"Are you here to be an employee too?" Lin Duoduo glanced sideways at Tuoba Wu, "Are you here to freeload on sweets or to get to work?"
"Oh, don’t say it like that. A bit of both, a bit of both." Tuoba Wu replied with an awkward smile.
"Alright, then we’ll go back together. Once we get to the store, take a look at the agreement first, and if it suits you, then sign it." Tianmiao said with a smile.
"Is Lin Duoduo an employee too?" Tuoba Wu asked.
"Yes, the first employee of the Heavenly Dao Affairs Office."
"Then I’ll be the second. She’s signed, so I’m okay with it too." Tuoba Wu promised, patting his chest.
"Great, let’s go then."
"Hey, Tuoba Wu, don’t forget you promised to treat me to a meal." Since Tuoba Wu was likely to be a colleague, Lin Duoduo’s attitude towards him improved significantly.
"No problem, no problem. Ah, the reward has arrived this time. Tsk, a consortium is truly wealthy." Tuoba Wu looked at his phone notification and clicked his tongue.
Meanwhile, notifications sounded on the phones of Tianmiao, Lin Duoduo, and Mo Bai Ning, indicating their rewards had been credited. Tianmiao’s reward was ten million more than theirs. Clearly, the young lady favored Tianmiao greatly, thus ensuring Tianmiao received a higher payment.
Suddenly, Mo Bai Ning looked at Tianmiao and asked, "Can I join your office? But when taking on assignments, I want more freedom."
"You want to join too? No problem, you all can freely choose your assignments." Tianmiao was somewhat surprised by Mo Bai Ning’s attitude.
"Alright." Mo Bai Ning nodded.
Just like that, it was Tianmiao and Lin Duoduo who initially left, and now there were four of them returning.
"Wow, Tianmiao, your store is on Paradise Street here. Haha, I like it, I like it. There’s a candy store just a few shops down with lots of classic candies and chocolates." Tuoba Wu commented happily as he looked at Tianmiao’s office.
"Did you ever have cavities when you were a kid?" Lin Duoduo suddenly asked.
"Of course not, I brush my teeth diligently." Tuoba Wu defended, "You can eat sweets, but you must brush your teeth clean after eating them."
"You’re quite the good little boy then." Lin Duoduo scoffed.
"Obviously." As Tuoba Wu entered the office, he curiously looked around.
Tianmiao introduced Kong Hou and Dong Xiao, after which Dong Xiao took the three of them to their living quarters.
Tianmiao, meanwhile, sat on the sofa, sipping on the drink Kong Hou had brought over, and asked, "Has the shopkeeper next door returned?"
"Not yet. But she should arrive tonight." Kong Hou replied.
"Make sure to go early to queue tomorrow." Tianmiao instructed.
"No problem. We bought our shop here precisely to gain an advantage from being close by." After speaking, Kong Hou grew curious, "Is the shopkeeper’s food really that delicious?"
"You’ll find out if you try it tomorrow." Tianmiao sounded quite expectant.
Next door was a snack shop, but the owner wasn’t an ordinary person; she was a Demon Exorcist who specialized in using various edible demons as ingredients. The shop next door was run by her, and it often opens only once in ten days, sometimes more. When it opens, a large crowd always queues to buy. She doesn’t accept any reservations, and whenever she opens, she sells out and immediately closes the shop. Then she goes out searching for new ingredients again.
The things she sells are expensive, yet they are always in short supply. Many come from afar to wait for her to open.
Tianmiao hadn’t tried them yet, so she was eagerly awaiting the shopkeeper to open her business tomorrow.
