Why isn't Dawon answering?
Why? Some problem with Dawon?
No.
Oh. Do VP Song and Director Shin have anything to do with it?
What do you mean?
I'm curious what they think about my disqualification.
Director Shin agrees with the executives. I'm not sure about VP Song.
Really?
Can you drop me off here?
Why here?
I'll tell you at CE later.
Isn't trust most important when starting a new venture together?
So?
How about a written contract as a first step of building that trust?
Are you asking to promise a salary on the paper, is that it?
Yes. How much will you pay me?
How much do you want?
-About one... -$2,500?
-How much? -Too little? Then $3,000?
Huh?
Can't be $3,500, is it? I can't pay more than that.
$3,500. Call.
We usually should sign an employment agreement...
...but since we have no business yet...
Employment agreement?
Gyunwoo Jang? Your name's Gyunwoo Jang?
Yes. My name's like... Sexy like me, right?
-And has that faint sense... -Bali Billy's a perfect name for you.
You don't know my name either, right?
Yeah, so let's get to know each other. Here.
But are you worth my money though?
I'm a multi-task man. Strength, brain and the look.
Perfect triple-crown elite employee.
In words only? You haven't proved anything yet.
Come on, trust! Here.
Myunghee Jo? Your name's... So traditional.
Sophisticated like me.
Since I'm paying you $3,500, coupon's coming off of your first paycheck.
That's not right! Coupon is coupon. Salary is salary.
You should pay entertainment and labor separately.
You can't just knock out my coupons like that.
Now that we've signed. How about visiting a jewelry store I've found?
You already found one?
Jewelry, jewelry! Perfect! Let's go.
Nice.
Eye shopping was enjoyable only when young. It's a labor now.
What is he doing here?
Huh?
She's that old hen that harassed Sowon. Why is he with that old hen?
You have to make an appointment!
-You may leave. -Yes.
-Why did you barge in here this time? -You probably know why.
You must've heard the reason from VP Kang.
I thought you two were pretty close.
I did hear from him but I don't get it.
Is it true I was dropped from the list because of my husband's past?
Most of our executives didn't like that history unfortunately.
And the fact that you were a picket girl for the past five years.
Let's say that the recent reinvestigation decision wasn't reflected.
But did you inform them that I contributed to signing a Margot deal?
I brought someone who's willing to meet each executive...
...that opposed my participation.
Can I have him come in?
Please come in.
Hello.
He offered to tell executives of the efforts I've put in for CE's gain.
Where should we go to meet with executives?
You're not considering collective punishment in this day and age, right?
Even if Hyunwoo Jang was guilty, it's wrong to disqualify her based on that.
So you'll visit the executives one by one, huh?
The unfair treatments she received from CE for the past five years are enough.
If they knew what she did for the Margot deal...
...I'm sure they wouldn't have made such a decision.
Sowon. You think it'll work out?
I've done all I can. Except for one.
Except for one? Like what?
I stopped by here whenever I felt frustrated.
It's a wish pond.
The last thing I can do is pray to this pond.
This pond answered many of my prayers.
Let's throw it when I say one, two, three.
One, two, three!
Please let me prove Hyunwoo's innocence now.
Please let her wishes come true.
Hello?
This is CE Group. Is this Ms. Sowon Han?
Yes, this is she.
We'll have a taste testing tomorrow at 10.
Please bring the food to the CE Group headquarter.
You have to get here at least 15 minutes prior.
Yes, thank you.
This pond is amazing. I should use it often.
-I only have a taste testing left. -Pass this one.
Then you can do whatever you want inside the CE Group, not outside.
How much did she want?
Too bad but we won't need money this time.
She'll give up on you?
No. I'm not going to give up on her.
What?
I used to be controlled by you but not anymore.
If you hurt her one more time, I don't know what I'll do.
Is that a threat?
No. I'm just begging you strongly not to touch her.
-What? Begging me strongly? -Yes. I beg you.
Where did you go?
I met that woman again.
What?
I was looked down and mocked enough by her.
But Mom' I don't want to stop.
Just stop. She even slapped you. Come to your senses.
I want to stop but it's so hard.
You've never gave me troubles on boys. Why are you doing this?
-Is it that wench again? -Why did she call again?
Mom!
Hello?
I guess I got a wrong number.
Did you slap my daughter?
Ha. You must be the mother of that dull girl.
What? Dull?
Good. Let's leave them out and finish the talk ourselves.
-How about we meet tomorrow? -Yes. I should see your face.
Let's meet at two at the cafe I met your daughter.
Who was that woman you met at Kangnam?
Kangnam? Did you see her?
Do you even know who she is?
She's a granddaughter of a big corporation.
She's not. She's an aunt of that lousy CE snob!
No way. She's the granddaughter.
No, I'm saying she's the granddaughter's aunt.
The woman that harassed Sowon on the street the other day is her.
I even took her by the hair.
What? The one who spread that crazy rumor about Sowon having an affair?
Yes. Who is she to you?
Well, she's the boss and I'm an employee.
Today, I signed an employment agreement with $3,500 salary.
$3,500? $3,500 a month? She'll pay you that much?
Can't you see this?
Gee, she sure has big hands. What did she see in you to offer $3,500?
Sheesh. You still don't know how able your son is.
Your receiving $3,500 salary is enough to make a news headline.
But become the uncle of Chairwoman's granddaughter?
Uncle?
You signed this without even seeing his resume?
He asked me to sign this. Salary is too high, isn't it?
You're too naive to start a business. You know the entry level employee's salary?
About $5,000?
You've never worked in your life. That's why.
Forget business. Just keep our house with our housekeeper.
Ihyun promised to open a shop for me.
I won't rot as a housekeeper envying Ihyun and Haeran anymore.
Why did Ihyun feed her a false hope? Where is Ihyun?
Please just fail her.
Who'd say anything when everyone has a different taste?
I'd appreciate it, Mr. CEO.
You're before dinner?
I ate dinner. I came to help Sowon.
-What's that? -You didn't buy the ingredients yet, right?
I was going to go to the market before the closing.
I wouldn't have enough time if I go tomorrow at dawn.
That's why I went grocery shopping for you.
I'd appreciate your help.
I'm going home.
-Okay. Bye, Mom. -Good night.
Why did you buy so much?
This is for practice. And this for the test.
Put this in fridge.
Thank you so much.
-You better treat me big if you pass. -Of course.
You tested the recipe. Get some rest.
-One more practice. -Good luck.
Good night.
-What time is the contest today? -At 10.
It'll take quite a time doing preparation and cooking.
It's a recipe idea contest so we just need to taste completed recipe.
Really?
I heard Sowon Han's also on the finalists list.
Yes.
-She brought this red roe, right? -Yes.
Yes.
I tasted this a few years ago. Did her mother make this?
Yes, I heard Hyunwoo Jang's mother-in-law made this.
Like mother, like daughter. If she takes after her mom...
She must be a good cook too.
-Not everybody take after their mom. -Like me.
How is it going with that girl? Did you discuss with your mom?
Nothing to discuss, Mother.
Yes. Because I'm going to keep meeting her.
Should I meet her? I'm curious why she hates her so much.
It's obvious. Because she's not from a rich family.
Why don't three of us have lunch together and discuss about this girl?
I'm sorry, Mother. I have a prior lunch appointment.
You do? Then maybe after work.
-Yes, Grandma. I'll make time. -Okay.
We will now taste your recipe.
Each of you will explain about your food to the judge.
Taste tasting will be conducted by our CEO, Mr. Insoo Kim.
What? My grandmother is there?
Yes. She came in place of Mr. CEO.
What is this?
It's a chicken steak over rice with fermented soybean sauce.
It's a healthy food that used fermented soybean sauce on chicken.
I've put in ginseng when fermenting the soybean to get rid of smell.
Thus it's a healthy fusion dish.
What if some people actually like the fermented soybean smell?
Like a weird old woman like me.
I did see some Europeans that like the smell while I studied there.
But I'd like to make food that'd satisfy majority than the few.
I wonder how she's doing.
I made it with a different point of view.
This cabbage roll was made for a special person and called Hyunwoo Jang rolls.
Hyunwoo Jang rolls?
He can't eat this now but with the hope that someday he'll eat this...
...I've come to upgrade to this cabbage roll.
This one has tofu instead of rice.
Since excessive consumption of carbo is problematic in modern society...
...I've used tofu and for color, I've mixed in green tea.
Not only are the shrimp, mushroom veggies and tofu make a great harmony...
...since I've used grinded shrimp tail and dried anchovies instead of salt...
...it's a nutritious and good tasting wellbeing food with low cholesterol.
My legs are swollen from walking everywhere.
Should I massage them for you? I'm the expert Bali massage man.
Hey. People are looking.
I know. It's a public place. Then I'll do it in private later.
Don't know if we'll have that chance.
We can always make that chance.
You only think of me once in a while, right?
Well... I guess.
But... I think of you day and night.
Only Sis...
Don't call me as a sis anymore.
Then how should I call you?
You're an employee and I'm the owner. So call me boss.
Boss?
Okay. Which store did you like the most, boss?
Not sure. I guess the fanciest Chungdamdong jewelry shop?
No way. It'll cost at least a million.
A million? That's nothing.
-How much can you afford? -Not sure. I haven't asked yet.
-Then you should ask the Chairwoman. -Nah. I should ask Ihyun.
Ihyun... She's talking about that snob, Ihyun Song?
Where did you learn such a dirty trick?
I didn't imagine you'd mess with the company contest out of all people.
You persuaded executives only to fail Sowon?
Executives and CEO on top!
Why kind of grudge do you have against Sowon to have done this?
I did it for the company. She'd do anything to fulfill her goal like a leech.
There you go again!
If you start having bias against people or situations, it's endless.
To lead a company, you have to rid of personal feelings.
Do you know how important it is to stay objective?
If you do this ever again, you'll have to empty this office. Remember that!
Let's go, Mother.
Aren't you going to see her to her car?
Sowon.
Is the test over?
Yes. They'll inform the result individually.
You've done your best so you just need to wait now.
I was protesting here just two weeks ago.
I can't believe I'm standing here now.
<Ms. Sowon Han. You passed CE Group's recipe contest as a finalist.>
I passed.
I knew it.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
I'm enjoying your red roe.
-Did your mother make it? -Yes. She made it herself.
Like mother, like daughter. You must take after your mother.
I hope you make many of those good recipes when you start working here.
And let's make time to have lunch together.
Yes. Thank you, Ms. Chair.
You've gone from Dawon Restaurant to CE Group.
You'll have somewhere else to go after you prove Manager Jang's innocence.
Where?
I'll tell you later.
You better remember what I said. If you disappoint me once again, I'll just!
Wait for me, Mother.
From boarding room, reinvestigation and even a job here.
Let go of VP Kang if you have any conscience.
If you have any conscience, how about an apology?
What?
If you didn't interfere with the reinvestigation or the contest...
He didn't help me but he helped for the fair cause.
You're implying you'll continue to use him?
Don't you know him? He'll never use anyone.
But more so, he'll never be taken advantage of.
Did Ms. Chair leave?
Thanks to our Chairwoman's recognition of Sowon, you'll see her even at work.
You said she was a partner due to Hyunwoo Jang's case.
But I think you two are more than partners.
What's your point?
Who is she to you? What does she mean to you?
Grandmother keeps telling me to get to know you but I don't think...
...you two are just partners in work.
Am I wrong?
No, you're not.
I have special feelings for Sowon. But that's only me.
So I hope you don't waste your time on this unworthy man.
Then you're in for one-sided love just like me.
Why don't we comfort each other sometimes for a while?
I also don't want to put pressure on you.
How did it go?
I passed.
You did? That's great!
-Where's Mom? -She went somewhere with Dawon.
They both looked so depressed. Wonder where they went.
I guess they're meeting her now.
Did we come too early?
You should've stayed at home.
I'd be nervous if I stayed at home.
Where is the restroom?
Her mom didn't come?
What on earth...
She... She is... She is Jeungsook Lee's daughter?
Impossible... Jeongsook Lee. You butt into my life like this?
Choose either me or her.
Did he come to visit Hyunwoo? You two went somewhere earlier, right?
I knew something was fishy.
-All we need is my grandma's approval. -I'll meet her.
Really? Keep it a secret from Mom please.
Sowon. We have to go to the hospital. Hyunwoo's in a critical condition!
