(Episode 47)
So you were the one that spread the false rumor?
I'm asking you if you did it!
No, Ms. Hwang. It was me.
What?
You little...
Please calm down, Ms. Hwang.
Let go. I told you to let go. Did you not hear me?
I bribed our competitor?
Why? Why would I do such a thing?
This is my dad's company.
Then I wouldn't even have bothered to participate in the contest.
Do you realize that?
I was too drunk at the team dinner the other day.
I'm sorry, Ms. Hwang.
Did you think I'd forgive you if you used alcohol as your excuse?
You talked about a made-up story as if it was true.
And you! I'm sure you chimed in, thinking it was your chance.
Please don't get the wrong idea, Ms. Hwang.
Ms. Kang was just quietly listening.
You two told the reporters because of your grudge against me.
Your sly tongue...
destroyed my reputation and honor in a flash.
What will you do now? What are you going to do about this?
- Calm down, Ms. Hwang. - Let go!
How can I calm down now?
People are laughing at me over something I didn't even do.
My team and I will do our best to sort out the situation.
Please trust me and wait outside.
Ms. Yang, is it true that you talked about it at the team dinner?
I'm sorry, Mr. Bong.
She just brought it up casually.
We never expected...
articles would get written about it.
Ms. Kang really did nothing wrong.
I did all the talking, and she just listened.
Ms. Yang, don't you know our job is to prevent and manage risk?
We can't be causing a risk internally like this!
And you talked about something you weren't even sure of.
I'm sorry.
Yes, we're looking into it as well.
Our official statement?
We'll call you later. All right.
This is crazy.
Mr. Bong, the phones are ringing off the hook.
First, let's stop new articles from getting published.
Mr. Bae, is Reporter Oh the one who wrote the first article?
Yes, I sent you the phone number.
How dare they insult my daughter.
Su Ji bribed her competitor?
Who spread such a ridiculous false rumor? Find out at once!
Yes, sir.
Did the first article get taken down?
They've agreed to take it down until we gauge the situation.
What's there to gauge?
Just find out who spread the rumor.
It's from someone in the company, so we'll find out soon, sir.
Well, actually...
Ms. Yang Jin Hui on my team admitted that it was her doing.
Ms. Yang?
Let the disciplinary committee handle it.
Yes, sir.
But where did Ms. Yang hear it from?
That I don't know. She wouldn't tell me.
Really?
Anyway, there will be a disciplinary action as it's a serious matter.
Make sure she takes responsibility for spreading a false rumor.
That's how we'll conclude this.
I believe we should confirm the truth first.
What do you mean?
Are you saying Su Ji actually bribed her competitor?
Since it's already been made public,
we should verify it first to make sure there will be no problems.
"It's just a false rumor."
Just saying that with no evidence won't help the company's image.
Don't ask for trouble.
Your team's job is to minimize risks,
not to uncover the truth.
Even if the CEO's family did something wrong,
your team must cover it up. That's your job.
Do you understand?
Ji Hun, when it comes to things like this...
Uncovering the truth can be the best way to manage risks.
We can begin the disciplinary process later.
Mr. Bong!
Why are you trying to make things complicated?
Is it because a person in your team is involved in this?
Act professional.
Don't let your personal feelings affect your work.
I believe this is the right thing to do for Ms. Hwang too...
because her reputation as an artist is everything to her.
Give us a little more time. I'm imploring you.
The designer will make sure...
to keep quiet in return for buying this painting, right?
I'm asking if you finished it up well as I told you.
Yes, Ms. Koo. You don't have to worry about it.
Ms. Nam.
Did you read the news article?
We're doing everything we can to sort it out.
It looks like a rat around you spread the word about our deal.
Make sure no one around you will talk about it.
Don't make things worse.
- Ms. Yang. - Yes, Mr. Bong.
It seems that a disciplinary committee will review this case.
And you will be held responsible for spreading false information.
You should tell me where and from whom you hear the rumor...
that Artist Nam Ye Seo was bribed by Hana Beverages...
so I can help you.
Ms. Yang, did you not hear what I said?
I have nothing more to say to you.
Are you saying you wouldn't mind if you get reprimanded?
I'm sorry, Mr. Bong.
Mr. Yang.
You were slapped in your face by Ms. Hwang because of me.
I'm so sorry.
It must have hurt so much.
You shouldn't worry about me now.
Why don't you tell Mr. Bong the truth?
How can I do that? I'm a loyal person.
I told you that Artist Nam went to the same university as my friend.
I can't sell my friend out to keep my job.
My friend told me that because she trusted me.
Still, I think maybe Mr. Bong...
can figure out a way.
Don't be so naive.
Mr. Bong is not in his position just to help us.
Besides, the rumor...
is about the CEO's daughter. He can't side with me.
If he tries to help me,
he will end up in a difficult situation too.
But you can't just give up like this and do nothing.
However, Ms. Kang, I think it's unfair.
It's true that I talked about it.
But it wasn't false information.
This is the same as being falsely accused.
Ms. Yang.
Where have you been?
I was worried because you didn't answer my calls.
I was in my car.
To cool down my anger.
Don't worry about it.
- I'll take care of the matter. - Fire them.
Both Ms. Yang and Kang Yeo Won.
Why Ms. Kang?
She was there too.
The fact that she was there isn't enough.
It's obvious that she enjoyed gossiping about me with Ms. Yang.
She kept bothering me anyway. I think it's a good thing.
Get rid of the two of them so I won't have to see them anymore.
I'll make sure that Ms. Yang will take the responsibility.
What about Kang Yeo Won?
Don't act like a little child.
Su Ji.
(Nam Ye Seo)
- Where is Mr. Bong? - Mr. Bong?
Mr. Bong must be in the emergency meeting.
I didn't ask you, Ms. Kang.
Hang on.
This is Ms. Nam's portfolio.
Are you teasing me?
Did you put it on your desk so I could see it?
I gave it to her and told her to shred it.
What are you waiting for? Go and shred every page.
Yes, Mr. Bae.
Ms. Kang is so good at shredding documents, Ms. Hwang.
Shred every single page.
I don't want to see her work in my dad's company.
Understood?
Yes, Ms. Hwang. Understood.
(Title: Warmth, the expression of warm feelings)
(Title: Rainbow Tree, title: Full of Nature)
(Title: Hologram, title: A Colleague, Thinking)
She made this with so much effort to send it to us.
Then why did she withdraw from the competition?
Just as Ms. Yang said,
maybe it's true...
that Ms. Nam was bribed.
Gosh. Did Hwang Su Ji join her dad's company to play around?
That's awful. She must've wanted to become famous badly enough...
to bribe a newcomer artist with no power.
Hwang Su Ji, what a bossy daughter of Hana Beverages' CEO.
She must think she's a real artist.
She got humiliated while acting up because her dad is the CEO.
She got the job only because her father is the company's CEO.
You don't even know me.
You haven't even seen my works.
Here.
If your conscience is clear, that's all that matters.
It's easy for you to say since it's not your problem.
As you build your career as a pop artist,
you will continue to be labeled as Hana Beverages' CEO's daughter,
maybe for the rest of your life.
Will you cry whenever things like this happen?
I'm crying because it's unfair.
When I started my career in New York without my dad knowing,
I didn't tell anyone that I'm the daughter of Hana Beverages' CEO.
I agreed on the competition because I was confident as an artist.
I know that.
- What did you say? - I said I know that.
I understand that you must be upset and think it's unfair.
So...
- Here. - Why did you...
Don't cry.
Stop crying.
Mr. Bong is not in his position just to help us.
Besides, the rumor...
is about the CEO's daughter. He can't side with me.
Ms. Hwang.
I'm not angry at your brother, so you don't need to worry.
And I won't get back at you just because your brother...
rejected me. I'm not that petty, so don't worry.
No, it's not about that. There are no additional articles,
but how about we set our social media accounts to private?
Alice, have you forgotten who I am?
I am Hwang Su Ji.
If we do that, it'll look like I'm admitting I did something wrong.
Don't delete any of the malicious comments.
I'll collect them and sue them all later on.
Okay, got it. I won't touch them.
Great. Don't be intimidated.
I've never done anything you can't be proud of.
Okay. I trust you no matter what anyone says.
Cheer up, Ms. Hwang.
Hello?
Yes, hello.
You heard from the collector?
Honey, go home and get some rest.
I'll take care of everything here.
Sang Mun.
Should we keep the shop open for 24 hours a day?
Yeong Jae is starting school this year, you know.
We need to earn more money.
The new year has just begun, and you're already talking about money.
Just pay for your coffee, will you?
How many cups of coffee have you had?
Hey, Ji Yeong.
Do you pay for all the food you eat at Ms. Wang's restaurant?
Why should I? We're family.
Goodness. Now, you're saying we're family.
If you pay for your food, I'll consider paying for my coffee.
Only that's fair.
Just one cup a day, then.
Right, Trang seems to have many questions about you.
About me?
She asked me...
why you keep calling Mother "Ms. Wang",
and if there's a story behind it.
She must have a lot of time on her hands.
My gosh, what the...
Why is that wench so curious about Il Nam?
"That wench"? Hey, seriously.
Watch your words, will you?
Trang.
Do you need something?
What did you say you'd do if I let you work here?
List your promises.
We said we wouldn't meddle in each other's personal matters...
and that we'd pretend not to know each other at all.
Right? Then...
why are you secretly asking others about me behind my back?
How I address Ms. Wang...
has nothing to do with you. Why do you even care?
Why are you so nosy about others' family matters?
Do you know that this is considered...
a serious violation of our agreement?
Il Nam, she raised you. Why call her "Ms. Wang" instead of "Mom"?
If you keep calling her like that, it'll make her sad.
It'll break her heart.
Are you her daughter-in-law or what?
I won't tolerate you crossing the line like this. I'll...
Il Nam, why are you raising your voice at Trang?
Do your job properly, okay?
Just do your work.
Are you okay? Did something happen?
No. I'm fine, ma'am.
You don't need to worry about me.
Ms. Naju talked way too much, but she's the opposite.
As I explained to you over the phone,
there was an article about how the company bribed you...
after proposing the collaboration to you.
I'm sorry but...
I'd like to ask you, the person involved, a question.
Shouldn't you be investigating this internally?
Right, but the two parties might say something different.
That article isn't true.
So it's 100 percent not true?
I'm busy preparing for my solo show, so I have to go.
Just a second, Ms. Nam.
Let me ask you just one more question.
Why did you suddenly decide to withdraw yourself from the contest?
Because I didn't feel confident about my work.
I gave up because I knew I'd just end up embarrassing myself.
You submitted your portfolio to us.
I reviewed it from the first to last page.
I'm not an expert,
but all your paintings...
even warmed my heart. They're that impressive.
From your paintings to your experiences,
I know you're more than qualified to participate in the competition.
My colleague... No.
One person's future depends on this.
Please tell me the truth.
I have nothing else to tell you.
I'll be off, then.
(Hana Beverages)
Hello, ma'am.
That artist. You said you made sure she'd never say anything.
You said you sealed the deal by offering...
a high price for her painting.
What is this mess though? Why is there a rumor about it?
Why didn't you take care of it properly?
I apologize, ma'am.
I shouldn't have gotten involved.
I really don't want this to affect Su Ji in a negative way.
What should I do now?
I'm planning to put blame on the person who spread the rumor.
I'll make it look like that person spread a false rumor.
Yes, I know.
I was thinking that's probably the only solution we have.
Anyway, make sure...
you get that person fired as soon as possible, okay?
Yes. Understood, ma'am.
Get back safely, ma'am.
I Nam.
So? Are you officially dating the owner of the necklace now?
We're so in love...
I mean, that would be great, but we're still just friends.
Is that so?
But let me give you a piece of advice...
as someone who's slightly older than you.
Falling in love at first sight is great and all.
But sometimes, someone you've known for a while and feel...
comfortable with turns out to be a better match for you.
Right, that kind of relationship is nice too.
But the girl has to make my heart flutter at first sight.
Did your heart flutter the moment you met the owner of the necklace?
What could you even see at first sight?
There are about 200 reasons why I like her.
Shall I list them all?
Forget it. Do you think I have that much time on my hands?
At first, I was just attracted to her.
But I found out that she was bullied in high school.
I think she's been through a lot.
So now, I want to protect her.
Sir. There aren't that many female riders in the area, right?
There's only a handful, including Rider Kang.
Seon Hwa said one of them is the girl that bullied her.
If I find that girl, I'll teach her a lesson.
Such a terribly mean girl works in this industry?
Yes.
Seon Hwa even told him about me?
I can't sit in the office because I feel too anxious.
Gosh.
I'm not sure if you'll like it.
But I made it with all my heart, just for you.
I'm such a lucky man.
Preparing for your lectures must keep you busy enough.
Thank you, Jung Sook.
You should put all the side dishes in the fridge right away.
- I'll... - No, leave it.
It must be my younger daughter.
You should hide. Hurry.
I'm home.
Go to your room.
I'm tired.
I'm going to take a nap here.
Come on. Get up and sleep in your room.
- Your back will hurt later. - Gosh.
- This is so annoying, Dad. - Come on. Hurry up.
All right. Fine. I'm going in.
You can come out now.
My gosh.
Ms. Kang.
Where have you been until now?
Well... I just met Artist Nam Ye Seo.
Without even telling me?
Ms. Kang.
You know Ms. Yang wouldn't tell a lie.
And the reason why Ms. Nam withdrew all of a sudden is strange.
So...
did you hear the real reason why she withdrew from the competition?
Even if she had another reason, she would never tell anyone.
Ms. Kang, it's not a matter you can handle on your own.
A family member of the company owner is involved in it.
Ms. Yang is also involved in it.
You said yourself before...
that as long as we work in your team,
the trust among us is more important than the individual's competency.
I trust Ms. Yang.
Do you think I'm doing nothing because I don't trust her?
I'll be the one who will find a way to help Ms. Yang to keep her job.
- So you... - But you're busy.
You just do what you should do for Ms. Hwang.
I will do what I can do.
What made her get the wrong idea about me this time?
The collector said he wants to meet you.
He said it's about time.
"It's about time?"
(Unasked Family)
- Ms. Yang is fired as of today. - Mr. Kim.
Why won't you stop looking at it?
I still have some doubts.
Why is it still here?
Why is this darn thing in front of me?
Do you not know when not to butt in?
I guess you're worried about Ms. Hwang the most.
"Hana Beverages".
My daughter-in-law works here.
- Keep up with me, will you? - I'm sorry.
