Will you come in for a second?
Well,
there's something I want to ask.
It's about the day...
when we first met after the breakup.
The day I was appointed to your team?
That day,
why did you do it?
Why did you send that message to Jung Sun?
I wanted to...
create...
friction between you two.
(Ms. Na Jung Sun)
You should go home.
Where are you?
How dare you send me such a message?
You've crossed a line.
You've gone too far stabbing me behind my back.
How dare you!
Jung Sun.
Are you okay?
Is that why you took the surveillance footage?
To protect her?
Bastard.
Get out of our team.
Everyone knows.
They know you're Sung Jun's mistress.
Don't bring this to a worse mess, and get out yourself.
Get some rest.
It's all my fault.
I envied Ms. Na.
The day I was appointed...
Please, introduce yourself.
Hello, I'm On Yu Ri.
Click here and type your number and password.
I've never worked in an office, so I don't know what my password is.
Then let me ask the personnel team the initial password.
Thank you.
I realized...
I could never...
beat her.
Why did she have to be your wife?
I was so shabby compared to her.
So I got angry.
I couldn't...
stand the feeling that me and us were like nothing.
So I wanted to put a blemish on her.
Or at least a scratch.
But...
There you go.
Your mother will be fine.
She'll wake up for you.
You've done well for the first time.
Ms. Na was such a nice person,
and I regretted it.
I know I'm a horrible witch.
But...
don't hate me.
Please.
Don't hate me.
(Consensual divorce intention confirmation document)
(Two opponents)
(Episode 13)
No way.
Come and look at this.
What is it?
This is crazy.
(Personnel order - Director Bae Do Il : Fired)
What's going on?
He's fired?
Do you think it's over?
Just wait and see.
I'm going to come back and end you.
So what Ms. Song is talking about is...
that you went to see Mr. Bae to turn him down,
and it was then when Mr. Bae molested you.
Am I right?
Yes.
Is it also true...
that you filmed and handed...
the video of Tifone exhibition to Mr. Bae on October 29th?
Yes.
Our performance has decreased by ten percent...
compared to last week.
The decrease in sales of age 3-40s in the metropolitan area is...
- even greater. - That won't last long.
Public opinion may be convulsed now,
but you know how it cools down and vanish.
If you look at the case of Yeojin Food Company,
last year's molestation caused a drop in market share...
and still hasn't recovered.
Distribution targeted at the internal market like ours is...
more affected by issues like these.
It's important for our company to take consistent action.
Brace yourself to cut out all the rotten parts of our firm,
and don't be afraid if things get more serious.
If we try to conceal it,
it'll lead us to bigger problems.
This year's Founding Day event will be replaced by a workshop...
of executives since there have been some troubles.
It still hasn't changed that the fundamentals...
of the Sung Un Department Store are sound.
We'll be able to overcome this crisis...
with the competitiveness we've accumulated until now.
Please do your best at your post.
- See me in my office, Mr. Park. - Yes, ma'am.
About Mr. Bae's matter,
I've decided to deal with it as you have.
So,
have you thought about it?
I apologize.
I appreciate your offer,
but I'm afraid I can't.
You should take the offer if you appreciate it.
I've been under Vice President for a long time.
There has been a lot of crises,
but he had always believed in me without wavering.
I think...
I also owe him for it.
That's a shame...
for me,
and for you.
Ms. Lee.
I have a new draft for the gift card.
Leave it there.
As you know, I lack experience.
I still have a lot to learn from you.
Will you be able to...
- teach me from now on? - This isn't a school.
I'm in no position to teach you.
You learn how to do your job on your own.
I'm guessing this is because of what happened with Ms. Na.
But I draw a clear line between public and private matters.
I have no intention of taking sides with anyone.
But...
one can't have everything...
she wants, don't you think?
President wanted Mr. Park on her side?
It's a new stone taking out the old stone.
For the newly appointed president,
she's seeing too many old stones of the Vice President.
And Mr. Park was a stone that stood out among them.
So what choice does she have?
As the president, she can either bring...
Vice President's men to her side,
or...
she'd have to take out the old stones.
What do you think he'll do?
Do you think he'll take her side?
He won't...
let go of Mr. Park.
They're...
quite strongly attached to each other.
Mr. Park will stay by the Vice President's side.
What are you doing?
I found them on my way here.
So,
chocolate is known...
to prevent your body from producing cortisol...
which is the stress hormone, and it makes you feel better.
I wanted to cheer you up.
Thanks.
Cheer up.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E25 'VIP' "Yu Ri's Intention" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Please take good care of it.
- Here. - Thank you.
How did the audit go with the inspection team?
Yes.
It went fine.
Good job.
I just have a lot on my mind.
I also told them about the video.
What I did was wrong,
so I have nothing to say if I get punished for it.
But if I do get punished,
it'll be difficult for me to be promoted.
I thought I'd be causing harm to the company by staying.
After what happened,
I felt like I'm enduring all of it for nothing.
My belly will be showing soon,
and I think it's about time to quit.
Take a leave and get some rest.
You've gone through a lot of stress these days.
Go play with your children and eat a lot of good food.
Then come back.
How was the talk with the President?
Good.
The customized diffusers planned by Ms. On has received...
a positive VIP response, so it'll be formally adopted starting next year.
Are you planning...
to keep Ms. On in the VIP team?
The VIP team is still our core department.
As long as one of my people is in the team,
it'll bother the president.
I understand what you're worried about.
But it's also her job to survive there.
Yes, sir.
Still,
we should prepare soon.
I feel great to go home...
with you today, not our babysitter.
You'll get hurt. Be careful.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Say hello, kids. - Hi.
Be nice, Ye Rim.
The bus is here!
- It's the bus! - It looks like a butt.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Let's go, kids.
- Se Yeon! - Yes.
- Bye. - Sit down, Young Jun.
- Okay. - Bye!
Fasten your seat belts.
Eat well.
Goodbye!
I'll be waiting here later.
- Bye! - Bye!
Are you a working mom?
It's just that I've never seen you before.
Mothers nowadays make such a big deal out of it.
It's like they're parting during the war.
It's all right.
The kids don't always look for their parents when they grow up.
You just have to adore them a lot while you still can.
No one is perfect in this world.
My daughter is also a working mom.
You reminded me of my daughter.
I'll see you later.
- Hello. - The office looks quite empty.
No?
Where is she?
The Founding Day event for executives.
What did you say?
Don't they have to bring a spouse there?
- I envy you. - Sure.
- We'll talk again. - Yes.
Isn't Ms. Na coming?
No, she had work to do.
She's my wife. Say hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
She came.
Mr. Park said you couldn't make it today,
but you came somehow.
I was able to manage my schedule thankfully.
- See you later. - See you.
Let's sit.
Stop frowning.
People might notice.
- Jung Sun. - I've thought about...
what would trouble you the most right now.
(Park Sung Jun, Na Jung Sun)
I won't get divorced.
It will be like a pit of fire for both of us.
I told you.
Let's go to the pit of fire together.
Is there anything you're looking for?
Well...
Are there any kinds of shoes comfortable...
for pregnant women?
What about these models?
Both of them are cushy and foot-friendly.
A lot of pregnant women prefer wearing them.
My wife likes red.
- I'll take this one. - Okay.
- Which size would you like? - 230mm, please.
Okay.
Should I get a bigger one since her feet might get swollen?
Sure, I'll get you a pair that's one size bigger.
Thank you.
Did you get a girlfriend?
It's for my wife.
What's in that brain of yours?
Will you please know the reasons?
Reasonably speaking,
why would you buy a gift for your wife on a random day?
There have been a lot of incidents these days.
I want her to feel better.
You've suddenly become mature.
Your afterlife might be so bright.
- Do you go to church? - Do you want to die?
Get lost, you punk.
What's the big deal about that mere promotion...
that you put up with his threat?
How long do you think I can last if I fail to be promoted again?
Then just resign.
- What? - Just quit.
I'll support our family somehow.
That's easy for you to say.
You're struggling anyway...
to raise our kids and work at the same time.
If you were to be treated like this,
- just quit working. - Stop it already.
Why do you think I'm struggling so hard to hold out?
Even by feeling apologetic to our kids?
Sometimes,
I wonder if this is really necessary.
I don't even know if I really want to do this.
But I feel like I won't be able to do anything if I give up.
That's why I'm barely holding out.
I know. Holding out won't solve the problem.
But...
I just can't think of any other ways.
This is all that I've achieved...
by putting effort throughout the years of my 20s.
So how can I give up?
I worked part-time and studied all my years in college...
to get a job.
I barely managed to get employed and put all my might to survive.
If I give up here,
all those times of my suffering will...
vanish into thin air.
But...
I might disappear along with it.
I'm so scared.
It's so precious to live as the mom of our children.
But...
I want to live my life...
as Song Mi Na as well.
Is it too selfish of me?
No.
Don't cry.
It's okay.
(A couple must be honest toward each other.)
What's important is,
you don't have to tell your spouse everything,
but you have to be able to tell them everything.
All right, ladies and gentlemen.
Let me ask how honest you are toward each other.
Let me ask the Vice President.
Are you honest with your wife, sir?
I'm trying my best for it.
I know everything about him even if he tells me.
If you live with your spouse for a long time,
it becomes hard to hide anything from each other, you know.
That's right.
Then this time,
I'll ask a question to the youngest couple here.
There they are. Mr. Park Sung Jun.
What do you say?
Can you share everything with your wife?
I see.
I'll stop here for the sake of this couple.
Ten Commandments for Married Couples, number three.
You should not raise your voice at each other.
This one is tricky. You easily get worked up at each other.
It's hard not to raise your voice.
That's right.
Yes, I'm sure.
(Reception for Executives' Families)
Ms. Na.
I've heard a lot about you.
Most of them were compliments.
I will be needing...
help from competent people.
I'll keep my eyes on you.
Thank you.
Done.
It's yummy.
It's way better than Dad's cooking.
Are you happy that I made a snack for you?
- Yes. - Yes.
Should I do this every day?
Mom.
Is our family going bankrupt?
- Really? - What?
What are you talking about?
It's okay to eat.
It tasted just fine to me.
Son.
Should I...
quit working and be a homemaker?
- Dad. - Yes?
Is our family going bankrupt?
Why would we go bankrupt?
You need to make money.
But your mom makes money too.
You want...
your mom to be a homemaker, so why wouldn't you want me to?
Because she's my mom.
If you were a homemaker,
my friends would tease me for it.
And your food isn't tasty either.
You know,
being a mom is such a tough job.
When I got married,
I promised that I'd protect your mom.
But it happened to be...
that she was protecting us, and she's too tired now.
Will Mom die?
Why are you so extreme?
That's not what I mean.
Mom is working and also taking care of you,
so she's trying very hard.
That's why we should be nice to her.
Okay?
I'm going to tell you something important, as man to man.
Being a dad is...
a really tough job.
If you quit your job,
will we be poor?
No, we'll be fine. Let's eat.
Oh, dear.
- Are you okay? - It's fine.
Let me see.
It's an announcement for our team about personnel appointments.
What?
(Announcement of personnel appointments)
(Ha Yu Ri is promoted to manager of the Prestige team.)
What is this?
Wow, it's Manager Ha Yu Ri now!
So she's part of the Ha family?
What is the Prestige team?
I heard they're going to manage only Black Diamond clients.
Then what happens to the VIP team?
For Pete's sake...
I can't stand this anymore.
(Announcement of personnel appointments)
It's the announcement of personnel appointment.
I think the Vice President worked things out...
before the shareholders' meeting.
So he's making the team with the most sales and taking it.
Congratulations.
You're on a roll.
Yes, thank you.
Your father promoted you to a manager position,
but I wonder how you'll take her place.
Goodbye, sir.
Mr. Cha!
We're going to have a drink. Do you want to join us?
- Let's go. - Okay. Go!
Aren't you angry? They must be out of their minds!
This has to be a joke.
What do you think, Ms. Lee?
She's a manager like you, starting from today.
How's the VIP team doing these days?
Well,
it's the company's decision, so we can't do anything about it.
Mr. Cha, look...
This is our situation.
If this is the VIP team,
our sales are worth...
about 60 percent of the company's sales, you know.
It's like the Pareto principle.
But what's Black Diamond?
They're the top 999 customers,
and this group is very important to the company.
The sales of these 999 people are...
worth about 70 percent of this share.
Doesn't it mean the VIP team will be useless without these customers?
My goodness.
It's the innocent people that suffer during a war.
The people in the VIP team are...
being pushed away with nowhere to go.
I can't believe Mr. Park let this happen.
I trusted him.
Ms. Lee,
are you okay these days?
I'm fine.
Did you see that woman?
She's the whistle-blower.
What?
Is she drinking with a man?
After ruining our company's image?
I know!
If I were in her position, I would lay low for a while.
How dare they!
I'm sorry.
Were we too loud?
No.
It seemed that you were talking about us.
I was worried that we were annoying you.
- It's that... - If you have anything to say...
don't talk behind our backs but tell us.
If you don't, it might lead to a misunderstanding.
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'd be appreciated.
That was nice, Mr. Cha.
Nice job!
Do you have to stand in line for the bathroom?
No, it's okay.
I'll be back.
Did you take a shower?
You know...
getting away from home can...
be quite nice sometimes.
After sleeping in a bed without you,
and now I have you back here..
It's so nice to see you that I'm like a newlywed husband.
Maybe I should do that when the time is right.
Right, I went too far.
I should have stopped just ago.
That's the problem these days, I talk too much.
Here.
What's this?
Open it.
Did you buy it?
Young Jun bought it. I'm joking, I bought it.
I know your feet swell often,
and it's hard to walk around with high heels.
Thank you.
These are just shoes.
Wear them!
No, I'll do it.
Give me those.
Put up your left foot.
Did you only wash your hair?
It's a joke.
They fit perfectly! I was worried about the size.
Honey.
Should I quit my job?
Is it because of that incident?
It's just...
Young Jun is going to elementary school soon,
and this one will be born soon...
We will need more money from now on,
so you shouldn't be the only one to work.
You can do whatever you want.
I know it's hard for you.
Whatever happens,
you should put yourself first.
We won't starve.
These shoes look amazing. I wonder who bought them?
Don't wear them in the rain. They'll be ruined.
I think I drank too much.
Let me go to the bathroom one more time.
Cheers.
The unwelcomed guest is going home.
Ms. Kang sent me a text saying she's going home.
I see.
Why don't we get up now?
Sure. Let's go.
Will you walk...
to sober up?
I never thought I was a poor talker.
But it's strangely difficult.
I told you...
to just...
be comfortable.
Right.
I want to be.
I'm thankful to you.
I pretend to be tough,
but I'm barely holding on, actually.
"I wanted to cheer you up."
What you told me that time did...
cheer me up.
That's a relief.
I was of help at least a little bit.
I meant it.
You're having a hard time.
I'm not sure if you'd want to,
but you can always call me if you need me.
But I'm also not sure if I'd be useful.
I had fun today.
Let's have a drink again soon.
Yes. Absolutely!
Yes.
All right.
Was Ms. Song in charge of alliance with Diaclaro restaurant?
Ms. On is in charge of...
Ms. Ha is in charge of it.
Ms. Ha has been appointed to the Prestige team.
- Ms. Song, you'll... - I'll complete the work.
It's in the final stage,
so I think that will be better...
than changing the person in charge.
Their visit has been changed to today.
You'll be moving with the PR team, so get ready.
Yes.
Mr. Ma, you can check with the management planning team...
if they reviewed the contract.
Okay.
Isn't that Mr. Park?
What's your business here, Mr. Park?
Starting with this one,
the marketing team will be in charge of partner contracts.
I know that the marketing team doesn't have the authority...
to make a unilateral decision without prior consultation.
It was approved by Vice President.
Mr. Park! I'm sorry.
I apologize.
I went the wrong way.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E26 'VIP' "Jung Sun's Counterstrategy" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
What's the maximum seating capacity of this restaurant?
We can have 30 customers at most.
What's the age group of your usual customer base?
We see a variety of age groups.
Hello.
I heard you have the rooftop open for business.
Yes, it's currently closed since it's the winter.
We open the rooftop from summer to fall.
May I take a look?
- You can open the doors with this. - I appreciate it.
I didn't plan to.
I've always wanted to kill myself since my mom got sick.
I know my life was tough,
but I couldn't find meaning in enduring all of it.
I lived on because of my mom,
but sometimes,
I wanted to be selfish and kill myself.
But I met Mr. Park,
and I found meaning in life.
It was the first time...
that I felt relieved to be alive.
That's why I was desperate.
I know it's inexcusable,
but that's why I did it.
You're right.
It's inexcusable.
Don't find meaning in something like that.
Those things can be crumbled so easily, it's absurd.
You don't know when someone like you will...
show up in front of Sung Jun.
Yes, Ms. Na.
The door's locked?
Yes.
So tell one of the employees to open it.
Yes, I'm coming now.
I'm sorry. The sensor must have failed.
I think we should call the security company.
If you call them,
how long will it take?
It'll take about 20 to 30 minutes.
It must be cold up there.
I hope they get here soon.
Stop trying to look so pitiful and come over here.
- Are you okay? - I'm okay. Thank you.
I'll take Mr. Park's car.
Did you have to behave like that there?
Your wife was all rained too.
I get that you're blinded because of that woman,
but that was just impersonal.
Someone said...
it's better to be wicked all the way than to be ambiguous.
It's better for her...
that I make things clear.
Drink some of this.
Will you...
stay with me tonight?
I will.
Ms. Na Jung Sun of the VIP team is here to see you.
- Let her in. - Yes, ma'am.
Have a seat.
What is this?
(New Project Proposal for Prestige Team, The Black Society)
"The Black Society".
As you already know,
the vice president created the Prestige team...
to have the results from the VIPs under his control.
So,
you're suggesting we create the highest rank of VIPs...
and give Jae Woong a blow?
This is amusing.
I like it.
Is this your way of taking revenge on Mr. Park?
When you're in a position like mine, people become your ears.
Do you want to use me against him?
I will be of help to you.
You will need a task force.
About the VIP team,
its head position is currently vacant.
Appoint Ms. Na Jung Sun as the head.
"The Black Society".
The Black Society.
Only 99 of our current VIPs will...
be selected to be part...
of this top, VVIP group.
We will provide them...
a platform that enables...
personal interchanges alongside product purchases.
It will be a social club for the highest class.
It's good for our department store as long as they spend a lot.
Why must we consider...
their social class and reputation?
If we divide VIP classes according to other criteria...
instead of their purchase amount,
we will face a huge backlash of the existing VIPs.
Not being able to become a member even after spending money,
our preferred customers might withdraw.
Or VIPs of other department stores could flow in to be part of it.
The key point of this system is...
that customers cannot be a member with money only.
Exclusivity.
We will give them...
a message that they are more special.
If then, it better be something extraordinary.
Exactly.
That being said,
I'd like to make a task force to come up with rules...
for service and member selection of The Black Society.
And I'm suggesting...
the collaboration of the VIP team...
that has been in charge of managing our VIPs...
and the Prestige team, the new team of Marketing Department.
What task force all of a sudden?
They practically want us to compete against each other.
As of today,
we will be working together in the same task force.
Let's do a good job.
I'll be your support, Ms. Na.
If Ms. Na keeps behaving this way, I won't be easy on her anymore.
What is the condition of your future spouse?
A warm-hearted and nice person.
You've quickly become part of that world.
You don't know what you've lost.
Don't you think Sang Woo is interested in Ms. Na?
Mr. Park and On Yu Ri will go down.
I want them to be as unhappy as possible.
I might end up attacking you.
You're already at it, and I'll gladly do the same.
