Peninsula: 72 Hours of Blind Dates

Chapter 88 Handwritten Love Letters

Tehran Road, KAKAO Group Building.

The morning rush hour was as oppressive as ever, with only the sound of hurried footsteps audible.

An iced Americano in hand is a standard for office workers.

In front of the lobby access control.

Han Xijun nodded to the security guard and walked towards the elevator.

He doesn't need to queue and can take a private elevator to and from get off work just like other senior executives in the company.

The employees queuing up next to Han Xijun also took the initiative to greet him, knowing that this young man was a "favorite" of the chairman.

After Han Xijun entered the elevator.

Within the group, some people began to whisper among themselves: "Doesn't Team Leader Han from the AI ​​R&D Center usually wear a work uniform?"

"I also heard that Team Leader Han practically lives at the company, but that's an exaggeration by the people at the AI ​​R&D center."

15 floors.

Han Xijun had just stepped out of the elevator and into the large office when he ran into Baek Eun-hee.

"Good morning"

Han Xijun took the initiative to greet him.

Baek Eun-hee subconsciously scanned Han Hee-joon from head to toe, then quickly responded, "Good morning, team leader."

Han Xijun walked by.

Baek Eun-hee stood frozen for two seconds before cautiously turning around.

Han Hee-joon is different today.

The most obvious example is clothing and appearance.

Han Xijun actually came to work today wearing jeans and a t-shirt, carrying a backpack, looking just like a college student.

He should have been a college student, but he graduated early and was poached by the Kakao Group.

Holding her water cup, Baek Eun-hee walked toward the tea room, still wondering if Han Hee-joon's outfit today was related to Jang Won-young.

The photos posted in the KAKAO chat room last night proved that Han Xijun and Zhang Yuanying met at the Chinese restaurant run by Zhang Yuanying's family. Today, Han Xijun was dressed in a college student style.

hiss~

It's possible that some employees were right; Han Xijun and Zhang Yuanying are secretly dating. That's why Han Xijun didn't return to the company to work overtime after meeting with Zhang Yuanying last night. Could they be...?

"Secretary Bai"

Looking up, Baek Eun-hee saw her colleague standing beside her at some point.

My colleague lowered his voice and asked, "Did you see the team leader just now?"

Baek Eun-hee nodded.

The employee said, "While we were waiting for the elevator downstairs, employees from other departments were talking about our team leader, saying that he's in a relationship."

Baek Eun-hee muttered, "Really?"

A colleague said, "It must be someone in our department who spread the news that our team leader and Wu Haiyuan are dating."

Wu Haiyuan?

Shouldn't it be Zhang Yuanying?

Baek Eun-hee is still struggling to figure out who the female lead is in her relationship with Han Hee-joon.

The temperature in the tea room seemed to have suddenly dropped below zero.

Clang.

The sound of a spoon falling.

Good morning, team leader!

"Good morning"

Han Hee-joon's voice came from beside Baek Eun-hee's ear: "Baek Eun-hee, do you know where the green tea is?"

The colleagues in the break room didn't dare to breathe.

Baek Eun-hee opened the storage cabinet above her head, and tiptoed to reach for the can of green tea. A hand reached out from above her head and took the can first.

My gaze followed the can that had been taken down, landed on the counter in the tea room, and finally fell on Han Xijun's profile.

"I'm sorry, I should have prepared hot tea for the team leader."

Han Xijun used a small pair of tongs to put a few tea leaves into the cup and asked, "Is Baek Eun-hee in a relationship?"

Baek Eun-hee blinked, her mind racing as she pondered why Han Hee-joon would suddenly ask that question.

Lululu.

The kettle in the tea room is boiling.

"Baek Eun-hee?"

Baek Eun-hee said, "Team leader, I'm not in a relationship."

His tone was one of desperately trying to explain.

Han Hee-joon then asked, "Has Baek Eun-hee ever received a confession?"

Baek Eun-hee shook her head.

Han Hee-joon asked again, "What kind of confession would make Baek Eun-hee fall in love and say yes?"

Baek Eun-hee hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

She wanted to ask Han Xijun if he was going to confess his feelings to Zhang Yuanying.

Otherwise, Han Xijun would have no reason to suddenly ask him such a question.

Han Xijun was the only one in the company who knew about her close relationship with Zhang Yuanying, and she had never "bragged" about it to other colleagues.

Therefore, what Han Xijun really wants to know is what kind of confession would make Zhang Yuanying's heart flutter and agree.

too difficult.

During a meal before, Baek Eun-hee asked Jang Won-young if she had received many love letters and confessions, and if many people liked her.

But Jang Won-young herself said that she entered an entertainment agency when she was 13 years old, and rarely went to school after that. She did not receive any love letters or confessions, and she did not even know her classmates.

Zhang Yuanying's childhood experience was completely different from that of ordinary children.

Or perhaps she had no childhood at all. She was trained as a star by an entertainment agency from a very young age, and apart from the intense training and performing activities, her life so far has been truly lonely and monotonous.

As for confessing her feelings, logically speaking, she is at an age where she should be full of longing and expectations for love. However, the entertainment agency would never allow Zhang Yuanying, who already has super popularity and fame, to have personal feelings.

Perhaps Zhang Yuanying herself required herself not to be distracted by other things.

But Zhang Yuanying met Han Xijun.

It's hard for anyone to refuse Han Hee-joon, just as it's hard for anyone to dislike Jang Won-young.

If Han Xijun were to confess his feelings, a handwritten love letter might be a unique way to win over an innocent young girl. After all, romance is everything in a girl's world, and she wouldn't care about the other person's financial situation.

"Baek Eun-hee?"

Coming to her senses, Baek Eun-hee slowly said, "I can't say for sure. Maybe a handwritten love letter would be very touching."

"A handwritten love letter?"

"Yes, it's especially romantic to have never received a handwritten love letter before."

Han Xijun nodded slightly.

The water boiled, Han Xijun poured himself a cup, and headed towards his office with the cup in hand.

"Phew~"

Baek Eun-hee breathed a sigh of relief.

"Secretary Bai"

The sudden approach of the employee startled Baek Eun-hee.

"How could you...?"

"I've been here the whole time, so is Team Leader preparing to confess to Wu Haiyuan? Aren't they already dating?"

Faced with her colleague's question, Baek Eun-hee replied calmly, "Who says you can't confess your feelings while dating?"

Holding her cup, Baek Eun-hee also left the tea room.

Soon, the conversation between Han Xijun and Baek Eun-hee in the tea room spread throughout the entire AI R&D center.

Everyone is speculating whether Han Xijun suddenly had the impulse to get married.

If it's Han Xijun, then that's quite a possibility.

Once the wedding is settled, he can focus on his work without any worries.

The question is whether Wu Haiyuan will agree.

She is an idol, a newly debuted idol.

Some employees said that Han Xijun felt that there was a great opportunity precisely because Wu Haiyuan was a newly debuted idol. After getting married, he would have many choices while he was still young, such as continuing his studies or doing other business, like opening a flower shop or a coffee shop.

It's definitely better than being an idol; it's not as tiring, and you don't have to bear the pressure.

The entertainment company can quickly make personnel adjustments, which will not have a significant impact on the new idol group.

Secretary's office area.

Holding a water glass, Baek Eun-hee glanced back at the office door.

She was wondering whether or not to contact Zhang Yuanying.

The main reason is that Han Xijun usually respects her and takes good care of her at work. She didn't want Han Xijun to prepare alone and ultimately fail.

You can first test Zhang Yuanying's thoughts. If Zhang Yuanying has no intention of being in a relationship, you can also subtly hint to Han Xijun not to confess.

If Jang Won-young likes Han Hee-joon...

Team Leader's Office.

Han Xijun took out his phone and opened the KAKAO chat app, preparing to text Lily to confirm whether Wu Haiyuan had received a handwritten love letter confession.

This is very important.

Baek Eun-hee said that people who have never received a handwritten love letter would find it very romantic.

Han Xijun thought Baek Eun-hee's words made sense.
