A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 171

Amy said in a low voice after hesitating for a long time.

"Okay... Say it." I clenched my fists and tried my best to restrain my fear and uneasiness.

"It happened at three o'clock in the morning. There was a fire accident in the workshop. Although it was put out by the staffs later, but we got substantial damages. The clothes we made these days were all burned."

Boom!

Amy's words made me freeze as if I had been struck by lightning.

"Ashley, are you alright?" Seeing that my face was so pale, Amy supported my body worriedly and asked.

I looked at Amy weakly. After a long time, I finally came to sense and said in a hoarse voice.

"How much... was burnt?"

There were only two months left before delivering the first batch of goods. There were 10,000 sets in total. This was the first batch of goods.

"Were these finished clothes we've made all burnt?"

"Yes..." Amy glanced at me with guilt in her eyes, but unfortunately, I didn't see it.

I was stimulated by Amy's words. My knees, which were originally aching and weak, became weaker at the moment.

I fell to the ground, and my whole body was trembling.

They were all burned...

"Boss Mu." The director looked at me and held me up with some worry.

I pushed his hands away and staggered into the workshop.

There were staffs inside who were cleaning up. I saw the burnt machine and burnt clothes.

After seeing me, they saluted to me with very sad faces.

"I'm sorry, we... didn't take care of the workshop."

Mrs. Liu, who had worked in my workshop for the longest time, said with some guilt.

She had been working very carefully, so I liked her very much and kept her work here. She was the oldest in this workshop.

"What's the reason for the fire." I took a deep breath. In the face of such a great blow, I could only force myself to calm down.

"I don't know the reason yet. I heard from the skilled workers that the machine suddenly caught fire because of the high voltage." She hesitated for a moment and explained to me.

"High voltage? The voltage in our workshop is under normal resistance. Every time after work, all the electric power would be turned off. How could there be a fire? Moreover, we have a new electric line, and I ask the electric worker to come and have a check Looking at her, I analyzed with a cold face.

After hearing what I said, she seemed to be a little hesitant. She just shook her head and said, "I don't know. They said that it was likely that the machine was on fire and caused the fire accident this time."

I walked to those burnt machines and squatted down to have a check, but I didn't find any manmade possibility. Just as I was about to leave, there was a luminous thing in the machine. I was a little confused and picked it up, only to find that it was a cigarette butt.

Perhaps it was hidden in the deepest part of the machine and was not completely burned, I could see that it was a cigarette butt.

How could there be a cigarette butt here?

Although there were a lot of male employees in our workshop, I had already ordered repeatedly that they were not allowed to smoke in the workshop.

Because there were so many machines. If there was a fire, it would be troublesome.

So I set up a smoking area. When taking a rest, those who wanted to smoke could smoke in the smoking area.

"Ashley, what's wrong with you? Did you find anything?"

I didn't know when Amy came to me. She said to me.

I came to sense and hid the cigarette butt. I got up and said casually, "No, let's go out first." I didn't know why I hid the fact that I found a cigarette butt from Amy. In principle, Amy was my best friend. Since I took over the Xi's Group, she had been supporting me by my side. We suffered a lot together.

However... I actually hid it from Amy. To be honest, I felt sad in my heart. There seemed to be something that could be figured out soon. But I could only endure this feeling.

I asked the staffs to clean up the workshop as soon as possible. Even if something bad had happened, we needed to continued to work. As for the burnt machines, I could only buy some new ones.

It cost hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy a machine, and there were three machines that were burnt. But I had no choice. The only thing I could do was to finish Mr. Ryan's order as soon as possible.

However, there were only two months left. From designing and choosing the materials to producing, I was afraid that the time would not be enough...

"Ashley, what should we do?" After returning to my house, I sat weakly on the sofa. Amy put the water in front of me and asked me with some concern.

I glanced at her and said tiredly, "We can only play it by ear."

"Why don't we sell our design drafts to other companies and ask them to produce clothes for us? We just need to charge some design fees. We can deliver the clothes to Mr. Ryan after they were made." Amy looked at me and asked hesitantly.

Her idea could be thought as a way. However, honesty was the most important in business. If I sold my design drafts to other companies and asked them to make clothes for me, then I bought those clothes and delivered them to Mr. Ryan, I could make money twice. Because I could charge that company for design fees and finish Mr. Ryan's order.

However, I was not sure whether the company I chose would be cautious to choose the materials. Because some businessmen would use inferior materials and turn out substandard goods for making more money. Although my design drafts were good, if the quality was not good enough, it was useless.
