Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Wu Haiyuan had no scandals during his student days.

Jiang Huiyuan probably didn't hold anything back; the story of Ji-hoon, who plays soccer, was all he knew.

Actually, it was still early, and Han Xijun wanted to go to the football field to see the person named Ji Xun.

Unfortunately, the football match was scheduled for 2 PM and had already ended.

But that didn't stop Han Hee-joon from searching for a soccer player named Ji-hoon on his phone. His full name was Yoon Ji-hoon. After looking at his photos and information, Han Hee-joon became even more confident.

That's it?

Unless Wu Haiyuan has an eye problem, if he and Yin Zhixun stood in front of her and let her choose, she would definitely...

"Ji-hoon has completely changed; he wasn't like this in middle school."

"Ji-hoon? Why are you talking about him again?"

Jiang Huiyuan frantically gave Wu Haiyuan meaningful glances.

Wu Haiyuan pointed to the bus stop sign and said, "Is this him?"

Surprisingly, the scrolling "GG" (gifts) on the bus stop sign included promotional posters for Incheon United Football Club players. Ji-hoon's name was prominently displayed in the center of the poster, and he was also photographed in the center position.

Jiang Huiyuan quickly nudged Wu Haiyuan's junior and said, "Thank you for bringing me to the station. We'll meet again in Seoul."

Han Xijun looked at the scrolling GG card.

Wu Haiyuan held Jiang Huiyuan's hand and said, "Huiyuan, we will definitely meet in Seoul. I'll be waiting for you in Seoul in November."

"December?"

"Why didn't you come to Seoul before the college entrance exams were over?"

"Yes, yes, I also need to find a part-time job."

Wu Haiyuan turned to look at Han Xijun.

Han Hee-joon also turned his gaze away from the GG card and said with a smile, "I will arrange Hye-won-ssi's part-time job."

Wu Haiyuan said with a grin, "This meal wasn't for nothing, was it?"

Jiang Huiyuan said in a low voice, "But we only spent 42000 hwon for the three of us just to treat us to grilled mackerel."

Wu Haiyuan understood what Jiang Huiyuan meant. Asking for help usually involves the highest level of hospitality, including a meal and gifts.

It's all about complicated interpersonal relationships and social dynamics.

What's more, Han Xijun has connections like that, which can arrange part-time jobs for Jiang Huiyuan at large companies. This would make her resume, which will include several years of work experience at large companies, perfect for her job search after graduating from university.

I never dreamed that a mere 42000 h yuan grilled mackerel meal could solve my job problem.

Now Jiang Huiyuan understands why Wu Haiyuan made her treat him to dinner; her friend had already planned out her survival in Seoul from the very beginning.

The more professional they are, the more Jiang Huiyuan hopes that Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan can continue their relationship well until their wedding day, and she will definitely be a bridesmaid to witness their happy wedding.

He urged Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan to hurry up and go on a date somewhere else.

Wu Haiyuan insisted on watching Jiang Huiyuan board the bus before he would leave.

Waving.

The buses were already submerged in the surging traffic.

Han Xijun, resting his chin on his right hand, asked Wu Haiyuan, "It's still early, should we...?"

Wu Haiyuan turned around and said, "Are you crazy? Zhixun and I haven't seen or contacted each other for six or seven years. It would be awkward to suddenly ask him out, especially with his boyfriend. That's a bit much." Han Xijun's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "What?!"

Wu Haiyuan was stunned for a moment.

It seems, probably, that Han Hee-joon wasn't trying to say whether or not to meet with Yoon Ji-hoon.

It's over.

How could you say something like that?

Han Xijun will definitely be unhappy now.

"Have you heard Ive's new song 'Love Dive'?"

Wu Haiyuan tried to change the subject.

Looking around.

Music was playing in the convenience store behind the bus stop.

The TV hanging on the wall behind the cashier was playing the music video for the song "Love Dive".

Wu Haiyuan held Han Xijun's hand and said, "Has Zhang Yuanying contacted you recently?" Han Xijun knew exactly what Wu Haiyuan was thinking.

However, after realizing his mistake, Wu Haiyuan began frantically trying to make amends, as he felt that dwelling on a small detail would make him seem petty.

It's been said online that girls hate stingy guys the most.

Following Wu Haiyuan's words, Han Xijun asked, "Why did Zhang Yuanying contact me?"

"You're not trying to help her..."

Before he could finish speaking...

Han Xijun's phone beeped.

Han Xijun calmly took out his phone, assuming it was a work email; he usually started receiving emails around this time.

The pop-up message on my phone screen was a short message.

An unfamiliar phone number.

Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan saw it at the same time.

Wu Haiyuan didn't ask. Han Xijun unlocked his phone screen.

Han Xijun remembered the unfamiliar phone number that he hadn't saved; it was Zhang Yuanying's mobile number.

What a coincidence!

Just as Wu Haiyuan mentioned Zhang Yuanying, he received a message from Zhang Yuanying.

Han Xijun didn't lie to Wu Haiyuan. Since Chairman Zheng's private party at the old house, Han Xijun and Zhang Yuanying really hadn't contacted each other even once, not even by text message.

With a question in mind, Han Xijun opened the text message chat box.

A passage of text caught Han Xijun's eye.

Zhang Yuanying said that Hyundai-Kia Group has decided on a global spokesperson for their new flagship car in the fourth quarter, and it's not her, but a very famous actress from South Korea.

Han Xijun tried to understand the meaning of the text message.

Accountability?

It doesn't seem like it.

Complaining? Possibly.

He only said he would help Zhang Yuanying, but he didn't guarantee that Zhang Yuanying would become the global spokesperson for Hyundai-Kia's new flagship car.

Moreover, the new cars launched by Hyundai-Kia Group this year are still mainly traditional fuel-efficient, youthful, and streamlined gasoline vehicles.

Hyundai-Kia Group and Kakao Group want to collaborate on new energy vehicles. Even if there is an endorsement deal, they will only approach Zhang Yuanying once the new energy vehicle project is finalized.

At that time, Jang Won-young's influence in the global K-pop scene will be able to provide assistance.

Han Xijun told Wu Haiyuan directly, "It was a text message from Zhang Yuanying."

Wu Haiyuan actually had some guesses.

But I'm not sure.

It's also possible that the text message was sent to Han Xijun by another unfamiliar girl.

Wu Haiyuan suddenly remembered that Han Xijun was no ordinary person; those who liked him had repeatedly flooded the trending topics on social media.

Upon hearing that it was Zhang Yuanying, Wu Haiyuan simply asked, "What did she say?"

"They say the spokesperson for Hyundai and Kia's new cars is actress xxx." Wu Haiyuan said, "Isn't it her?"

"Maybe she will be the future of new energy vehicles."

"fine."

Are you envious?

"What do I envy? I'm not envious. Jang Won-young is currently the most popular idol of the fifth generation of idol groups, with overwhelming popularity."

"Do you think there's no use in being envious?"

"Isn't that right?"

Han Xijun didn't reply to Zhang Yuanying's text message. He put his phone back in his pocket, took Wu Haiyuan's hand, and said as they walked, "You can think of me as Aladdin's lamp in your life. Only you in the whole world can do that, really."

Knock knock knock, knock knock knock.

My heart is pounding.

Compared to those formulaic confessions, it was these unintentional sweet words that moved Wu Haiyuan.

She stole a glance at Han Xijun. This guy wasn't joking; he was serious.

Aladdin's lamp, is it the only one in the world who can use the lamp to make a wish?
