Chapter 30: Is it useful to ask for your help?
Zhang Yuanying stood there, stunned, by the roadside.
She never expected Han Xijun to flag down a taxi.
She wondered if Han Xijun hadn't driven over.
That shouldn't be the case.
Zhang Yuanying originally wanted to talk to Hanjiang Park.
Although reporters might appear at Hangang Park, there are also many citizens there, so it's perfectly fine to just park in the parking lot and chat.
There are also alternatives.
If Han Xijun finds it inconvenient, he can go to an open-air drive-in movie theater.
Alternatively, Han Xijun could choose the location.
Anyway, the space inside the car is a good place to talk.
But if it's a taxi...
No wonder Han Xijun asked himself if this was how he got through it all.
Han Xijun, who had already opened the back door, stood by the door looking at Zhang Yuanying.
It means to let her get in the car.
Coming to her senses, Zhang Yuanying walked towards the taxi and whispered, "I'm sorry."
It was an apology for his distraction.
Han Xijun did not respond.
He watched as Zhang Yuanying got into the back seat and gently closed the car door.
Han Xijun then opened the passenger seat and got into the car.
Bang
After closing the car door and fastening his seatbelt, Han Xijun asked the driver to take him to Tehran Road.
Zhang Yuanying dared not speak easily.
I took my phone, accessed the page, edited the message, and sent it.
The car has just started.
Han Xijun, sitting in the passenger seat, took out his phone and glanced at it after hearing the text message notification.
It was sent from an unknown number.
Fortunately, the message clearly stated the sender's identity at the beginning.
It was Zhang Yuanying in the back seat who sent the message, asking Han Xijun where he planned to go.
Han Xijun originally wanted to speak directly, but noticing that the taxi driver kept looking in the rearview mirror, he frowned and replied with a text message.
Zhang Yuanying received a text message from Han Xijun.
It wasn't telling him where they were going next, but rather a reminder—a reminder of Zhang Yuanying's skirt and chest.
Zhang Yuanying was only thinking about how to persuade Han Xijun to help her, forgetting that she was wearing a strapless black dress with a very short hem that didn't even reach her knees.
You should take good care of yourself when sitting in a taxi.
It turns out that Han Xijun noticed that his skirt was short and that it was a strapless outfit.
After adjusting her strapless top, Zhang Yuanying simply moved to the right side of the car door, completely "hiding" herself behind the passenger seat.
Just then, I overheard Han Xijun in the passenger seat coldly telling the driver, "Please drive safely."
It's like a "warning" to taxi drivers.
Zhang Yuanying wondered to herself, "Just what kind of person is this Han Xijun?"
When Han Xijun "trapped" her in the bathroom, he spoke directly and with the same cold tone. Zhang Yuanying thought that Han Xijun was the kind of straight man who didn't care about anyone, but she didn't expect him to still "take care" of her.
He must be the kind of person who is frank and sincere.
That was Zhang Yuanying's assessment at the time, which is why she chose to communicate frankly with Han Xijun as well.
After all, people with this kind of personality disdain playing mind games. They say what they think, and they seem to trust someone unconditionally once they choose to do so. This is why Zhang Yuanying continues to "fight" for his ambitions.
Although she is young, Zhang Yuanying is by no means a novice in society. She has seen, heard, been in contact with, and experienced a lot. She knows the methods to succeed and understands that hard work alone cannot prevent failure.
After leaving the private room with Han Xijun, Zhang Yuanying's mind was filled with thoughts of testing whether Han Xijun also fit the type of person who is sharp-tongued but kind-hearted.
A short message provided the answer; that's probably it.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have reminded herself to protect her "outfit" and warned the taxi driver.
Zhang Yuanying felt there was still a chance to break through.
However, the biggest challenge is dealing with people who are frank, sincere, sharp-tongued but kind-hearted, and often have the strongest principles.
Han Xijun had already stated at the bathroom door that he was not interested in his own ambitions, meaning he would never do anything to help him achieve them; that was his principle.
Zhang Yuanying was truly at a loss as to how to change a person's principles.
Speechless all the way.
Cars shuttle along the wide avenue.
The bustling night market scenes on the street kept flashing by.
Tehran Road.
The high-end office buildings that towered into the clouds on both sides of the street were brightly lit.
The social elites are still working overtime.
Han Xijun pointed ahead and told the driver to stop the car.
After paying the fare, Han Xijun got out of the car.
Zhang Yuanying, who was in the back seat, quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
I looked around.
Tehran Road truly offers a different side of Seoul.
Zhang Yuanying rarely comes here. Seeing the tall buildings in front of her, she couldn't help but think that some TV dramas' glamorous opening scenes must have been filmed here.
It feels much more upscale than other places.
Everyone who works here is a high-paid elite.
Let's go.
Turning her gaze away, Zhang Yuanying quickly followed Han Xijun.
My heels feel a little uncomfortable.
The high heels I wore today were new, and they hurt my feet a bit.
Luckily, I had put a band-aid on my heel beforehand to protect it.
Han Xijun walked slowly and stopped in front of a coffee shop.
S Coffee Shop is the most famous coffee shop brand in Country H.
The decor is luxurious, and the selection of drinks and pastries is extensive. The baristas and pastry chefs are among the best professionals in the industry, and even the waiters are qualified to work at S Coffee Shop only if they can speak at least English, Hungarian, and some other basic foreign languages.
It feels like I'm living in a TV drama.
Upon entering the coffee shop and reaching the bar, Han Xijun ordered a grapefruit tea.
The waiter asked Zhang Yuanying, and Zhang Yuanying ordered an iced Americano.
She needs to keep a clear head.
Han Xijun paid the bill and walked to the right front with the waiting plate in his hand.
I did not choose an available window seat.
Han Xijun went straight to the table in front of the bookshelf in the coffee shop.
This was definitely not his first time here. Han Xijun skillfully pulled a book from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.
Zhang Yuanying pulled out a chair and slowly sat down, asking curiously, "Does Team Leader Han come here often?"
Han Xijun flipped through the book and casually replied, "I come here occasionally when I want to relax my mind."
Stopping her flipping through the book, she looked up at Zhang Yuanying, who had taken off her mask, and said, "Put it on, there will be a lot of people later."
Zhang Yuanying felt that wearing a mask while communicating face-to-face was impolite.
Moreover, she also wanted Han Xijun to see her "frankness and sincerity".
However, I put my mask back on.
Han Xijun closed the book and put it back on the shelf.
Zhang Yuanying asked, "Why aren't you reading?"
Han Xijun said, "You can say whatever you want to say."
Sure enough, he's heartless.
Can't we even exchange pleasantries?
You must get straight to the point, quickly reach a conclusion, and end the conversation quickly.
Zhang Yuanying genuinely couldn't think of a suitable way to change Han Xijun's principles.
But we can't say nothing at all.
She was the one who suggested changing the location to talk to Han Xijun.
"Phew~"
With a long sigh of relief, Zhang Yuanying adjusted the brim of his hat.
Do not remove your mask.
But at the very least, Han Hee-joon needs to see his eyes.
The eyes don't lie.
Except for established actors when filming.
Zhang Yuanying doesn't think she has that kind of acting skill.
After raising the brim of her hat and pulling down her mask, Zhang Yuanying looked into Han Xijun's eyes and slowly said, "Would it do any good to beg for your help?"
