Chapter 214 209. Warmth

At dusk, the setting sun slants down.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Gu Heng looked down at the city made of reinforced concrete.

After pressing the connect button on the phone, Pei Zonghan's voice came clearly.

"Brother Zong Han."

"Well, Gu Heng, it's me," after a brief greeting, Pei Zonghan went straight to the point, "I asked someone to ask about what you said."

"Well, how's it going?"

"After all, it's not a company. I can't fully understand this kind of thing, but that's pretty much it."

Gu Heng was silent for a moment, "In other words, there is no other way?"

Although someone told him not to worry about himself when he mentioned this matter a few days ago, how could he let it go completely?

But now it seems that many things are dead ends.

"Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. You understand this truth better than me," Pei Zonghan sighed, "This circle is no exception, or in other words, this industry itself is composed of layers and layers.

There is a first-level interest relationship. As for friendship, it is a rare thing. And from another perspective, it is very rare that they have not had this problem until today."

Idol groups are always changing, and only a few can survive for more than five years.

As for the change of members, it is even more common.

From an outsider's perspective, this is not surprising.

But for those who are involved, it is not that simple.

He knows very well the importance of the name Girls' Generation in Lin Yoona's heart.

Those unnies in the group are definitely more than just colleagues to her

"I understand, please trouble you, Brother Zong Han."

"With a little effort, let's have dinner together when we have time."

"must."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Heng clicked on a photo in the photo album on his phone and looked at it for a long time.

Although the photo left by Song Zhenxiu is still in Lin Yuner's hands, Lin Yuner sent an electronic version to him a few days ago.

Ah beep!

A new message popped up on the phone.

【yoona】: My afternoon class is over

【yoona】: Waiting for you downstairs for a while?

The corners of his mouth curved, Gu Heng glanced at the time and clicked on the chat window.

Knock knock.

Just as he was about to reply, there was a gentle knock on the ajar door of the office.

"Enter."

"Boss." After hearing Gu Heng's voice, Li Ran pushed the door open and entered.

"What's wrong?"

"Vice President Lin is here and wants to see you."

"Lin Zhixun?" A trace of doubt flashed in Gu Heng's eyes.

Lin Zhixun came to visit at this time, which surprised him a little.

"Yes," Li Ran nodded slightly, "I came alone."

"Let him in alone."

Li Ran responded and left.

After lowering his head and sending a message to Lin Yuner, Gu Heng stood up and sat down at the coffee table in the office.

After a long while, before the water boiled, Lin Zhixun had already opened the door.

Look at each other and smile.

"Come and ask for a cup of tea." Lin Zhixun raised his eyebrows.

Gu Heng pointed to the sofa next to him and asked casually, "Aren't you busy? Why do you still have time to come over?"

Kakao has been making a lot of moves recently, and it stands to reason that Lin Zhixun should be unable to get out of his way.

Shaking his head, Lin Zhixun came and sat down next to him.

After looking at Lin Zhixun for a few seconds, Gu Heng didn't rush to ask.

The hot water in the pot slowly boiled and gurgled.

Get tea and brew it.

Taking a cup of tea from Gu Heng, Lin Zhixun took a sip and squinted his eyes, "Your tea is better."

Gu Heng laughed, and then asked, "What happened?"

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal," Lin Zhixun put down the tea cup and said slowly, "It's just a three-month rest."

"Three months of rest?" Gu Heng's face straightened, "What do you mean? Please be clear."

In addition to work ability, changes in senior positions in a company often have more other considerations.

That's it for other people, but Lin Zhixun is different.

When Gu Heng came to Seoul two years ago, he was the head of Kakao Corp's internal investment and mergers and acquisitions business. Now it is a critical moment for Kakao to seek mergers and listings.

Lin Zhixun waved his hand, "I took the initiative to ask for the break. The president just asked me if I would like to be responsible for the Southeast Asian market for a while. You know, that is also the company's focus now. As for the merger with Daum, although I am temporarily

I don’t care, but there will be suitable people to take over, so don’t worry.”

Gu Heng's eyes were slightly lowered, and the expression on his face improved slightly, "Let's drink tea."

The two of them skipped the topic in tacit agreement.

After several cups of tea, Lin Zhixun stood up and said with a smile, "It's getting late, so I should say goodbye. I have to go to the supermarket. I promised to cook for my wife and son tonight, so I can't be late."

"I send you."

"No, no, you should clean up and get off work immediately."

Holding Gu Heng's shoulders, Lin Zhixun left the office alone without letting him get up.

After a while, Li Ran pushed open the office door.

"Boss, I'm sending Mr. Lin out."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Gu Heng came back to his senses after staring at the white mist on the tea cup.

"Does Mr. Lin have any work matters when you come here today?" Li Ran asked curiously as he helped him put away the tea sets.

Narrowing his eyes, Gu Heng did not answer, but asked, "What do you think is Lin Zhixun's biggest problem for President Jin?"

Li Ran was stunned and said hesitantly, "Mr. Lin has a very good working ability, and his communication with us has always been smooth. As for the rest."

He was a little unable to answer.

Gently rubbing his thumb on the pad of his index finger, Gu Heng whispered, "Yes, his problem lies with us."

Lin Zhixun is standing too close to Jingsheng...

In some matters, Jin Beomxiu's trust in him is no longer as strong as before.

Lin Zhixun suddenly came to Jingsheng, and he probably had some guesses.

But, what exactly is he going to do?

Gu Heng's eyebrows tightened.

"What?"

Gu Heng shook his head and stood up, "Let's get off work first. I will send you a message to inform you of other things that need to be done."

"okay."

Traffic in Seoul is always crowded in the evening, and today there was a little delay due to Lin Zhixun's sudden visit.

By the time Gu Heng drove out of the company, the street was already blocked by traffic, making it difficult to move.

It took him half an hour to reach the downstairs of the unit where he lived.

Gu Heng hurriedly got off the car and walked into the unit building. Before he could reach the elevator, he saw Miss Lin Yuner sitting in the corner of the first floor, holding her chin in a daze.

Their eyes met, Lin Yun'er raised her eyebrows slightly, "I'm late."

Gu Heng lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "It was my fault."

Although he sent a message to Lin Yoona to apologize when he learned about Lin Zhixun's visit, it still took too long.
