I worked through twenty sleepless nights and polished more than a hundred drafts, pouring my heart and soul into a proposal for a promotion project.
After four years in the workplace and countless indignities endured, this was my only chance to turn things around, earn a promotion, and double my salary.
But the calculating intern Lin Mengyao stole my finished work in its entirety while I wasn't looking, then claimed all the credit!
