I'll be Haesan's...
representative of creditors.
You've made the right choice.
Set up the creditor's committee right away.
I have a condition, however.
A condition?
I want to make a physical inspection before becoming a representative.
I believe that a voluntary agreement is made between Haesan and us...
allowing us to make an inspection before establishing the committee.
Why do you want...
to do that?
There's no reason to quit my auditor position if I can't save Haesan.
I will first check if it's a company that can be saved or not.
Also, if I just set up the creditor's committee...
some creditors might try to retrieve...
their funds thinking that Haesan has fallen into default.
That's a valid point.
Okay.
You may make a physical inspection...
first.
And I want...
all of my former teammates back in the team.
I can't make an inspection of the entire company alone.
Okay.
I'll ask Vice-president Han...
to take care of that.
One thing, Auditor No.
I'll give you two weeks to make the inspection.
You must finish the inspection in two weeks.
To save a company, you have to have the right timing.
Okay.
Then I'll contact the banks that will take part in the committee...
and Haesan, which you will be...
inspecting.
It wasn't too long ago...
but I feel like a stranger here.
Me too.
I missed your touches.
Either way, it feels good to be back together.
Hello, Mr. No!
Don't mess with me.
But why did the bank assign us to different teams...
and put us back together?
I'm not sure.
- Hello, Mr. No. - I told you to not mess with me.
Who's messing with you, Mr. Seo?
- Hello, Mr. No. - Is everyone doing good?
Yes, sir.
Let me get straight to the point.
We'll be making a physical inspection of Haesan from today on.
Haesan? Why all of a sudden?
I'll explain that on the way.
(Haesan Group Main Office)
Wow, it's huge.
It's probably because all of its affiliates are here.
Gongju doesn't have a building like this, no?
Don't be annoying.
Gongju has everything it needs.
Let's go in.
Hello, you must be Auditor No from Daehan Bank.
Yes.
I'm General Manager Na Dae Oh from Haesan's General Affairs Team.
Nice to meet you.
By the way, we have the same name.
Huh? Ah, I'm Na Dae Oh and...
you are No Dae Ho.
Dae 'Oh', Dae 'Ho'.
Ah, I see.
Oh 'No,' I was wrong.
I am looking forward to work with you.
You too.
Please place your bags for security check.
The security here is really tight.
They are more thorough than a bank.
We are taking extra care on the security as...
all the affiliates are gathered here.
Please be understanding.
Ah, and your temporary office is ready...
on the fifth floor.
The inspectors from Daehan Bank have arrived.
See yourself.
This is what your reckless acts brought about.
It will be okay.
"It will be okay"?
I've told you already.
Can't you see how much market value we've lost?
Isn't it obvious that sometimes...
stock prices fall or rise?
That happens to stocks.
But what are you going to do with the other problem?
Do you think you are capable of resolving it?
What other problem?
Haesan Chemical?
Why do I have to resolve that?
That's for my distinguished brother and president...
of the company, and you, the group owner, to resolve.
What?
Do you mean what you are saying?
Father. Do you think I haven't noticed your one-sided support...
for my brother?
Learn management from my brother?
Have you already forgotten how many companies he made...
go bankrupt?
At least I made...
Haesan Construction grow this much despite being low profile.
What?
You wouldn't have gotten this far without the support of the group.
You won't be able to keep your...
current position if this case goes wrong.
- Father... - At work, I'm the CEO!
Okay then, CEO Jo.
Do as you please.
Haesan Construction is...
no longer a company which you can easily...
play with.
What the...
How dare you!
Please feel free to ask me if you need anything.
CEO Jo gave me special instructions to cooperate with you.
Yes.
We can't be here for too long...
so we've asked you for...
financial documents on our way here.
We're working on them.
I'll bring them once they are ready.
I'll ask you to get them ready soon, Mr. Na.
Ah, yes.
One thing is that...
you've requested the data for the affiliates as well...
and they are each demanding...
for the reason why.
It's because when the net worth of a company exceeds 5 billion dollars...
it is prohibited to make a cross guarantee.
But Haesan made cross-guarantees with its affiliates...
despite exceeding 20 billion dollars.
In such a case, the affiliates will also have...
huge impact if something was to happen to Haesan.
So it would be pointless to make an inspection...
without these financial data.
I see.
I'll do my best to get them ready as well.
Thank you.
(Meeting Room 1)
You've heard it.
Please get the documents from the affiliates ready.
The affiliates?
Don't make me laugh.
We're trying to delay the financial documents from the affiliates.
What are you saying?
Give all the documents requested by the inspectors.
Don't give them any pretexts.
We can't do anything if they establish the creditor's committee.
We have to stop them here.
I apologize, sir.
I'll do as you say.
Report to me immediately...
if anything happens.
Yes, sir.
I have one of my men staying with them at all times.
Are you sure that this No Dae Ho assigned by Kang Sam Do...
doesn't have a good relationship with the president...
in reality?
Yes, according to what we investigated.
Sending someone with no mutual trust.
They're sure trying to subdue us.
Sorry? Then is this all just a show?
I'm sorry.
Maybe...
if he has the slightest intention to...
dismember Haesan...
then the inspectors are...
just Daehan Bank's puppets.
Have the financial department to monitor the cash flow for 24/7...
and report to me immediately if you see anything unusual.
Are you asking me to check on Daehan Bank?
All the financial institutions that work with us.
Yes, sir.
What are you plotting, Kang Sam Do.
China?
Really?
Yes.
So proceed with discretion...
behind the curtains.
But it's not even a few hours since Auditor No left for Haesan.
Everything should be prepared in advance...
in order to make the best choice.
It would be good if Auditor No left.
Then offering him the next presidential position...
I did say that only if he could...
save Haesan.
Did you...
believe that, Ms. Han?
No.
It was too shocking...
to believe.
It was shocking.
No matter how much I think it over...
Auditor No, as a manager...
Does that mean that you will be establishing...
a creditor's committee regardless of the inspection?
Yes. I'm planning to induce restructuring.
The justification would be that it has a high debt ratio...
compared to other companies.
I looked over and...
found out that Haesan's main fields...
involve quite a few areas that would interest China.
If I can make sales there,
then we will be able to retrieve most of the loan...
without the allowance for bad debt.
But the first insolvency was too intentional...
And they wouldn't make...
the same mistake twice.
Myeongseong Bank would hold...
the purse strings this time.
Haesan's CEO Jo has significantly reduced...
the profit of his main affiliates with a forced transfer...
of management.
It's beneficial for everyone...
to put a brake on them...
before it's too late.
- Then Auditor No... - Auditor No...
will lose his ties with Daehan Bank...
the moment he says that he can save Haesan.
He must resign his auditor position in order to represent the creditors.
Don't forget this, Ms. Han.
The day Auditor No says that he can save Haesan...
will be the last day...
for Auditor No.
We might have to inspect the site.
In such a case, who among us would...
Not again...
- Of course it's Seo Bo Geol. - Mr. No!
He can be quite careless so...
help him out, Ms. Jang.
I'm going with him?
Yes, sir.
As long as Ms. Jang will be accompanying me.
Wouldn't it be better for me to go with...
Mr. Seo rather than Ms. Jang?
Hey, shut up.
There's something that you should check with me.
Okay.
- It's settled, then. - Yes.
How about we eat first since we don't even have the data yet?
That's a good idea.
- It's actually almost lunchtime. - Should we then?
It's lunchtime.
In fact, we were about to head to the cafeteria.
Why don't you come with us?
The cafeteria is very nice.
Yes.
It's a cafeteria used by all the employees...
in Haesan group.
One of our affiliates,
Haesan Food System, is in charge.
I see.
Mr. Na, you must have been working here for a long time.
Yes.
This will be my 30th year.
You started working here even before I was born?
Is that so?
Back then, we didn't have a nice cafeteria such as this.
I even stepped on a nail while working...
on open storage without safety boots and got infections.
Were you also in the General Affairs Team back then?
No.
There was a Management Team back then.
That was the first team I was assigned to in Haesan.
Management Team? There was such team?
Yes.
I shipped out products made by Haesan to overseas.
Sometimes I had to load the products...
overnight on a container.
You didn't load them yourself, did you?
No, we did load all of them ourselves.
There was this one time right before...
the Thanksgiving holidays when 20 of...
40 feet containers were waiting outside.
We couldn't fit them all inside, so they had to stay on the roads.
And you loaded all of them?
Then when do you go home?
We worked for days and nights so that...
we wouldn't miss the ship.
It was the last day of Thanksgiving holidays when we were finished.
You never went home?
No, I did.
On the last day of the holidays.
But I bet you got a huge bonus.
There was no bonus, but...
our hard work made the company grow this much.
I'm also living off the salary I make here and...
all my kids have finished school.
Where else could I get a better bonus?
A lot of the younger people are struggling to find...
a job nowadays. Looking at them makes me feel bad.
The old car should be replaced soon.
Don't say such things.
Now that I see, you are the living witness of this company.
It's impressive.
No, it's actually not the case.
I'm sorry to say this to you, Mr. No.
But I don't want to get compliments from someone from a bank.
What do you mean?
You must know that the company has been struggling recently.
The employees here have worked to achieve this...
over the span of a few years or a few decades just like me.
But to have a few bankers come in as if it was a market...
and decide whether to revive the company or not seems unfair to me.
I don't want to believe it,
but some employees say that you are here to see what would be...
worth money when selling this company.
Mr. Na,
- that's not true. - In the end,
you follow the orders of the bank, Mr. No.
I know very well that in an organization you...
must follow the order.
Yes, but...
I don't want you to be too negative about me.
Is that so?
I'm sorry to say such things in the middle of a meal.
I have a small appetite so I'll get going first.
Wait...
Why did he turn like that all of a sudden?
He must think that we are some sort of occupation forces.
Right.
He must be down to see that the bank has come to make an inspection.
He has worked for 30 years, after all.
He must have strong attachments.
We are bearing heavy burdens.
Don't take General Manager Na's words lightly.
Why?
What?
Daehan Bank is requesting for financial documents?
Yes.
It's not just us, but...
they are checking all the other affiliates.
Then wait for my confirmation...
before you send the documents...
to those scraps from Daehan.
- Is that clear? - Yes, sir.
Hyun Gwon?
Did something happen at the company?
Don't you dare lay a finger on Haesan Construction.
I won't stay still.
I'm planning to induce restructuring.
I looked over and found out that Haesan's main fields...
involve quite a few areas...
that would interest China.
Ms. Han, you are on line with the Chinese side.
It's been so long, Huirin. Has it been 3 years since we met...
at Shanghai? How are you doing?
I heard that you are now a vice-president, Soo Ji.
It's a bit late, but congratulations!
Thank you. I have a favor to ask you.
Sure. What is it?
I need private equity interested in taking over a Korean company.
Private equity? There's one on sale? What do they do?
Their main fields are in machines and plants, heavy chemical, etc.
The size?
I can't tell you the size as it may expose the company. Sorry.
There is a high interest in Korean companies...
due to trade barriers in America.
They are looking for ways to do trade circumvention.
Then it wouldn't be too difficult to find a purchaser.
Well, that would depend on the commission you pay me.
Okay, I'll email you the contract so get back to me after checking it.
Okay, Soo Ji. See you in Seoul soon!
Sure. Thank you.
[Kocowa Ver] MBC E23 'The Banker' "Auditor Noh Goes to Haesan Group" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Is this all necessary?
This is the last one.
I did all the work and you are taking the credit?
We have all the documents with Haesan Construction being the last.
Attention, everyone.
For our inspection,
we will start with Haesan Construction.
Haesan Construction instead of the main office?
Yes, Haesan Construction.
Mr. Moon and I will be looking at...
the sales made on construction, cash flow, and related taxes.
Assets for Mr. Seo and Ms. Jang.
Focus on the fixed assets with any changes in the last few years.
Yes.
You two will be going on site starting tomorrow...
to compare the books with the actual assets to see if they match.
I've noticed earlier...
that all the affiliates of Haesan are in this building except...
Haesan Construction.
As a matter of fact, I've already asked Mr. Park.
They'll go over Haesan Construction first?
It was Haesan that gave them an excuse to start the inspection.
Yes, sir.
But they are first looking at the construction company.
Does that mean that was what they were really aiming at?
Yes, I guess so.
I should send Yang Gyoung to Kang Sam Do...
to beg him for forgiveness.
Do you think Mr. Jo will do that?
It seems like if we make him docile enough,
there won't be any problem.
You said you had a guy checking on Mr. No, right?
Yes, sir.
You should leave some room for them.
Aren't you being too harsh?
They broke the rules first.
Every game has its rules.
So, what's your plan?
Are you going to kill them all?
Are you going to remove them all?
You should cut them some slack.
The election is only a year away from now.
- Geez. - Assemblyman Jung.
Lee Hae Gon is the vice-president of our bank.
Do you know what is going to happen...
if you let them do whatever they want?
Next time,
that can be you who gets stabbed.
Just stay still.
I can't say anything.
There is no hard evidence for it.
He was on his way to meet Bae Dong Seok...
who's been handling things from the back.
And Mr. No was there too.
We should show some example with Haesan to keep them low.
- In my opinion... - Don't.
For some time,
I don't need your opinion.
Well, then...
are you going to put an end to it?
There should be an end to start something new.
Haesan has lax management and can't handle their high debt ratio.
So, they are going to end up being dismantled.
Some will be merged into domestic companies,
and some will be sold to foreign companies.
And the rest will...
go through liquidation procedure,
and will be remembered as unfortunate companies.
You came all the way here.
Don't you want to look around subsidiary companies?
I'm afraid I don't have enough time. Maybe next time.
This is a part of the inspection too.
I mean, bankers don't know much about production.
If you can't spare time to just look around,
how will you be able to inspect?
- Well, I see what you mean, but... - Come on.
Why is Mr. No here?
You should go find out.
He came here to inspect Haesan.
That's what he claims.
Find out why he has to come all the way here himself?
Even if he has another intention, I don't think he'll tell me.
And he just stays at his office all day.
I can barely talk to him except for meal time.
Then get him out of his office.
Sorry?
This is one of Haesan's main fields, the plant business department.
They account for 10 percent of total sales.
- They are working so hard. - Yes.
They are too busy to worry about the inspection now.
They just work so hard.
Anything else?
The financial team confirmed this sales projection.
And we'll fix the schedule to the contract date.
Good job.
- Huh? - Is something wrong?
- Where is the transfer document? - I made a separate file for it.
Oh, you're pretty good.
Thank you.
Yes, Seo Bo Geol.
Mr. No, the local headquarters was smaller than expected.
But their business office is quite big.
They store all their hard assets there.
Yes.
Yes, so we're heading there now.
Yes, Mr. No.
Do you want to drink something?
No, we should go now.
By the way, Mr. Park goes to the bathroom quite often.
What takes him so long?
I thought he was peeing.
Oh, there he comes.
Sorry, I'm late.
- Where should we go next? - Let's go here first.
Let's go.
Okay.
You're busy as well.
Not as much as they are.
It seems like they just got a big order.
Yes, I think it went really well.
- Did you get everything? - Yes, sir.
- You should come down with me. - Me?
Of course, you are the hands-on staff.
I can't answer their questions without you.
Okay.
I'm glad I listened to you and came here to see them working.
Haesan's performance is not like before,
but the employees are working so hard.
Sure.
It has been a long time since we got the last order.
And it's even turnkey.
I didn't know that you could surprise me like this.
I just followed your orders.
Hi, Mr. CFO.
This is Auditor No Dae Ho. He's here for the inspection.
It's nice to meet you, Mr. No.
Do you see this?
The employees are working so hard like this.
Yes, I see.
How much do we estimate for the order?
It's 175 million dollars.
175 million dollars.
From just one order.
I should get going now.
I'll report it myself.
You don't have to follow me.
He's on the phone right now. Can you wait for a second, please?
Let him know I'm here as soon as he's through.
Yes, Mr. Vice-president.
Should I come in too?
What for?
- I can go in alone. - Okay.
You may go in now, sir.
We're not doing this.
Sorry?
We've tried for six months and executed an MOU.
You should at least tell me what happened.
Just do what I say.
This is nothing new anyway.
Don't blame it on me.
- I was just told not to do this. - What?
- Are you kidding me? - What?
Do you think that's appropriate to your boss?
Mr. Manager.
He said the market is unstable.
If we lose any money,
then it's all on him.
We both know why they do this.
I'm so sick and tired of this.
Watch your mouth.
I don't want to get fired.
No wonder the bank sends an auditor to inspect us.
And they still blow this turnkey order.
I don't think you can stay here longer.
You should just relax today.
Just go now.
(Episode 24 will air shortly.)
How did it go?
(Episode 24)
We had a deal with a private equity fund...
that will take over their company as soon as it's on the market.
Now, we only have to decide...
if it would be better for us to sell it as a whole,
or as several units separated by major departments.
What about the labor union?
About that...
I think we should make them fight each other.
Even though they do the same work,
regular workers get twice as much...
as non-regular workers.
So, if we just spill their salary slip...
at the right time,
the tension will rise among them.
So the disposal issue will naturally be buried.
I see.
- What else? - If we sell it abroad,
there might be some issues about technology leakages.
So we will have domestic groups join the tender,
- just as a formality. - Well done.
Now, we only have...
to wait for Mr. No.
Is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
These documents from Haesan Construction Company...
don't really make sense.
I think they omitted something on purpose.
On purpose?
Mr. Moon.
Can you check on the registration of all areas of D1 plan?
I need to know about the real owners of those areas.
Are you saying...
that Haesan Construction Company has something to do with D1 plan?
- Is that why you inspect this one? - Yes.
I think Haesan has quite a lot of subsidiary companies...
beneath the surface.
It's just so different from other companies...
with similar amounts of asset.
And there's a high proportion of cash transactions.
Well,
isn't that because...
they pay their workers in cash on the construction site?
Yes, it is by all appearances.
But they subcontract most of their constructions.
This is quite a lot of cash transactions.
I think they must have some troubles with the main bank.
I heard some weird rumors.
They say Haesan might be dismantled...
after their first insolvency.
And before long, this group will completely disappear.
Who says that?
There have been rumors among foreign private equities...
that there will be a Korean company on the market...
focusing in machinery, plant and heavy chemical industry.
Isn't that Haesan?
They are trying to dismantle it for their desire for power.
Not a chance.
There are thousands of regular workers who get paid from Haesan.
And the same number of non-regular workers too.
If they make that happened especially in this economy,
the media won't leave them alone.
I'm quite anxious about it.
Do you think my nominal trust on Haesan will be fine?
Don't be weak.
Why do you think I paid them?
The one gives the money is the boss.
Not the one who receives it.
Also, we're not to blame for the cash delivery incident.
That auditor No Dae Ho was...
that sly fox Mr. Kang's move...
to win the power game in their bank.
What if you get hurt too?
No,
I won't.
I've got a backup plan.
A backup plan?
Geez, be careful! Someone's busy here.
I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
- Let me help you. - I'm so sorry.
Let me clean it.
You don't have to help me. I'm so sorry.
- Mr. No. - Yes.
There is a strange company under Haesan group.
A strange company?
Their assets increased by more than 10 times in a day,
so I double checked but it wasn't a mistake at all.
That can't be possible.
- I think you made a mistake. - No, take a look.
(Haesan Chemical)
Haesan Chemical?
They changed their accounting standards,
and changed their assets quality...
from book value to market value.
Strange, huh?
Are they planning on M&A,
since their assets have increased?
What does that mean?
The major stockholder of this one is the first son of Haesan group.
If they enlarge their company and merge with their parent company,
Haesan Chemical will have a decided advantage...
in the ratio of the merger.
Oh, so it was kind of his plan to win.
Yes, and I overheard the other day...
that some employees got a really big order,
but management didn't approve it and they just canceled it.
I think they are trying to keep their performance poor on purpose.
It's because Haesan Chemical can take advantage of it,
when the size of Haesan group is diminished.
Really?
Haesan is playing a really dangerous game here.
I wonder if they put the company and their employees in danger...
just for the succession.
- Hi. - Oh.
Thank you for this morning.
I know this isn't much, but...
Oh, thank you so much.
- Have a nice day. - You too.
Who's that?
She's one of many employees...
who are keeping this company running.
I think the only reason Haesan didn't go broke so far is...
because of those people who are working so hard,
having a sense of ownership.
Including Mr. Na.
But he blatantly hates bankers.
It's only because he cares for this company so much.
He's just worried if we might do any harm to their company.
It means he loves his company that much.
Someday, he'll know...
that we came here to save this company.
How can I help you?
- We're from Daehan Bank. - Daehan Bank?
I didn't get any notice before. Can you wait for a second?
Let me go check on it.
Is this the last spot for Haesan site inspection?
I guess so.
I understand that they are not in the same building,
but why do they have to spread apart like this?
It's a construction company. They know what they're doing.
Geez.
(Haesan Construction Company)
What do you want to inspect?
We just want to check the facility and materials on the ledger.
Materials?
What construction company stores materials in their office?
Really? That's weird.
It says on the ledger that you have so many materials.
Just wait.
- Mr. President, there are... - Oh, I guess it's this.
(Construction material storage)
- What happened? - They just came here.
Who are you?
I'm the Section Chief here.
Oh, Mr. Section Chief.
Can you put these boxes down with this forklift?
With a forklift?
What is this?
Can I open it?
What?
Oh, thank you.
Let me check the inside.
Wait, why do you check the inside?
Excuse me.
Is something wrong?
Their tax is different from what they wrote on the ledger,
corporate tax to business profits.
Compared to other construction companies,
they have real estate for non-business use.
They should pay a lot of taxes in this case.
I applied these documents...
to the construction field.
And?
On D1 areas,
there are some areas owned by an unknown corporation.
And their tax amount is quite similar to this one.
So, all of these unknown real estates are...
...related to Haesan group in some way.
Yang Gyoung was doing that kind of thing?
- It is not confirmed yet. - I was wondering...
what they had in common with Daehan Bank.
Now I kind of get it.
And Mr. No has his eye on Haesan Chemical as well.
What?
Both of my sons are on his radar?
So, No Dae Ho and Kang Sam Do are enemies.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Call the COOs in.
And schedule a dinner appointment with No Dae Ho.
I thought he was a puppet,
but he's actually a tiger cub.
Now that I see it,
Kang Sam Do has sent No Dae Ho...
to get rid of him along with Haesan.
- How may I help you? - The chairman wishes to see you.
- The chairman? - Yes.
Are you booked up?
I don't have any special plan,
but wouldn't it look strange...
to see the chairman in a situation like this?
It's nothing more or less than just dinner.
He wishes to have dinner with you. That's all.
I'll take that as a yes. Excuse me.
- Will it be all right? - I'm not sure.
Wrap it up and leave work now.
No, I'll stay a little longer.
Okay.
Tell Mr. Seo to go straight home...
instead of coming to the office when he's done with his work.
Yes, sir.
Do not say anything,
and come quietly to the emergency stairs.

That was just too much.
How is an empty box inventory?
They're dead meat.
I'll tell on them to Auditor No when we get back to the office.
Mr. Moon just texted me.
- We can go straight home. - What?
Why are we free to go on a day like this?
That's great. I have to go somewhere too.
Should we part ways here then?
Good work today, everyone.
Are you serious?
We should have a drink on a day like this.
You know I have to drive. I can't drink.
- I have plans too. - What's with you all?
I can tell there's something going on.
Mr. Park acted very unusual today.
What is this?
Nice to meet you, sir.
It's good to see you, Auditor No.
I've only run my own companies,
so I have no experience working for others.
So I'm straightforward...
and always poor at being considerate.
Besides, in my whole life,
I've never bowed to anyone.
What...
Welcome. How may I help you, sir?
Well...
I'm having trouble urinating these days.
- I hear you have something nice. - You came to the right place.
Take a look at this product.
Be strong, strong!
My gut feeling is always right.
What is this, Mr. Park?
Take a look at this, sir.
This just started to spread.
"The Four..."
"behind the scene."
"Powerful authority exists..."
"behind the scene. I've decided..."
"to call them The Four."
"C, J,"
"K, P."
- How do you want me to handle it? - Gossip...
can be covered with another gossip.
Yes, sir.
Figure out the source precisely and quickly.
Schedule a meeting.
Stop playing auditor...
and come to me.
Pardon?
What did you just say?
Come to me.
I'll offer you...
10 times your salary.
Don't be surprised. They aren't filled with money.
They're the letters of resignation...
which I got from the COOs at the last meeting.
If you pick any one of Haesan's subsidiaries,
I'll accept the corresponding COO's resignation letter...
and appoint you...
the COO of that company right away.
Like you said earlier,
you're very straightforward.
I never talk empty.
I don't know what you think,
but Haesan is faced with the biggest crisis...
in its entire history.
All the banks...
are aligning with Kang Sam Do's scheme.
It means Haesan is short on funds.
If that's the case,
I'm afraid I'll be of no help since I've never run any company.
Besides, the company is short on funds.
- Why would I join it? - This is...
not about business management or funds.
- Both you and I know. - No.
- I don't know. - According to my source,
you and Kang Sam Do are enemies.
- I doubt that. - I'm sure...
his plan is to get rid of...
Haesan as well as you...
in one go.
I thought you were a pushover at first.
But seeing your moves a few days,
I realized you were the opposite.
You're a tiger.
A large one.
He sent someone like you here,
and it means...
you know Kang Sam Do's weakness.
- You're mistaken. - No.
I'm right.
Also, do you know...
that Kang Sam Do caused Haesan's first insolvency?
- That I didn't know. - Soon,
other banks will get involved.
There will be no stopping then...
because I won't know when and how...
they'll attack.
And there's one more. He could've waited,
formed a group of creditors,
and gone with a work-out, court receivership, or liquidation.
But he sent you here first.
That means...
he's going to put the blame...
on you later in the future.
Did you know that?
I was the one...
who suggested the inspection.
I'm not sure of the reason,
but you're his eyesore.
So you should...
get out of there soon.
And share his weakness...
with me.
I'm a bit stunned.
Do you mind if I go to the bathroom...
and give you an answer after I come back?
Yes, sir.
Did you leave work?
No, I'm going to leave a little while later.
- Is something up? - Oh, then...
take the Haesan files we went over together...
and get out of there immediately.
- This is urgent. - Yes, sir.
Be honest with me.
What is it that you really want from me?
I'm a businessman.
If you decide to work for me,
you'll stop digging into...
Haesan Construction and its subsidiaries.
Naturally,
I will get to protect my two sons.
And as a bonus, I'll get to hold...
a leverage on Kang Sam Do.
Wait.
Can you open your bag for a second?
What's the matter?
You have an item that can't be taken outside.
We found the banned item from your belongings,
so we must inspect your laptop and phone.
- Do you agree? - You'll inspect me?
Did you stand up...
to reject my offer?
No.
I knew it.
Do you accept my offer?
- No, sir. - What?
Are you trying to play on words with me?
I never thought it was an offer,
so there's nothing to reject.
What?
We deleted everything that was created since your day of entrance.
You get rid of your employees without any special reason.
Do you want me to join your company?
Your attitude makes me furious.
- What? - I think...
companies full of corruption must go down as soon as possible.
It goes the same even for Daehan Bank.
Please save Haesan, Auditor No.
What are you doing, Mr. Na?
You know well...
that the current executives have no hope.
You know the chairman is reducing the company...
to half the size so that he could give it to his children.
Pardon?
To be honest, I don't like banks.
All this mess happened because...
you're suddenly collecting the five million dollars.
But the ones who ruined this company...
enough to be shaken by that much amount of money...
are the incompetent executives...
who care only about filling themselves.
Is it true...
that Haesan continuously lowered...
its sales and assets on purpose...
to bring up the ratio of merger?
Right.
What's more,
his son's company is thriving.
- You mean, Haesan Chemical? - Yes.
This isn't right.
I devoted all my youth to this company.
They can't do this.
Thousands of employees...
aren't their slaves.
But...
I did find a small piece of hope.
It's the employees here.
The virtuous employees...
who bow to you and serve you as their chairman...
despite all your vices.
If there's one reason...
that Haesan should survive,
it's those people.
I enjoyed the dinner.
I'm the auditor of Daehan Bank yet.
So I'll pay for my share.
What...
Hand it over.
- What? - I just heard from Hyun Ah.
Your insurance.
I can't.
- That's my last resort. - Let me tell you something.
No Dae Ho focused on researching...
Haesan Construction's files.
Thanks to your dad,
all the data was taken away by security.
The longer you take,
the more disadvantageous for you.
I don't have much time,
- so let's make it short. - I'm sure you don't.
I don't intend...
to stay here for a long time either.
That's good. What is it?
- What is this? - It's the data...
for bribes offered in the past.
Look.
We don't take dirty money...
that could cause any trouble later.
Did I...
take any money from you?
This place is filled with money as is.
Of course.
I don't have any more to say.
Was it Professor Choi?
Don't tell me...
it's Choi Jong Soo,
the vice chairman of the National Economy Advisory Council.
who's said to be able to meet the President any time he wants.
I don't know how you launder your money,
but not Professor Choi.
If rumors start spreading that he takes bribes,
it'll become a huge issue.
Professor Choi and Daehan Bank...
have nothing to do with each other.
Kang Sam Do.
I know it's true.
Whether officially or unofficially,
Daehan Bank and Professor Choi...
have nothing to do with each other.
If you ever...
mention his name again,
that'll be the end of Haesan.
Do you understand?
I do.
And a tabloid is going around the financial circles.
Find it,
- and get rid of it. - It's not us.
If I tell you to do it, then you do it.
- Fine. - As of today,
Haesan won't suffer from financial problems.
Go back now.
Chairman Jo.
You better work on...
disciplining your son.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what to say to you.
I got rid of the files.
Don't worry,
and stay outside the country for some time.
I will do so.
And...
It's Secretary Kim, right?
Don't worry.
I'll take care of him well.
I'm ashamed, President Kang.
(President Kang Sam Do)
Let's begin.
For the last 10 days, the Audit Team inspected...
Haesan Construction and their subsidiaries.
Please refer to the future announcement...
regarding the inspection results.
How was it when you inspected them?
Rumors say it's only a temporary financial strain.
Is it true?
Please save Haesan, Auditor No.
So...
can Haesan be saved?
Haesan...
can be saved. No.
We must save it.
