Chapter 345 What else can you lie to me about?
"Boss..." Walter looked at Xiao Peng as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Don't give me that!"
"You know what I'm going to say?" Walter was stunned.
Xiao Peng said, "You see, this child is honest, obedient, and pitiful. You want to help them, but you also know that in their current living conditions, giving them too little money will be useless, and giving them too much will not only cost you money, but you might even harm them. So you want to give them a way out. Although you have your own security company, your so-called 'security company' is just a few people put together, and you can't afford to hire anyone. Besides, you don't have the qualifications to hire outside, so you set your sights on me."
Walter was dumbfounded and murmured after hearing this.
Xiao Peng pointed at his nose and said, "What do I do? A damned capitalist! Do you think I'm supporting idlers? Our work takes us everywhere, and there are so many miserable places! Did you know that Huaxia Marine Engineering Company and Greece cooperated to search for a sunken ship in the Gulf of Sirte? As a result, the Mediterranean Support One was surrounded by refugee boats! Hundreds of Libyan refugees desperately jumped into the sea to get on the Mediterranean Support One. If the accompanying Greek Navy hadn't forcibly driven it away, the Mediterranean Support One would have become a refugee ship! What do you think we should do if we face such a situation in the future?"
“But…” Walter said: “Boss, are we just going to ignore it? Look at this child, how can we bear to ignore him?”
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, “Walter, do you really want to help her?”
Walter nodded: “Boss, my child is this age too, I really can’t bear to see this child become like this.”
The weather is getting hot now, but the child is still wearing a thick down jacket, which is so dirty.
"And boss, look at that woman, she's okay. She tried her best to protect those thermoses just now, which shows that she is a sensible and kind person." Walter added fuel to the fire.
Xiao Peng pointed at the woman who was feeding the child and said, "Come on, tell me, what can she do on the boat? You can't communicate clearly with her because of the language barrier. Does she look like she can work? Bring them to France to make a living? What else can they do besides contribute to the French porn industry? If that happens, can the child grow up mentally healthy? And how old can she be? Can she handle being on the boat?"
His complaint wasn't without reason. The mother wasn't actually that old, only in her early twenties. Such young mothers were common in Ukraine, where many people get married and have children at the age of sixteen. However, this was more common in rural areas, while marriages in urban areas were generally later.
Even though she's a mother, she hasn't gained weight. Her thighs aren't even as thick as Xiao Peng's arms. She looks like someone who can't lift anything, and asking her to work on a boat? Isn't that a joke?
Walter said: “But boss, it’s not okay for this child to continue growing like this!”
Xiao Peng scratched his head. "Why are you so obsessed with them? Are you attracted to the mother of their child and planning to marry another? 'When you have enough food and clothing, you think about XX.'"
Walter was silent for a moment and said, "Boss, you know why I retired from the army. At that time, a child of your age died in front of me. That has always been a psychological shadow of mine."
Xiao Peng fell silent after hearing this. Massacring civilians is not something a human being would do!
Walter said: "How about this, boss, you help me handle the external recruitment procedures and hire her. They are considered employees of my company, and I will pay their wages!"
Xiao Peng frowned: "Brother, how long can you hire her?"
Walter grinned: “Boss, that depends on how long you have employed us.”
Xiao Peng was silent for a moment after hearing this: "It's no use discussing this with me. You haven't even asked for my opinion yet!"
Walter said: "We don't have a translator with us. Can you ask your compatriots to translate for me?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed, told Ma Chao about it, and asked Ma Chao to help translate.
Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this: "Brother, aren't you a crew member? How can you be hired as an outsider? Brother, you are not in that line of work, are you? Don't drag me down with this!"
Xiao Peng was also helpless after hearing this: "Ma Chao, if I were to do that kind of work, I would also look for a young and beautiful woman. Why would I look for a mother of a child?"
Ma Chao said, "Isn't it easier to control a woman who has had a child?"
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said, "I have a few dirty words that I don't know whether I should say or not."
The 'industry' they are talking about is of course the sex industry.
Nowadays, many people go to Eastern European countries in the name of "modeling agency", "entertainment company" and "labor export" to bring women away to engage in the prostitution industry. The reputation of Eastern European women in Western Europe is not very good.
Countries like Belarus position women as "national strategic resources", which is a better situation, but this has also led to a large number of human traffickers pouring into Ukraine.
When Ma Chao heard that Xiao Peng was going to take the child's mother away from Ukraine, his first thought was that Xiao Peng was a human trafficker. Xiao Peng also sighed, thinking that there seemed to be quite a few Chinese people doing this kind of thing here, otherwise Ma Chao wouldn't be so suspicious of him...
"We are a formal ocean exploration company registered in France. We hired her to work on the ship, cleaning, washing clothes, helping in the kitchen, etc., and we have to go through formal employment channels." Xiao Peng said: "The key is that Walter feels that her children are too pitiful. I don't want to do this. Life at sea is hard and tiring, and they may not be able to endure it! Please ask her if she is willing."
Ma Chao shrugged and said, "Why wouldn't they want to? Look at them... there's only happiness you can't enjoy, but no suffering you can't endure. Let me ask for you!"
Things are just as Ma Chao said, how could they refuse?
Xiao Peng thought the woman would raise some questions, but she didn't even ask, simply nodding in agreement. In her own words, "I'm already like this, what else can you lie to me about?"
Xiao Peng felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Wasn't he dissatisfied with life in China when he left? But after leaving, he realized the truth of a saying online: There's no such thing as a peaceful life. It's just that some people are carrying heavy burdens and moving forward!
Xiao Peng was still lamenting how difficult life was, but Walter poked him: "Boss, we'd better get out of here!"
"Run away?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "Why run away?"
Walter pouted at the person behind him. Behind him were some elderly Ukrainians who came here to take shelter from the rain. Ma Chao had just translated in Russian for the child's mother, and these elderly people had heard their conversation. Now, as they looked at Xiao Peng, their eyes were glowing green.
"Damn! Walter, run!"
