Level Up

Episode 4

More frustration for this only promise,

more sacrifice, we'll take on as well.

Most of the people in despair is not impossible,

The one speaking now is the CEO?

Yes. But he's not one of us.

What then? This.

I see. Really?

In order to save this company--

Strong ambition. Sounds good.

Don't be agitated by the storm and typhoon,

Trust us and follow our lead.

Wait a minute.

Am I getting a cataract?

There's no way.

I look forward to your kind cooperation.

Welcome!

Ok, then this is our first greeting. Let's slowly get our department greetings later on.

Feel free to go back to your work.

Okay.

What's going on?

Huh?

Nothing.

Excuse me, wait a minute.

Uh? Yeon Hwa.

Han Chul. Why are you here?

Ah right, the company name sounds familiar.

That broken logo, it's yours!

- I got the job.

Yes way.

It was somewhat expected.

In the beginning, Joybuster was in discussion with the restructuring company I work for.

We were talking about terms for take over.

When we visited, we heard about you.

From the previous CEO.

Jo Tae Gu CEO?

In Busan, it is highly likely to run into each other because we're in the smaller game business within the boundary.

Then I...

You're not.

Okay.

If you need any further explanation, I'll explain later.

What's happening.

Yeon Hwa, I'll see you around.

What's happening? I'm getting a headache.

Here are the data you asked for.

General manager, did you meet her in Busan?

It was a coincidence.

That newbie too?

It was collaboration of coincidence and bad fate.

There must be something happened in Busan.

Team leader, what are you doing?

-I'm packing
-What?

The conditions are good when doing early retirement.

How could you decide so suddenly?

You have to leave when the time is right, so there's less burden on the next person.

Section Chief, please stop our Team Leader.

Section chief, what are you doing too?

I have to leave when they tell me to, so I won't be yelled at.

Assistant Manager Shin, you've been appointed as the Team Leader!

What?

As the Team Leader and Section Chief retire, you've automatically been promoted!

Congrats on your promotion!

Seriously? This is not a time to celebrate!

The people that need to go should leave, but you should still celebrate.

Congratulations Team Leader Shin.

Yeah, with your skills and passion,

You're fit to be a team leader, so try to run this place well.

How could I suddenly become a team leader?

Wait! Wait a second, let's do this,

Wait for 3 months til things get normal.

I'm sorry, but even after three years this place will be difficult.

But you don't know that yet.

I shouldn't say this when I am about to leave this company.

I have no regrets after seeing the new CEO.

He has no experience in game industry. How can we expect much from him?

Still...

As a man in finance industry, he will follow the typical step.

Restructure. It's a plausible cause.

Sell what they have to sell, and fire as much as they need.

Is it normal to have the body with the bone only?

So make good decisions guys.

But we still have the new project we were working on.

The company that was supposed to present the project went out of business.

Call me if it gets hard, I'll give you guys a consultation any time.

There are many gaming companys.

Okay, we will contact you soon.

Goodbye.

They were gonna go always, Yeon Hwa.

No, team manager.

Good that it's easy for you.

Don't take it difficult, everyone goes to find their way.

Right, even the CEO who started his business left. How can we stop others?

Right. Can't say more.

What am I?

walking

Hey newbie.

Yes?

Why are you smiling?

Are you excited because it's your first day of work?

I feel like it's gonna be good, and I highly expect things to happen.

Right.

Look there. Do you think those guys didn't smile since birth?

That expectation is just a week.

Still, I'm going to keep smiling while working.

You're highly capable of doing that.

If you work, you go crazy a bit or have a screw loose.

Don't make unnecessary discomfort.

Who do you think I'm explaining this for?

-Newbie
-Yes?

I won't give you any assignment for your trial period.

Get used to the work manual. I'll test you in 3 days.

Yes! Ok.

What about the early retirement?

It's crazy. Too many that there's no one to work.

Don't take any more after today. There's no new hire, get the rest promoted for the empty positions.

Yes, the announcement is up.

There's no need to clean up everything.

We're moving soon. This building has been sold.

We need to organize everything like we have been doing to focus well.

It's always the people who didn't study well that cleaned first.

General Manager Park.

Ok, we can just organize everything.

After the lunch, gather managers in the room.

Ok, I understand.

conference room

How's new project completion rate?

Ah...it's about 60 percent for module construction,

we had an adjustment because there was an issue with the initial date.

But it got better, the development will get done faster.

Design team?

Drawing part is done,

as soon as the details are done, action can be manged.

Yes, once the budget is ready, we will get things started.

60%...

By today, all of the projects from all department..

will be ceased.

What?

What do you mean? Cease?

Wrong wording. Put them into the trash.

Wait, it's done more than half and you are saying to trash them all?

It's big update that we are planning on Pig War Season 2.

Altho we are trying to grab the existing users with their familiar platform,

and expecting to have new users,

but when exec team makes a judgment, it's likely that we will miss both groups.

To conclude, this level update won't be a deal breaker.

To conclude, this level update won't be a deal breaker.

Wait, I guess you don't know much because you're new,

Pig War is an IP with existing users.

At this stage, if we are not using an IP that we built so hard

that's a bigger loss for a company.

The loss isn't big.

The profit from Pig War was less than the maintenance fee.

Pig War 2 is a project that we developed with the expense supplemented by Nexviper,

so if we stop it, there will be a huge storm.(consequences)

But then how was the storm that you faced head-on all this time?

That storm got your company into bankruptcy,

so why be afraid of the consequences now?

You can't continue to go your path just because of what you have built so far.

Honestly the new CEO has a point.

Until recently, the maintenance expense was steady,

but with Nexviper's recent publishing contract renewal

the ratio of profitability has been adjusted. That was the variable.

If we could save 30% except for the profit from the contract with the publisher,

the company could get more stable and consistent profit.

Therefore, Publishing contract with Nexviper will be discontinued.

Ah that's too far.

Hang on. Nexviper is number one nationally as a game publishing company.

We are maintaining our profit because of their support,

if we lose our connection, there might be no future.

Right, I thought through this for a long time.

It wasn't an easy decision to make.

I mean, how long have you been with our company that

you thought this through for a long time?

In three days, you can go to the moon from the earth.

Then which publisher are we going to sign with?

There is no contract. Now we are going to self-publish.

What? Us?

CEO! Publishing is not easy.

It's even harder for us because we don't have any sales experience.

That's important, and that's why we've had partnerships.

So...if we continue to do so,

will it work better?

I don't mean to say so.

Self-publishing is hard, I'm very well aware of it.

However what's the reason not to be successful?

All of you, are you more stupid than them?

Stupid? That's harsh.

It wasn't a conclusion, it was a question.

Do you think you are stupid?

Who? Us?

Then fine, if we are smarter, what's the reason that

we can't get it done?

Right, there's not a reason why we camn't beat them.

Team Manager Yoon. That's not right. What about the shareholders who have waited for the new release?

They will cause a ruckus.

But honestly, I didn't like Nexviper telling us what to do

even down to the character design. I agree!

In the new bottle, we need to make new liquor.

From now on, prepare amazing new products that's not related to Nexviper.

The only way Joybuster can survive is to release new products.

So you still don't agree with me. Fine.

Tonight, after work, through dinner for the entire team,

I will provide an opportunity to communicate more deeply with the employees.

Let's do so. This is the time to get our energy up.

That's it for now. You can leave the room.

Okay. Good job.

So this is how everything unravels.

That was not unexpected.

I had no idea about Nexviper contract dis-renewal.

By the way, Yeon Hwa, when can we make the new liquor?

We have to get it ready quick. We can't let our workers play around.

I'll try to get it done ASAP.

Then Yeon Hwa, cheer up!

You are being a target from the shareholders already, Yeon Hwa will be targeted again.

I know. The reason they're not withdrawing their investment as it is is because of their trust in Nexviper over us.

If we discontinue that contract, there's really no answer at all.

CEO. It's not right.

Did you space out during the meeting? I told you what's not is not.

Now...do you intent to kill me by making the shareholders angry?

I am aware you have been targeted by the shareholders.

You know about it and make that decision so easy?

Do you think it's easy what I do?

Who said it seems easy? It's because you made an important decision so easily.

Was it a compliment about my decision-making?

- What?
- If so, it's not time yet.

Just because the smart CEO joins the company, it won't make everything go well. It won't be late

for you to compliment me after the results come out.

Wait, wait.

Did you not understand what I am trying to say?

I will die if you discontinue our partnership with Nexviper.

I could get dragged out by the shareholders and die without anyone knowing.

So what you're saying is that we should stop the company restructuring because of you alone?

No, I mean it's not just for my sake.

It sounds that way.

A selfish judgment, self-centered thinking.

Keep in mind. If you don't get away from that type of thinking,

I can't acknowledge you as one of Joybuster employees.

What?

If you don't like the company,

even now, please make your escape. We won't hold you.

Live together, die together.

The company is another family. Keep that in mind.

Mastery of disturbance within CRC, level one,

you bring up the other's grounds for an argument first.

- Yes.

Making it seem as though your own personal pain is that of the whole group.

Lastly, level three, not considering your family of co-workers

as your true family.

Oh. What's wrong?

Why would you bring up family all of a sudden?!

Seriously. What? Emergency exit?

Escape?

For whose benefit would I leave? You leave!

I heard there's a team dinner tonight. You'll suggest my place, right?

I'll trust you and get everything ready.

Did she put a listening device in the company?

The CEO said he would acknowledge company dinners as overtime work.

Really? What a great start.

Right? Seriously, I was worried that he looked rigid,

but you never know about people until you deal with them.

Have you really dealt with that man before?

- Now, here's some beer.

Why are you so down?

Don't mention it. I thought it was an eel that only makes mess of the mud,

but an electric eel came in.

But thank god, if your company went down, my place would have gone down, too.

How can you only think about your business at a time like this?

It's normal for you to worry about your company and for me to worry about mine. Right?

Of course, you bet.

Oh, there. The management team is here.

Minus 101 million in 2016.

2017, minus 168 million.

Last year the loss by the second quarter was 101 million. Among the projects that were waiting publishing

fatal mistakes were found.

It's been 30 minutes already.

It's not that he considers company dinner as overtime

but this is just overtime work.

So this is what he calls an opportunity for

deep conversation through dinner with the entire team?

From now on, I will start getting into detail about

the direction we have to take and our goals ahead.

Do you finally understand it? That is why we don't do company dinner with him.

Pass it around.

We should have just gone to the conference room.

I'm sorry.

No, I didn't mean it towards you.

General Manager!

Please speak.

Can we say cheers first? It's a good day after all.

Wait a bit. I still have an important talk left to give.

Wait. Not yet. We're not dogs that are waiting for their food.

Are you going to make us drool in front of chicken and beer for 30 minutes?

I don't mean to. It needs to be heard when you are sober.

Even if get drunk, you'll say something that will wake us right up.

What do you mean?

Because of your actions, this is how things got screwed up.

That's why you need to keep your focus. Isn't that right?

Though the delivery is different, I won't deny we are talking about the same thing.

Therefore, if you are aware you can't just be laid back here tonight,

just hold on a bit, Miss Shin Yeon Hwa.

Hey, if that's his tone, he is a bit annoyed.

- Can't we be a bit laid back?

CEO Ahn Dante?

That's an unexpected attack, his pupils are trembling.

That was not an expected rebuttal.

Even so, does it have to be so serious?

At moments like this, can't we put down our worries

and work in a happy atmostphere while encouraging each other?

The result of working happily while forgetting the crisis,

what was it?

The result?

- As you know--

In the end, we...

Oh, no. We saw the last episode of a drama already.

So what does that mean? Now we don't care to know what happens between the two main characters.

Fine. We went under.

Because a CEO came who doesn't even care one bit about the morale of his employees--

The atmosphere is in the trashcan.

Are you happy?

It was a great counterattack, but that guy won't be sucked in.

So it was a wrong decision.

Joybuster, if the game makers can't have fun, they can't produce games which people can enjoy.

Fine, I acknowledge that.

Of course, it's great if you can work happily, but at a company dinner, just being lackadaisical

and drinking and singing

and dancing, you can't gain basic happiness.

If you want to gain basic happiness--

That means he has found stability.

And what does it mean that he's emphasizing basics? It means it's a perfect attack you can't oppose.

Then now, let's talk about the issue at hand. Let's do a briefing of the report.

Open the report.

- First the basic--

Being lackadaisical at a company dinner can produce basic happiness.

Have you ever played around at the team dinner?

I don't have that kind of team dinner.

If you have never done it, and you are saying that's not happiness?

I mean, I am saying it's fun and it gives me energy.

So why are you telling us it's not genuine feeling when we have felt it?

That's based on sufficient inference and--

What inference? What kind of person he or she is,

you don't know what we like, what we hate, and what we want,

how do you infer that person?

In the world we live, there's such thing as big data.

Instead of big data, why don't you try out a big test?

Do what?

Play around, and see for yourself

if the team dinner is fun or not.

Experience it.

Sing a song, CEO.

CEO, sing a song!

CEO, sing a song!

CEO's pupils are trembling again.

You saw as well?

He didn't expect that pattern at all.

She's more than he imagined. A problematic opponent.

Sing a song!

CEO, sing a song!

CEO, sing a song!

CEO, sing a song!

I know you are intentionally doing this to make me embarrassed.

How the heck can my singing benefit a company?

Right, that was too far.

CEO's singing would not possibly benefit the company.

Stop playing around.

No, General Manager.

I believe it benefits.

Hey, punk. What's wrong with you?

This is my first day.

I'm very nervous, and what if I make a mistake...

Well, I already made a mistake before my first day,

but still, with your one song, I feel like my nervousness would subside.

No. He's not the type to respond just because of one newbie's nerves.

This morning, I met someone I was happy to see.

Thinking about working at the same company with that person made me smile.

People who are here, too, I'm sure

felt similar expectations and excitement as I did.

I would like to continue having that same expectation and excitement well into the future.

So with that said, I believe that your song

can greatly boost the morales of everyone here

including me. I believe firmly.

So General Manager, I ask you to sing one song for us.

Making requests comes naturally to him I see.

Fine. I will sing.

A CEO cannot be the cause of lowering morale.

I will be back after making one call. Start your dinner.

- Oh.

That earlier was just--

- Good shot.

Good shot. Wow, I saw him for nearly 10 years,

but I've never seen him taken aback like that.

Will there be no issues?

Oh... I'm sure there will be.

Don't worry about it.

Now, now, should we all raise our glasses on this history-making night?

For even happier Joybuster!

Cheers!

Let's enjoy it.

Oh, nice.

I'll go make a call.

Yes, Mom.

Oh, we're having a company dinner.

I called because I was worried about your first day.

Listen to your superiors and do well.

Don't worry. I'm not a child.

I'll call you again.

The CEO isn't out here, right?

Yes. I don't see him.

I think I did make a mistake, right?

Wasn't it revenge and not a mistake?

I heard what you said to him in Busan.

Oh, what do you mean revenge?

Well, a little...

Just a little bit, there was a bit of the intention, but...

why did he have to be the new General Manager?

When I had the interview, my heart sank when I saw him.

We both really got started off on the wrong foot.

I don't care. Let's just have fun tonight.

Let's go.

Cheers.

You two are heroes of tonight, so you deserve to get drunk. Here.

Why would you say that?

The mood has been lifted. I don't know how long it's been since we had this sort of mood.

It's been a while since he went outside. He hasn't left has he?

In his life, there's no going, just coming.

He keeps coming. Coming and coming.

I want him to leave but he keeps coming more. Like a nightmare.

What do you mean?

If you spend more time with him, you'll see.

Gwon-To-Joong-Rae.

Four-character idiom?

Gwon-To-Joong-Rae.

He will, for sure, raising dust, come back.

Oh, there, isnt' that...

Really?

Let's go see.

Wow.

That's a wrap.

Done!

You are amazing! Didn't know you are this much amazing.

I won't deny it.

See? I said it'd be fun.

It's not just happiness gained from one song.

What?

What he is saying is that It wasn't fun, but that it became fun because he did well.

- Shin Yeon Hwa.

And Joybuster employees.

Because the CEO unexpectedly change,

he will be sure to just pressure the employees.

What could he possibly know? What could he possibly do?

He will try to take even our joy of work away. That kind of criticism.

I feel it, too.

You don't need to be sorry.

There was the same criticism in all companies.

I have already revived nine companies that was destroyed like this one.

If you want me to respect your abilities,

I ask that you respect my abilities as well.

Then, have a fun dinner.

Let's go in and have a drink.

If you want to have even more fun, the superior has to leave quickly.

Where did you obtain such amazing intelligence?

Then go on home.

Let's go in.

Come on.

Wait a minute.

What is it?

The thing is... still, can't you have at least one drink with us before you go?

I feel bad, too.

Feel bad, too?

I want to talk is what I'm saying.

Didn't you try to get me to sing because you didn't like me talking?

It wasn't like that.

Then what was it?

Let's talk inside.

If you have something to say, say it here.

But it's a little... Let's go in and talk over a drink.

There's nothing great that could come by being drunk.

Do you have to always argue about everything?

It's the opposite.

If you had given me a satisfactory answer first, I wouldn't have asked again.

About last time, too, I didn't get to apologize properly yet.

We'll see each other a lot, so we shouldn't have any ill-will towards each other.

There are relationships where you have to keep seeing each other even with ill-will existing.

If you have nothing more to say, I'll get going.

How can you be so...

It's perfect for getting emotionally distressed, right?

Hello.

Hi, we meet again.

Why are you here?

Why? Didn't you call begging for--

All...

Everything has been taken care of, so you can go now.

It's amazing.

I suggested to him that taking on a game company might be fun even though he didn't want to.

He really did.

You never know about people.

I also didn't think I would see both of you again like this.

I didn't take it on because of you.

Then if you're done with him, I'll take him with me.

It's okay, right?

It's my body. Who are you getting permission from?

Then I'll see you again.

Yes, good-bye.

Thank you, Boss.

These are new people. Management?

Yes.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, yes.

Boss, I'm sorry, but what's your name?

It's Mi Ja. Oh Mi Ja.

Yeon Hwas is my troublemaker friend, so she holds company dinners here a lot.

Mi Ja... Oh Mi Ja.

You have a way of making people feel drunk.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Team Leader Park Gil Woo of the newly formed management team.

You can say that I'm an influential person

of the management team.

Influential person... Then is that like a corporal?

Oh, my younger brother is still in the army.

I see. No, no. It's not that but higher.

More like a sergeant.

Then you're a soldier and the General Manager is executive?

Well, it's not like that really.

Military reserve who is on top of non-commissioned officer and army officer?

You're funny.

But I don't like people who talk about the army after drinking.

Anyway, come often.

Yes.

Oh, your suit looks great on you.

Really?

Thank you.

You're giving me hot and cold water at our first meeting.

Thank you for helping out.

You told me you'd never make a request of me again.

And you're responding to your employees so enthusiastically.

I had a need to quieten the unneeded public sentiment.

But still, how can you use your only request on one song for your company dinner?

It wasn't just one simple song.

It's a killing point for change in attitude.

Why aren't you going to school?

You're only playing games.

- Come on.
- What?

I'll get going.

PC room

What?

You came all the way here, to play?

Who is he?

Someone I have to keep seeing even though there's ill-will.

I didn't know you had such a cool younger brother.

I didn't butt into your date, have I?

Be quiet.

I can't even talk.

It's not a date, but you did butt in.

But if you're a high schooler, do you like idols?

Next week, J has a concert. Do you want an invitation?

Really? I would love it.

That's for celebs who can make it go viral.

It's a waste of a seat to give it to someone who doesn't even help me 0.1%.

Don't butt in. I'm the one in charge.

Hun, you'll go, right?

Of course.

I was bored, so that's great.

Do you want one, too?

I don't have time to enjoy concerts.

So that's why you sang at a company dinner like that?

"CEO Bae, please, help me with the song."

What? You act like you're all class,

but you even went to a karaoke I see.

Don't make up things.

What do you mean?

Did you or didn't you?

Don't go overboard.

I didn't say it with that pathetic tone.

I have a recording, though.

Hun, you want a listen?

Really?

Let him hear what?

Stop it.

You get flustered, too?

What do you mean... I got flustered?

Your ears are red.

I said be quiet.

Why do you tell him off when I started it?

I know.

So please, let's go quietly.

Did you record it?

What?

Did you really record it?

Why would I?

You got nervous.

Be careful going home.

Noona, we'll have to see each other often.

This person needs a strong enemy.

You won't see him again. Go home.

Try going to a library even just once.

See how wasteful it is to spend time at a game room when people don't even want to waste time on eating.

You'll realize that.

Can't you stop nagging?

Should I call that Noona again?

I'm telling you not to try and hold onto me.

You dismiss me subtly.

I'm being directed like this,

so it's easy to dismiss you who thinks it's subtle.

I'll make this clear.

I'll earn more than you no matter what.

Before you do, wash your feet.

It doesn't smell.

But is money the only thing you can win against me?

It won't be able to dismiss me for too much longer, so wait and see.

I don't even want to see now, so why wait and see?

I should stop talking.

Should I tell you how to easily make money?

Do you want to know?

Study hard. That kind of stuff?

Anyone who tells you that they can tell you how to earn money easily just like I did,

be careful of those people since people like you are a target.

I know that much.

Do I look that dumb?

Something more dumb is

expecting that money will give you an upgrade.

You have no hope there.

He's the only one who's great, of course.

It's like a drama.

What are you trying to start now?

The man you met while traveling, you met at work as a co-worker.

It's like a romance drama.

It's psycho drama. Are you kidding?

It's a fantasy drama. Are you kidding?

A capable General Manager and young and cute new co-worker.

I don't like Cinderella, and I dislike Candy (manga character) even more.

It's better than a nonsense drama.

Right, you wouldn't know anything about the females leads' issues in nonsense dramas.

What are you talking about?

There was a phone call.

Who? That jerk? Why?

He just drunk called me.

Even in that situation, he called out a different girl's name.

Hey! Why did you answer the phone call, then?

It's fun.

It's so entertaining being in the middle of a ridiculous relationship.

True, it seems that living will slowly become more fun, too.

Good morning!

Good morning.

Sorry for making you wait. Sorry.

Hello, this is the management support team.

The shareholder meeting? We don't have a date set yet, but we'll notify you as soon as it's set.

Yes. I'm sorry. Oh, seriously.

Hello. Hi.

Oh, come and take some calls. Tell them nothing is set and to wait.

- Yes.

Hello, it's Joybuster.

How can you answer each and every call? Disconnect them all.

Yes.

General Manager, we're going to have to make a decision soon. People are up in arms.

Good morning!

♫ The season for shareholders are back! ♫

♫ We have to go and get grabbed by our hair. ♫

It might have been better to go public (listed on stock exchange), but we attached a respirator for no reason...

But isn't it better that we stopped it from becoming public?

Going public isn't always good.

We have to manage stocks periodically and put out notices.

Gotta lead a general meeting of stockholders, it's more works for us.

Previously, we dealt with abolishment of listing,

we put a respirator on for the time being since the conditions to go public became complicated.

Have you contacted the Listed Companies Association?

Yes, it's still before the announcement.

Great!

Let's get some otherworldly energy come through us for a change!

Bring the calendar.

Yes, sir!

27th!

31st!

No no no no no, 27th!

31st!

What are they doing?

They're trying to guess when should be the Super Shareholder Meeting Day.

Super Shareholder Meeting Day?

Look.

When the stocks go down, what will the shareholders do?

If it goes down? They will panic.

Right. So then what will we have to do?

We'll have to prevent that panic.

Right? So then we have to make it so that the shareholders can't come to the meeting.

People who deal with stocks don't only invest in one.

So on the same day at the same time, we hold a meeting.

Super Shareholder Meeting Day.

Trust me this time!

The 27th is a Friday!

According to the Road Traffic Authority,

from 7 AM to 9 AM on Monday, the average speed of cars are 24.9 km,

the time when there's the most traffic.

The chances of rain that day is 30%.

A rainy Monday morning, it's game over.

Since we're guessing at it anyway, let's go with my instinct this time!

Do you want to hold the gavel?

Huh?

No, no.

Chief Song, just send a notice for the 30th!

Monday is a great day with lots of traffic!

Yes, understood!

What does he mean by gavel?

You're holding a hammer, but a shareholder is upset.

And they took your hammer. What will happen?

Took it? Oh, it's so savage!

Right, it's not easy.

Oh, General Manager, it will be held in the construction hall's seminar room like last year, right?

Make it the convention room of the new business center.

Pardon? Where's that?

But when will we move?

We told them to move out by next week. We'll leave before then.

But with a pool and a buffet,

if you say we're leaving from a paradise where they had free roam,

I think it will lower the morale of the employees.

We cant' take away the candy we gave them already.

We'll keep the facilities the same as now.

Is that possible with the budget?

Are you asking me?

Of course, general manager, you can do it.

Let's give an early applause.

[ Rice Cake ]

Honey rice cake is nice and warm.

Since I'm going far, please pack it well so it doesn't dry out.

Yes.

You must be so happy that your son got into a great company.

Of course.

He was always sharp since he was little.

If you teach him one thing, he knew ten.

The new business hall's interiors are getting done and has an open-door policy.

It will be done by this weekend,

so prepare to move the teams according to schedule.

What's an open-door policy?

Open management.

What's being openly managed?

That--

By sharing information and devices,

we will make the communication better with the members.

Also, these are the main points for restructuring.

Please maintain the current games only until the publishing contract ends,

there are no plans for updates.

- Re--

Restructuring?

Rearranging things to take out and put in in the business model.

What are we taking out?

We've decided to change our core business to putting out new games,

so we'll end all the services that were being provided for...

Manager Park, have the legal team draw up the Nexviper contract termination papers.

Yes.

You heard it, right? Get it done.

Pardon? I was talking to him, so I didn't hear it.

Right.

Hey, Newbie.

I'm sorry.

You obtain the Nexviper termination contract papers.

Do it yourself.

It's important.

Ah, yes.

It's important, so...

It's important.

But we can service the new projects separately.

Why do we have to terminate the contract with Nexviper?

Nexviper has a say in all the games produced by Joybuster.

So first we have to get rid of that in order to--

Is this school?

We tell you one thing and you forget 10 other things and make us explain every little thing!

I'm sorry.

You have to quickly assess and understand!

Can't you get a sense for how things are going just by feel?

I'm sorry. I'll be back after taking this call.

It's mom.

You do it then.

Yes.

The saying goes you can assess a tree by its leaves.

Something about hiring him just didn't sit well with me!

You understand me now?

You hired him.

How I felt when the Chairman brought you to me the first time.

That hopeless can't even be compared to the newbie.

It's totally different than how I remember it.

I thought you had great faith in me.

Are you laughing?

No.

Yes?

I told you you don't have to. They provide lunch.

That's not food but affection.

I got it. I'll enjoy it.

Give some to the General Manager first.

Yes. Get home safe.

Okay, bye.

Would you mind signing your name here?

Sure.

Yes, I understand. I'll see you there.

General Manager!

What is it? Do you have the plan ready?

No, I have something to discuss with you.

I have to go out. We'll talk when I get back.

We have no time either. We can't get started on it until we agree on the direction of our plans with you.

Follow me.

Where are you going?

Where are we going?

We need to have a meeting, so come with me.

General Manager!

What is it?

Have some of this.

What is it?

It's honey rice cakes my mom sent to me. She said to eat it before it becomes stale.

I love rice cakes.

Can I have one too, Han Cheol?

Sure!

We're not going on a picnic. Take this back.

Yes. I'm sorry.

How can you be so heartless?

Did you want to eat rice cakes that badly?

It's not that. You know what Han Cheol's mom felt as she sent them to him.

It's a bribe.

How are rice cakes a bribe?

- People usually call bribes a sweetener. (sounds like rice cakes)

Should grant you an award of integrity.

Let's start the meeting. Give me the briefing.

Here?

Why? Is there a problem?

It's not making a game that I want

but I have to want a game that was newly made.

It sounds similar, but they mean totally different things.

I know.

Since your taste in games is part of the research requirement,

tell me the genre that you like.

I don't have a preference.

You don't have any fun games you like?

No, I don't.

You do want to develop games, right?

Not all top students enjoy studying.

Do you not like games by chance?

No, I don't.

How can you say that you don't like games so confidently?

Is that a problem when developing games?

It is a problem! Of course it's a problem!

I can overcome that with effort.

They say that effort can't win over someone who actually enjoys something.

And we have to be someone who enjoys games.

I can't agree to that.

Aren't you having too much trust in your abilities?

Again, the wording is wrong.

I am capable, therefore I trust it.

What capabilities? Are you good at games?

I can win against you.

You know that I'm the daughter of a game seller, right?

I know.

Fine. Then let's play against each other on whatever game it is

and if you win even one game, I'll acknowledge what you're saying.

The fact that you will acknowledge because you won against me

is uncool to begin with.

Just say you have no confidence.

Bring me whatever game it is, I'll go against you.

Okay. You got it.

But didn't you say we're going to the new business center?

The weather is nice at least.

What is there that's not nice?

Of course.

Our new business center

has varied amenities that surpass what we have in our current building.

We have an outside pool that's accessible at any time,

a fitness center that has all the equipment you could want.

A rest area for all the employees.

A walking trail that will rid of all the frustrations as well?

I knew you would like it.

Also, as an additional work benefit,

we have a watersport area as well.

It's very... different.

It's nice, but wouldn't this be too far for everyone to commute out to?

According to the survey taken of all the workers in Seoul, the average commute time is 101 minutes,

and the subway from Gangnam to Yangpyeong also takes 101 minutes.

So it's an average number that should cause no issues.

Then what about the hotel-like buffet that upped the satisfaction rates of our employees?

That also you don't need to worry about.

The organic farm that will take care of their healthy meals is waiting for you.

Look around for a bit. I'll go do my work.

It's surprising he gave this decision a considerable amount of thought...

Looks good.

Sweetness is best when it comes to relieving the stress.

This is an illness.

You need to meet the deadline.

As long as the bolts are set, the rest is easy.

Okay.

What are you going to do with the outside wall?

Keeping it clean would be good aesthetically.

That's okay. If you finish the requested projects well--

Oh! Bees!

Bees!

Help! Help!

Oh, Miss! Don't come this way!

Go away, go away!

- Go away!

Can you swim?

I don't know!

To the water!

- I'm gonna hold you!

Credits Team

Level Up

You only have one chance.

By chance, are you brothers?

You punk!

You punk!

Why didn't you tell me?

Then I'll make you nervous again.

But there's something you don't know.

That I'm so thankful to you right now.

General Manager!
