Chapter 16 Do you want me to come with you?
After the hangover soup was microwaved for a while, a faint aroma wafted out. For those suffering from a hangover, the soup made with silverfish and bean sprouts not only warmed the stomach but also improved their overall well-being.
As Jung Do-hoon sipped his soup, he watched the torrential rain outside the window intensify and sighed helplessly.
The news reported that the roads from Jakarta to the airport were impassable due to deep flooding, and the airlines had also sent advance notice of flight delays.
I definitely won't be able to go back to Seoul today.
He rinsed the insulated container with clean water before sending a message to Nmixx's agent.
Because I have important work to do, I need to trouble them to come and pick up the insulated box.
Nmixx's agent also replied very quickly.
【Secretary-nim, because our flight was also delayed, I'm currently coordinating the fan signing event schedule. I'll have Xueyun contact you.】
Not long after, a red dot appeared on the Kakao interface for a friend request, but by then Jung Do-hoon had already logged into the Onnara system and started working—
Indonesia is one hour behind South Korea, so it's 7:30 now, which is already the start time for South Korean civil servants to go to work.
Jeong Do-hoon still has far too much work to do; something as trivial as insulated boxes is nowhere near as important as the application for the Busan 2030 World Expo.
As a reborn individual, Jung Do-hoon naturally knew what kind of disastrous defeat South Korea would suffer in its bid to participate in the World Expo six months later—
However, when he saw the proposal for the promotional video "One Choice" prepared by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Jung Do-hoon still gasped.
It's time to come.
What kind of scoundrels in the Arts and Sports Department would come up with the idea of using PSY's "Gangnam Style" as the background music for a promotional video?
Why was Yoo Jimin chosen as a publicity ambassador? And why was a video speech by Yoo Jimin planned before the president's address? And what about the background music, "Next Level"?
This plan would absolutely not pass Zheng Daoxun's approval. As a secretary in the Cultural Exchange Section of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a reincarnated individual, he knew how to learn from Riyadh's successful experience:
The promotional video should showcase South Korea's industrial heritage and infrastructure capabilities. As for traditional culture, one or two uncontroversial elements should be carefully selected and incorporated into the video to avoid causing diplomatic disputes.
However, after writing a long message in the approval section, Zheng Daoxun ultimately did not click "reject," but simply saved the approval as a pending task.
He is currently just a secretary, and it is not appropriate for him to directly reject the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's plan. The specific decision on how to bid for the 2030 World Expo will have to wait until he returns to Seoul and communicates with his superiors before a decision is made.
However, while writing the approval document, he gradually understood why Kim Minjung had been so attentive to him last night—
Being an ambassador for the World Expo is a very high level of recognition for any K-pop artist, and for their fans, it's also a topic of conversation that can be used to put down other artists.
And Zheng Daoxun will have many more resources like these in the future.
Having temporarily pulled himself away from his work, Jung Do-hoon sighed, only then realizing that he had been working for more than two hours straight. When he picked up his phone again, he discovered that Seol-yoon had sent him five friend requests, each one more serious than the last.
She was just picking up a thermal container; there was no need for her to be nervous.
-----------------
It's just going to get a thermal container; there's really no need to be so nervous.
Xueyun tried to convince herself of this, but when she actually took the elevator to the floor where Zheng Daoxun was, her heart was still pounding.
She understood, of course, that her agent was trying to do her a favor by establishing a connection with a secretary in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which was a good thing from any perspective.
only……
She's really not good at doing anything other than being an artist, such as interpersonal relationships.
Even before leaving home, the girl hesitated for more than half an hour in front of the dressing mirror just about what to wear to see Jung Do-hoon, which made Kim Ji-woo, who was in the same room, start to get anxious for her.
But after much deliberation, I finally opted for the simplest black and white combination of a short-sleeved shirt and sweatpants, which really gives one the feeling of powerlessness of having studied with all my might and only getting a 60 on the test.
It's just a matter of saying hello and taking the insulated box; it's no big deal!
There is even a strong possibility that Jung Do-hoon didn't care at all what she was wearing.
"Oh? What are you doing here?" A cool, slightly lazy voice came from behind.
Xueyun immediately tensed up, and the hand she had finally managed to lift to press the doorbell fell back down.
The girl turned her head to look at the sound, and then secretly let out a long breath.
Great, I actually ran into Mina-senpai here.
"Mina-senpai," the girl bowed slightly, took a few steps toward Mina—that is, away from Jung Do-hoon's room—before explaining in a low voice, "I'm here to pick up the insulated container for my manager. Um, the one that holds the hangover soup."
Mina rubbed her hair and gave a soft "oh".
How boring. She thought there would be some hidden plot, but it turns out he just came to curry favor with Jung Do-hoon.
"Then you go ahead and get busy, I'm going to have breakfast..." she said as she turned to walk towards the elevator, then stopped, a sly glint in her eyes.
Last night, she, Kim Da-hyun, and Minatozaki Sana talked about Jung Do-hoon for a long time in the room, which made her a little curious about this man.
In Mina's memory, Jung Do-hoon was just a young man with a strong sense of boundaries and a bit of a cunning personality, even a year younger than her.
But he appears completely different to different people.
In front of Kim Da-hyun, he was a reliable, highly professional, and promising young clerk.
In Xueyun's eyes, he seemed to be a powerful figure who was unapproachable and aloof.
As for what Sana Minatozaki thinks of him...
Mina couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she had a vague feeling that the relationship between Minatozaki Sana and Jung Do-hoon went beyond just a few meetings.
So, what kind of person is he exactly?
"Do you want me to come with you?" Mina walked over in her slippers. She had just gotten up and was still wearing her pajamas. The only part of her body that had been groomed was her medium-length hair, which she had combed with a wooden comb.
This is a good opportunity for Mina to talk to Jung Do-hoon about the ins and outs of his appearance in Indonesia.
Is it just for work, or is it for someone else and work is just a side job?
Xueyun felt a warmth in her heart, and felt that the composure and relaxation of the senior in front of her were truly admirable, especially when Mina casually pressed the doorbell, this feeling reached its peak.
There was a response from inside the room, and about ten seconds later, Jung Do-hoon, dressed in a suit and tie, opened the door.
He knew that Xueyun was a rather shy person, so Zheng Daoxun originally planned to return the insulated box to her, politely say thank you, and then close the door under the pretext of having work to do, ending the conversation.
But when he opened the door, he saw Mina, who was still sleepy but had a glint in her eyes.
Then came Xueyun, who stood respectfully half a body length behind her.
"Sorry to bother you, scribe!"
Good morning, Dohoon-ssi~
