Chapter 60 The Persistence of Not Giving Up Despite Betrayal and Alienation (1)
“Rose! Maverick’s interview is out, did you see it?”
Work was busy, Lakisha was frantically greeting everyone.
Rose Rose Rose…
Rose pulled out a little bit of space from the pile of papers: “Haven’t seen it yet, what’s up Lakisha?”
Lakisha: What’s wrong? Can you care about yourself? What were you doing in the finance department, commanding an army?
Røse simply closed the document: “I was proofreading…”
After arriving at the finance department, Rose found herself in a strange state of busyness.
Lily Johnson was her new editor-in-chief, and the task assigned to her was proofreading. However, if she was only responsible for
proofreading within her own team, then it would be fine.
Rose couldn’t explain why… why in the end, the entire department’s proofreading tasks fell on her shoulders.
Ab bie was called “exercise” in a beautiful way.
“You used to be in the entertainment industry after all, and finance is a completely different field. If you want to familiarize yourself with it quickly, reading and studying more would be a shortcut. Start with a month of proofreading, and based on your proficiency, we will determine your final job direction.”
Because of her words, everyone in the department rushed to “help” her.

Whenever Rose protested, she told Lily that she couldn’t finish it.
Lily said in a voice that she didn’t know was gentle or weak, “If you can’t finish it, just work overtime. Who in our line of work still has a normal quitting time?”
Rose continued to argue with her. She became impatient and said, “Oh my goodness, do you understand finance? Have you ever had any experience with finance before? Besides proofreading, what else can you do here? If you make any mistakes in the finance department, can you take responsibility for it?”
Every time at this moment, other colleagues would kindly chime in with their opinions.
“Yeah, Rose, finance is not like entertainment. In entertainment, you can at most deal with those celebrities, even if they are powerful, they are just top stars. Arguing and bickering won’t do much harm. But in finance, every one of them is a heavyweight, one small mistake and they can strip you to the bone.”
“Didn’t you accidentally provoke Judson before? We all heard about the 13 million dollars incident… If something like that happens again, can you handle it?”
“Don’t expect to get rich overnight. Take it slow. The financial industry is complex, and without three to five years of experience, would you dare to write a check?”
“You are much luckier than us. When we first came, who had the fortune like you to start from proofreading and gradually learn and do things? We were all crossing the river by feeling the stones, living in constant fear and anxiety. Where did you find such stability now?”
Rose just wanted to ask if they wanted such blessings.

Proofreading is not just about reading the manuscript. According to the regulations of the Finance Department, after the first round of proofreading, if the error rate exceeds one per thousand during the second round of proofreading, fifty yuan will be deducted for each misspelled word, one hundred yuan will be deducted for each grammatical error, and two hundred yuan will be deducted for any issues with the accompanying illustrations.
The reporters in the finance department didn’t know whether it was intentional or just a habit, but the initial editing was practically non- existent, and the manuscripts that came to her were full of loopholes.
If Rose were even slightly absent-minded or careless, she wouldn’t know if her monthly salary would be enough to cover the deductions.
Might even have to pay out of pocket?
So…
She had no time to pay any attention to Maverick’s interview transcript.
When Lakisha found her, she was feeling dizzy and disoriented.
Setting aside what she was currently working on, Rose followed the link provided by Lakisha and opened the current issue of the e- magazine.
She quickly glanced at it and replied to Lakisha, “I’ve read it, there’s no problem, right?”
Lakisha was clearly furious, her nose was spewing fire: “Signature! Signature! Look at the signature! Oh my goodness… you are so audacious…”

Rose… Oh.
When she saw the signature on the article, no matter how broad- minded she was, she couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart.
What does it mean?
The article, signed with a series of author names,
The first place was taken by Lucy, followed by the second place group editor, Brook, who had a conflict with Lakisha. Lakisha, on the other hand, ranked third.
And she, was placed at the end.
Lakisha scolded, “Maverick’s article is of great value, and everyone wants to compete for this fame. Well, Lucy is the supervisor and it’s her idea for the topic, so it’s understandable that she wants a piece of it. But what did Brook do? Did he do something to Lucy?”
Rose was originally very serious, but when she heard the last sentence that Lakisha cursed, she almost couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Lakisha: “Moreover, the default reporter used to be ranked first, and now they have put you as the last one… Are they bullying you because you are no longer in the department?”
“Rose, you must make a scene about this! Right now, immediately! Go find Taiye!” Lakisha commanded.
Rose pretended to be a Buddha, “If they want it, just give it to them.”
She just wanted to see if they could afford it…
Lakisha fell backwards.
“Rose! Do you have any free time now? Come over, let’s find a place and have a good chat!”
“You don’t fight, I’ll go fight for you! I’ll go find Darrin!”
Rose: “Hey, wait a moment, there’s an urgent matter in the department, I might have to go out for a while…”
Lakisha: [……]
Rose looked up.
Someone in the department was calling her, “Rose, we just ordered bubble tea. Can you go and get it?”

Rose flashed a knowing smile that only those in the know would understand.
“Couldn’t the milk tea be brought up?”
“Ah, today was so busy that I accidentally ordered takeout. It’s just downstairs, could you please pick it up? It won’t take much of your time.” My colleague looked apologetic. “We have a deadline to meet here, so I would really appreciate your help…”
Okay, everyone was busy, except for her who was slacking off.
But Rose did want to stretch her muscles a bit.
She kept burying her head in proofreading, proofreading until she felt dizzy and her eyes were blurred.
She went downstairs and, at a milk tea shop not far from the company, sent a message to the department group.
I arrived, and the milk tea shop said we didn’t order.
Colleague: “Let me see… Oh! I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I, I chose the wrong store… It’s in another block… So b, it’s all my fault!”
Rose: “Then you went to get it yourself.”
Lily appeared: “Rose, could you go for a moment? Everyone is indeed busy today. Did you also have some milk tea?”
Rose: “I drank milk tea, so I didn’t do any work? I was also busy, I proofread all the articles from every department. You guys should take back the articles and distribute them to each school. I’ll run errands, otherwise whoever made the mistake should go.”
The entire department was silent.
Rose was about to go upstairs when Ab bie spoke.
It takes about forty minutes to go to another block to get bubble tea. Rose went to get some bubble tea and reduced the amount of proofreading for your article.
Rose asked, “Which one?”
Different articles have different lengths and different time frames.
Lily: “Isn’t it not good to be so calculative?”
Rose: “You need to make it clear, otherwise what will you do if you come back and fight?”
All the doors were silent, with not even a sound of a crow.
Rose: Have we discussed it? I have been waiting for the elevator.
Lily: “You can choose one yourself…”
Rose chose the longest one without hesitation.
What’s the point of being polite? Has anyone been polite to her?
Then she took a taxi to get bubble tea.
When she got off the car, she specifically asked the driver for a receipt, which she needed for reimbursement. If she didn’t get reimbursed, she would make a hundred copies of the invoice and plaster the entire Flourish Building with them.
At the milk tea shop, I looked at the piled up milk tea like mountains…..
Rose rubbed her forehead.
r
Finance is a major department of Flourish Media, with nearly sixty people in the department.
She called for another car, opened the trunk, and put the milk tea in it, lifting it up one by one.
…Rose felt like a milk tea peddler!
“Is this the great work that you ran away from home and endured alienation for?”
Suddenly, the man’s mocking voice sounded from behind.
