Dai Yu's pale face immediately twisted into an extremely unpleasant, awkward expression.
"Jiang... Landlord, please have a seat."
Seeing Dai Yu's smile, which looked worse than crying, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head with a laugh: "Sigh, why sit in my own shop? I have five such shops in Modu."
Hearing Jiang Cheng repeat his earlier words, Dai Yu's face flushed red.
They were both adults, and after realizing Jiang Cheng's power, even though he was being ridiculed, Dai Yu didn't force himself to confront Jiang Cheng again.
Of course, if Jiang Cheng were just an ordinary Second-generation rich, Dai Yu would naturally have been as verbally abusive as before.
But now that he knew Jiang Cheng was someone he couldn't afford to offend, he naturally chose to grovel.
This is the adult world.
Though ironic, it's very realistic.
Dai Yu understood that even if Jiang Cheng bought the shop, the contracts he had previously signed with other landlords were still legally binding.
But even so, Dai Yu didn't dare to clash with Jiang Cheng again.
Jiang Cheng was able to find out his information and his landlord's information in such a short time.
This in itself was a terrifying thing.
The most terrifying thing was that Jiang Cheng could get all these landlords to agree to transfer their shops to him in such a short time, which required absolute power.
Not only did Dai Yu not frown, he even immediately fawned and flattered, saying, "You're right, you are indeed the most capable person I've ever met. I'm truly honored that someone of your caliber would become my landlord. You have no idea how happy I am. This is fate!"
Seeing no change in Jiang Cheng's expression, Dai Yu again ingratiated, "How about we add each other on wechat? I can contact you directly if anything comes up in the future. You can also tell me directly on wechat if you need anything."
Seeing Dai Yu's face, which was completely different from before, Jiang Cheng instantly smiled.
Jiang Cheng had to admit that there were indeed many talented people in this world.
Although people like Dai Yu were annoying, his shameless personality was the easiest way to make money.
However, Jiang Cheng still hadn't forgotten the ridicule he had directed at him earlier.
Those words couldn't be nullified by a few simple sentences.
"Adding wechat is unnecessary. I don't really like your brand of milk tea. Your shop's milk tea ingredients aren't pure milk, but cheap non-dairy creamer, right? Eating too much of this ingredient puts a heavy burden on the human body, and there are many students nearby. For the future of our country, I think it's better if your shop closes."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Dai Yu's face instantly darkened.
After analyzing the meaning of Jiang Cheng's words, Dai Yu found it even harder to accept.
No matter how much he tried to control his emotions, the moment he heard Jiang Cheng tell him to close the shop, he couldn't help but reveal his true nature.
"What do you mean by that?" Dai Yu frowned, staring at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng shrugged: "Don't understand? Or are you deliberately playing dumb? Then I'll put it plainly: I don't want to rent to you anymore."
Receiving Jiang Cheng's affirmative answer, Dai Yu's face truly changed color instantly.
He couldn't suppress the tightening of his lips, and his tone became very stiff.
"Don't you know? Don't think that having money makes you great. So what if you become my new landlord? The contract I signed before is still valid, so even if you don't want to, you still have to rent it to me. You can't just not want to. If you don't rent it to me, it's a breach of contract, and you'll have to pay compensation, do you understand?"
Jiang Cheng heard this and shrugged indifferently: "Do I look like I'm short on money?"
Dai Yu was choked by his words.
He was indeed powerless to refute what Jiang Cheng said; if Jiang Cheng were short on money, he wouldn't have bought the shop directly.
At this point, Dai Yu understood that Jiang Cheng was deliberately trying to provoke him.
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial source is like killing their parents.
Dai Yu's hatred for Jiang Cheng was now at its peak.
The locations of these milk tea shops he rented were all excellent, with three of them located within the food street of the university town.
Although university students' living expenses might not be as high as those who have entered the workforce, these students actually have higher spending power.
Tens of thousands of students in a university town can support many food street vendors nearby.
Current university students generally have living expenses of one to two thousand yuan.
While this amount may not seem high, how many people can continue this quality of life after graduating from university?
The reality is that the basic salary for most university graduates is 3,000 to 5,000 yuan.
After deducting rent, utilities, and public transport costs, having a quarter of that remaining for daily living expenses is already good.
So, compared to these university students, the lives of most working professionals are not significantly superior.
Moreover, the business of many food courts near university towns is not worse than that of ordinary commercial streets.
The rent for businesses in such places is not only cheaper than ordinary commercial streets, but the foot traffic is also very stable.
However, Jiang Cheng was now saying he wanted to terminate the contract; how could Dai Yu accept that?
These shops were the result of his several years of hard work and accumulation.
If all the contracts were terminated, wouldn't he be starting from scratch?
Although terminating the contract would seem to be a short-term loss for Jiang Cheng, as he would have to pay breach of contract fees.
However, in the long run, Dai Yu would bear a greater cost.
If he couldn't find shops with such excellent locations, his subsequent sales would definitely decline.
Moreover, even if he found a good new location, the renovation of the shop alone would take some time.
Furthermore, the operation, weight, and reviews on the food delivery platforms would all have to be restarted.
Stability is the most important thing in business; this was tantamount to starting all over again.
Thinking this, Dai Yu couldn't help but become agitated: "Aren't you afraid I'll sue you! Expose you!"
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh at Dai Yu's childish words.
If Dai Yu were truly that tough, his Danger Perception Skill would have already alerted him.
It should be noted that the Danger Perception Skill had immediately alerted him to a series of dangers approaching Luo Jia the first time he saw her, even predicting subsequent company crises.
The second time the Danger Perception Skill warned him was in the underground parking lot of the Wanda Group office building.
As soon as Jiang Cheng approached the porsche 918, the Danger Perception Skill immediately alerted him that there was a problem with the vehicle and warned him about Hao Liang bribing the car thief.
And now, he had been in contact with Dai Yu for so long, and the Danger Perception Skill showed no signs of activity.
Even when he explicitly stated that he didn't want to rent to him, the Danger Perception Skill remained motionless.
This indicated that Dai Yu posed no threat to him at all.
