Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Tehran Road, Kakao Group.

15th floor, research and development center.

Large office.

Baek Eun-hee, sitting at her assistant secretary's workstation, glanced back at the closed door of the team leader's office.

The phone I was holding was stuck on a text message dialog box.

Just now, Zhang Yuanying sent a text message to Bai Enxi, asking her directly if she had heard that nmixx had become the spokesperson for the Orion brand.

Baek Eun-hee knew about this.

It wasn't that she was paying attention to it intentionally; it was just that her other colleagues were talking about nmixx all morning.

nmixx is officially back today.

The album pre-sales exceeded 50 copies in the first week, which is a very top achievement for a debuting newcomer.

Besides that, nmixx's live stream was the most discussed topic among colleagues.

The discussion revolves around speculation about whether Han Xijun will watch nmixx's live stream today. There has been no confirmation from Han Xijun himself.

However, his colleagues all assumed that Han Hee-joon was dating Oh Hae-won, the leader of the group nmixx.

In the eyes of her colleagues, Wu Haiyuan is not just a new idol girl group leader; she is already seen as the department leader's lover. Some colleagues even want to give Wu Haiyuan more support, as doing so might leave a better impression on Han Xijun.

That's how it is in the workplace.

Opportunities to flatter your boss are rare.

When all colleagues have equal work abilities, those who know how to flatter and are good at it will have an unparalleled advantage in terms of promotion, bonuses, and other aspects compared to their colleagues.

Baek Eun-hee had also thought about this.

However, Baek Eun-hee was somewhat confused after seeing the text message sent by Jang Won-young.

So what exactly is the situation between Jang Won-young and Han Hee-joon?

When Jang Won-young came to the company to see Han Hee-joon before, Baek Eun-hee thought that Jang Won-young and Han Hee-joon might be a couple.

If I had to bet on something, it would definitely be Zhang Yuanying.

Firstly, they were familiar with each other. Secondly, Baek Eun-hee knew that Jang Won-young was a very outstanding, beautiful, gentle, and lively younger sister.

Almost no man can resist Zhang Yuanying's charm.

Even in this AI research and development center, if it weren't for the speculation that Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan were dating, and if you actually asked the colleagues which idol they liked, most of them would probably answer Jang Wonyoung from IIVE.

Look away.

Baek Eun-hee was thinking about how to reply to Jang Won-young's message.

She asked if she knew why nmixx was the spokesperson for Orion. Could it be that Han Xijun facilitated nmixx's endorsement of Orion?

Baek Eun-hee thought it was impossible.

Han Xijun was no different from usual. He spent his days at the company building large model data, having meetings with his colleagues, and most of the time he stayed in the office alone to work overtime.

Han Hee-joon's schedule for at least the next month includes no travel plans other than attending a meeting at SK Hynix.

He didn't know anyone at Orion, and the Orion Group had no cooperation with the R&D center.

Unless it's a collaboration with Kakao Mall and Kakao Pay, which involves cross-departmental collaboration, Han Xijun has no interaction with other departments in the company.

I replied to Zhang Yuanying that I had heard the news. I thought I would receive a reply from Zhang Yuanying soon, but it went unanswered.

"Eun-hee"

Baek Eun-hee subconsciously flipped her phone over to cover it, then looked up at Kwon Ji-ho, who had suddenly stood in front of her desk.

"What's going on? Do you have some secret? You're not secretly dating someone in the company, are you? Eun-hee, our company doesn't have any rules against dating within the company, so don't be so nervous."

Bai Enxi shook her head and said, "No, is there something you need, Team Leader Quan?"

Kwon Ji-ho also holds the title of team leader, leading a six-person team.

Kwon Ji-ho said in a low voice, "Do you want to participate?"

Baek Eun-hee looked puzzled; she genuinely had no idea what had happened or what she was supposed to be involved in.

Kwon Ji-ho explained, "Lee Si-ah and the others made a bet that the team leader won't leave the office today, but we think the team leader will leave the office today."

"What? Why are you betting?"

"To be precise, the bet is whether the group leader will go to the broadcasting station today to watch nmixx's comeback stage."

Baek Eun-hee hesitated for a moment and said, "Probably not. The team leader said he'd watch the live stream on his phone this morning." "Said? To whom? To you? Are you sure? Really?"

Bai Enxi nodded and said, "I heard it when I brought the tea in. The team leader was on the phone, but I don't know who he was talking to."

Kwon Ji-ho frowned.

He came to see Baek Eun-hee mainly to find out if there was any inside information.

I didn't expect it to actually exist.

Logically speaking, since today is nmixx's first comeback stage, Han Hee-jun, as Oh Hae-won's boyfriend, should be at the broadcasting station to cheer them on.

How romantic!

Moreover, it won't take much time, and Han Xijun leaving the office early won't affect the research and development progress.

But Baek Eun-hee's words are 100% credible.

She never makes things up; if she hears something, she definitely hears it.

Most of the people on the phone knew about Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan's relationship. Regardless of who they were, since Han Xijun said he saw it on his phone, it couldn't be wrong.

Kwon Ji-ho muttered, "Luckily, the bet wasn't officially set up." Please bookmark the only website for this novel: www.deqixs.org. This is the only website; other websites may stop updating at any time.

Baek Eun-hee said, "Team Leader Kwon could actually ask Team Leader himself, just in case I misheard."

Dong dong dong

In the office, Han Xijun was on a video call.

"Wait a moment"

He replied, "Who?"

Outside.

Kwon Ji-ho was stunned for a moment.

More than a year later, the first time I knocked on the door, the response I heard was to ask who was knocking.

Kwon Ji-ho cleared his throat and said, "Team leader, I'm Kwon Ji-ho."

Come in.

The door creaked open as I entered the office.

Kwon Ji-ho quickly glanced at the desk.

Gently closing the door, she heard Han Xijun's incredibly gentle voice saying, "Yes, click on the upper right corner, there's a magnifying glass icon. You can use translation software to translate the text first, then copy and paste it to search for terms."

Kwon Ji-ho slowly approached the desk.

I could clearly hear a woman's voice saying, "Are all the related search results for the same type of videos?"

"Yeah, I've tried it. You can just search for 'funny' or 'funny'; I think it will help your live stream."

"I'll give it a try, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay, good luck when you get on stage."

"Yes, I'll definitely do my best."

Kwon Ji-ho's expression changed rapidly.

That voice belongs to Wu Haiyuan.

I watched that dating show with Wu Haiyuan and Han Xijun before; their voices are strikingly similar. It's not the right time for him to knock on the door himself.

No wonder Han Hee-joon asked who was knocking on the door.

I should have just walked back to my workstation without answering.

Now, if I can't say something important, especially something about work, I feel like I'm doomed.

My mind is racing.

After ending the video call, Han Xijun put down his phone and looked at Quan Zhihao, who was standing at his desk lost in thought, and asked, "What kind of bug is this?"

bug.

Kwon Ji-ho muttered to himself, "Can I fix this bug where I have no sense of perspective?"

He answered verbally, "No, I came to talk to the team leader, to say..."

"What did you say?"
