"President Zuo, you can't say that."

"We were firmly on your side before."

As Zuo Han finished speaking, Liu Quanxi and the others immediately objected.

They also knew they were in the wrong, but for the sake of profit, they chose to side with Zuo Han.

They came here wanting more benefits, but now it seemed Zuo Han was essentially ignoring them.

Hearing their words, Zuo Han frowned and said, "You were on my side, but Celestial Fortune not only wasn't defeated, they actually grew stronger."

Thinking about it made him angry. These people were of hardly any help at all.

"Alright, now your relationship with Celestial Fortune is over, and so is ours. When you really think about it, your current situation is just as if the shops weren't rented out for these months. What I've given you should easily cover those losses."

Zuo Han waved his hand, clearly ready to show them out.

Joking aside, these landlords couldn't affect Celestial Fortune at all, so they were of no use to him. Was he supposed to keep throwing money at them?

He wasn't foolish; he found himself short on money now.

Hearing Zuo Han's words, all the landlords were furious, but they didn't dare say anything, just stewed silently.

Cold Dew Group was a multi-billion yuan company. Although they owned some shops, it was obviously no match for Cold Dew Group, so naturally they didn't dare go against such a large corporation.

...

Landlord Lin Daqiang left Cold Dew Group, fuming inside.

"Humph! Promising us so much to use us before, now that we're of no use, they just drop us." He cursed Cold Dew Group in his heart.

Thinking about his idle shops, Lin Daqiang finally accepted the reality and sighed, "Guess I'll have to rent them out again."

He kept busy for a bit and then went home.

A few hours after he got home, his WeChat suddenly rang, followed by a phone call.

When he looked at the phone, it was a call from a friend.

"Hello."

"Daqiang, I sent you a video on WeChat, take a look quickly!"

His friend sounded anxious and quickly said.

He was worried Lin Daqiang wouldn't see the video, so he specifically called to inform him.

"Video?"

Lin Daqiang was puzzled and opened WeChat.

It was downloaded from Douyin, and as he opened the video, sounds and scenes began to appear.

"I'm not renting this shop anymore, preparing to take it back."

"I really have some issues and can't rent the shop anymore. We signed a breach of contract before, don't worry, I'll pay the penalty."

Seeing this video, Lin Daqiang's face suddenly turned pale.

Then, the video showed a blurry figure of Lin Daqiang. At that moment in the video, he was causing trouble in a clothing store, forcing the shop to terminate the lease.

And shortly after, it seemed the clothing store compromised and was ready to close down, and Lin Daqiang's voice changed again.

"You agreed to terminate the lease? But now I'm not in a rush, so I can't terminate it."

"Oh, well, I can't help it either, you'll have to find someone to sublet it yourself."

The next shot was of the clothing store closing, with a 'For Sublease' sign put up, and that was the end of the video.

After watching the whole video, Lin Daqiang felt a chill in his heart.

He knew he was in the wrong, and landlords like him exposed online were widely condemned, and now his actions were also exposed online.

Looking at the Douyin account on the video, Lin Daqiang shakily searched, and indeed, many comments had already accumulated under the video.

"666, this landlord's move is really brazen. Someone opens a store, he refuses to rent, wants to return the deposit, and brings people to make trouble for no reason. Finally, the tenant is helpless, decides to close the store, returns the deposit only to get it withheld again. I have only one sentence: I've never seen anyone as shameless as this."

"Goddamn, this makes me sick."

"I thought my landlord was bad, didn't expect there's someone worse."

"Isn't this malicious suppression? With a landlord like this, who dares to rent a store and do business? I open a store and you come to sabotage, after the sabotage I can't keep the business going, and you won't return the deposit. If this trend continues, we might as well all go back to farming."

"Jinling's official agencies? How come they're not managing this?"

"As a businessman struggling in Jinling, I'm shaking in a corner now. Please expose the landlord's name and the shops under them, so I can avoid them."

"Any address? I want to send the landlord a package for free."

"I know, that landlord is Lin Daqiang, and the shop is Celestial Fortune Clothing Store. Previously, Celestial Fortune Clothing Store and Cold Dew Clothing Store were in competition, and Lin Daqiang was clearly helping Cold Dew Clothing Store, and then Celestial Fortune Clothing Store closed for a few days under pressure."

"Really, a cow flying a plane, BS big time, as a landlord, actually helping other clothing stores to suppress his own tenants."

...

Each comment was cursing the landlord, many were asking for more details about Lin Daqiang in the video, and some had already recognized him.

"It's over!"

Looking at all the information, Lin Daqiang felt blank in his mind.

All the things he did were exposed online.

He knew what he did was terrible, and if it spreads wildly, his situation would definitely turn sour.

"It must have been exposed by Celestial Fortune Clothing Store!"

Panic-stricken, Lin Daqiang suddenly thought of that, but he didn't feel vindictive, instead hoping Celestial Fortune Clothing Store would quickly take down the video.

He called Qin Yun, but no one answered.

In a hurry, Lin Daqiang hurriedly rushed downstairs.

Near where Lin Daqiang lived, some people were showing the video to others, appearing quite shocked.

"Look, isn't that Lin Daqiang?"

"Eh, it really is. Suppressing his own tenant, how poor his character is."

Some people were strolling around, approaching others, surprisedly showing them the video on their phones.

In a short time, almost all the nearby stores, residents, etc., had seen the video and were aware of Lin Daqiang's character.

In another one hundred square meter shop, a couple in their thirties were running a small supermarket.

"The lease is about to expire, should we continue renting this shop?"

The woman asked at this point.

Business was difficult, and they weren't earning much. Running a store in Jinling meant high rental costs cutting into their profits.

So, this couple had been thinking about returning to their hometown for business or relocating.

Upon hearing this, the man shook his head and said, "Let's give it another year. If it still doesn't pick up, then we'll leave."

It was evident he hadn't given up yet.

A young man buying something in the shop saw a video on Douyin and suddenly said, "Boss, take a look at this, it seems like your landlord is in this video?"

This young man was playing Lin Daqiang's video.
