Chapter 45 The Abnormal Han Xijun
Wu Haiyuan was shocked by his mother's words.
Judging from what Sister Lian just said, I can guess without even looking that it was Auntie talking about her relationship with Han Xijun in the family chat room.
People actually believe that?
Wu Haiyuan immediately explained, "No, Mom, don't misunderstand, I'm not in a relationship."
As expected, Mom followed up with, "Then who's that boy laughing and eating with you in the photo your aunt posted?"
photo?
What photo?
Wu Haiyuan quickly switched to Kakao, entered the family chat room, and browsed online. His aunt posted six photos, all of which were pictures of her and Han Xijun eating and chatting.
The angle shows the restaurant kitchen.
My aunt actually hid in the kitchen and secretly took pictures.
"Wow, was Auntie a reporter before?"
The mother didn't understand and pressed for details: "What exactly happened?"
Wu Haiyuan clicked on the photo.
She genuinely didn't know why she was laughing so happily.
The photo shows Han Hee-joon smiling happily from the side.
What did you talk about at the time?
Wu Haiyuan couldn't remember it at all.
Even in photos taken with a regular mobile phone, Han Hee-joon looks so handsome.
Instantly roused, Wu Haiyuan shook his head vigorously.
Mom kept asking.
Wu Haiyuan quickly said, "I was just thanking him for his help, so I treated him to dinner. We're not dating."
The mother said with some skepticism, "Your aunt said this boy is also from Incheon, two years older than you, and that he's already working at a company?"
"Yes, I work for a large company."
"I feel like I've seen the boy in the photo somewhere before."
"Mom, I'm at the company. I won't talk to you now unless there's something else."
Still unwilling to give up, Mom asked, "Are you really not dating?"
Wu Haiyuan answered with absolute certainty, "No, absolutely not. Company rules prohibit dating, Mom, don't overthink it."
the other side.
Tehran Road, Kakao Group Company.
Ding
The elevator doors opened on the 15th floor.
"Team Leader"
As they walked through the office, the employees who greeted Han Xijun would all try to keep glancing at him a couple more times.
Han Xijun went straight into his personal office.
outside.
Large office.
The employees sat at their desks and all seemed to be working very seriously.
The group chat room has actually exploded.
The keyboard clicked away incessantly.
Each employee stared at the computer screen and rapidly typed on the keyboard.
The speed at which the messages scroll is comparable to the scrolling speed of comments on celebrity Zhou Bo's posts.
The discussion revolved around why Han Xijun was wearing such an old-fashioned plaid shirt to the company today.
This is a big problem.
The last time Han Hee-joon wore a plaid shirt was last year when he had just joined the KAKAO Group.
If it weren't for Han Xijun's good looks, he could wear anything and look good. If he were to appear on the streets of Tehran in that outfit, I wonder how many people would gossip about him behind his back.
Later, perhaps after the chairman spoke with Han Xijun, the plaid shirt hadn't been seen at the company for over a year.
Some staff members speculated that Han Hee-joon might be having some kind of emotional problem.
Some staff members speculated that Han Hee-joon might want to return to his original aspirations and prepare to do things he didn't do more than a year ago.
This is highly likely.
Han Hee-joon entered the company with his KAIST genius status and immediately proposed a project to create an AI-assisted living community business.
At that time, people's understanding of AI was still limited to Google's AlphaGo.
When the topic of AI comes up, the only thing that comes to mind is AlphaGo's defeat of Go world champion Lee Sedol, creating history as the first time that artificial intelligence has defeated a human professional Go player.
Since the birth of Stable Diffusion this year, a large number of AIGC companies have emerged.
The AI business has also entered a phase of intense competition.
Tech companies are starting to assemble teams to develop various types of AI products, which is somewhat similar to the life assistance community that Han Xijun proposed back then.
The problem is that the R&D center is currently fully preparing to cooperate with SK Group's memory chip business, isn't it?
To be precise, it means proactively positioning ourselves to provide optimized storage solutions for mainstream AI storage chips, while also collaborating with the SK Group to develop memory modules needed for next-generation AI servers.
To put it more simply, Han Hee-jun's AI R&D center collaborated with SK Group to develop a new generation of core products that can fundamentally solve the memory bottleneck problem encountered by large language models during training and inference.
At this crucial moment, Han Xijun is wearing a plaid shirt again. Could it be that he's going through a "rebellious phase" and is focusing on the AI-powered community product he proposed for improving daily life?
The employees working on the AI products proposed by Han Xijun were the most skeptical.
AI-powered travel assistance apps and AI-powered songwriting apps are both auxiliary products, aren't they?
The same cheering emoji is scrolling through the chat group.
One of the employees stood up from his workstation, nodded emphatically to his colleagues while holding his laptop, and then walked toward Han Xijun's personal office.
It's like conducting reconnaissance and probing before setting up a camp.
Dong dong dong
When he knocked on the office door, the other employees were secretly watching. They saw their colleague enter Han Xijun's personal office and start discussing things in the chat room.
in the office.
Han Xijun, who was sitting in front of the computer, had just turned it on.
Today I plan to do the second round of bug testing, then add an AI model to the underlying code, and then conduct a new round of complete bug testing on the front end, back end, and AI model.
Upon seeing the employee enter, Han Xijun asked first, "Have the results of your app testing come out?"
The employee paused for a moment, then walked to the desk, put down his laptop, and said, "Team leader, what would be a suitable name for the app?"
"name?"
"Yes, the name."
Han Xijun remained silent.
He's really not good at coming up with names; those things should be handled by the marketing and PR teams.
Unfortunately, the app Han Xijun, which his colleague made, was never intended to be released to the app store in the first place. It was meant for Wu Haiyuan to use. If it was really good, or rather, really useful for idol singers, then it wouldn't be too late to release it to the market later.
The app that helps with songwriting, for Wu Haiyuan. As for the app's name...
Han Xijun suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Padak (sea)."
My colleague gave a puzzled "Yes."
"Let's use 'Padda' as the name."
My colleague nodded in agreement: "The name 'Padda' is very fitting; it's like an ocean of music. No wonder he's the team leader."
"Let's get down to business."
"Just asking the team leader if there's any other app development work to be assigned."
Han Hee-joon said, "After you finish testing the app you have, start preparing for the collaboration project with SK."
"OK"
"Anything else?"
A colleague cautiously asked Han Xijun, noticing his clothes, "Why is the team leader wearing a shirt today?"
Han Xijun glanced at the shirt and asked, "Is there a problem?"
The colleague waved his hand repeatedly and said, "No problem, it's just that I haven't seen the team leader dressed like this in a long time. I thought the team leader wanted to rediscover his original intention and start the life assistance community APP business."
Han Xijun shook his head and said, "We'll talk about that later."
"Okay, I'll head out now."
"etc"
His colleague stopped and looked at Han Xijun with a puzzled expression.
Han Xijun asked, "Do you know any jokes that hide a knife behind a smile?"
My colleague looked completely bewildered.
Han Xijun asked, "Don't you usually tell jokes to your friends?"
My colleague doesn't know how to react.
You, Han Xijun, are the only person in the R&D center who doesn't socialize.
Suddenly I asked myself, what am I trying to show off?
Is he showing off that he's socializing? That he's having meals and entertainment with friends? That people are telling him jokes?
Coming to my senses, my colleague asked, "Does the team leader know?"
Han Xijun cleared his throat and burst into laughter without warning, then added "knife," followed by another round of laughter.
My colleague was completely dumbfounded.
Han Xijun said expressionlessly and in a low voice, "Go and get back to work."
I walked out of the office and gently closed the door.
The colleague standing at the office door shook his head at the large office, then quickly returned to his workstation and sent a message in the chat room: "The team leader is acting strange. He just told me a joke. He's gone crazy."
