During this second winter vacation in college, Chen Fan still couldn't go home with Su Ru on the first day of the new year.

Firstly, Su Ruochu's mother would definitely pick us up at the station, and secondly, Chen Fan had a lot of things to do here and couldn't leave for the time being.

The two of them waited at the station for a long time before Chen Fan reluctantly watched Su Ruochu get on the bus.

Returning to Yunhai alone, Chen Fan began to prepare for the New Year.

A year later, his business reached a new level.

The two Internet cafes are now completely on track.

Since Luo Wenjie and Zhou Honghai left to concentrate on running the studio, Chen Fan hired two managers and rarely went to the Internet cafe when he had nothing to do.

Because winter vacation is the time when games make the most money, Luo Wenjie discussed with Zhou Honghai and decided not to go back this year and spend the New Year in the studio.

On the 20th day of the lunar month, the three met, divided the last sum of money, and then had a meal.

Later, Chen Fan went to the Xunzhang Club.

All the club's projects are now fully launched. In one year, except for the millions spent on acquisitions, the money earned has basically paid back the money spent on opening the club.

However, Chen Fan was a little surprised that the New Year was coming soon, and the notice about the renovation of Xicheng had not come yet.

I don't know if the above action was postponed or Chen Fan remembered the time wrong.

A meeting was held for all management in the conference room, and Dingdian was asked to take out a list of New Year benefits.

Everyone in the club, including ordinary employees like the front desk, has a year-end bonus, and the amount is not small.

In those days, the concept of year-end bonuses did not exist in private enterprises.

Chen Fan's actions naturally won the praise of all employees.

Normally, everyone's salary is much higher than the average salary in Yunhai. With such a generous boss, everyone will naturally be more supportive of the club and cherish their jobs more.

As for Feifan Technology, Chen Fan did not go there. He just met with Liang Shichu and had a chat to discuss how much the year-end bonus would be.

After finishing all this, it was almost the 26th of Ramadan.

Chen Fan packed his luggage in the apartment and prepared to go home.

However, that is what happened. That morning, something happened in the Internet cafe that Chen Fan was most at ease with.

There is a problem with the Starry Sky Internet Cafe.

When Chen Fan rushed to the scene from school, the Internet cafe had already been cleared of customers.

There was a large seal on the door, and a fire truck was parked nearby, preparing to leave after a rescue operation.

Seeing Chen Fan appear, the Internet cafe manager, who had just taken the job for less than a month, ran over with a nervous look on his face.

Chen Fan suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice what happened.

The manager explained carefully: "It caught fire in the men's restroom. We initially determined that someone was smoking inside and threw the unextinguished cigarette butt into the trash can."

"Fortunately, when the staff discovered it, they quickly dismissed all the customers. Otherwise, the situation would be disastrous."

Chen Fan walked into the store and took a look around.

At this moment the whole hall was in a mess, with traces of firefighting everywhere and pools of sewage on the surface.

Some of the computers in the hall were also affected and were all soaked.

As for the bathroom, it had already been burned black.

But these are nothing. What really scared Chen Fan was that fortunately he didn't get burned. Otherwise... just like the manager said just now, the consequences would be unimaginable.

It can be said that the firefighting work that Chen Fan has always emphasized has played a role.

When the fire in the restroom was set on fire, the employees used an extinguisher to put it out in advance, otherwise when the fire truck came, it would not have been able to burn only a small part of the fire.

In the lobby, in front of all the employees, Chen Fan did not tolerate it this time. He lost his temper and scolded the manager.

The manager looked aggrieved. He really couldn't argue with the person about this matter. After all, he couldn't just follow others to the toilet.

After scolding everyone, Chen Fan began to ask who the first two employees he rescued were.

Two people stood up.

Chen Fan directly told the manager to give these two employees a 5,000 yuan award as outstanding employees.

After comforting the employees, Chen Fan asked whether the culprit had been found.

The manager explained nervously that he had been in a hurry to rescue the patient and had no time to watch the video.

"Then go check it out right now. I'll wait for the results here."

The manager raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly took the two employees to the control room.

Half an hour later, the results came out.

From the surveillance video, we can see that in the half hour before the incident, a total of six people entered the restroom.

"Based on the speed at which they got up, the three people in front are the most likely."

"But all six of them are suspects. Especially this one."

Chen Fan reached out and tapped the man in the gray down jacket on the screen.

When this guy went into the bathroom, he actually put on the hood of his down jacket and lowered his head furtively, as if he was afraid of being seen by others.

Soon, some employees discovered new clues.

The man in the grey down jacket didn't seem to be a customer here at all.

Because after he entered the store, he didn't pay or go online, and went straight into the restroom.

Now, things are clear.

"Someone is doing this with malicious intent."

The manager was shocked.

This is much more serious than an accidental loss.

"Boss, what do we do now?"

Chen Fan looked grim, "Just do what you have to do. Call the police right away and let them investigate."

"Watch it carefully and hand it over to the police later."

Chen Fan glanced at the hall.

This Internet cafe probably won't be able to open during the Chinese New Year, and such a serious incident has happened that the fire department has issued a ticket.

Rectification will have to be done after the Chinese New Year, and the business can only reopen after passing the fire inspection.

This round trip will take at least one or two months.

Including renovation and turnover, the loss is probably hundreds of thousands.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

In this case, Chen Fan simply gave all employees a holiday and let everyone go back home to celebrate the New Year.

Before leaving, Chen Fan asked for an extra copy of the surveillance video.

After this happened, I can't go home today.

Before going out, Chen Fan called Feng Pojun.

Half an hour later, Chen Fan met Feng Pojun in the school cafeteria.

After understanding what happened, Feng Pojun spoke directly.

"The boss suspected that someone deliberately set it up."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, "I can't tell for now, but I can't rule out this possibility."

"Boss, have you offended anyone recently?"

Chen Fan almost immediately thought of Zhao Longqi.

The grudge between this guy and himself is almost irreconcilable, and he has a background.

He is definitely the most suspicious.

Chen Fan thought about it and asked directly: "If you find this person, will you do it?"

Feng Pojun groaned and said, "The other party concealed it very well. We only saw it from the nearby surveillance cameras, but finding people is not my area of ​​expertise..."

Chen Fan suddenly thought of something.

"Do you know a private investigator?"

Feng Pojun grinned, "I actually know one."

"This guy used to be a comrade of mine. After he retired, he started his own private detective agency."

"If he were to do it, maybe the time would be greatly shortened."

Chen Fan asked quickly: "Should we let him come over?"

"Okay, I'll give him a call and ask."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth.

"The sooner the better."

"I want to know what the real intention is or whether someone did it on purpose."

Feng Pojun took out his cell phone.

"I'm calling him now."
