"Hello friends, I'm Old Tang. Yes, the one who asked for six hundred thousand in overti pay. This should be my first video, and I'll be uploading so interesting videos from ti to ti. I hope everyone likes them..."
"The story is quite simple. I was renting a place and saw a nice apartnt on so APP, with good decoration, a good location, and a good price. So, I arranged with the agent to go and view it."
"But when I got there, they told that the apartnt had just been rented out. I said that's quite a coincidence. I contacted you last night, and now it's only nine in the morning. How could it be so coincidental that the apartnt has already been rented out?"
"Then they admitted they used fake photos and a fake price, and said that all agents do this nowadays..."
Tang Fangjing went on to talk about the cost of his taxi fare and the lawsuit he was filing. In the end, he added:
"Honestly, after they paid , I was content. I'm not a bad person, really. It was their attitude that got —saying that everyone does this nowadays and that I should make the whole industry use real listings if I'm capable."
"So look at this, the stage is set, let's get to work..."
I'd fild a bit of footage while running around earlier, and now I've edited it all together. In the scorching heat, I ran around like a salesman, promoting from dawn to dusk, frenzied as if possessed.
Of course, a significant portion of the video covered the help from the university students. I had specifically confird with them if they were okay with appearing on cara. So didn't mind, and so insisted on showing their faces...
Then ca the investigation results, as well as the reports and lawsuits. Of course, companies like Hua Shi Real Estate and Anke 85, which were diluting their service with lies, had to be highlighted.
After a careful check to ensure there were no issues, I clicked upload.
I posted on all major platforms, since short video platforms now support longer videos too.
I'm actually short on money myself. After buying a house, I was left with very little. Thankfully, the public interest lawsuit settlent ca through. With a fifty-fifty split, that amount should be enough for Tang Fangjing to live on for a while.
But with a mortgage to pay, and considering the future purchase of a car and a parking space, I definitely need to make more money.
Sigh, if only my system could give money as well. Life is important, but so is money. I have to go to the hospital for check-ups every month and take all sorts of expensive dication.
Why is it that in those novels with characters who have systems, they end up with fancy cars and beautiful won, living the high life...
After uploading the video, Tang Fangjing inford the university students who had left their contact information with him, and then he didn't bother to follow up. As expected, the opposite party appealed Elder Zhang's case, and he needed to show up, even if just as a formality.
......
Lu Jiayu, now a working office drone, was busy when her phone rang. She picked it up and her face lit up with surprise—Old Tang had actually pulled it off?
To be honest, although everyone had been helping out before, we all knew that young people co and go quickly.
Even if it was just for fun, they expected to see the results the very next day after participating. When things quieted down later, nobody paid much special attention anymore.
But Old Tang had wrapped things up quietly!
Don't ask why we call him Old Tang. Despite his young age, he's slick like an old hand—a pure vibe, much more mature than his peers.
So even though he's only about twenty-five years old, everyone calls him Old Tang.
I really want to watch that video. I'm dying to see those agents' reactions when they find out what's been exposed. But I'm at work right now...
Forget it, I'll sneak a peek. But before that, I need to share it and tell my friends!
The sa thing was happening on campus, especially among those who had initially gone to collect evidence. They were ecstatic to see the video now!
"Guys, co quick and watch this. That thing I participated in before has been wrapped up. What are you all doing, guys? Hurry up and co over!"
In the dormitory, Zhang Yuhao was shouting at a few of his roommates. It was essential to have others join in on watching—it was all the more satisfying!
And with the first ti under his belt, if Tang Fangjing ever wanted to do sothing similar again, people like Zhang Yuhao would definitely be the first to run and join in. The sense of participation was just too high...
Compared to soone purely interested in fun like Zhang Yuhao, other students who had been scamd, especially those who recently rented apartnts, felt a deep connection!
The comnts section was getting crowded with all sorts of rants.
"Holy ****, I've had the sa experience, but I chose to look at another apartnt. Although I was really upset inside because the one I originally liked was gone, soone has finally taken them on!"
"Damn, all of a company's listings are fake? So, they're not mixing in any truth at all, huh? The way the host of the video describes their trickery as 'water diluted with water' is just spot-on!"
"And the platforms, particularly that 85, how dare they claim they've fulfilled their responsibilities? It's a nest of scamrs, and yet they have the audacity to say anything!"
But what everyone found most thrilling was watching the reactions of those real estate agency bosses when they received their penalties and subpoenas.
So many people have encountered this before, and plenty have heard about it too. Now, that's just how things are done; there's no helping it.
Well, now it's good. Soone has finally stood up to them, and did it in such a way that left them speechless!
One hundred percent fake listings, huh? How are you going to explain that?
As the video began to trend on various platforms, the Jingzhou Market Supervision Departnt threw fuel on the fire by issuing a notice.
At last, several listed companies ca forward to apologize.
They pledged to provide strict training to their branches nationwide, insisting that such incidents must not happen again, and of course, they stated they would not appeal.
The platform companies did the sa, hastily apologizing, which was for the best. They were practically stripped bare, and if they remained obstinate, their competitors would die laughing.
All sorts of apologies pushed the fervor to a peak, and under such intensity, so opinions started to erge.
"Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes": As a re passerby, I really don't understand why so many people hate agents. Is there sothing wrong with what they're saying? The whole industry operates this way, and why is that? It's because you custors are the greedy ones.
Do the agents owe you sothing? You want nice houses for low prices, chauffeured cars, and yet disdain the agents who run around in all weather to earn a hard living. Is it necessary to make such a fuss about it?
What's the big deal with fake listings? What exactly have they conned you out of? Co on, tell . Many agents offer car pickups, so speak with your conscience, what exactly have they fooled you into?
Argunts like this all had the sa core: the fakes are just there to attract leads; everyone does it, and it hasn't really conned anyone. After all, you ended up renting a place, why blow things out of proportion…
These argunts sparked a new round of debates, and the video's comnt section turned into a battlefield.
Tang Fangjing only learned about this quarrel the next day, as he was just walking out from the Jingzhou Interdiate Court. Elder Zhang looked dark-faced.
No clue how much fake booze this guy had drunk, but today he seed determined to make a statent, and Tang Fangjing could only indulge him a bit. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to perform a solo act.
And so, Elder Zhang ranted on…
What I didn't expect was for the issue to beco such a hot topic. To be fair, those people had a point; it "seems" they haven't really conned anything.
But what if everyone used real listing information, real prices?
Choosing online is ant to make things more convenient for everyone, sorting out all aspects beforehand.
Now that we're faced with fake information, the agents have turned it into a kind of blind box ga offline...
Many people don't like the hassle and even dislike dealing with others. So sotis they show you another apartnt, you see it, you rent it.
It's not because they like the apartnt but mostly because they don't want the hassle...
But if the information was real, wouldn't there be more choices available?
Tang Fangjing turned his thoughts into an article titled: Just Because Everyone Does It, Does That Make It Right?
If you don't stake your claim to the moral high ground, don't be surprised when others gradually encroach upon it.
Right is right, and wrong is wrong. Using fake attractions to generate traffic can never be considered right; society needs people who do the right thing.
After posting the article, he was busy heading over to Yuefu Residential Complex. The bank had disbursed the loan today, and he couldn't wait to move into his new place.
On the internet, so socially anxious and inconvenience-averse individuals suddenly saw the light. It really was just like that; they had caved in while renting apartnts just because they were afraid of the hassle.
Take soone like Lu Jiayu, for instance. The agent she had encountered before even admitted to her before she viewed the apartnt that the listings were fake, created just to generate leads.
However, the agent didn't send real listing information online; they insisted she visit in person. By that ti, she had already looked at three apartnts.
On her fourth viewing, she actually didn't like the apartnt, but with school ending soon and several tiring visits already done, she felt compelled to accept it.
She hadn't given it much thought before, but now it seems clear. If the online listings were real, she definitely would have scrutinized them before visiting.
So she started furiously berating "Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes"...
......
At Yuefu Residential Complex, Tang Fangjing had received the keys. Step outside, and there's the law firm; a walk of just over ten minutes brought him to the Guangming District Court. Could anything be more aweso!
In the future, a ride on an electric scooter is all it'll take to get to court. Comfortable.
