"Zuo Han, Boss Liu, don't overstep your bounds."

Looking at the two of them, Qin Yun said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, Qin Yun, this is commercial competition; everyone has their own means," Zuo Han replied with a smile.

After speaking, he left directly, and the landlord, Liu Quanxi, also exited the store. Qin Yun watched coldly; it was clear the two were going to discuss something.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, the landlord Liu Quanxi came back in.

"Qin Yun, I'm willing to refund the rent," Liu Quanxi said directly.

Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned and said, "Boss Liu, I can directly get 550,000 if I sublease to Manager Jin, do you think I'll choose rent?"

"Moreover, we previously signed a corresponding sublease agreement. Who I sign another contract with, or how much I sublet it for, is no business of yours."

Earlier, Celestial Fortune had sued Liu Quanxi. During this time, Qin Yun was actually preparing, especially regarding subleasing, and specified that if someone is willing to take over the shop, whatever the negotiations are like, the landlord couldn't object again. This was to prevent the landlord from reneging again.

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Liu Quanxi's expression turned unpleasant.

The previous agreement indeed had this provision.

"Qin Yun, we signed an agreement. You can sublease to Manager Jin, but you need to know that this shop is mine. I'm the primary landlord. If I continue to interfere, your contract might not even go through."

Liu Quanxi said in a deep voice, "It might interfere for some time, and Manager Jin might reconsider signing, which is very possible."

Hearing this, Qin Yun's face turned gloomy immediately. "Are you threatening me?"

Liu Quanxi shook his head and said, "I'm stating a fact."

At this moment, Qin Yun's expression was uncertain. It was unclear what he was thinking, seemingly apprehensive about the possibility Liu Quanxi mentioned.

After a while, he said, "If you refund the rent, how much will you refund?"

Hearing Qin Yun's words, Liu Quanxi was overjoyed and quickly said, "Refund according to the time remaining on the contract."

As his words fell, Qin Yun sneered and said, "Boss Liu, you're thinking too well, aren't you? All the benefits are on your side? Even if your interference causes a slight impact on Manager Jin, it's minimal, and there's a high probability I can still sign the contract with him, allowing me to get 550,000. There are still ten months left on our contract; you can only refund me a little over 300,000. I'll lose over 100,000 right away. Do you think I can't do the math?"

Liu Quanxi frowned and said, "Then how much do you want?"

He knew his threat didn't greatly affect Qin Yun, but Qin Yun also didn't want to gamble on a small probability, since everyone was in this for the money.

His words ended, and Qin Yun extended five fingers, saying, "500,000, not a penny less! With that, I can terminate the contract with you."

"Qin Yun, are you crazy? The yearly rent you paid for the shop before was just 450,000, and now you want 500,000?"

Hearing this, Liu Quanxi seemed to think Qin Yun had forgotten the figure in the previous contract and angrily retorted.

"I'll give you at most eleven months of rent."

Qin Yun wanted him to refund the full rent, even adding a bit more.

"Then let's not discuss it," Qin Yun shook his head, disinterested in wasting words with him, turned around, and left.

Seeing that Qin Yun wasn't interested in talking, Liu Quanxi's expression fluctuated.

In fact, even if he gave 500,000, he could still earn 50,000.

But if Qin Yun and Manager Jin signed the contract, he wouldn't get any benefit. It would also be hard to explain to Zuo Han.

Seeing Qin Yun determinedly walking out of the door, Liu Quanxi gritted his teeth and finally said, "Fine, 500,000 it is!"

Upon seeing this, a hint of a smile seemed to appear at the corner of Qin Yun's mouth.

...

"Refund a year's rent?"

Inside Cold Dew Clothing Store, upon hearing Liu Quanxi's words, Zuo Han's expression clearly soured.

He had just called back to thoroughly inquire about Baiyu Group's information. This group indeed existed, and there was indeed a person named Jin Yan.

"What kind of luck does this Qin Yun have?"

The nine previously closed Celestial Fortune Clothing stores had suddenly caught the eye of Baiyu Group, which was preparing to venture into the clothing industry, and planned to use them as a foundation to quickly boost their fame.

So-called fame actually requires a lot of money to build.

Baiyu Group had no clothing foundation in Jinling, so reaching well-known status was indeed challenging. Imagine the Junqing Clothing Store opened by Feng Tianjun.

Junqing Clothing Store held events, offered lottery draws with phones, computers, and even two cars as prizes, and had mid-month and end-month points lottery drawings, all for Junqing's fame, to gain everyone's recognition.

For example, if Cold Dew were to venture into the appliance industry and plan to open a few appliance stores in Jinling, no one might know what Cold Dew Appliances is and might not even buy despite seeing it.

Initially, they would have to start from scratch, and to accelerate the pace of development, they would have to spend money furiously to attract consumers.

Slowly, once everyone recognized them, their path would open up.

And now, Baiyu Group, in entering the clothing industry for the first time, needed to start from the initial stage, just like Junqing Clothing Store.

But by leveraging the now-closed Celestial Fortune stores, which were still attracting much attention, Baiyu Clothing could quickly appear in front of everyone with just a little maneuvering!

This was undoubtedly an ingenious marketing strategy, saving an unknown amount of time and capital.

Even if landlord Liu Quanxi interfered, the contract between Qin Yun and Jin Yan would likely still be signed; he couldn't stop it.

Since it couldn't be stopped, naturally, he wouldn't let Qin Yun get the maximum benefit.

After pondering slightly, Zuo Han looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Call the landlords of the other eight Celestial Fortune stores and have them interfere in the matter between Qin Yun and Jin Yan, and refund the rent."

It was obvious that the rent Qin Yun negotiated with Jin Yan for the other eight stores was also beyond the original rent.

"Yes," the middle-aged man nodded quickly.

...

Soon several hours passed, and at this time, the landlords of all nine Celestial Fortune stores arrived, including Lin Daqiang and others who repeatedly went back on their word.

"Boss Qin, we're willing to refund the rent."

"Don't make it difficult for us; we've been a bit unethical, but you're not at a loss now."

The few landlords all looked at Qin Yun, speaking in unison.

"Making it difficult for you?"

Hearing their words, Qin Yun seemed to laugh incredulously.

"I can't be bothered to argue with you. If you want to refund the rent, do it quickly. I have no interest in seeing you again."

"Qin Yun, then make a call to Manager Jin," Liu Quanxi, Lin Daqiang, and others said upon seeing him agree.

Qin Yun nodded, made a call, and immediately put it on speakerphone.

"Manager Jin, I've resolved the shop matter with the landlords here. You can directly sign the contract with them when you come, and the rent will still be what we discussed earlier," Qin Yun said directly.

"Okay."

The voice of Manager Jin came through the phone, "I just want the shops; I don't care who signs the contract with me. Just give them my phone number, and I'll come over shortly."

Hearing Jin Yan's words, Liu Quanxi and the others' faces were filled with joy.
