This is CEO Lee Ji Sang, who will be the Head Director starting today.

Head Director?

It's a pleasure to meet you, Chief Ok Da Jung.

What are you doing, Chief Ok? Say hello.

I'm Ok Da Jung.

Oh, and this is Deputy Chief Nam.

I'm Nam Jung Gi.

All right. From now on, Lovely will be led by the two of us together

so make sure you report important matters to him, as well.

You don't need to make any formal reports to me.

I'll leave it to you all to help our company

become one that can maximize profits.

Just what the heck is going on? A Head Director, all of a sudden?

I'm not sure. Maybe he was just given a title since he's an important investor.

It sure didn't feel like that, though.

He was talking about us maximizing profits and such before.

Seeing that, he may want to lay off some more people.

Are you saying that someone may easily be fired this time around, too?

Oh, no way.

Manager Shin.

Why are there so many holes in our financial records?

To tell you the truth

there were a lot of issues with the financial reports from last time, too.

The industry term for this is "embezzlement."

Hey! Are you out of your mind? What the hell is going on?

I just showed it to you for a second since he wanted to see it.

When did you hand these over to this guy?

How could I not show these to our investor?

So, how much is it exactly, Manager Dang?

Ignoring the small amounts, like the tens of thousands of won he's taken

I believe that he's taken at least 100 million won from the company.

- 100 million won? - Wait, no.

I didn't embezzle that money! There must be a mistake!

I feel wronged! Who are you calling a thief?

It's obvious that you embezzled it! How dare you!

You should've given me time to prepare. How could you do this out of the blue?

Whether it was sudden or not, it would been fine if you didn't cause trouble!

I entrusted you with this. How could you do this?

How humiliating!

How could you steal from us, like some damn alley cat?

Geez... I feel wronged, Brother-in-Law!

- What? Manager Shin did? - What? Manager Shin did?

- He was embezzling funds? - Yes!

They said that he took at least 100 million!

And he was caught red-handed by the new investor?

- Wow, karma sure has its way! - It's really tense up there right now.

I feel like something is definitely going to happen.

Manager Shin won't be the one fired, by any chance... will he?

As if he'd be so easily fired. He's the President's brother-in-law!

The fact that the Director provoked the General Manager as soon as he got here

means that he's willing to restructure this place from the top-down.

And thus, we found ourselves in an unpredictable situation.

All of us began to quiver, like candle flames in the wind.

We don't want to press criminal charges, so please resign on your own will.

Um, if you just fire him now like this, the General Manager's position--

Manager Dang here is an accounting specialist.

- He'll take good care of your books. - What?

You can't, President.

How could you give a new director firing privileges? How can you trust him?

And how did things work out when it was the Lovely staff in charge of it?

You didn't even realize it as the General Affairs team rotted from the inside out.

So, what does the person you recommended know about cosmetics?

Do you think that the financial manager only deals with mere numbers?

You can't manage finances responsibly without knowing about the business!

Um, I do believe that Chief Ok has a point.

Don't worry about that.

I have another person coming who's well-acquainted with this industry.

Another... person?

Um, who?

Oh, how the heck are you guys? Oh-ho! Wow.

- It's been a while, Deputy Chief Nam! - Manager Yang, why are you here?

- Why else? I was scouted. - What did you say?

You were scouted? To where?

Where else? Lovely Cosmetics, of course.

What?

President, how could you give away your HR powers so easily?

Who gave who what, now? All I did was agree with CEO Lee's suggestions!

The d-d-decision was ultimately made by me, yes.

You call this a properly-made decision? Manager Yang stole our plans last time!

I didn't know that Manager Yang would be the one coming here, either.

And you made a decision, not even knowing who'd be coming?

No, er, I mean, I did know, but...

You're saying you made that sort of decision, being fully aware of this?

I'm sure that CEO Lee had great reasons for doing this.

We're all family on the same boat now, anyway.

Family? Does that man Lee Ji Sang think that, too?

Of course he does! That's why he invested in us, probably.

How else could he have been okay with giving us so much money?

Isn't that right?

That's not the issue right now, though.

The person you should be protecting right now isn't our investor!

This is all for the sake of the company. Don't worry too much, Chief Ok

and just trust me, okay?

[Vice Chief Yang Joo Ho]

What are you doing? That's Deputy Han's spot--

Vice Chief? Vice freaking Chief?

So I have to call him "sir" now?

- Vice Chief Yang! - Oh my! General Manager!

What? General Manager?

Oh, I really love it! Please take care of me from now on, General Manager.

What's going on? Why do I feel like things have gone upside down overnight?

If that guy is the General Manager, then Manager Shin is...

Oh, Manager Shin.

What's going on, Manager Shin? Manager Shin? Where are you going?

- Manager Shin! - What?

What's going on? You weren't actually fired, were you?

Isn't it obvious? Damn it!

Our family owns so many of Lovely's shares, too!

And they dare kick me out because he invested a few won?

Just you watch. I'll pay you back for this tenfold.

Hey!

Um, Chief. Just what in the world is going on, here?

We got a General Director without any notice

and the General Manager was replaced. On top of that, we got a Vice Chief!

I just can't wrap my head around what is going on!

- Get your head on straight. - What?

We're headed for an all-out war.

An all-out war?

Huh? What's this? Who wrote up this document?

- Um, I did. - This is some really shoddy work.

Oh, Senior! Let me properly greet you.

I'm Yang Joo Ho, the new Vice Chief of the Marketing team.

I'll be depending on you to look out for me, as fellow former Gold employees.

From now on, I'll be your arms and legs.

You know very well just how reliable I am, right?

Just leave all the tedious and difficult work to me!

I'll give you all the loyalty I have to give!

Deputy Chief Nam, sprinkle some red pepper flakes around the office.

He's being so sickening that I can barely stand it.

Is what the Chief wants me to tell you, Vice Chief Yang.

Stop laughing like idiots and assess the situation a bit.

Assess the situation?

What do you think is Lovely's greatest advantage?

It's money! And who has control over that right now? CEO Lee Ji Sang!

And who's the one backing me? That same CEO Lee!

You get it now, right? Let's understand who's the one in charge here, got it?

Deputy Chief Nam. Got it?

How dare you mess around, damn it.

Director Kim! Director Kim! Just what is CEO Lee up to?

Why are you asking me that? You should know that better than me.

But he's close with you! And you know him well.

Why, is something going on?

He's flipped our entire company over! He even brought your Manager Yang over!

- Did you not know that? - What?

Manager Yang submitted his resignation letter... and that's where he went?

You sure do have a knack for stealing other people's subordinates.

What do you mean, steal? Aren't you the one who sent him?

Didn't you talk this over with CEO Lee, or something?

What nerve! Are you accusing me of plotting something?

Geez! Don't be like that, and tell me the truth.

#

Big Bro Hwan Kyu! Remember, the Kyu Line?

Big Brother Hwan Kyu?

Kyu Line, my ass! You stole another one of my employees!

I haven't seen CEO Lee at all since he invested in your company

so just leave if you're going to keep spouting nonsense!

Director! Um, Big Bro Hwan Kyu!

What? Manager Yang went to Lovely?

Do you know anything about it, by any chance?

I do know that Director Kim is behind this, without a doubt.

So that means that Director Kim is involved in all this, too.

Who's the investor that gave Manager Yang a place at Lovely?

Just someone. A really terrible bastard.

Is it that mergers and acquisitions pro, by any chance?

- A hunter of companies. - No way.

Yes, that's right. At this rate, Lovely will be torn apart

or it'll become absorbed into another large company.

It's only a matter of time.

- So, what are you going to do? - I have to prevent that.

I have to prevent it no matter what it takes.

And that's why... I want to make a request of you.

What is this?

"Tava Tech's true owner, Mr. L, is swiftly summoned by prosecution?"

This may be too much to ask of you, Yoon Ho.

I'd completely understand if you were to refuse.

You could've really succeeded, but you ruined your life because of Ok Da Jung.

Did I keep you waiting?

- No, sir. - What is it?

You never seek me out first.

- Ok Da Jung came to see me. - And?

- Why are you telling me that? - She wanted me to find out

if the people investing in Lovely were working with Gold.

What are you trying to do right now?

I want to reclaim the life that Ok Da Jung ruined for me.

So you want to be a double-agent, huh?

I'm asking you to use me.

But in exchange, let me get on that boat, too.

[Anguk Electrics Employee Interviews]

- Um, what's all this? - All of my qualifications

and all of the jobs that I've had thus far.

I've worked at department stores and supermarkets

modeled for ads, and even acted in a movie!

Not only that! I was a deliveryman, worked at a Japanese restaurant

a Chinese restaurant, theme park, movie theater, concert hall, dry cleaners

a resort, a computer cafe, a hotel, golfing range, billiards hall, karaoke

a student dorm, a study hall, a coffee shop, a fast-food place, chicken delivery

arcade, clothing store manager, babysitter, bar, janitor, hair salon

packaging donuts, parking assistant, distributing seafood

nursing, caddy, dermatologist, fitting model, flyer poster

housekeeper, cell phone seller, DVD store, electronics store, farming

event staff, masseuse, and more! And I have a cooking license, and more!

Including the jobs I don't remember having, I've had over 40 unique jobs.

How's my resume? Isn't it great?

But, um, you've never worked at any place for longer than a month.

My life motto is to have as many unique experiences as I can before I turn 30!

That's why I worked at various places to get many different experiences

instead of constraining myself to just one job.

But you want to constrain yourself to working at our company, now?

- That's correct. - And why is that?

Well, that's because... of love.

How do I put this... I want to become a better man for a certain woman.

So please, tie me down!

Please, tie me down!

So please, tie me down!

Please! Please!

Wait! No! Please! No!

That one's out... and that one, and that one.

Wow, I don't get it! How is it that not even one place sees how valuable I am?

Oh, damn it!

Don't use your fists ever again.

But you told me not to hold back!

I said not to hold back, not that you should use your fists.

What do I do, then? That bastard keeps teasing me about having no mom!

Tell that bastard this, then.

"I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you."

- What? - Repeat after me.

I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you.

Louder! I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you!

I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you!

Even louder! And really give it your all when you glare!

One more time!

I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you!

I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you!

One more time!

I have no mom, but at least I'm not a jackass like you!

Ji Ho! Why are you crying? What happened?

Grandma! He said that I'm a jackass!

- Oh, I'm sorry, Ji Ho's grandmother. - Oh, no.

My grandson was at fault, too.

Hey, you can't tease your friends!

Hey, Woo Joo! You can't say bad words to your friends!

- You should be more friendly. - Of course!

- You should be more friendly! - Whatever! I have to go to cram school!

Just look at him. He totally is a jackass.

Hey, hey! Woo Joo, you need to go in and do your homework.

- Hurry up and head inside! - Yes, Grandpa.

Have a safe trip back, ma'am.

What a polite child he is.

Oh, yes. Even if we couldn't teach him other things, we're trying to raise him

to be a polite child, at the very least.

Well, I'm not saying that your grandson is a total and complete jackass, though.

- I'll be going now. - Oh, I almost forgot. Just a moment!

Your children said they enjoyed this, and left this for me to give to you.

Really? Wow, it seems that they've finally matured.

They even washed the containers for me!

- Oh, um, yes. - Then please bring this to them, too.

- Oh, this, too? - I'll leave it to you!

Oh...

Oh, geez. What do I do with this?

[Tava Tech]

[CEO Oh Myung Sup of Tava Tech Commits Suicide]

Why was Chief Ok looking at articles related to this company?

"A Mr. L..." Mr. L, huh?

Lee Ji Sang? Oh, no way!

- You're here, Chief? - Why are you still here?

Oh, I still had some work left to do.

I'm going to go now. What about you, Chief?

I also have some work left to do. You can go ahead and head home.

Yes, ma'am.

I'll be going now, Chief!

It's me. I'd like it if you could move our plans up a bit.

Would that be okay?

The situation has taken a turn for the worse, you see.

Okay, read it one more time.

"Think about the consequences before you act out in anger."

You must not forget our family motto, Woo Joo.

No matter what happens, you mustn't get angry. Hold back.

You have to hold back.

I'm home.

- Dad! - What are you doing?

Oh, I was in the middle of educating Woo Joo.

The child has become a bit rough around the edges.

Why, did something happen?

I don't think that our family motto and I go well together, Dad.

- I can't live in this house anymore! - What?

- What? - Where are you going to live, then?

I want to live with the lady next door!

- What? - What?

Woo Joo, what are you saying? You're my son!

So why does my son want to live with the lady next door instead of me?

That doesn't even make any sense!

That's why I'm saying I need your permission.

- Permission for what? - To tell you the truth...

Dad. I want to marry that lady.

Wait, what? Dad! Big Bro! Are you okay, Dad?

What the hell are you saying? Get over here, you.

I want to marry her!

I want to marry her! I'm going to marry her!

Woo Joo. You know, the thing about marriage is...

it's really a complicated thing, okay? It's a really complicated deal.

Oh my gosh, how do I explain this to him?

I'm a man, aren't I? So I can marry her, can't I?

I want to marry her! I want to marry her!

It seems that kids sure do mature quickly nowadays.

They grow up so quickly.

What is it? You have to say something if you called me out to talk.

- Can I really tell her? - Yeah, of course!

You're a man, so you have to tell her!

What is it? Tell me.

Uncle, I really can't do it!

Woo Joo says that he wants to get married.

- With who? - With you, Big Sis.

- What? Is that true? - Yes.

- Is that how you really feel? - Yes, it is.

Is that right?

- Okay. I'll do it. - Say what, now?

- Big Sis, do you mean it? - Yes, I do.

Yes!

But if we're going to get married, you'll have to become an adult.

How many years do you have left until you become an adult, again?

Including going to the army and getting a job, you have about 20 years left.

- 20 whole years? - I'll be around 60 by then.

60? Then you'll be around my grandpa's age.

I was wondering what I'll do when I get all old and wrinkly.

This is great for me! You have to keep this promise for sure, okay?

You have to marry me for sure, okay? Also, I can't have babies at that age.

So please, understand that.

I'll get white hairs, but I can just dye those, and I'll get all wrinkly, too.

- Woo Joo, what's wrong? - Lady, you're so scary!

But let's get married for sure, okay?

Wow, Big Sis. You sure do have a knack for turning people down.

It's best to nip unrealistic dreams in the bud.

- The commercial is finished, right? - Yes, of course.

Get this approved by the Chief before the staff dinner.

Yes, I understand.

- Ms. Jang Mi Ri? - Yes?

See me.

Oh my. What are you doing?

A special package for the opening of the duty-free store?

Why didn't you bring this to me for approval?

Oh, we all bring reports on individual tasks to the Chief to be approved.

There's no law saying that that's how things are done!

What the hell do you take me for? Are you going to keep ignoring me?

Um, that's not it, Vice Chief Yang. That's just how we usually do things.

I'm sure things are different between here and Gold.

So why did she discuss it with you, then, and not me?

That's because he helped me with what I've prepared.

Ms. Jang Mi Ri.

From now on, everything to be approved by Chief Ok goes through me.

From now on, things that get approved which don't go through me are void!

Got that?

Geez, how noisy. Who's being so damn loud so early in the morning?

Deputy Han!

What happened, Deputy Han?

What brings you here?

I told you, didn't I? That I'd take a break for a week and start working.

- Start working? Where? - Where else, but here?

Listen. Who are you, middle-aged lady?

- And just who the hell are you? - What?

How dare you use informal speech with me--

Shouldn't you say your name before you ask for mine?

How dare a green-looking whelp like you be so impudent?

Where did you learn your social skills? What company are you from?

Huh?

You're here, Ms. Han Young Mi?

Hello, Chief. I did want to play for a bit longer

but you desperately needed my help, so I came here as fast as I could.

Chief, what is going on here?

Say hello. This is Ms. Han Young Mi, who'll be a freelancer for our team.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.

[Freelancer Work Contract]

[Monthly Salary: 3.5 million won]

- What? A freelancer? - Yes.

I used my power to hire Ms. Han Young Mi as a freelancer for us.

- You should've asked me first, then! - I did tell you, though

that our team needs one more member since we're short-staffed.

I thought we were just going to get a casual temp worker!

I chose her because I needed someone with lots of experience.

Also, does it make sense that she'll only be working seven hours per day?

How could she be working less hours than a full-time employee?

Also, who told you to give her a bonus for the signing?

That's my money that you're giving her, not yours!

You shouldn't meddle with my work, just like I shouldn't meddle with yours.

What?

"The affairs of the Marketing Department are all entrusted to Ok Da Jung."

That's what was written on the contract I signed when I came here!

- You didn't forget, did you? - Damn it.

So what am I supposed to tell CEO Lee?

If it's so troubling to you, I can tell him myself.

- Want me to do that? - Oh, whatever!

That's all, then.

Damn, I'm so pissed!

Um, it seems that Chief Ok has caused some trouble again.

She re-hired someone who was fired as a freelancer--

- Really? - I didn't agree with it, of course.

I truly, really didn't.

- If you want me to fire her, I'll-- - It's fine.

Just leave it.

If Chief Ok is the one who brought her back, we'll have to take her back.

But you wanted me to fire people for the sake of cutting down on expenses--

If Chief Ok brought her back, I'm sure she has a good reason for it.

Oh, d-d-d-do you think so? Yes, then. Let's do that.

Why are all of you just staring at me?

Get to work, everyone.

What are you doing, just sitting there?

Well, you're the one who took my seat. Want me to sit in the rec room, then?

Damn it.

You're getting in the way of us working, so go sit somewhere else!

Oh, I didn't tell you? I'm a freelancer

and I don't listen to anybody else's commands but Chief Ok's.

That's in the terms of my contract.

So based on what I heard, you came back after being fired.

If you don't want to be fired again, assess the situation a bit!

You're just a freelancer, and I'm a Vice Chief.

Based on what I heard, you got the spot handed to you from the new director

so you're the one who should really be assessing the situation.

If you keep messing around because you have ties to the director

you'll really get a scolding.

Why, this woman -- how dare you refer to me so informally? Huh?

- Vice Chief Yang! - Why, I ought to--

What kind of backwards company is this?

And who was the one who turned it backwards in the first place?

- Whose fault is it? - Come on, Deputy Han!

Don't hold her back.

I need employees who are honest and say what's on their mind confidently

instead of those who try to kiss up to their superiors.

And that's why I called Deputy Han back, too.

This company has no sense of structure or manners.

It's a total mess!

If you've become subordinates like us now, you have to live like we do.

What did you say?

You're no longer the Manager of Purchasing at Gold.

You're just the Vice Chief at Lovely now.

This isn't a place where you can kiss ass to move ahead.

You actually have to showcase some semblance of skill to stay alive here!

Such is the world of subordinates that we live in.

So if you're a subordinate, act like one. Got that?

[Welcome to being a subordinate!]

Let's begin our meeting now.

Yes, Chief! Let's get to that meeting.

Vice Chief Yang, our conference room is over there.

- What do you think, Deputy Han? - Bling Bling Glam Style.

- Isn't it great? - Wow, it really is.

To commemorate the opening of the duty- free store, we'll have a fan-signing

and these special gold lipsticks. Ms. Jang Mi Ri planned all this.

We'll be packaging the blush and the eye lacquer.

It's nice.

Let's choose a date and begin production.

- Yes. - We don't have much time left.

Won't this be overdoing it?

You need to be realistic when you plan things.

And I don't believe that Lovely has the kind of power to accomplish this yet.

- I'm just worried, is all. - Um, Vice Chief Yang.

We've always been working at this sort of pace.

We don't compete with numbers, like Gold does.

Instead, we compete with our ideas and speed.

Is he just dumb, or oblivious?

He just has no common sense! How did he manage to get any work done?

Sheesh.

After the event is over, we'll send out a questionnaire

And we'll also survey the preferences of our customers.

Please do, Deputy Han. Let's end the meeting.

- Yes, good work. - That was great, Chief.

Hey, who did you call for the signing event?

Oh, we got someone totally popular!

You'll be able to progress without any issues until the duty-free store opens?

Don't worry. I'll be sure to check the quantity and send them over.

Also, do you know of a company called Tava Tech?

Their factory is close to this one.

Tava Tech? Oh, the place that closed down because their CEO committed suicide?

Why are you asking about that, all of a sudden?

Is there anyone you know who used to work there?

There's something I really have to look into.

Really? Okay, I'll look into it, then.

I'll leave it to you, then.

- Are you heading out? - Why are you just getting in, Dad?

Oh, I'm so tired. Hey! Where are you going all dressed up like that nowadays?

You didn't know? I got a job!

- A job? - Yeah!

I'll be going then, Dad. Let's go! Yeah!

Wait a second, did I just hear that correctly?

He got a job?

If you buy the gold lipstick pack, you can get an autograph from Cheetah!

Hello! Over here!

If you buy the gold lipstick pack, you can get an autograph from Cheetah!

We help you choose your best color out of our 99 colors of lipstick.

Would you like to try? Oh, thank you! This way!

- Can you put your lips on that, please? - My lips?

Yes, please! Thank you!

- Thank you! - Thank you!

Wow, that Cheetah must be really famous.

This is the Manager Ji Yoon Ho that I mentioned to you before.

So you want to get involved in what we're doing?

I want to lend the respectable Director Kim strength in what he's doing

and it seems like a good investment opportunity.

So I made a special request to the Director.

This guy really is a bit too honest sometimes.

I don't trust people who easily expose their true colors very much.

People act as if they're being honest

when they're trying to hide something

hoping that the other party will fall for their act.

Well, I'm not saying that you're doing that, per se.

Be careful. Investors have a sharper discerning eye than others.

I'll do my best to become a trustworthy man in your eyes.

This guy has a great source at Lovely

so he will be of help to you.

I understand what you mean very well, Director Kim.

- All right. Good work, everyone! - Good work, everyone!

- Good work! - Ah, I feel good!

- You're here, Chief? - You've all worked hard.

I guess that the grand opening had an effect, since our sales were great.

And the response to the special event was great, too.

It was so hard not being able to sit all day

- so please buy us a staff dinner! - She doesn't like that kind of stuff

- so I'll buy for you guys. - What?

- All right! - It's to commemorate my comeback!

I'll buy some chicken!

- Can we get alcohol, too? - Of course!

Don't drink too much, though.

Let's split it. I'll pay for drinks.

- Let's split the check. - Split the check!

Good work, everyone. Instead of that, come with me.

- What? - What?

The President told me to bring everyone over if you're all done here.

- Um, all of us? - Yes, that's what he said.

Let's go.

Us, too?

All right. CEO Lee is buying today due to your hard work.

So everyone enjoy, okay?

Good work, Chief Ok.

- Wow, this is delicious. - Yum!

President, we should come here more often!

- Yes! - Oh, if only!

You should buy us something expensive, too! You owe us that much!

What's the matter? Does it not suit your taste?

I just don't have much of an appetite.

All right, then. Don't just stuff your faces mindlessly.

Please say a word or two for us, CEO Lee.

You even prepared such a lovely dinner for all the staff.

With me coming on board as a director and the opening of the duty-free store

I wanted to have dinner with all of you once.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you, sir.

Well, it does seem that our company

has become quite luxurious after our new director came.

All we used to eat was pork ribs, and now we're having steak!

I'll prepare more and more dinners like these for you all.

We're all like family now, after all.

How disgusting.

All you did was throw some change at us, and you call us a family?

That's not exactly your style, Mr. Lee Ji Sang.

It seems that you have quite a bit of hostility toward me, Chief Ok.

People who try to stake claim on up-and- coming companies by giving them money

and bastards who act all high and mighty with money that isn't even theirs

are the type of people that I despise the most.

I wonder how I could win your favor?

- You're Deputy Chief Nam, correct? - Oh... yes.

What should I do? How can I get Ms. Ok Da Jung to accept me?

Well, I don't know much. But it'd suffice if you showed that you were

making efforts to make this a better company, I think.

Hey, Deputy Chief Nam! How dare you speak to the Director that way?

Could you explain the "good company" you're envisioning more concretely?

Well, first things first, it'll have to create good products.

And what else?

And I'd like if it were a company in which the employees could work happily.

Happiness, huh? We can just raise their salaries, then.

So it came down to money, after all. Isn't that right?

Well, what I said was happiness.

I'm sure that bonuses and our salaries can apply to happiness

but money isn't everything, I'm sure.

Taking pride in my work. The happiness I feel in having accomplished what I did.

The happiness that I get from being recognized for doing what I did.

The fact that I have my comrades with me.

And all these things help me build up confidence we can overcome anything.

These kinds of things constitute happiness, right?

I'm sorry. I crossed the line.

Thank you, Chief.

You can't buy things like these with money.

Isn't that right?

He's quite a skilled man who single- handedly did all the product development.

The formulas for the Pat Pat Serum and the 99 lipsticks are his work, as well.

So this is the reason why he wasn't fired

even after I sent the photos of him being wined and dined.

Also, he lives in the same apartment building as Chief Ok.

- The same apartment building? - Yes, sir. They're next-door neighbors.

Should I ask her about the Tava Tech articles?

Is the "Mr. L" mentioned in those articles really Lee Ji Sang?

And just what is the relationship between Chief Ok and Lee Ji Sang?

Did they know each other from before?

Maybe he's her third ex-husband? No way, no way!

But should I ask her, just in case?

If you're curious about something, just ask.

No, it's nothing. There's nothing like that.

Never mind, then.

Then, please get some rest--

I'll be heading in now.

What does it matter to me if someone sends her flowers or not?

And who'd deliver flowers so late? They must have tons of free time!

Damn it, why won't this sock come off?

How could I win Ms. Ok Da Jung over?

How could I get Ms. Ok Da Jung to accept me?

Why would I care? I don't care one bit!

Is it from Flowerpot? Or Creepster?

Or maybe...

[Lee Ji Sang] I enjoyed dinner tonight.

Hey are you just getting in, or are you heading out?

What are you saying? It's been a while since I started working like an adult.

What? Started working?

- You got a job? - Why are you so shocked?

You're embarrassing me.

I'll give it my all today, too! Whoo!

Hey, don't be so shocked. It's only his third day.

Oh, really?

What's with Woo Joo?

He's been like that since he got his heart broken by the lady next door.

Oh, I see. Well, he'll need to learn the ways of the world sooner or later.

Oh geez.

You'll be late! Come on, let's go!

Seriously?

Are you heading out now, ma'am?

Um, but why did you leave the flowers from yesterday...

They were delivered to me by mistake.

- That's a lie. - I'm telling you, they're not mine.

Oh, I see.

Let's go.

What is this? Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!

What?

I just got a bonus. Look! Look!

- Huh? It's true! - Huh? It's true!

You look too, Deputy Chief Nam!

- Did you all check your bank accounts? - What's going on?

It's not even payday, but you're giving us a bonus?

It's such a huge amount of money!

I added up all the bonuses I owe you up until now, and deposited them.

This is all thanks to CEO Lee, so just be aware of that.

- Wow! The Director is the best! - Wow.

It finally feels like this is a proper company now.

I'm a freelancer, so I wonder why I got a bonus, too?

You have the bonus that you weren't paid before you got fired.

- That's what he gave you. - Who did, now?

Who else? The one with all the money in this company. Director Lee Ji Sang.

Oh my!

I guess he really liked what Deputy Chief Nam said to him yesterday!

But still, he's so generous! Wow, he's so cool!

Chief Ok has never done anything like this for you before, right?

Even though she was more than happy to take her own share.

- What are you talking about? - You didn't know?

I heard that she got a bonus for the success of Pat Pat.

Wow... seeing how shocked you all are, I really can't bring myself to tell you

that she even got a larger bonus for the sales doing well!

- Um, where did you hear that? - The General Manager.

Well, she's the Chief, so that could happen.

Let's work now, folks. We even got paid, so we should work hard.

What's going on? Is Yang Joo Ho telling the truth?

If it is true, OMG! Can't believe it!

I'm not going to believe any of Vice Chief Yang's lies.

How does it feel, after you've confirmed it with your own eyes?

Don't act all high and mighty after only having done what you should've.

Did you say that you couldn't buy happiness with money?

I want to see the expression on that Deputy Chief Nam's face.

Get to the point.

I asked for you to place a bet with me.

Which will those people choose: money, or you?

Your employees, I mean.

Chief Ok isn't the type of person to do that.

I agree. What about you, Deputy Chief Nam?

Huh? Well, I don't know.

But is that really that important?

Exactly! Who cares if she got some extra money? Let's be real.

Without Chief Ok, we never could've launched Pat Pat Serum.

That's true. We still would've been stuck being subcontractors.

Yeah. It's only fair that she was given her bonus first, if she was.

But still, you must be a bit disappointed, Deputy Chief Nam.

You're the one who came up with the formula, after all.

No, not at all.

Yes, Factory Manager. You got the info of an employee from Tava Tech?

Please send me their phone number. Yes.

- Um, are you the one... - Deputy Chief Nam?

Yes.

Did Deputy Chief Nam go somewhere?

I'm not sure. I think he had some work to do, and went out for a bit.

What's Tava Tech? He seemed to be heading out because of that.

Is that right?

It wasn't a normal investment?

- He utilized multiple private loans. - Private loans?

He set up a paper company and received the investment funds

and then dragged loan sharks into the deal.

And with that money, he made the company public and got it merged with another.

And then, it becomes a charge account.

That's how he was able to jump through the hoops to get the company listed.

And then one more thing plays into all of this.

- And that's recapitalization! - Recapitalization?

So what he does is he increases the value of the company by spreading lies

and then increases capital by issuing new stocks.

Then, he uses that capital to get loan sharks involved once more

and then does the same thing to raise the company's value again.

That's how he uses money to make more money.

But how is that possible? Everything's an illusion, then!

Well, that's... he seemed to be aware of that, but was lured in anyway.

The value of the company kept going up, so he was blinded by that.

At any rate, human greed is truly a strange thing.

Common sense flies out the window when people see money.

Um, why did CEO Oh commit suicide?

- It was because of his greed. - Suicide?

How could he commit suicide because of that?

He was overwhelmed with greed, and it eventually consumed him.

And the investor from that time... what was his name, again?

Ji Sang! Lee Ji Sang.

- Lee Ji Sang? - That's why I called him that.

"Lee Ji Sang, Shitty in Reality."

Oh yeah. Didn't you say that your investor's name is Mr. Lee?

It's not Lee Ji Sang, is it?

Oh, of course not! Of course not.

I'm sure that the CEO felt that he had no other choice.

His company went under, and he was left with a ton of private loan debt.

I'm sure that it must have been hard for you.

After that happened to our CEO, life was so hard for all of us employees, too.

Yes. But I heard that there was someone

that persuaded CEO Oh to report this, and press charges back then.

Was that an employee of Tava Tech?

No. At first, it was so strange that none of us could believe it...

but the one who did that was Lee Ji Sang's wife.

Do you remember her name, by any chance?

I think it was Ok Da Jung? Yeah, that's probably it.

She was by the CEO's wife's side during the funeral, so I remember it well.

I heard that she divorced Lee Ji Sang after that happened.

Sheesh. Deputy Chief Nam likes Chief Ok, right?

Why are you saying that?

Just saying. It just appears that way to me.

I don't really know.

What kind of pheromones does she have that all these men are crazy about her?

What do you mean by that? "All these men?"

I really didn't want to bring things like this up, but...

you know, Lovely's financial backer, CEO Lee...

Yes?

He seemed to have fallen head-over-heels for Ok Da Jung, too!

I even heard that he invested in Lovely because of her!

- What? - Isn't that woman so scary?

She can seduce any man that she wants!

She's so scary, seriously.

She's quite a woman, huh?

Those people don't realize your deep, philanthropic ideals

and are just mouthing off because of their own resentment, right?

These are all just rumors, right?

What do you mean?

Oh, it's embarrassing for me to say, but... you, and Chief Ok, um...

Oh, you mean the rumor that she and I were married?

What? M-m-married?

I didn't mention it to you, since it wasn't business-related.

But yes, it is true that we were once married.

The situation back then led to our getting divorced

but that doesn't mean that I no longer have feelings for her.

Wait, so does that mean... that you still have feelings for her?

Want me to make a prediction?

CEO Lee will kick President Jo out of his position soon

and then make his beloved Ok Da Jung the President instead.

No way. That makes no sense.

Well, CEO Lee got HR powers when he invested his money.

President Jo has no power anymore.

No way.

It's pretty much the law of the jungle, really.

It's a man-eat-man world out there.

So if lowly people like us want to live, we have to cower under the shadows

and hide. It may be unfair, but what can we do?

If it's the woman that the investor likes, we just have to go with it. Damn.

How unfair.

Hey, Vice Chief Yang.

Just what is your intention behind saying all these nonsensical things?

What do you mean, my intention?

I'm just stating facts here. Can't you tell from the way things are operating?

The Chief isn't the type of person to do such a thing!

Stop spreading baseless rumors.

Why are you getting so worked up?

What, are you angry because you don't stand a chance against CEO Lee?

What did you say?

Big trouble!

I've been had! I've been fooled!

That's why he approached me! Oh, damn it!

He did all this to try and steal Lovely from me!

That bastard-- ahh!

President! What are you doing right now?

- Please, come to your senses! - Leave me alone!

Don't provoke me. I'm just going to die right here!

President! Please, calm down! Please, relax!

- What are you doing, Deputy Park? - Oh, yes, sir!

- Loosen it! - How is there not even a nail here?

Even if I want to strangle myself, there's no spot I can hang from!

Deputy Park! Loosen it! Hurry!

President! Please, calm down! The Chief wouldn't do that!

She was against you getting this investment from the beginning!

That's how they tricked me! The two of them plotted this together

- and did this to me, punk! - I'm telling you, that's not the case!

Couldn't you tell from the fact that he fired Manager Shin?

I'm done for now. My wife will leave me and those two will take Lovely from me!

You're the one who went loopy for money!

I told you not to lose sight of your real purpose!

I told you to protect this company!

Who's the one who said that they'd handle and take responsibility for everything?

Hey, you're one to talk! Who's the one who was won over by money, now?

You've been planning this since you left Gold and came here!

Does it make you feel better to blame all of this on me?

Then show me proof that you didn't!

Chief!

What are you doing right now, Chief?

Here, I'll just submit my resignation letter, then!

All I have to do is quit! Isn't that right, bastard?

You cowardly bastard!

[Resignation Letter]

[Ms. Temper and Nam Jung Gi]

- What? A merger? - What? A merger?

That's what Chief Ok said! And that's what CEO Lee is after, too.

Are you planning to hand Lovely over to Gold?

That's exactly right. That's exactly what I'm planning.

So let's do it together, Deputy Chief Nam.

So we'll become employees of Gold Chemicals?

I guess you could see it that way.

I can't give up on Lovely. I'll confront Lee Ji Sang, that bastard.

Son--oh. I'm sure I saw the Chief.

If you go and tell anyone that you saw me dancing

I'll kill you.

You're not coming back? This is what we do as of late.

Please come back soon and play with us.

It's not like we've ever fought fights where we had the upper hand.

I'll be waiting for you.

- Oh, hello, everyone! - Oh, it's Bong Gi!

Get it together!
