The landlords wore expressions full of delight.

Who wouldn't want more money? They previously got benefits from Zuo Han, and now they were getting benefits from Manager Jin.

Although they weren't concerned with face, benefiting from both sides didn't burden their conscience much.

"Is everything okay now?"

Qin Yun looked at the people in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Liu Quanxi and Lin Daqiang's people all nodded, everyone signed the termination contract, and the funds were continuously refunded.

From the nine stores, the rent exceeded 1.8 million altogether, and Qin Yun demanded a bit more, eventually totaling nearly 2 million, all returned to Qin Yun's account in the end.

"Alright, I'm leaving."

With the funds in his account, Qin Yun left directly.

"Start making calls now."

Watching Qin Yun leave, Liu Quanxi then made a call, asking Manager Jin to come and sign the contract.

However, the phone only rang twice before being hung up.

Listening to the busy tone from the phone, Liu Quanxi was stunned for a moment, then thought that Manager Jin might not recognize his number and directly sent a message.

"Hello, Manager Jin, I'm Liu Quanxi, the landlord of Celestial Fortune Clothing store. We met before. Do you have time to come over and sign the lease contract?"

He sent the message directly.

But after sending the message, there was no call or response.

"I called but no one answered."

"Same here."

At this moment, other landlords were trying to contact him too, but there was no response, and their expressions changed.

Exchanging looks, they all headed to the Celestial Fortune Clothing store.

"Qin Yun, what's going on?" they looked at Qin Yun and asked in a deep voice.

The Celestial Fortune Clothing store was right there, so Qin Yun hadn't left and was staying inside the store. Seeing them coming, he looked at their actions with indifference.

Hearing their words, Qin Yun shrugged and said, "How should I know? Didn't I give you Manager Jin's phone number earlier? What does it have to do with me if you can't reach him?"

He was unfazed by their questions.

Having been pressed by these landlords before, Qin Yun was vexed, now prepared to watch a show unfold.

Seeing Qin Yun respond like this, Liu Quanxi and the others' expressions changed further, realizing something was amiss.

Just like their previous suspicions, could Manager Jin and Qin Yun be working together?

But the Baiyu Group was clearly legitimate, and the 3-million luxury car driven by Manager Jin wasn't something just anyone could afford. Even Zuo Han's car was only over a million, three times less expensive than that.

So what was going on now?

While pondering, a blue Ferrari suddenly drove over from a distance.

"Manager Jin is here."

"Looks like he didn't answer our calls because he was on his way."

"I knew it couldn't be fake."

Seeing the dazzling blue sports car, Liu Quanxi and the others were pleased again. It seemed their worries were unnecessary.

After getting out of the car, the impeccably dressed Jin Yan strode over.

"Manager Jin, about the contract..."

Seeing Jin Yan, Liu Quanxi and the others hurriedly stepped forward to discuss signing the new contract.

"Gentlemen."

Looking at the group, Jin Yan finally spoke: "I received a notice from the Baiyu Group headquarters earlier. The plans involving the clothing sector are temporarily shelved."

"What? Temporarily shelved?"

"Manager Jin, what do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Quanxi and the others' expressions changed, their eyes fixed on Jin Yan.

"It's simple."

Jin Yan explained, "Our Baiyu Group will not lease the nine Celestial Fortune Clothing stores, so the previous contract discussions are void."

With his words, it was as if a bomb had exploded among Liu Quanxi and the others, turning their expressions unsightly.

They had already refunded Qin Yun's rent, and it was for a year, even giving him extra. Now that the Baiyu Group wasn't leasing, what did they get?

Nothing at all.

"Manager Jin, you say the plan is shelved, what about us here?"

"Yes, we've recovered the stores, and now you're saying you won't lease them?"

"Who's going to compensate for our losses?"

Liu Quanxi and the others couldn't help but say angrily.

Hearing this, Jin Yan furrowed his brow and said, "What do your losses have to do with Baiyu Group? Should Baiyu Group consider your feelings when making decisions?"

Hearing him say this, Liu Quanxi and the others' faces turned even more sullen.

"Qin Yun, Jin Yan!"

With their faces growing grim, they finally realized and angrily glared at Qin Yun, "Was this your scheme? Deliberately tricking us into signing the contract!"

How could such coincidence exist in the world? They had just refunded all of Qin Yun's rent, and right afterward Jin Yan decided not to lease the stores anymore.

"You're joking, Boss Liu."

Watching their rage, Qin Yun chuckled and said, "You've inspected Baiyu Group, and the contracts we previously signed were mutual agreements. If you slander me, I'll have to sue you for defamation."

After saying that, Qin Yun pointed to his own clothing store and said, "This is my store. I'm happy to have you buy clothes here, but if you're here to cause trouble, I'll have to call the police."

By now, the surrounding people were clearly gathering, watching the commotion.

Seeing the calm-faced Qin Yun and Jin Yan, Liu Quanxi and the others were fuming inside, but in this law-abiding society, they knew they couldn't resort to violence, especially with surveillance cameras everywhere.

So they could only leave in anger.

Watching them leave, a cold smile appeared on Qin Yun's lips.

Those landlords had irritated him so much before. Could simply refunding the rent make up for it? The revenge had just begun!

...

After leaving the Celestial Fortune Clothing store, Liu Quanxi and the others went to Zuo Han.

"What? That Jin Yan was hired by Qin Yun as part of a scheme? And now he's not leasing the stores?" Zuo Han's face changed slightly.

He had suspected this before, but he had called to confirm, ruling out that possibility.

As for Jin Yan's mention of Baiyu Group suddenly canceling plans, that could indeed be coincidental, just happening to overlap with Qin Yun's situation.

However, the likelihood of that was too low.

"Yes, President Zuo, now that Jin Yan won't sign the contract, we're losing a lot of money."

"What you provided doesn't cover our losses."

The landlords quickly expressed their grievances.

Though reluctant, a few months ago they'd leased their stores to Qin Yun. Qin Yun had given a year's rent, and after a few months passed, they'd refunded all the rent and given Qin Yun extra.

In these few months, the stores hadn't earned them a penny, and they'd ended up shelling out money instead.

Hearing their words, Zuo Han furrowed his brows slightly and said, "What loss do you have? Just rent the stores out again, can't you?"

In comparison, he was the one bearing huge losses, and these landlords had the nerve to complain to him?

If he hadn't been suppressing Celestial Fortune, he wouldn't even bother dealing with these people.
