Can we discuss Chapter 28 separately? After the dinner party.
Han Xijun, who was walking in front, did not understand the reason for Chairman Zheng's arrangement.
Does it mean I have to bind myself to it?
Is it to use a female idol to give someone leverage over you or something?
and then?
Go work for Hyundai-Kia Group?
Aren't they discussing the possibility of cooperation between the two group companies right now in the private room?
If it's about AI technology collaboration, there's absolutely no need for a female idol to approach you, let alone use her beauty to seduce you.
The very purpose of an AI R&D team is to develop more AI technology products and to collaborate with more companies.
To make society more convenient and facilitate the daily work and life of the public.
Doing this kind of thing.
Han Hee-joon, on the contrary, would scoff at the underhanded tactics of chaebol corporations.
Is this how they all started?
Any condition is negotiable as long as the benefits outweigh the costs.
Not to mention a female idol.
In the eyes of the chaebol, Zhang Yuanying was at most a valuable tool to be used, and even that value depended on Han Xijun's wishes.
Pitiful.
Han Xijun, who doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, genuinely felt sorry for Zhang Yuanying.
But there should be a limit to how pitiful people should be.
This isn't a dating show; Han Hee-joon would never participate in a bargaining scheme because of Jang Won-young's pitiful state or his own ambitions.
to be honest.
She brought this misery upon herself.
Han Xijun had no reason to help Zhang Yuanying.
He's not the type to think with his lower body; he won't do anything just because Jang Won-young is pretty and has a good figure.
Splash!
Back in the private room.
Han Hee-joon overheard Chairman Jung talking to Kim Bum-soo about the application of AI in cars.
Chairman Zheng said with some regret, "I'm still a step behind Chairman Cui."
When Kim Bum-soo saw Han Hee-joon return, he waved and said, "Team Leader Han."
Han Xijun quickly composed himself. Although he wouldn't do anything for Zhang Yuanying, Han Xijun felt he shouldn't reveal Chairman Zheng's plans in front of him.
Walking to the dining table, Kim Bum-soo patted Han Hee-joon's arm and said, "Chairman Jung wants to launch a new energy vehicle project, while also equipping gasoline vehicles with more AI-assisted functions to enhance the driving experience."
"Isn't Team Leader Han's team currently developing an app that can answer various needs using language, and also an app to assist with travel? If these are integrated into a navigation system, I think it's possible to develop an AI product that provides drivers with a better driving experience and life assistance. What do you think?"
Han Xijun paused for a moment and then said, "Theoretically, it is possible. AI-assisted voice commands can bring up navigation routes or recommend restaurants, cafes, etc., which will provide drivers with more convenient assistance and will not affect the safety of drivers while driving."
Zhang Yuanying also came in.
She gently closed the door to the private room and walked to the seat next to Han Xijun.
Her gaze remained fixed on Han Xijun.
Her face was no longer pale; instead, her cheeks were rosy.
Chairman Jung and Kim Bum-soo both noticed it.
The two exchanged a glance.
They thought it was the same thing.
Han Xijun also noticed Zhang Yuanying returning.
Han Xijun knew that the blush on Zhang Yuanying's cheeks was a result of nervousness and guilt.
Chairman Zheng said, "It's a pity that Team Leader Han is currently leading his team to tackle SK's memory chip business, so he probably can't afford to be distracted."
Han Hee-joon also spoke frankly: "Chairman Jung, my team and I do need to focus on developing SK memory chip business for the next six months."
Chairman Jung suddenly asked Kim Bum-soo, "General Motors hasn't contacted Chairman Kim, has they?"
Han Xijun returned to his seat.
After pulling out a chair and sitting down, Han Xijun reached for the yogurt on the table.
Zhang Yuanying reacted quickly, getting up and grabbing the yogurt, saying, "Let me pour it for you."
Han Xijun caught a glimpse of the executive director looking in their direction out of the corner of his eye, said "thank you," and did not stop Zhang Yuanying.
You can vaguely hear Chairman Jung talking to Kim Bum-soo about research and development, as well as about competitors like General Motors and some companies that Han Hee-joon has never heard of.
The general idea is that car companies are now moving towards new energy and AI technologies.
To maintain its market advantage, Hyundai-Kia Group needs to accelerate its generational upgrades in the competition of conventional gasoline vehicles, while also keeping pace with the development of new energy vehicles.
The discussion touched on the world's largest market, China.
They expressed concern about the gradual decline in Hyundai's market share in China.
To regain market share in China, we especially need the support of AI technology. We need to be the first to develop some representative products before Chinese technology companies and car manufacturers, and we need to register and obtain patent rights first.
Han Xijun did not participate in the discussion.
But he knew that the result Hyundai-Kia wanted was definitely closely related to his research and development team.
He also began to understand why he had Zhang Yuanying approach him.
The key is to prioritize Hyundai-Kia Group above all else. At the very least, Han Hee-joon must focus on Hyundai-Kia Group's future projects and must not have any connection with competing companies.
Shouldn't all of these depend on the company's arrangements?
All Han Xijun needs is all the resources he needs, a research and development center, and equally excellent colleagues.
"Team Leader Han"
Zhang Yuanying's voice came to my ears.
Han Xijun slowly turned his head.
Zhang Yuanying let out a breath, looked into Han Xijun's eyes, and said, "Can we talk alone? After the dinner?"
the other side.
Cheongdam-dong, JYP Entertainment.
In the practice room.
Seaweed rice rolls and vegetable salads were placed in front of the members.
Park Jin took a small bite and said, "I think Hae Won, you fell in love at first sight."
Wu Haiyuan swallowed the seaweed rice roll in his mouth, his eyes widening as he exclaimed, "Who? Me? Me, love at first sight? That's absurd, I've never believed in love at first sight!"
Kim Ji-woo muttered, "Today, unnie mentioned 'we' a total of 59 times while we were filming the show."
Wu Haiyuan turned to look at Jin Zhiyou and asked, "What are you muttering about?"
Jang Gyujin raised her voice and said, "Jiwoo said that when Unnie was talking about her experiences recording the show, she used the word 'we' 59 times to describe Unnie and Han Hee-joon."
"Me? Did I?"
Xue Lun'e said, "Zhiyou has been counting the whole time, so there should be some."
Wu Haiyuan, recalling Kim Ji-woo's strange behavior earlier, said speechlessly, "Ji-woo, so you were counting on your fingers to remember this?"
Kim Ji-woo nodded and said, "Yes, unnie."
Their obedient demeanor made it impossible to utter any words of "reprimand".
Bae So-jin slowly said, "Actually, Unnie herself didn't realize that every time Han Hee-joon was mentioned during the three days of recording the show, Unnie's tone would automatically turn into a coquettish tone, her eyes would be full of affection, and she would even get shy."
Wu Haiyuan pointed to himself: "It's me again?"
The reaction was very strong.
The members nodded in unison and said, "Yes, it's Unnie/Haewon."
If one person says this, it could be spreading rumors or stirring up trouble.
With so many people saying this, Wu Haiyuan himself began to have some doubts.
When sharing my experience of recording the show with the other members, Han Hee-joon's image always kept popping into my mind.
She herself was unaware of her expression, gaze, and tone of voice at the time.
That should be normal.
Furthermore, Wu Haiyuan does not believe that he added exaggerated descriptions to MSG.
These are all real experiences. Indeed, Han Hee-joon said a lot to cooperate with the recording of the program, and took care of me in some very small details. He would also give me gifts like on a real date, especially the gold badge I got from shooting.
The members were all envious after seeing it.
This is absolutely a unique gift from Country H.
Maybe I'll own it all by myself.
At most, that's when I might feel proud, just that's about it, nothing else...
"Is Unnie thinking about Han Hee-joon again?"
I don't know who asked that.
Wu Haiyuan snapped out of his reverie and denied it, saying, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm so grateful to him, don't cause him any trouble."
"Oh~ Is unnie protecting Han Hee-joon?"
"See? This is what it means for a girlfriend to protect her boyfriend, that's it."
Wu Haiyuan stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Behind her, the members shouted all at once, "Don't worry, unnie, we won't eavesdrop on your phone call. Take your time, no rush."
