Chapter 48 His mouth is really fast.
SK Hynix CDO Department Office.
Wu Zhiyuan quickly packed his bag.
A colleague whispered a reminder, "Zhiyuan, it's not time to leave work yet, and the department head has been working overtime lately. Do you want to leave early?"
When asked about the bag, Wu Zhiyuan said, "I have something important to do."
My colleague looked surprised, lowered her voice, and asked worriedly, "What could be more important than work? You're not going on a blind date, are you?"
Wu Zhiyuan simply waved his hand and then strode towards the minister's desk.
Stable.
Wu Zhiyuan was already convinced that Wu Haiyuan could definitely help him arrange to have dinner with Han Xijun.
Moreover, the Han Xijun who was invited out was Han Xijun, the team leader of the AI R&D Center of KAKAO Group.
Wu Haiyuan also mentioned on the phone that he spent those three days in Japan recording a program with Han Xijun.
Everything matches up.
A few days ago, the minister tried to invite Han Xijun to dinner to get to know him so that they could coordinate their work in the future, but the minister was told that Han Xijun had gone to an island nation.
Wu Zhiyuan knew, of course, that Wu Haiyuan wouldn't lie.
She said that on purpose.
Just like Wu Haiyuan thought, the goal was to provoke Wu Haiyuan and arouse his competitive spirit.
Do you think a five-year age difference is free?
Wu Zhiyuan has had Wu Haiyuan under his thumb since childhood, and he still does now.
So she had to leave work early and drive to Seoul. She had a dinner appointment with Han Hee-joon, and she couldn't let him wait for her. It was a matter of etiquette, sincerity, and attitude.
As for the excuse, I've already come up with one: there's a special situation at home that requires me to leave work early.
It's not exactly a lie.
Wu Haiyuan and Han Xijun recorded a dating show, and this situation is so special that it will truly shock people in the industry and related circles.
I haven't thought about whether my sister will face a wave of online attacks from the tech industry after the show actually airs. After all, there are quite a few people who like Han Xijun. Being "snatched" by a new female idol for a blind date is a force that not everyone can resist.
"Minister nim"
The minister looked up at Wu Zhiyuan with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"At my home..."
Seoul, Cheongdam-dong, JYP Entertainment practice room.
Wu Haiyuan's tension had reached its peak.
Han Xijun was being contacted by someone, and he hurriedly told Wu Haiyuan to wait a moment on the phone.
You can faintly hear the conversation on the other end of the phone.
Wu Haiyuan couldn't understand what they were saying; the conversation was interspersed with many English words he had never heard before.
With his shoulder pressed against the locker, his right hand tugged back and forth at the innocent locker door.
Han Hee-joon is really busy.
Although she only asked him if he had eaten dinner, Han Xijun, with his clever mind, would definitely guess what she was going to say next.
Should I keep quiet?
Wu Haiyuan began to have second thoughts.
"Feed"
"Oh, are you done with your work?"
"Um, were you asking me if I'd had dinner?"
"Yes"
"It's not the production team asking you again, is it? I don't attend any gatherings, so even if you ask me, it won't make a difference."
In his haste, Wu Haiyuan blurted out, "No, it's not a dinner party, it's my sister who wants to treat you to a meal."
After saying that, Wu Haiyuan raised his hand and gently "fanned" his mouth.
She really speaks very fast.
My brain simply can't keep up.
It's too late to regret it now; I don't have Haha's time-reversal superpower like in Running Man.
She had to salvage the situation before Han Xijun "rejected" her.
With that thought in mind, Wu Haiyuan said, "I'll tell my sister that Han Xijun is too busy with work to have dinner together. I know what to say. Just leave it to me. Pretend I didn't make this call. That's it. I'm hanging up now."
"Wait a moment"
A second before the call ended, Wu Haiyuan heard Han Xijun call out, "Wait a minute."
Boom boom, boom boom.
My heart was still pounding.
Wu Haiyuan carefully put the phone back to his ear and asked, "Is there anything else Han Xijun wants to say?"
It's a bit of the opposite.
She was the one who initiated the call, but now she's asking Han Xijun if he has anything else to say, making it seem like Han Xijun called her.
The hope in my heart was rekindled.
I thought it was definitely not going to work out to arrange to have dinner together.
Has Han Hee-joon changed his mind?
No, he didn't initially refuse his sister's invitation to dinner, but rather what Han Hee-joon thought was a production team dinner.
It would be great if he accepted the invitation.
I'm sure I've saved face in front of my sister.
Guru
Swallowing saliva.
Wu Haiyuan didn't dare to breathe, waiting to hear what Han Xijun had to say next on the other end of the phone.
Han Xijun's voice came from the other end of the phone, full of questions: "Your sister invited me to dinner?"
Anyone would have reacted the same way as Han Xijun.
He didn't know his sister at all; he had only heard her mention him once or twice. He couldn't understand why she suddenly wanted to have dinner with him.
Unless Wu Haiyuan's sister thinks...
Wu Haiyuan quickly analyzed the situation from Han Xijun's "perspective".
They would definitely think of having lunch together at their aunt's shop at noon, where their aunt asked Han Xijun a lot of questions. After they left, their aunt probably immediately called or messaged Wu Haiyuan's family about it.
If Wu Haiyuan's family knew that he had brought a boy to his aunt's restaurant for a meal, they would definitely ask him what was going on.
Wu Haiyuan explained.
However, Wu Haiyuan's family didn't quite believe his explanation, so they arranged for Wu Haiyuan's older sister, who was about the same age, to invite Han Xijun out for dinner to confirm the situation in person.
After finishing his analysis, Wu Haiyuan said, "Auntie did take photos secretly and post them in the KAKAO family chat room, but I explained that everyone shouldn't misunderstand. It's unlikely that my sister wanted to invite you to lunch because of what happened at Auntie's restaurant at noon."
"..."
After a brief silence, Han Xijun said, "I didn't say that."
"I know, I just hope Han Xijun doesn't misunderstand. I guess it's probably because of work. My sister works at SK Hynix."
KAKAO Group Headquarters Building.
15 floors.
AI R&D Center Team Leader's Office.
When Han Xijun heard Wu Haiyuan say that her sister worked at SK Hynix, he was originally going to refuse to have dinner with her that night. But then he suddenly remembered that his department secretary had mentioned to him that the CDO department head of SK Hynix had asked him to have dinner.
This collaboration between KAKAO Group and SK Group is a direct partnership between the AI R&D Center and SK Hynix's CDO division.
Logically, the heads of the two departments should meet to get to know each other so that they can coordinate their work in the future.
However, Han Xijun disliked socializing, and according to past practice, once the research and development made progress, he would have other colleagues go out to coordinate with external parties.
Could Wu Haiyuan's sister be the head of the CDO department at SK Hynix?
Han Hee-joon asked, "Which department at SK Hynix does your sister work in?"
After a two-second wait, Wu Haiyuan on the other end of the phone said, "I don't know either, it's from SK Hynix."
How old is your sister this year?
Wu Haiyuan didn't answer, but instead asked, "What's wrong? You like older women?"
