Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

After hearing Han Xijun explain why they had come here to eat before, Wu Zhiyuan immediately understood why the president had come to the private room to greet them.

That would be Han Hee-joon.

Any parent would imagine what it would be like to see their daughter bring home such an outstanding young man.

Given the president's attitude towards Han Hee-joon just now, it's clear he was also trying to confirm the situation for Jang Won-young.

However, the president was quite polite and maintained a very good demeanor.

Even though it was confirmed that Han Xijun was dating Wu Haiyuan, he didn't show any unusual expression on the surface.

Wu Zhiyuan jokingly said to Han Xijun, "I bet the president won't tell his daughter that you and my sister are dating."

Han Xijun didn't know how to respond.

Actually, whether you say it or not doesn't really matter.

His relationship with Jang Won-young was that of acquaintances and friends. It was Han Hee-joon who suggested the idea of ​​being friends. It was useful, very useful. At least after the idea of ​​being friends was proposed, Han Hee-joon no longer received Jang Won-young's text message greetings every day at the same time.

This is also a good thing for Zhang Yuanying. She is already a highly regarded new-era idol, and she is very busy. Instead of wasting time on herself, she should think of other ways to realize her ambitions.

Of course, if Han Hee-joon needs help in any way, he will help if he can. That's a promise.

Han Xijun is a man of his word.

After the brief incident, Han Hee-joon accompanied Oh Ji-won out of the private room to the restaurant entrance to wait for the executive director of SK Hynix and his entourage.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the three cars slowly came to a stop.

Those are the people who attended the meeting.

Seeing Han Xijun waiting for them at the door, they quickened their pace, wanting to give Han Xijun face in a formal way.

Especially the executive director of SK Hynix.

While walking side by side with Han Xijun towards the private room, he didn't forget to chat with Wu Zhiyuan for a few minutes.

I didn't know before that there was an employee named Wu Zhiyuan in the SK Hynix CDO department. Today I found out, and not only did I know, but I also have a deep impression of him.

This employee is very perceptive and understands workplace dynamics. More importantly, this employee is Han Xijun's acknowledged older sister.

The collaboration between SK Hynix and Kakao Group is of paramount importance to the core chip business of the entire SK Group in the coming years.

As one of the leading companies providing memory chips in the market, SK Hynix needs to rely on the increasingly integrated AI (artificial intelligence) sector to achieve even greater success on its existing foundation. Once the large-scale model being developed by Han Hee-joon and his team yields results, SK Hynix's chip industry will expand beyond simply supplying graphics card core components to companies like Nvidia. The increased computing power required for AI will enable the development of more products, inevitably leading to increased revenue.

This is not a gamble, but a clear prediction of the future market.

Therefore, for companies like SK Hynix, whose core business is the chip industry, Samsung Group, and large enterprises that want to expand into the new energy and artificial intelligence business sectors, Han Hee-joon is not just a team leader in a department of Kakao Group. His professional identity is the least noteworthy label on Han Hee-joon.

At least for now, the leading figure who can represent the breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence in H country is Han Hee-jun, who is hailed as a genius of KAIST.

Perhaps his talent and ability aren't the world's best, but everyone is willing to believe that the team he leads can produce the best product results. Wu Zhiyuan didn't let the waiter do anything; she quickly opened the door to the private room.

Han Xijun and the executive director went in first.

Following them were the head of the CDO department and several key engineers and managers from the SK Hynix R&D team.

Normally, I certainly wouldn't be that polite to Wu Zhiyuan.

In the harsh reality of the workplace in country H, female employees have no advantage and there is no fairness. People in higher positions often ignore female employees and only think of them when they need them.

This terrible atmosphere permeated the entire workplace in South Korea until the rise of Lee Boo-jin, the representative of Samsung Group, but it was still a drop in the ocean.

You still have to be mindful of how others treat you.

Wu Zhiyuan, who was treated with politeness and courtesy, knew very well that the reason she heard "thank you" and "thank you for your hard work" from these high-ranking officials who would normally never give her a second glance, and saw their fake smiles, was because of Han Xijun. Meanwhile...

Seoul, Seongnae-dong.

JYP Entertainment Company Practice Room.

"I believe you, Unnie. It's normal that we haven't kept in touch since graduating from high school."

"I also believe in Unnie. Unnie has joined a company and travels between Seoul and Incheon every day. That athlete may have joined a football team. They are all working hard for their own dreams, so it's normal that they lost contact."

"Is this normal? It's perfectly reasonable to contact each other occasionally."

Wu Haiyuan raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "Everyone, I don't think it's necessary to discuss this topic. It turns out that I only saw Yoon Ji-hoon in a photo on my manager's phone today, after so many years."

Bae Jinsol was still curiously asking Oh Hae-won, "Didn't you say before that you were talking about Yoon Ji-hoon when you were having dinner with your friends?"

Wu Haiyuan just mentioned it casually.

She felt...

Someone I had almost forgotten was suddenly brought up during a meal, and then not long after, they actually appeared in my life.

It seems like fate had already planned it all out for me; my life has only gotten more and more exciting since my debut with nmixx. - Kang Hye-won

Wu Haiyuan began to suspect that his friend was the one who had been in contact with Yoon Ji-hoon, and that Yoon Ji-hoon had instructed her to deliberately mention his name and current situation in front of him.

After all, it's inconvenient for them to show off, or perhaps they haven't reached the point where they can show off yet.

As for Wu Haiyuan...

The fact that Yoon Ji-hoon was a member of the fan club with the number 17 in NMIXX's debut speaks volumes.

Kim Ji-woo, who hadn't said much until now, asked a crucial question at the critical moment: "But, does brother-in-law know this person?"

The members all looked at Kim Ji-woo.

At this moment, Kim Ji-woo's sincere expression was full of worry.

It was obvious to everyone that Kim Ji-woo was worried that Han Hee-joon was unaware of Yoon Ji-hoon's existence.

All signs indicate that Yoon Ji-hoon is Han Hee-jun's biggest threat.

Although Han Hee-joon is currently dating Oh Hae-won, he can't stop someone from lurking nearby, eyeing him covetously.

The most important thing is that Wu Haiyuan needs to tell Han Xijun about this person's existence; Wu Haiyuan should unconditionally side with Han Xijun. "Jiyou, you…"

Kim Ji-woo muttered, "I think unnie should reassure her brother-in-law."

Wu Haiyuan said, "Zhiyou, you really don't need to worry about this. When I heard Yin Zhixun's name again, your brother-in-law was sitting right next to me."

"Oh~"

An uproar has broken out.

Zhang Guizhen said playfully, "This is the first time I've heard Unnie say something like that about your brother-in-law. It's so cheesy."

Wu Haiyuan rolled his eyes.

Seol Lun-ah asked, "Unnie just said that she was talking about Yoon Ji-hoon when she was having dinner with friends in Incheon, so your brother-in-law was also there when you went back to Incheon to have dinner with your friends?"

Wu Haiyuan said speechlessly, "Do you care about me or not? Weren't you all there at the time? Han Xijun went to my house, and you were the ones who told me to ask my manager for leave and rush back, saying that my manager would definitely agree to my leave."

The members fell silent.

Yes, that's true.

How could I have forgotten? So embarrassing, so incredibly embarrassing.

What to do in this awkward situation?

She's being coquettish.

The method to "deal with" Wu Haiyuan is too simple: just act cute towards her. It only takes ten seconds, at most half a minute, to make Wu Haiyuan laugh.
