Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Han Xijun's mother took him to the underground parking garage.

Looking at the new car that had just been driven back, and listening to Han Xijun explain why he bought the new car, his mother praised Han Xijun for being very thoughtful.

This was the first time Han Xijun had heard such thoughtful praise from his mother; he never imagined it was because she had applied anti-peeping window film to his new car.

Before setting off, Han Xijun rolled down the car window.

Standing next to the driver's seat, Mom instructed, "Be careful on the road, pick him up early, I'll take care of your dad."

Han Xijun was completely confused.

How to win over Dad?

Does Dad treat his girlfriend who brings him home for the first time like Wu Haiyuan's father does?

How could that be?

Generally speaking, if a son brings his girlfriend home, his parents are overjoyed.

Parents only feel the terrible feeling of having their carefully nurtured cabbage for decades being eaten by a pig when their child is their daughter.

Han Xijun understood Wu Haiyuan's father for this reason. Imagine if he had a daughter who was well-behaved from a young age, and then suddenly got tricked by a strange man in her twenties, Han Xijun couldn't guarantee what his state of mind would be at that time.

The streets of Incheon in the morning are pretty much the same as those in Seoul.

After the morning rush hour, the streets were deserted, and many shops were still closed.

Maintaining a speed of around 40 km/h, with the car window open, Han Xijun leisurely headed towards Wu Haiyuan's house.

At the same time.

Wu Haiyuan's home.

There were seven or eight sets of clothes on the bed.

Wu Haiyuan's mother accompanied him as he made his selections.

"I don't have many clothes."

These words were not spoken by Wu Haiyuan, but by his mother.

Wu Haiyuan reassured her, "Mom, how could there be no clothes? There are so many!"

"None of these are suitable. I should have gone to the mall to buy new clothes yesterday," Wu Haiyuan said with a smile. "There's no need. These clothes are all from the last two years."

Mom picked up a piece of clothing at random and asked, "Are you sure this is from the last two years? I remember this being your clothes when you were 16 and in your first year of high school?"

Most of the clothes at home were from before, and Wu Haiyuan took all the new clothes he bought in the last two years with him when he moved to the dormitory.

After looking around, Mom felt it was too student-like.

Wu Haiyuan had a sudden inspiration and chuckled as he picked out a set of clothes.

Student vibe.

That's great.

Give Han Xijun a surprise.

Perhaps it was fright.

Never mind, it's bound to be fun.

After changing her clothes, Wu Haiyuan tied her hair back into a ponytail.

Mom always thought long, flowing hair looked better. Wu Haiyuan had already gotten a slightly wavy hairstyle at the salon, and with makeup, she was definitely a pure and beautiful girl. *Ding*

The SMS notification sound has gone off.

The mother became even more agitated and pressed, "Did Hee-joon send you a message?"

Wu Haiyuan didn't even look at his phone, replying, "I don't know, it might be the members."

"The members? They contacted you so early?"

"Mom, it's getting late. We usually start our day of practice at the company."

"Oh dear, Haiyuan really works hard."

Wu Haiyuan sighed and said, "Yes, Dad used to say that studying was the easiest thing to do, and I didn't believe it. But now I do. Actually, Dad was right."

Mom laughed and said, "That's because you inherited my intelligence, while the other child in Huilan's family who is the same age as you is struggling with school."

"real?"

"Hmm, I heard that after enrolling in Konkuk University, students often experience difficulty keeping up with their studies and sleep, leading to hair loss. You haven't experienced this, have you?"

Wu Haiyuan tossed his hair confidently and said, "Of course not. I can fall asleep as soon as I get home from get off work. I have so much hair that I want to cut it short, but the company won't allow it." His mother immediately objected, "No way! You look beautiful with long hair. You absolutely mustn't cut it short."

Wu Haiyuan muttered, "The kind with shoulder-length short hair, Mom, really. My sister can have short hair, but I can't."

Apartment entrance.

Han Xijun turned on his hazard lights and peered through the windshield at the building on his right.

He considered whether he should go up to find Wu Haiyuan.

We're already at the apartment entrance, and we're not strangers, so out of politeness we should just go upstairs.

I also felt that I hadn't mentioned going upstairs beforehand, and that going would be a bother.

Wu Haiyuan's father got drunk yesterday and is probably still sleeping today.

Holding his phone, Han Xijun browsed web pages for news about technology and artificial intelligence while waiting.

Han Xijun would also click to read any news about the latest developments of Kakao or other large companies.

Both Hyundai-Kia Group and S Group have plans for new departments related to AI (Artificial Intelligence).

The group's core business is its traditional industry, which also holds a significant share of the global market. However, recognizing the imminent arrival of the new energy and new technology era, the company cannot afford to remain passive and vulnerable without taking action – a situation that is absolutely unacceptable for a large enterprise.

Han Hee-joon also saw the news about KG Group.

Following the acquisition of Daewoo Motors, the chairman of KG Group made a recent appearance in Shenzhen, China.

The signal is very clear.

In China, former gasoline-powered vehicle manufacturers have completed industrial upgrading and transformation in a very short period of time.

They must have received a warning from the top management of China.

For automobile companies, both the US market and the Chinese market are important markets.

Compared to the market share of light-duty fuel vehicles in the US and other European and American countries, the Chinese market has been the most valued by all Chinese automakers over the past few decades.

I considered entering the adult entertainment market, but the reality is very difficult.

Therefore, the primary task for Chinese automakers at this stage is to upgrade and transform their products and consolidate their market share, which is based on the brand foundation they have already established in the market.

This is also the reason why Hyundai Group and Kakao Group promoted cooperation.

The artificial intelligence developed by Han Xijun's team will definitely be used in new energy vehicles. Combining it with traditional brands and controlling the overall price will give them a certain advantage. *Clang!*

Hearing the knocking on the car window, Han Xijun put down his phone and turned to look at the passenger seat.

His eyes widened instantly.

I could hardly believe what I was seeing.

Wu Haiyuan turned around once in the middle of the passenger seat.

It wasn't Han Xijun who made her spin around.

Wu Haiyuan read from Han Xijun's expression and shocked eyes that he was being asked to take the initiative to show his skills.

Splash!

With the car window rolled down, Han Xijun asked, "What style is this?"

Wu Haiyuan chuckled and said, "A student style? How about it? Does it suit you?"

The question wasn't whether Han Xijun liked it or not, but whether it was suitable.

Han Xijun hesitated, then paused, saying "Ah" for a moment before giving a thumbs-up and saying, "It's very suitable, but there's one problem."

Wu Haiyuan smoothed her high ponytail and asked, "What's the problem?"

Han Xijun's gaze never left Wu Haiyuan as he slowly asked, "Aren't you hot?"

The weather is nice.

22 degrees.

Wu Haiyuan checked the weather forecast that morning.

Han Xijun gestured, "Let's get in the car first."

Wu Haiyuan opened the car door and got in.

Han Xijun continued staring at Wu Haiyuan, and couldn't help but ask, "Are those overalls really yours?"
