Chapter 58 He Wants to Be a Hero and Save the Beauty
JYP Entertainment, practice room.
During his break, Wu Haiyuan checked his phone and found that his mother, sister, and Han Xijun had called him many times.
Wu Haiyuan answered Han Xijun's call first because he was worried that Han Xijun might have an "urgent matter" to contact him.
Because his mother and sister are family, Wu Haiyuan can put them "behind" in his heart.
I didn't expect Han Xijun to be with his mother.
Wu Haiyuan was stunned for a good ten seconds before he came to his senses upon hearing this.
She called Han Xijun and explained the situation of the trending topics to her mother. She and her group needed the current trending topics. Before ending the call, she specifically told her mother not to worry about Wu Zhiyuan. She and the members were practicing hard in the practice room for the next stage performance.
Hey.
My phone is vibrating.
My sister called again.
Wu Haiyuan picked up his phone and walked towards the practice room door, saying to the members, "I'm going to the restroom."
After Wu Haiyuan left the practice room, the members looked at each other and said the same thing: "Is he going to call that person again?"
Although the name wasn't mentioned directly, in NMIXX's mind, that person was Han Hee-joon.
The members also had their own concerns.
The main issue is that it's unclear how Han Xijun views the trending topics.
Based on Wu Haiyuan's previous description of the recording process, it seems that Han Xijun is someone who doesn't like to "show off" himself. Given his "status," it shouldn't be a problem for Naver to delete trending topics.
Haiyuan wanted to use the trending topic to let more people know about NMIXX. Perhaps the two of them did not reach an "agreement", which is why they kept communicating by phone.
It's possible that Haiyuan calling Han Xijun from a secluded spot was him "begging" Han Xijun not to delete the trending topic.
"Hey, is there anything we can do for Haiyuan?"
"That's right, Hae-won unnie has been carrying too much on her own, this can't go on."
"Doesn't Hae-won unnie usually like to eat peach gummies?"
"Yes, gummy candies."
I'll buy it at the convenience store.
"etc……"
Outside in the corridor, Wu Haiyuan walked briskly to the stairwell.
She glanced up first, listened quietly for any other sounds, then removed her hand from the phone's microphone and lowered her voice, saying, "Unnie, what's up with the call?"
"Wow, Wu Haiyuan, you really are..."
Wu Haiyuan quickly reassured her, "Unnie, don't get excited. I told my mom to tell you not to worry about me. I'm practicing with the members at the company."
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"I didn't mean to ignore your calls, unnie. Did something happen?"
"You're asking me? What did you talk about with Team Leader Han and your mother? They're being so secretive and won't tell me anything."
Wu Haiyuan told her sister that she only needed the popularity of trending topics and that she shouldn't do anything else.
After listening, Wu Zhiyuan asked for confirmation, "You really mean we shouldn't do anything?"
Wu Haiyuan replied affirmatively, "Yes, that's really what they said."
Wu Zhiyuan muttered, "But why do I feel like this isn't right? It's clearly..."
the other side.
Tehran Road, KAKAO Group headquarters building.
Han Xijun sped back to the company and headed straight for his personal office in the AI R&D center.
The staff in the large office felt a strange sense of unease as they watched Han Xijun rushing around.
They exchanged glances, each employee's eyes asking what could have made the usually calm and collected Han Xijun so flustered.
splash
Kwon Ji-ho pushed back his chair and stood up.
The employee next to him gestured towards the office, and Kwon Ji-ho picked up his laptop and walked towards Han Hee-joon's office.
Everyone was waiting for Kwon Ji-ho to confirm what had happened, but instead of knocking and entering the office, Kwon Ji-ho stood at the door talking to his secretary.
in the office
blah blah blah
All that could be heard was the rapid clicking of keyboards.
Han Xijun, who was staring at the computer screen, picked up the banknotes on the table and wrote something down. Then he picked up his phone and made a call.
Doodle
The call connected, and Han Xijun said, "Chief Kang."
The voice that came from the other end was that of Kang Min-sik, the head of the chairman's secretariat: "Team Leader Han, is there something you need?"
Han Hee-joon said, "We already had an interview invitation. Could you please ask Director Kang to contact the reporter and see if they have time for the interview?"
After a moment of silence, Director Jiang on the other end of the phone asked, "Is Team Leader Han going to give an interview?"
Han Xijun replied with a "yes".
Jiang Minzhi paused for a few seconds before saying, "I'll make a call and arrange it right away."
"Thanks"
"You're welcome"
It refers to arrangements, not communication or inquiries, implying that reporters will definitely come to interview Han Hee-joon.
Leaning back against the pillow in his office chair, Han Xijun breathed a sigh of relief.
39th floor.
Dong dong dong
"Come in"
Pushing open the door to the chairman's office, Jiang Minzhi quickly walked to the desk and said, "Chairman, Team Leader Han just called and asked me to arrange an interview for him."
Kim Bum-soo frowned and asked, "What? Who?"
When Kang Min-sik heard Han Hee-joon say this on the phone, his reaction was similar to that of Chairman Kim Bum-soo.
Han Xijun is not a celebrity, but his fame and status in the field of artificial intelligence are in no way inferior to those celebrities.
It can be said that he was considered a "genius" by the audience since middle school. Even after joining the KAKAO Group as the head of the AI R&D center, Han Xijun always refused all interview invitations.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Kim Bum-soo was confident that no other company had "poached" Han Hee-joon, because the decision-making power and technical support that the Kakao Group could give Han Hee-joon were something that no other company could provide.
For a moment, Kim Bum-soo couldn't think of a reason why Han Hee-joon would suddenly agree to an interview.
Kang Min-sik cautiously asked, "President, could this be related to today's trending topics?"
Kim Bum-soo asked in confusion, "Trending topics?"
Jiang Minzhi continued, "This is just my personal guess. Maybe Team Leader Han wants to help Wu Haiyuan Xi share the pressure. All the comments online are insulting Wu Haiyuan Xi, and Team Leader Han feels that this is not Wu Haiyuan Xi's fault, so..."
Suddenly, Chairman Kim Bum-soo's loud laughter filled the quiet office.
As the laughter subsided, Chairman Kim Bum-soo pointed at Kang Min-sik and said, "Chief Kang, hurry up and finalize the interview. Hee-joon has really figured things out now, he even knows how to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, hahaha."
Kang Min-sik immediately took out his phone and contacted reporters in front of Kim Bum-soo.
Although Han Hee-joon asked him to do this, Kang Min-sik knew that he needed Kim Bum-soo's consent before he could carry it out.
The main reason is that Han Hee-joon plays a very important role in the Kakao Group, and any word he says can have an "impact" on the company.
The chairman nodded in agreement, stating that whatever happened, it would be none of his responsibility as the middleman responsible for making the contact.
In the workplace, anyone who can rise to the position of head of the secretariat in a group company at a young age is no ordinary person.
Kang Min-sik was also curious whether it was as Chairman Kim Bum-soo had analyzed, that Han Hee-joon's sudden acceptance of the interview was a way to play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
