The Historian Pan highly praised Xia Honghua, saying her accounts here are the best among the sect's departments and that she would soon be rewarded with official recognition.
Xia Honghua originally just wanted to pass the inspection, but she unexpectedly became the top scorer, and she was overjoyed.
Xia Honghua specifically rewarded Duan Rong with twenty contribution points, and Duan Rong was naturally delighted to earn more.
With the Historian Pan's praise, Duan Rong's position with Xia Honghua became quite secure.
Originally, Xia Honghua was contemplating replacing Duan Rong, given that Duan Rong only worked two hours a day and often slacked off, which irritated Xia Honghua greatly.
With Historian Pan's praise, Xia Honghua, even if willing, dared not replace him, fearing that a replacement might not be as good as Duan Rong, which could ruin the good impression painstakingly established with Historian Pan by the year-end audit!
