Chapter 59: Was He a Matchmaker?
15th floor, AI R&D center.
in the office.
Han Xijun looked at the few paragraphs written on the A4 paper.
Stare at the English word NSWER.
This word is not a professional term used in the field of AI or a code word, but rather the name of the NMIXX group's fan club that Han Xijun found online after returning to his office.
In addition to searching for the official fan page name, Han Xijun also went to the fan club's website to register an account and pay a membership fee of 3 H yuan.
Membership fees are required for every registered fan and entitle them to benefits not available to non-registered members, such as priority concert ticket purchases, official membership cards, and exclusive content and events.
Benefits are not important to Han Xijun; what he wants is the status of an official fan.
Perhaps because they are newcomers, the number of registered fans in their fan club is very small.
Even Han Xijun, who doesn't care about the entertainment industry, thinks that it's really rare for an idol group to have only four figures of verified fans.
There are quite a few idol artists in H country who have millions or even tens of millions of fans.
This made Han Xijun understand even more deeply the "urgency" of Wu Haiyuan, the group's leader.
Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.
You need to have a huge following first before more casual viewers will turn into fans.
Da da
Han Xijun tapped his pen on the desk and muttered softly, "I wonder if this will make her more confident."
The atmosphere in the large office outside was strange.
On the surface, everyone was working diligently, but there was an invisible, oppressive atmosphere permeating the office, rising from the ceiling.
"Chief Kang"
The employees near the main office door heard the greeting and peeked out. Sure enough, they saw Jiang Minzhi, the head of the group company's secretariat, leading two people into the office.
Walking next to Jiang Minzhi was a beautiful woman with long hair who looked to be around thirty years old, carrying a briefcase in her left hand and a laptop bag in her right.
A man carrying a video camera followed behind him; he looked to be around thirty years old.
An employee noticed that the man was wearing a name tag around his neck.
They watched as the three of them walked through the large office and arrived at the door of Han Xijun's personal office.
The secretary stood up to greet him.
Chief Kang Min-sik told his secretary not to worry about it and went to knock on Han Hee-joon's office door himself.
He pushed open the door and let a man and a woman in together.
blah blah blah
The large office was filled with the crisp sound of keyboards being typed the next second.
In the chat room.
All the staff were asking the secretary the same question: "Secretary Bai, did Director Jiang bring reporters to the team leader's office?"
Secretary Bai replied with a message saying I knew nothing.
I clearly saw it; it's probably because Director Kang Min-sik gave the order, since he's the highest-ranking direct supervisor of all the department secretaries.
Everyone is speculating about the reason why Chief Kang Min-sik suddenly took reporters to Han Hee-joon's office.
in the office.
Han Hee-joon was introduced to Choi Seon-ah, an economic news reporter from H News Agency, by Director Kang Min-sik.
After introducing the two, Jiang Minzhi left the office first.
Han Hee-joon invited reporter Choi Seon-ah and another reporter in charge of filming to sit down.
Only Han Hee-joon and Choi Seon-ah sat on the sofa, while another reporter was quickly setting up a camera position.
Choi Seon-ah said, "It's an honor to be the first reporter to conduct a solo interview with Team Leader Han Hee-joon."
Han Hee-joon responded, "It is an honor to be interviewed by reporter Choi from H News Agency."
Choi Seon-ah said with a smile, "It's rumored that Team Leader Han is a man of few words who never socializes. It seems that the rumors are wrong."
Han Xijun shrugged and said, "In fact, I do not like socializing and I don't talk much."
"You can't tell at all"
"There may be some changes."
Choi Sun-ah glanced back at her colleague, who gave her an OK sign. Without revealing her thoughts, she smoothly continued the conversation, saying, "Team Leader Han, did you encounter someone or something happen that changed your mind? Would you mind telling me?"
Han Xijun nodded slightly.
It wasn't a response to Choi Seon-ah's question, but rather an expression of gratitude to Choi Seon-ah, a reporter with exceptionally high emotional and intellectual intelligence.
There were no awkward one-on-one questions.
This relaxed, conversational interview style, like chatting with a friend, made Han Hee-joon feel no burden or pressure whatsoever.
Following Choi Seon-ah's question, Han Hee-joon slowly replied, "I wonder if Reporter Choi has seen today's trending topics."
Choi Seon-ah chimed in, "Of course I saw it. This is the first time Team Leader Han has been trending on social media with a female idol."
Han Hee-jun said, "Yes, I previously filmed an online variety show in Japan with Oh Hae-won Xi from the NMIXX group. The show was called '72 Hours of Blind Dates,' which was a program that recorded real blind date experiences but wasn't actually a real one."
Choi Seon-ah did not interrupt Han Hee-joon.
Han Xijun said unhurriedly, "The reason I participated in this dating show is entirely because of Wu Haiyuan Xi. I am NSWER."
"NSWER?"
"NSWER is the official fan name for the group NMIXX. I am a fan of NMIXX, or more precisely, I am a fan of Oh Hae-won Xi."
"So when the production team invited ordinary people to record the show, I took the initiative to ask the production team if they could invite Wu Haiyuan Xi from the NMIXX group to appear with me."
"As everyone has seen, my wish as a fan has come true."
"I used to be someone who liked to spend all my time studying and researching, and I had almost no personal life. It was last November that I accidentally saw Wu Haiyuan Xi's video online, and then..."
Time flies by in the blink of an eye.
Han Xijun escorted reporter Cui Shanya and her colleague to the elevator.
She bowed slightly and nodded, saying, "I'll leave it to Reporter Cui."
Choi Seon-ah responded, "Don't worry, Team Leader Han, I will organize today's interview and publish it tomorrow morning."
The elevator doors slowly closed.
Choi Seon-ah turned to her colleague and said, "Did you notice?"
My colleague shook his head
Choi Seon-ah said, "Han Hee-joon suddenly agreed to be interviewed because of today's trending topic, or rather, because of that female idol named Oh Hae-won."
"For a female idol?"
Choi Seon-ah nodded and said, "For the entire hour, Han Hee-joon talked about nothing but that female idol. Do you believe he's a fan?"
"this……"
"People who do research and development don't waste time paying attention to the entertainment industry, let alone chasing celebrities."
"What about Han Xijun and that female idol?"
Choi Seon-ah said, "That's not what we should be concerned about. As Han Hee-joon has already mentioned, the cooperation between Kakao Group and SK Hynix in the AI storage chip business is something we need to pay attention to for the next two or three years, as well as the cooperation with Hyundai Kia Group on AI driving assistance systems."
"What will be the main content of tomorrow's news?"
The elevator arrived at the first floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, Choi Sun-ah patted her colleague's arm and said with a smile, "Junior, the most important thing for us journalists is our network of connections. Now that we know why Han Hee-joon agreed to the interview, we should do him a favor. Learn from him."
"Senior, so tomorrow's article is mainly about Han Hee-joon being a fan of NMIXX's Oh Hae-won? Isn't that Dispatch's reporting style? We're reporters from H-Union, besides..."
"Don't ask, you'll find out later. Let's go, hurry back and finish writing."
As she walked out of the Kakao Group building, Choi Seon-ah looked back and muttered, "Han Hee-joon, Oh Hae-won, am I considered a matchmaker?"
