(Episode 94)
Hello?
The chairman would like to see you.
You want to see me?
You and your father must be punished...
for the crimes you've committed.
Why do you want the documents on Yangji Pharmaceuticals?
To hold him accountable.
Who?
You know who.
You still have the documents, right?
Yes, I have them somewhere safe.
He wouldn't...
You wanted to see me?
So you did come to work.
I didn't see you at the inauguration,
so I thought you didn't come in.
Did you expect me to go and applaud you?
Come and sit.
I wanted to give you a chance before the board meeting.
A chance?
A chance to resign with honor.
Resign?
I...
looked through Yangji Logis' financial statements all night.
Nothing has changed.
You know I started as an accountant.
The numbers kept bothering me.
"This isn't right."
What are you getting at?
Do you plan to audit Logis as you did in 1997?
I understand since that is your origin,
but you're a chairman now, so act like one.
Don't do calculations while reading someone else's ledgers like a loser.
Do you even know how to read financial statements?
From the moment I was born,
I was raised to become the king of Yangji.
You and I have completely different origins.
My father, the previous chairman,
Chairman Choi Tae Joon said this.
Learn how to read ledgers.
Why must I...
You must know numbers if you're going to manage a business.
You need to know what those numbers mean.
Do you really think I can't read financial statements?
That's a relief.
I was afraid you wouldn't understand what I say.
I guess I can say this since you know how to read them.
What are you trying to say?
Yangji Pharmaceuticals' accounting fraud is insane.
What does that have to do with me?
I'm the president of Logis, not Pharmaceuticals.
That's not right.
Logis is Pharmaceuticals' largest shareholder.
Pharmaceuticals committed...
serious accounting fraud before Logis went public.
What is he talking about?
You seriously inflated Pharmaceuticals' income...
in order to increase Logis' value.
Don't you know what accounting fraud is?
Why wouldn't I know?
Shi Wol taught me so well.
What are we studying today?
We will study fraudulent accounting.
Fraudulent accounting?
Then you must know well.
Shi Wol is great at teaching others.
Stop talking gibberish and get to the point.
I told you.
I'm giving you a chance.
Step down as the president of Logis yourself.
What?
If Pharmaceuticals' accounting fraud is uncovered,
Logis and Pharmaceuticals,
and even the Group will take a hit.
As the chairman, I can't just let that happen.
So, resign on your own...
before the board meeting.
Logis is my company.
Who are you people to fire me?
You caused the company a loss.
You should take responsibility.
I won't let the company be ruined because of you any longer.
And what if I refuse?
You'd give me no choice.
I'll propose your dismissal at the board meeting.
Choi Kwang Il,
I'll remove you as president of Yangji Logis.
Understand?
So step down on your own before then...
if you don't want to get fired.
Kim Yoo Wol, how dare you...
How dare you do this to me?
I'm home.
Good. Grandfather's waiting for you.
Okay.
Finally, you became...
Yangji's chairman.
Yes.
As I said to your mom already,
I can die a happy man now.
Yoo Wol,
you are our chairman. Now, all that remains...
is for Yangji to flourish.
If you had been inaugurated...
as Jang Yoo Wol...
instead of Kim Yoo Wol,
I would've been over the moon,
but since you didn't change your last name yet,
there's nothing we can do.
So...
change your last name right away.
I will.
And add Ji Min to your family registry.
Okay?
I will.
I heard Kwang Il is refusing to get a divorce.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of that for you.
I have something...
to tell the both of you.
I plan to remove Kwang Il...
as president...
of Yangji Logis.
You'll remove Kwang Il?
Yes. I wanted to ask you for your thoughts...
before proposing it to the board.
Do that. Well...
Now that Tae Joon stepped down,
so should Kwang Il.
What about the reason for his dismissal?
His negligent management...
and Yangji Pharmaceuticals' accounting fraud.
Yangji Pharmaceuticals' accounting fraud?
Yes. Did you know about it?
Logis is the largest shareholder of Yangji Pharmaceuticals.
I know that.
Actually, Logis inflated the sales figures of Yangji Pharmaceuticals...
since Logis has the most of their shares...
in order to raise its own value.
What? Are you saying you increased their sales figures...
through fraudulent accounting?
Yes.
I didn't know.
I see.
Say you remove Kwang Il as president.
How will you resolve the accounting fraud matter?
I'll fix it.
It'll impact the entire group substantially.
Still, I don't think we can keep hiding it.
Rather than letting an outsider cut us open,
we should set it straight ourselves.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
You've had a long day. You should go rest.
Okay.
Goodnight.
Goodness.
Be understanding.
Yoo Wol comes from a different generation than you.
I'm sure he'll do a good job.
I won't forgive you.
I'll destroy all of you.
Yangji, which you are trying to protect...
I'll destroy it myself...
and I'll rebuild it myself.
You incompetent fools shouldn't own it.
All you do is bleed people dry.
I'll drive all of you out.
So that's why...
he became chairman although he didn't want to.
To tear down Yangji...
that I had built.
If this gets out,
Kwang Il will lose Logis as well.
Yangji's stock, which had plummeted because of Tae Joon and Father...
rose to the top today.
Really? Did something happen?
What?
Yoo Wol became chairman.
That's what happened.
Is Yoo Wol that great?
He is. I was shocked too.
We were branded as being unethical because of Choi Tae Joon,
so I was afraid our company would go under,
but ever since Yoo Wol's inauguration,
it made a complete 180.
His abilities...
are recognized both domestically and internationally.
It's only natural.
Thank goodness. That's so great.
But you know,
there are people voicing concern cautiously within the company.
Why?
You heard his speech today.
He said there will be much change at Yangji.
Since a new chairman was inaugurated,
naturally, the opposition feels uncomfortable.
It may be a generation gap.
Like the gap between you and us.
What was that?
I've never once felt a generation gap with you.
Don't be absurd.
Anyway,
what will you do about that woman Duk Shil?
That's right. Yoo Wol isn't the problem,
Duk Shil is.
If you don't get rid of her immediately,
it's obvious she'll go around disgracing the Yangji family.
So what do you propose?
We should make her leave on her own.
Exactly how?
Abusive in-laws.
That's good.
That's a great idea.
Abusive in-laws.
I'm fine, Mother.
It's Grandfather's orders.
Grandfather?
That's right.
Breakfast isn't just about eating, you know.
Not only are you family,
but you're also our company's executive.
So don't avoid it,
and sit at the table like before.
Okay, I'll do that.
Hi, Shi Wol.
Hello.
I'm glad you're here.
I heard you've been eating with Ji Min.
There's no need.
You belong here more than anyone.
That's not right.
As you see, Chairman Choi and Kwang Il aren't here.
Shi Wol must feel uncomfortable.
I wouldn't be able to eat by myself without my husband...
and father-in-law.
The outsider is trying to oust an insider.
Shi Wol sat here and ate with us...
for 12 years.
Who do you think you are?
I'm not the only newcomer. So is he.
Listen, Ji Eun.
How dare you say that to the chairman and his wife?
Shut it!
Please, be quiet.
Okay.
I plan to attend the ceremony for the opening of the 500th store.
What about you, Mother?
Really?
In that case, I'll go too.
I'll go as well.
You will?
Yes.
Why would you go there?
I want to attend the subsidiaries' events.
Then I'll go too.
We can attend as husband and wife.
No.
You have things to do here today.
- Me? - That's right.
It's something every daughter-in-law of Yangji must do.
It's what Shi Wol and I learned when we first got married.
So don't think about going to someone else's opening ceremony,
and receive daughter-in-law training here.
Really?
I will, then.
You'll remove Kwang Il as Logis' president?
Yes.
I don't know if that punk will go quietly.
What could he do? The board wants to remove him.
Good thinking.
What did he do that you're firing him?
Stay out of it.
Why do you keep telling me to stay out of it?
Okay. Fine.
I'll explain why Kwang Il must be removed...
as president.
How did you run your business...
that you lost 10 million dollars in a year?
I'm sorry, Grandfather.
I mean... You have only 20 employees.
What did you do?
Consider it a good experience.
Come to the company and learn business management.
That gets me to my point.
I want to close my Internet business and start an investment business.
Every venture you invested in is failing.
The angry shareholders are barging into Yangji headquarters...
and protesting when we had nothing to do with it.
That's nothing.
What about the billion-dollar loss he caused...
because of the put options when he acquired Construction...
three years ago?
Seriously, everything he touches turns to ash.
That takes skills.
No matter how big a problem he caused,
Choi Tae Joon pulled all sorts of strings to protect him,
but there's no one to protect him now.
We must get rid of him because he causes us more losses.
Then do you all agree to propose Choi Kwang Il's dismissal...
at the board meeting?
Yes, I agree.
Of course.
Okay, then. I'll proceed as discussed.
What is this?
Open them if you want to know.
Why are you...
Why else? You need to go through your training.
Make 100 servings of loach soup.
What?
Don't be shocked.
Shi Wol and Ji Eun learned how to make loach soup...
as soon as they got married.
Is it a special day? Why do we need 100 servings?
Yoo Wol was just inaugurated as chairman.
We need to invite people over.
Since your mother had a restaurant,
you must be better than Shi Wol or me.
I had to sit outside in the garden...
in the dead of summer...
and clean loaches. I thought I was going to die.
Plus, the loaches kept running away onto the grass,
so I had to catch them.
I thought I was going to faint.
Work hard.
- Let's go, Ji Eun. - Yes, Mother.
You don't know anything.
I'm an expert at prepping loaches.
Do you think my mom served only moray eel soup?
She served loach soup too.
But Tae Yang,
you're going to Shi Wol's event, is that it?
Without me.
You guys are dead.
We will proceed with the tape cutting.
1, 2, 3!
We made the 500th store...
a combination of a cafe and clothing store.
We hope to give customers a different experience...
by letting them rest and shop comfortably at a cafe.
It's big and nice.
Come this way.
This is the cafe.
Thanks for making time in your busy schedule.
Not at all.
Because we have you and Shi Wol, I don't worry...
about Yangji Corporation and especially Tturu Tturu.
It's because Mother is such a good leader.
What do you mean?
Ms. Yoon played a huge part in making it what it is today.
She took over when things were tough,
and made Tturu Tturu the top company.
Stop it. You're embarrassing me.
It's all true.
Anyway, I have faith...
that the two of you...
will lead Yangji and our family well.
Okay. She and I will lead Yangji and our family well...
as you say.
(500th Store Opening Gift)
Hello.
These are rice cakes to celebrate the 500th store.
Enjoy if with your coffee. Okay, then.
Good. I was getting hungry.
Should we taste the rice cakes?
Are you okay, Mother?
Why is Duk Shil...
Hey, Ki Joon.
Are you looking for Duk Shil?
Duk Shil?
She was here?
Yes. She dumped that and ran.
Who was it? Who did this?
How did Duk Shil end up like that?
She needs professional help.
The workers had to run around...
catching loaches in the store.
How could she do that at our grand opening?
One loach can taint an entire river.
Did she go to announce that's she's a loach?
I think...
something is not right with her.
In what way? Don't tell me...
Has she gone cuckoo?
I think so.
Loach soup is the best...
in cold weather like this.
It's delicious.
I guess...
I inherited my mom's cooking skills.
Let's talk after dinner.
Okay.
Can you use the divine power that you honed here...
to kick out the evil energy within Duk Shil...
out of her?
I went hiking up the mountain to enjoy the foliage,
and the hawthorns were nice and red.
I knew I shouldn't pick them,
but I picked just one.
Here. It's to thank you...
for the loach soup.
It's pretty.
Back in the day, people would have loach soup in the fall,
put a hawthorn in their hair and climb high...
and look toward their hometown.
They thought the red of the hawthorn...
kicked out evil energy, thus evil spirits.
Really?
Do you want to go up the mountain with me?
The foliage is beautiful right now.
Red hawthorn in white hair.
It's pretty.
What are you doing?
Didn't you hear?
Our ancestors ate loach soup and put hawthorns...
in their hair.
Go to Bukhan Mountain like that tomorrow.
Looking at your eyes,
you're filled with evil energy.
Let's go to the hospital tomorrow.
What hospital?
You know.
The doctor said I was fine.
That's why I want to see for myself whether or not you are.
You say you're fine.
So go and prove it to me.
Fine.
But once we confirm it,
don't say that ever again.
Fine.
Promise me.
I will.
(Sanil Blessings Hospital)
I heard she was examined last time.
Yes.
Was she really normal?
Yes.
She showed signs of slight depression,
but it wasn't that bad.
However, her mother, who came with her, was seriously ill.
But she never came back.
How is she?
See? I was right.
My mom ended up running away from home.
She should've received treatment.
I believe it's impossible to diagnose after one examination.
So...
please run another examination thoroughly today.
Okay, I'll do that.
Choi Duk Shil and guardian. Please come in.
What does it say?
Tell us.
Once again,
there is nothing unusual in the test results.
What? You ran so many tests.
But there's nothing wrong?
That's right.
See? I was right.
If you suspect me again, I won't forgive you.
Is she...
really fine?
My husband will ask to have me tested.
Tell him I'm fine.
I can't do that.
What are you doing?
Look at it first and then give me your answer.
If you just tell him I'm fine,
you can live well for years without working.
Aren't you sick of being holed up in this tiny room...
and dealing with crazies 12 months a year?
Yes, in my opinion,
your wife is completely fine.
Hello?
I'm Im Mi Ran. My daughter and I went to get examined not long ago.
My daughter's name is Choi Duk Shil.
Yes, hello.
Did she...
go since then?
Yes.
She came with her husband today.
She did?
How is my daughter?
She's fine?
That's not possible.
You took away the chairman position,
and now you want to take this too?
Like I'd let you?
Hello.
Mr. Choi Kwang Il is here.
He is?
I'm terribly sorry.
Please forgive me.
I was just so angry.
I did it out of rage. I didn't know what I was doing.
I would never report you to the police.
I was about to lose everything. Naturally, I've lost my mind.
So...
I lost my temper. That's why I did it.
I didn't mean it.
Do you mean it?
Of course.
Fine.
Then...
do you forgive me?
Sure.
I'll forgive you.
Thank you.
Thank you, Grandfather.
In exchange,
I have a favor to ask you too.
Divorce Shi Wol...
and forfeit your parental rights over Ji Min.
If you do that,
I'll forgive you.
(A Place in the Sun)
Why are you doing this to me?
Then where do I belong?
Who did such a heinous thing at someone's sacred place of business?
Stop talking nonsense...
and stuff your face.
How will you let that woman have her way?
If you hesitate any longer, everything will be a mess.
Let's get rid of what we must.
Fire me if you want.
But you'll be cursed out if you fire me.
You're mistaken if you think I'll let you have your way.
I will not be magnanimous toward you or your father.
