In this way, Lu Dali began his speech amidst enthusiastic cheers.

“I, Lu Dali, am a skilled worker. I deal with machine tools and parts every day, so I don’t know how to speak. Please forgive me if I say anything wrong later.” With that, he bowed deeply to the crowd.

“Brother Dali, we love to hear whatever you say.” “Come on! Brother Dali!” Below the stage, several children shouted loudly. They were the ones who were listening to the story under the Heavenly Tree.

“Thank you for your trust, everyone. Let’s start talking vigorously …”

“From childhood until now, there has always been a question that puzzles me, and that is …” He paused for a moment, glanced around, and continued, “Why can’t we, Chun Qiu Heavy Industries, produce a qualified Feng Lin Volcano anymore?”

“One hundred and eighty years ago, our ancestors came here empty-handed.”

“They reclaimed the wilderness, planted trees and fields, built factories, everything started from scratch …”

“However, in that most difficult era, they used the most crude equipment and the most backward technology to make the best machinery in the world, and they still let us bathe in glory!”

“But today, our technology is more advanced and our equipment is better, but we can no longer produce a true Wind Forest Volcano?” Lu Dali asked.

Beneath the stage, thousands of pairs of eyes were blinking as they listened quietly.

“That’s because they have a cluster of fire in their hearts, a belief …”

“For this conviction, they fused their souls and lives into steel to create the world-famous Wind Forest Volcano!”

“Then, what is this belief?”

“Can I eat it as a meal?” Lu Dali asked seriously. Everyone immediately burst into laughter. Then, he asked himself, “Obviously not.”

“So, in order to illustrate this belief, I have to tell a story.”

“I hope everyone can listen patiently and not be too verbose …”

“Yeah! There’s another story to hear.” As soon as he finished speaking, the children below the stage began to rejoice.

“What I want to tell you is not a heroic deed, nor is it a historical poem, but a …” Lu Dali thought for a moment and said, “An ordinary, insignificant story.”

“More than ten years ago, there were two youths …”

“They are all orphans. They grew up eating Hundred Family Rice and are best friends. Their favorite thing is to listen to the old man’s stories under the banyan tree.”

“A poem of the bright moon, a downpour of rain, a starless light, a statue of the mountains …”

“They all yearn for the heroes in the story. They always dream of one day being able to follow them and break through the heavens and earth.”

“However, they are all very weak. They have neither strength nor knowledge. Even if they eat a mouthful of food, they have to rely on everyone to help them.”

“Until one day, one of the teenagers made up his mind and said to his friend …”

“I want to go out and learn my skills. When I learn it, I will come back and forge swords for heroes. Forge the sharpest sword in the world, and then walk side by side with them!”

“So, they agreed, one stays to look after the house, the other goes out to roam …” With that, Lu Dali took out a letter from his bosom and carefully opened it. The envelope was slightly yellowed, and the letter paper was actually a crumpled advertisement paper.

“My dear friend, I haven’t seen you for half a year. I miss you so much. I miss everyone. When I first got here, I thought, I’m going to write to you and tell you how beautiful this place is. The streets were neat and clean, and there was not even a scrap of paper on the streets. There were only colorful flowers and emerald green grass, as well as many beautiful little girls. The people here are very good-looking, well-dressed and polite, unlike us, who speak in rough voices. ”

“However, two days after I came here, I gave up on this idea.”

“Behind the prosperity is coldness and cruelty.”

“I can’t afford to stay here even in the cheapest hotels. I can spend all my money in one night.”

“I want to rest under the eaves for a while. In less than half an hour, someone will drive me away.”

“I can’t even afford the cheapest fast food here, so …”

“I can only sleep under the bridge and eat with stray cats and dogs.”

“I don’t have a legal ID and I’m not old enough. I can only hide in the back alley and wash the dishes for the restaurant for a whole day.”

“Dear friend, I don’t want to complain to you, but I can’t help it.”

“It’s cold today and I’ve caught a cold again, but the restaurant owner still won’t let me take a day off. He said that if I don’t wash, he’ll let someone else wash it. His restaurant can’t be closed. There was nothing I could do, so I had to wash my scalp. But I was dizzy. I accidentally broke the plate, and the boss hit me on the head with a rolling pin, causing my head to bleed. He even threatened me to let the police catch me back. ”

“I’m under the overpass right now, writing to you with a candle. The north wind is blowing outside. It’s very cold. It’s really very cold. I’m trembling from head to toe.”

“I keep thinking about the heroes in the story. They are determined and unyielding. What are they experiencing compared to my pain?”

“But I’m afraid I’ll die here, so I have to write to you.”

“If I can’t survive, I hope you can still remember me. Remember to have such a friend, remember the agreement between us, remember our dreams.”

“Forge the sharpest sword in the world for a hero!”

“Also, don’t tell anyone about what I told you. Because when I left, I said I was going to my relatives, so don’t let them worry.”

After reading the first letter, Lu Dali carefully put it away and took out the second letter to read.

“My dear friend, I finally managed to collect enough money to become a student at Archimedes Polytechnic.”

“However, when I thought everything was going well, fate played a cruel joke on me.”

“Over the years, I’ve worked three jobs a day, never stopping, never resting, but the money I’ve saved is only enough for my first year of school.”

“And now, I have serious tuberculosis. I have to take a lot of medicine every day, and my chest hurts like a fire …”

“I’m sorry. Every time I write to you, I always complain to you.”

“But who wants you to be my best friend? Who can I ask if I don’t complain to you? Who would be willing to listen?”

“I have to admit, I am not a strong person.”

“Last night, I had a dream. I dreamt that you were here, carrying a large bag of fruit, standing at the door and laughing foolishly …”

Then, Lu Dali read the third letter.

“Dear friend, I have come to complain again, but this time it should be better than before, at least physically.”

“I am a complete outsider in this familiar and unfamiliar city. I have no relatives, no friends, no social contacts. Not to mention nobles, even commoners are unwilling to make friends with people like me.”

“I don’t fit in with this place. Of course, I don’t have the time.”

“Originally, I thought that I would continue like this …”

“Sometimes, I think of myself as a lone ranger, wielding my sword and traveling on the Heaven’s End.”

“However, I feel lonely now.”

“It’s like this. In the library I often go to, there is a beautiful female librarian. She wears a student union uniform, big glasses, long braids, has a bookish aura, speaks softly, smiles sweetly and feels very comfortable. Every time I pass by, I peek at her and feel very happy.”

“Unfortunately, just a few days ago, she suddenly had a boyfriend. The two of them sat opposite me, making me feel both sad and envious.”

“To be honest, I also want to walk in a quiet garden with such a beautiful girl, whispering and envying others.”

“But I understand that all of this has nothing to do with me. I only have piles of books and dishes in my world.”

“Dear friend, do you ever envy the heroes in the story?”

“Here, I want to make an irresponsible request …”

“You’re not allowed to find a girlfriend until I get back. It’s settled.”

After reading the three letters, the entire hall fell silent.

After putting away the letter, Lu Dali gazed at the entire audience and shouted, “Brothers, sisters, seniors, the reason why I’m standing here today is not to compete for the CEO …”

“Because there is someone more suitable than me.”

‘”He has strong faith, great learning, and tenacity. When he came back, I deliberately made things difficult for him and alienated him. I just wanted to see if his initial heart has changed? Is he qualified to lead us …”

“Lu Dali, what the hell are you doing!” “Dali, it’s better for you to lead us! We only trust you!” “Yes, we only trust you!” Before Lu Dali could finish his words, there was an uproar.

“Although he is still a bit immature, I believe him …”

“Other than you, we don’t believe anyone else!” “It’s useless to say anything. We don’t believe him!”

“If you support me, please support him. If you trust me, please trust him.” Lu Dali said sincerely.

“Impossible!” “We will never accept it!” “His heart has already been polluted. He only thinks about money and selling factories!” A few youths rushed to the front of the stage and shouted.

“If even such a person can’t lead us, no one can. I beg you, trust him!” Lu Dali shouted loudly. His knees actually sank and he directly knelt down!

At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. Everyone’s expressions froze.

Seeing the seven-foot-long man kneeling down, Qi Yun could no longer control his emotions. He rushed onto the stage and used all of his strength to pull up his good friend.

“Brother, a man has gold beneath his knees!” Qi Yun couldn’t help but burst into tears, “I’m not worth it.”

“Compared to what you’ve suffered, this is nothing much, let alone …” Lu Dali said, “I’m not helping you, but I’m doing it for our Spring and Autumn Heavy Industries, for our dreams.”

“Forge a sword for a hero!”
