Chapter 73: Arson



Zhang Wenjun's expression changed in an instant. He ignored Johnnie To and pulled Johnnie To and Sister Liu next to him to direct the people in the store to clean up the mess.

"This kid is still like this." After saying this, Du Qisheng took the group away.

Only then did everyone in the shop feel relieved and started to clean up the shop with several other bosses.

Fortunately, the things they smashed were all wooden hangers, so this wasn't a big problem. They could just find someone to make some more. The clothes were a bit dirty, and cleaning them would probably affect sales. They could just be used for promotions as Chu Yao had mentioned before.

After the shops were cleaned up, several bosses finally sat down. Sister Liu was a little dazed. She wondered what kind of person Chu Yao had brought her with her.

Sister Liu looked at the two partners, hesitant to speak.

"Sister Liu, we know what you want to say. This has nothing to do with the shop we founded. We just need to run our shop well. We can discuss other matters with Chu Yao when she arrives, so we don't have to say it twice."

"That's fine, let's wait until Chu Yao comes."

"By the way, Sister Liu, why didn't I see Mrs. Chen in the store today?"

"Oh, it's like this. Sister Chen's child is sick today, so she asked for a day off and said she would come back tomorrow."

"Okay, the person Chu Yao introduced is quite reliable. Let's talk about what happened today. We also felt that it was enviable before, but we didn't expect them to be so shameless as to directly hire people to cause trouble."

"Luckily, Brother Du is here today, but he can only help temporarily, not for long. Besides, we can't always rely on Brother Du. It would be best if we could come up with a good solution to solve the problem once and for all."

"Yes, although we have intimidated the people nearby today, this is only limited to this town. If we expand to other places in the future, these things will inevitably happen again.

"Also, we shouldn't make any other clothes lately. Just make the two we started with. And don't make too many. With something like this happening, the people in town should have heard about it a long time ago," Du Qichen said gravely.

"Achen, I disagree with this. We still have to open for business and keep the clothing styles the same. This will send them a signal that we haven't been defeated by today's events and that we still have people behind us. If that's the case, as long as the people behind us don't completely unite, we still have a chance."

"Achen, I agree with Wenjun. We can't just give in like that. But we need to be more careful about the production process. I'm afraid our tailors will be tempted by other people's high profits."

"It doesn't matter. Chu Yao said that the clothing styles designed this year can be sold within this year, so I'm not too worried. But we still have to be prepared for any eventuality."

After they reached a consensus, they went home to rest.

But Sister Liu went home, and Johnnie To and Zhang Wenjun were afraid that others might think something, so they stayed inside the store.

Sure enough, the fire broke out at around four or five in the morning. Sister Liu was still worried at night and didn't dare to sleep soundly. She would get up as soon as she heard any noise.

The fire was just lit, or it didn't look very big, but Sister Liu forgot that she was at the front door of the tailor shop and there was also a fire at the back door.

"Help, there's a fire, there's a fire." Sister Liu shouted while knocking on the door hard, but there was no movement from Johnnie To and Zhang Wenjun inside.

Du Qichen in the room woke up when he smelled a burning smell. Zhang Wenjun also woke up in a daze and heard some noise outside.

"Wenjun, get out quickly! There's a fire. If the smoke gets in soon, neither of us will survive."

The two of them stopped talking and ran outside. When they reached the yard, they heard Sister Liu's voice and someone knocking on the door.

The wind was favorable tonight, and the fire grew bigger in a short while.

The three of them reunited successfully, and the people on the street also stood up. Some were carrying buckets, some were shoveling soil, trying to see if they could put out the fire.

If the price doesn't go down, I'm afraid this street will be gone.

The fire burned for half an hour and had spread to the next yard. Fortunately, the weather was very good at this time, and a heavy rain put out the fire within the area.

At this time, everyone was exhausted and the rain was pouring down, but no one was in a hurry to leave. They wanted to make sure that there was not a single spark of fire at the scene.

"Achen, Wenjun, are you all right? Who is this person and why is he so vicious? Don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation."

"Brother, now that you're here, let's put aside the other things and see if there are any casualties."

"Boss Du, no, we were all up when Sister Liu called out. We weren't in the house. Is there anyone staying in your shop tonight? If not, then there are no casualties."

"Thank you, uncle. I feel relieved after having my brother check it out. I really appreciate everyone tonight."

"Report, Director Du, we have checked the scene and found no casualties, nor any trace of the arsonist."

Johnnie To nodded, his expression a little scary.

Johnnie To tried to lighten the mood and said to the people who helped, "Once our shop is rebuilt, we'll definitely give all the uncles and aunts who helped us out here a free set of clothes. Thank you so much."

"Don't be polite, we are all neighbors, we should take care of each other."

"Yes, Boss Du, you don't have to be so polite. Since your shop was renovated, our business has also improved a lot. How can we accept your kindness again?"
