Chapter 71 The Two Who Disappeared
The rest area on the left side of the lobby.
Zhang Yuanying kept a close eye on the elevator entrance behind the access control passage.
Han Xijun was among the people who got out of one of the elevators after it reached the first floor.
"Phew~"
Take a deep breath to calm yourself.
The tension that was building up was entirely due to the "chance encounter" scenarios that kept flashing through Zhang Yuanying's mind.
How can we create a natural "chance encounter"?
Should I carry the bags and wait at the entrance of the access control channel?
The reason is that it allows Baek Eun-hee to see where she is at a glance.
This method seems to be the best.
After all, once they exited the access control channel, Han Xijun couldn't possibly search for himself in some corner of the lobby with Baek Eun-hee.
However, if you just stand there at the entrance of the access control channel, there will be no way to handle any "accidents" that happen to the many people coming in and out.
She didn't want to be recognized.
Given his own public profile, his sudden appearance at the KAKAO Group without any prior work commitments will undoubtedly spread rapidly online.
Meeting an older sister I know is no problem.
However, if the company finds out that you acted "on your own initiative," you will most likely be reprimanded.
At least for this moment, the company thought it was still shooting a pictorial.
You don't necessarily have to stand at the access control gate in advance.
In sight
A familiar figure stepped out of the innermost elevator.
Without hesitation, Zhang Yuanying strode towards the access control gate.
His eyes locked onto that figure.
Zhang Yuanying saw not Baek Eun-hee, but Han Hee-joon.
Completely different from the sophisticated suits and ties worn by employees of large corporations in TV dramas, Han Hee-joon, dressed in jeans and a gray polo shirt, stood out among a group of people dressed formally.
Baek Eun-hee, who was half a step behind Han Hee-joon, immediately looked around for Jang Won-young after exiting the elevator.
Among the coming and going crowd, Baek Eun-hee quickly "discovered" Jang Won-young.
That tall figure exuded a different aura even in a very ordinary white t-shirt and jeans.
Baek Eun-hee muttered, "Oh, it really is Won-young."
He couldn't help but quicken his pace.
As you approach the access control gate, you can see that Baek Eun-hee is definitely wearing a hat and a mask, and that the tall, slender figure walking towards you is Jang Won-young.
"Have you grown taller again? You already had a perfect nine-head-to-body ratio. Cough, these legs are longer than my life. I didn't know long legs looked so good in jeans. Wow, this is a figure that only exists in comic books."
By the side.
Baek Eun-hee heard someone say, "What is Baek Eun-hee saying?"
Bai Enxi casually replied, "A younger sister I know has an absolutely amazing figure."
Realizing what was happening, Baek Eun-hee turned around and saw Han Hee-joon. A little embarrassed, she asked, "Was that the team leader talking to me just now?"
Han Xijun didn't reply, but instead looked at the figure walking towards him.
There was an indescribable sense of familiarity.
drop
The access control is open.
Baek Eun-hee, holding her employee badge, said to Han Hee-joon, "Team leader, please go out first."
Han Xijun looked away and nodded to Bai Enxi, saying, "Thank you."
As Han Xijun stepped out of the access control passage, he pondered the source of that inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch.
Han Xijun, who rarely goes downstairs at noon, had made an appointment to have lunch with his classmate from KAIST today. His classmate works at OpenAI in the United States and just returned from the United States last night. Han Xijun had some things to "ask for advice" on.
"Hello"
A figure blocked Han Xijun's path.
Lowering his left hand, Han Xijun looked up at the person wearing a hat and replied, "Hello."
Baek Eun-hee walked up to Han Hee-joon and said to the man in the hat, "Won-young, let's go to the coffee shop."
Yuan Ying?
Han Xijun frowned slightly.
The name reminded him of Zhang Yuanying, and it was the only name that came to mind for him.
After the last dinner—or more accurately, after we met at the coffee shop next to the company building—we haven't had any other contact besides receiving text messages from Zhang Yuanying every day, and we haven't met in person.
They had agreed that Zhang Yuanying wouldn't contact him.
How did she end up at the company?
Jang Won-young said to Baek Eun-hee, "Unnie, wait a minute."
Baek Eun-hee looked completely bewildered.
She had just witnessed Zhang Yuanying "go astray".
Zhang Yuanying was clearly heading this way; she must have seen me exit the elevator before coming towards the access control. But instead, she turned left and walked towards Han Xijun.
Baek Eun-hee quickly ran over and heard Jang Won-young greeting Han Hee-joon.
It's perfectly normal to know Han Hee-joon.
But it's not normal for a young girl who has nothing to do with the tech field to know Han Xijun.
Young girls are concerned with idols, actors, appearance management, body management, new clothes and bags from certain brands, and popular online stores that attract many visitors.
Especially Zhang Yuanying.
I've never heard Zhang Zhenying mention that her sister is interested in the technology industry.
Perhaps it's because Han Hee-joon and Oh Hae-won from the NMIXX group trended on social media?
Did Jang Won-young recognize Han Hee-joon because she had seen him on a variety show?
possible.
only……
While Baek Eun-hee was still in a daze, Jang Won-young stepped in front of Han Hee-joon and said, "Team Leader Han, it's been a long time."
Han Xijun replied with the two words, "It's you."
Zhang Yuanying said, "I'm not here to see Team Leader Han."
Coming to her senses, Baek Eun-hee interjected, "Team leader, Won-young came to see me."
After speaking, Baek Eun-hee looked back and forth between Han Hee-joon and Jang Won-young, who were standing face to face, and asked timidly, "But, does Team Leader-nim and Won-young know each other?"
Zhang Yuanying spoke first, saying, "Unnie, there shouldn't be anyone in our country who doesn't know Team Leader Han, right?"
That statement is both right and wrong.
Han Xijun moved half a step to the right.
Jang Won-young also moved half a step to the right, but still looked at Baek Eun-hee and said, "Unnie, go to the coffee shop and wait for me. I want to take a picture with Team Leader Han."
"What?"
"Please, I know where the coffee shop is."
Baek Eun-hee looked at Han Hee-joon.
Han Xijun stood there without saying a word.
There is an answer.
If Han Xijun didn't want to, he would definitely walk around Zhang Yuanying who was blocking his way, or he would ask Han Xijun to take good care of the friend who came looking for him, meaning he would ask Han Xijun to keep Zhang Yuanying out of the way.
Although she was very curious about what had happened between Jang Won-young and Han Hee-joon, Baek Eun-hee could only go to the coffee shop to wait for Jang Won-young.
He looked back every three steps.
Baek Eun-hee muttered, "What's going on? Won-young isn't usually this reckless. Team leader is also acting strangely. Did the two of them know each other before? Otherwise, why would team leader be standing there without moving?"
Baek Eun-hee took out her phone.
I wanted to ask Zhang Zhenying, but in the end I didn't make the call. Anyway, I'll see Zhang Yuanying soon, so I can just ask her in person.
As she walked out of the building, Baek Eun-hee was still looking back.
However, Zhang Yuanying and Han Xijun, who were just standing on the left side of the access control passage, had "disappeared" from sight.
