(Episode 81)
What are you doing?
Si Kyung.
What is this?
Is this why you called Bok Hee?
Why are you being childish?
What? Childish?
Is that how you talk to your mom?
And is it okay to treat the woman I love like this?
Director Jang.
What about the way you treat me in front of her?
It's Mrs. Jung's birthday.
It's once a year. Do you have to be like this today?
That's what I want to say.
Does it have to be like this today?
I actually didn't want to come here.
But Bok Hee told me to at least tell you happy birthday, so I came.
Is this what you want to do when she thinks of you like that?
What?
You came because she told you to?
See?
This is why I don't like you.
Si Kyung and I are not as friendly as other mothers and sons,
but we've respected each other.
He would at least text me on my birthday,
but because of you, we had a fall out,
and he says he didn't even want to come to my birthday.
And what?
He came because you told him to?
Birthday. Right.
It must be that.
And that's why I came.
But you are the one who ruined it.
Don't ever call Bok Hee again.
Director Jang, stop now.
Don't fight because of me.
Excuse me in the middle of the conversation. It's urgent.
Enjoy dinner with your mother, Director Jang.
What?
What is it?
Don't fight over me. Stop being mad on this happy day.
Then I'll be going now.
Goodbye.
Hey.
Bok Hee.
Interesting.
I'll get going too.
Happy birthday.
Si Kyung.
What is it?
Why would you slip out like that?
What am I supposed to do?
She's your mother. You could've celebrated her birthday together.
Why did you follow me out?
Go back and stay there for a bit.
What? I don't want to have dinner with them.
You left me alone at the enemy camp.
Where are you going? Just tell me that.
I should go now to meet Mr. Hwang.
I'll get there before the adoption agency closes.
Why would you go there suddenly?
I think I found it.
What October 30 means to him.
Really? What does it mean?
I think it's the birthday of his daughter who's been adopted.
No. It must be.
How foolish of him.
I know he's head over heels for her. But how can he do this?
That's what Bok Hee is like.
She acts nice and gentle but manipulates people behind them.
And she makes people fall out.
That's charming.
She is bold and quirky too.
I need to get some rest.
Have dinner without me.
You should give up.
They are never going to break up.
Shut it.
There's no such thing.
Mr. Hwang.
October 30.
It's your daughter's birthday, right?
Is that why you said that?
You said you'll sell this land after October 30.
I couldn't feed her properly.
So I...
was going to leave her...
only briefly.
Sir.
We will make sure to find her.
We'll find her and tell her...
that you have waited for her...
in this house for your entire life.
(Onmaeum Adoption Center)
This is a power of attorney for her father, Mr. Hwang Young Dal.
Because of the information disclosure request,
we need to check the documents that he is the said person.
We need it to access information.
It's not that we want to access the information.
But can you tell his daughter about this?
Mr. Hwang Young Dal dearly misses his daughter.
Yes. I will try,
but we can't get any information under Mr. Hwang Young Dal's name.
Then can you try with a birth date?
It's on October 30.
Her birthday is on October 30,
and in her 30s to 40s.
I only got two.
It's a girl, so it must be her.
Let us see.
"Hwang Mi Ae."
She looks similar to the girl I saw in the picture.
"Denmark"?
She went so far.
Could you please contact her?
Please tell her that her father, Mr. Hwang Young Dal,
is longing to see her.
Yes, but...
some of them don't want to meet their biological parents.
So we'll ask her thoughts and proceed if she is willing to.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Please tell her we'd like to talk regarding her father...
even if we can't meet.
All right.
So that's what October 30 was about.
What is?
Oh, it's nothing.
It doesn't seem like it.
You're onto something.
When you have that feeling, just assume...
that I'm on an important mission,
all right?
This kind of thing needs strict security.
Goodness. This is Bok Hee's voice.
Are you wiretapping, honey?
Hey. What are you doing?
She must be with Director Jang. They must always stick together.
Oh, my. Director Jang has a nice voice.
Hey.
Why would you take what's mine and listen without permission?
Look who's talking. You're the one wiretapping.
I'm on a special mission.
How did you get the app?
She tends to leave her phone everywhere.
I picked it up at the office and downloaded it.
What? That's illegal.
So I should complete my mission and erase it quickly.
How about you? Have you been trying to get that fraud?
Of course, I am.
Do it right.
He's wiretapping?
Manager Ko.
I found it out.
Found what?
The secret of Mr. Hwang regarding October 30.
You did? What is it?
It took something like an intelligence operation.
And I found this out risking myself.
Is that so?
All right. Good job.
So that's what it was.
It seems to be an international phone call.
Yes? This is Park Bok Hee.
Did you get in touch with her?
I think I got an international phone call.
So I'll wait a bit and call the number back.
Yes, thank you.
You're here.
Yes.
I should've got that call before. They're not calling again.
They called you first,
so I think we could try to.
We could, right?
Why don't you try it?
I don't think she'd speak in Korean.
Right?
I'm doing a big job again.
Now, then...
Why? What's wrong?
His daughter died of cancer...
last year.
What should we do?
It looked like he didn't even have a clue.
I wasn't sure, so I spoke to his caregiver earlier.
Really? What did she say?
His dementia is in progress.
Nonetheless, he has never stepped out of that house.
He is waiting for his daughter.
The daughter whose birthday he can't forget.
He would be very shocked. What should we do?
I feel bad for him.
Shouldn't we tell him the truth...
rather than have him waiting?
He needs treatment as soon as possible.
We should, right?
Let's stop by his house tomorrow morning and go to work.
Okay.
What?
Mr. Hwang's daughter is dead,
and the old man's gone senile?
If it doesn't end,
we would really need to set fire to his house...
for that old man to run out as it's hot.
(Chauffeur Ki)
Yes.
Is that so?
All right.
There's no need for a fire break out.
We can end it simply with that old man.
That geezer's daughter is dead.
He pretended to be fine without knowing...
that his daughter was dead,
but he's losing his memory from dementia.
Then...
let the sleeping dogs lie.
Could it be that living while waiting like that...
gives him the power to go on?
But this is still a contest.
Try to persuade him without hurting him as much as possible.
You're an expert at negotiating.
All right!
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, dear Dad
Happy birthday to you
You're here!
Yes.
My daughter is here!
Pardon?
Ko Sang Ah.
Yu Jung Woo.
Dad.
Now that you handed over the house to me,
you should get treatment at the hospital.
What on earth are you playing at?
We paid him a lump sum for buying this house.
You two are no match for us.
Pack your things and wait.
I haven't decided how to fire you...
this time.
I won.
No.
You extorted it this time again.
So it will be taken away again.
You'll see.
(CEO Ko Sang Ah)
It will not be taken away.
Never.
S.A. Company.
Sang Ah's Company.
It suits you well.
You sure are amazing.
It's all thanks to you.
You're being audited?
I'll find out what happened.
Okay.
Come in.
Shinsang Group's name changed.
Isn't it arduous to change that as it's a waste of manpower and money?
Did the BOD allow this?
Adviser Jung is receiving an audit,
so his authority as a director was suspended.
Adviser Park is also...
suddenly undergoing a company tax investigation.
The only person who can do this in an instant...
is Yu Jung Woo.
They're getting rid of all the people on my dad's side...
and completely replacing the executives.
They want to fill it with people on their side.
She won't let you go either.
If we're going to strike CEO Ko,
we have to shake up Jung Woo, who is Sang Ah's right hand.
What kind of person is Yu Jung Woo?
You worked hard.
I'm glad you know.
Now, you need to know who is needed...
to fill your greed.
You're going too far again.
Mrs. Jung wants to celebrate at home this evening.
I have dinner plans tonight with the CEO of S.A. Corporation.
No good can come from being in Mrs. Jung's bad books...
as soon as you become the CEO.
I'm going to meet the CEO of S.A. Corporation...
and tell him to resign voluntarily.
You will take that position.
I'll tell Mrs. Jung.
I still need Jung Young Sook,
but I can't say yes to everything she orders.
I can...
be the one that Mrs. Jung needs too.
Before, I was a temporary CEO,
but now I'm the real CEO.
No one can dismiss me as they please.
So...
you're going to play hard to get against her?
Don't do it too long.
Mrs. Jung has many ways to strike you.
I have you.
You will block everything...
and protect me.
Won't you?
You're unbelievable.
I'm a man too.
There's a limit to protecting a woman who likes someone else.
How long will you be so commanding?
Whatever I do, you have to stop everything to be a romanticist.
Compared with Si Kyung,
that's the only thing worth seeing.
I really can't beat...
your impudence.
Shall I make you porridge?
I don't want to eat.
She must be eager this time by changing the company name.
That spiteful child.
Instead,
how about you go meet Sang Ah?
Tell her to let go of each other's grudges...
and make a fresh start.
Do you still not know...
about Sang Ah?
You want to turn a blind eye...
and pretend we don't know...
all the nasty things she's done?
She wasn't like that from the beginning.
You kept comparing her with Sang Soo and treated her coldly.
And knowing that she was changed too...
would have made her feel like the sky was falling apart.
It was Sang Ah...
who tricked us to dispose all of our property...
to protect the company...
and got us to this mess.
No matter how much...
you close your eyes and plug up your ears, you should know that...
the beginning and end of everything was Sang Ah's doing.
After you lost Sang Soo,
I know...
how you've raised Sang Ah.
But...
no means no.
Mr. Ki Cha Ban.
Why do you keep coming to work when the project ended?
Exactly.
Go back to your place, Chauffeur Ki.
I guess you haven't seen it yet.
The personnel appointment was posted on the homepage.
(Personnel appointment)
What?
Chief Manager Oh will be deputy general manager?
That's that,
but Cha Ban who pulled strings to get here is an assistant manager?
Does that make sense?
It took me three years!
Well,
I've never felt this bad after getting promoted.
Unbelievable.
I'm seriously speechless.
Then Mr. Ki...
I mean, will I become a subordinate of Assistant Manager Ki?
This isn't a military where you get promoted by the years you serve.
Depending on your competency, the push or pull.
That's understandable.
Manager, are you going to just sit and watch this?
We just need to do our job.
The meeting will be in five minutes.
I'm home.
Hey.
Where's Dad?
He's not even eating after hearing the news of Adviser Jung and Park.
You should've done whatever it takes to become a CEO...
and held Sang Ah down.
Gosh.
Although it'd be hard for you to win against her.
Geez, I'm so upset.
It's different from when you were just a temporary CEO, isn't it?
Everyone wants to see you.
Yes, it is.
Who do you think...
put you in that position?
Pardon?
You don't think you made it on your own, do you?
Of course not. It's all thanks to you.
When you grow old,
you want people to express their gratitude.
Or else, we mistake them as an arrogant girl...
who thinks she got there on her own.
(Acquisition proposal of S.A. Company)
What's this?
It's an acquisition proposal.
I heard S.A. is for sale.
I'm only thinking about it.
I decided on who'd take over.
So you can proceed as it's written down here.
Rest well then.
By the way,
I just got off the phone with the CEO of S.A.
There will be no resignation.
Who to takeover and authority over personnel.
She tries to stir this up however way she pleases?
What is she trying to do? Make me into a figurehead?
That's why I told you not to act rashly...
and pretend you'd go by her at first.
Do you have any files on X Fund breaching any laws?
On paper, the owner is her husband,
so it won't hurt her.
Then find a way to drive her out of this company.
Why are you so impatient? What are you so afraid of?
You're the CEO now.
Both Bok Hee and Chairman Ko are all ruined.
They're no match for you anymore.
Then you want me to just sit and watch when Jung Young Sook...
is treating me like a puppet and act as a regent?
You should give in to petty things.
Wait while getting the big things,
and when you seize the weapon in your hands,
you should cut her off then.
A weapon won't fall into my laps.
Is selling a distribution company a petty thing?
We don't get many chances like this.
Make slush funds while selling it.
Sang Ah is trying to sell S.A. Distribution.
She wanted to found a luxury department...
and sell low to medium-priced distribution.
She must be going to sell everything she's not fond of.
She's probably trying to stash some money while at it.
Let's shake them up this time.
How?
What would be the most touchy subject...
during the selling procedure?
Well, money?
Acquisition value?
How much they'll get for it?
Right.
The people my mom chose that said to pay the most money...
are the bait I threw.
What?
Are you saying the companies that are going...
to buy S.A. Distribution are fake?
They're not fake.
They'll pretend to negotiate and pull out at the last minute.
What kind of company do a favor like that?
Yes. When I was in the States,
I won a lawsuit for them.
Mom, Yu Jung Woo, and Ko Sang Ah.
If I let each of them know the prices differently...
and make a tiny crack among them,
won't the three be scattered someday?
Weren't you in bed?
I slept all day.
So I can't sleep.
You must've been upset today.
Adviser Jung and Park.
They worked so hard...
for me.
I feel like it's my fault that they're going through hardships.
But I can't do anything for them.
If you stand through this healthy,
I will definitely return your position to you...
as you have done for me.
All right.
That was what I wanted.
A warm word to each other...
would give you courage...
and comfort.
That's what a family is about.
But I don't think I've ever been that way with Sang Ah.
If Sang Ah makes a mistake,
rather than thinking about why she did it,
I only thought about fixing her mistake.
You only tried to raise her right as her father.
It's your first time as a parent. You can't do everything well.
You're right.
Oh, right. What are you going to do about Park Bok Hee?
I'm thinking about how I should kick her out,
so I can hurt that old man too.
I'll exclude her from work completely...
until I kick her out.
And if I let her go with Dreamy,
it'd hurt him even more, won't it?
I guess so.
While looking at the acquisition of S.A. Distribution,
also look into selling Dreamy quietly.
And bring me as much slush funds as you can.
Then I'll trust you that you're on my side,
not Jung Young Sook.
(My Wonderful Life)
My name is not on the list for the seminar.
It means CEO Ko wants you to butt out.
You're acting so cheap as a CEO.
Are you at work to side with her?
Yes, I'm here to side with her.
Are you becoming like your crappy biological daughter?
How great is it to have a daughter who thinks so dearly of you?
Have a good life with her!
On the day your brother Sang Soo died,
I recorded something.
The conversation we had on the day of the accident.
