UNDERCOVER MISS HONG

Hello.

I am Hong Jang-mi.

HONG JANG-MI

Take a seat, President Shin.

You too.

Sit.

You belong to the Risk Management Division.

What were you doing

in the Trading Division on the day of the incident?

I was assisting with the lunch deliveries in Trading.

It's difficult for traders to leave their desks

before the market closes.

Yet there was only one female employee in charge of delivering all their lunches.

Do you admit your wrongdoing?

No.

Did you intentionally cause

the order error incident?

Me?

Did your careless behavior trigger

a domino-like chain of disruption?

-Dominos? -Ms. Hong! You--

Just a moment.

Mr. So.

What happened to the investors who bought Hanye Electronics stock at that time?

The Korea Exchange mediated,

and we amicably recovered the funds from the other investment firms.

However, Onemillion Investments,

a Texas-based US firm, still remains unreachable.

What's the amount?

At the market price that day,

it came to about three billion won.

TO THE WORLD! TO THE FUTURE! HANMIN INVESTMENT & SECURITIES

Beyond the Han River, to the World! To the Future! Hanmin!

That three billion was entrusted to us by our investors.

We must recover the funds first.

I believe those funds

must be retrieved, no matter what.

Ms. Hong,

are you expressing an intent to resolve this matter by any means?

Who, me?

Mr. So, what do you say?

Both Hanmin and the Korea Exchange fell short of delivering on this.

I'm not sure how Ms. Hong will be able to accomplish such a feat.

She's clearly determined.

Secure a signed agreement for order cancellation

from Onemillion.

You want me to do that?

Hey, can you hear anything?

Good morning.

Hello, sir.

Good morning.

Hello, sir.

Hello.

Ms. Hong, how'd it go?

We heard Big Al's father shout earlier.

Let's talk back at the office. Let's go.

Don't tell me you were out here waiting for me this whole time.

We weren't.

They just kept trying to make it seem like the order error was solely on me.

That's messed up.

How wronged you must feel.

Totally.

I suggested they should be focused on retrieving the lost money first.

-Money? -What money?

The three billion that got away?

Ms. Hong.

You made quite an impressive empty promise back there.

You're hilarious.

"Hilarious"?

The responsible party flees,

and I'm about to be fired for cleaning up their mess.

Is that hilarious?

Look at you talking back with all that attitude.

Is that how you were raised?

Yes. My mom and dad taught me that.

You're the dad of two daughters, aren't you?

Do they know that you torment someone else's daughter at work?

Hey, family's off limits!

-So petty! -Come on now!

Mr. Cha, that's enough.

Mind your manners.

-But she-- -Manners!

Manners.

Thank you for calling. You've reached Risk Management.

Yes, sir.

Just a moment.

It's the president.

He's probably calling about your termination.

I'm only being this polite because I still work here.

Stop fighting.

Put him on speakerphone.

Hello, sir.

Has Ms. Hong updated you?

On what exactly?

I'm to find Onemillion Investments

and secure the order cancellation agreement.

Why?

Why would she?

Ms. Hong volunteered.

She must be insane.

And what if

she fails to secure it?

Then she will be terminated.

No, you see, what happened was…

-Forget it. -Please.

-I hope you do. -Just forget it.

And this is the last time you answer my call on speaker.

Did you call for me, sir?

You must know Ms. Hong. You live together.

"Seoul City Dormitory for Single Female Workers, Room 301."

She's your roommate.

Yes, that's right.

It's not just the two of us. There are four of us living together.

I wouldn't say we're friends.

We're not close at all.

I've been informed

that she scored the highest on the written recruitment exam.

I heard top-performing students are normally hired early

in commercial high schools.

Yes, that is normally the case.

However, it appears that Ms. Hong took a gap period

after graduation.

I'm not sure if I should be telling you this…

Please speak candidly.

If I were to share a few observations…

She's a long way from being mild-mannered, compliant,

or respectful to her seniors.

She steers clear of such qualities.

She probably failed every other interview.

Also, she lacks interpersonal skills.

She's quite stubborn,

and her fingers are a tad bit on the sticky side.

I see.

You may leave.

Yes, sir.

Why do things keep blowing up?

Why? I need to find Yehppee!

Trying to fire a minion for damage control only makes them more suspicious.

The order-entry error?

It has to be connected to the slush fund.

I'll expose the truth.

I refuse to leave until I do.

I refuse!

EPISODE 4: SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY

Was it really that difficult

to quietly set aside just three billion

while the prosecution and the FSS had their guard down?

Did I ask too much of you?

What a ruckus you've caused.

I'm sorry, sir.

I met with the CEO of Onemillion.

We agreed to delay cashing out until things quiet down.

Since I started this,

I will see it through.

HANYE ELECTRONICS 11:27

It's a simple order.

You'll be compensated handsomely for your services.

I'm sure Myeong-hwi's passing was just as upsetting for you

as it was for me.

But still, it's better to honor him with success,

not regret.

Do you plan on disappointing me?

No, sir. Please give me another chance.

That's enough.

Are you drinking booze?

Have some class. Show some dignity as the future chairman.

Watch how I drink it.

President Shin is so annoying.

He'll fire away if we can't catch the CEO of Onemillion.

What? Fire you?

Dad, have some class.

Not me.

Ms. Hong.

Hey, you make sure you stay out of this one.

Did you hear about the rumors too?

There are rumors?

There's a rumor going around

about how there was another suspicious transaction in Trading

about a year ago as well.

Keep this to yourself.

The chairman ordered Mr. So to manipulate the market…

to gather funds

to fill that slush fund reservoir slowly but surely.

So that no one can see what lies beneath the surface.

What about you?

-Have you seen it? -What?

That slush fund reservoir.

I never got a chance to.

The chairman is the only one who knows where it is.

I feel like Ms. Song might know.

I'm still about to lose one of my employees!

That's how you respond after I painstakingly explain everything?

You just have to fire one employee

for you to gain all of Hanmin Investment & Securities.

PERSONAL DETAILS

Looking into Assistant Manager Jung led to General Manager So.

That's the CEO of Onemillion next to them.

Just look at them.

You can clearly tell it's not their first meeting. Right?

I thought he was Yehppee,

but he was just a dog.

Also, the CEO of Onemillion is a total weasel.

There were so many chances to lock him up.

I'd managed to land several jabs

but never the knockout punch, so he still walks free.

But do you think he'll just sign that agreement

even if you find him?

I'll make him.

Wait, he was granted parole due to diabetes?

Yeah.

I noticed he was quite a picky eater that day.

He even has alarms set up for his medication.

I should really quit carbs and sweets too.

But I can't, thanks to a certain someone.

A certain someone?

Thanks to a certain someone, I'm wearing this uniform.

I even had to cut my hair.

Thanks to a certain someone, I'm having a pastry and milk for lunch.

Thanks to a certain someone, I'm stuck in this damn duck boat!

I'm almost 60, for goodness' sake.

I never rode one even when I was dating.

I can take this, right?

What do you think?

Showing them that will only raise suspicions.

You have to prove it using methods that would only be accessible

to the 20-year-old Hong Jang-mi.

You just have to make a lot of sense.

So Gyeong-dong is out. He's no longer a Yehppee candidate.

I can't get fired, so I'll focus on finding the CEO of Onemillion.

Find me something I can use as leverage after I catch that weasel.

Hold on. Let me write that down.

Lunch is over in ten minutes.

Turn the boat around. Hurry.

-Ten minutes? -We need to move it.

Damn it.

We've come too far from the shore.

We're going backwards! Turn around! Go!

We're too far from shore!

It's not an investment firm?

You're a supermarket?

After me, he even went and got General Affairs to sign off on it

to call overseas.

Is this not Onemillion Investments?

But he just keeps speaking in Korean.

Are you sure?

Thank you.

The listed address is in Texas,

but the number belongs to Vicky Groceries, a Korean supermarket in LA.

It seems Onemillion Investments is a shell company.

A fake address and a fake phone number,

and a Korea-born US citizen sitting in the fake CEO's seat.

It's likely that a Seoul-based market rigging pro is behind this.

-We need to find them-- -And then what?

If you scored three billion for nothing,

would you admit to it and just return it back to the sender?

That's why we must help.

Helping her won't change a thing.

I'm speaking from years of experience here.

This is a pro's work we're looking at.

Ms. Hong, don't waste your time on this. Just go and beg for your forgiveness.

But I did nothing wrong.

Sometimes you just have to suck it up!

I have no reason to beg.

That's enough.

Let's resume tomorrow.

It's six o'clock. Let's go home.

All right.

Nothing beats a drink for a headache.

-Let's go. -No thanks.

Whatever.

I'll call you when we find a place.

Damn it.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

I would prefer to stay out of it,

but you must know

the writing is on the wall with this one.

You need to just let it go without making a fuss.

Must you insist on keeping Hong Jang-mi?

Man, that's sweet.

Mr. Bang.

Yes?

You know I'm a regular at the video store across the street.

Right.

Lately,

finishing films has become impossible, and the late-fee calls keep coming.

I see.

Ever since Ms. Hong was hired,

we've been working our butts off.

-Everyone keeps asking for me. -Right.

But you know what?

I don't hate it.

Right.

Although…

I'm still just a spectator outside of the ring.

RISK MANAGEMENT DIVISION

I heard Hong Keum-bo's parents are still running that pub in Incheon.

You can't throw up here.

Let's go.

SEOKGWAN INN

This is it.

Have you seen this man before?

This is the address on his resident registration record.

No, I've never seen him before.

Only the occasional day laborers stay here for the month.

Why would a well-dressed man like him stay at an inn long-term?

Hey, Mom.

You're not skipping meals, right?

You didn't even come home for Chuseok.

Should I go to you?

No, don't come. I'll go to you.

Wait…

Damn brat.

SEOUN UNIVERSITY

So? What did Keum-bo say?

Is she free tomorrow?

They're on the house.

These chicken legs are?

Mister, are you married?

Not yet.

Oh, I see.

What about a girlfriend?

No, I have no girlfriend.

Got it.

Thank you.

Hello there.

This is also on the house.

It's just a bit of complimentary white kimchi.

That looks like a lot.

They say a son-in-law is like an honored guest in the family.

You already feel like family to me.

Look at those muscular thighs.

Take care.

He's so handsome.

-I mean, I was… -Mom! Dad!

What are you doing here this late?

-I'm here for a business trip. -Goodness me.

You're way too old for crop tees.

A woman should keep her belly warm.

Pull up your pants. No, lower your shirt.

The man who just left with the bundle. What was he doing here?

Did you see him? He's so handsome, right?

He's not married and has no girlfriend.

To start, his physique, frame, and face all passed my test.

Why would you grade him?

We must think about the offspring.

Honey,

next time, we should ask him for his date and time of birth so we can check

-their astrological compatibility. -Right.

Mom.

Help us help you. We're so damn tired of making that white kimchi.

Hello again.

I forgot my cellphone.

-What… -Hold on.

-What was that? -I don't know.

-What just happened? -How would I know?

Wait.

Hold on. Stop.

Just a second.

What brings you all the way to a pub in an alleyway

of Jemulpo Market in Incheon?

Don't tell me you're here to see me.

Is this a background check?

Am I under surveillance?

I'm not here for you, Ms. Hong Jang-mi.

I'm here for Hong Keum-bo.

You're here for my sister?

No, you.

On the street in Yeouido the other night,

at the disciplinary hearing a few days ago,

and just now at your parents' restaurant.

I saw Hong Keum-bo every time.

Of course, you did.

We're sisters, after all.

I still see her now.

That's why you were dumped.

What?

You were dumped by my sister.

That's not something you should talk about so lightly.

As if.

She told me all about her boy…

I mean, she told me all about her relationship with you, President Shin.

Jeez, you have some gall coming here.

You know Keum-bo has a temper.

If I were her, you would've already been torn to shreds.

Your remains would be buried in that sandbox already.

What did you say?

You saw Hong Keum-bo in me? Unbelievable.

Your eyes must be getting old.

Wear some glasses, will you?

What about the sandglass?

Explain the sandglass on your desk at the office.

Oh, that?

I saved that from my sister's garbage.

She threw it out?

Yes.

This too. And this.

They're all hand-me-downs from my sister.

All this over nothing.

Leave.

Good night.

What the hell?

No, I'm sure of it.

I know what I saw.

I saw it clearly with my own two eyes.

I saw Keum-bo

take out this hairpin for some reason.

I couldn't tell if she was doing it for her sake or his,

but she fixed her hair and appearance swiftly.

Then, the two of them got really close.

They kept getting close, then pulling away.

They carried on what seemed like a sweet conversation.

Did you hear what they were saying?

Damn. No, I couldn't hear anything.

Jeez. What do you have ears for?

Your ears and nose have different holes for a reason.

No, that's not it.

You see…

You're back alone?

These are some side dishes for you.

What was that about with the handsome mister earlier?

Mom, you want to marry me off, right?

Then just quietly wait and see.

Even if that man comes back here, don't say a thing.

Zip it up.

-Zip. -Zip.

-Thanks for the food. -Sure.

Get home safely.

Lower that shirt.

And take a cab home!

Shin Jung-woo hasn't changed one bit. He still has to see it to believe it.

But he hasn't figured it out yet.

That's why he's trying to make me take the fall.

Or am I wrong? Maybe it's the opposite?

SEOUL CITY DORMITORY FOR SINGLE FEMALE WORKERS

Over here. Nora.

Why have you been ignoring my calls?

Here.

Handmade chocolate from the bakery in Valis Hotel, your favorite.

You've missed them, haven't you?

I've been busy. What are you doing here?

It's been forever since all three members of our family

have been together in Seoul like this.

We should go to your dad's this weekend for some family time.

You just want me there

because you're worried he won't open the door if you go alone.

Listen, the blood ties between a child and a parent

don't just disappear because of a divorce.

"Blood types"?

Not blood types! It's not exactly about blood…

Anyway, that's a thing.

Kang Nora.

Listen to me.

You're Kang Pil-beom's only daughter.

If anyone gives you hell at work,

write all their names down in your notebook.

When you become chairwoman, we'll send them packing.

You want me in that seat?

Then who else would I want?

I can do anything for you, Nora.

Really? You can do anything?

Yeah.

Do it.

You told me before

to stay by the cleverest one at work.

But that clever Hong Jang-mi

is about to get fired after helping me deliver lunches.

I need her.

Hong Jang-mi?

Okay.

Believe in me.

JEMULPO GIRLS' COMMERCIAL HIGH SCHOOL

In the olden days, children feared tigers, smallpox, and war the most.

However, today, children face a different and far more frightening terror

of becoming delinquent youths through exposure to harmful videos.

By choosing videos wisely and responsibly,

we can help guide and nurture healthy minds.

A single video can change a person's future.

Jang-mi, come and join us.

Let's watch a movie.

No thanks.

It's a romantic comedy.

I despise romance.

A post on Yeouido Pirates claims you were fired.

Is it true?

Not yet.

I went through hell for this job.

I refuse to leave empty-handed.

So delicious. I refuse to let you leave.

By the way,

I did read a strange comment earlier.

THE HIDDEN TRUTH ABOUT THE FEMALE HANMIN EMPLOYEE

That one right there.

"Hong Jang-mi was in on it."

"She just had the audacity to stab the great Hanmin in the back afterward."

Me?

Hong Jang-mi was in on it.

She just had the audacity to stab the great Hanmin…

How could she be in on it? She's just a matronly entry-level minion.

They just used her because she's a high school grad,

a disposable staff.

They're deliberately spreading lies.

Anyone who makes a living in the stock market is on Yeouido Pirates.

As soon as Hong Jang-mi is fired,

the lies become truths.

Damn it.

What if we turn the lies into truths?

Like "Seodongyo," where gossip turned into reality?

"Seodongyo"?

ADD COMMENT

I hear Hong Jang-mi already got in touch with the CEO of Onemillion.

SEOUL CITY DORMITORY FOR SINGLE FEMALE WORKERS

I wonder if General Manager So Gyeong-dong was really in the dark

about all those trading incidents that happened at Hanmin.

So Gyeong-dong?

It sounds like the Captain knows something.

Operation Seodongyo is a go.

Help me out, ladies.

Having lived such an honest life full of integrity,

I'm not crazy about lying,

but I do owe Hong Jang-mi one.

I'm in.

Did someone eat my chocolate?

These are mine.

There are two missing.

It was a gift from my mom.

Pardon me, ma'am.

Can I help you?

Hey, don't you know who I am?

Hello, Madam Choi. This way, please.

Unbelievable. Who's that kid?

He must be new here.

Is it that hard

to fire a measly girl?

It'll be difficult for someone of her rank to track down the CEO in hiding.

She'll soon wear herself out and leave on her own.

Jeez.

More importantly,

there are rumors that an insider was involved

in the Hanye Electronics incident.

What did you say?

-What's wrong with you all? -Ma'am, you can't…

-Just tell him I'm here. -He's in a meeting right now.

-Unbelievable. -Ma'am…

Chairman.

What are you doing here?

Can I not visit my kid's office?

Just barging in whenever you feel like it…

I've never seen you before. Who might you be?

I'm Shin Jung-woo.

He's the newly appointed president.

I see.

Don't you know me?

My apologies.

I guess you only studied in school.

How should I introduce myself?

Are you married?

Not yet.

You've never been? I have.

I haven't.

Gosh, it's like he came straight to work after graduating.

He's just like Myeong-hwi. They're two peas in a pod.

You know the late President Kang?

I used to be his stepmom.

See you next time.

Take care, ma'am.

There are a lot of eyes on you.

What do you want me to do about it?

You think they wouldn't notice me if I kept my mouth shut and behaved?

I get attention wherever I go, and I've decided it's my destiny.

You'll never know how that feels.

Are you here for a reason?

My reason will always be Nora.

She has a friend named Hong Jang-mi.

Make sure she never gets fired. That's what I came for.

In your dreams.

So Kang Nora has a friend now?

Hong Jang-mi?

YEOUIDO PIRATES HANMIN INVESTMENT & SECURITIES

I hear Ms. Kang and Hong Jang-mi are friends?

They joined in the same intake and are roommates, so Nora…

I mean, I believe Ms. Kang considers her a close friend.

Hong Jang-mi is a typical Gen X.

She's an immature, fearless 20-year-old.

That does describe

Ms. Kang's mental age.

She grew up lonely, so she's quite naive.

She trusts people too easily.

You should stay close to her

and keep a closer eye on her.

Yes, ma'am. I will do my utmost best.

Is this Yeouido Pirates post true?

Did you find the CEO of Onemillion?

No, I'm just leading everybody on.

In order to flush him out of hiding and into the open,

we need to put strain on his relationship with Mr. So.

We have to make him reach out.

CASH AND SECURITIES, SMALL-DENOMINATION BONDS/BMF

KIM MI-SOOK

I hear Hanmin's General Manager So Gyeong-dong

is actively supporting Hong Jang-mi.

They're hell-bent on catching the culprit.

General Manager So handed over all the files to the FSS…

to clear Hanmin's name.

…TO CLEANSE HANMIN'S MAME

THE HIDDEN TRUTH ABOUT THE FEMALE HANMIN EMPLOYEE

WHAT WOULD SHE KNOW? NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING

No thief goes around announcing they're a thief.

Using the high-school grad minion as a scapegoat and firing her

is crossing the line.

Ta-da.

Gosh, what are these?

-I'll take this one. -Take this too.

Did you notice anything particular about Mr. So?

Maybe he suddenly stepped out with his cellphone?

Or had some lunch plans out of the blue?

He's glued to his desk from the moment he comes into work.

It's like he's tied to that chair.

I also answer all his calls.

But…

But?

I kept hearing something vibrate in his desk drawer.

Buzz-buzz. Like that.

I see.

No one's here because the whole division is out for dinner.

Why didn't you go?

No one invited me.

They just don't know any better.

Clueless brainiacs.

I'll take it from here. You guys can go home.

Another cellphone?

Go home, Bok-hee.

Take her home already.

MR. SO

Where are you going?

I told you not to call me for the time being.

Why do you keep calling?

Yes, the FSS's internal probe is done.

But the company isn't, so just stop fussing.

What, you don't believe me,

but you believe some online gossip rag?

Just why would I report you, the CEO of Onemillion?

I'd be screwing myself over.

Who cares about the sale right now?

Oh my g--

Just lie low for the time being,

and get rid of your Myeongdong office.

Myeongdong?

Was he directly involved in schemes to create the slush fund?

How did you know to target Mr. So?

What tipped you off?

Could she have seen his name in the slush fund ledger back then?

I found it odd that the incident occurred within his team,

but he stepped back and took no responsibility as the general manager.

That made me wonder

who he was actually working so hard to serve.

The lunch menu isn't the only decision office workers have to make.

Maybe he had chosen complicity, choosing to look the other way,

to go along with, and take part in the wrongdoing.

I just thought you just looked old for your age,

but now you sound like a manager with at least ten years of experience.

I can't even imagine my thirties.

The Captain of Yeouido Pirates left a comment

that mentioned Mr. So by name.

I see.

Wasn't that so fun though?

My heart's still racing.

Detective play is over now.

Over.

-Good morning. -Yeah. Bonjour.

Maybe not?

Why is it still just Wednesday?

OFF-SITE WORK REQUEST NAME: HONG JANG-MI

"Off-site work request."

"Hong Jang-mi."

Ms. Hong, I'd like to help. Please call me back when you hear this.

Please.

You want to help her? Do you want to know how?

Yes.

Help her review the wanted ads and update her résumé.

She might actually be out for an interview today.

Ms. Hong would never.

I wonder what she's up to.

Excuse me.

Hello there.

Have you ever seen this man before?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Is he your husband? He must be cheating on you!

-Must be a runaway little brother. -A little…

How could he be younger than me? He looks…

Thanks.

REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE

Isn't this Kim from the hardware store?

Let me see.

No, that's clearly not him.

Maybe not?

Never mind then.

-Lunch delivery. -Over here.

Do you want to eat?

No, thank you.

-Enjoy your meal. -Thanks.

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION

He was granted parole due to diabetes?

Yeah.

I noticed he was quite a picky eater that day.

He even has alarms set up for his medication.

RESTAURANT

Did anyone who looked like him ask

for a special delivery time or multigrain rice?

Yes, multigrain rice.

That's him all right.

Do you remember his address by any chance?

QUICK PRIVATE LOANS!

Damn. He already ran off.

Darn it.

Score.

What is all this?

You're up?

I stole it.

NAME: PAK KI-SOO

FLIGHT INFORMATION: 10:15 SEOUL, KIMPO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Found it.

You got something?

I'm submitting an off-site work request on Jang-mi's behalf.

OFF-SITE WORK REQUEST

Again?

Without my approval?

Where has she gone today?

Aunt…

You know where she is, right?

Mr. Pak Ki-soo?

Yes?

Why is he running away?

Sir! Just a second, sir!

Damn it. What the hell?

POLICE SWAT TEAM

Jeez.

Oh no. My gosh.

Oh gosh.

What are you doing here, Mr. Oh?

No, why are you here?

I saw in Hollywood action flicks…

And…

You need stuff like this.

-I see. -Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you.

I think it'd be best if I come with you.

I'll call for you if I need help.

Yeah? Okay.

Jeez.

Let's see here.

This is a preview of the charges

you'll be facing.

CONVICTED IN INSURANCE FRAUD CASE

You can't get on that plane anyway.

Come on. Come at me.

Come on now!

Now, you'll walk back in there and pick up the papers.

It's 102 pages in total.

With all that, your arrest warrant will be out in a jiffy.

You're still on probation.

If you want to avoid a heavier sentence, I suggest we wrap up here.

Here.

ORDER CANCELLATION AGREEMENT

Sign it. Now thumbprint.

But

who are you anyway?

I'm Hong Jang-mi from Risk Management at Hanmin Investment & Securities.

It's the order cancellation agreement.

As expected, Ms. Hong.

ORDER CANCELLATION AGREEMENT

SIGNED: PAK KI-SOO

I knew you could do it, Ms. Hong.

The voicemail you left me was very encouraging, Mr. Lee.

You heard it?

It's real.

How did you get him to sign this?

Did you do something, Big Al?

Me?

I just stood outside.

I'd also like to submit this supplemental report on the incident.

Amazing.

I can't do it.

You submit it to the president yourself.

Why would I?

I didn't do anything, so it feels weird to submit it.

You know, in Hollywood action flicks,

when the protagonist finds themselves in danger,

their partner pops out of nowhere.

Just like how you did.

That's what gives you the right to submit it.

"Partner"?

Yes. Partner.

Go on, partner.

Part…

Partner…

Partner…

Partner…

Partner…

-Jeez. -You made quite an effort.

Yes, because I'm a partner.

As promised, can we call off Ms. Hong's termination?

We'll see how she does during her probationary period.

By the way,

about the recommended improvements at the end of the report…

"The development of an internal system that blocks orders

when the selling price falls outside the market range."

Why don't we have Risk Management spearhead that project?

Pardon?

Us?

Why do we keep finding more work?

That's what happens when you suggest improvements.

That's a basic part of a report.

I was so inspired after reading your report.

Maybe the president recognized our hidden potential?

I wish he didn't.

All right. That's enough work talk.

The highlight of today!

-Mr. Bang! -Yeah!

-Next is Mr. Lee! -Thank you.

Finally, our Ms. Hong. Congratulations on your first paycheck.

Applause!

Okay.

The intensity of my workload has doubled,

but my paycheck has reduced by 70%.

This will be the last month for pay stubs.

The president wants it all digitized.

You can check on the intranet from now on.

How about a team dinner tonight?

We should celebrate since it's Ms. Hong's first payday.

-That sounds great. -What would you like?

I'm not going. I'm clocking out now.

TITLE: REPORTING SO GYEONG-DONG TO: JW.SHIN@HANMIN.CO.KR

SENDING…

YOUR MAIL HAS BEEN SENT

See you.

Wow.

Regarding what I told you about Ms. Hong earlier,

there are a few things I would like to clarify.

Go ahead.

She lacks interpersonal skills and is indeed stubborn,

but she's very dedicated when it comes to work.

Is that so?

The company-wide

information-sharing system you brought to my attention.

Who came up with that idea?

I brainstormed it with Ms. Hong Jang-mi.

The brainwork was about 6:4.

And of course, I was the six.

You said she was also the one who told you that I liked pizza, right?

Yes, that was all her. 100%.

You may leave.

NEW MAIL FROM UNKNOWN: REPORTING SO GYEONG-DONG

SO GYEONG-DONG FROM TRADING HAS BEEN CLOSE WITH ONEMILLION'S RICHARD PAK FOR YEARS

SO GYEONG-DONG POSSESSES A SECRET SECOND CELL LINE

To avoid a repeat of this mistake,

the trading system will be reinforced.

What about the girl who blew this up?

This is different from what you promised me.

I believe we should prioritize silencing the unnecessary rumors.

Also,

Division Manager Albert Oh from Risk Management

will spearhead the development.

Division Manager Oh is surprisingly ambitious

and a good leader.

Yes, President Shin.

Sir, it's just that Albert never had the chance.

He does take after you

and a bit after me, a former Ministry of Finance and Economy official.

With just a bit more experience,

he'll be able to take on harder projects without issue.

They say, "Genius always shows."

You must be familiar with that saying.

You can all go back to work.

Ms. Song, you stay.

That kid…

What should we do with Mr. So?

I'm well aware that you've kept him by your side and cherished him

for a long time.

Has So Gyeong-dong

passed his expiration date as well?

Sir.

If you grant me the authority,

I'll be sure to achieve greater results than Mr. So without any mistakes--

President Shin Jung-woo…

must've figured out it was a scheme.

How about President Shin…

instead of General Manager So?

Has President Shin caught your eye?

I'm sure his studies abroad and experience earning dollars

will set him apart somehow.

Also,

about the figurehead CEO of Onemillion…

Wrap that up for me, will you?

Yes, sir.

I will take care of it.

Whether it's making money for investors

or stealing it for the boss,

you'd better do it right, moving forward.

If we'd ended it with Hong Jang-mi's disciplinary hearing,

there would've been no issue.

I heard that's what you told the chairman as well.

She returned with a signed agreement cancelling the three-billion-won order.

What grounds do we have left?

Scrutiny and harassment of Ms. Hong Jang-mi

will no longer be tolerated.

Any veteran trader knows

that bad deals

must be dealt with swiftly.

What happened?

How could you sign that?

Some girl showed up with a fat file packed with all the market manipulation evidence.

She even came into the men's room.

Screw that commission.

I'm done working with you.

-What do you want to eat? -Let's get barbecue.

Let's go all out.

Why don't we call Mi-sook and go out for dinner together?

I'd like to treat you all.

It's payday.

Really? That sounds great. What should we get?

I wanted to head home early because I'm so tired today.

You already know, right?

The one treating better have a fat wallet.

Of course.

Did you buy that camcorder? It looks really expensive.

I'm just borrowing it.

Aunt…

You know where she is, right?

KIMPO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

It wasn't free.

Nothing's free in this world.

You heard me, right? We need to eat up today.

It's actually been a really long time since I've asked someone

to share a meal.

Choose your dessert.

I'm not surprised.

You look like you have no friends.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

The youngest shouldn't pay. Move it.

How much is the total?

I said I'd treat you all.

Just let her.

-But I can pay… -Stop it.

Thank you.

Time for round two.

Round two?

I've never been to a rock cafe before.

Me neither.

Can I just head back to the dorm?

I have some bible study to catch up on.

The Lord will always be by our side, but youth is always fleeting.

They won't even let you in after 30.

Just like those geezers.

Leave.

Man, I'm just speechless over here.

You punk, do you know who we are?

How the hell would I know who you are?

What? What is it? Leave.

-Leave! -What is he doing here?

Scram!

-Go. Get out of here. Damn it. -Hey.

-Come on. -Leave!

Hurry up and go!

ONE FREE BEER

Hi!

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Should we play the truth game?

If you don't answer immediately, you drink.

"I am interested in a man at work."

-No. -No!

I heard the new president

is totally the heartthrob of Yeouido.

He's come a long way.

I overheard the middle-aged men talk smack about him at work.

Right.

"I have a secret spot I go to

when I'm upset and want to cry it out alone."

I have so many spots…

but yesterday, it was the burger place farthest from the office.

I go to the safe.

Even the scary customers can't get back there.

Mine is the last bus out.

They're all drunk and can't tell if I'm crying or drooling anyway.

Jang-mi, I bet you don't have one yet. You're still just a baby.

Mine is

the ladies' room on the B2 floor of the library by my parents' place.

I didn't want to upset my parents by sticking around at home,

so I pretended to be busy by going to the library every day.

But sometimes, all those emotions would choke me up.

It was a long time ago.

I guess the great Hanmin saved a terrible, unemployed daughter.

Come on. Let's drink.

-Let's drink. -Cheers.

I found you, my peacocks!

What the hell? How did that jerk get in here?

Where are you all from? Do you want to hang out?

Does he think he's a pigeon?

We're college students.

We're in the middle of a serious conversation.

I see. Understood.

-Look at him waddling. -Hello there.

-What do you say to 4:3? -Isn't he so ugly?

Look. He just got rejected again.

"We're college students."

Wasn't that man so ugly?

-Totally. -Yeah.

He was on the ugly side.

What the hell?

It's 11:45 right now.

-Curfew! -Curfew!

Run!

We need to hurry! Run!

How would I know who she is?

She had the tackiest hairstyle.

I'll look for another job.

Get up.

Let's go to our spot.

Let's just accept our demerit points and go in.

It's just one point.

Hey, I'll be evicted with one more demerit point.

There's a way in.

How are we supposed to climb over a 2-meter wall when we're only 160 cm?

I want to try.

What?

Okay.

The youngest should be our stepping stone.

I think we can just step on that--

Just step on this and climb up.

Sorry.

Be careful.

Great. Thanks so much.

Careful.

Jeez. Hurry up already.

-Are you okay? -I'm fine.

What about Jang-mi?

Nice catch.

It's the RA. Hide!

She's gone.

Good job.

Thank goodness.

-That was close. -I know, right?

Jang-mi was so…

What happened here?

We must've been robbed.

Oh no.

This is why

you should know your place and not act up.

Who's in there?

UNDERCOVER MISS HONG

I heard there is an infiltrator in our company

-who helped blow the whistle. -What?

-Are you hiding something? -No.

The higher-ups are looking for Yehppee.

Both of you, bring me evidence that proves you're innocent.

We must find out who Yehppee is first.

Is there any chance you know how to hack too?

They might even search the Outstanding Women Employees' Club.

The Outstanding Women Employees' Club?

And Song Ju-ran.

What about her?

I see an odd resemblance.
