"Yes, yes, yes, you didn't pay her any mind. It's me who's curious. I want to know what this intern is like. Just satisfy my curiosity, I'm begging you." An Lan didn't expose Zhang Ya's little schemes, clasping her hands together in a pleading gesture.
Zhang Ya cleared her throat lightly, "You're the one insisting I tell you. It's not like I wanted to talk about it, okay? I did meet her though. Not sure if it was deliberate, but she tried to make me translate a project document. I told her to follow protocol and go to our translation department manager first, but she pulled the 'moral coercion' card on me."
An Lan knew that the translation department's bonuses were tied to salary.
Every translated document came with a set amount of bonus. To avoid disputes over unfair distribution, all documents requiring translation had to be passed through the department manager, who would then allocate them to her team accordingly.
