Chapter 49 1 vs 2
The conversation was completely off-track.
Han Xijun was completely speechless after Wu Haiyuan's words.
Does asking a girl's age always imply something else?
"Slap slap slap"
I could faintly hear a very slight patting sound.
Immediately following was Wu Haiyuan's rapid apology, transformed into a rapper: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it that way, I just talked too fast. I'm not usually like this, and I don't know why I can't control my mouth when I'm talking to Han Xijun."
Han Xijun laughed and said, "You weren't just slapping yourself in the mouth, were you?"
How did you know?
"Don't look around, I didn't put a hidden camera on you."
"What?!"
"Time and place"
Wu Haiyuan's voice changed.
Just moments ago she was rapping, but suddenly she raised her voice and asked softly, "Does Han Xijun agree to have dinner together tonight?"
Han Xijun said, "We were going to have dinner anyway."
Wu Haiyuan was still eating, muttering, "But doesn't Han Xijun usually think eating is a waste of time? If we go out for dinner, we won't finish in a while. Is it really okay?"
Han Xijun deliberately said, "You're right, so I'll refuse?"
"No, didn't we already agree?"
"So send me the time and the location of the meal before I regret it."
"OK, let me ask my sister how things are arranged. Um, do I want to come along?"
"If you don't go, I won't go either."
"So Han Xijun won't go just because I don't want to?"
"Okay, I'll talk to you later, I have a bug to fix."
Cheongdam-dong, JYP Entertainment, practice room.
Wu Haiyuan, who was leaning against the locker, waited for Han Xijun to hang up the phone before putting down his phone, which he had been holding for half a day.
She couldn't suppress the urge to smile, muttering, "What? It's strangely tempting."
Han Xijun's words, "If I don't go, he won't go either," kept echoing in his mind.
So, is he willing to spend time eating because he wants to see me and eat with me?
We just had dinner together a few hours ago, what happened?
crunch.
Reopen the locker.
Looking closely at his reflection in the small mirror on the cabinet door, Wu Haiyuan said, "Pretty and cute, Wu Haiyuan, you're charming."
Hey.
My phone is vibrating.
Wu Haiyuan grabbed the phone.
She thought it was Han Xijun calling, wondering if he had just agreed to have dinner together but then stood her up because of work.
Upon seeing the three words "Wu Zhiyuan" saved on the caller ID, Wu Haiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then cleared his throat arrogantly and pressed the answer button.
"How is it?"
Hearing Wu Zhiyuan's slightly anxious question, Wu Haiyuan slowly replied, "I know everything."
"What are you saying? What do you know?"
"I know you're deliberately trying to provoke me and stir up my competitive spirit, but I'm not the same Wu Haiyuan I used to be."
bang.
The sound of a car door closing.
Wu Zhiyuan said, "So you really didn't ask?"
Wu Haiyuan adjusted his bangs in front of the small mirror and said, "If it weren't for the fact that it was the first time you asked me for a favor, I definitely wouldn't have helped you."
"So, Team Leader Han Xijun agreed to have dinner together tonight?"
"Of course, don't you even know who your sister is?"
"Good girl, I've known since I was little that you'll succeed no matter what you do."
Wu Haiyuan retorted, "You've known since I was little? Do you really support my dream of becoming an idol singer? Or are you just fooling me?"
"Haiyuan, my dearest little sister, what are you saying? I've always believed that you will definitely achieve your dream."
"It's cheesy. Don't say things you didn't say before, like the time and place."
"As for timing, I'll be in Seoul right now. Where do you think would be a good place to eat?"
"I don't know, but I suggest you find a quiet place with a private room. There are too many people eating out at night, and Han Hee-joon isn't used to it."
On the phone, Wu Zhiyuan didn't dwell on the matter with Wu Haiyuan.
After ending the call, before setting off, Wu Zhiyuan searched online for a quiet restaurant where he could treat guests without being impolite.
They ignored the restaurant's prices.
They quickly identified Yipinzhai, a high-end Chinese restaurant near Guanghuamen.
KAKAO sent it to Wu Haiyuan, and Wu Zhiyuan also asked Wu Haiyuan if he knew Han Xijun's drinking habits.
The sky gradually darkened.
KAKAO Group Headquarters, 15th Floor AI R&D Center.
Han Xijun walked out of the office.
The large office was brightly lit, and none of the colleagues seemed inclined to leave.
It's not that Han Xijun stipulated that no one is allowed to leave work before he leaves. In fact, the AI R&D center does not have strict regulations on working hours. As long as the work results are submitted within the time specified by Han Xijun, the employees can arrange their own working hours.
Han Xijun didn't bother his colleagues who were working overtime.
It really is voluntary to work overtime. After all, the bonus for successfully completing a project is very substantial, and with good returns, a single bonus can exceed an annual salary.
As soon as Han Xijun left in the elevator, the quiet office immediately became lively.
The employee who had visited Han Xijun's office that afternoon stood up and said, "Everyone, don't forget the bet."
Another employee stood up and asked, "Who's assigned to follow the team leader?"
"Yong-joon is already in the underground parking garage."
"OK, everyone pay 50,000 H yuan first, and we'll put it all with Shiyan."
Everyone was taking out their wallets, and soon millions of dollars in cash were placed on the desk of a female employee named Shiyan.
Shiyan finally confirmed, "Raise your hand if you bet that the team leader is in a relationship."
Swish swish.
A dozen or so people raised their hands.
After the tally was done, Shiyan said, "Those who didn't raise their hands are betting that the team leader isn't dating. If the team leader really is dating, the winners will get a lot of money."
The employee who had personally heard Han Xijun's witty but sarcastic joke patted his chest and said, "Team leader is definitely in love. Anyone who doesn't believe me is just waiting to lose. When has team leader ever told a sarcasm?"
Some people wavered.
Some people countered, "Telling lame jokes doesn't mean anything. Maybe the group leader thought it was funny and that's why he said it. There are a lot of lame jokes like that online."
"Does the team leader waste time browsing lame jokes online?"
"We make AI products, and we can't do without network data. We need all kinds of data. Maybe our team leader is developing an AI product that allows humans to have voice conversations with artificial intelligence, providing emotional value and stress relief for office workers. This type of AI product needs data from jokes to support it."
Both sides in the bet have their own analytical results.
Shi Yan raised her hand and said, "Stop arguing, the result will be clear soon, just wait."
"Let's go get some late-night snacks in a bit, in Itaewon."
"We also went out for a late-night snack to thank the ten of them for treating us."
"There's news about Kakao."
Everyone returned to their workstations.
In the chat room of the AI R&D center, Junyong, who was responsible for "tracking" and confirming the results, sent a photo of Han Xijun's car.
We've already set off.
The results will be available soon.
Everyone was certain that there would be a result, and no one considered that Han Xijun might have gone out for other reasons.
Tick tick
Time passed by, second by second.
7 points.
KAKAO chat room updated photos.
The photo isn't very clear, but you can still make out a human face.
It's definitely Han Hee-joon.
In the parking lot, besides Han Xijun, there is also a long-haired girl wearing a hat and a mask in the photo.
We won.
"Wait, does having dinner with a girl necessarily mean you're dating? We need to wait for Junyong to confirm, and for the team leader to personally introduce his girlfriend before it counts."
"You've posted photos again."
This photo is taken at a closer distance than the previous one.
It was probably taken near where Han Hee-joon parked, and the image is blurry, suggesting the photographer was in a panic when taking the picture.
There's an extra person in this photo, a girl with long hair who isn't wearing a hat or mask. Her figure makes her look like a female celebrity.
"Team leader, is this a 1 vs 2 situation?"
"OMG"
"The team leader is truly a man of few words, but when he does speak, he makes a stunning debut."
