Chapter 439 Proofreading Job



When Gu An'an heard this conversation, the image of Mo Yun suddenly appeared in her mind.

Although she now has two part-time jobs, the newspaper job is easier and the pay is definitely higher than at school.

More importantly, interacting more with newspapers might even help you develop other side businesses.

However, if she continues to work as a librarian and a cafeteria worker, especially serving food, her room for advancement will be very limited.

However, everything depends on the job requirements; otherwise, it's all for nothing.

"Director Zhou, what kind of work are you short-staffed here?"

Upon hearing Gu An'an's voice, Director Zhou immediately shook his head. "Now that we're publishing more books, we don't have enough proofreaders. Even the editors have been pulled in to do the work."

"However, this job is not as technically demanding as translation. I definitely won't agree if you want to do it. It would be a waste of talent. You just need to finish translating the book I gave you."

Text proofreading? That's too easy for students at the University of Washington.

"Director Zhou, you're being too kind. I definitely don't have time to do that kind of work, but I have so many classmates. Maybe some of them will want to do a part-time job to earn some living expenses."

“If we find students to do part-time jobs, Director Zhou won’t have to worry about recruitment and placement. He can just give us a call if there’s work available.”

"I just don't know if they'll even look at us inexperienced students."

Director Zhou quickly waved his hand, "Little Gu, you've gone too far with this joke. How could I dare to look down on students from Huada University? Are these two the ones who want to do part-time jobs?"

Gu An'an looked at the two of them. Although she thought of Mo Yun first, the two of them had just arrived, so she definitely had to ask them.

Mayani was initially quite interested, but when she heard it was about pointing out typos, she started to feel a bit of a headache.

"Forget it, I can't sit still to do these things, so I'd better not trouble Director Zhou."

Nan Xiaoxiao nodded after listening, "An'an, Director Zhou, I want to give it a try."

Although she doesn't lack the money, life is about experiencing everything, and recently she has been envious of people like Mo Yun and Gu An'an who can earn their own money.

Since we finally have this opportunity, we definitely can't let it slip by.

Director Zhou immediately recognized Nan Xiaoxiao as someone who could settle down and work diligently, so he hired her right away and even gave her a lot of books to take back with her.

"Just bring it over once the proofreading is done, and we'll settle the payment monthly, okay?"

Nan Xiaoxiao had no objections.

"Director Zhou, do you need a few more people? I'll go back and ask around for you. If they're willing, I'll bring them over tomorrow."

"Could you introduce three more?"

“Okay, but one of them might not be from Huaqiao University. He’s from my hometown and studies at the University of Science and Technology. He’s also a freshman this year.”

Director Zhou waved his hand, "It's alright, as long as you're conscientious and responsible."

Having to take care of some business, the three of them had to cancel their plans to go out and have fun.

Wang Nian from Beijing University of Science and Technology visited the Xiao family as soon as he arrived and left the school's phone number.

Gu An'an called him immediately after leaving the newspaper office. Upon hearing that Gu An'an had found him a proofreading job, Wang Nian agreed without hesitation. They arranged to meet at the newspaper office the next day before returning to school.

Before she even reached her dorm room, Gu An'an saw Mo Yun heading to the cafeteria.

"Mo Yun, are you free? I need to tell you something."

"Yes! I'm just in charge of getting the food, and it's not time yet."

When Gu An'an mentioned that the newspaper was short of proofreaders, Mo Yun became excited.

"An'an, are you going to introduce me to a part-time job?"

Gu An'an nodded, "Yes, but I don't know if you'll be able to manage."

Mo Yun nodded quickly, "I'll be busy, I'll be busy. Not just anyone can do a part-time job at a newspaper. I'm really glad you thought of me. Don't worry! As long as I do the work, I'll definitely do it well!"

"Okay, you don't have class tomorrow morning, right? Shall we go to the newspaper office together?"

Mo Yun had no reason to disagree; he left with a grin on his face.

Seeing her like this, Tang Yani began to doubt herself, "How can she have so much energy every day!"

"If you were in her shoes, you might have done the same thing."

Gu An'an has seen too many girls being looked down upon, both in later generations and now.

Some people lose themselves in the daily contempt and gradually sink into depravity.

However, some people, like Mo Yun, are able to find a new life in dire straits and continuously improve their lives.

Therefore, Gu An'an was willing to lend her a hand.

"Then who should get the last spot?"

Gu An'an didn't really have a plan either. "Let's ask the girls in the dorm first and see if they want to go."

Hao Feifei wasn't interested in this, saying that her schedule was already full and she didn't have time, but Su Qing was quite interested.

And so, when Gu An'an took the three of them to the newspaper office, the editors all gave her grateful looks.

“An’an, when will you come next time? I’ll bring you some local specialties from my hometown.”

"You can wait until next time. I have some right here, Comrade Xiao Gu. This is dried meat sent by my relative. Take some back and have a taste."

When she left, Gu An'an had a net bag in her hand.

"Sister An'an, you're still as popular as ever, no matter where you are."

Mo Yun agreed with Wang Nian's words. "That's normal. I also like An An's personality. She has never looked down on me and has even tried to help me. I will remember this kindness."

She was the one who felt it most deeply. Although she usually seemed carefree, it was all a facade; she was actually quite vulnerable inside.

Gu An'an was one of the few people in her life who were kind to her without expecting anything in return.

Su Qing's family was also from a small town, but their conditions were much better than Mo Yun's. However, her feelings for Gu An'an were similar to those for the other two.

When she left home, her family told her to be careful and not to be taken advantage of, but she didn't see any cunning in Gu An'an.

He found them jobs, but never mentioned his own contribution.

Gu An'an liked this atmosphere. "I brought you here this year, but you'll have to do it yourselves from now on. Don't worry about the pay; Director Zhou said he'll settle it monthly and will definitely pay you on time."

The most important thing is to maintain high quality and complete the task within the stipulated time. If you are unable to complete it due to other commitments, just let Director Zhou know in advance.

Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem like a classmate or friend, but more like a mother, giving her instructions again out of concern.
