Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

The colleagues gathered in the break room were still in shock.

Things have changed. The team leader who used to be quiet, reserved, and only knew how to stay in the company doing R&D has completely transformed into a different person this year.

His colleagues understood his principles as something he was revising one by one after participating in the recording of the "72 Hours of Blind Date" program at the beginning of the year.

It's perfectly normal for someone his age to have the vibe of youth, to pursue fashion, to have favorite idols, to enjoy gatherings with friends for drinks and chats, to like traveling, to date, and so on.

But these things would not have been possible for the original Han Hee-joon.

But what about now?

When the department is on holiday and Han Xijun is not there, he will go to the office alone to work overtime.

I usually leave work on time, and I also have other plans for the weekend.

I have more topics to talk about with my colleagues, and we also buy albums of our idols together.

They've even started using phone cases.

"Is the power of love really that terrifying?"

"Love really can change a person. I used to think it couldn't." "It's not that it can't, it just won't change the team leader. Looks like the team leader is human too."

"What are you talking about? The team leader is a person, of course, and he's the face of our company."

"Wu Haiyuan-xi?"

"What?"

"A phone case? Team leader wouldn't use a phone case for no reason, especially a cartoon one. Did Wu Haiyuan buy it for him?"

"I understand. The department dinner is scheduled for the 24th, and we have Christmas holiday on the 25th. Team leader is definitely on a date with Wu Haiyuan. The phone case is his Christmas gift."

"I don't think so. Haven't you guys noticed that our team leader has been wearing a black scarf to work these past few days?"

"A scarf? I saw it. What's wrong?"

"It was definitely not bought in a store. I looked closely and it was clearly handmade. There was no brand logo. The scarf was the Christmas gift."

The staff all joined the discussion.

Team Leader's Office.

Han Xijun was charging his phone using a borrowed charger from an employee. Beside him, in a backpack hanging on a coat rack, were Han Xijun's phone charger and a power bank.

If his colleagues think about it carefully, they should understand that Han Xijun this morning was simply trying to let everyone know that he was using a phone case; it was blatant showing off.

How could Han Xijun not bring a charger or power bank to work? Even if we assume there are spare chargers or data cables in the office, his phone has been on 24 hours a day since he joined the company.

Scrolling the mouse wheel.

Having achieved his goal, Han Xijun wasn't working; instead, he opened a webpage and was reading today's entertainment news.

There were no major entertainment news updates.

I also visited the official nmixx fan website.

I've looked at nmixx's schedule for the end of 2022 and the beginning of 2023.

Not many, really few compared to other idol groups.

After the New Year's Eve music show tomorrow night, nmixx will likely have a break for all members. Their official work schedule for 2023, including individual and group activities, will not start until March of next year at the earliest.

Many fans left comments on the fan site's post about the schedule announcement.

The schedule for next March is tentative; it was only released after the fan club president knew some inside information. The company will likely arrange for nmixx to hold their comeback show next March, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

The so-called comeback show is not a promotional event for a new album. The concept is similar to a fan meeting and a small tour. A performance venue will be prepared in a different city, and then nmixx will take the stage to perform.

It features more than one representative song, and the entire performance lasted roughly the same amount of time as a tour.

Fans who left comments were very excited, especially those from other countries and regions overseas who wanted to meet and interact with their favorite nmixx members up close and witness their amazing live performances.

Han Xijun had some doubts.

As far as he knew, for an idol group to embark on a tour, the group first needed to have a certain level of popularity to avoid the embarrassing situation of having few fans willing to pay for their shows.

In addition, there should be a sufficient variety of songs or dance performances on stage. Even if there are greetings or interactive segments during the performance, they should not take up more than the total performance time.

nmixx has been around for less than a year, and has only released six songs, including album tracks and a Christmas limited edition.

How dare JYP Entertainment make such an arrangement?

They might have nmixx make a comeback with their new album before their comeback show. Even if it's a full album, 10 songs is already a lot; that's only 16 songs in total. Is that feasible?

the other side.

JYP Entertainment, Seongnae-dong. Practice room.

The members are all preparing for tomorrow's M Broadcasting Station music stage.

Xue Lun'e was the first to notice that Wu Haiyuan was using a new phone case.

Standing in front of the locker, Xue Lun'e asked Wu Haiyuan in a low voice, "Did Unnie choose this?"

"This? Hmm."

"So, unnie uses Crayon Shin-chan, but what about brother-in-law?"

Wu Haiyuan calmly said, "He chose Xiaobai himself."

Xue Lun'e couldn't help but raise her voice and shout, "A puppy?"

The other members looked over curiously.

After putting his things away, Wu Haiyuan walked to the sofa and said, "The phone case I ordered for Christmas Day arrived yesterday."

"What is it?"

Xue Lun'e quickly interjected, "Unnie's is Crayon Shin-chan!"

The members were not surprised.

If it's a cartoon character, Wu Haiyuan's favorite is Crayon Shin-chan, and there are no others.

"Where's my brother-in-law?"

This is the key.

Zhang Guizhen said, "Brother-in-law wouldn't be using Nv Ai, would he? That would fit quite well; Nv Ai is the richest young lady in anime, hahaha."

"Why not Nanako?"

"I think Kazama and Shin-chan are a perfect match."

Xue Lun'e interjected, "Everyone, my brother-in-law chose Xiao Bai."

After a brief silence, Kim Ji-woo said, "It doesn't necessarily have to be a couple. If it's a real couple, unnie should use Nanako or Nyoai, and Xiaobai is good. The concept god is either Shin-chan or Xiaobai."

Lily asked hesitantly, "But does my brother-in-law know how to use a phone case? I don't think he's cute at all. After all, he's the head of a department at the company. It would be too embarrassing for him to take out his phone and put on a white phone case."

Wu Haiyuan shook his head and said, "Don't look at me, I don't know if he used it or not." "Wasn't it delivered yesterday? Didn't Unnie ask?"

Wu Haiyuan said he didn't ask.

The members told Wu Haiyuan to ask Han Xijun right now.

Wu Haiyuan hesitated. Kakao Group was also very busy at the end of the year, and she didn't want to bother Han Xijun during work hours.

crunch.

The trainee's room door opened, and the manager walked in.

The members immediately stopped chatting and sat quietly and obediently on the sofa.

The agent asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Something's not right with you guys."
