After completing the task, Tianmiao returned to the Heavenly Dao Palace, and as usual, went to check if her mother had left seclusion. Her mother was still in seclusion, and Tianmiao stood in front of the secret chamber’s door for a long time before turning to the Heavenly Dao Office.
She walked into the elevator, pressed the button for the fifteenth floor, and planned to find Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan. At this time, Luo Yunyi had not ascended yet, but judging by the time, it wouldn’t be long now.
Just after entering the elevator, a woman with a cold expression followed closely behind. She wore a suit, high heels, and black-rimmed glasses. Her beautiful face was devoid of warmth, her whole demeanor screaming "Do Not Approach." Other employees seeing her slightly hesitated, not entering the elevator. Apparently, they preferred to wait for the next one rather than ride with this woman. Thus, only Tianmiao and this woman were in the elevator.
"Oh, Hong Rong." Tianmiao, however, had no such reservations, greeting Hong Rong with a full smile.
"Little Boss." The icy woman simply nodded lightly.
This woman, exuding a cold aura, was none other than Hong Rong, who worked on the thirtieth floor. Who is Hong Rong? She’s a cold-faced lady, swift and decisive in her work, with an extremely serious and rigorous work attitude, and a strictly formal style. Everyone feels a bit intimidated just by looking at her. People have said she was so beautiful that she almost twisted their heads off when they remarked she was not serious or proper. (From the tale "Heavenly Prodigy" Chapters 17 to 25.)
"Sister Hong Rong, anything good in the world you just visited?" Tianmiao pressed the elevator button, the fifteenth floor.
"No," Hong Rong replied coldly, pressing the thirtieth floor.
"I brought something nice for you." Tianmiao hadn’t even taken it out before Hong Rong coldly refused.
"No need. Little Boss, just do your work well, no need for any gifts." Hong Rong’s tone was very cold and unfeeling. A workaholic, it’s always about work!
"Ah, in that case, I’ll give it to someone else." Tianmiao said leisurely.
"As you wish." Hong Rong didn’t even turn her head, maintaining a cold tone.
"Oh, what a pity. This gift is very special, it’s a story about a beautiful woman named Shangwu, who blew up a fool’s head and fell for a young hunk." Tianmiao sighed, "But when she blew up that fool’s head, she scared the young hunk into a quail. Poor thing."
Hong Rong suddenly turned her head with a click, making Tianmiao wonder if her neck was still intact. Hong Rong’s previously expressionless face was now full of alarm.
"L-Little Boss, what did you just say the gift was?" Hong Rong tried hard to squeeze out a smile, asking with difficulty.
"You didn’t want it, so I had to give it to someone else," Tianmiao replied with a smile.
"No, Little Boss, let’s talk this over. I did find some great things in the Great World this time. I’ll sort them out and bring them to you personally." At this moment, Hong Rong had none of her previous coldness and ruthlessness, her beautiful face full of an ingratiating smile, even tearing up a bit. The speed of her change in demeanor left Tianmiao in awe.
"Alright then, I’ll give you this gift. Just for you." Tianmiao generously handed the Recording Stone to Hong Rong, "You can watch it slowly at home."
"Thank you, Little Boss." Hong Rong was extremely grateful.
With a ding, the elevator stopped at the fifteenth floor.
"Ah, Sister Hong Rong, this gift is just a small surprise, there will be bigger surprises in the future." Tianmiao stepped out of the elevator with an enigmatic smile, saying to Hong Rong before the elevator doors closed.
