(Episode 104)
Congratulations, Vice President Han Min Hyuk.
Congratulations, Min Hyuk.
Congratulations, son.
I've been waiting for this day for years.
Come in.
Who sent that?
It's from Director Song.
He's totally on your side now.
Yes. Having his full support...
is like having an army of soldiers backing you up.
Very soon, Noyu will become all yours.
Absolutely.
Thanks, all of you.
Did Chairwoman Yeon accept the painting?
Of course, she did.
She was being all difficult at first,
but she now knows who has the upper hand.
I'm so proud of you, my dear son.
Jae Hyuk.
Director Song ended up siding with Min Hyuk.
I know. I wonder what he did to win him over.
What do you think Yeon Su did to persuade him?
He wouldn't be swayed by money,
so she must've used something else.
Anyway, she's really something.
She did everything in her power to get her husband promoted.
Jae Hyuk, don't be too disheartened. Cheer up.
Yes. You did your best, Jae Hyuk.
You'll have another opportunity.
It's okay. I won't fall apart like this.
- Okay. Let's clink our glasses. - All right.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
This is the most delicious champagne I've ever had.
Mom, thanks for everything.
Don't mention it. I can do anything for you, son.
Find a good time to talk to your dad.
Director Park needs to return to the head office.
We can't have him move boxes at the warehouse forever.
Okay.
You don't need to go out of your way to help me.
I'm helping you because I need you.
Okay.
Thanks for all your hard work.
No problem.
Ms. Hwang, you're really amazing.
You managed to persuade that stubborn man, Director Song.
I think he was moved by my sincerity.
Thanks for everything.
No problem.
Yes, this wouldn't have been possible without your help.
Keep it up and continue to take good care of Min Hyuk.
I will, Mother.
This is for you.
What is this?
It's a ring.
I reset one of my rings for you.
It's my favorite ring.
You're...
giving me this?
Mother.
- Would you like a glass of water? - Sure.
Okay.
Thank you.
Isn't it exhausting to work at the warehouse?
No, it's okay.
Min Hyuk will eventually realize how much you care about him.
That's not why I'm doing all this for him.
If I can protect him,
I don't care what happens to me.
I'm always amazed by how much you love your son.
I envy him sometimes.
For receiving this kind of unconditional love.
I'm an orphan, so I've never experienced being loved like this.
You have me now.
Think of me as your father from now on.
- Director Park. - You did a great job this time.
Oh, right. I took care of that bar girl.
You don't need to worry about her anymore.
Thank you.
Now, you must win him back so that he'll never be tempted again.
Okay.
I'm sorry for everything.
I was too harsh on you.
I know I can be where I am today thanks to all your help.
Thank you.
Does this mean you believe me now?
Min Hyuk.
Mom, see you later.
Have a great day, Mr. Vice President.
Don't call me like that at home.
See you later.
See you later, Mother.
All right, have a good day.
See you later, Grandma.
See you.
All right, let's go.
- Okay. - Oh, just a second.
Let's go.
You chased after Director Song...
and managed to make Han Min Hyuk the VP of the company.
I achieve everything I set my mind to.
So you'd better behave yourself if you want to keep your position.
Do you know that the winds are stronger higher up?
Don't you worry.
I'm more than ready to deal with those "winds".
Okay, I hope you get to the top.
That way, the descent will be more painful.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
The party will end soon.
Since you are now the vice president of the company,
you must watch your conduct.
Yes, I'll do my very best to make sure I never let you down.
All right.
Sir.
Can you please forgive Director Park?
He's been with the company for dozens of years,
and he assisted you for many years.
No, I can't do that.
He deliberately framed your brother because of his personal grudge.
And your sister-in-law almost went to jail because of that.
He is deeply regretting what he did.
- Please forgive him... - Be quiet.
Get out at once if that's what you're here to say.
(Vice President Han Min Hyuk)
I finally made it this far.
However, I certainly can't be satisfied with this.
Come in.
Congratulations, Mr. Vice President.
Thank you. This wouldn't have been possible without your help.
Don't mention it. Well, sir.
You should take this as a chance to solidify your position within Noyu.
Yes, I should.
I must produce visible results.
How about we sell our kids' line on the shopping channel?
The home shopping industry is growing rapidly these days.
If we land the right opportunity, it'll be Noyu's turning point.
The shopping channel...
It's a good idea, but...
An acquaintance of mine works in the industry.
Shall I see if we can get some help?
Is this person trustworthy?
He even has broadcasting rights over foreign channels.
I'll talk to him.
Will you? Then find out more details and let me know.
Sure.
Mr. Choi knows someone like that?
The home shopping industry is very promising.
If we can expand into other regions in Asia, we shouldn't hesitate.
If we do manage to expand into other Asian countries,
everyone will acknowledge my capabilities.
Yes.
Make sure you land this deal no matter what.
Prove that you're much more capable than Jae Hyuk is.
Then Noyu will be all yours, without a doubt.
You must make Noyu yours no matter what.
Yes, I should.
"Vice President Han Min Hyuk".
(Vice President Han Min Hyuk)
You should lose "Vice" soon.
Yes.
Director Song's wife?
Yes, she apologized for not being able to keep her promise.
She called me just now.
What else did she say?
They have a daughter with a disability,
and her teacher, who she was very fond of, suddenly quit.
And Yeon Su managed to persuade that teacher to come back.
That's why they couldn't say no to Yeon Su.
Exactly.
Hwang Yeon Su... That's why she punctured my tire...
and met with Director Song that day?
She really baffles me.
She'd do anything and everything to achieve her goals.
Eventually, she'll have to pay for everything she's done.
It's too soon to be disappointed.
I will show Director Song and the other board members...
that I am still solidly competent.
Yes, you should.
How did Director Han get promoted as vice president?
Jae Hyuk was doing a great job. Why demote him...
and give that position to his brother?
I mean, Jae Hyuk is the eldest son. Gosh, it makes me so angry.
So? Chairman Han did nothing and just let it happen?
Mom, it's not up to him to decide these things.
The board members discussed it and made the decision together.
Really? Still...
Jae Hyuk must be so upset. My goodness.
Gosh, what's wrong with that tenant?
What happened?
I ran into him in front of the house just now,
and he tried to make a move on me.
- He did? - Yes.
"Pretty lady, we meet again." That's what he said.
- Gosh, I'm so annoyed. - What?
He did this to me the other day too.
"I'll see you often."
Then he even winked at me.
What is the matter with him?
Mom, tell Mr. Seo to move out at once.
Gosh, why are you guys being like this?
He usually keeps to himself. I like him.
What on earth do you like about him?
He's quiet. He's out all day and only comes home to sleep.
He never asks for anything,
and he always eats out.
It's not easy to find a tenant like him.
There's something very dark about him.
Really? I've never met him.
What are you talking about? He seems friendly.
You shouldn't judge people like that.
Come in.
The CEO of the home shopping network would like to meet you.
- Really? - Yes.
They've been on the lookout for a good kids' line.
I've already set up a meeting.
At the Japanese restaurant across the street, in an hour.
Okay, well done.
I'd like to sell our kids' line on a home shopping network.
(Chairman Han Tae Seok)
- A home shopping network? - Yes.
I just had a meeting with the CEO of a network that even has...
exclusive broadcasting rights over other Asian countries.
I pitched the idea to him, and he responded positively.
Then try it out.
Okay.
- A home shopping network? - Yes.
It's Min Hyuk's first real project after his promotion.
He just got promoted, and he's already so eager.
Because he has to prove himself to Dad and the board members.
I'm meeting with the board members later today.
Really? That's great.
Yes.
I should revise this plan before the meeting.
I'll help you. What should I start with?
- Yes. - Right?
Jae Hyuk, why are you back already?
Did the meeting get canceled or something?
They're all in the Vice President's office.
Jae Hyuk.
You should've seen the look on Jae Hyuk's face.
He looked utterly defeated.
Oh, I see.
He'll finally realize that I'm above him.
You shouldn't let your guard down yet.
I know.
I should trample all over him, so that he can never rise again.
Have you heard from the CEO of the home shopping network?
Yes, they want to sign a contract with us soon.
There's a condition though.
What is it?
The quantity must cover what they need for other countries as well,
so they need us to mass-produce.
They'd like to visit our factory before signing the contract.
I was going to improve...
our production line after signing the contract anyway.
We won't be able to handle a sudden rise in volume,
so we should start preparing now.
Then I'll go over the budget with Accounting and proceed accordingly.
- Okay. - Oh, right.
The resort sent this for you, sir.
What is this?
They sent it to congratulate you.
It's for a complimentary stay at the resort.
How about a romantic getaway with Ms. Hwang?
Uncle Min Hyuk, you just got home?
Yes.
Here.
Wow, an ice cream cake. Thank you.
Let's eat this together.
It's okay. I don't like ice cream.
But ice cream is so good.
Then what do you like?
What do I like?
When I was little, everyone called me Rice Cake.
I love rice cakes.
- Rice Cakes? - Yes.
Why are you wearing a hanbok dress out of the blue?
Because Leon kept pestering me to go to Gyeongbok Palace with him.
This will be our last date before he returns to France.
So many couples go to Gyeongbok Palace...
dressed in hanbok these days. It's the latest trend.
All right. Have fun.
See you later. See you.
Leon is finally going back to France.
I heard she turned him down.
He's a great guy though.
She's so picky. I wonder if she'll ever get married.
Why are you just standing there?
What?
Oh, don't mind me.
I have to go to the store today. I have an appointment with a client.
What are you doing today? It's the weekend.
I'd love to see you going out on a date.
I'm going to read a book. Get going.
All right, then.
- Hello. - Hello.
Look who's here. Director Park...
I mean, Mr. Park?
Yes.
Did you go cycling?
I was passing by and saw that the store was open.
You're working on the weekend?
Yes, I'm expecting a client.
I see.
I should check your sales numbers since I'm here anyway.
Okay, sure.
Oh, right.
I have to step out for a moment.
- Just a moment. - Sure.
Okay, see you.
You stepped out to buy this?
Yes, it seemed like your wrist was bothering you.
Did you...
get it sprained?
Thanks for this.
- Here, let me do it for you. - Gosh, it's okay.
Come on. Let me help.
Take it easy.
Don't overwork yourself.
I never do. I just sprained my wrist when I slipped and fell.
You should exercise regularly.
Stretching is so important.
Do you have pain-relief patches on too?
I can smell them from here.
Your new job at the warehouse must be physically taxing.
Yes. To be honest, it's quite exhausting.
Why do such a horrible thing and get yourself in this mess?
Hang on a moment.
Drink this.
I made this tea with medicinal herbs.
I see. Thank you.
Gosh, it's so bitter.
Healthy foods taste bitter. Drink up.
Okay.
Ms. Han, what are you and Leon up to?
We're just walking around.
Well, do you know where the headache medicine is?
I can't find it.
Headache medicine? I don't know either.
Do you have a headache?
A mild one.
I'll just go pick some up. Don't worry about it.
Uncle Min Hyuk!
- Here. - Oh, what is this?
I was over at Seung Cheol's place,
and his mom gave me this rice cake.
You said you like rice cakes, so I brought it for you.
- You brought this home for me? - Yes.
Okay, thanks.
Ha Eun! Let's...
Ha Eun, you were talking with Uncle Min Hyuk?
Yes. He told me he likes rice cakes, so I gave him one.
You did?
What are you eating?
Ha Eun brought this for me.
What?
Throw it out. You can't eat that. It has tissues stuck all over it.
No, it's fine. I can eat this.
That kid. I just think it's so sweet.
You see, I want a daughter.
Let's have an adorable daughter, just like Ha Eun.
I wonder who Ha Eun's dad is.
I heard he died.
Do you know what kind of person he was?
No, I know nothing about him.
Mr. Choi!
Why are you back already?
You said you have a headache. I picked up some medicine for you.
I already bought and took some.
You did?
Do you feel better now?
Yes, better than earlier. Where's Leon?
I told him to go home. You said you had a headache,
so I ran to the pharmacy and came home.
How are you feeling?
The headache is gone, thanks to the medicine you picked up, Yu Jin.
"Yu Jin"?
You told me to call you like that at home.
From now on, I'll call you Yu Jin when no one else is around.
I'm so happy to hear this.
By the way, what made you pick up the phone and call me earlier?
- That's... - Be honest with me.
I bet the medicine was just an excuse.
I was the first person that came to your mind, so you called me.
You're right. That was just an excuse.
You popped up into my head.
What? Tell me.
No.
I see.
You called me because you couldn't find the medicine.
Well, that's okay.
You did think of me, regardless of the reason.
Vice President Han Min Hyuk.
What?
I just wanted to call you like that. Vice President Han Min Hyuk.
Don't be silly. Let's drink.
Okay.
Do you know that it's been forever...
since we last did something like this?
I'm so happy right now. I feel like the whole world is mine.
Let's forget all the bad things that have happened.
Let's only think about our future from now on, okay?
All right.
The resort invited me for a complimentary stay.
Shall we spend the night there tomorrow?
Really? I'd love that.
Min Hyuk.
I love you.
I love you too.
(Director Park)
What did you say?
It looks like Han Jae Hyuk and Choi So Won found that guy.
- How? - That guy I hired...
to take your car to the auto repair shop.
He called me.
What do we do, then?
I'll take care of it, so don't worry.
I just thought you should know.
Thank you.
I found the person who drove Yeon Su's car that day.
He works for an errand service business.
Where is he now?
He's gone. I'm sure Yeon Su is hiding him somewhere.
She got to him already?
Did you book a meeting with the CEO of the home shopping network?
Yes, they want to sign the contract this week.
Okay, that's great.
What about the production line at the factory?
It's all going well.
I'm sure you'll take great care of everything. Thanks in advance.
No problem, sir.
We're going there today.
The resort.
I see. Have a great time.
Thanks.
Min Hyuk, are you sure this is the place?
Yes. This is it, according to the GPS.
What is going on?
I can't picture a resort at a place like this.
Who gave you the invitation?
Mr. Choi.
What? Mr. Choi?
Yes, he gave it to me saying that he received it from someone.
What?
What is that?
Why are you and Mr. Choi in the same photo?
Oh, Mr. Choi.
Why are you in that photo?
Because...
Yeon Su and I were in a relationship in the past.
I'm Min Ah's dad.
