The same television footage evoked completely different reactions from the troublemaking tenants.

"Damn it, I bet on the wrong horse. If I had known this would happen, I would never have offended Tian Jianfeng!"

They started blaming each other, then turned to Tian Jianfeng for leniency, allowing them to continue operating in the zoo market.

Tian Jianfeng was extremely smug, snorting and saying he would never give them another chance.

They can't go back to Dong'an Market, and they've lost the Zoo Market. They're caught in a dilemma, unable to attend to either side.

Just when Tian Jianfeng was feeling smug and thought that Wenwan Group was about to decline, the garment factory suddenly experienced a surge in orders.

This incident of the deputy mayor abusing his power for personal gain did not draw strong condemnation from the public. On the contrary, people saw the man's sense of responsibility and expressed their understanding from the bottom of their hearts.

Wenwan Group was not negatively affected; on the contrary, some media reports emphasized their sense of social responsibility.

Such a caring company deserves everyone's support.

Seeing the positive public opinion, Lu Wanqing established a foundation to help pregnant women experiencing difficult childbirth, promising that hundreds of thousands of employees in the group would voluntarily donate blood should a transfusion be needed.

This sense of social responsibility has made Wenwan Group a role model for businesses, significantly enhancing its reputation.

Good news also came from the export trade sector: the number of export traders has grown to more than 100, with annual orders reaching 5 million pieces.

In other words, the existing production scale is insufficient to meet demand, and further expansion of production is necessary.

Meanwhile, the domestic clothing wholesale market has also seen a surge in activity.

Dong'an Market is booming again, with tenants constantly busy.

In contrast, the zoo market has become sluggish, with a somber and lifeless atmosphere every day.

Many merchants have realized that Tian Jianfeng is only interested in making money, lacks ability, and has no good management measures. Under his management, the market is getting worse and worse.

So they gave up the two thousand yuan and went to stay with Abiao, preferring to spend more money to rent shops in Dong'an.

As it turned out, their choice was correct. In less than a month, they earned back the rent of more than 10,000 yuan, and they have been profitable every month since.

With the decline of the zoo market and the pressure from banks to repay loans, Tian Jianfeng was on the verge of bankruptcy every day.

Bank staff and tenants took turns coming to his home to collect the money. If he couldn't repay the loan by the due date, the courtyard house would be taken away.

"Go ask the old man for help. No matter what, he shouldn't just stand by and watch someone die," Du Meili urged Tian Jianfeng to borrow money.

When the old man heard that he had lost all five million yuan and still owed the bank one million yuan, he almost couldn't catch his breath.

"Grandpa, please ask my uncle to help me. How can we, as family, just stand by and watch someone die?" Tian Jianfeng knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

The old man, being soft-hearted, called Tian Guangrong over, intending to repeat his dramatic display of crying,闹事, and threatening suicide, but Tian Guangrong resolutely refused.

"Dad, I came back to support you and ensure you can live out your last few years in peace and live a long and healthy life."

Now it seems that my indulgence only made them more arrogant. I said last time that I would not give them any more money in the future.

Even if the house is confiscated, I won't care. I'll find you a place to live. I have no obligation to take care of anyone else.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Tian Jianfeng stopped crying and begging, and started arguing back.

The old man's peaceful life was thus shattered. It's hard to say whether to blame Tian Guangrong's sudden return or Tian Jianfeng's greed and incompetence.

Hearing them arguing so fiercely, the old man felt a rush of blood to his head and immediately fainted.

Tian Guangrong then stopped arguing and quickly took the old man to the hospital.

After emergency treatment, his life was saved, but he was admitted to the ICU and was not completely out of danger. He was still in a state of alternating consciousness and confusion.

When Tian Guangrong returned home, a group of people came and started moving things out. Zhou Ling was crying and trying to stop them.

"Please, please don't take the house away."

She worried that if she took the house away while Tian Guangrong was away, he would blame her.

Tian Guangrong was furious and stepped forward to stop them, but was pushed away.

He was over seventy years old and no match for the young man; he could only watch helplessly as his house was confiscated.

Fortunately, he had money and quickly rented a courtyard house nearby. He also hired people to move the items he had thrown out into the house, so he finally had a place to live.

Tian Jianfeng also wanted to move in, but was turned away at the door.

"If you had even a shred of shame, you wouldn't have stepped through this door."

Tian Guangrong didn't want to be taken advantage of anymore.

The old man is in the ICU, and there's no way to morally blackmail him anymore.

Soon, the courtyard house was auctioned off, and A Biao acquired ownership for 100,000 yuan.

100,000 yuan was far from enough. Tian Jianfeng's wholesale market was also auctioned off as an asset, and the proceeds from the auction were used to repay the remaining amount.

On the day of the auction, many companies participated in the bidding, and in the end, A Biao won the bid for 1.5 million.

Ah Biao never expected the market price to be so low.

In addition to the land, there are already buildings on it.

After taking it back, he hired Luo Hao's construction team to replan the land. Around the original main building, various shops of different sizes will be built to meet the needs of different merchants.

Tian Jianfeng's hair turned white overnight. He never imagined that he would only get so little money from the market he invested five or six million yuan in. Moreover, after paying off the bank loan, he only had a few hundred thousand yuan left. He still had to compensate the tenants for their losses and pay off the debts for purchasing raw materials.

In the end, he had no money left and even had to sell his jewelry to barely make ends meet.

He started acting like Xianglin's wife, telling everyone he met why he had such bad luck. He never questioned his own management, but instead pointed the finger at Wenwan Group.

He saw news about Lu Wanqing in the newspaper and on television, and he wanted nothing more than to tear her apart.

Zhou Ling was glad that she had found a job outside. Even if Tian Guangrong didn't give her money, she could still support herself and her son.

However, when they were alone together, Tian Mufeng told him the truth:

"Mufeng, we'll sleep here from now on. Your dad hasn't given us any living expenses for two months. Luckily, Mom has a job and can support us."

Only then did Tian Mufeng realize that his father was a scoundrel who would rather give the Tian family a lot of money than spend it on his mother.

He seemed to grow up overnight and started working hard at a tech company.

Zhou Ling was very pleased to know that her son was the most filial son.

Soon, the electronics company invested in by Tian Guangrong, under the research of Tian Mufeng, produced a new type of mobile phone.

Han Tao's company was also preparing for a new product launch, and Ququ led everyone to develop a new flip phone.
