Chapter 1982: Antarctic Penguin Mother (Twenty-Seven)
There were quite a few people present, dozens of them, some in suits, and some in mining workers' clothes.
Surrounded by the crowd was a middle-aged man in a suit with a big belly. Although he was big-bellied, he looked good, and was a gentleman with a simple and honest appearance. He had big earlobes and looked like a blessed person. He always had a smile on his face, giving people a feeling that he was easy to get close to.
To describe it in one sentence: He looked like a good person at first glance.
"Mr. Chen, do we still want to continue to mine this oil? Or should we stop it?" A middle-aged man in work clothes came over and said.
The man's name was Li Li. He had set up a team specializing in oil mining, and he was the person in charge.
This time, they were hired to mine oil in the Antarctic Ocean.
Li Li knew that private oil mining was illegal, but many people would not stop doing it just because it was illegal. On the contrary, as long as it could bring them enough benefits, they could lower their bottom line and principles again and again, and even turn themselves into a demon without emotions and only with benefits in their eyes.
Li Li knew that he shouldn't have formed this team. Of course, in order to make money, he pulled a group of brothers to form this team in a moment of excitement.
He regretted it after forming the team.
But after being hired several times, they earned a lot of money, so they were reluctant to disband the team.
This time, they were hired by Mr. Chen in front of them to mine oil here.
And Li Li also knew that Mr. Chen still didn't have a license to mine oil in this place, but he still let people come to mine.
Although Li Li was a little scared, he took money to do things, had the previous experience, and signed a contract, so he just bit the bullet and went on.
But he didn't expect that just a few days ago, oil would suddenly leak.
He knew the harm of oil leaks to the ocean, just looking at the dead fish floating on the sea now.
Li Li also knew that if the oil leaked again, mining here must be stopped, but...
Chen Huaimin glanced at Li Li, with a smile on his face, but no smile in his eyes: "Engineer Li, I don't understand why we have to stop. There is still so much oil. We have only been mining for a short time.
How can we stop?"
Li Li frowned: "But Mr. Chen, the oil leaked and many marine creatures nearby died. If we continue to mine, it will cause more deaths and the chain reaction will be even greater."
Chen Huaimin smiled. He looked at the fish floating on the sea leisurely and said: "So what? They died. What does it have to do with me? What will happen to the ocean in the future has nothing to do with me. I don't have to live in the sea. I just want to mine the oil here. I don't care about other things. Engineer Li, you just need to do it according to our contract. Don't do anything else. I know how hard Engineer Li works. Don't worry, I will pay you and your team for the processing."
Li Li looked at the indifference in Chen Huaimin's eyes, and a chill rose in his heart. It was difficult to associate the person in front of him with the gentle and friendly philanthropist he had seen on TV before.
Yes, Li Li did something illegal, but he couldn't bear to see the oil coming out of the seabed and polluting the ocean, and seeing a large number of marine life die.
He still wanted to persuade Chen Huaimin again: "Boss Chen, if we don't want the wages, can this project be stopped?"
