After I was stunned at the door of the factory for a while, I walked into the factory and came to An Lan's side.
The police just finished asking and said to An Lan: "Okay, we have recorded the situation here, and we will investigate the fire scene. If you have any questions, please call us, and please keep your mobile phone open."
An Lan nodded and replied: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, comrade police."
After the police left, An Lan asked me: "Is Li Sheng's condition better?"
"No problem, how are you doing here?"
"The police said they wanted to investigate the scene to find the cause of the fire. The fire brigade's preliminary judgment was that the fire was caused by cigarette butts."
I was puzzled and said: "Smoking is clearly prohibited in the factory, so how could it be possible that cigarette butts caused the fire?"
"I don't know about this. The fire brigade made a preliminary judgment and did not give a final conclusion."
After An Lan finished speaking, he paused and then said to me suspiciously: "Chen Feng, I think this fire is man-made."
"Why do you think so?"
"It's so strange. Why was the place where the fire happened to be the new clothing warehouse, and it was also connected to the design room? Gulisa said there was no one there at the time. What does this mean?"
I thought for a moment and then answered: "Does it mean that the person who set the fire did not intend to cause casualties?"
"Yes, there is another important clue. I checked the surveillance and found that all the surveillance around the finished garment warehouse has failed. What does this mean?"
I was shocked: "Someone deliberately tampered with something?"
"Yes, and the monitoring had already failed before the fire broke out."
If you say this, then this fire is by no means accidental, but inevitable!
Someone set the fire deliberately!
But who is it?
Next, we are waiting for news from the police. The person who set the fire must be caught and brought to justice to relieve the hatred in my heart.
Fortunately, the fire did not cause much damage. Except for Li Sheng who suffered some burns, there were no casualties. This is the greatest luck.
It's just a pity that the finished clothes were burned. They were the first batch of new products after the production line was changed.
Looking at the pile of ruins in front of me, I suddenly didn't know what to say. I felt that human beings are so powerless in the face of disasters.
Next, after An Lan and I completed some aftermath work on the fire accident, we hired relevant loss assessment personnel to make a comprehensive statistics on the losses caused by the fire.
After completing these tasks, it was already evening and very dark.
An Lan and I went to the hospital again to see Li Sheng. His condition was much better than when I sent him to the hospital, and the burns on his body had been treated and bandaged.
Gulisa was still talking to him in the ward. When An Lan and I arrived, Gulisa quickly asked us: "Director Chen, Mr. An, how is the situation in the factory?"
"It's okay. Let's rebuild the warehouse after the damage is determined."
Gulisa sighed and said: "I don't know what happened, why did the fire suddenly break out? I have to send people to inspect the fire protection facilities every week."
"I don't blame you for this, it's man-made." An Lan said.
"What?" Gulisa exclaimed, "Man-made? Who did it?"
"It's not clear yet, we have to wait for the police to investigate, but I'm sure it's man-made."
Gulisa frowned and said, "It's not someone from our factory, is it?"
An Lan then asked Gulisa: "Do you know something?"
Gulisa shook her head and said: "I also suspect that no one from the outside has been to the factory in the past few days. If it is man-made, it is probably done by employees in the factory."
I said, "Let's not think about it so much. Let's wait for the police to investigate the truth."
With that said, I asked Li Sheng on the hospital bed: "Li Sheng, how do you feel now? Do you still hurt?"
He shook his head and said: "It's much better, Director Chen. Is everything in the warehouse in the factory burned down?"
I nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "They were all burned down, not a cent is left."
When Gulisa heard this, she immediately sighed heavily and said: "What a pity! We have so many new products in there, as well as equipment and the design room. What kind of worry does the person who set the fire in the design room have?"
Li Sheng took the words and said: "It's okay, don't worry, I brought the blueprints. I will just re-produce them after I recover from the injury. As long as the blueprints are still there, it's not a big deal."
Gu Lisa glanced at Li Sheng and said angrily: "You really don't want your life. At that time, there was such a big fire and you still rushed in. I couldn't even hold you back. You didn't consider the consequences."
?"
Li Sheng smiled and said: "These drawings are the consequences. If the drawings are burned, the loss will be immeasurable."
"Drawings, drawings! What's more important, the drawings or your life?" Gulisa looked really angry.
"For me, the drawings are important, but my life is worth it."
Gu Lisa rolled her eyes at Li Sheng again and said, "You are really weird. If the drawing is gone, you can redraw it. If you lose your life, can you start over again?"
"For me, drawings are my life." Li Sheng is still so stubborn.
I have told him this before, and he answered me in the same way. He regards these drawings as more important than his life.
Gulisa couldn't defeat him any more, so she turned to me and said, "Dr. Chen, look, who is this person? He is simply a lunatic."
I sneered and said, "Lisa, haven't you heard a saying: geniuses are all lunatics."
Gulisa glanced at Li Sheng again and said, "He is still a genius, but I think he is almost a fool."
After Li Sheng heard this, he said with a smile: "Okay, Director Gu, it's my fault for not obeying your orders today. After I recover from my injury, I can punish me however you want, okay?"
"This is what you said, just wait and see how I punish you!"
Li Sheng smiled again, suddenly looked at me, and said seriously: "Director Chen, can I have a few words with you alone?"
I was stunned, not understanding what Li Sheng meant, but An Lan and Gu Lisa took the initiative to avoid it.
After they walked out of the ward, I asked Li Sheng, "What's wrong?"
"Director Chen, it's a bit hard for me to talk about this, but I really have no choice."
"Tell me, what's the matter? Don't be so hesitant."
Li Sheng then said: "I want to borrow some money from you."
I was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "I thought it was a big deal. This is something unspeakable. I said before, just tell me if you have any difficulties."
"Director Chen," she suddenly called me seriously and then said, "I borrowed a bit too much."
"How much do you want?"
"one million."
One million is not a big sum for me now, and I can afford it, but why did he suddenly borrow so much money?
I suddenly asked in confusion: "Is there anything urgent you need?"
Li Sheng sighed and said, "One of my brothers has a child who has lymphatic leukemia and needs a lot of money for treatment. The hospital has said that at least 800,000 yuan should be prepared."
I took a breath and said, "So you lent it to your brother?"
Li Sheng nodded heavily and said to me hurriedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I will return it to you as soon as possible. After I recover from my injury, I will design the entire series. I can guarantee you that sales will not be low."
After saying that, he added: "If you really don't trust me, we can sign a long-term contract, and my salary will be used to offset it, and I can also write you an IOU."
I raised my hand to interrupt him and said, "You don't have to say anything. Just for your righteousness, I will lend you this million."
