(Episode 3)
Yes, that's right.
It was like hitting a rock with an egg.
I didn't exactly expect the rock to break.
It was foolish and reckless.
But I don't regret it.
Because the egg played its part...
by breaking against the rock.
Check how many we have left in storage.
Yes, sir.
We're up to our necks dealing with the fallout with Cheongil.
I'm sorry, but please make sure you meet the deadline.
That's right, the day after tomorrow.
Mr. Hwang.
- Yes, sir? - Why are other companies...
bringing in Cheongil's normal batch?
Our deadline is tight and we're having trouble...
pushing out our products.
Your department is abusing power...
and other departments down the line are being blasted with the blowback.
Sir,
we didn't abuse power at all.
Cheongil Electronics severed our contract and...
What?
My apologies, sir.
What's all this about abusing power?
Do you not have a control over our subcontractors?
Mr. Moon?
My apologies, sir. I will sort this out right away.
President Oh of Cheongil Electronics...
put us in a pickle by severing our deal.
If he hadn't acted irrationally, we would've been able...
to secure a smooth transition.
Seongwoo is having trouble with the sudden flow of orders.
For now, I'll split the orders among other subcontractors...
and meet the deadline.
No, that's not necessary.
Sorry?
Call Park Do Joon to my office.
(Letter of Resignation)
Mr. Moon is asking for you.
Sure.
Come in.
How has it been at work?
- It's been all right. - You should get back on track.
It takes great courage to tell a big company like this...
that they're wrong.
It's also very lonely.
I know from experience.
But the times of struggle will make you stronger.
If I give you a chance, can you prove yourself?
Whether it's your abilities or desperation, whatever.
It's to help Cheongil Electronics, one of our subcontractors.
Since helping them would help our company too.
It'll be a great opportunity for you.
What do you say? Will you give it a shot?
I'll do my best.
You will be transferred to the Shared Growth Team.
I hope you do well.
Thank you.
Park Do Joon and Cheongil Electronics.
We'll be able to get rid of two problems at once.
Nice.
Ma'am!
Ma'am, I'll prepare...
today's lunch.
I'll prepare today's lunch.
- Gosh. - What are you doing here?
There you are.
Can you bring this seaweed soup back to life?
Why? Did you murder it? Do you need me to revive it?
Yes, it's bland.
Goodness.
My gosh! This is why I respect you.
I'm not sure if seasoning soup is something to earn respect with.
You were incredible at selling our products too.
I was more than just pleasantly surprised.
Right? I surprised myself too, you know.
So what are you up to today?
It's Mr. Song's birthday today,
and I felt bad since the company isn't doing well.
You have weird taste in men.
He has a wife and child.
Don't you think it'll be frowned upon?
What? That's not what this is about.
It really isn't. That's not the case.
Unbelievable.
You're so gullible that you make people want to tease you.
- What am I going to do with you? - My gosh.
You really startled me.
Can you try this too? I made it myself.
It's good. You did a good job.
It's really good.
Goodness.
I feel terrible that the rest of the kitchen staff quit...
and left you all alone in here.
When you're old, you should constantly stay busy.
Otherwise, you can't stay healthy.
Ma'am, I'll wash the lettuce.
Mr. Song, over here.
This is a surprise.
- Enjoy. - You too.
- Mr. Myung. - Yes?
When was the last time we had a decent meal?
Tell me about it.
But what's with the seaweed soup?
Gosh, it looks good.
To celebrate your birthday, Mr. Song,
Miss Lee... I mean, our boss...
cooked the soup and rolled eggs all by herself.
Is it my birthday today?
- Yes. - Really?
- Happy birthday, Mr. Song. - Right, thanks.
- Happy birthday. - Thanks...
Happy birthday, Mr. Song.
Where are the presents?
Just feel the warmth in my words.
My gosh.
I'll try a sip.
It's really good.
Guys, please enjoy.
Thank you.
- Happy birthday. - Thanks.
I know it hasn't been easy for any one of you.
Could there be a way...
to stop the company from going bankrupt?
As you know, Mr. Kim of Donghan Corporation...
generously gave us an extension on our payment.
It'll be awful if we just let the company go under.
Are you kidding me?
400,000 dollars.
You want us to pay a bill of 400,000 dollars until then?
What can we possibly do to remedy the situation?
Do you have any ideas?
No, I don't at the moment but...
Boss Lady, we're losing our appetites here.
I'm sorry.
The rolled eggs are amazing.
(Miss Lee)
I'll sleep at home tonight then.
Okay.
Promise me you'll go straight home.
(Miss Lee)
What? Why do you keep calling?
Sir.
How do I stop us from going bankrupt?
What?
Selling the vacuum cleaners isn't cutting it.
They gave us an extension, but even that date is coming up,
so there's no way to stop us from going bankrupt.
And you won't come in.
What do you want from me?
Every time I felt lost and asked you for advice,
you told me what to do.
Even if you were mean about it, you told me what to do.
You're not abandoning the company, are you?
I'm busy. Bye.
- Hey, it's time for the meeting. - Okay.
Let's begin.
I know...
you all tried your best, but it was hard.
Miss Lee, how many did we sell?
We sold 94 at a discounted price of 30 dollars.
So that's 28,200 dollars.
Should we split that among ourselves...
and go our separate ways?
This is the last time, so we should at least eat together.
Sure, let's do that.
The company is what's ruined, not our lives.
I'm sure things will pick up.
Pick up?
Like what?
Like we may get better opportunities...
and get better jobs.
Or we may not find a job, bum around,
be unable to see a doctor even if we're sick,
and die all alone without family or friends.
Right?
During the 2002 World Cup,
when our player missed the decisive goal,
Cha Bum Kun said this.
"This too, is a part of soccer."
So this too, is a part of life.
We should shake it off and get on with our lives.
Don't cry, Mr. Myung.
Everyone should make a fresh start.
Yes.
(Patent Cooperation Treaty)
(Bank check for 1,000,000 dollars)
Just go to the factory and screw in some nails.
Hello?
What?
You found the checks?
Where?
Thank goodness we found them.
Bring them to the bank right now...
and cash them out and bring me the money.
I can't do that.
What? Why not?
I used it all.
What are you talking about?
Bring it right now!
What should we have? Barbecue?
Let's eat meat. It's our last time, so let's have rib eye.
Sure.
Come in.
What is this?
Don't ask. Just open it.
Money.
How many zeros is that?
Does this say 100,000?
100,000?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
- 500,000 dollars. - 500,000 dollars.
- 500,000 dollars? - 500,000 dollars?
Where did you get this money?
It's probably company money.
He's got such confidence because he's the owner's son.
It's... It's 500,000 dollars.
The company had money? It had money?
- This is... - Why does he have the money?
- Yes. - It's 500,000 dollars.
See? This only happened...
because we hung in there instead of giving up right away.
Hold on. If it's 500,000 dollars,
we can pay everyone's back pay and some severance too.
Right?
What about we use this to prevent bankruptcy...
and continue running the company?
What craziness is that?
Our company's done for.
It's a sinking ship.
We should take our pay and severance and jump ship.
He's totally right.
If you stay on a sinking ship, you'll just drown.
If we split 528,200 dollars among all of us,
we can take 40,000 dollars each.
40,000 dollars...
You'll return my 30,000 dollars right away, right?
We need that 400,000 dollars to pay off our subcontractors too.
Smaller businesses need that money to just stay open.
Are you suggesting that they all sink?
Listen.
I don't know about the money from selling the vacuum cleaners,
but we can't split that money only among ourselves.
There are at least 30 people at factories 1 and 2,
and there are dozens of workers who left without being paid.
So? You want to share it with everyone?
Then it'll be hardly anything per person.
That's true. Plus,
why should we share it with people who abandoned the company?
No, we should not.
Of course. We're the ones who stayed and sold the vacuum cleaners.
And the factory workers are the ones who stayed and made those vacuums.
Seriously. You discriminated against us in the past too.
What?
Excuse me. It's good to split it, however much we get,
but there will be nowhere for us to work starting tomorrow.
We can stop the bankruptcy with this money, so...
Let's say we get past it this time.
What will you do about the second, third, and fourth times?
Don't you remember what Mr. Oh Man Bok always said?
"We're in trouble."
"This is the worst ever."
We were always in trouble.
We were never out of trouble.
This is different.
Our relationship with TM is dead because of him.
The little man bit the big man.
Do you think the big man will be nice to us and save us?
They'll probably take back their investment,
and if they can't get paid, they'll take our equipment.
The company is drowning in debt.
How can we keep the factories running and stay afloat?
Yes, it'll be hard to stay afloat if we stick around,
but wouldn't it be harder to leave here and start anew?
It's hard to get a job these days.
And private businesses are all shutting down.
You do have a point.
The old stores in my neighborhood keep disappearing these days.
We have the lowest unemployment rate ever,
and the number of businesses shutting down has reached its peak.
That's why people say, "A workplace may be a battlefield,"
"but the outside world is a living fiery pit."
Not only that.
I even thought that we might get lucky...
and actually succeed...
in saving our company...
as I went around selling our vacuum cleaners.
And I really liked how we all ate together...
to celebrate Mr. Song's birthday.
Me too. If we give it a try,
we might really be able to save our company.
Then how about we save our company...
and eventually make all of our employees come back?
Will you stop talking nonsense? It's so annoying.
Let's vote...
and decide what to do.
Either we give out everyone's pensions and go our separate ways...
or...
Or we use that money to stop the company from going bankrupt.
Let's vote.
Miss Lee, bring the ballot paper.
- Okay. - No, wait.
You want to vote right now?
What about the other employees including the factory workers?
If we're really going to vote, we should send out a notice...
and give everyone the right to vote.
Most of the factory workers are contract workers anyway.
They're either part-timers or freelancers.
How are we going to gather them when they're free to quit whenever?
The result is pretty obvious, so let's just do it.
He's right. Let's just vote.
This isn't a normal situation,
and we're in no place to follow the procedure.
Even if that's the case, this is not right.
Why would you even say that?
Do you think factory workers are all just part-timers...
and freelancers?
You don't even consider them as proper employees.
I'm not going to participate in something like this. Forget it.
- What a lousy way to vote. Move. - Ms. Choi...
- I'm not going to vote. - Me neither.
My goodness.
They work hard all day, and that's what they think?
Then we'll just say you both abstained.
Miss Lee, hurry up and bring the ballot papers.
Catch me if you can!
Mr. Yoo, what should we do about the company?
Mr. Oh gave us 500,000 dollars, so we don't need to go bankrupt.
So we can't just file for bankruptcy and go our separate ways.
People want to vote and decide now. What do you think we should do?
(Maintain)
(Disperse)
"Disperse".
(Disperse)
"Disperse".
"Maintain".
(Disperse, Maintain)
"Disperse".
"Maintain".
That was the last vote.
And the result...
turned out to be a tie.
- Mr. Yoo. - Why do you keep texting?
It's an important vote, so I figured you should know.
You can be our last vote. Go ahead and vote.
Vote, my foot.
Where's Ms. Choi and the factory workers?
They abstained.
If you wanted to vote, you should've gathered everyone.
Plus, what are you even voting for?
The 500,000 dollars you got from Mr. Oh is the company's money.
Who says you have the right...
to divide that money for yourselves?
We should take what we can before we lose that money too.
TM gave us that money for the products we made.
So it's only right that we pay our subcontractors first...
and stop the company from going bankrupt.
- Miss Lee. - Yes?
What do you think?
I agree with you.
Then why don't you just do that? You're the president of the company.
- Hello? - Hi, Mr. Kim.
This is Miss Lee from Cheongil.
We just wired you the money.
Are you serious?
Yes, you should check.
Okay. Thank you, Miss Lee. No, I mean...
Thank you so much, President Lee.
Don't thank me. I'm the one who should thank you.
I will never forget your kindness.
Thank you.
Jin Wook.
I overheard your phone call.
You should use this for her surgery.
You need to save her first.
Weren't you going to use that...
to prevent the company from going bankrupt?
I'll just borrow money...
from somewhere else.
But still...
Just take it.
Thank you, sir.
You'd better not quit...
before I fire you. If you do, I'll kill you.
Where in the world did Young Ja bring this puppy?
- What's the puppy's name? - I don't know yet.
It's May right now, so call it May.
(Cheongil Electronics)
Hello.
May I help you?
Hello.
I'm Park Do Joon from TM Electronic's...
Shared Growth Team.
"TM Electronics"?
May I see the president of Cheongil Electronics?
The president of Cheongil Electronics?
Good morning, President Lee.
Thank you.
Have a seat.
- Sorry? - Have a seat.
Right, sure.
We wish to help Cheongil Electronics...
get back on its feet as fast as possible.
That is, if you are willing to accept our help.
Is there a specific plan?
Our goal is to stabilize Cheongil...
and grow together as a reliable partner.
In order to do so though, there must be an audit...
regarding its finances...
so that we can find a solution to the problem.
That is, if you choose to accept our help.
What do you think?
I couldn't be more willing.
Welcome aboard then.
I'll do my best.
Thank you so much.
This way.
So this is our factory.
Ma'am.
Who's that?
Maybe he's a creditor.
What?
She's not here now?
Ma'am.
This is Mr. Park Do Joon...
from TM's Shared Growth Team.
This is Ms. Choi.
TM Electronics?
I hope we get along.
I'm Park Do Joon from TM's Shared Growth Team.
You can deliver your goods to TM again,
so please operate the machines.
The order will only be as much as you can produce.
I hope we get along well too.
Thank you.
Nice!
My friend at Seongwoo Corporation told me...
that they're having a hard time handling the extra orders.
What did I tell you?
Our company must be up and running...
for TM to meet its deadlines too.
Guys, let's hurry and fire up the machines.
We'll do it with the hands we have on deck.
- Fire them up! - Yes!
(Cheongil Electronics)
Yes, exactly, so get ready to deliver your goods too.
I'll be right there.
Here!
When one door closes, another always opens.
TM sent someone to help get back on our feet.
We were told to operate the machines.
- To help? - Yes.
Once they meet their deadline,
they might fire us again.
They won't if we do well.
I'll head to the factory 2 then.
Hold on. Since TM's involved now,
we'll at least get our salaries, right?
Our salaries?
Monthly payments should be made at the right time,
and I'm going crazy without my proper dosage.
Still, isn't the situation more hopeful now?
The factories have been fired up again.
You sure are an optimist.
There are many subcontractors for TM to choose from,
so why would they bother to help the likes of us?
If they're not trying to help then...
Wait, is this so that they can recoup their investment?
Bingo.
So once they do,
they'll abandon us?
- Yes. - No way.
The more I look, the prettier it seems.
These financial statements, I mean.
Meanwhile, the income statement and balance sheet...
have been heavily manipulated.
I'm sure you have...
the original statements that weren't fabricated.
As far as I know, none exists.
What exactly do you mean by that?
Does it exist or does it not?
Or do you not know about it at all?
The latter.
I'd like the company's bank statement...
- Okay. - and the number of your accountant.
The company's accountant? Hold on.
Will you excuse me for a second?
Yes, this is Cheongil Electronics.
The loan interest is overdue?
How much should be paid then?
Yes, I understand.
Thank you.
Ms. Lee,
are you aware of the company's assets...
and its liabilities?
I've been cautiously gathering my information,
but I don't know the exact numbers.
What efforts have you been making to put the company back on track?
Well...
We've been putting in our efforts...
here and there.
You'll help us, right?
Someone like Miss Lee is our company president.
The guy from TM must find it hilarious too.
Tell me about it.
But we can't tell him that she was chosen by a game of Spin the Bottle.
It's humiliating.
(Cheongil Electronics)
Some of our subcontractors are up to par,
but some aren't.
You'll find that they don't have proper protocol or procedures.
What can we do though?
In order to help them, we must do our very best.
I'll be ready.
How does that make sense?
At least, we should...
Ms. Lee, may I have a word?
Yes, of course. I wanted to talk to you too.
What do you say to a team dinner tonight?
You should get to know the employees.
How about pasta?
Gizzard is what you eat in the fall.
I don't think you have that kind of luxury.
I'm sure you're all aware of this,
but Cheongil Electronics has a negative balance.
Apart from the essentials,
you will need to sell all machines...
and assets.
Also, in order to bring Cheongil out of the red,
you must reduce costs.
In order to do so,
you should know that restructuring and layoffs...
will be inevitable.
What? Wait...
Are you kidding me?
Who is he...
to barge into our offices...
and talk like that?
Go over there and tell him that you won't approve of layoffs.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Park,
must the company go under restructuring...
- and layoffs? - Of course.
You asked me to help get Cheongil back on its feet.
Do you know your total amount of liabilities?
It's close to 17 million dollars.
Most of the company's assets are land...
which aren't easily liquefiable.
How will you pay your employees...
and keep the company up and running?
Also, look at this.
According to Cheongil's bank record,
thousands of dollars were wired to Yihwawon on several occasions.
It's not one of your partners, so what is this place?
Yihwawon?
What could it be?
It's a typical method used to embezzle money.
I've already logged 300,000 dollars,
so we should head to the bank and see where the money went.
Will you be coming to? I can go by myself, you know.
- Is there a reason why I shouldn't? - Sorry?
No, let's go.
Do you still cut in front of people?
Cut?
Sorry.
I missed my turn, but I need to make a deposit right away.
Okay. Just a minute.
I don't cut in front of people.
- Hello. - Hello.
I'm from Cheongil Electronics.
Cheongil.
I'm the one who called.
Just a minute.
Let's see.
You're behind on interest payments for two months.
The interest for the third month is due at the end of this month.
You need to pay 68,997 dollars.
Should I explain what happens if you default...
on your loan interest for three months?
No, there's no need. That won't happen.
I wanted to get the account details.
I can't give you that because of privacy laws.
She's the legal representative.
Please give me your seal and ID.
- Here it is. - Okay.
The account holder for this account is...
The account holder...
is you, Lee Sun Shim.
What?
Embezzlement?
I never did that.
I don't even have the bank book.
It really isn't me.
Do you expect me to believe that?
We just saw who the account holder was.
The police is here, so they can check the security videos.
Okay, let's talk afterward.
A little more. Keep going.
There. Stop.
Isn't that you?
No, it isn't.
Can you check the other dates as well?
This is the only transaction that was made at our branch,
so this is all we have.
It really wasn't me.
This is so unfair.
I'll give you three days.
Decide in three days.
Don't just cry that it's unfair, and prove your innocence.
Or confess...
and go to jail.
Are you here?
- Hello. The delivery... - Hello.
What's this?
- Performance evaluation? - Yes.
They say to evaluate yourself and the other employees...
and submit it by tomorrow.
Why are they requiring something stupid like this?
It'll just make people nervous.
I'm sure they'll use it to decide who gets let go in the downsizing.
That's correct.
Once you submit the performance evaluations,
we will start the 1-on-1 interviews from tomorrow.
Please cooperate to get the company back on its feet.
Also, we sold some of the machinery today...
after receiving shareholders' approval.
We'll pay you your back pay as soon as possible.
Our back pay?
As soon as possible too.
Okay.
My heart is shrinking and my hands and feet...
are shaking at the thought of being paid.
There's nothing I can't do.
Sure.
Thank you. Sorry.
Thank you again.
(Performance Evaluation Form)
Come in.
Excuse me.
So...
I'm Myung In Ho.
You wanted to see me?
Yes, Mr. Myung. Please have a seat.
Your self-evaluation is pretty low.
I thought perhaps you were modest,
but the other employees' evaluations of you are also...
quite low.
Why is that?
They think I'm not good at my job...
I guess that's the reason.
(Cheongil Electronics, Myung In Ho)
What's wrong?
What are you doing?
- I'm quitting. - What?
What?
This is absurd.
You can't just fire him like this.
He gave himself a C, and so did the other employees.
It's a big problem when someone thinks...
they're good at their jobs when they're actually really bad.
But it's even worse when they can't improve when they already know...
that they're underperforming.
It's okay.
That's because Mr. Myung is overly conscientious.
Then...
since you're not as conscientious as you should be,
are you confident about keeping an employee like him?
But...
Mr. Myung.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Why are you sorry?
I'll be off now.
What's this? What's going on?
Now that Mr. Myung has got laid off,
he won't fire anyone else, right?
He wouldn't have called it a downsizing...
if he was only going to fire one person.
He'll probably fire a few more people.
Everyone, sit down.
Listen to me, you idiot.
There's a procedure when it comes to laying people off.
The company needs to choose whom to lay off...
based on a rational and fair principle.
You need to do everything you can to avoid getting fired...
A downsizing is very urgent due to the company's huge deficit.
Mr. Myung acknowledged his incompetence...
and willingly decided to resign from the company.
He didn't willingly resign.
He was wrongfully dismissed.
- Miss Lee. - Yes?
Did you give Mr. Myung a letter regarding his dismissal...
- and the reason behind it? - No.
Then his dismissal doesn't count.
So sit back down in your seat.
Mr. Yoo.
Do as I say.
Mr. Myung, you should go back to your seat.
Ms. Kim Ha Na.
- Yes? - Ms. Kim.
Yes?
Sit back down.
You don't need to go through this absurd interview.
Sit down and get back to work.
Please come inside.
I told you to sit down and get back to work!
Mr. Yoo, please calm down.
Ms. Kim, go ahead and proceed with the interview.
He came to save our company.
Ms. Kim, please come inside.
You gave Mr. Song a very low evaluation grade.
Yes, he hates to work...
and he loves doing things that make him happy.
Things that make him happy?
Does that mean he spends a lot of time on his hobbies?
No, he doesn't spend time on his hobbies.
He does things to make him happy.
And embezzling little things is what makes him happy.
For example like what?
For example...
Yes, let's do that.
My goodness.
Okay, then. Let's see.
Nice. Let's take this.
He always takes stuff from the office pantry.
And I heard...
he always makes sure to poop in the company bathroom.
And he even takes home the toilet paper.
He's...
completely thoughtless.
Mr. Song, it seems like you think you contribute a lot...
to this company.
Yes, it's embarrassing to admit.
But as you already know,
employees who work for small companies like this...
are not as well-educated as the employees at big companies.
And we lack a lot of competent employees.
So in a way, a competent man like me...
has to do all the work to make up for what this company lacks.
Are you sure you're not talking about Mr. Yoo?
What? Mr. Yoo?
Yes, well...
I'm not sure if I should tell you this.
Let me tell you something, Mr. Park.
I feel like you should know this.
People think Mr. Yoo...
is the definition of all evil.
He extorts and pressures our subcontractors.
He likes to get entertained, receives bribery,
and carries out all sorts of irregularities.
So people call him a blood-sucking vampire.
That's just what I heard.
Mr. Park.
Yes?
My wife is pregnant with a baby at an old age.
So she recently took an ultrasound.
And apparently, we're having triplets.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
So what?
In order to pay for their education...
until they graduate college,
I need to work until I'm 67 years old.
So I'm just hoping that you'll keep that in mind.
You embezzled 300,000 dollars and wired it...
from the company's bank account to yours.
What was your ulterior motive behind staying here...
and agreeing to be the president of the company?
Is there something more you need to do?
You want to know what I need to do?
You won't be able to change anything.
If you fail to prove your innocence, you'll get criminal punishment.
You have two more days.
"Notice of Compulsory Enforcement of Illegal Buildings".
(Prosecution Notice Regarding Illegal Software)
"Prosecution Notice Regarding Illegal Software".
I have a lot of places to go and a lot of stuff I need to do.
So may I please leave?
This is all so salty.
Ma'am, why is everything so salty?
The company's already giving me a hard time,
and you're not helping at all.
It's all very salty!
Miss Lee embezzled the company's money.
What are you talking about? She embezzled the company's money?
The company doesn't even have any money to embezzle.
Mr. Park from TM Electronics...
must've found something while he was investigating the company funds.
Miss Lee apparently embezzled 300,000 dollars.
300,000 dollars? Are you sure it's not 300 or 3,000 dollars?
She told us she got scammed by Ji Na.
Was that all a lie?
I thought she was just naive and clumsy.
Did we all get fooled?
She acted all dumb, but she took the company's money behind our...
Miss Lee?
That's Miss Lee.
Is she running away?
Hey, Miss Lee!
Where are you going? Stop right there!
You... Did you...
I hear you embezzled money. Is this true?
No, of course not!
- This is driving me crazy. - Seriously?
I heard what Mr. Park said.
You wired the company's money into your account.
That's not it. Ms. Koo said that...
it's a policy for all new recruits to open new accounts...
and leave them with the Accounting Team.
Are you blaming this on her again?
You sure are a piece of work.
How much did you embezzle?
You've got it all wrong. Please hear me out.
How about a trip to prison then?
All the people there say they're innocent too.
You want us to believe you? Give us proof so that we can.
I don't want to be played by someone like you too,
so get me the evidence.
Evidence?
It really wasn't me.
You should be begging for our forgiveness,
not trying to make excuses like this.
It's your fault that the company went under.
Say something.
Why won't you say anything?
Don't just stand there and explain yourself!
Mr. Yoo,
it really wasn't me.
(Miss Lee)
There could be a chance that Ms. Lee embezzled money,
and she has lost the trust of the employees.
Miss Lee is being accused...
of something she didn't do. Isn't it unfair?
Well, it wasn't me.
What could be better than Cheongil falling to pieces on its own?
- Exactly. - Mr. Yoo will be first to be fired?
I won't allow a cutback on my salary.
Have you raised kids while being married to a useless husband?
I need to be doing well first in order to take care of others.
Don't you care about your colleagues?
Incompetent ones should leave here first.
How many do you need to fire in order to save the company?
