Chapter 36 Zhang Yuanying's Plan
Chapter 36 Zhang Yuanying's Plan
Han Hee-joon breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his office and didn't see Kim Bum-soo.
He really didn't want to get entangled with Kim Bum-soo about anything related to women.
Han Hee-joon had also considered Kim Bum-soo's motives.
Since joining the Kakao Group, Han Hee-joon has never heard any rumors about himself being gay.
That wouldn't lead Kim Bum-soo to change himself in unconventional ways.
Do we have to find something to hold over ourselves?
The strategy of breaking through technological barriers can be fully utilized. As long as the R&D support is in place, allowing Han Xijun and his team to develop various AI products that are likely to be implemented is equivalent to deeply binding Han Xijun to the project.
Since he couldn't afford the money, the only thing that Han Xijun couldn't resist was research and development.
After putting away his toiletries, packing up his laptop, and slinging his backpack over his shoulder, Han Xijun, wearing a gray polo shirt, left the office again with his phone and car keys.
underground garage.
The company provided Han Xijun with a fully imported white Volvo SUV.
Navigation was still not used.
The apartment he stayed in was also provided for Han Hee-joon by the KAKAO Group; it was the R Luxury Apartment in Yongsan, Seoul.
Han Xijun doesn't go back to his apartment often; it's more like a luxury hotel room than a home.
Adjacent to the Han River, it includes a swimming pool, a gym, and even a golf course, facilities that Han Hee-jun has never used.
There are only three buildings in R Apartments.
Han Xijun lives in Building C.
Waiting for the elevator on the second basement level.
Han Xijun took out his phone, as was his habit, to check his work email.
A notification of an unread text message appeared in the upper left corner of the image frame in the mobile text messaging app.
I have a bit of OCD.
Han Hee-joon dislikes any app displaying numbers on his phone screen.
Even if it's a harassing call or spam message, Han Xijun will open the call log and text message page and remove the unread notification number.
The elevator had just reached the second basement level.
Han Xijun stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the 19th floor.
Upon opening the message page, Han Xijun immediately frowned.
It's an unfamiliar phone number.
But this phone number also sent a text message last night.
The time I saw was when I had just driven away from the KAKAO Group, it was sent before 9 a.m.
The message was very simple, just one sentence: "Good morning, Team Leader Han."
Han Xijun didn't need to open the text message dialog box to confirm who the unknown phone number that sent the message belonged to.
He remembered that it was Zhang Yuanying's phone number.
This is not a prank.
It's not spam either.
From a certain perspective, Zhang Yuanying is a very resilient person.
It was just used in the wrong place.
Han Xijun had no intention of replying to the message, even though Zhang Yuanying's message was a polite morning greeting.
If he replied to the message, even with just a punctuation mark, Han Xijun could imagine that Zhang Yuanying would definitely use the opportunity to steer the conversation toward dating him.
Ding
The elevator doors slowly opened.
It certainly won't be that quick to reach the 19th floor.
A petite woman wearing a baseball cap walked in.
Han Xijun glanced at it subconsciously without paying much attention, and took half a step back to the right.
After entering the elevator, the woman pressed the button for the 15th floor and then moved two steps to the left.
The elevator continued to ascend.
Han Xijun opened his email and checked his work emails.
The woman wearing a baseball cap, standing on the left side of the elevator car, kept glancing at Han Hee-joon out of the corner of her eye.
Ding
The notification sounded: "We've reached the 15th floor."
The woman walked slowly, and before stepping out of the elevator car, she turned back to look at Han Xijun one last time.
drop drop drop
15 floors.
Room 1503.
The woman who entered the password and opened the door stood at the entrance and dialed a number on her phone.
As soon as the other end answered, the woman said in a surprised tone, "Ji-eun, do you know who I saw?"
A murmured voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who is it?"
Han Xijun
"Who?"
Han Xijun
"Don't know him/her"
"Oh, it's that AI R&D head of the KAKAO Group that was recently featured in the news, the KAIST genius."
The person on the other end of the phone was still muttering, "So?"
The woman exclaimed excitedly, "He's even more handsome in person than in the news footage. Although he was just wearing a very ordinary polo shirt, I can't even describe his aura. His long legs seem to reach my shoulders. The key thing is that he lives in the same building as us; he lives on the 19th floor."
"so what?"
"What? Don't you find it amazing to live in the same building as such a famous person?"
The person on the other end of the phone sighed and replied, "Is it strange that our neighbors live in the same building as us?"
"Isn't that amazing? We..."
"Unnie, I'm going to sleep."
"Hey, listen to me."
"Unnie, please, I worked until 4 a.m. last night."
After the call ended, the woman changed into her slippers while muttering, "Isn't it amazing? It seems so. I've run into neighbors in the same building and apartment before, and we just exchanged normal greetings."
"But don't ordinary people find it amazing when they see celebrities? I can understand it, but do my neighbors react like that when they see Ji-eun?"
the other side.
Yeongdeungpo, Yeouido, K Broadcasting Station New Building, backstage waiting room for the recording of the "Music Bank" program.
Although IVE is a new girl group launched by Starship Entertainment in December last year, Ahn Yu-jin and Jang Won-young, who are members of the group, have already accumulated a lot of popularity through limited idol groups.
Therefore, IVE, who had just debuted, not only broke the record for the highest first-sales performance of a debut album by a South Korean girl group, but also achieved the remarkable feat of having their debut album singles achieve thirteen number one rankings, breaking many records for the fastest debut.
This month, IVE made their comeback with their second single album, "LOVE DIVE". In just one week, the music video surpassed 5000 million views, and the album sold over 30 copies in its first week.
K-pop fans generally believe that IVE has a better chance of reaching the top than fifth-generation groups that debuted earlier.
Meanwhile, Jang Won-young, a member of the group, has always been a major topic of discussion among K-pop fans due to her own controversial personality.
It was precisely because of this that Jang Won-young had the information to turn the label of "one of the five leading actresses" in the eyes of fans and passersby into a unique label for herself in the entertainment industry.
The IVE members, having finished their rehearsals, are resting in the waiting room.
Zhang Yuanying sat in the left corner of the sofa.
The other members were all playing around together, especially the maknae (youngest member) who kept tugging at the leader, Ahn Yu-jin.
It's not that the members don't like to joke around with Jang Won-young, or that they "isolate" her.
Instead, the members had gotten used to the fact that unless Jang Won-young took the initiative to joke around with them, he was definitely doing something very important.
Although we don't know what important matter Zhang Yuanying has to do, mutual respect and boundaries must be respected.
Zhang Yuanying looked at her phone screen.
After confirming that Han Xijun had seen the text message he sent, he smiled and put away his phone.
She didn't expect Han Xijun to reply to her messages.
I searched online for various ways to bump into someone, and stared at the ceiling of my room for a long time.
Finally, Zhang Yuanying came up with a good idea.
It was also inspired by a love story found online.
A special plan was launched to get Han Xijun used to her presence, and the key to this plan was to send her a text message greeting at a fixed time every day.
Today is the first time this morning greeting has been sent, and at least Han Xijun saw the message. If we keep doing this, things might change in a month, and then we'll just need to change our strategy.
Turn your head.
In high spirits, Zhang Yuanying watched the members playfully fighting, then got up and rushed over, shouting, "What are you doing? Are you all bullying our Youzhen? Youzhen, I'm here to protect you!"
