Chapter 295
The auditorium was dark, with only a few lights on.
After the movie started, the auditorium became much quieter, with only occasional whispers and the sound of eating being heard.
Ye Fuyue, Cai Chunxing and others were watching with great interest. While eating, they chatted about the plot from time to time.
Halfway through the first movie, Ye Fuyue suddenly felt the urge to urinate.
She greeted Cai Chunxing and the others. None of them wanted to go to the bathroom, and they all wanted to wait until the movie was over.
But Ye Fuyue couldn't hold it in any longer, so she went first.
She went to the restroom near the auditorium. To her surprise, the women's restroom was full, with several people standing outside waiting.
Ye Fuyue could only go to the toilet at the factory which was farther away.
There was no one outside the women's restroom, but after Ye Fuyue went in, she was kicked out by Kaoru. It was really smelly, and it was almost full and hadn't been cleaned yet.
Ye Fuyue could only hold back her urge to urinate and go find another toilet.
Fortunately, she walked around the factory and finally found a women's restroom that was functioning normally and unoccupied.
After coming out of the toilet, Ye Fuyue breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, she discovered a problem.
Where is she? How do I get back to the auditorium?
In recent months, Xiangyang Furniture Factory has expanded a lot. Every time Ye Fuyue came to Xiangyang Furniture Factory, she would only go to Director Cai and the Publicity Department at most. She was not familiar with other parts of Xiangyang Furniture Factory.
Now, it was dark again, and there were few street lights in the Xiangyang Furniture Factory. Many places were dark, and Ye Fuyue could only search the factory like a blind man groping in the dark.
In the silent snowy night, Ye Fuyue could only hear her footsteps and the faint sound of a movie playing in the distance.
As Ye Fuyue walked forward following the sound of a movie, she suddenly smelled a strange smell.
She sniffed and wondered: Where does the smell of gasoline come from?
She followed the smell of gasoline to a factory building and vaguely saw a black mass in the snow.
Ye Fuyue bent down and took a closer look. At the foot of the factory wall, there was a black thing along the wall. That black thing was obviously gasoline.
Ye Fuyue was stunned. In the few seconds she was stunned, she heard footsteps.
When she was about to follow the footsteps to see what was going on, she forgot that feet make sounds when they step on the snow.
Because of this sound, the footsteps she heard stopped abruptly - the other party had discovered someone.
Ye Fuyue decided to go all out and ran towards the sound.
When she ran past a corner of the factory, she saw a figure quickly disappearing into the darkness, and the barrel of gasoline was thrown into the snow.
Ye Fuyue's mind raced. She picked up the bucket from the ground, found a broken piece of wood, and ran towards the auditorium, knocking on it. "Oh no! Someone's going to burn down the factory! Oh no! Someone's going to burn down the factory!"
But today, everyone in the factory was either in the auditorium or not there, so she didn't run into anyone along the way.
It was not until she was almost at the auditorium that she ran into a few people.
Ye Fuyue ran into the auditorium knocking and shouting, attracting the attention of many people.
"Director Chen, where are you? Oh no, someone wants to burn down the factory!" There were too many people in the auditorium, and Ye Fuyue couldn't find Director Chen, so she could only shout at the top of her lungs.
"What did you say?" Director Chen ran over quickly from the corner of the auditorium.
Ye Fuyue told Director Chen everything that had just happened: "This bucket is what the man left behind when he escaped. Director Chen, please send someone to check it out. If it was really set on fire, it will catch fire soon."
As soon as Ye Fuyue finished speaking, she heard someone exclaim:
"Why is it so bright over there? Is there a fire?"
"Ah—there's a real fire!"
Director Chen ran out of the auditorium and saw the increasingly bright flames and thick smoke. He shouted anxiously, "Put out the fire—put out the fire quickly—where's the security department? Hurry and help put out the fire!"
Ye Fuyue didn't expect that the fire would still start.
She was banging on the barrel while running towards the auditorium, hoping to attract more attention and scare the arsonist away from setting the fire. She never expected that the arsonist was a bold one, and in just a short time, the fire started.
No one cared about watching the movie anymore and joined in putting out the fire. Ye Fuyue was among them.
The fire broke out in a factory building where furniture for foreign orders that were about to be delivered was stored.
Fortunately, the fire was discovered in time and put out quickly. The loss was not serious and only a small amount of furniture was affected.
Director Chen looked at the burnt furniture with an icy expression. "Investigate! Investigate thoroughly! Who is trying to burn down our factory?"
This matter is not something that the Security Department can handle. We must report it to the police and ask them to intervene.
Director Chen sent someone to report the incident to the police while instructing the security department to investigate the matter thoroughly. After explaining everything, Director Chen said to Ye Fuyue, who had first noticed something was wrong, "Comrade Ye, did you see the man's face clearly?"
Ye Fuyue shook her head. "It was too dark, and I couldn't see his face clearly. I only know that he was quite thin, neither tall nor short, and looked like a gay man. But I can't rule out the possibility that he was a lesbian pretending to be gay."
Factory Director Chen nodded gravely, his expression softening as he spoke. "Comrade Ye, thanks to your timely discovery, otherwise all the furniture in this factory would have been destroyed. While the destruction of the furniture is a big deal, the more important thing is that we have an agreement with our overseas client to ship this batch of furniture to them next Tuesday. If the furniture isn't delivered on time, it will not only damage our factory's reputation, but also affect future cooperation."
Ye Fuyue nodded to show her understanding.
The arsonist was truly vicious. He chose the day before the furniture was to be delivered, intending to burn all the furniture.
"After this matter is over, I will thank you on behalf of the factory." Director Chen said.
Ye Fuyue waved her hand and was about to speak when a neutral voice sounded.
"Comrade Ye is so lucky! Every time something happens in the factory, Comrade Ye is always the first to discover it or rush out, making great contributions to the factory. Those who don't know him would think that Comrade Ye is trying to show off and is playing the thief crying thief."
The speaker was a man in his forties, Han Yi, the director of the sales department.
Ye Fuyue glanced at Han Yi and said calmly, "My contributions at the Bamboo Fair were significant enough. I even turned down the position Director Chen offered me. Why should I show off? To be a bit arrogant, I'm even more popular than you, Director Han, in the factory. Director Han's words suddenly made me wonder if Director Han was dissatisfied with me and deliberately staged this accident to frame me."
