Chapter 82 is probably because of Wu Haiyuan.
There are three things Zhang Yuanying can't understand.
She was the one who invited Han Xijun to meet at Xinxingyuan, so she should have paid for the dinner herself. However, Han Xijun insisted on paying for the meal in the end.
They left the restaurant together. Han Xijun had driven there, but he stood by the car door and asked Zhang Yuanying where they were going next. After confirming the address, Han Xijun drove off alone, showing no intention of giving her a ride.
And why did Han Hee-joon agree to help him "secure" the endorsement?
The taxi followed Han Xijun's SUV the whole way.
Chung-ro, Naksan Park.
Zhang Yuanying got out of the car at the park entrance, pulled her hat brim down, adjusted her mask, and walked towards the parking lot.
Han Xijun was already standing by the car waiting for her.
As Zhang Yuanying walked over, she asked Han Xijun, "Team Leader Han, are you really going to help me?"
Looking at the illuminated city wall ruins in Naksan Park, Han Hee-joon asked Jang Won-young, "Did you come here to take pictures?"
Zhang Yuanying nodded and said, "Yes, Chairman Zheng will definitely not believe me just because I said I was in contact with Team Leader Han. I need to at least prove that I am dating Team Leader Han, so it would be more convincing to send Chairman Zheng some photos of us on our dates."
Han Xijun opened the car door and said, "I will make Chairman Zheng believe me."
"What's wrong with Team Leader Han...?"
Before she could finish asking, seeing that Han Xijun seemed about to leave, Zhang Yuanying stepped forward and stood by the driver's side door, saying, "Team Leader Han, are you willing to help me because of Wu Haiyuan Xi?"
Han Xijun, who was about to get into the car, stopped.
He would not go into Naksan Park with Jang Won-young to take "date" photos.
During the phone call, Han Xijun told Wu Haiyuan that he was not going on a blind date.
He doesn't lie, so he won't do anything that involves lying.
Han Xijun was willing to help Zhang Yuanying because after learning about some of Zhang Yuanying's affairs, he felt that Zhang Yuanying was not the kind of person who would do anything to satisfy her ambitions.
Despite her young age, Zhang Yuanying has experienced more than many others. Just as Zhao Minyu said, Zhang Yuanying has transformed from an innocent, lively, and romantic girl into a perfect commodity.
Her ambition is not to become the most famous product in the world.
Han Hee-joon guessed that Jang Won-young wanted to become the lead actress among the five actresses. Her true goal was to get rid of the commodity label, to have a voice, to be able to decide her own future, and to live as Jang Won-young again.
What made Han Xijun waver was Zhao Minyu's statement that Zhang Yuanying could not go back to being the original Zhang Yuanying, and that she could not win the battle for authorship within the assembly line.
Seeing Zhang Yuanying again at Xinxing Institute tonight, even her smile was different from others; it felt like she was performing a routine task.
That's why Han Xijun finally made up his mind to help Zhang Yuanying.
However, the method was not what Zhang Yuanying had in mind.
Faced with Zhang Yuanying's seemingly unrelated question, Han Xijun slowly replied, "What does it have to do with her?"
Zhang Yuanying said, "If it weren't for Wu Haiyuan Xi, I really wouldn't understand why Team Leader Han would help me."
Han Xijun retorted, "Why is it because of her?"
Zhang Yuanying thought for a moment and asked, "Does Wu Haiyuan also know about my affairs?"
"have no idea"
"So Team Leader Han thinks that it would be beneficial for Wu Haiyuan Xi if I became the first of the five women."
Han Xijun continued, "What are the benefits?"
Zhang Yuanying couldn't explain it.
But I always felt it should be like this.
If Han Xijun's help wouldn't benefit him or those around him, he wouldn't help himself.
He doesn't have the time to do such pointless things.
If he were willing to help, he would have agreed to help me during our first meal together.
However, becoming the top of the five female leads would not bring any benefits to Han Xijun. The entertainment industry and the AI industry are completely unrelated. Even if she were the top of the five female leads, Han Xijun's social status would still be far beyond what an idol artist like herself could achieve.
Once all impossibilities are eliminated, the remaining reasons, no matter how outrageous or unrelated, are the truth behind the matter.
Zhang Yuanying frowned deeply beneath the brim of his hat.
That's all she could think of, even though she couldn't guess what benefit it would bring to Wu Haiyuan if she became the first of the five women.
Han Xijun hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Zhang Yuanying was smarter than he had imagined.
No wonder Zhang Yuanying, who entered the entertainment industry at the age of 14 and experienced major changes, did not choose to compromise and accept her fate. Instead, she set the highest goal and wanted to redefine her future life from the highest position.
Such a person is not just a blank slate with ambition that can be easily exploited.
As for the benefits...
Zhang Yuanying's ability to transform herself from a perfect commodity in the industry chain back into her true self, once successful, is tantamount to paving a path for those who follow to defy fate and change their destiny.
Han Xijun was unsure whether Wu Haiyuan would be chosen by the industry chain like Zhang Yuanying and become the next perfect commodity needed by the entertainment industry.
But Han Hee-joon believes that Oh Hae-won will definitely succeed in his career in the entertainment industry.
He didn't want to see Wu Haiyuan repeat Zhang Yuanying's mistakes.
I don't want Wu Haiyuan to go from someone who can make people around him laugh, someone who can make people around him feel magical, someone who can make people around him feel that life is interesting, to a 'stranger' whose eyes, expressions, smiles, and gestures have all become muscle memory.
Wu Haiyuan would never easily give up his dreams and career, leave the entertainment industry, and live his life in the simplest way.
and so……
Zhang Yuanying slowly raised her head and looked at Han Xijun standing in front of her, saying, "I'm sorry, Team Leader Han, I shouldn't have asked those useless questions. As long as Team Leader Han helps me, the process doesn't matter at all."
"I know Team Leader Han doesn't want any real involvement with me, and I know what I should do next. Thank you, Team Leader Han."
He bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle to express his gratitude.
Han Xijun simply said, "I wish you success."
Bang
Gently close the car door.
Zhang Yuanying also moved a step to the side.
Start the car.
As Han Xijun turned the steering wheel, he saw Zhang Yuanying bowing ninety degrees again in the rearview mirror.
With a tap of the accelerator, Han Xijun sped out of the parking lot of Luoshan Park.
I turned on the car radio.
It doesn't matter what program he listens to; Han Xijun just wants to change his mood.
I always feel a sense of oppression when I'm alone with Zhang Yuanying.
It was released from Zhang Yuanying.
She had a lot on her mind, and the pressure she chose to resist was something most people couldn't understand.
She might be good at hiding it from others, but Han Xijun didn't like Zhang Yuanying giving up on hiding it from him; she should only do that in front of her family.
We tend to compare ourselves to others without even realizing it.
When I'm alone with Wu Haiyuan, I always get amused by his body language, gestures, and exaggerated facial expressions.
Even during video calls, seeing Wu Haiyuan's clumsy appearance would instantly make one forget about work troubles.
The image of the video call unconsciously floated into my mind.
He muttered to himself, "This 500 yuan, they're supposed to introduce themselves to the members but they won't let them video call to say hello, hahaha."
