Chapter 46, Wu Haiyuan!
The news of Han Hee-joon's "abnormal" behavior today quickly spread within the company.
Standing in front of the chairman's desk, Jiang Minzhi reported, "Team Leader Han did indeed tell a veiled joke to Choi Oh-min, an employee of the AI R&D Center."
Kim Bum-soo laughed and said, "It seems that sending Hee-joon to record a dating show was the right decision. This kid can even tell corny jokes now."
Kang Min-sik chimed in, "The female celebrity who filmed the show with Team Leader Han is quite something."
"Keep an eye on it, especially Hee-joon and that female celebrity. Didn't you say they went to Incheon alone for seafood lunch today?"
"Yes, that seafood restaurant is indeed run by the actress's aunt."
Another fact that surprised Kim Bum-soo.
Kim Bum-soo laughed and said, "This kid has really come to his senses; he's already met the parents so quickly."
Kang Min-sik was about to say something when Kim Bum-soo interrupted him, asking him to postpone his afternoon meeting with Woori Bank by half an hour.
the other side.
Cheongdam-dong, JYP Entertainment.
Pushing open the door to the practice room, the members were all drinking coffee that Wu Haiyuan had bought.
Zhang Guizhen looked at Wu Haiyuan as he entered and exclaimed, "What's going on? Unnie even bought us coffee!"
Wu Haiyuan replied, "I'll tell you to be more alert during class this afternoon."
Kim Ji-woo swirled his coffee cup and asked, "Is today's class a Chinese language lesson?"
The members immediately started discussing this.
Before their debut, the company had no plans for NMIXX to enter the Chinese market.
It's not that the company doesn't value the Chinese market, but rather that there's simply no opportunity to develop there.
According to professional data analysis by the company, more than half of the album sales and other achievements of established groups are attributed to the real financial support and encouragement from Chinese fans.
They had heard from their close seniors more than once that if they could get the support of Chinese fans, they were not far from success.
So even if there's no opportunity to enter the Chinese market, and even if we can only tour in a few relatively open special cities like other senior groups in the company, as long as we learn Chinese well and show our attitude, we will definitely get the most sincere support and encouragement from our fans.
I heard the company is going to arrange a live online broadcast.
"Live stream?"
"Yeah, (G)I-DLE's seniors have gained a lot of fans through their online live streams, especially Yuqi's seniors."
"So, senior-nim was originally Chinese, right?"
"No matter what, we're definitely on the right track to learning Chinese well."
The members all turned to look at Wu Haiyuan.
The captain is definitely right.
But the members suddenly remembered something.
Bae Jinsol said, "I almost forgot, didn't Unnie go to the studio this morning to re-record the show with Han Hee-joon? It's over already?"
Wu Haiyuan said, "Re-recording the program won't take much time."
Xue Lun'e muttered, "Didn't they say they were going to re-record the narration and do some interviews? The narration alone will take at least half a day, considering it's three days' worth of program content."
Wu Haiyuan changed the subject: "Have you all warmed up your voices yet? We're about to start vocal lessons. Just learning Mandarin isn't enough. At the very least, our singing and dancing skills need to meet the most basic live performance standards."
The members' eyes all changed.
Compared to gossip, the pursuit of dreams is definitely above all else.
The pressure they face after debuting is greater and more direct than during their trainee period. Now is not the time for them to be distracted; they must focus on improving themselves and redeeming their debut reputation in the next comeback.
In the blink of an eye.

Icheon, Gyeonggi Province
The SK Hynix Group building, a subsidiary of the SK Group.
The new CDO department office was established to connect with the AI R&D center of the KAKAO Group.
Wu Zhiyuan, working at the second development station, stared at his phone screen with a "depressed" expression.
After making 25 consecutive phone calls with no answer, Wu Zhiyuan's patience was almost completely worn out.
The workstation next door.
My colleague slid his office chair closer and asked in a low voice, "Still no news?"
Wu Zhiyuan shook his head.
My colleague asked, "Does your sister really know Han Xijun, the team leader at the KAKAO Group's R&D center?"
For a moment, Wu Zhiyuan was also a little unsure.
How can I tell if the person eating with Wu Haiyuan in the photos posted by my aunt in the family chat room is Han Xijun?
His face is very distinctive.
Handsome men shouldn't work in corporate offices; they should be actors, or at the very least, idols.
Moreover, when Wu Haiyuan spoke to him on the phone before, Wu Haiyuan personally admitted that the person he had dinner with was Han Xijun.
Upon confirming the news, Wu Zhiyuan's first reaction was to ask his sister, Wu Haiyuan, to invite Han Xijun to dinner.
This was the first time in my life I'd asked my sister for help, and I never expected her to be so unreliable. I told her to reply quickly, but it was already past 5 p.m. and I hadn't heard from her at all; she wasn't even answering my calls.
A colleague comforted her, saying, "I've always heard that Team Leader Han Xijun never socializes outside of work and is a loner. Maybe your sister knows another Han Xijun with the same name."
"Besides, the department head has asked Team Leader Han Xijun out to dinner several times. They said he went to Japan before, and they haven't been able to get him to come back. I guess only our president can get Team Leader Han Xijun to come to dinner."
Wu Zhiyuan remained staring at his phone screen.
She knew what her colleague was saying, because even the minister rarely saw her. If she could arrange to meet him for a meal and build connections, it would definitely help her future career prospects.
Continue making the call.
Having lost all hope, Wu Zhiyuan assumed that Wu Haiyuan might be recording a program.
Besides this reason, she couldn't think of any other reason why Wu Haiyuan wouldn't answer her calls.
"Beep beep beep"
Just as the 28th phone call was about to end.
The call was suddenly answered.
A voice called "Unnie" came through the receiver.
Wu Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to react, his sharp gaze fixed on the phone screen as if trying to see through the phone to see if the other end had actually answered the call.
"Unnie?"
Coming to his senses, Wu Zhiyuan picked up his phone, stood up, and walked towards the office door, saying, "Hey, why didn't you answer my call?"
Wu Haiyuan was startled by the "Ah!" and stammered, "I can't use my phone during class."
"Go to class? What class? Are you a student? Are you kidding me?"
It was obvious that Wu Zhiyuan was irritable. Wu Haiyuan muttered aggrievedly, "It's vocal and language lessons arranged by the company."
Wu Zhiyuan, having walked out of the office, stood against the wall in the corridor and said, "Alright, what about the thing I asked you to do?"
"What is it?"
"Wu Haiyuan, are you really going to do this?"
Wu Haiyuan uttered "Ahhh" three times and asked, "Is it about inviting you to dinner?"
"Yes, how is it?"
"I didn't ask."
"What? Oh, you didn't ask? Why didn't you ask?"
Wu Haiyuan explained, "Han Xijun is busy with work."
"I'm happy to have lunch with you, but asking you to help me arrange dinner together in the evening means I'm busy with work?"
"Unnie, let me explain. We had lunch together because..."
