(Episode 4)
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
You promised him you'll fix it. You can't do this.
You can't rig the motor!
You know how sensitive the Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team...
and the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team are because of the next test.
Don't worry. I'll take responsibility.
Woo Jong, go on and pack up.
You know this won't work on the sample for the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team.
Why are you doing this?
What did you and Mr. Han talk about yesterday?
Did he blackmail you?
- Min Goo! - You little punk.
My gosh!
What are you two talking about?
Tell me.
Mr. Kang.
You said you'll apologize. What's with the resignation?
How can you stab our backs like this?
Mr. Choi, it's not like that.
Woo Jong,
what were you just saying?
What's this about Mr. Han blackmailing him and the motor?
Say something.
Are you saying he rigged the motor...
to make the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team get dropped out or what?
Why aren't you saying anything?
What are you saying?
Mr. Kang.
What is Mr. Choi talking about?
Why would you get us dropped out?
That's not it.
Do you know something?
No.
Is that so?
Yes.
No...
This is the QZET motor.
I thought you were going to replace it because it didn't meet the criteria.
Byung Guk, you got it all wrong.
Judging by your reaction, I must be right.
What do you mean?
You're taking revenge!
You're taking revenge on Ms. Jung.
Come on. What do you take me for?
What?
I can see through you.
You were unhappy about having to apologize to her.
You decided to rig our product...
so her team would suffer!
I didn't rig anything.
You're talking a load of garbage!
- Garbage? - Yes!
Byung Guk.
- What? - Come here.
- What? - Get lost!
- What? - You scumbag!
- How could you? - Darn it!
I apologize, sir.
I'll try to fix this.
How will you do that?
He already submitted his letter of resignation.
I'm looking into his new job and the offers he received.
If I find that out,
I think I'll be able to stop him from leaving.
He's a key worker in the Motor Team.
We must keep him here.
If you can buy me some time,
I'll fix this as quickly as possible.
Fine.
Excuse me.
Pyeon Dong Il speaking.
What? The Motor Team?
Okay.
You need to see this, sir.
Gosh, I can't stand working here any longer.
Mr. Kang.
Do you think I'll let you leave that easily?
- Or what? - What is going on here?
What is in the wireless vacuum cleaner for you to cause such a scene?
Hold on.
This.
Yesterday, he said we couldn't use this motor...
because the specifications were too low. But look.
He put it back in.
Isn't this suspicious enough?
No one else knows about motors better than I do.
Based on my experience,
I deemed this QZET motor fit and put it back in.
- So what wrong did I do? - My gosh.
- Then what's with this ruckus? - I have no idea, sir.
I dedicated my entire youth...
to this Motor Team.
Why would I taint my reputation like this...
if I've already submitted my letter of resignation?
And what is this about Mr. Han?
Is it true that you blackmailed Mr. Kang?
What? Of course not, sir.
Don't you know me?
I'm the legendary Han Se Gwon who sold a million...
of those detergent-less dishwashers.
Why in the world would I blackmail him?
Because my team might get dropped? Seriously? I'm not crazy.
- Mr. Choi. - Yes, sir.
- Maybe you heard it wrong. - Sorry?
They're both denying it.
Maybe all of this mess was caused by your mere assumptions.
Mr. Go.
Sir, I'd like to apologize before anything else.
Let me explain.
We should always base everything on facts.
You shouldn't jump to conclusions, Mr. Choi.
- When did I do that? - You might have misheard.
Don't you think so?
I don't think you have golden ears to begin with.
This is unbelievable.
You're trying really hard to cover this up.
Mr. Yoo.
Repeat what you said before.
Tell them what you said.
Go on.
You know very well what Mr. Kang did.
Hurry up.
Mr. Yoo, it seems like you know something.
Tell me what you know.
Well...
To be honest...
Woo Jong.
You do know that it's a once-in-a-lifetime offer, right?
- I am aware of that. - Okay.
Submit your letter of resignation tomorrow, okay?
- That fast? - What's stopping you?
Mr. Kang, if you're going to leave,
you should leave a good final impression.
You can be so cute.
Stop nagging at me.
Don't worry about me.
I'm a big shot, and I got this.
- Goodness, hello. - Yes, hello.
Wait, Mr. Kang.
I heard the good news.
Sorry?
Yesterday,
I met with Mr. Jung...
of AA Electronics.
Mr. Kang, it looks like you and I have something to talk about.
Shall we?
AA Electronics?
That's a good place. They're promising.
You picked well.
If you're just going to compliment me, then I'll be leaving now.
But why would such a successful venture...
recruit someone like you?
I looked into it, and they had a fascinating condition.
I wonder if Mr. Yoo knows about that condition.
He'll feel utterly betrayed if he finds out.
So? What do you want?
Nothing much.
You do know that the company has decided...
to drop either the Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team...
or the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team, right?
I'd like our team...
to stay.
Are you telling me to rig their motor?
Well...
To be honest...
I have no idea what Mr. Choi is talking about.
Mr. Kang didn't do anything.
I'm afraid there's a misunderstanding.
Hey, Woo Jong.
Mr. Choi.
Explain.
He didn't do anything.
Why are you so careless?
You misinterpreted their words.
I'm sorry, sir. There must be a misunderstanding.
- Can I have a word with you? - Let me go.
- We should talk. - Then let's test it out.
Test what out?
People may lie, but the machines can't.
If Mr. Kang really used the best motors,
both of them would work well.
But if I heard them correctly,
only Mr. Han's sample device would work.
We are already pressed for time as it is. Why would we do that?
That's a great idea. Yes.
Let's do that.
Goodness.
Fine. Let's do it. Run the tests.
Get the QA Team and do it properly.
But here's what you must keep in mind.
Even after the tests, if we don't find any signs that the devices were rigged,
someone from Human Resources...
must pack up and go.
What a mess.
So you call this an analysis report?
Fine. What's the cause?
The cause.
I'm sorry.
Gosh.
Hey, Shin Han Soo.
- Mr. Shin. - What?
Give us the solution.
Increase the capacitor's duration to 20 hours.
And check the via hole. Then, you'll get your answer.
I'm pretty sure the via hole is defective.
- I see. - "I see?" Seriously?
- Go and check it again. - Yes, sir.
Yes, Mr. Pyeon.
Right now?
Okay.
Gosh. I'm already busy as it is. I have to clean up the mess too?
Gosh.
Let's go, Mr. Shin.
Me? Why?
You have time on your hands.
If you think I have a lot of time on my hands...
just because I handle my tasks faster than the others,
do you think I would want to work harder in the future?
This isn't fair.
Should I make you feel more wronged?
- Where to, sir? - Bring that with you.
Get rid of your neck pillow.
(30 percent might not be possible, but 90 percent will work.)
The silence is killing me.
Gosh. I can't believe we're doing this.
Mr. Gong.
Run the tests properly.
Okay. Will do.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Once the QA Team is done with the tests,
at least both of you will be canned. Okay?
Goodness. Unbelievable.
Mr. No, please stop it.
We'll wait and see.
Gosh.
You're not as careful as I thought you would be.
Why do you think I'm in this mess, to begin with?
Mr. Kang, what are you insinuating?
Don't you know why you are in this mess?
What?
Gosh.
Goodness.
You were worried that you would face disciplinary action...
because of the sexual harassment incident,
so you were going to rig the wireless vacuum cleaner's motor with a vendetta.
But you got caught red-handed like a fool. Isn't that what happened?
I see.
So this is how you're going to play this?
So...
don't drag down an innocent guy when you go down.
Mr. Kang, do your job right.
My gosh. You need a good team even when you're running a scam.
Mr. Choi, how could you be so awful at reading the room?
Then, what about you?
Do you have to ridicule me like that just to get Kang Min Goo to stay?
You took the words right out of my mouth.
You're the one who made me look like a fool.
What? Me?
- Yes. - When did I do that?
You knew that Mr. Yoo Woo Jong was going to switch jobs, right?
You knew, but you didn't tell me. Isn't that right?
See? I knew it.
He told me that it wasn't a done deal.
I was going to tell you when things were finalized.
I see.
So were you going to report it to me after he leaves the company?
Well, that could have happened.
Mr. Choi, this isn't how you do your job.
What did I tell you?
I told you to take the initiative to find out what's going on...
with the employees and report it back to me.
Didn't I tell you that on your first day? I told you that was your job.
Then, does it mean I have to tell you...
every single private matter I come across?
How is switching jobs a private matter?
Losing and hiring employees is such a big matter.
Our employees are our assets, driving force, and backbone of the company.
Protecting and managing our employees is our job!
Fine. Okay. I didn't know much about Human Resources.
Okay. I'm sorry.
But that doesn't mean I should turn a blind eye to someone...
who fabricated our sample device.
Are you sure he rigged it?
What will you do if you're wrong?
Listen. You got his back against the wall.
What if you are wrong? Do you have the ability to resolve this issue?
I don't know about that.
There's no way that I'm wrong about this.
I saw it with my own eyes and heard them with my two ears.
Gosh.
The results are out.
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
I'll announce the results of the tests.
By the way,
we kept the same conditions and used the same method for the last tests we ran.
I can tell you the tests were run fairly and strictly to our guidelines.
- Okay. Give us the results. - Yes, sir.
I'll tell you the result...
of the wireless vacuum cleaner's suction power.
Compared to the last test,
the suction power decreased by ten percent.
It decreased?
See? What did I tell you?
You wanted to sabotage my team!
I'm sure you two were in on it!
Let's hear the result for the robot vacuum cleaners.
Okay. I'll announce the result.
Compared to the last test, by 20 percent, their suction power...
It increased by 20 percent?
- Gosh. - Wait. No.
- It's 30 percent. - 30 percent?
It went down by 30 percent.
- What? - What?
It went down.
What...
- Are you sure? - Yes.
How can both of our suction power go down?
I took the videos. Feel free to watch them.
Wait.
Gosh. You're right.
Look at this, Mr. Go. The hair didn't get sucked in.
Gosh.
- So is that fascinating for you? - What?
Are you happy that both of the motors performed poorly?
No. I'm sorry.
Mr. Gong. How...
Did you check the performance of my motor too?
Yes. The motor was fine.
- What about mine? - It was fine too.
My gosh.
Are you all happy now?
Hey, Mr. Choi. You said...
something was rigged here and whatnot,
throwing a huge fit.
Why aren't you saying a word now?
- Mr. Kang, please calm down. - Forget it.
I was planning on ending my time here on a good note,
but I don't care for it anymore.
Let's go, Woo Jong.
My gosh. This is unbelievable.
Darn it, all of you. How do you call yourselves team leaders?
You couldn't figure out what the problem was?
- The next test is in two days, right? - Yes, sir.
If this happens again,
I'll cancel both of your projects!
Darn it.
Goodness.
What a mess.
Why is he angry at us?
No idea. Grab our stuff.
You said there is no possibility you could be wrong.
How will you take responsibility now?
Well.
The test result looks...
a little weird.
Doesn't it look weird?
If it seems that weird, you can stay up all night and check,
then run the test again...
before you go home. Okay?
Mr. Go!
Mr. Go, why don't you...
have another talk with him?
We need to do everything we can to hold Mr. Kang back.
Just tell him to leave.
He's not the only motor engineer in this world.
Now, aren't they something?
Mr. So?
Yes, could you send me Mr. Kang's phone number?
Yes, right now.
(April, Hanmyeong Electronics)
(Wireless vacuum, 2nd endurance test, Robot vacuum, voltage test, stamping)
(VR Industry Motor Seminar, Sign up for the environment test chamber)
- I see, he's coming in. - Yes.
Let's see.
Can you stamp it with the time?
- It's right here. - There it is. 8 p.m.
Okay.
Could you fast forward 20 minutes?
I went to Mr. Pyeon and begged him,
but he can't back us up anymore.
We don't have another motor team,
- so please. - Mr. No.
I really want to help, but...
When Mr. Kang would take his hands off the project,
you'd take a look at it for me.
Could you please try using another motor?
No.
Why not?
I'm about to leave,
so I can't take responsibility if anything else happens.
I'm sorry.
Mr. Yoo.
Yoo!
(Hanmyeong Electronics)
(You have 1 unread message.)
Mr. Kang Min Goo, this is Dang Ja Young.
Mr. Kang.
What happened to the test result?
What now?
This isn't what you promised.
The Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team is about to get canceled too.
You told me not to depend on you.
Why are you getting so clingy?
Darn it, man.
I won't elaborate, Mr. Kang.
If you don't change our motor,
I'll have to take this to Mr. Yoo.
Goodness.
So? What do you want?
Nothing much.
You do know that the company has decided...
to drop either the Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team...
or the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team, right?
I'd like our team...
to stay.
Are you telling me to rig their motor?
I'll put my trust in you, Mr. Kang.
In this disgusting world, everyone blackmails everyone.
Recording the conversation is just a basic step.
If you want to fight me down in this ditch,
let me know whenever you want.
I'm backing up. Watch out.
What were you and Kang Min Goo saying back in the parking lot?
Are you a stalker?
Don't you think you're a bit reckless?
Everyone has their eyes on you.
Something is going on between you and Kang Min Goo.
What do you know?
I'm sure you blackmailed him because you knew something.
Something as low as blackmailing another doesn't suit me, does it?
That's something for a man like Choi Ban Seok.
How does that suit me?
It suits you.
It's the classic Han Se Gwon, who risks everything for his goal.
It's a perfect move for you.
You have to pass the test right now, don't you?
That means you'll need Kang Min Goo.
And I need to hold him back too.
Which means we both need him.
So tell me what you know.
I'm offering to help, am I not?
Tell me what it is already!
There's nothing. Not a thing!
I don't know. I don't know anything.
What will you do about this hand?
You're lying again.
Will you take long?
Product R and D Team 2 will be having a meeting in here.
Okay.
We're done here.
What is the matter with you? Have you gone insane?
Why do you keep coming here and touching me?
Can you please stop?
I thought you didn't like coming here, so why do you keep showing your face?
Did you have a change of heart after seeing me?
I must be right. You look nervous right now.
Mr. Han, we're currently discussing work-related matters.
Is that right? All right, Ms. Dang.
I'd appreciate it if you could stop discussing...
such matters face to face. Okay?
Gosh. I'm done seeing your face.
What a lunatic.
Where's Mr. Choi?
He left to attend an academy.
- An academy? - Yes.
Unbelievable.
He's just impossible.
Ms. Dang.
Mr. Choi told me...
to give this to you.
- To me? - Yes.
"Analysis Report."
(Correlation Between the Motor Test Case and Yoo Woo Jong Transfer of Jobs)
(HR Senior Manager Choi Ban Seok)
- Bye. - Bye.
Woo Jong.
(Towers)
Do you have anything to say to me?
I'm sorry about today.
You should be.
I found out a secret about you.
(Summary)
It all started with Mr. Yoo's phone.
I took the videos. Feel free to watch them.
While everyone was distracted by the suction test,
- I witnessed something. - Gosh. You're right.
Mr. Yoo looked laidback...
- as he looked at his phone. - The hair didn't get sucked in.
It seemed as if he was browsing...
what to eat for dinner.
(Tasty sausage stew restaurants in Changin)
Based on his suspicious actions, I've come to this conclusion.
He already knew the result.
On what grounds?
The day the Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team asked for a modification...
and the day Mr. Kang promised to fix the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team's motor,
Mr. Yoo was the only one...
who stayed behind and worked late hours.
(April Attendance Management)
He willingly worked late hours to run the tests.
He probably knew the problems each team had.
- Mr. An. - Yes?
Please send them the 0302 version for the mainboard circuit diagram.
That's the revised version.
Yes, sir.
Hello?
(Mainboard circuit diagram 0305)
Yes, sir. I'll check it right now.
(Mainboard circuit diagram 0203)
The Robot Vacuum Cleaner Team used the wrong diagram from the get-go.
However, the team leader was incompetent and overlooked this.
Hwason, OQ, and UR.
These three are the top three in the market,
and they share something in common.
And unless the Wireless Vacuum Cleaner Team...
forwent the handle design that the Product Planning Team wanted,
Mr. Yoo knew that the motor power would remain weak...
due to the small size of the battery.
Not bad.
I also met with those in the research building...
who were close with him and asked what he talked about.
They said he consistently expressed his disappointment in Mr. Kang...
who kept abusing his power and causing trouble.
Mr. Kang kept making him do his work.
Right. Because of that, he...
If Mr. Yoo really disliked Mr. Kang,
why would they resign together?
Therefore, I plan to meet with Mr. Yoo,
hear him out,
and do my best to dissuade him from resigning.
So? Is that it?
What about Kang Min Goo?
P. S.
Mr. Kang apparently got a hefty amount for a loan to purchase a house.
His new workplace doesn't seem too far from downtown Changin.
We should just let him go.
The MVP of Motor Team...
is Yoo Woo Jong.
The end.
Mr. So.
Yes?
How many home appliance companies are in Changin?
I'm not sure.
If we include the small businesses... Maybe about 30?
I see.
Please give me a list of companies...
that are in a 50km radius of Changin.
Yes, ma'am.
I can understand everything else.
But I just can't wrap my head around this.
You're an eager learner who even takes classes at an academy.
Why would you change jobs alongside Kang Min Goo?
Why?
Is it because he saved you from getting punished in the past?
No. You see...
A team leader should protect their team members.
That's what a team leader does.
If this is out of loyalty, think again.
Well... Mr. Choi.
I actually didn't want...
to tell you this in case you'd compare yourself to me.
But the new company gave me great offers.
I need a break before working at another company,
and they'll consider it a paid vacation.
My salary is 1.5 times more than now.
Wouldn't you be willing to move if you were in my shoes too?
Is that true?
My wife is eight months pregnant,
so she can't work for the time being.
But that company is paying me to take a break.
Gosh.
Those are some excellent offers.
I didn't know you were this competent.
Mr. Kang helped me out a lot.
So you're saying...
you're willing to leave with him solely because of those offers?
Correct.
I'm sorry about everything.
Woo Jong.
About that new company...
Do you think they gave you those offers solely because of Kang Min Goo?
Do you really think so?
In my eyes, you deserve that much treatment without his help.
So make sure you look into the company beforehand.
Bye.
I'm so exhausted.
I'm on an empty stomach, and I can't even see you.
I'm so miserable these days,
but I'm hanging in there because of you.
Come on. What kind of a question is that?
Of course, I love you.
Are you going home?
Can you spare me a few minutes before leaving?
(QK Electronics)
(AA Electronics, UR)
One of those is Mr. Kang's new workplace, right?
I don't know.
One call and I can easily find out where he's going.
I'm just offering you a chance.
I know you're pressed for time.
You better cooperate with me if you want to pass the test.
Which one is it?
What did they offer? You must know.
Come on.
Don't forget about your contract with AA Electronics today.
See you later.
Hello.
You're going to work, right?
Have some coffee.
Okay.
Thank you.
I heard that the offer they made is very nice.
Did Mr. Choi tell you that?
No.
I have a pretty wide radar.
I see.
So you know the terms of Mr. Kang's contract, right?
Pardon?
If I knew his terms,
I wouldn't be able to switch jobs because I'd feel betrayed.
What do you mean?
You didn't know?
I see. You didn't know.
Didn't you know that...
Mr. Kang will receive bonuses for bringing you into the new company?
I see. You didn't know that.
If you don't believe me,
check it yourself.
(AA Electronics)
(Labor Contract for Annual Salary)
(Agreement)
The person you have reached is not available.
It looks like he has some urgent matter.
Why don't we proceed with my contract first? All right.
We can't do that.
Pardon?
I told you from the beginning.
We need Yoo Woo Jong.
(Laborer Yoo Woo Jong)
I see.
That's hot.
My gosh. Woo Jong. What is he thinking?
What? Why isn't it working?
(Motor Team)
- Hey, Woo Jong. - Let's talk.
What? Hey.
You're getting 30,000 dollars for bringing me in.
Why didn't you tell me that?
Oh, that.
I was going to tell you.
Okay. I'm sorry for not telling you first.
Woo Jong, think about it.
Do you think I asked you to come with me just to get that money?
Don't you know me?
And it's not like I'm dragging you there against your will.
You wanted to switch companies too.
What about the fact that...
AA will stop manufacturing home appliances and shift to clothing after a year?
- How did you know that? - Mr. Jung of AA told me.
Fine. I get that...
you hid the bonus from me because you needed the cash.
But you should have told me about their future projects.
Hey, Woo Jong. Don't see things in black and white.
When you are young,
you should switch to a job that pays better.
Forget it!
You know what?
Home appliances are my passion.
And I'll develop home appliances for the rest of my life.
As for AA,
you can go there alone and make a lot of money.
Hey, Woo Jong.
Mr. Yoo!
Mr. Kang.
We only need the director to approve your resignation.
What do you want to do?
What do you ask?
Tell him to approve it.
You said you'd apologize to Ms. Jung.
End things on a good note.
If you don't apologize to her before you leave,
you'll be dismissed for disciplinary reasons.
Is that okay with you?
(Preventative Lecture on Sexual Harassment in Workplace)
Are you happy with that?
- Bo Ram. - Yes.
This is much better...
than an empty apology.
Mr. Shin, any thoughts on this?
Yes. I do have one.
- This is very unpleasant. - What did you say?
Are you comparing me to that dirtbag?
I told you not to talk to me at work.
I'm talking to you because you told me not to.
Gosh. You're so ugly.
Right back at you. Did you know you're uglier?
Why do you think I don't cut my hair?
I don't want people telling me that I look like you.
You're so ugly, Shin Han Soo.
(Expense Report)
(Director)
(Director Go Jeong Sik)
How will you fill in the position in the Motor Team?
Mr. Yoo... So the team leader wants to...
hire a contract worker he's been keeping an eye on.
- Ms. Dang. - Yes.
Shouldn't you thank me?
- I should? - We hired two key members...
for the Motor Team who cost as high as your annual salary because I kept pushing.
I see. Right.
Thank you, Mr. Go. It's all thanks to you.
- You may leave. - Okay.
Give me a break.
(Director Go Jeong Sik)
(I announce the following promotion.)
(Promotion, Yoo Woo Jong, Team Leader of Motor Team)
Good for you, Woo Jong.
Upload.
Bo Ram and Mr. So must have gone home.
Probably.
Mr. Choi, that was a nice report.
Then, I don't have to pack up, I guess.
- I still have my job, right? - Yes.
So...
I want to give you a reward.
What? What reward?
Let me have it.
This is a secret only for HR.
The list of people you need to interview...
is a pool of key employees headquarters is managing too.
Form a nice group, if you will.
That might be more useful...
than learning new tricks at the academy.
I'm off for the night.
Hey, Min Young.
Wait. I'll put Dad on the phone.
Dad.
It's Ja Young.
Dad.
Dad, it's Ja Young.
You said you missed her.
Dad, can you hear me?
No.
He was feeling good up until now.
I guess, I'm out of luck today.
I'll talk to him next time. Okay.
Thank you, Min Young.
Okay. Bye.
Okay.
- Hey. - Gosh.
- Can you use the back door? - Why should I?
Because I don't want to see your face.
You're so mean.
Well,
thanks to you, I was able to fix the circuit diagram...
and pass the test with your help.
Thank you.
If you want to thank me, don't talk to me.
I know that we can't probably get back together,
but I think we can form a nice alliance to be more strategic at work.
What do you think?
Unless getting beaten up is your strategy, move out of my way.
I want to go home.
Bye, then.
Hey.
Goodbye.
Sweetie, should I drive?
No, I will.
Your ex-wife...
seemed very tough.
Is she scary?
No, not really.
Then tell her.
- What? - That we're dating.
What?
And flex your buttocks.
Are you sure this is good for our back?
Be quiet and just do it.
If we lose our core muscles in this age, everything will be over.
I think my back is about to give out.
Don't be such a weakling.
Haven't you learned anything...
after you ran into Han Se Gwon again since you came here?
Why are you bringing him up right now?
Hey, you need to keep up your energy...
and make a young boyfriend.
A guy like Se Gwon definitely has a young girlfriend.
Forget it.
I have no time to date anyone right now.
Which means you'll date someone once you have enough time.
Then should I ask Han Soo...
if he has any cute friends?
Do you want to die?
Hey, I win.
Ja Young, go get us drinks.
Have you gone insane?
How do you hold this in one hand? That's amazing.
Um Tae Yoon. Okay.
(Meet-up Strategy)
Shin Jung A.
There's nothing special with Shin Jung A.
(Shin Han Soo)
Shin Han Soo.
(Shin Han Soo, 35 years old)
Computer science. Software.
Oh, that's an idea. Right?
I got this.
Right.
I told you not to contact me even outside of work.
I have a really pretty friend...
who's 43 years old, once married.
So? Is she dead?
No.
If you know any good bachelors, set her up with him.
- Bachelors? - He could be once married.
Why? Is it her age?
No, I don't like how she's your friend.
Hang up if you're going to talk nonsense.
Hey, you. I'm serious.
Well, in that case, there's no one among my friends.
But if Mr. Gong gets divorced,
I'll let you know right away. Happy?
You psycho...
She seriously has gone senile.
Come on.
Who am I going to ask now?
I have to find a boyfriend for Ja Young.
A three-way intersection?
Yes, I see Hanmaeum Finance.
I'm at the three-way intersection.
Do you see a cafe there open 24 hours?
So why do you want to see Shin Han Soo?
Hey, I found it. Thanks.
Mr. Shin.
Yes, hello.
What are you up to?
Oh, I've been working on my stuff.
I'm here to do some work too.
- Keep it up. - Okay.
Excuse me. Hey.
It's a little embarrassing,
but this is a system I've been developing on the side.
I wanted to check if the code has been optimized.
Are you asking me to review your code?
Yes, I heard you're an expert in this area.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert.
You should upload it to an online open-source community.
There are good programmers there.
Well, I do know that,
but it's a little embarrassing.
But I understand how it'd be annoying.
No, I wouldn't say annoying.
I feel like a rookie soldier doing a favor for a general.
In a word, it's over my head.
Well...
I'm not asking you to do it for free.
If you review it for me, I'll compensate, of course.
Compensate?
I'm taking your time, so of course, I should pay you.
- So think of it as a part-time... - No, it's all right.
My mother always told me...
that even a petty amount of money comes with responsibility.
I'd feel even more awkward if I make you pay me.
I see, your mother said that.
Okay, then. I understand.
- I'm sorry for bothering you. - It's all right.
Wait.
You can give it to me. Let me take a look.
Really?
But I really want to pay you...
within a reasonable range...
No, it's okay. My mother really said...
Yes, right. Your mother did.
You should listen to her, and please tell her I said thanks.
(Mr. No Jae Yeol)
Mr. No.
What is it?
I thought we were texting first before calling.
Baekho Electronics turned down the 100 percent employment buyout offer.
Are they going to sell us off?
No.
They're taking the business, but not every single employee.
I don't think...
that's the right order of business.
- Why not? - Reducing the labor force is...
what they'll have to deal with once they buy us out.
It's not like we're selling fish.
Why do we have to give them a nice and clean piece...
without the head, the tail, and the guts?
They want a nice and clean piece of fish.
I mean, 80 percent of the labor force in Changin Business Department...
are employed permanently.
Get that 80 percent down to 40.
Wait, how am I going to cut down half of our permanent staff...
Mr. No, there is this thing called the Labor Law in Korea.
And that law isn't there just for a show.
Do you know how much time it takes for us to dismiss one permanent member?
How is this... I mean, the personnel reduction isn't...
as easy as preparing a fish.
Had that been the case, I would've done it already.
Ms. Dang?
What are you doing here?
Well...
I was...
What about you?
I live here.
I see.
Ms. Dang? Hello?
- I'll leave you to it. - Okay.
- By the way, will there be a layoff? - Sorry?
Weren't you talking about Changin Business Department?
(On the Verge of Insanity)
Ms. Dang, must you go this far?
You know how difficult it is to fire an employee.
Ms. Han, did you make a suggestion to HR?
If people get wind of this, I'll sue Mr. Choi for defamation.
What are you on about?
Do you need a role model?
Didn't you know? You're my role model.
I should never turn out like that.
I should work hard in life.
Do you have nothing to fear?
Watch what you say, Mr. Choi.
I did.
- If not, I would've cursed at you. - What did you say?
Explain or clarify this situation.
Say something.
Didn't you hear what Mr. Han said that day?
Is this all because of him?
I can't do this.
I expected an objection.
They won't just disapprove of this.
This will cause a huge problem.
I'm going to do it.
