This shop belonged to Lin Daqiang.
After watching the video, the couple's expressions changed.
"Honey, let's not rent anymore. Who knows if Lin Daqiang might do the same to our store one day," the woman couldn't help but say.
"Yes, let's not rent. I'll call to inform them in advance, and once the lease is up, we'll just leave," the man nodded without hesitation.
As tenants, their biggest concern was encountering unscrupulous landlords, and Lin Daqiang's behavior in the video greatly disgusted the young couple.
With so many vacant shops outside, why should they rent from Lin Daqiang? Why make trouble for themselves?
Hearing their words, the person showing them the video had a slight smile at the corner of their mouth.
It wasn't just here, but the same situation was happening at another shop owned by Lin Daqiang.
He had a total of five shops, three of which were rented out, with two still unoccupied.
Now, with the continuous development of the e-commerce industry, physical stores were indeed significantly impacted, and there were heaps of vacant shops outside, making it not so easy for landlords to rent them out.
"What, you're not renting next month? Qian Heng, we can discuss the rent."
At this moment, Lin Daqiang walked out of the door and received a call, his expression changing involuntarily.
Qian Heng was an old tenant of his, having rented from him for seven or eight years now. Finding tenants was really difficult, especially stable ones like this.
After Qian Heng finished the call, another tenant immediately called, clearly expressing their intention not to rent and asking for a partial refund of the rent.
In a short period, the last two tenants chose not to rent. All five of his shops were left without tenants.
Meanwhile, the people around who saw Lin Daqiang appearing were all pointing and gossiping.
"Lin Daqiang usually looks decent, but I didn't expect him to be so bad."
"Sell things to him at a higher price from now on."
"Where are his shops? We absolutely must not rent them."
Some of the neighbors' words reached Lin Daqiang's ears, and his expression continued to change.
Meanwhile, he cursed Celestial Fortune Clothing in his heart, feeling resentment, but more than that, regret, as he realized his reputation was completely gone.
Just then, a police car suddenly arrived.
Seeing the police car, Lin Daqiang's face changed even more.
"Lin Daqiang, we suspect you of maliciously suppressing tenants, and your behavior has already constituted a violation of the law. We now need to take you back to the station to answer a few questions."
The police officer spoke expressionlessly, clearly having no goodwill towards Lin Daqiang for his actions.
And so, Lin Daqiang was taken away in the police car.
It wasn't just him; other landlords were also experiencing the same exposure online, almost as if coordinated, all hitting the trending searches. The competition between Celestial Fortune Clothing and Cold Dew Clothing was also brought to light.
Previously, Celestial Fortune had only filed a simple lawsuit, doing nothing else, but they were actually quietly gathering all kinds of evidence.
Celestial Fortune rented nine shops, and as a result, Cold Dew bribed the landlords of those nine shops to unite against Celestial Fortune. Numerous voice evidence and such were directly handed over to the police station by Celestial Fortune.
"We were arranged by Cold Dew."
"I had no choice, how could we dare to go against a big company like Cold Dew?"
Faced with all kinds of evidence, those landlords couldn't deny and could only reveal the truth.
Revealing the truth was partly due to the resentment in their hearts towards Cold Dew. Now, with the online exposure, their other shop tenants were also clamoring to terminate leases, while the pointing and gossiping of people around them left them unsure of how to face it all going forward.
If not for Cold Dew, how would they have ended up like this?
Soon after, the money tycoon Zuo Han was invited to the police station for tea, and in the end, Cold Dew was fined several hundred thousand for its malicious business competition.
...
The sublease and exposure incident temporarily drew to a close, and this incident also shook the entire Jinling clothing industry.
"Celestial Fortune Clothing really struck hard this time, the exposure came so swiftly, even the colossal Cold Dew stripped a layer of skin."
"Celestial Fortune isn't afraid of anything now."
"Afraid of what? Cold Dew suppressed them that much, shouldn't they retaliate?"
"I find it a little unbelievable. Previously, when Cold Dew suppressed Celestial Fortune, we thought Celestial Fortune would have no power to resist. But now, not only does it exist safely, but it even started its counterattack."
Everyone was discussing.
In their conversations, they even developed a slight fear of Celestial Fortune!
The small Celestial Fortune seemed to be on the rise!
...
In the center of Jinling City, within a villa complex, was Zuo Han's residence.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Zuo Han's face was full of anger, and a cup in front of him was directly thrown out, shattering into pieces on the ground.
"Qin Yun!"
He was furious. Now, Cold Dew was even exposed online, and people were starting to curse Cold Dew, clearly indicating the significant impact on its reputation.
Luckily, they dealt with it in time, and the incident's heat gradually subsided.
Bzzz…
Just then, Zuo Han's phone rang.
"Big brother." Zuo Han took a deep breath, adjusted his emotions, and then answered the phone.
"Han, the company has resolved the issues over in Jinling, Su Province."
Zuo Han's older brother's voice came through, saying, "The board here is very displeased, but I told them you're young and just started dealing with business, so it's normal to make mistakes. Therefore, the board will give you one last chance. If there's any more trouble, they'll have to send someone else over."
"Thank you, big brother, for speaking up for me."
Hearing this, Zuo Han quickly said, feeling very grateful.
"We're brothers. If your big brother doesn't help you, who will? I hope you do well and don't make any more mistakes," Zuo Han's brother advised.
After a few more words, the call ended.
"Don't make mistakes?"
Holding the phone, Zuo Han's face turned sour again: "I think you're just waiting for me to make more mistakes."
His face darkened: "Qin Yun, perhaps I underestimated you a bit."
Celestial Fortune Clothing seemed easy to bully, only passively enduring the suppression without daring to say anything.
However, this time, by uniting with Jin Yan and collecting all the rent back, they immediately started a counterattack, exposing it online.
Not just Lin Dadong, but the nine landlords were all exposed, various things spread wildly online.
This exposure came so rapidly, and the spread was so fast, no one would believe Celestial Fortune wasn't ready behind the scenes.
And this exposure caused a substantial negative impact on their Cold Dew.
If not for the retaliation, which one retaliation even peeled a layer of skin off Cold Dew.
"Whew! Don't get angry, stay calm in the face of anything."
Taking a deep breath, Zuo Han suppressed his anger, trying hard to calm himself down.
His eyes glistened with a cold light: "Qin Yun, your retaliation was satisfying, but by doing so you've completely offended our Cold Dew. I wonder if you have the courage to face the wrath of the entire Cold Dew group?"
After the incident was exposed, Cold Dew's headquarters was furious. Even if they couldn't suppress Celestial Fortune in Jinling, Celestial Fortune would eventually face the entire Cold Dew Group.
...
While Zuo Han was angry, Qin Yun was quite relaxed, drinking tea with a young man.
The young man appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with an ordinary face, and he was none other than Manager Jin.
