(Daekook Group, Special Shareholder Meeting)
(Episode 103)
It's almost time. What's going on with Seon Hwa?
Why is she not here yet?
Jae Min, why isn't Seon Hwa here?
I called her, but she didn't pick up.
What?
Do you think something happened?
What on earth is going on?
Let's go in for now.
(Daekook Group, Special Shareholder Meeting)
You'd never be able to make it in time.
Okay, Mother?
I can become a director...
depending on how well you do your job this time.
Once I become a director, Sang Hyuk will be an executive director.
Why do you have to give me such a scary mission?
You're going to blame me if my son doesn't get promoted.
So, do as I say.
All right, then.
You make me do a lot of things.
Seon Hwa, know your place. You can't become a director.
See? You're humiliating yourself.
Financial statements and director compensation...
have been discussed.
Now, we'll move on to choose a director.
Tae Yang!
Mother, how did Tae Yang get hurt?
Where is he now?
Is he at the emergency room?
What? Tae Yang?
Where is he?
He got badly hurt.
Did you call the ambulance?
Oh, my. I've gone crazy.
It was such a vivid dream...
that I thought it was real.
What?
Tae Yang got severely hurt in my dream.
I panicked and didn't know what to do.
I didn't realize I called you.
I thought it was my dream, but I guess I called you for real.
Are you kidding me?
Seon Hwa, look how much I'm sweating.
I'm only worried about Tae Yang when sleeping too.
Jae Gyeong put you up to this.
Wait. Where are you going?
As you already know,
my performance has been great since I got this job.
Many of my products were hits.
Once I become a board member, I will do my best to boost sales...
and live up to the expectations of the shareholders.
(Daekook Group, Special Shareholder Meeting)
- Chairman Yang. - Hey.
I'm sorry I'm late.
That's okay. We were about to vote.
Right. It's better to secure victory.
- Chairman Yang. - Hello.
I thought you said you were not coming.
Come in with me.
Where's Ms. Bong?
- She's not here yet. - I see.
- Let's go in. - Okay.
Ms. Bong is not here yet, but I'm afraid we can't wait any longer.
Let's start voting.
We had a video speech prepared just in case.
Please watch the video.
Let me go!
I can't!
Do you think you can stop me from going to the conference room?
What good would this do to you?
You don't even have a penny.
Did you think I didn't know?
I won't let you go. You can't go.
Mother.
Jae Gyeong should become a director...
so that my family can survive.
Mother, let me go.
Oh, dear. She's killing me.
It hurts.
She left.
We'll take into account today's voting, the letter of attorney,
and the online early voting results to decide who will become a director.
We're counting the votes.
We will announce the results soon.
(Daekook Group, Special Shareholder Meeting)
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long.
All the votes have been counted.
Let me announce the results.
Among 88 percent of the shareholders eligible for voting,
the number of votes in favor of Mrs. Yoon is...
My goodness. I'm too late.
(Daekook Group, Special Shareholder Meeting)
It must be over.
What should I do?
Why did you come so late?
I apologize, Chairman Yang.
I wasn't on time.
Congratulations, Director Bong.
What?
You've become a director of Daekook Confectionery...
with 59 percent in favor.
What?
Congratulations, Director Bong.
I'm proud of you, my daughter.
You'll clear your name and get Sae Byeok back.
Bit Na, meet Mom soon too.
Ms. Bong, I wish you luck.
When I saw the solution you came up with, I knew you were the right person.
Let's make the sales jump next year.
Thank you, Chairman Yang.
I'll work hard to meet your expectations.
Gosh. How can Chairman Yang make a fool of me like this?
He said he couldn't make it, but he came and turned the tables.
It got me speechless.
What can we do about it, though? It's all decided.
My goodness. Where did it go wrong?
I guess Seon Hwa's solution was better than we thought.
Many shareholders seemed to like her video speech.
They pretended to be against her in front of us.
Did they vote for her behind our backs?
That could be it.
My goodness. This is ridiculous.
How can they vote for such a young lady?
Fine. We'll see.
Let's see how well she'll do it.
Dae Kook.
Are you afraid your old management style will be proved wrong?
Bit Na, the daughter of Man Sik you killed,
will drag you out of your position, so brace yourself.
Seon Hwa!
She must've fabricated the results.
She didn't even show up for the speech and played a video instead.
How can she become a director, not me?
She must've done something about it.
I'll get to the bottom of it.
I checked the results. There's nothing fabricated.
Calm down, Jae Gyeong.
You'll only waste your time digging into how she became a director.
Right. The shareholders got swayed because she was a new figure.
I just need a reason to kick her out.
I can easily come up with a reason.
Don't make it backfire.
Why would it backfire on me?
By the way, how can Chairman Yang stab me in the back?
It's good that we shot the video speech and had a letter of attorney prepared.
I know. We almost couldn't make use of the share of J Capital.
Anyway, Jae Gyeong has been getting in your way so much...
that you know how to be prepared now.
Still, I thought I could lose,
so I was nervous.
Most shareholders and Chairman Yoon...
must have voted for her.
I didn't think I could win.
What happened?
It's the result of your hard work and effort.
What?
Fortunately, Chairman Yang changed his mind too.
Appealing to minor shareholders...
played a big role too.
Is that true?
James Kang worked hard to convince the minor shareholders,
so many of them cast their votes in the early online voting...
despite their busy schedules.
I'm so thankful.
I'm sure Jae Gyeong and Dad didn't think that far.
Thank you, Jae Min.
I'm thankful for Mrs. Joo too.
It's just getting started.
If we have been jabbing so far,
now it's time for a counterpunch.
Yes. I will.
Besides Chairman Yang,
who was that man with the letter of attorney...
from minor shareholders?
There is a lot of security camera footage...
of you two going into a room and leaving Rosse Hotel together.
I was also very shocked when I found out about this.
I'm so clueless about who you really are!
Jae Gyeong!
Right.
I remember who he is.
What do you mean?
I don't understand.
How can he be connected to Hae Ran?
Hold on.
You've met Mrs. Joo Hae Ran, haven't you?
Yes. She consulted me about investing in my firm,
so I met with her.
About investing in your firm?
Yes.
When I was busy,
other employees talked to her too.
Do you provide consultations at hotels,
not in the office?
Mrs. Joo is a member of the hotel pool,
so I gave her consultations there a few times.
Please ask Mrs. Joo for more details.
You're her daughter.
Are you done?
- Let's go. - Okay.
She consulted him?
No. There's something more.
I'm going to find out, Hae Ran.
Hae Ran has consulted you about investing in our firm.
Yes.
It was just a consultation.
She consulted me about where to invest her assets.
I see.
By the way,
I would like you to stay quiet...
about your father's inheritance.
What? How come?
After Mr. Bong died,
there were some people coveting Bong Confectionery.
If they find out his daughter will take over Bong Confectionery,
they might try to play cheap tricks.
Who are they? And what do you mean by cheap tricks?
It's a long story.
I'll tell you everything later.
It's for your own sake, Ms. Bong.
I'll tell you all when it's time.
Your father's full name...
and the fact that he owned Bong Confectionery.
Keep these two things a secret.
Okay.
Hello. All right.
One fried chicken and one seasoned fried chicken.
That's right.
The daughter-in-law of this restaurant is Yoon Jae Gyeong...
of Daekook Confectionery, one of the biggest companies.
Yes.
Okay. I'll make sure it's delicious.
Mom, this is amazing.
That's right. Our restaurant is doing amazingly well.
Did you hear about it at work?
That's not it.
Seon Hwa...
Seon Hwa was late, so she couldn't make it on time.
How do you know that?
Why would I not know?
I've got an amazing insight.
So your sister-in-law became a director as we planned, right?
We should drink until we pass out...
and have a big party today.
What are you talking about, Mom?
Seon Hwa has become a director at Daekook Confectionery.
What?
How did that happen?
I did so much not to let that happen.
What are you doing here?
What brings you here?
What are you going to pick on Seon Hwa for again?
Getting in her way so far was not enough?
When did I get in her way?
You're making me sad.
I heard you became a director at Daekook Confectionery.
It's wonderful news, so I came to congratulate you.
We're not on such good terms for you to do that.
You're making me sad again.
Here you go.
As long as we have Sae Byeok,
we're still a family.
Don't be so cold to your mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law"?
Look. You can't say anything you want.
Go. Leave.
My goodness. I was going to leave.
You're holding me in check...
because your life will get better, thanks to Seon Hwa.
Don't be too shallow like that.
Seon Hwa, you should always be careful of people.
It's always someone closest to you who stabs you in the back.
Seo Jun, we need more than salt this time.
Give me some red beans to kick out this evil woman.
Evil woman?
Hey!
That's enough. You can leave.
Stop getting on Bok Soon's nerves...
by showing up unannounced.
Take this back.
How can you say that to me?
Mom, red beans are here.
No. I'm leaving.
How nice.
Wait for me, Dae Kook.
You and I will lie down together on this bed soon.
Hae Ran,
let me teach you...
that you shouldn't let a cunning fox in the house.
Ma'am, is Tae Yang back?
Chairman Yang.
I was going to call you...
to thank you too.
Chairman Yang?
Is she cheating?
You're glad you listened to me?
Yes. Thanks to you,
I got to know more about Ms. Bong.
The most intimidating person is someone who is crazy about work,
not about money.
Money just comes along for those people.
What is she doing?
Is the guy confessing his feelings for her?
Look how happy she is.
Do you know when I decided to vote for her?
When?
Oh, dear.
They're making plans to meet.
When she said making bread and cookies...
made her the happiest.
Her goal is not to make it the world's biggest confectionery.
What is it, then?
She wants to make the employees happy about producing good products.
She'd like to give consumers...
a gift of happiness from consuming our products.
A gift?
He must be quite wealthy.
He's trying to win her heart with a gift.
Geez. I'm getting cramps in my arm.
Chairman Yang, I will arrange an occasion soon.
Okay. Take care.
I'm sorry.
I mean it.
I'm really sorry.
Wouldn't it be too risky?
I was happy to hear that you became a director.
But I guess that wasn't all.
Bok Soon, I became a director to take revenge on Jae Gyeong.
Still, be thoroughly prepared for it.
I know you studied it briefly when you were Sharon.
But business management can't be learned in a few months.
Yes. I've been learning a lot from CEO Kang.
By the way, Jae Min.
Is it okay that you brought documents about Jae Gyeong?
If Chairman Yoon finds out that you secretly got hold of it...
It's okay.
Here. Take a look.
These are documents about Jae Gyeong's corruption.
And these are materials about the problems at Daekook Confectionery...
acquired after consulting with an outside agency.
I worked there for a while too. I think personnel reform is needed.
Anyway, the charges on irregularities and embezzlement are apparent,
but will we be able to turn Jae Gyeong over to the police?
It seems like Chairman Yoon won't stand to see that.
Don't worry, Seo Jun.
I won't let her get away with it this time.
What?
Seon Hwa...
is trying to get back at us for getting kicked out of the company?
I'm sure of it. It's unfair for me.
Well,
did you look into who is supporting Seon Hwa?
Well, it's not easy to find out.
J Capital has always been very protective of its information.
It's very hard to dig up information.
James Kang, who has dual nationality, is the company's figurehead.
His Korean name is Kang In Ho.
But you know how the real owner of J Capital has been veiled.
Do you think there's a reason why the real owner of J Capital...
shouldn't be disclosed to the public?
I need to know who I'm up against before starting a fight.
If he is an influential figure...
in the political and financial circles,
they might make a countermove if things go wrong.
That won't happen.
Seon Hwa doesn't have connections that can make it possible.
How do you know that?
Oh, well...
We did a background check on Seon Hwa, Dad.
What are we going to do about it?
What a bother.
But Dad,
when will you let us back in the house?
You're saying that again.
Your mom went to put Tae Yang to bed.
Go and see his face before you go.
Don't go in. Tae Yang is asleep.
Still, I want to see him before I go.
It was hard to put him to bed.
Do you want to wake him up and see him cry?
Since when were you so affectionate to your son?
All you do is use him for your gain.
I don't get it.
Why did you go to J Capital?
Right. I got the call.
I heard you met my fund manager.
If he and you are not in a relationship,
why did you get angry and hide it when I suspected you of having an affair?
I really don't understand. It doesn't make sense.
What about you,
who manipulated it as an affair when there was nothing between us?
Isn't that more nonsensical?
What did you say?
Although he is a major shareholder of our company,
he was known for investing shares in secret.
So I was investigating him to help your dad.
If a scandal breaks out that I was having an affair...
before I find any information,
people will misunderstand me.
It'll also be a big inconvenience to them, who is a major shareholder.
That's why I figured it'd be better...
to put up with the humiliation you gave me.
Do you think that makes sense?
You can choose to believe it or not.
It's very unpleasant that Seon Hwa became a director.
But it's a relief she cleared a misunderstanding about me.
Now I'm going to tell your dad about everything.
Now that J Capital and Kang In Ho have come forth,
there's no need for me to hide it anymore.
Do you think I don't know you're trying to trick me?
I feel bad for you.
You no longer have a weapon to stand against me.
Now,
I can go talk to your dad about Tae Yang, right?
Mom.
Right. Reveal that thing about an affair.
There were two more people besides Mr. Kang who consulted with me.
I have a voice recording...
and security footage as evidence too.
You can disrespect me...
and spill it to your dad.
And I can talk to him about Tae Yang.
It'll be good since we'll be even.
Mom, about that...
Do not test my patience anymore.
I'm not doing this for you.
I'm putting up with you for the peace of my family.
Whenever I think it's going too far, I'll set it off...
and make it right.
Do you understand?
This is driving me insane.
If what she said was true,
I'm sure Dad would cut me off.
(Daekook)
(The Second Husband)
Client rebate and embezzling company funds were done by one person, right?
I plan to turn it over to the police and request a reinvestigation.
Mrs. Yoon is being questioned at the inspection department.
Are you going to be like this? Just let me off this once.
Jae Gyeong is like a sinking ship now.
You better get off that ship.
Otherwise, you will sink with her.
Let's stop here.
You should've thought about the damages it would have on my company.
You have to stop covering your family as the owner.
