Chapter 3 Playing the Emotional Card
As Han Xijun opened the black notebook, his brows gradually furrowed.
The handwriting looked familiar; it belonged to Chief Secretary Kang Min-sik.
The first line reads "72-Hour Blind Date Notes".
Han Xijun only focused on the key words for blind dates.
The information recorded below is the same as what the stranger next to me said; it should be the girl's personal information: born in 03, 20 years old, professional idol singer, 163 cm tall...
Closing his notebook, Han Xijun turned to the girl and said, "Wu Haiyuan Xi?"
Wu Haiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The ordinary people who appeared on the show with me finally know the current situation.
With a bright, innocent smile, her voice rising a few octaves, she cheerfully replied, "From now on, we'll be spending 72 hours together on this blind date. I still don't know what to call you!"
Han Xijun cleared his throat and said, "Han Xijun."
Wu Haiyuan continued, "Okay, Han Xijun, so Han Xijun really didn't know it was a program being recorded before?"
Han Xijun raised his hand and said, "I'm sorry, I don't appear on any programs."
Wu Haiyuan's eyes widened.
Didn't we already confirm the situation through the notebook? Why is it still...?
Han Xijun handed the black notebook to Wu Haiyuan, saying, "Here, take this back."
Wu Haiyuan really didn't know what to do.
This was definitely a broadcasting accident.
No, absolutely not.
We finally got a chance to appear on a show that young people pay attention to, and to promote our group. We can't let it end before it even begins.
Where are the production team members?
Wu Haiyuan subconsciously looked for the production team members.
You can see the whole first-class cabin at a glance.
It seems that apart from her, everyone else is a "business elite".
This online variety show is way too "wild"!
Besides the randomness of the guest stars and the randomness of how they meet, is the filming process also so random, with the actors themselves deciding everything?
outrageous.
At the very least, someone from the production team should be involved in the filming process, and someone should play a mediating role.
Han Xijun was still holding his diary.
In his view, if an item is to be returned to someone, it should be given to that person; otherwise, there will be uncertainties that cannot be clearly explained.
Ding Dong
The cabin announcement stated that the plane would take off in five minutes.
Hey.
My phone is vibrating.
Han Xijun took out his phone.
The caller ID shows Kim Bum-soo, chairman of the KAKAO Group.
"President-nim"
Anxious Wu Haiyuan heard the sound of someone answering a phone call next to him.
I glanced at it and saw that Han Xijun was indeed on the phone.
This also served as a reminder to Wu Haiyuan.
Yes.
Mobile phone.
Quickly take out your phone, open the text message chat box, and send a message to your agent asking for help.
Economy class.
The agent is chatting with the staff of "72 Hours of Blind Dates".
The production team had three members accompanying them on this trip to Tokyo: a program writer, a camera director, and an assistant who coordinated filming locations and also acted as a translator.
The writer is explaining to Wu Haiyuan's agent why the online variety show "72 Hours of Blind Dates" is so popular among young people.
It is precisely because of the random shooting mode.
They met when both parties only knew some basic information.
It's exactly the same as the real-life blind date model.
Young people don't have that much time to spend on blind dates. They will first learn about the basic information of the blind date, and only after meeting and feeling a connection will they get to know each other better. The 72 hours are often the key point for both parties to decide whether to take the relationship further.
Hey.
My phone is vibrating.
Upon seeing the text message, the agent immediately shoved the phone screen in front of the writer and asked, "Writer Kim, what do we do now?"
Writer Jin saw the text message from Wu Haiyuan asking for help.
She was a little confused too.
Yesterday I communicated with the head of the KAKAO Group's secretariat and confirmed all the details of today's recording. Didn't the head of the secretariat notify the person recording the program?
First class.
On the other end of the phone, Chairman Kim Bum-soo's voice came through the receiver to Han Hee-joon's ears: "Has Team Leader Han boarded the plane yet?"
Han Xijun frowned, his left hand gripping his brow, and said with a helpless tone, "Was this arranged by the president?"
Kim Bum-soo paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, then laughed and said, "You met?"
Han Xijun turned his head and glanced at the seat next to him.
Wu Haiyuan was hunched over with his back to Han Xijun, almost lying on the armrest of the seat, seemingly doing something.
"Haa~"
A sigh perfectly expressed Han Xijun's feelings at that moment.
Kim Bum-soo, however, said in a serious tone, "Team Leader Han, this arrangement was made to improve the company's image. As the team leader of the AI R&D team, you should take responsibility."
Han Hee-joon retorted, "Is the chairman serious?"
Kim Bum-soo said in a serious tone, "Team Leader Han, the R&D team is not only responsible for overcoming technical barriers, but also for representing the image of our entire group company to the outside world. We need to let the public know that the R&D team is not a robot, but a group of flesh-and-blood people who are doing this."
"The group company has always been committed to safeguarding the physical and mental health of all employees, so that more talented people have confidence in the company and are willing to join the company to create a better future together."
"So, Team Leader Han, this program is very important. You can't keep avoiding facing the outside world. This is a step you must take as a team leader, and it will greatly help you to better lead the team and unite the staff in the future."
"Anyway, your only task on this business trip to Tokyo is to cooperate in ensuring the successful filming of the program."
Han Xijun asked, "There was no business trip at all, right?"
Kim Bum-soo stopped pretending, but he couldn't push Han Hee-joon too far. No contracts or R&D investments could convince Han Hee-joon. He would be snatched up as soon as he stepped out of the KAKAO Group's door, especially since Hyundai Kia Group had been keeping a close eye on him lately.
There is definitely a way. In Kim Bum-soo's eyes, Han Hee-joon is his younger self. He needs to play the emotional card. Han Hee-joon, who is seen as aloof and taciturn by others, is actually the most sentimental person in his heart.
Softening his tone, Kim Bum-soo also let out a long sigh and said, "Hee-joon, I'm under too much pressure right now. Kakao Group needs a lot of highly skilled professionals in the future. We need to elevate the group's image to that of Microsoft, Nvidia, and Google."
"Joining the company not only allows you to earn money and change your life, but also gives you complete freedom to unleash your talents and imagination. Our company also highly values and cares about all aspects of its employees' lives..."
Han Xijun, not wanting to listen any further, interrupted, "Three days, just these three days, just this once."
Kim Bum-soo quickly chimed in, "Hee-joon, I promise it'll only be this once, how about it? The girl you're going on a blind date with."
"President-nim, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. The plane is taking off soon."
"Hee-joon, don't treat this like a job. What if you meet someone special? You could..."

Kim Bum-soo put down his phone and looked at Kang Min-sik standing next to him, saying, "Chief Kang, are you sure the girl recording the show with Hee-joon is a lively, cheerful, and pretty girl?"
Jiang Minzhi placed the tablet computer in his hand on the coffee table.
The screen displays a document or information.
"Wu Haiyuan, judging from the photo, she is indeed a beautiful girl, but the rest..."
Kang Min-sik said, "Please wait a moment, Chairman."
Then I clicked on a fan-made video of Wu Haiyuan.
The more he looked, the wider Kim Bum-soo's smile became.
With two completely opposite personalities, Han Hee-joon has finally met his match. It will be interesting to see how he changes after returning from Tokyo.
