Chapter 13 13. It’s been a long separation (Thank you to the book friend It’s Really Hard to Change Your Name for your 20,000 reward!)

Kakao company, somewhere in the lounge.

"Sunny, what are you doing?" Kwon Yuli leaned next to Sunny, holding a mug in both hands and taking a sip of water.

The commercial shooting that several SNSD members participated in today is actually more like a corporate image promotional video for Kakao, so part of the shooting location was set at Kakao's actual office space.

However, because today is a normal working day, and the company employees are all working normally, the shooting here needs to be re-coordinated every time the background is changed, and it is intermittent.

After a morning of shooting, there are still two unfinished scenes of Kim Taeyeon and Seohyun, and several other people are in the lounge.

Hearing Quan Youli's voice, Sunny raised the software interface on her phone to her rather shyly, "Guess, hehe."

Quan Youli looked at the note on her chat window and twitched her eyes, "Handsome guy number one. I didn't know, but I thought you had a backup for the basketball team behind you."

Sunny's eyes widened, as if she had been provoked, "Why can't I have it?!"

"But Sunny," Xu Xian said silently, "This is immoral."

Sunny choked.

But before she could explain, a voice came from behind her.

"He sent you a message."

Quan Yuli was startled by the voice, "Lin Yuner, why are you so mysterious?"

"She's been like this since last night." Sunny casually explained to Kwon Yuri while replying to the greeting message sent by [Handsome Guy No. 1].

Just after typing half a line of words, Sunny suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Lin Yuner suspiciously, "You really didn't come to me to ask for his contact information?"

"Of course not," Lin Yoona retracted her gaze without any trace, and said as if nothing had happened, "Do you guys have any drinks you want to drink? I just saw that there seems to be a drink vending machine outside."

"mango juice!"

“Banana milk!”

After a while, Lin Yoona walked out of the lounge with a pained look on her face and headed towards the nearby drink vending machine.

"Banana milk."

"mango juice"

“oolong tea”

Standing in front of the drink machine, Lin Yoona was thinking about the drinks her teammates wanted while operating the drink vending machine, feeling depressed.

Thinking that all this was because of a certain name, she gritted her teeth and stopped moving.

"Is this the first time Assistant Gu has used our software?"

Hearing the voice coming from his side, Gu Heng raised his head and looked at the person in surprise.

It's Lin Zhixun.

The visit to Kakao Company had just ended, and Liu Chen and others were taking a short break in the arranged conference room.

Gu Heng, on the other hand, came out alone to take a breath.

Unexpectedly, this man named Lin Zhixun would take the initiative to come to him and talk to him.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not surprising.

"Yes, when you come to South Korea, you have to experience it." Gu Heng smiled.

"Assistant Gu, if you have any comments, you can tell us at any time," Lin Zhixun took the initiative to extend his hand to Gu Heng, with a friendly and gentle tone.

During the visit just now, the exchange between Liu Chen and the young man in front of him had already fallen into his eyes.

Liu Chen's attitude towards this young man named Gu Heng was completely different from his attitude towards his subordinates.

"Minister Lin thinks highly of me." Gu Heng smiled and held his hand, "I just saw the news. Just today, the number of Kakaotalk users has exceeded 40 million. Congratulations to Minister Lin."

"Hahaha, Assistant Gu was so complimentary!" Lin Zhixun laughed a few times, and then said casually, "It's a pity that Mr. Liu Chen was still not satisfied."

Gu Heng raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Minister Lin, why did you say this?"

Lin Zhixun smiled helplessly, "Assistant Gu, why do you have to pretend to be stupid with me?"

Gu Heng glanced at him and said in a calm tone, "You're the one who keeps pretending to be stupid, aren't you, Minister Lin? Not to mention Mr. Jin Fanxiu's missed appointment today, is the situation at Kakao really as optimistic as Minister Lin said?"

Lin Zhixun's face suddenly stiffened, and his smile was a little forced.

Gu Heng looked directly at this man who had been so versatile just now, his tone was steady and strong,

"First of all, although line, a similar type of software, started a little late, it is growing very fast, especially in overseas markets, and has shown potential that exceeds Kakao. How can we break the situation?"

"Secondly, a behemoth like SK Telecom seems to be very dissatisfied with the free communication market opened up by Kakaotalk. How to compromise the game?"

"Finally, behind Kakao's rapid expansion of users are huge losses for more than a year. I don't seem to see any key support points for turning losses into profits from the financial data. How to solve it?"

"In this case, your company not only wants Jingsheng to lend a helping hand, but also wants Jingsheng not to interfere in any of your company's operations. In all fairness, is this appropriate?"

Lin Zhixun was silent for a moment.

Gu Heng did not press him and withdrew his gaze, "These are just my personal thoughts."

For the company Kakao, burning money is not a problem. Promoting and occupying the market must pay corresponding costs.

The real problem is that the money it burns cannot be the key to breaking the situation. This is the most realistic and fatal problem facing Kakao.

Lin Zhixun looked at Gu Heng and said in a more serious tone, "Assistant Gu, I hope you can make Mr. Liu more patient. Mr. Jin Fanxiu will give you a satisfactory answer."

Gu Heng didn't comment, just said, "We'll see."

"I'm going to arrange the reception for lunch, so I'll excuse you."

Lin Zhixun left with his heart full of worries.

Gu Heng also put away his thoughts and headed towards a drink vending machine not far away.

After talking non-stop all morning, his throat became dry and hoarse.

Fortunately, there was no long queue in front of the drink vending machine. There was only a tall girl with long hair shawl in front of her.

but

After waiting for two minutes, Gu Heng, who was looking at his phone while waiting, looked at the person in front of him in confusion.

Isn’t it just to buy a bottle of drink? Why bother for so long?

Or did you forget to bring change?

Enduring the discomfort caused by his dry throat, Gu Heng asked,

"Hello, may I help you with anything?"

"Ah?" The girl standing in front of him seemed startled by his voice. She turned around in a panic and bowed to apologize to him, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Gu Heng was a little troubled and helpless.

What he dislikes most about South Korean culture is this almost pathological etiquette.

Even though he had lived in this place for many years, he still felt uncomfortable with it.

"I don't mean to blame you." Gu Heng stretched out his hand to help the girl in front of him.

After hearing this, the girl straightened up, but still looked very sorry, "Thank you, I'm really sorry."

As she spoke, she tucked her hair that had fallen and strayed behind her ears due to her bowing just now, revealing a fair and gentle face.

Their four eyes faced each other, and they were all startled.

Lin Yuner blinked her eyes.
