, Miss Mel."

Li Wei confidently raised the ticket.

"Really?" Mel was very skeptical: "If there is a chance, can you take me to see it?"

"Yes." Li Wei didn't shirk at all: "We can go back to the factory area now - our leader's negotiating team is now negotiating friendly with business owners!"

...................................

After a while.

Following his temper, Mel made a big circle around the city, and finally returned to the factory area.

She followed Li Wei to the gate of a factory, and happened to bump into what he called a "friendly negotiation team."

This "friendly negotiation team" is mainly composed of three people.

Those three are still girls:

Vi, Caitlin, and Seraphine.

They also did not enter the door, but called the business owner to the factory gate, and then began "friendly negotiations."

Mel didn't quite understand it at first, but when the negotiation started, she realized...

The three ladies didn't go in to talk, probably because it's not easy to use indoors.

Because the negotiation process is probably like this:

At the beginning, Wei was wearing a Hextech glove, and casually broke a... seven or eight meter long street lamp from the side of the road.

Then the lights all the way to the head of the business owner:

"Let me ask you, do you give the bonded workers a raise?"

"If you don't raise your salary, I will hang you here!"

Mel: "..."

Li Wei, are you sure that business owners won't come to the council to complain?

She thought so in her heart, and saw Caitlin followed Wei closely, threatening the trembling business owner with a gloomy face:

"Sir, I advise you not to think about going to the law enforcement officer or complaining to the council."

"My mother is a member of the parliament. If you have the ability, you can sue me!"

Mel: "..."

This is simply... worse than the Iron Fist gang.

"Is there still a king's law here? Is there still a law?" The business owner also cried angrily.

Caitlin, the former Piltover policewoman, told him coldly at this time: "I am Wang Fa, and Gilaman is the law! If you don't agree, you can try!"

The business owner, whose backstage was obviously not strong enough, was quickly succumbed to fright: "Okay...okay, I can give the bonded workers a little bit more salary."

"But it can't be raised much, otherwise the cost of employing people will be too high, and my small business will lose money."

"The most I can give..."

The business owner hesitated to say a price.

"It's just this little money?" Wei waved the street lamp cursingly: "Are you sending beggars away?"

"Really, it can't be higher..." The business owner begged tearfully, "If the wages go up any further, I'm going to go bankrupt!"

He cries with emotion. Because it really hurts.

And at this time, it was the turn of Seraphine in the three-member negotiating team:

"This guy is lying!"

The business owner was crying about his difficulties, and Seraphine, who had been listening to the voice of her heart with her eyes closed, suddenly pointed at him:

"I've 'heard' clearly—"

"With the current salary, he still has plenty of money to make!"
