Standing in the Time Episode 24
Proofreading Section of Huning Press will be cancelled by the end of the month.
Someone said that the technology proofreading could replace the Proofreading Section today.
It's bullshit.
Layoffs or dissolution?
That's crazy.
Editor Wu advises us to organize a team building activity.
How did you learn to lie seriously now?
No.
Look at Zhou Zimo.
How did he treat his girlfriend?
You finally told the truth.
If so, you can date him.
Fine. Haochen, what are you doing?
Stop.
Haochen, don't create trouble, okay?
Mr. Lu, I don't create trouble.
It's just a game.
Why do we play games?
We are here for a team building activity.
Team building.
Build the team yourself.
Liu Haochen.
Xiao.
Emmy. Emmy.
You can quarrel, but you can't fight.
Calm down. Emmy.
Emmy. Emmy.
As I told you, it doesn't make sense to do this.
But you insisted.
Shi Lei, what do you mean?
Is it what you think?
Do you think the team building is meaningless?
Fine.
It's meaningful. It's meaningful.
Well, comrades. Comrades.
Well.
Since Director Xu retired, we have never taken group photos.
We have such a good chance today.
Let Editor Wu take a group photo for us.
OK?
OK. OK. OK.
OK. Come on.
Gather together.
Meimei, camera.
Ms. Shi.
Give me your camera.
Let's take group photos.
I'll light up for you.
Come on. Hurry up.
Wu Yu.
I'm not a professional.
You can do it.
Comrades. Hurry up.
Come over. Come over. Come over.
Come on. Let's take photos. Let's take photos.
Liang. Hurry up.
Liang. What are you doing?
Come over. Come over. Come over.
I'm really not a professional.
Come on. Let's gather together.
Come on. Liang. Quick.
What are you doing? Quick.
Well, say "cheese" after I count to three.
OK?
OK.
One, two, three.
Cheese.
Well, comrades, comrades, I want to say something.
Today
we Proofreading Section holds a team building activity.
It must be fate that lots of relatives and friends
who are not members of the Proofreading Section come.
Here, I want to thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
First, it's corny, but I would like to summarize the achievements of
our section in this year.
There are altogether seven employees on the payroll in our section.
This year, about 60 million words are proofread.
Each of us proofreads about 9,5 million words.
The fault tolerance rate is 1/400,000, far below the target of 1/200,000.
So I am really proud of every member of
the Proofreading Section here.
Thank you.
To express
their affirmation of our work,
the Publishing Press gave us two places for excellent employees.
I want to recommend Li Xiao
for the first place.
A young lady came to the Proofreading Section unintentionally,
but she still sticks to her post and becomes more and more outstanding.
Thank you, Li Xiao.
Treat us to dinner.
I want to recommend
Liang Yujie
for the second place.
Why do I recommend Liang Yujie?
We all know that he wants to be a literary editor, not a proofreader.
But his proofreading performance is second only to Shi Lei's.
So this place of excellent employee must be given to Liang Yujie.
Thank you, Liang Yujie, for your contribution to the proofreading career.
Thank you.
We insist on doing one thing
because we know
it must work
and it's right to do so.
Publishing Presss play the role of cultural protection
and dissemination in society,
and proofreading
is the last red line in the publishing industry.
Every one of us knows the significance of proofreading.
In the new year,
I believe
the Proofreading Section will get better and better.
Well, Haochen, give me the wine.
A toast to you.
Come on.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
You've been working very hard.
Zimo, you know what?
I miss my school days very much now.
It seems that I have never participated in group activities
since I graduated from school.
In fact, I don't get on well with others from childhood.
And I seldom participate in group activities.
If there are many people, I feel it's noisy.
Did you have a good time today?
Did it affect you when we played CS during the day?
No.
It's good to be noisy occasionally.
But for you, I would be lonely.
You really think so?
Thank you, Xiao.
Thank you for appearing in my life.
Didn't you keep asking me
if we were going to be far apart
if my career went up?
I assure you
the answer is no,
because I'm going to take you to more
beautiful and romantic places.
Zimo, let's close our eyes together.
You come to me silently,
Let's feel it together.
Wherever we go in the future,
as long as we are together,
it's the most beautiful and romantic place.
This is my pink secret.
I see myself smiling
in your eyes.
You're the answer to my riddle.
The answer is crystal clear and transparent.
I want to get close to you
Little by little, day by day.
Sweetness is accumulated
Little by little, day by day.
I like you surrounding me with your two arms.
Let me melt in your breath.
Time becomes memory Little by little, day by day.
We become intimate
Little by little, day by day.
I don't want happiness to come in an earthshaking way.
I just want a touch of beauty.
Suddenly you appear,
like the weather clears up immediately after the rain.
Gentle heart opens for you.
It's no longer a secret.
I know that in your heart…
Dad, it's so beautiful.
Yeah.
Wait quietly for your response until you hold my hand tightly.
I want to get close to you
Little by little, day by day.
Sweetness is accumulated
Dad, why did you ask me to tell others you were an editor?
I must tell my classmates after I go back to school that
my dad is a proofreader.
The Proofreading Section is interesting.
…your breath.
Time becomes memory
Little by little, day by day.
We become intimate
Little by little, day by day.
I don't want happiness to come in an earthshaking way.
I just want a touch of beauty.
You are romantic.
Thank you.
Hello.
Hello. Is that Xia Fan?
What's wrong, Chen?
Your mom is in bad condition now.
You'd better come here.
Is she serious?
You'd better come here.
OK. Wait for me.
What happened?
I'm in a hurry now.
I have to return to the city immediately.
Immediately?
Don't worry.
I will try to get a car and drive you back.
Don't worry. It won't be long.
What happened?
It's been a day.
She eats nothing.
She doesn't cooperate with us.
Please heat the food again.
I'm afraid she'll be hungry after she wakes up.
OK.
She's sleeping?
Thank you for what you did today.
Don't hesitate to tell me if you need my help.
In that year when I was about to
take the college entrance examination,
my dad was afraid that I was under a lot of pressure,
so he drove my mom and I to have fun by the sea.
On the way back that day,
on that passageway, there was a truck in front of us.
My mother protected me at that time.
After she came to herself at the hospital,
she knew that my dad died.
At that time, she couldn't bear it.
She was greatly stimulated
and just remembered what happened before the accident.
She was mentally ill,
and then she suffered poor health.
Gradually, she becomes what she is.
So, so
I can't have someone accompany me all the time.
If he accompanies me all the time, is nice to me and loves me,
if he dies one day,
I won't be able to take it.
So I don't want anyone to accompany me.
Thank you
for telling me these things.
Morning.
Li Xiao.
You sacred me. What's wrong?
You didn't sleep well last night?
I was too busy before.
As I relaxed in the team building activity, I couldn't bear it.
Help me give this to Liu Haochen.
Do it yourself.
Why do you ask me to do that?
You don't want to see him?
Do you want to help me?
Yes.
Don't tell him I bought it.
You're still angry, but you bought breakfast for him.
You spoil him.
He's a big boy.
What can I do?
OK. Big boy.
Where is my breakfast?
Go to work now.
Well, comrades, I want to say something.
Well, stop what you're doing.
Here is the thing.
The annual Southern Book Fair will come soon.
The key book for the fair of our Publishing Press has been finalized.
It's this series of Cultural Relics Atlas.
Next, we will devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the proofreading of
this set of books.
I have set a goal for you.
Control the error rate at zero.
Do you have confidence?
It's too strict, Mr. Lu.
The error rate of 1/200,000 is already good.
But if we accomplish it, we'll be the benchmark of the Publishing Presss
and proofreading model.
Then
the Proofreading Section won't be dissolved.
Can zero error be accomplished?
Back then, when we proofread Encyclopedia, we made no mistakes.
We were on the news.
At that time, we were popular.
Li Xiao, you're responsible for the first-time proofreading of Book on Enamel
of the series of Cultural Relics Atlas.
OK.
Lu, if Director Xu was here, she wouldn't arrange the work like this.
How can Li Xiao complete the difficult proofreading?
Director Xu?
You mean Granny Brooch?
If she was here, she would trust me.
Li Xiao, you still call me "granny"?
How do you call Liu Haochen then?
Director Xu.
Ms. Xu, what brings you here?
It's such a good thing that I have to join in the fun.
I am not welcome here?
Not at all.
We would like to thank you for your trust in us.
Don't make polite remarks.
Where is Liu Haochen? He hasn't come?
Haochen...
He has come.
He's in the washroom.
He's not feeling well in the stomach today.
You are deceiving me for his sake.
Emmy, here you are.
Aqua cream of Ribecs.
I liked it when I read RESA before.
I have used it, and it's good.
I have bought a lot.
This is for you.
Do you think love can moisturize?
All parcels are delivered to the departments.
Your parcels are not here.
What did you just say?
You are late already.
Leave if you have nothing to do here.
Don't interfere with my work here.
Hey… Ella. Ella.
Is it used in the morning and in the evening?
Yeah. It can be used in the morning and in the evening.
It's a moisturizer.
Does it suit my skin?
Can I use it?
Of course.
I think it's very good.
Half an hour late means absenteeism.
As his leader, you don't criticize him but harbor him.
Liu Haochen.
Mom.
As I told you, there are only superiors and subordinates in the section.
Tell me why you are late.
Last night, I met some friends.
I went to bed late, so I couldn't get up in the morning.
If it happens again, pack your things and leave.
I know, Mom.
I know, Ms. Xu.
I'll go back to my seat.
Proofreading is a very rigorous job.
You can't be slack.
I transferred you here at that time.
You can't muddle along.
What's in your hand?
What are you hiding?
Breakfast.
I haven't had breakfast.
You don't eat breakfast at home but eat it in the section.
This is a proofreading table.
It's not for food.
Who bought it for you?
Who bought breakfast for him?
Who bought it for you?
Mom, why do you even care about it?
Let me repeat it.
The series of Ming and Qing Cultural Relics Atlas are the most important books
for our Publishing Press to attend the Southern Book Fair.
Time is tight and the task is heavy.
But I'm sure you will do a great job.
Lu.
Ms. Xu, go ahead.
Apart from his normal work, assign Liu Haochen to do the three routine jobs.
Well,
the pressure may be a little bit…
Young people need to do more.
Only in this way will they be trained.
You were trained in the same way back then.
Well, Ms. Xu, Li Xiao came later than me.
Why doesn't she…
OK.
It's a deal then.
Haochen will do that.
OK. Do your work then.
I won't disturb you.
OK. Ms. Xu.
Well, come to get your books.
Well. Fetch your own books. Quick.
Book on Enamel. Yeah. Li Xiao.
Give me the car key.
I'll give it back to you when you finish the work this time.
This work is very important.
Don't run around.
Mom.
Give it to me.
Well, Niu, I'm leaving.
Bye, Director Xu.
Continue your work.
You've been working very hard.
Ms. Xu, take care.
OK.
OK. Don't worry.
We will fulfill the task.
After the re-edition signing session of A Footless Insect,
the brand side will hold an evening dinner.
After the evening dinner is a small party.
It takes half an hour to get there from the signing session.
There's enough time.
I'll take the dress for dinner to the site of the signing session.
But I'm a model.
I don't have to go to these evening dinners and parties.
At the worst, send my photos to the other party.
Settle whatever we can.
Who do you think you are?
You really think of yourself as a big shot?
If you don't engage in social activities, who will sign contracts with you?
But it's not my job.
Zhou Zimo,
if nobody in the industry knows you, you will make no progress.
You have to let more people know and recognize you.
Then you will have better job opportunities.
Do you understand?
Can we sign the contract if I go there?
It depends, but we can never sign the contract if you don't go.
Think it over.
I have a bad day today.
Why am I so unlucky?
-Why am I so unlucky? -Liu Haochen, work quickly. Be quiet.
Otherwise your mom will scold you again.
Ms. Shi, this proofreading is much more difficult than before.
There are all antiques and academic terms.
Even if I have to proofread the wrong words, I'm not sure about some of them.
What should I do?
In the reference room, you should be able to find some references.
If you have questions, check references.
You can also check online.
This kind of manuscript tests the proofreader's ability
and meticulousness most.
These professional books are really difficult for green hands like you.
But take your time.
Practice slowly.
Well, I remember there is an exhibition of enamel in the museum recently.
You can go to check it out after work.
OK.
It must be helpful to you.
Haochen,
cheer up.
These are yours.
Mr. Lu.
Come on.
Hello. Who are you?
I am Xia Fan's friend.
OK. Give it to me.
Thank you.
Mrs. Xia,
I'm Wu Yu, Xia Fan's colleague.
I come to visit you.
Do you feel any better?
You're back.
Yeah, I'm back.
I have brought you a bunch of flowers.
With some flowers in the room, it's good for your mood and body.
She's always been like that.
Really?
Xia Fan was still like her father when she was a child.
Right, Mrs. Xia?
Sir, please come with me.
Sorry.
Did I just say something wrong?
I shouldn't
have mentioned…
What you said
stimulates her easily.
So try not to mention it again in the future.
I thought we could talk to her about the past to help her recover her memory.
That's all for today's visit.
She needs a rest.
Sorry.
It's OK.
Try not to mention it again in the future.
I see.
Well, you're Xia Fan's boyfriend, right?
I…
Come to accompany her if you have time.
If you accompany her, she will be better.
It's good for her.
I see.
I'll come when I have time.
If you have questions, you can look them up in the dictionary.
Mr. Lu, do you have tea leaves?
It's on my desk. Help yourself.
OK.
And look.
Li Xiao, bring me the reference book.
Well, Mr. Lu, I don't understand this.
Do you check references?
If you have questions, check references.
There are so many things in our database.
Check them.
OK. I will check again.
You are not as good as Li Xiao.
And here.
OK.
Don't think about speculating in stocks every day.
It isn't a big deal.
Improve, you know?
Tell me what to do.
Mr. Lu, who is Wu Weimin?
Well, where did you find it?
In this list of third-time proofreading, Wu Weimin is responsible for
the third-time proofreading of Li Xiao's "Book on Enamel."
Well…
Why are you looking at me?
Stop looking at me.
Time is tight and the task is heavy.
Work quickly.
Mr. Lu, is what Liang said true?
Mr. Lu, didn't we agree to unite in the team building activity?
Work on our own.
Nowadays, more and more publications are outsourced for proofreading
in Publishing Presss.
There are also getting more and more news
about the dissolution of the Proofreading Section in the Publishing Press.
This proofreading is so important.
The superiors have paid much attention to it.
You have outsourced the third-time proofreading?
Yeah. Mr. Lu, the Proofreading Section doesn't have many members,
but we are the best of the best.
You, I, Shi Lei and Liang.
We are well qualified for the third-time proofreading.
Why do you outsource it?
Yeah. Mr. Lu, If you think you are short of men and can't manage all this,
I can work overtime.
You can give me one more manuscript for proofreading.
I have told my husband.
The nurse will take care of my family.
I can work overtime.
Mr. Shi, no problem.
Mr. Shi, you can arrange more work for me.
I'm quite skilled in business now.
So is Haochen.
Right, Haochen?
Yeah.
Anyway, my mom doesn't give me money.
Since I have come here, I will work wholeheartedly.
I can proofread more manuscripts.
Mr. Lu,
I have always respected you,
but I can't stand today.
If you think you can't work as a director,
I will proofread Book on Enamel for the third time.
Liang, what are you talking about?
Come back.
Mr. Lu, sorry.
I said
something rude.
But you can outsource the first-time and second-time proofreading.
How can you outsource the third-time proofreading as well?
I know
how you feel.
Seeing the cohesion of
our section,
I'm relieved.
I really am.
Liang,
it's the first time
you've ever talked to me like this.
I don't blame you,
because it's for the sake of our section.
It's good.
Well, I have my reasons
for doing so.
So I hope you can understand me.
And
I will
make a promise here.
Anything I do
will not harm proofreading
or affect the future of our section.
Well,
that's all.
Mr. Lu, you can tell us why directly.
Mr. Lu.
Why?
I was just
criticized by them.
You come alone to scold me again?
Lower your voice when you scold me.
After all, I'm a leader.
Don't embarrass me.
What happened to you?
Don't bear it by yourself.
Tell us.
Our section has so many members.
Let's solve the problem together.
Don't worry.
I'm all right.
What are you going to eat with Haochen after work today?
Don't mention him to me.
Why?
You haven't been reconciled with each other?
Here he is.
What are you doing here?
We have been off duty. What do you want to eat?
I'll eat alone.
How about
eating together?
I don't have time.
I'm wrong.
I'm really wrong.
Do whatever you want.
Don't bother me, will you?
Ai Xiaomin, I'm wrong.
I am really wrong.
Tell me what to do so that you will forgive me.
Ai Xiaomin, tell me what to do so that you will forgive me.
Tell me.
Are you crazy?
It's embarrassing, Liu Haochen.
I don't think so.
What embarrasses me is that I fail to make you happy
although I have tried so many days.
Talk nicely.
What are you looking at?
Haven't you seen lovers quarrel after work before?
Ella, be sensible.
I have to go.
Leave me alone.
I don't want to talk to you.
Don't be so childish.
I gave you so many hero skins in the game.
Once you got online, you totally ignored me.
I felt sad.
Do you notice my rank has fallen directly from the king to platinum.
Have a good time in the game.
It's good to play the game all your life.
Ai Xiaomin,
don't go too far.
Today, my mom scolded me in front of the members of my section.
She also asked me about breakfast.
I didn't dare to say anything.
Well, I'm wrong.
Next time I will protect you.
It's all right that you act like a spoilt child,
but you have to care about my feelings.
What did your mother ask?
