Chapter 1362 - 1362 657 Dont Make Me Wait Too Long _2

Chapter 1362: Chapter 657: Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long! _2 Chapter 1362: Chapter 657: Don’t Make Me Wait Too Long! _2 This news made Gu Ting’s legs weak for a moment, unsure of how to react.

Gu Ting’s mind rapidly spun, the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association must have recently offended Qixing, otherwise Qixing wouldn’t have released the news now.

Recently, the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association had been focusing on the development of the second world, and the problem most likely arose there!

Fortunately, the second world had only been operational for a few days, so an investigation now would surely clarify everything!

The development of the situation required time, and the news from Saint Creator Qixing couldn’t have reached Master Yun Tian’s ears immediately.

Based on the timeline, Gu Ting felt that this issue very likely happened on the first day of the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association’s opening in the second world!

“Mr. Wu Liang, I will definitely investigate and report to you as soon as possible.”

“However, our Beast Collection Merchants’ Association really doesn’t have any relationship with Saintly Truth Creator Qixing, could you perhaps help us bridge a connection, giving us a chance to communicate with Master Qixing?”

Wu Liang looked at Gu Ting speechlessly.

“Gu Ting, what do you think I am, to just establish a connection with Master Qixing like that?”

“I can’t help with this favor; you should look for other connections!”

Joking aside, even if he was merely the assistant to Master Yun Tian, establishing such a connection wasn’t so straightforward!

With that said, Wu Liang heavily patted Gu Ting on the shoulder.

“First know what exactly has happened, so I can go back and report to Lord Yun Tian.”

“Whether or not I can help your Beast Collection Merchants’ Association through this difficulty is up to Lord Yun Tian, not me.”

“I’ll wait here for your message, hoping you can update me within two hours and then take that information back with me.”

“Don’t make me wait too long!”

“How long I wait doesn’t really matter to me, but if Lord Yun Tian loses his temper for waiting too long, don’t blame me for not warning you!”

After speaking, Wu Liang prepared to enter the conference room, which only the president of the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association could enter.

Suddenly, Gu Ting turned around and forcefully stuffed a piece of Platinum Tier Spatial Equipment into Wu Liang’s hand.

“Mr. Wu Liang, this is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it!”

“I don’t need you to do anything for Beast Collection Merchants’ Association, I just hope that in the future if it’s suitable, you could speak well of us to Master Yun Tian!”

“It won’t take two hours; I’ll bring you the information within one hour!”

With that, Gu Ting quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Gu Ting abruptly shut down the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association’s shops in the second world without explanation, gathering all the managers and staff within a mere twenty minutes.

Yu Yi and Gu Ting’s followers did not dare to disclose what had happened previously.

The other managers and staff of the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association were completely unaware of the situation.

Everyone in the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association knew how much Gu Ting valued the development in the second world; regardless of what happened, closing the shops shouldn’t have been an option.

The closure of the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association’s stores would have a severe impact on them and could even affect their reputation!

The crowd speculated whether a significant issue had arisen in the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association, and one of the managers spoke up upon seeing Gu Ting.

“President, our reputation in the second world has already been established, and now many factions are interested in visiting our headquarters.”

“At this time, closing the stores is an immeasurable loss!”

“The resources needed to set up shops in the second world are far less than in the real world, you see…”

This manager was interrupted by Gu Ting before he could finish.

“My decision was made after careful consideration; you just need to execute it.”

“Do you think I’m unaware that this will affect the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association’s development in the second world?”

“Our Beast Collection Merchants’ Association had just managed to establish these shops ahead of others!”

At that point, Gu Ting paused and didn’t continue discussing the matter.

He directed his question at the three managers, including Yu Yi.

“Have there been any issues during the time you three have managed the Second World?”

Gu Ting’s words were too obvious, as if the forced decision by the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association had something to do with the three of them.

Yu Yi had just received praise from Gu Ting and was expecting a reward from him in front of all members of the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association later.

Now, with Gu Ting asking this question, Yu Yi felt extremely conflicted.

To say whether there had been any conflicts during the time he managed in the Second World, there indeed had been three rather serious ones.

However, Yu Yi knew the protagonists of two of the conflicts, and these two parties were hardly any threat, nor did they affect the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association itself.

One of the conflicts was even started by Yu Yi standing up for his client.

As for the conflict with Fang Mu and Wang Longfei, Yu Yi had long since put it out of his mind.

Yu Yi didn’t consider these two young teenagers worth his attention.

Today, the manager in charge of operating the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association was extremely frustrated, firstly because the sudden closure of the store prevented him from explaining to several clients who had made appointments.

Secondly, this manager found that several key clients who had made appointments suddenly withdrew, expressing their reluctance to patronize the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association.

It was understandable if one key client made such a decision, but it seemed absurd that several key clients decided simultaneously.

This manager keenly felt that someone might be targeting the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association!

President Gu Ting’s decision was also very likely related to this issue.

With this thought, the manager reported the situation to Gu Ting.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ting angrily asked,

“Zhao Jiapo, why didn’t you report this situation to me earlier!?”

Gu Ting was usually very stable and well-tempered in front of these managers.

Even if a manager really encountered a problem at work, Gu Ting was always the forgiving one.

It was rare for Gu Ting to burst out in anger like now, and in Zhao Jiapo’s memory, Gu Ting had only ever been angry once before.

At that time, the person Gu Ting was angry at had since disappeared from the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association.

This time, Gu Ting was venting his anger in front of everyone, and it wasn’t directed only at Zhao Jiapo.

Zhao Jiapo hurriedly explained,

“President, the first key client who refused to visit the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association sent the message just one hour ago, and all of this happened within a short hour.”

“I couldn’t report to you directly without understanding the situation!”

“And before receiving your message, I had already instructed my deputies to report the situation to you before accounting for the finances tonight.”

Zhao Jiapo’s explanations were not made in haste. Although Zhao Jiapo’s deputies worked with him, their relationship was both cooperative and competitive.

If Zhao Jiapo hadn’t mentioned these points, his deputies wouldn’t cover for him.

This incident made Zhao Jiapo exceptionally frustrated; so many key clients choosing not to visit the Beast Collection Merchants’ Association indicated his poor management in the Second World.

If he were to be the last among all managers, Zhao Jiapo wouldn’t be able to hold his head up.

There was no need for Zhao Jiapo to hide these matters from Gu Ting; discussing them in advance could have secured Gu Ting’s understanding.

Gu Ting vented some of his repressed anger on Zhao Jiapo, but in reality, he knew that Zhao Jiapo wasn’t to blame for this situation.

Zhao Jiapo’s poor business performance was due to problems that had occurred in the management over the past two days.

Gu Ting turned his gaze to Yu Yi and the other two managers.

“Within these two days of managing and operating the store, you must have offended someone.”

“I need to know the details of these incidents now; there’s no time for you to cover them up here!”

“Now tell me about all the conflicts that have occurred!”
