Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

The members were all in the living room.

Before opening the door, Wu Haiyuan clearly heard loud laughter.

I entered the password to open the door and went inside. Apart from the living room lights being on, I couldn't hear any other sounds in the dormitory.

Wu Haiyuan called out, "I'm back," but there was no response.

After changing into slippers and carrying a takeout box, Wu Haiyuan muttered as he walked, "What are you all doing? Why are you suddenly silent now that I'm back? It's not like an adult comes home from get off work to catch their daughter who's been playing and not doing her homework."

That's a very apt description.

In front of the living room.

Five pairs of eyes were fixed on Wu Haiyuan, or more precisely, on the takeout box in Wu Haiyuan's hand.

Lily spoke first, saying, "I knew Haiyuan would definitely bring us food back."

Xue Lun'e chimed in, "That's what I said too."

Bae Jin-sol asked, "Isn't Unnie on a Christmas date with her brother-in-law? Why did you bring back food?"

Kim Ji-woo was concerned: "What did you pack, unnie? Fried chicken? Pig's trotters?" Jang Kyu-jin asked: "Unnie, you weren't thinking about us while you were on your date with your brother-in-law, were you? We're not kids anymore. We know you'll definitely bring food back, so we won't call and bother you on your date. We'll just wait for you in the dorm."

If you don't listen carefully, you really won't notice the "problem" in what they're saying.

They sat around the tea table.

Wu Haiyuan watched the members eat.

There's a very strange feeling.

When two people are eating together, they don't realize how delicious the food is. But when several people are scrambling to eat it, it's as if not joining in would be disrespectful to the food.

Wu Haiyuan later joined as well.

The members who were eating the skewers kept muttering to themselves, but it was hard to hear clearly. Some said that Wu Haiyuan must have eaten the leftovers and brought them back, some said that Wu Haiyuan had already eaten them and then they were still fighting over them, some just said that they were delicious, and some asked Wu Haiyuan where he bought the skewers.

After a few minutes of grabbing food, everyone suddenly felt full.

The speed has been reduced.

Everything in their mouths ended up in their stomachs.

She elegantly wiped the grease from the corner of her mouth with a tissue, asking with concern, "How was your date today? Did your brother-in-law like the gift you prepared, Unnie? What gift did your brother-in-law give you, Unnie? Was it a ring?" Five pairs of eyes were then fixed on Wu Haiyuan's hands.

There were no rings or jewelry on any of her ten fingers.

"I thought my brother-in-law would give me a ring!"

"Yeah, they've been dating for nine months and still don't have matching rings, that's unacceptable."

"Is it because unnie doesn't want it?"

Wu Haiyuan did not respond.

The members did not pursue the topic of the ring further.

It's obvious that Wu Haiyuan didn't want it anymore, otherwise the couple's ring would have been on her finger long ago. It's not like Han Xijun can't afford it; even if Wu Haiyuan wanted to wear a big diamond ring, Han Xijun could have fulfilled her wish.

I still don't want to be too flashy.

As the leader of a group and as an idol, this is the attitude towards one's profession.

After winning the award this year, NMIXX has truly reached a new level. Their goals for next year will definitely be different. They cannot allow any events to occur in the early stages of their debut that could have a fatal impact on the group.

On a personal level, Oh Hae-won has been "sacrificing". He didn't receive a couple's ring as a gift, but the other members felt it was very appropriate after learning that it was gloves. From another perspective, Han Hee-jun genuinely thought of Oh Hae-won and prepared the gloves as a gift.

The custom phone case plan received unanimous praise from the members. Normally, no one would deliberately fuss over a phone case, and even if others saw it, Wu Haiyuan could easily handle it. Besides, Han Xijun wouldn't go around showing off his phone case...

30 number.

The day before the end of the year.

Tehran Road, headquarters of the Kakao Group.

15th floor, AI R&D center.

"bite"

The elevator doors opened.

Han Hee-joon, still carrying a backpack, stepped out of the elevator.

Good morning, team leader!

Han Xijun nodded and smiled in response, "Good morning."

Instead of going directly to his personal office, he turned the corner and headed towards the break room. The break room.

My colleagues are all talking about the group's year-end dinner at the Shilla Hotel tomorrow night.

"I've been with the company for 3 years, and this is the first time that all headquarters staff have participated in a dinner together."

"Our company has at least 1000 employees, right?"

"Including subsidiaries, the number of employees is about 1500, and the headquarters has nearly 1000 employees. I don't know the exact number, as there are employees coming and going every year."

"A scale of 1000 people is not small. The Shilla Hotel banquet hall needs to accommodate 100 tables. I heard from the administration department that the company has also prepared a lot of prizes for the event."

"Oh my, I heard that the reason for holding the year-end dinner for all employees of the head office this year is because the chairman learned about it when he went to China to discuss cooperation."

"study?"

"Yes, the year-end dinners of large corporations in China involve all employees, and it's not surprising that they're larger than ours."

"Team Leader"

Someone shouted.

Everyone immediately shut up and looked around.

Han Xijun walked into the tea room.

"Team Leader"

"Team Leader"

Nodding in response to everyone's greetings, Han Xijun said, "Discussions are fine, but discussions about the company and the chairman are prohibited. We can't discuss them anymore."

The employees nodded in agreement.

Thinking Han Xijun was going to make tea, an employee told him that they hadn't had time to boil the water yet.

Han Xijun, however, took out a carton of milk and asked, "Who among you uses the S21?"

For a moment, everyone was taking out their phones.

Behind him, Kwon Ji-ho said casually, "Have you all heard? The company has prepared a lot of prizes for the dinner party tomorrow. Rumor has it that there will be a lucky draw tomorrow, and the grand prize is a brand new Mercedes-Benz E300."

"The company has really made progress this year. The chairman came back from discussing a cooperation project with the Chinese side..."

"Cough cough" sounds arose from all sides.

Kwon Ji-ho walked up to the front, puzzled, and asked, "You all have colds?"

Receiving the subtle hint in his eyes, Kwon Ji-ho knew what was going on without even turning his head. He changed the subject, saying, "The reason I desperately wanted to join the company was because of my admiration for our chairman. Seriously, our chairman is the best chairman of any tech company in the world, no, the best company chairman."

"And then there's our team leader, Nim. It's the greatest honor of my life to be able to work on research and development with this genius team leader. None of my classmates who went abroad at the same time have learned as much as I have, and they've never had the opportunity to lead a research and development team like I have."

After saying that, Kwon Ji-ho slowly turned his head.

Kwon Ji-ho breathed a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of Han Hee-joon out of the corner of his eye; as long as the chairman wasn't standing there, it was fine.

Just as he turned to Han Xijun, Quan Zhihao chuckled and said, "Team leader is here too. Team leader looks especially handsome today."

Han Hee-joon didn't accuse Kwon Ji-ho of flattery, but instead asked the same question: "Are you using an S21 phone?"

Kwon Ji-ho pulled out his new iPhone and said, "No, this is what I'm using. What's wrong?"

In the crowd, a new employee who joined the company this year raised his hand and said, "Team leader, I'm using S21."

Han Xijun took his phone out of his pocket.

The staff in the entire break room were completely stunned. What was going on?

Han Xijun's phone even had a phone case on it.

This is like discovering a new continent on Earth.

Everyone knows that Han Xijun never uses a phone case or even a screen protector. A phone is just a phone; that's Han Xijun's consistent philosophy.

Suddenly I started using a phone case, and it was a really strange one at that.

Han Xijun pointed to the charging port and asked the new employee, "Are they the same charging ports?"
