Chapter 31 was rejected, twice in a row.
Han Xijun shook his head and said, "It's useless."
Zhang Yuanying quickly said, "I really mean it, please."
Han Xijun replied, "You're really useless."
He couldn't possibly help Zhang Yuanying.
in love?
This is a waste of time for Han Xijun.
Moreover, it was a relationship with ulterior motives.
To put it bluntly, Han Xijun never intended to date anyone, he wasn't attracted to Zhang Yuanying, and he certainly wouldn't date Zhang Yuanying to satisfy her ambitions.
Some people have also sought help from Han Xijun.
They are both female idols.
That's Wu Haiyuan.
Han Xijun agreed to Wu Haiyuan's request because recording the dating show didn't cross his bottom line.
Nothing will change because of recording the program.
Viewers who watched the show might think it would be great if Han Hee-joon and Oh Hae-won could continue to get to know each other after filming the show, and actually start dating after a successful blind date.
But that's just wishful thinking on the part of the audience.
Han Hee-joon promoted the KAKAO Group and AI technology on the show.
Wu Haiyuan promoted the NMIXX group on the show, and Han Xijun also helped her promote NMIXX's songs, creating an opportunity for Wu Haiyuan to showcase her singing ability on the show.
After filming the show, Han Xijun and Wu Haiyuan were already considered to be friends.
At least that's what Han Hee-joon thinks.
Moreover, his "connection" with Wu Haiyuan didn't end after filming the show.
Han Xijun promised Wu Haiyuan on the show that he would give her three AI-assisted apps, and this is the one that Han Xijun and his team are currently developing.
They are all reciprocal.
Han Xijun and his team developed an app that Wu Haiyuan was allowed to try out.
Wu Haiyuan was able to give Han Xijun the most authentic feedback from the user's perspective.
Han Xijun would also subconsciously compare Zhang Yuanying and Wu Haiyuan.
What can Zhang Yuanying give himself?
They can't give me anything.
So there was no reason, and Han Xijun couldn't convince himself either.
Seeing that her plea was having no effect, Zhang Yuanying had a sudden inspiration and said, "It doesn't have to be a real relationship, can't we just pretend?"
Han Xijun muttered the word "pretend" in a questioning tone.
Zhang Yuanying thought there was still hope, so she quickly explained, "Yes, just pretend. There are many such plots in TV dramas, and variety shows too. By the way, I heard that Team Leader Han also recorded a dating variety show. Team Leader Han should understand what I mean."
Soft music flowed gently.
Han Xijun didn't say anything.
Zhang Yuanying looked at Han Xijun expectantly.
She felt that Han Xijun should understand what she meant.
Recording dating shows or other relationship reality shows is just like what she's saying now—it's all pretense, all an act for the audience.
The difference is that the audience of dating shows are real television viewers.
Jang Won-young and Han Hee-joon are performing for Chairman Jung of the Hyundai Kia Group, and are a special audience.
buzz
The disc on the table vibrated.
Zhang Yuanying took the initiative to pick up the tray and said, "I'll go get the tea and coffee."
Zhang Yuanying quickly pulled down her hat brim and adjusted her mask before deliberately slowing her pace as she approached the bar, carrying a tray of grapefruit tea and an iced Americano.
She saw Han Xijun "using" his phone.
Perhaps Han Hee-joon is searching for fake relationships.
We can't rush over there; we need to give Han Xijun time to understand and consider.
Over at the coffee table.
Han Xijun was reading a text message.
The text message was sent to him by his chief of staff.
The content is that the PD of the production team of "72 Hours of Blind Date" contacted the head of the secretariat and asked Han Hee-joon to come to work to re-record the narration of his first meeting with Oh Hae-won on the plane and to accept a simple program interview.
blah blah blah
Han Xijun quickly edited the text message and replied to the head of the secretariat.
Guanghua Gate.
At the entrance of Yipinzhai.
The head of the secretariat just took a taxi to Yipinzhai.
When they went to Yipinzhai, the chief secretary did not accompany them; Kim Bum-soo personally drove Han Hee-joon there.
Sitting in the car, the chief secretary wasn't surprised at all by receiving Han Xijun's reply.
He immediately called back the PD of the "72 Hours of Blind Date" program.
After the call connected, the head of the secretariat said directly, "I'm sorry, Team Leader Han doesn't have time to re-record the program."
The PD didn't have high hopes either.
But I was still a little disappointed when I heard the result.
If there were narration and footage of personal interviews, their fate would have begun the moment they first met on the plane—or rather, when they first "bumped into" each other in the waiting area.
It wasn't a deliberate arrangement; we had actually met by chance before we even knew we were going to be recording a show together.
If it were added to the officially broadcast program, it would undoubtedly be the most unique 72-hour blind date episode since the show's inception.
"Phew~"
I breathed a sigh of relief.
The writer sitting opposite quickly said, "PDnim, we can also try asking Wu Haiyuan Xi."
"What?"
The author explained, "Perhaps if Wu Haiyuan Xi goes to ask Han Xijun Xi for help, it will be successful."
Why?
The author analyzed what he saw and heard from the producers while filming a program in an island nation.
Anyway, Han Hee-joon's description is different from that of the head of the KAKAO Group's secretariat.
She wasn't a taciturn person, and she got along very well with Wu Haiyuan during their date. She even gave Wu Haiyuan a gift, which suggested that she might have some feelings for him.
There was no other way, so the PD said, "Contact Wu Haiyuan Xi."
The writer quickly picked up her phone and searched for Wu Haiyuan's agent's phone number, which was her "lifeline." She had to ask Wu Haiyuan for help no matter what.
Tehran Road.
S Coffee Shop.
Seeing that Han Xijun had put down his phone, Zhang Yuanying quickened her pace and walked over.
She put down the tray and gently placed the grapefruit tea that Han Xijun had ordered in front of him with both hands.
After taking her iced Americano and moving the tray to the table, Zhang Yuanying tentatively asked, "Would Team Leader Han be willing to help me?"
Han Xijun took a sip of grapefruit tea, still holding the teacup in his hand, and looked at Zhang Yuanying, saying, "I don't want to."
Zhang Yuanying spoke quickly, "It's just a pretense. I won't bother Team Leader Han normally, and we don't need to meet. All Team Leader Han needs to do is tell Chairman Zheng that we're dating. No, I can say it either. If Team Leader Han is asked, just say we're dating. It's very simple."
Han Xijun said, "That's a lie."
Zhang Yuanying remarked, "Aren't dating shows just a scam too?"
Han Xijun frowned and asked, "Don't you have anything else to say?"
Zhang Yuanying quickly said, "Yes, and also, does Team Leader Han want to date me? I'm not lying, it's really dating. I won't bother Team Leader Han normally, but I'll be there anytime he needs me."
"Splash!"
Pushing a chair forward, Han Xijun stood up and said, "You probably don't have anything else to say. I hope you keep your promise and don't contact me again."
Zhang Yuanying stood there, stunned.
I watched helplessly as Han Hee-joon left the coffee shop.
What?
You were rejected?
No, the fake ones were rejected, and the real ones were also rejected.
Wow
Rejected twice in a row?
Or was it that you pleaded and were rejected?
Zhang Yuanying couldn't believe it was true.
Am I really that bad?
Even though I've taken the initiative to start a relationship and been so humble that I'm available whenever you call, it still doesn't work.
Be
It has a purpose.
It touched on Han Xijun's principles.
But did the relationship actually violate any principles? It's not like I'm lying.
and many more.
The most crucial point wasn't mentioned.
You should tell Han Xijun that he can break up whenever he wants; it's all up to him.
If that's the case, then maybe there's still a chance.
Change of mind.
Sitting in the chair, Zhang Yuanying couldn't help but wonder if Han Xijun was a normal man.
A normal man facing himself...
Damn it, I'm wearing a mask.
He didn't even look at his own face. What a mistake, a major mistake! He should have taken off his mask. What's with all the crowds in the coffee shop...?
Zhang Yuanying, who had gotten up and was holding an iced Americano, was also ready to leave.
Just as I turned around, more than a dozen people walked into the coffee shop.
They all looked like office workers who had just finished get off work.
Walk towards the door.
Then another twenty or so people came in.
Han Xijun wasn't making things up; there really were a lot of people who came.
Is he concerned about himself?
After all, what if I were photographed with Han Hee-joon at the coffee shop...
No, absolutely not.
The most important thing for an idol is their fans, especially if there are any scandals.
understood.
Zhang Yuanying suddenly realized.
No wonder Han Xijun doesn't date me. He's worried that if his relationship is exposed, his fans will abandon him. That's it, right? That must be it.
People who have a sharp tongue but a soft heart are also exceptionally meticulous.
What? Who exactly is Han Xijun?
