(Episode 75)
Oh, gosh!
I'm fine.
- You guys should go inside. - Okay.
There is something wrong for sure.
How could this happen overnight?
How could Sang Ah do this to us?
No.
Si Kyung could be the cause of all this!
Don't say such a thing.
Don't mention Sang Ah's name in front of me.
It's strange.
Jang Si Kyung...
is Jung Young Sook's son.
She brought this upon us.
There's no way he was left in the dark.
That's not true.
He did everything he could to save Shinsang with me.
Are you standing up for him already?
If he did everything, how come he couldn't protect it?
Don't be harsh to the kids.
In the end,
this happened because I lost my cool.
I need to take some rest.
Okay. Come this way.
What in the world?
How could this happen?
Please lie down.
Sure.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
Don't say that.
I was the one who told you to not strain yourself.
It was my foolish judgment without knowing...
that it was a trap.
It wasn't.
I know you did it to save the company.
If it was someone else,
they would've spared themselves first.
As an employee and daughter,
I'm so proud of you, Dad.
I'm sure this won't be comforting at a time like this.
By all means, I'll get the company back.
I'm not that smart or know anything,
but I know it's wrong to end like this.
I'm going to make things right.
If you're going to go against that jerks,
you'd have to roll in the mud with them.
Then I will roll with them.
And I'll survive until the end.
I will get it back...
and return you to your post.
Okay.
I am...
sorry.
Don't be.
You did well, Sang Ah.
How do you feel coming back?
I wouldn't have dreamed of coming back here if it weren't for you.
It's all thanks to you.
We were just like bread and butter this time.
You're my lifesaver.
You're amazing, and I admire you.
It would've been great if Si Kyung was like you.
Don't worry.
He's blinded by Bok Hee at the moment,
but soon, he'll stand beside you.
That's how families are.
Would he?
Of course, he will.
If you settle in at Shinsang Group and hands it down to him,
he may be able to feel your love.
All right.
Get some rest.
(Mom)
(Jo Eun Lim)
It finally feels like I'm home.
I feel so much better now.
Now,
I just need to get Jung Young Sook.
Sang Ah...
won't pick up her phone.
Would you give her a call?
Tell her I'd like to see her.
She's just resentful to her dad.
If I talk to her well...
You've seen everything earlier.
I think it's best if you don't contact her for a while.
Don't call her.
Who do you think you are?
Who are you to tell me not to call her?
Pardon?
I honestly think a lot of it is your fault...
that it turned out like this.
What do you mean by that?
Jung Young Sook.
She has her past with the chairman,
but she was against you and Si Kyung like crazy.
So I knew she'd do something huge.
But I didn't know this kind of horrible thing would happen.
That's why I held you back.
I told you so many times.
Why did you not listen to me and rub her the wrong way?
That horrific event was helped by Sang Ah.
No.
As long as you broke up with Si Kyung,
Sang Ah and Jung Young Sook...
wouldn't have been so cruel.
It's all your fault!
Can I see you briefly?
You're here.
Take a seat. Would you like a warm cup of tea?
No, I'm fine.
How are the chairman and Mrs. Jo doing?
They're sleeping.
I don't know what to say.
They're resenting me, right?
Since it was your mom's doing,
I guess they're a little upset.
I think their misunderstanding travels way back.
The past is the past.
The problem is the future.
Who'd become the CEO?
I heard they couldn't come to an agreement on the board of directors.
It'd be decided soon.
They can't leave it vacant forever.
Since X Fund led the dismissal,
I don't think Ms. Jung would come forward to do it.
She even has a bad name as a corporate raider.
I agree.
Then there's only one person.
No way.
Ko Sang Ah?
She blew the whistle on the two sets of books,
so she takes credit for the dismissal.
Officially, she's the daughter of the chairman.
It's a good justification.
Sang Ah must not take over.
Of course, not.
They need to have a board of directors to appoint a CEO,
so you cannot let her have it easily.
So I've been thinking...
An explanation besides the picture would be nice.
I bet you were all surprised yesterday.
It seems there are tons of articles about it too.
Don't be shaken. Only the CEO changes and nothing else.
Okay. The chairman is doing fine, right?
Yes. He's preparing the lawsuit,
so I'm sure it will work out.
Anyway, how's the renewal going with our homepage?
We are discussing how we'd design it in detail.
We're also analyzing how to classify products to increase the purchase.
Right. You're doing a good job.
More than expected are participating...
in the current review event,
but wouldn't people participate more if we provide more benefits?
I guess it would.
Then let's think about...
how we could reward the customers in relation to the review event.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
By the way, Ms. Ko had half a day yesterday...
and she didn't even come to work today.
Is she fired by any chance?
Are you disappointed? I'm not fired.
I guess you don't even wait for an intern for the meeting.
Ms. Ko, I need a word with you.
No matter how much you hate the chairman...
You said you want to be approved as his daughter.
But how could you stab the chairman in the back so cruelly?
Si Kyung.
Don't worry about other's parents, and worry about your own mother.
There's a reason why she did that.
So what did Ms. Jung achieve?
Her own son is on her enemy's side.
I feel so sorry for her.
What do you mean enemy?
The ill-fated relationship in that past can be solved.
Say you can do that to the chairman,
but don't you feel sorry for Mrs. Jo?
Aren't you worried after kicking her out like that? She only trusted you.
Don't worry about our relationship,
and don't go against Ms. Jung's will anymore.
Don't think about stopping her after cooperating with Bok Hee.
If you care for the company, follow what Ms. Jung says.
Can you see me for a minute?
It feels like Sang Ah is clinging on to my mom.
As expected,
I think she's trying to...
run the company with my mom on her side.
So what I thought was...
to create an allied team that will fight against them.
An allied team? With who?
With Adviser Park, Adviser Jung,
and Mrs. Wang from Myeong-dong.
Mrs. Wang...
But you said we can't get through to her.
It seems like Adviser Park gets in touch with her often.
At a time like this,
we have to actively attract Mrs. Wang...
to prevent X Fund from stirring things up as they please.
(Mom)
Hello?
All right.
Is it your mother?
Does she want to meet you?
Goodness me. The chairman got kicked out?
Even empty-handed?
Yes. My honey told me.
That's shocking.
Even more than Bok Hee being a daughter of a conglomerate family.
That's why people have to be on the right side.
When Ms. Ko was strong, Cha Ban was her chauffeur.
Right now, who is he working for?
He's the chauffeur of Grace Jung who drove out Chairman Ko.
Cha Ban has unbelievably good luck.
That's true.
In a way, Cha Ban is luckier than Bok Hee.
Then where did the chairman and Mrs. Jo go?
Where do you think? Their daughter Bok Hee's house.
Really?
- Mom. - Shall we take a look?
Goodness me. Who is this?
Isn't it Mrs. Jo?
I'd like...
one braised dried pollack to go.
Gosh. It looks like the chairman lost his appetite.
He would be.
Don't worry. Our dried pollack...
makes both the daughter who ran away from home...
and the boss who got bankrupt to cheer up.
One braised dried pollack to go!
All right!
- Sit here and wait. - It's okay.
(The restaurant where a conglomerate mistress came.)
Gosh. I should remove this now.
It's not right to have a picture...
of a mistress from a bankrupt family.
You keep doing this...
for me to listen right now, aren't you?
Why? Are you upset that I removed it?
It wasn't so long ago that you said to remove it as it's demeaning.
I really can't deal with you.
Is dried pollack from a restaurant you can't deal with delicious?
- Why are you buying it? - Mom. Stop it.
She's still a customer.
That's right, Ms. Shim. You told me a customer is a king.
I don't need it anymore, so cancel my order.
Your order is already placed. How can you cancel it?
Excuse me!
Goodness me. She's really annoying.
People who got bankrupted after a rich life are all stiff-necked.
They think they're still in that position.
- They become more stiff-necked. - Gosh.
Hey. But...
it's fun!
I feel relieved stirring people who were snobby.
Goodness me. Why do they all gather...
and live in this alley when they get bankrupt?
There's more for me to see.
Don't misunderstand. I can't keep living at the hotel.
A suitable house was on the auction, so I just bought it.
Sit down.
So, do you feel better now?
I didn't call you to hear your quarrels.
I called you as I have something to say.
Say it.
You take the CEO position.
The CEO position is not a position for anyone to take at your own will.
That's right. As the directors appoint it.
That's why I'm going to have you as the candidate.
In terms of reputation and skill,
the directors can't object in many ways.
It's going to pass.
It's practically your grandfather's company.
The original owner sits after getting back what's rightfully ours.
I refuse.
You may have dismissed him the way you wanted,
but you can't have me take it at your will.
Because if I refuse, you can't have me as a candidate.
Don't be stubborn!
How long will you follow that failed chairman?
Is it because of Park Bok Hee?
Come out of that house immediately!
No, I like it there.
I like the landlord and the house.
It's warm and feels like a place people live.
You foolish brat.
If you take your hands off Shinsang Group,
I'll go where you are.
So, I reject both proposals now.
You've lost your mind.
If so, go back to America!
You may have done everything you wanted until now,
but from now on, it won't work.
Your past with the chairman.
If you're right,
it is a pity and an upsetting matter.
But even so,
all of it is just an excuse.
Be more honest.
You're just using the past for your ambitions.
Si Kyung.
You're too harsh.
Forget it.
Then, Sang Ah.
You take the CEO position.
I'll put you as the candidate.
- Ms. Jung. - Sang Ah?
There will be many directors who will be against it?
Sang Ah got in a lot of trouble so far.
Then, we just need to change the minds of those directors.
Oh, so did this place...
become a safe house for you three?
Sang Ah and you two.
Don't trust each other too much.
I'll get going.
Gosh. How do I make porridge? I forgot how to make it.
- We're back. - We're back.
Right.
Grandma, what are you doing?
Do you guys know how to make porridge by any chance?
- Porridge? - Yes.
I knew he would come out like that.
It's a good thing. Ms. Ko Sang Ah.
There are better things when working with you,
- so do your best. - Okay, Ms. Jung.
I'll do my best.
Chairman Ko used all his fortune to save the company,
so there will be a few directors on his side.
Was it Mrs. Wang from Myeong-dong?
Yes.
I heard her contribution was big for canceling the last BOD.
She has close ties with my dad, so steadily bought...
our company shares a few years ago and became a major shareholder.
In terms of cash holdings, she's highly ranked in our country.
Though it seems that geezer is weak in affection,
she pursues practical interests in the end.
It won't be easy even if Si Kyung contacts her.
Pursues practical interests?
You're saying X Fund put Sang Ah up for the CEO candidate?
Yes.
That can't happen.
I think the same way.
Can't I meet with Mrs. Wang?
Apparently, when she keeps someone on her side,
she watches them for about three years before meeting.
Really?
Gosh. Then, how does she run her business?
She's not doing it now.
Once, I heard that half of the cash...
nationwide went to her safe when she did moneylending business.
But she stopped that business when her only daughter died.
But now, through her acquaintances,
she would circulate cash to companies too.
I only heard it through Adviser Jung.
I kind of feel sorry for her.
Anyway,
many directors follow Mrs. Wang,
so we should have her on our side.
To do that, we'd need to meet her.
How can we make her take our side when we can't meet her?
I know.
But...
she does show up to the scholarship foundation...
in her daughter's name.
So I'm going to head over there later.
All right.
I'll go out to work.
By the way, are the preparations for home shopping going well?
Yes,
we are discussing with the home shopping's merchandiser...
regarding the programming.
Try to get the best time slot.
- Yes. - Okay.
And arrange the points of how we will promote it.
I'll arrange that. Don't worry and be on your way.
I will...
transfer you to Myeongmun Elementary School tomorrow.
So today's the last day you will loaf around.
I don't want to. I'm not transferring.
What?
It's good as long as we got the house back.
I'll stay at Byunbang Elementary and make fun of Eun Su and Eun Ha.
Fine.
Then I'll set up a schedule and call your tutors from tomorrow,
so keep that in mind.
I had it good in Byunbang-dong with things like that.
Why can't I get the best of both worlds?
So annoying.
Yes, Adviser Jung.
Is that true?
All right.
Is there good news?
We got it.
- What did we get? - Adviser Jung got a call.
Half of the directors including Mrs. Wang...
would never have Sang Ah as the CEO.
Then the worst is over.
Yes.
They know nothing about me.
Why did they disagree with it?
You got points deducted for going through the audit.
And the video clip too.
You also testified against your father in an official setting...
which made some of the directors to raise their eyebrows.
It seemed like an act that violated the code of man.
That's ridiculous.
Then why did they dismiss the chairman?
They should've revered him forever and keep humanity.
They thought of the company over it.
It did cause quite a commotion.
Then...
are they going to keep it vacant?
They couldn't do that.
Bear it a bit more.
Bok Hee.
I got a call from Adviser Jung again.
Not only are...
the directors on our side absolutely against Sang Ah being the CEO,
but they also want you to be the CEO.
Me?
Who and why would they say that?
Don't be surprised.
It's Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang wanted me for the job?
Yes. You've never met her, right?
No, I've never met her.
You said you haven't met her either.
I don't know where she heard of you...
but she thinks highly of you.
Geez, Bok Hee.
It will be difficult for me if you get so popular.
But still, how could I be a CEO?
Anyway,
since the directors are still on the chairman's side,
he'd be encouraged to hear that.
Is the chairman doing well?
I want to make a visit but it's hard for me to go see him.
Then do you want to go with me...
and tell the chairman about this news?
Well, today?
Won't you have to face it someday?
Still,
I was going to see him after I get some results.
We should just go.
Where has all your spirit gone?
My spirit?
I have...
kept it well...
to use it for you.
So, this is what you like.
I thought you liked a gentle guy.
All right.
Let's go.
We'll go.
Mrs. Wang of Myeong-dong is set...
on Bok Hee and not Sang Ah?
Yes, that's what I heard.
How could she want Bok Hee?
- Si Kyung must've taken action. - Do whatever...
to make an appointment with Mrs. Wang of Myeong-dong.
No.
I should meet Bok Hee myself...
and dissuade her from stepping up as a candidate.
Here you go.
Try this. Goodness me.
I struggled all day to make this.
I'm home.
Welcome back.
I...
I'm here with her.
Yes, come in.
I am too ashamed.
But we have good news.
The directors who supported you are...
against Sang as a CEO candidate set out by X Fund.
And they want to recommend Bok Hee.
Why would you be here?
Why did you come all the way here?
Mother.
After Young Sook...
kicked out the chairman from his company...
and made our family fall.
You can't say you knew nothing of it as her son, can you?
He really didn't know. I know he didn't.
Be quiet.
It's the same with Bok Hee.
Your mom is so against it,
so why can't you break up with her?
What are you going to do now after what happened to us?
You're not saying you'll continue your relationship, are you?
I'm sorry.
Why would you be sorry?
Don't be like this and get up.
I'm so sorry to you and Bok Hee too.
I want to pay back somehow...
but the only thing...
I can do now is to apologize for what my mother has done.
I'm not sure what I should do to ease your mind.
So?
You're going to keep seeing her?
Yes.
If you want me to cut ties with my mother, I will do that.
- Director Jang. - But...
I will not break up with Bok Hee.
Mother.
- What do you think you're doing? - I...
don't like you.
Go ahead and try to keep seeing her even if I'm like this.
I'll keep being like this as well.
Mother, how could you?
Let's go.
- Let's go, Director Jang. - Yes.
It's best...
for you to go for today.
What are you doing?
Are you disdaining me...
because I don't have power anymore?
How generous you are.
Seeing Si Kyung drives me crazy as I'm reminded of Young Sook.
How could he come here?
Goodness.
This won't do.
I should go right now...
and make Si Kyung go out of the rooftop.
What? That is...
What do I do?
I'm sorry. You must've felt bad.
Actually,
it's worth being splashed with water...
since you care for me so much.
For goodness' sake.
What do you think you're doing?
Did you get splashed with water?
When did you come in?
Hello.
Si Kyung, I can no longer...
You.
Who are you to show up here?
Did she splash water on you?
Yes, I did that.
Your family is an eyesore,
so get out of this house right now!
Please stop.
What are you doing?
Is this how you did it?
