Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Ahn Yu-jin has always been the one who cares most about Jang Won-young, and she is also the only one in the group who knows that Jang Won-young and Han Hee-joon are "acting".

Noticing Zhang Yuanying's unusual expression, An Youzhen whispered a reminder, "Don't let the children notice."

Zhang Yuanying quickly put away her phone, her expression changing dramatically as she relaxed her brows and pretended nothing had happened.

Han Xijun's reply was a text message telling Zhang Yuanying to go directly there.

It's understandable that Han Hee-joon is busy with work, but since the two are "dating," separating to attend important parties would make people think that the two are just in a normal relationship.

Jang Won-young's intention in sending the text message to Han Hee-joon was to take the opportunity to say that she had gone to Kakao Group ahead of time to wait for Han Hee-joon.

"Yujin, shouldn't we set off?"

Jin Qiutian called out to An Youzhen from not far away.

This afternoon, the members of IVE are going to shoot a pictorial for photocard production and comeback promotion for their upcoming third single album.

Ahn Yoo-jin gently nudged Jang Won-young and said, "Let's get back to work."

Zhang Yuanying nodded and said "Mm".

They set off from the company to Samseong-dong. On the way, Jang Won-young took a break and kept thinking about how to tell Han Hee-joon.

I can't really go there alone first.

Even though she had thought about where Chairman Jung's party would be tonight, Jang Won-young felt that she should wait for Han Hee-joon to arrive before going in together, and "stop" Han Hee-joon near the party venue first.

Zhang Yuanying was trying hard to recall.

Thinking back to the last time I invited Han Xijun to meet me at the restaurant my family ran, I wondered what the license plate number was on the white Volvo SUV he drove.

Before you knew it, it was evening.

After packing his things, Han Xijun took his car keys and left the office.

The destination was not Seoul, but Tongcheon County in Gangwonbuk-do.

It takes about two hours to drive there from Seoul if you're not very fast.

Han Hee-joon also heard it from Kim Bum-soo. Generally, the places where the chairmen of chaebol companies hold their gatherings and parties are high-end clubs or the top floors of some buildings.

Luxury hotels are rarely used for private gatherings.

Chairman Zheng chose Tongchuan County for the party because the Zheng family's hometown is there. There are no high-end clubs there, but the Zheng family has built a resort-style private residence there.

Han Xijun had just stepped into the elevator.

Immediately afterward, the staff in the large office became lively.

"I get off work at 5:48 today."

"Was it 5:50 yesterday?"

"No, I entered the elevator at 5:39 yesterday."

"Our team leader really hasn't been working overtime since he started dating."

"Oh, this is good for us. Our work is progressing smoothly and we don't have to stay in the office until eight o'clock every day to leave work."

Secretary's office area.

Baek Eun-hee is replying to Jang Won-young's message.

Something feels off.

Are Han Hee-joon and Jang Won-young dating? If so, Jang Won-young should have contacted Han Hee-joon directly; she wouldn't have tried to find out about him through her.

If not, why would Zhang Yuanying be waiting for Han Xijun at the company entrance again, and why would Han Xijun leave the company earlier than usual for three consecutive days?

The lobby of Kakao Group is located on the first floor.

There were many people coming and going, and indeed no one paid special attention to a person wearing a hat, a mask, and dressed very casually.

It's just that some people might glance at her if they see her and think she's tall, but they won't actually approach her to chat or anything.

Upon receiving the message from Baek Eun-hee, Jang Won-young was also grateful to have "one of her own" at the Kakao Group AI R&D Center.

Han Xijun has just left the office.

Zhang Yuanying's calculations were also about right. The party was starting at 7:30 p.m., and if you were driving from Seoul, you would have to leave around 5:30 p.m.

Zhang Yuanying was definitely thinking of arriving early.

It's better to arrive early and wait than to be late and arrive after everyone in high society has already arrived.

Not to mention that he is not an international superstar.

Even so, in H country, celebrities are nothing special in the eyes of the upper class. Therefore, Zhang Yuanying was waiting at the Kakao Group around 5:20.

Zhang Yuanying got up from the chair in the rest area and walked quickly outside.

She confirmed that Han Xijun's car was not parked in the parking lot in front of the building, guessing that Han Xijun would drive out of the garage, so Zhang Yuanying could wait for Han Xijun in advance at the garage entrance.

underground garage.

Han Xijun entered the navigation address and set off.

As they approached the exit, Han Xijun spotted a tall figure standing to the right rear of the gate.

Go over the pole.

Han Xijun slowed down the car.

The figure rapidly approached.

Han Xijun had already sensed that it was Zhang Yuanying.

咚咚

After knocking twice on the car window, Zhang Yuanying, who was sitting by the passenger side window, quickly pulled down her mask to reveal her face, then pointed to the passenger seat. Han Xijun let Zhang Yuanying get in the car.

Once inside the car, Zhang Yuanying quickly fastened her seatbelt and said, "Let's go."

She seemed afraid Han Xijun would kick her out of the car.

As the car merged into the main road, Zhang Yuanying took off her hat and mask, took out a makeup mirror from her bag, and began to touch up her makeup.

A few minutes later, Zhang Yuanying began to take off her clothes again.

Han Xijun, who was driving, then spoke up, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Yuanying explained, "I'm wearing my dress underneath; I'm getting ready first."

"Didn't I tell you to go there yourself?"

Zhang Yuanying's hands didn't stop moving; she was really bold.

Han Xijun's SUV doesn't have a privacy screen protector.

Passing vehicles might see Zhang Yuanying taking off her clothes in the passenger seat.

Han Xijun couldn't help but increase the car's speed. He took off his short-sleeved t-shirt, revealing a sexy white dress with only thin straps and a V-neck.

I also took off my casual pants and prepared a bag in advance to put my T-shirt and casual pants in.

After getting ready, Zhang Yuanying turned to Han Xijun, who was driving, and said, "I'm sorry, I took the liberty of coming to find you. The party tonight is very important, and I thought I should have come with you."

Han Xijun said slowly, "I should tell you first."

"What did you say?"

"I will explain to Chairman Zheng tonight that you and I are not in a romantic relationship."

"Huh? Why?"

"That's not true to begin with."

"But last time..."

Han Xijun said, "I will find a way to help you if I promise, but not in this way. Chairman Zheng just wants to get preferential treatment when cooperating. I have already spoken to our chairman. If Chairman Zheng is willing to give you the endorsement, I will give Hyundai Kia Group preferential treatment."

Zhang Yuanying was stunned for a long time.

It's not that I don't trust Han Xijun. Chairman Zheng told her to get close to Han Xijun and associate with him for his own benefit, and Han Xijun was absolutely right about that.

But if I fail to date Han Xijun as Chairman Zheng requested, will I still get the Hyundai Kia Group endorsement?

Also, Han Xijun agreed to pretend to be in a relationship with her, but why did he suddenly change his mind so soon?

Zhang Yuanying asked tentatively, "Does Han Xijun have a girlfriend?"
