Stop giving me bad reviews, or I'll become the richest person in the world!

"Hello, Wang Aiguo, I'm your landlord."

"Oh, Uncle Zhang, hello there, what can I do for you?"

Wang Aiguo wasn't in the shop at the moment. Since everyone had recently moved in, he was taking advantage of his free time to move some household items over as well, and he was running back and forth between the two places.

He decided not to move the large items yet, but he could easily carry the small everyday items over in bags on his electric scooter.

Moreover, since Da Lian and the others have to go to work, Wang Aiguo is now responsible for carrying their things over.

Wang Aiguo had just returned to the hotel and hadn't even carried his things upstairs when Zhang Defu called, which puzzled Wang Aiguo.

Old Zhang still had some morals, and it was a little difficult for him to bring up the issue of raising prices suddenly, but after thinking about it, he still spoke up.

"Aiguo, it's like this, your uncle is having some financial problems. You know, your uncle has a son, and he's getting married soon, so I was wondering if you could accept the rent going up to 12,000 a month? If not, I can find someone to look at the shop and sell it."

"You want to sell your shop? Oh, no problem!"

Wang Aiguo answered decisively.

Hearing Wang Aiguo's decisiveness, Old Zhang spoke up immediately.

"Can you accept 12,000 a month?"

"Oh, no, no, no, I can accept you selling the shop."

When Wang Aiguo answered like this, not only Lao Zhang, but even his wife Li Xiulan was stunned. Both of them were convinced that Wang Aiguo definitely didn't want to move the shop, which was why he brought it up.

Unexpectedly, Wang Aiguo refused the price increase without even considering it and agreed to let them sell the shop.

"If you're going to sell, you might need to move. Your shop is just starting out, and I've heard business is pretty good. You're already agreeing to move?"

"It's alright, it's alright, your money is more important. Although a sale doesn't break a lease, if you want me to move out, that's fine too."

"As long as you give me my remaining rent and deposit, I'll move out immediately. It will definitely be done in three days at most."

"Then why don't you consider raising the rent...?"

"No way, no way. The rent is 12,000. Your shop is definitely not worth it."

Wang Aiguo answered with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Defu and Li Xiulan fell silent. They had actually just wanted to trick Wang Aiguo, but they never expected him to be so uncooperative. They knew the situation of their small shop well. The rent used to be 10,000 yuan, then it was reduced to 9,000 yuan, and now it's 8,000 yuan. Only Wang Aiguo was willing to rent it. If Wang Aiguo didn't rent it, the rent might have to be reduced even further.

But just then, Li Xiulan leaned close to Zhang Defu's ear and whispered something.

"No, we can make it ourselves."

"Okay, that works too!"

By this time, the elderly couple had already concluded that Wang Aiguo's shop had gained enough customers that it would be fine for them to run it themselves or rent it out to someone else.

However, they certainly didn't look closely at the online reviews of Wang Aiguo's store. The reviews were overwhelmingly negative. A store with a rating below 1.5 and a negative review rate of 70% is truly a rare find.

With such a notorious shop, no one understands why Wang Aiguo was able to make it work.

"Okay, then you can get ready to move in. I'll come to collect the keys in three days. I'll also refund your deposit and the remaining rent every day."

Since Old Zhang had said so, Wang Aiguo nodded happily and agreed.

After leaving his things in the hotel lobby, Wang Aiguo rode his electric scooter back to his shop. The first thing he did upon arriving at the shop was to shut down the online platform.

"Alright everyone, stop busying yourselves and pack everything up. We're moving. This store will no longer be open. We'll open a new store downstairs from our own home, so it will be more convenient for everyone to get to work; you can just go downstairs."

After Wang Aiguo finished speaking, Da Lian was the first to stick his head out of the food outlet.

"Why are you suddenly abandoning this store? Didn't you say you were going to open a branch? Were you going to open two stores side-by-side?"

"That's what I was thinking, but the landlord of this shop said there's an economic crisis and he wants to sell the shop, so there's nothing I can do."

"Oh, I see. That's great! Our current store is even bigger than this one, which makes things much more convenient!"

Big Face said happily, and Wang Aiguo nodded in agreement. Indeed, to be honest, he wasn't particularly interested in branch stores. For a store like his, it would be good if one branch succeeded; opening two wouldn't be necessary. In comparison, he planned to do other businesses.

These past two days he's been thinking about what kind of business he should do to upgrade the system. After all, what the monk said is right. If the system is upgraded, he can escape or learn some special skills, which will greatly help him survive.

Otherwise, with more and more money, the crime of possessing a huge amount of property from unknown sources becomes a very awkward situation.

Even if no one finds out about him, it's good to have this backup plan.

Not having and not using are two different things.

Since Wang Aiguo had said so, no one wasted any more words and they all started packing their things one by one.

Moving was actually simpler. After everyone packed their things, Wang Aiguo called a moving company, which used a large truck to move everything from the store to the new store.

Three days later, Lao Zhang came to find Wang Aiguo. Wang Aiguo promptly handed over the keys, and without saying a word, he rode off on his electric scooter.

Old Zhang was also dumbfounded when he saw Wang Aiguo hand over the keys so readily.

"He broke up with her so easily? That young man is too decisive! Has he already found a new place? But that's too fast, only three days!"

Old Zhang never dreamed that his decision would be exactly what Wang Aiguo wanted. He had just bought a five-story abandoned hotel and had just finished renovating it.

That evening, on the first floor of the hotel, Wang Aiguo happily raised his glass.

"Alright, everyone, from now on this is our real home, a home where we won't be evicted. I've bought the whole building, and the property rights are all in my name, so there won't be any problems!"

"If you work for me for three years, I'll give you shares. In addition to the shop's profits, there's also an apartment upstairs that you'll have permanent residency rights."

Upon hearing Wang Aiguo's words, all the employees raised their glasses, including Zhao Haitang. Over time, he had come to admire Wang Aiguo completely.

To be honest, he has found a job in Haicheng now, and the salary is quite high, but the boss is really not as humane as Wang Aiguo.

"Okay, then we wish our boss continued happiness and booming business, and we all good health. We hope we can stay together forever!"

Big Face's words struck a chord with everyone present, and everyone raised their glasses, excitedly clinking glasses with him.

"Yes, yes, we'll always be together!"

"Cheers!"
