Se Jin.
Yes, CEO.
I know what you're trying to do.
But, you will fail at that.
I will make you stop.
Because I like you, CEO.
Your world... will become hell from now on.
Who am I?
What do I truly want?
She made me understand those things.
It may be damp in the basement. Watch your health.
Coming to high places makes me dizzy!
-=Episode 11=- Coming to high places makes me dizzy!
-=Episode 11= I'll hear the main point really quickly and go down.
Among the 3 of us, you, CEO Seo and I,
no deals should be made using anybody's weaknesses.
Bring me the documents on the kickbacks.
Why not return to the Special Planning team?
If it's a subsidiary firm you want, ask and I'll give the position.
I'm about to drool,
but I will just swallow it.
No need to worry about Hyungnim's sick bail either.
No matter what tricks CEO Seo plays,
I will prevent Hyungnim returning to detention.
The rumor has already spread in the Group,
on whether somebody is controlling you from behind.
The New city project.
Seo Yi Kyung's trusted aide is appointed as the external advisor, I'm told.
At this rate, you'll have her in the chairman office?
It was my proposal.
It's a pain to discuss every item, so I asked her to send somebody.
You have to report to her on every item, you mean?
Then you can't guarantee Father's sick bail either.
Gun Woo.
Getting the Chairman office isn't what makes a Chairman.
Printing it on the business card also doesn't make a Chairman.
The final decision-maker.
If you can't make the final decision, Uncle...
you'll be just an avatar of Seo Yi Kyung.
The basement mold must be waiting for you.
Better get down there.
How come I don't see Section Chief Gang today?
-=Mujin Group=- -=Management Agreement to Overcome the IMF Crisis=-
TJ Cultural Foundation's Chief Directorship candidates are these.
A former United Nations ambassador.
A writer.
A corrupt member of the 16th National Assembly.
So there are 3 people.
Any of them will easily follow our lead.
Mr. Jang, you select, please.
Baeksong University Chancellor Heo...
What has he been doing lately?
After stepping down last year from Chancellorship,
he's taking some time out to write articles, I hear.
He would appear to be upright.
He'll nicely go along with what I want too.
As Chief Director, let us choose him.
I will do a review on him.
I'm not asking to do a review.
Mr. Jang.
Personnel is all that counts, right?
When it comes to judging people,
I am a tad bit better than you, I'd say.
So let's take it as a done thing.
Did you reach a decision?
Chancellor Heo Ki Sun has been chosen.
It would be good to meet him and give a heads-up.
He would take it as I obeyed him.
Chancellor Heo will also think I recommended him.
Since the Head Director here is also secured,
running the Foundation should be a breeze.
Let's go to Yeoksam-dong.
Are you all right?
In today's schedule itself we've finished 4 items already.
Maybe if you could return to the Gallery for some rest...
I am sorry.
There's a meeting tomorrow afternoon, on the design changes for the New City.
Agree, oppose, or abstain?
Try to sense the concerned officials' leaning.
We need to find out who might think of even revolting against Chairman Park.
I understand.
Seongbuk-dong will send over Baeksong Foundation's operational details for the past 10 years.
There will be some leaks in the numbers.
Okay, I'll track them down.
Tak, you can prepare the shipments as usual.
Tak.
No matter what, all is fine and dandy?
Se Jin had to just leave like that.
Like somebody who never even existed.
Nobody is concerned at all?
She left on her own, you know...
after betraying even the CEO.
Writer!
We'll end up having to meet again.
Since she said she'd make me stop,
she will show up someday.
I will make you stop.
Because I like you, CEO.
Back in high school, our class had a national top 3% student.
She was just like you, CEO.
Except at eating and sleeping times, always in study mode.
Later she reduced her sleep,
and was solving problems even during meals.
Guess what happened to her?
On the final exam day, she was in the hospital... for acute enteritis
I'm not wishing you ill or anything.
Just asking to watch your health while working.
This area will require an additional building permit.
Have you looked for that?
Within a week, the permit should be coming.
Okay. Once you get it, please report to me.
I understand.
Have you... found anything?
On the legal side, there's no issue.
So the shares can be transferred, is that right?
There's a clause prohibiting a 3rd party transfer,
but next of kin will be considered as an exception.
Have you discussed it with your father?
Not yet.
But be careful.
This will have a pretty high tax rate now.
How much?
Half of the equity shares.
However urgent, would he throw away half of it?
Just think how much it is in money terms!
Just to get joint control guaranteed,
they would give up that big an amount?
The gains don't make up for the losses!
Worrying if he'd do anything crazy, I had people watching him, but it's groundless fears.
In any case, it's not because of Gun Woo that I asked to meet.
I need to talk to you about something.
It's about your guy. Let's pull him out of there.
He'll be of help in the project.
To me, he is hardly of help.
And I'm only hearing murmurs here and there.
At the highest position, misunderstanding and criticism are things you'll just have to take.
The weight of the crown... is for you to bear, Chairman.
So I bear the weight, and you get the benefits, CEO Seo?
You, chairman, and Mr. Jang... and then me.
We will be splitting the spoils.
What occurs among those on the same side, mustn't be threats,
but rather discussions.
That came from your mouth, CEO Seo.
Let's not forget that.
Then we'll have to discuss the Park Gun Woo issue first.
-=Consent to Nullify the Management Agreement=-
When the heck did you prepare this?
Please get Mr. Park Moo Il's signature...
whether it takes sweet-talking or threatening.
I said there's no need to worry about Gun Woo!
You seem to not know him as well as me.
Even if half the shares are lost, he'll want joint control.
The Park Gun Woo we have now...
will even sell his soul,
if he can stop you, chairman... and especially me.
A copy of the agreement and other needed items.
This should be enough for filing it.
For capital transfer, get the Chairman's signature.
Thanks!
So this is the benefit of having a friend in the legal team, huh?
Did you think enough about this?
Even though you will get joint control,
you'll lose 50% the share equity.
I'll take it like giving alimony in a divorce battle.
I have caused discomfort to you in so many ways.
Please forgive me, Hyungnim.
Very soon, the New City project will be right on track.
It is your dream project.
You have to see it successfully finished, right?
So please, take care of your health.
The one worry you have, if I may say...
it is that kid, Gun Woo.
He's so experienced, and is old enough too,
so I'll have him take over a subsidiary firm.
Gun Woo will be made a president, you mean?
Of course. If it's something like Mujin Tech,
it would be suitable for Gun Woo to take over.
Well, before that...
Hey. Bring that document in here.
Yes, Section Chief.
I'm coming to the hospital now. Nobody visiting him, right?
-=Consent to Nullify the Management Agreement=-
Giving up the shares just to claim joint control
is just putting lipstick on a pig.
Having one strong subsidiary firm...
is 100 times better for that kid, Gun Woo.
If the document goes away nullified,
Gun Woo also won't be able to think up anything else.
Please put your signature, Hyungnim.
This is all just for Gun Woo's sake, hyung.
All you need to do is to sign there.
Father.
Good to see you.
What have you done?
What did you sign?
Don't try too hard.
The agreement has become nullified.
You uncle says he'll have you take over Mujin Tech.
Am I right?
Yes, of course.
I'll get the order out, so you get ready.
Uncle, I'm not eating the rotten meat you're dishing out.
If you ask that company's staff, won't they either?
It's necessary, but if you aren't willing, I can't do much.
Then, please take rest, Hyungnim.
Job well done, chairman!
Let's meet tomorrow at Seongbuk-dong.
Then...
Was it so dear to you?
The shares I'd give up as the condition to gain joint control.
That was so dear, so you signed off, right?
Gun Woo.
So far, to satisfy your desire, you made enough.
When I was fine losing that much, why would you care?
If it leaves your hand one time...
it will all keep going out in succession.
Gun Woo, your... feelings are rather natural.
But if you had lost all of that, what would you do?
I'd just have to restart with bare hands.
With bare hands?
Fine. I once had such a time too.
But Gun Woo. If I were to go back to that time, you see...
I wouldn't do it...
whatever you say.
When I got this place first for a photo shoot,
I got sick of it in no time.
There was some artists' painting, and some DJ practice.
It was used for different things, but has been empty for a while.
But all things said, it's pretty quiet, eh?
To study for the civil service exam, it's just right.
But... are you okay with such a place?
Of course.
But, I can't pay too much of rent.
Hey, between friends, what rent??
It's just fine.
Thank you, Ma Ri.
But... why did you quit from the Gallery?
That was a bang-up place, no?
There's nothing bang-up there.
It was just a misconception.
Anyway, fine. It's great!
Study hard for the test!
Good evening.
Come here, guy.
What's Se Jin up to, these days?
I don't know.
Don't know?
Never went looking either?
No, I haven't.
Just continue like you don't know.
And don't go doing any crazy thing.
Come on in, CEO Seo.
A bit late, aren't you?
Thanks to CEO Seo, the headaches get all solved.
Dodged a bullet.
What was the problem?
Chairman, it's nothing you should know.
An issue within our Group, after all.
Everyone please come inside.
What did you just say?
TJ Cultural Foundation's inauguration ceremony
will become the occasion to formally announce your re-entry into politics, Mr. Jang.
CEO Seo.
The time of Mr. Jang's formal announcement
should match with launching his autobiography and the publication functions.
But now...
It's too late for that.
At least now, by creating a media splash at the inauguration ceremony,
we need to make the contestants of the next election to come to you, Mr. Jang.
The process of finding the capable people you want will also take time.
For the job of filling the storeroom also...
right now... would be the right time, though.
Very soon, I'll be discussing with Chairman Park about a big chunk.
Oh... that...
What CEO Seo said is correct.
You don't need to worry, Mr. Jang.
Unlike in the Baeksong Foundation's case, this will be without errors and leaking funds.
On that Chairman Son is doing his very best.
Will I have it any other way?
Please do not worry.
Forward at full-throttle, isn't it?
Dizzying developments, I see.
Everything is being methodically executed.
Mr. Jang, you only need to move your feet at each step.
What's this about a 'big chunk'?
That I'll tell you separately.
Now that we're together, nothing can be separate. Am I an outsider here?
Knowing things that needn't be known, only makes the aftermath harder.
It seems you memorized my pass-code!
Whoa... How did you get this kind of a place?
I followed a friend to Gangnam here.
Want to have some coffee?
No need.
Sit down for a bit.
I was going to obtain joint management rights.
That got messed up.
So I'm still cooped up in the basement.
Well, what can I say?
The heck, so what?
There's nothing I know or own, but still I left it all to CEO, and this is all I am now.
You really don't want any coffee?
For now, I'm investigating the company-related business that was underway at Gallery S.
As this is info found from the internet, it is pretty limited.
Every pebble helps build the mountain.
You've done great in classifying the info.
Shall we begin in earnest?
CEO.
CEO?
If you're tired, please go back and rest a bit.
Call for the car, to go to Se Jin--
I will take some rest and come.
I'm clocking off...
People are sometimes so cold!
I'm talking about Se Jin.
Okay, she left like that, but a "how are you? I'm fine"...
She should do at least a phone call like that.
If you're dying to know, you make a call.
Se Jin is in your charge, no?
Like hell, I am...
Why should I be?
If you have time, try to find out.
There'd be some opposing voices in the company.
Please proceed quietly, and gradually.
You've held on tight for a while.
I thought you'd go against the order, and go look for Se Jin.
I have no such intention.
If you've got the order, is such intention even possible?
Someone is following us.
Check who, and lose them.
I got it.
They got found out, midway.
So they had to just to pull out, they say.
Bloody useless fellows.
Shall we send them again later?
Did they let out on any Chunha Finance connection?
Just so the Foundation could be set up,
she was ordering us around just recently.
Now she is hiding things from us, you said?
She won't share the spoils, is that it?
Nobody is without weaknesses.
With Seo Yi Kyung also,
it will definitely come out if we look for it.
How, though?
Contact Japan.
Send someone to investigate Seo Bong Soo.
Seo Yi Kyung's father?
This is all about to be done. Sit down.
Has the sale of Mujin Tech been decided?
Though there will be internal opposition in the firm,
it's the chairman's decision, so no issues.
That's terrific.
What's called company structure,
is the superior's order becoming one's life!
Then allow us to leave.
Wasn't that Mujin Tech's Choi Seul Ha just now?
All of a sudden, you're selling it, I hear?
Selling off a promising firm like Mujin Tech
is a big loss for the Group.
It's a firm that looks good only on the surface.
It's been in the red for several years now.
When R&D costs are big there,
we should take it as an investment.
If we take a long-term view--
Hey, Park Gun Woo. This is the chairman's office.
When it's the Group's decision,
will every employee rushing over here to gesticulate get an ear?
The top officials are done discussing it,
so don't waste energy!
That's why you tried to send me away.
It's with the plan to anyway sell off Mujin Tech,
that you told me about taking charge of it.
Not even one month with that chairman title, but you throw your weight around!
You should look at it as just a coincidence.
The sale of Mujin Tech.
Please reconsider it.
For the Group's sake, this isn't right.
You can go out.
I have a business meeting to go to.
From now onward, Mr. Jang, your image is that of a statesman.
You need to work to have an amiable and friendly image to be appealing in public.
First,
Use social media frequently.
The publicity team composes SNS items.
With brief well-composed messages, quick feedback.
To attract you voters, an honest image should be stressed.
Second.
Break away from the old image of a tough guy who amasses power.
Empathy with common people.
Please drop the veiled authoritative look.
So as not to miss out on smiling any time, anywhere,
be thoroughly ready with a smile.
Mr. Jang won't personally be in the election campaign!
Thirdly...
You should meet the political power-brokers separately,
but all time spent outside should be on the campaign trail.
Markets, factories, schools, hospitals...
If time doesn't permit,
please go to the best places possible.
I should personally... campaign for votes, you mean?
The era of politicking by just pouring in money, is gone.
When your image can win votes, that power can be
used to get nominated as president in the upcoming election.
That right there...
is the path towards victory.
Why sell such a big firm with development potential so suddenly?
I have no clue.
The buyer is a foreign company.
The CEO is a Michael Gang.
Is he of Korean origin?
Michael Gang?
Michael...
The Yale University MBA grad!
Age should be just over 30 years.
There's a Kim Hyun Su among his close classmates.
How do you know all this, Se Jin?
I had memorized it.
But, who is this Kim Hyun Su?
Jang Tae Joon...
It's his nephew.
Where did you hear this unadulterated bull crap?
The sale of Mujin Tech...
was on request by CEO Seo Yi Kyung.
Uncle, even as you're the Group chairman, you complied.
Punk. If our Group sells a firm, of what benefit is it to CEO Seo?
There is benefit, and I know the reason too.
Uncle, you get to put away intact the shares from the sale.
Seo Yi Kyung uses the help of Mr. Jang's nephew,
to swipe off the top from that company's profit to fill the vault at Seongbuk-dong.
What?
Mujin Tech's President Choi has come.
Ask him to wait! So annoying, coming all the time...
Mujin Tech's staff size is over 800 people.
Due to a sale without even a known reason,
they'd be worried of staff restructuring.
No matter how it happened,
Mujin Group's chairman is you, uncle. Not Seo Yi Kyung.
Please don't toe her line and make my family uneasy.
I'm asking a favor.
Gun Woo... When I was struggling to rise to be Chairman by hook or crook,
the sole person helping me was Seo Yi Kyung, and only her.
It's a battle-hardened camaraderie, so you think I'll sever it for just a word from you?
Getting used is still to come in that relationship.
I wish you a long time of being of use to Seo Yi Kyung.
Those opposing Chairman Park are mobilizing now.
On a check on the other side,
the public opinion is also not very good.
The Chairman is doing nonsense to fill his pockets, they say.
The way-blocking ability is remarkable in Park Gun Woo.
Ask Tak to come in.
Did the talks go well?
I said it's a clear case of malicious business.
We decided on a temporary halt with an executives' meeting, or anything that's possible to stop the sale.
This week, we'll have a kickoff meeting, and decide on a structural scheme.
But... Se Jin, how do you know Assemblywoman Gang In Suk?
I've met her once. Not as the down-in-dumps Lee Se Jin,
but as a career woman who studied abroad. That's the problem.
Anyway, she said that she'd look into the external acquisition.
The more I know you, the more amazed I am, Se Jin.
Thank you.
Let's not say such things anymore. It's a bit creepy, no?
This is the name-list of the presidents and officials attending the kickoff meeting.
Thank--
Se Jin!
You never called!
This is my friend who lent this place to us.
The granddaughter in Chunha Group? I've heard a lot about you.
Mujin Group's Park Gun Woo.
Why is a chaebol son taking the civil service exam?
How could you keep it from me like this?
Sorry. It's because it's difficult to explain.
I knew since the auction, when you squeezed out 5 million won with a mirror.
Hey. That was a long time ago!
I was really upset because that mirror broke.
If it's made by Japanese craftsmen, it must've been worth a few 100,000 won.
It wasn't that expensive.
Then, how much was it, exactly?
It's kinda difficult to tell you...
Really made by a Japanese craftsman, right?
Dongdaemun market...
Con-woman! Fraudster!
Just kill me. Kill me.
Then I'll do as you wish, okay?
Sorry. I was really desperate then.
Anything that could earn me money, I'd do it.
Just the opposite of me.
Anything that makes me spend money, I'd do it!
And what you're doing now? Will it earn you money?
Investigating your CEO Seo?
No.
Then what?
You should be out eating and drinking with your Chaebol son oppa!
Because I have to do this.
I owe a lot to the CEO, you see.
It's been a long time.
If you are here, it means that the CEO knows too.
Tak!
What are you doing now?
Instead you say what you're doing with Park Gun Woo.
You're enticing him?
Play a Cinderella game, and make the CEO eat shit?
Mind your words. Or you'll regret it.
I am already regretting.
When you stole that file,
I should've hit hard, to beat some sense into you.
But I was too soft-hearted so I couldn't.
Are you laughing?
I was thinking that it wouldn't hurt if you hit me hard once.
The writer and the director are both doing well, right?
CEO... too?
You are still really mad, huh?
Mad?
Just leave it. Leave it.
Tak.
What?
I'm not playing any Cinderella game.
He is also very worried about CEO.
I'm just the same too.
The CEO shouldn't commit an irreversible mistake. I'm only trying to prevent that.
Stop joking.
Is anybody a fool here?
Park Gun Woo wants to recapture what he lost. You are jealous because you can't be like CEO.
I admit it. It may well seem to be so.
My feelings are sincere, unlike that. And I can't pick each item and explain either, so...
however you take it, I'm fine.
I like you.
You knew it, but you... acted uninterested.
Liking you is my own business.
Being uninterested is your business.
But it doesn't matter.
Even though you left like that,
I never thought of blaming you.
It's the same now too.
Tak.
But if you obstruct the CEO and cause trouble,
I will definitely be on the CEO's side.
Just know that.
I know.
I think it is fortunate.
Truly.
Se Jin is working with Park Gun Woo?
Why?
Don't tell me... it's to obstruct what CEO is doing? Is that it?
You did a good job.
Look a bit deeper into it.
Tak!
I'm going directly to the meeting location.
What do I do?
As it's my aunt's birthday today, we're going for shopping and a meal...
Today's a little...
Even if you come, there's nothing for you to do.
You want to freeze to death wearing it? Wear something warm!
No way! The other kids will laugh if I wear it.
I'm hearing some happy sounds...
I'm sorry.
I said it because I'm envious.
I'll send you a message once it's done.
Don't worry. It'll go well.
Convey my best wishes on the birthday.
You don't give me a break, aunt!
What?
All done. Let's go.
Like there's some huge issue here, to want to pull a gun on me or something...
And then he starts digging into things. It's so funny, I thought I'd die...
What to do? If no one comes to the birthday party,
it will be a huge trauma to the kid.
It's rather comforting that an uninvited friend came though.
But we can't have a meal here.
The room is too big for just a meal for two.
Why didn't you call Se Jin also?
That girl is naive and might do things... but somebody like you shouldn't be doing this.
You can't be more wrong.
Se Jin is going to use her own ways to prove it,
that the path you're running on, leads only to the edge of a cliff.
She's a smart girl.
Had she only broken her own shell, her life could've changed.
Perhaps she's afraid that she'll become like you?
She said she wanted to be like me,
not so long ago.
That was when she didn't know your true colors.
Be good to Se Jin for me. It'll slowly get harder for her, now on.
Some responsibility for why she wavered, is on you.
Wasn't it you who told her to do that?
I'll take it as thanking me, and refuse it.
Had everyone gathered, it would've been a spectacular scene.
Too early to let your guard down.
Me, as well as Se Jin, will keep at it.
Gun Woo.
Having reached this point, shouldn't you figure out...
the reason why you absolutely cannot win in this fight?
You, but for being the Chairman's son, and having the name plate of Mujin Group, would hardly be anything.
You wanted to get management rights using that agreement, but failed at it.
You met your father's subordinates, to appeal for their sympathy.
If it's not about using your father's background, but about doing it on your own, you can show nothing.
Seo Yi Kyung.
I am different from you.
I walked this far with my own legs, and I started with my own earnings.
Right from the beginning, I've been in a do-or-die fight.
But you?
Having got the golden spoon pampering in your father's shadow,
you're now here, acting righteous, like all grown-up.
Gun Woo.
This, as the nasty truth... is the real you.
It hurts a little today.
Don't use Se Jin for your ambitions.
You, but for being the Chairman's son, and having the name plate of Mujin Group, would hardly be anything.
You wanted to get management rights using that agreement, but failed at it.
You met your father's subordinates, to appeal for their sympathy.
If it's not about using your father's background, but about doing it on your own, you can show nothing.
-=Lee Se Jin=-
The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.
-=Mujin Tech to be Sold to a Foreign Enterprise=-
-=Baeksong Foundation Operation Status=- -=Jan-Dec 2016. Baeksong Foundation=-
I heard so from Ma Ri.
Apparently, TJ Cultural Foundation
was pretty much made at Chunha Finance. Is that right?
Why are you asking this?
Could I see the files on establishing the Foundation?
What?
Baeksong Foundation, because of corruption,
underwent even a prosecutorial investigation.
How does a new Foundation hedge against such a thing?
I wanted to learn about it.
Hey, you came to the wrong place, didn't you?
This is Chunha Finance.
We are working really happily with Seo Yi Kyung.
What's with that look in your eyes?
While working at Gallery S, I grasped it all from hints in the eyes.
Be it you, President, or Chairman Son,
you're both much dissatisfied with the CEO, as I saw.
Even in the Foundation set-up, you helped only as a last option.
This is quite abrupt...
I will keep the source confidential.
The TJ Foundation documents. Please let me see it.
I assure that you, president, and the Chairman will absolutely not suffer any loss in the end.
Just go back today.
I'll consider it and then contact you.
What are you doing?
I'm planning to move to another place.
As I saw from some thinking,
this place belongs to Chunha Finance.
Laying a trap for a tiger inside its own cave, is a bit odd!
It's all right. Ma Ri's dad said he'll help.
We may be able to get the TJ Foundation files.
He said he'd think about it.
On Mujin Tech, there's nothing we can do.
Some things are impossible even with your best, you know.
From now onward, look into investigating the Foundation.
Those who do a bad thing once,
will do it a 2nd or 3rd time, the same way!
I will do as I see fit.
What do you mean by that?
Hand over everything to me,
and you can just back out of this, Se Jin.
Aren't we a team?
We're partners, you know.
That's correct.
But... let's take a brief breather. That's what I mean.
I won't give up.
Se Jin.
I don't plan to back out even a step.
I am in no mood to get a breather either.
"I will absolutely not give up".
It's with that resolve that I turned my back on the CEO,
and passed on to you the file I stole.
So let's fight together.
We'll see when we fight,
that we'll have more winning days than losing days.
-=President Son Ki Tae=- .
-=President Son Ki Tae=- Thursday at 6 O'clock. At Gagnaire.
On Thursday at 6 O'clock,
he wants to meet at Gagnaire.
We've been lying low for 4 years, Mr. Jang.
Look here, Mr. Nam.
Yes, Mr. Jang.
Once the new Foundation enters a stable phase, and...
I'm the confirmed nominee in the next presidential election...
Yes?
That child...
will have to be ditched, huh?
Another appointment?
Aren't you going to the Foundation inauguration?
I'm not too confident of smiling at nauseating places.
Jang Tae Joon.
At least for today, let him enjoy it to his heart's content!
At a function at the Seoul Hwayeom Hotel Grand Ballroom this afternoon,
the former Baeksong University Chancellor Heo Ki Sun
was appointed as the first Chief Director of the TJ Cultural Foundation, at its inauguration event.
Having received official council recognition this month,

You look disappointed, as it's not whom you were to meet?
Have you been well?
Kinda sorta... Sit down.
President Son Ki Tae won't be coming.
I thought Gun Woo would come with you.
He had other things going on.
I saw the Foundation inauguration news.
- You must be busy? - The busy one would be you.
Busy looking for my weaknesses.
But it's not going as smoothly as I imagined.
Se Jin, you are smart, you know. Tenacious too.
So try harder.
CEO, by nature you have all your documents foolproof, no?
So I failed today too, you see.
Right, it's the Foundation files that you wanted, right?
It's yours.
You can keep it.
No... I...
Why, to me... such big money...
Severance pay. Pocket money. Unexpected windfall.
Whatever you call it, it doesn't matter.
There's no condition, and no reason either.
Just accept it. Because it's your money.
I get what you mean.
Whether I accept this cheque, or not,
CEO, you'll have achieved your objective.
If I accept this,
I'll have to stop what I am doing, right?
I'll no longer have a pretext to look for your weakness.
It's the same thing as a bribe.
If I don't accept this,
I'll probably regret it from time to time.
Whenever I lack money, or encounter difficulties, it'll be like...
"I should've accepted that money then"...
"Is it late to go back and ask for it?"
I will keep getting such pointless thoughts.
Taking a mathematics question
and writing an essay as the answer, just as before!
This is not a complicated calculation.
It's just a yes or no quiz.
To accept this cheque... or to not accept?
If it's a hard decision to make,
shall I set a time limit for you?
10 seconds?
Once past that period,
that two-way proposal will become void.
Ten.
Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Six.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
A game I'm seeing for the first time, it seems.
Doesn't this look interesting?
Se Jin. Can we do this together?
It only just started.
All the people I like have gathered, huh?
Come join.
-=Next Episode Preview=-
The coterie you've joined hands with...
will be betraying you.
Fortunately, I don't trust anyone.
Whatever it takes, I will...
return you to your position.
In this matter, even CEO Seo should be dragged in?
I will control CEO Seo.
The Park family guys get together and protect the Group?
Please help me.
You are confident it won't be snatched away!
I know you are anxious because of Yi Kyung.
No need for you to spend effort alone.
