"I have to say, you people at Futong Commerce are really something else. You know we already gave Airex our support, but forget being grateful, you turn around and use it to demand the same terms for other brands. This is a classic case of 'give an inch, take a mile,' isn't it? It looks like we can't give you any favorable policies from now on."
The staff at Xinyue Square were quite resentful about the rent reduction. It was a directive from regional headquarters they simply had to follow, but it created a lot of trouble for them. When Futong Commerce brought up the Airex rent reduction, other brands came knocking, hoping for a reduction too. Thankfully, they were turned away. But what about the other companies? They would ask, "Why could you give Airex a rent reduction? We're losing money too, so why can't we get any support?"
