Hello.

Gosh, hello.

- Shall we?
- Sure.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize. It's part of the job.

You got one over on me.

I guess I did.

Do you want to switch seats?

- Cigarette smoke's coming your way.
- I'm fine.

- You're sweet.
- Goodness.

Anyway, how did you learn Korean?

At Yonsei University.

In Sinchon? At the language institute?

Yes.

- I went to Yonsei University too.
- Really?

I was there in 2015.

In 2015, I was a freshman.

I drank a lot in Sinchon back then.

I hung out a lot in Sinchon too.

We may have crossed paths.

We could have.

Back then, I thought I'd
be set once I got a job.

Right.

Those were the good times for me as well.

Will it get better once
we're no longer the newbies?

Beats me.

I'm the newbie on my team too.

Come on.

We may both be newbies,

but where we stand
couldn't be more different.

I was outsmarted by you, remember?

You were probably praised
while I got chewed out.

On top of that, I'm hungry.

Shizuoka is famous for its fishcakes.

Would you like to...

Shall we?

Can I ask you one thing?

Sure.

What do you want to know?

This way.

SHIMIZ has no intention
of dealing with us, does it?

This is all a facade,
but we're not seeing it.

Well...

SHIMIZ is actually looking
to move its head office.

Isn't the one in Shizuoka the head office?

It is,

but there are fewer number of
people living in Shizuoka now.

That's why we're looking to move to Tokyo.

Who'll move to Tokyo and
who'll stay in Shizuoka...

will be decided this month.

Mr. Yoshida will stay behind...

due to lack of performance.

I see.

The same goes on in Korea...

with people only wishing to move to Seoul.

What can you do when
Shizuoka is smaller than Tokyo?

What about you, Ms. Hirose?
Are you moving to Tokyo?

Or are you staying in Shizuoka?

Only one from our team can move to Tokyo.

Mr. Ozaki will probably be chosen over me.

But you want to go to Tokyo, right?

I'm not sure.

Going to Tokyo will be
better for my career but...

I must ask.

Can't Mr. Yoshida
strike the deal with us...

and show that as his performance?

A deal with WIND...

won't be enough.

The money has to be received...

for it to be considered
as one's performance.

But the down payment
from the deal with WIND...

won't be enough.

Is that why...

we're not being offered the discount?

At full price,

he could hit his quota.

But unless it's at a discount,

we have no reason to seal the deal.

It's a tough one.

(Episode 6: Inner Thoughts)

This is the place. It's where I frequent.

I'm loving the vibe.

Shall we?

Then, how much is usually
offered as a down payment?

Normally, ten percent should be received...

by the end of next month.

Next month?

Those moving to Tokyo
would've already been chosen,

so that won't affect
Mr. Yoshida's situation.

That's right.

Go ahead.

Here are your fishcakes.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Choose one.

- I'll have this.
- Okay.

Go ahead.

- I'll try this one.
- Sure.

How is it?

- It's delicious.
- Is it?

- It's incredible.
- Really?

It's good.

By the way,

why are you telling me
about SHIMIZ's situation?

I felt guilty in a way...

and wanted to tell you.

If by any chance,

you need to meet a quota too,

I'll look for a way...

so that you can move to Tokyo.

Sure.

- It's so good.
- Have your fill.

Right.

- Here.
- Yes?

- It's strong.
- Is it?

- Thank you.
- My pleasure.

Thank you for today.

You even treated me to a meal
when it should've been on me.

You can treat me next time.

Sure. Next time,

I'll treat you to something
delicious when you're in Korea.

There's an innocence to you.

What? To me?

Yes.

I bet you said that to only
be polite. Me, innocent?

Gosh, no. That came from the heart.

(Honne: One's true feelings)

I see.

Mr. Oh.

You were giving me spy vibes.

Did you get anything?

I did.

SHIMIZ has its own internal issues.

Did she tell you all about it?

Yes.

Really?

It's crucial for Mr. Yoshida...

to hit his quota, right?

Yes.

How much in down payment would he need?

With 9,000 at a 40-percent
discount, the down payment...

would be 16.666 percent.

And at a 50-percent discount?

To get a 50-percent discount,

the order must be for over 10,000.

I know.

I see.

The down payment would be 18 percent.

That'll do.

- Should I schedule a meeting?
- No.

I'll talk to Mr. Yoshida first.

Sure.

Excuse me while I make a call.

Mr. Yoon, are things going well?

Yes, sir. We're still in talks.

Meanwhile, I had a request.

Go ahead.

Could we pay the down payment in advance...

and at a higher amount?

As in how much?

Twenty percent.

And it must be paid by this month.

The company can't afford to
pay that much by this month.

I see.

Then, Mr. Park, I'll
make a different request.

You can ask the head office...

for a short-term loan to
cover the down payment.

However...

(Sanin)

Rather than going to Director Ha,

it'll be better to make the
request directly to the chairman.

I'm asking for a loan,

and Director Ha is the CFO.

I'll be going over his head...

if I go straight to the chairman.

Yes, I know that.

But the dynamics at the head
office are complicated at the moment.

For this particular deal,

it'll be better to make the request...

directly to the chairman.

I suggest a random
encounter at the lobby if able.

(Sanin)

Mr. Chairman.

Goodness. What brings you here?

I'm sorry, sir.

I should've run the company better.

Don't be ridiculous.

Your job is to make good quality products.

It's our job to sell them for you.

Still,

I heard you were upset about
the company not going public.

My gosh. As if.

What is it? Do you have something to say?

He'll be able to finalize the deal...

with a higher down payment amount.

Says who? The team leader?

Yes, Mr. Yoon Joo No.

I see.

If we're to pay a higher
down payment amount,

the overall amount should
be less. Don't you agree?

Sorry?

Have it approved.

Yes, sir.

Goodness. You must've
been working out these days.

Your thighs are still as muscular as ever.

Of course.

Those with better stamina
make better entrepreneurs.

Goodness me. Have your tea.

The chairman approved.

Sure.

This is the secretary's office.

Is the Head of Planning there?

Yes, this is he.

Are you sure the order
came from the chairman?

I see.

Got it.

All right.

He immediately approved
it like you said he would.

That's great to hear. You did great.

However, he mentioned the
overall price to be lowered.

The deal itself can't be easy to strike,

so a lowered price seems impossible.

I'll have to get it done.

You should hurry on out
before Director Ha sees you.

I'm worried about that myself.

CEO Park!

What is the meaning of this?

If you were here for a loan,

you should've come to me, the CFO.

Who are you to go straight to the chairman?

I was here to see you, sir,

but I ran into the chairman in the lobby.

He asked why I was here,
and I couldn't exactly lie.

So? Did the deal happen?

Not quite yet from what I understand.

But to close the deal,

a higher down payment seems necessary.

The decision has to be
made by tomorrow, right?

I'll submit everything
tomorrow for your approval, sir.

Thank you for responding
to such an urgent call.

No problem.

Thank you for your call.

I prefer traditional
Japanese tea over coffee.

Is that all right with you?

I wanted you to experience Japan...

while you were here.

Of course. I appreciate it.

We proposed purchasing
a significantly large quantity.

Around ten times the original amount,

believing it would be a
favourable offer for SHIMIZ.

However,

it seems we may have underestimated...

the cultural differences
between Japan and South Korea.

Yes.

It can happen if you're
not familiar with our culture.

Thank you for understanding.

I have received it.

Then,

we would like to inquire...

about how we can reach
an agreement appropriately.

The requested quantity can be done.

But there are concerns regarding
the change in the schedule,

issues of responsibility and such.

Sure.

How about we address those concerns...

by paying in advance?

By the way, why did Mr. Yoon
want to meet him alone?

He wanted to be considerate of Mr. Yoshida.

How's that being considerate?

Mr. Yoshida knew that
signing the deal with us...

would be a good thing for SHIMIZ,

but he turned it down to
move up in the company.

If Mr. Yoshida had to
admit that in front of others,

he'd be embarrassed.

I heard Japanese people
cared a great deal about honour.

I guess Koreans are kind of like that too.

By "advance,"

what deadline are you referring to?

Based on the current contract terms,

we're expected to pay ten percent
of the down payment next month,

but we would like to pay 20...

this month instead.

This month?

Yes. Additionally,

we request the cancellation of
WIND's current order of 1,000 units.

We'd like to place a new order instead.

If...

it is because of the discount rate,

that may not be a concern.

From 1,000 to 10,000 units,

the discount rate is the
same at 40 percent anyway.

No, we intend to order 10,001 units.

In that case,

we understand the discount
rate would be 50 percent.

Isn't that SHIMIZ's manual?

We will need to consider it.

Yes.

But as you know,

the deadline is imminent.

Yes, Director Lee.

SHIMIZ decided to accept our offer.

I'm glad to hear that.

Chairman Song will be relieved too.

You're okay, right?

Me? Of course, I'm fine. I'll
be stepping down anyway.

I just feel bad that you had to do this.

You're stepping down?

Yes, I should.

I can't work forever, you know.

I should retire and take it easy too.

You should be
congratulated when you retire.

Thanks for saying that.

(Junior Managing Director Lee Dong Joon)

Get some rest.

- You should call it a day too.
- Yes.

Right, Chairman Song.

I need to give him an update
about something. Is it too late?

Should I check with the secretary's office?

Or you could just meet with him tomorrow.

All right.

(Jongno Go Club)

(Jongno Go Club)

- Hello.
- Hello.

- Oh, hello.
- My, it's good to see you.

It's been a while.

- I know, it's been a while.
- Yes.

All right.

- Is the business doing well?
- Yes.

- Your friends are over there.
- Okay.

Oh, over there.

(My eldest daughter)

(Dad, pick up some fried
chicken on your way home.)

(Okay.)

Sorry, that was an important text.

Director Ha.

Why did you want to see me?

Well, the other day,

I saw you were having a hard time,

so I wanted to comfort you.

Comfort me?

Well, I know you're
under a lot of stress now.

Wasn't it your decision to acquire WIND?

Well, it was.

Then we should take
responsibility together.

Isn't it unacceptable to act
like it's none of your business?

Unacceptable? What are you talking about?

IPO is the IR team's responsibility.

Director Lee apologized to me already.

And WIND...

will go public.

Mr. Oh.

How did you become a board
member when you were this dense?

What do you mean?

I heard you got chewed
out by the chairman recently.

He was just...

He just said some stuff out of anger.

And to be honest,

it wasn't that bad.

What are you saying?

Hey, that is not the point.

Listen, Mr. Oh.

Do you think Chairman Song
chewed you out like that...

because of WIND?

That day, he called
Director Lee to his office...

and scolded you like that...

so Director Lee would
hear it. It wasn't about you.

What?

But I know they're close.

Why would he do that?

Because they're close.

He didn't want to say it
directly to Director Lee.

That's why he called you there...

and said what he wanted
to say to Director Lee.

Like I said, IPO is the IR team's job.

- So?
- What do you mean, so?

Don't let them walk all over you.

Stop beating around the bush.

If you have something to say, just say it.

Your contract renewal is coming up, right?

You need to tell people the
truth if you want to keep your job.

What are you talking about?

Tell the truth that
Director Lee is to blame.

You want people to know the truth.

Can you do that?

You said even Chairman
Song called me there...

because he couldn't scold him.

Right, exactly.

That's why we should call a board meeting.

What?

What, then? Do you have another idea?

Yes.

- I'm sorry I'm late.
- No, it's fine.

You're right on time.

I called them here to
have a drink with them too.

- Sure.
- That's okay, right?

- Sir.
- We're here.

Yes, hi.

- Mr. Kim.
- Oh, hey. You're here too.

What brings you here?

I came to have dinner.
Why else would I be here?

What's your level?

Around Level Three, I'd say.

Come on. I can tell you'd be very good.

Then we can play without a bet.

Without a bet?

What would be the fun in that?

Please take a seat.

I'm telling you. This place has
the best sashimi in the country.

You know, I can't betray Director Lee.

I'll be going, then.

Hey, come on.

No one told you to betray him.

What, then? Are you
saying Mr. Kim is a traitor?

Let's just stay for dinner.
That's what I'm doing.

Mr. Oh, you have a knife at your throat,

yet you still care who's on whose side?

Look around you now.

The board meeting will
be held even without you.

Then why did you call me here?

You can leave, then.

Come on.

Will you stand there as you listen to us?

I told you. I have something to tell you.

Mr. Oh.

Come on.

I mean...

I understand the situation, but
a board meeting is too much.

You're saying we should
turn our backs on him...

right in front of him.

What, then?

Will you resign in his place, then?

Why should I resign?

If you can't get your
contract renewed this time,

you will have to leave.

Both Director Lee and Yoon Joo No...

really shouldn't do that.

Well, then how about...

Yoon Joo No takes
responsibility for everything?

That will be a good solution too.

- Please help yourself.
- Yes.

Oh, this looks good.

Here.

You see,

I'm not saying we should
gang up against Director Lee.

I'm simply suggesting...

we give him a reason to
give up on Yoon Joo No.

The choice is his.

But...

if he says he'll take responsibility
for everything and retire,

then what are we going
to do about Yoon Joo No?

He'll just receive an indulgence, won't he?

Indulgence.

Why do you think Yoon Joo
No came to the head office?

Do you know the reason?

Here. Mr. Oh, come on.

Cheers.

You see,

when you're handling a large sum of money,

you get confused.

You know the money isn't yours,

but you feel like it's yours
because it's in your hands.

That's why money is a scary thing.

- Is that really true?
- Yes.

When you do M and A deals,

you handle hundreds of millions of dollars.

So, you start thinking money is a joke,

and you feel like it's all yours.

One should be afraid of money.

Yes, exactly.

You know,

when you go out there to acquire a company,

you meet many fools who
ask for 20 million dollars...

when their company
is only worth ten million.

But they can never win
against M and A experts.

In the end, they sell their business
for five million and call it quits.

Then what about me?

I only paid 5 million for a
company that's worth 10 million,

which means I brought in a
profit of five million dollars.

That's true.

But what about my salary?

It's pathetic.

And I don't know when I might get fired.

So, one can't help but think, "I
should pocket some of this..."

"when I have the chance."

Right, I get it.

The easiest thing to do would
be to offer seven million dollars...

to the person who wants to
sell a company worth five million,

then ask for a million-dollar commission.

Then you can tell your boss that...

you managed to acquire a company
worth 10 million for only 7 million,

but that's too easy.

What?

Are you saying Yoon Joo No took rebates?

You see...

I'm not trying to be mean...

to my former mentee for
collecting some kickbacks.

He is...

My gosh.

I swear,

I've never told anyone this, but...

- You know JUMBO Pharma, right?
- Of course.

Sanin nearly went bust because of them.

That was...

That was Yoon Joo No's work.

I know the Prosecutors'
Office investigated that case,

but they found nothing. Am I wrong?

That's not true.

Yoon Joo No did it in his brother's name.

But then,

his brother died while being investigated.

Because the suspect died,

they had no choice but to close the case.

Director Lee feels bad about that.

He feels sorry.

You all know how he is.

My gosh.

You're very good.

He's always agreeable and never complains.

He doesn't want to be blamed for
anything, so he never speaks out.

A personality like that makes
problems get out of hand.

A wound festers when left untreated.

Yoon Joo No is a ticking
bomb waiting to explode.

He's a problem bound to explode.

So, we need to deal with
Director Lee sooner than later.

If not, we're all finished.

But...

Yoon Joo No must
know a lot about that stuff.

He bought shares in his brother's
name? Wouldn't it be too obvious?

Look at this.

This is how kindhearted people think.

I'm not that kind.

If you were told to hire someone
to manage all your money,

you could never do it.

Most people can't even
let their own children do it.

Which means,

Yoon Joo No and his
brother were extremely close.

That's why it all happened.

Joo No.

Help me.

You're investing in JUMBO, aren't you?

How did you know?

How?

How did you find out?

Sanin won't invest in that company.

That company is a fraud.

Hey, don't lie to me.

Shouldn't it go up if
Sanin is investing in them?

But...

But why is it dropping?

Joo No.

Help me out once.

If you don't, I'll die.

Please.

Hi.

This way, please.

- The quantity is 10,001.
- The quantity is 10,001.

- The unit price is 25 dollars.
- The unit price is 25 dollars.

Twenty percent of the total
amount will be paid this month.

- It will serve...
- It will serve...

- as the down payment.
- as the down payment.

Understood.

Please reconfirm the
50 percent discount rate...

as the quantity is
10,0001, exceeding 10,000.

Please reconfirm the
50 percent discount rate.

We already have the signature of
WIND's CEO, Park Rae Gyeong.

We have also attached
our guarantee as the agent.

They have also attached
their guarantee as the agent.

Here.

Thank you.

Please.

We'll be receiving the
quantity intended for Speed...

in Korea from SHIMIZ.

In Korea from SHIMIZ.

The MOU agreement with
Speed will be attached later.

Thank you.

All clear.

We have no issues.

This company makes bicycles, yes?

They make bicycles, yes?

Does WIND make bicycles?

Yes, they do.

May I give him an explanation?

WIND also makes equipment for archery.

- In the archery industry...
- My apologies.

I can't sign this contract.

He says he can't sign it.

What's the reason?

Why can't you sign the contract?

It's because I can't trust this company.

Mr. Naito.

You're being rude before our guests.

Mr. Yoshida.

Aren't you proceeding with this contract...

to fill your quota and return to Tokyo?

Calm down, Mr. Naito.

You're the same, no?

Please excuse me.

- Wait.
- Excuse me.

What are you doing, Mr. Naito?

Mr. Naito? What is it?

Mr. Naito.

Mr. Naito. Please wait a minute.

Can you not trust WIND...

because of the change in order quantity?

If we were trying to deceive SHIMIZ,

we would've purchased the
gears from other bicycle companies.

As mentioned,

Korea's bicycle industry is in a slump.

Listen.

The contract has once changed.

That means it can change again, no?

Signing such a contract is meaningless.

If the contract can change...

at any time, he sees no
reason for another one.

That's why we're
signing the contract today.

A contract is a promise to be kept...

and also specifies the
penalties when breached.

A contract is...

My apologies, but I don't understand.

But...

a company that has once broken its word...

will do it again.

I know that for sure.

Please excuse me.

He said that a promise...

once broken could be broken again.

My deepest apologies.

My apologies.

For changing the quantity on the contract,

the production manager's
approval is required...

from the perspective of
managing supply issues.

I'm very sorry things
have turned out this way.

There must be a reason
Mr. Naito is taking such a stance.

I can't say what the reason is.

But it should be noted...

that he comes from a
generation of craftsmen.

That's why he has a very strong will...

and lacks business admin.

Does Mr. Naito's parents also make gears?

Not gears.

But his father was also a master craftsman.

Specifically, precision machining.

He even had his own factory.

The work clothes Mr. Naito was wearing...

were probably from his father's company.

Yes.

Yes.

Since that factory is currently SHIMIZ's.

Mr. Naito is continuing his family legacy,

running the factory himself.

I believe Japan is sustained...

by such craftsmanship.

(SHIMIZ)

Dad!

Ken. Why are you here?

Did something happen?

Okay.

What?

Great work.

Did you sign the contract?

- Let's eat.
- No.

What happened?

We have too many cancellations these days.

I know.

The warehouse is almost full.

It's fine as long as we make good products.

That's true, but...

Great work.

I don't think we can proceed...

with the contract any further.

I'm very sorry.

- My apologies.
- No, it's okay.

I'll see you off.

- Ms. Hirose.
- Yes?

Is there a way I can meet Mr. Naito?

He usually goes to the factory.

Excuse me. Please take us to this address.

Is it SHIMIZ Factory?

Yes. Do you know this place?

Of course.

It's been there for over 100 years.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

Is SHIMIZ's permission
required to receive...

Speed's quantity on their behalf?

Yes.

The resale prohibition
clause is quite strict.

Can we delay our
quantity contract schedule?

No. We already have an
OEM contract scheduled.

Hello.

Who are you?

We're from WIND,

a company in Korea.

Can we meet the factory manager?

You're involved in the contract, right?

Yes.

Mr. Naito.

Mr. Naito.

Guests from the Korean company are here.

(Ongojisin)

To show up without an appointment.

He said we came without notice.

My apologies.

There's a question I'd like to ask.

I have nothing more to say.

Please return.

Mr. Naito.

Right. What's this?

Hey, kid.

Check if we don't have to do it.

Excuse me.

Can you ask if he's
coming to work tomorrow?

Is Mr. Naito coming to work tomorrow?

The manager comes to work every day.

I see.

Apparently, he comes to work every day.

(Ongojisin)

CEO Park Rae Gyeong's
name was on the contract, right?

Yes. His name and signature were on it.

Mr. Naito asked if the
headquarters made bicycles...

before he signed the contract.

Yes. I replied yes...

and added they also made archery equipment.

Did the contract proceed well?

My apologies. We couldn't make the deal.

What happened?

The factory manager is a metal craftsman.

He's against the contract.

I see.

That's not uncommon in Japan.

Japanese craftsmen have great pride.

That gave me a hard time...

when I took over DAICHI.

Right. I can imagine.

Yes.

Until the early 1990s,

DAICHI was number one in archery equipment.

But among athletes,
they had already lost...

the market to us.

DAICHI's situation worsened eventually,

and they had to sell the company.

And that was how you took over the company.

I didn't because I needed
DAICHI's technique.

Technique-wise, we were already...

ahead of them.

Then why did you buy the company?

(CEO's Office)

DAICHI had a great reputation.

Had another company taken over DAICHI,

that company would've quickly
caught up to WIND's reputation.

In short, you took over
as a defensive measure.

Correct.

But...

back then, DAICHI set such a condition...

for acquisition.

"Make better archery
equipment than DAICHI."

I was taken aback at first.

At first, I thought he was bluffing.

But now that I think about it,

he must've been sincere about it.

Mr. Park.

Can you spare me some time?

I'll come over at once.

May I ask why?

The DAICHI photo hanging in WIND's office.

That?

The one I took when taking over DAICHI?

Yes.

The craftsman in that photo...

drew the blueprint, right?

Correct.

That's why I gifted the frame to him.

"Ongojisin."

You remember.

You wrote it yourself, yes?

The craftsman asked me to.

(DAICHI)

The boy in the photo is
the craftsman's son, right?

Yes.

Do you remember his name?

I don't remember the son's name.

But the craftsman's name...

was Naito DAICHI.

I see.

Mr. Park.

I need that photo.

Sorry?

You need the photo?

Yes.

Hey.

It's right here.

And wait.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You even came to work today.

That's amazing.

Can't you please return?

There's something we must ask.

Could you please wait for a little while?

You people standing
around here is troublesome.

How much longer will it take?

Please, we ask of you.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Fine. What is it that
you want to talk about?

I would like to check something first.

Did you refuse to sign the contract...

because you noticed Park
Rae Gyeong's name on it?

We'd like to confirm something.

Did you refuse to sign the contract...

because you noticed the
name Park Rae Gyeong on it?

You never saw Park Rae
Gyeong's name in past contracts,

as there were no quantity modifications.

But Park Rae Gyeong took
part as an authorized signatory,

and you saw the name. Am I not right?

Unlike before, you were involved...

in the revised contract,

And that made you discover
Park Rae Gyeong's name. Yes?

So what about it?

CEO Park Rae Gyeong took over DAICHI,

the company making archery equipment,

which caused the number
one archery company...

in the world to disappear.

With WIND acquiring DAICHI,

the best archery company in
the world, DAICHI disappeared.

What...

That's enough!

All right?

Wasn't your father...

a craftsman who made
archery equipment at DAICHI?

Your father was a craftsman...

who made archery equipment...

- at DAICHI, yes?
- Yes, that's right.

Wait.

Did everyone come all
the way here to tell me that?

I have something for you.

(WIND)

To give you this, Mr. Yoon made...

a round trip to Korea.

But due to the flight delay, he was late.

Please forgive him.

Listen.

If it's the contract, I will not sign it.

And I've already told you that.

It's not the contract.

But it is related to the promise.

It's not the contract.

It's about the promise.

(Ongojisin)

That's the picture of your father...

and the CEO of WIND, Park
Rae Gyeong, from 30 years ago.

When your father...

sold DAICHI to CEO Park Rae Gyeong,

he gave the CEO the
hand-drawn blueprint of a bow...

as a present.

When your father sold DAICHI,

he gave CEO Park Rae Gyeong...

the blueprint as a present.

With the request to make the best bow...

to the CEO.

With the request to make
the best bow to the CEO.

And CEO Park gifted your father...

a calligraphy piece for
a motto as a present.

The motto was...

ongojisin.

In return, CEO Park...

gave your father a calligraphy
piece for a motto that said,

"Gain new insights..."

"by learning from the past" as a present.

Well...

Don't you know that...

this is an insult...

to the spirit of our craftsmanship?

That's how you saw it.

Despite that, you still hung the motto.

Despite your disapproval,

- why did you hang the calligraphy?
- What?

That...

I saw it every day...

and tried to understand
how my father must have felt.

Your father chose the motto...

for the calligraphy.

The motto for the calligraphy
was requested by your father.

I reckon that...

your father must have wanted
you to continue his legacy...

while hoping that...

you would pave your own path.

Your father might have wanted you...

to continue his legacy...

while you pursued something new...

on your own.

(Ongojisin)

Dad.

I'm back.

Welcome back.

All right.

I told you not to come to the factory.

No.

I'll be a master craftsman just like you.

Really?

Yes. I promise.

Okay.

That's me.

Can you see?

That's your grandpa.

I'm sorry.

Dad, I have your life now.

The kid in the picture grew so much.

Right?

What's this?

Candy?

Your grandpa used to give me
candy when I came to the factory...

after school.

Thank you.

It's a letter...

from CEO Park to you.

This is a letter from CEO Park.

Hello.

I'm the CEO of WIND, Park Rae Gyeong.

When I bought DAICHI, your father...

asked me to make the best bow in the world.

He gave me a hand-drawn
blueprint of the bow.

Archery has changed so much
compared to all those years ago.

But my intention to make good bows...

has not changed.

WIND didn't eliminate DAICHI.

WIND is the only company...

that has been continuing
your father's craftsmanship.

And "ongojisin."

This motto was...

what your father wanted to tell you.

I heard that you had been following...

your father's wish.

I will continue to root for you
for your future endeavours.

From Park Rae Gyeong.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Yes, Director Lee.

The deal has gone through.
We're on our way back.

The discount rate is 50 percent.

This condition is much more favourable.

That was a big win.

How impressive.

But you haven't reported it
to the chairman yet, right?

No. It's the weekend.

I'll do so once I'm at work.

But...

could you delay reporting
it to the chairman?

Sure. I'll do that.

Jin Soo.

Aren't you sad to be leaving Japan?

My gosh. But...

I'm so relieved that the deal went through.

Right.

That's why.

I'm hungry because we just signed the deal.

My gosh. Aren't you hungry?

Sort of.

- Right? Goodness.
- Wait.

You're still here.

I didn't think you guys had time to eat.

My boss told me to make
sure you guys had some food.

I knew it. You guys are very kind.

- We were actually getting hungry.
- I see.

Wait, no.

We know what this means now.

You want us to leave, right?

Gosh, no. We sincerely want
to treat you to a nice meal.

Really? You mean it?

Yes, really.

She means it.

I was nervous the whole day.
And now that I'm a bit relaxed,

I'm getting hungry.

Right. We're about to
have some food together.

What do you think, Mr. Yoon?

Sure. Sounds good.

Where should I bring you?

Well, what's good here?

Then...

how about ramen?

You already had fishcakes.

You also had fishcakes, didn't you?

- I...
- Yes.

Does it mean...

she knew that we were tailing them?

I guess so.

Oh, my.

Maybe, she's only genuine...

- about you.
- Enjoy.

It's nothing like that.

- Thank you for the food.
- Enjoy.

Let's eat together.

Then...

- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.

Jin Soo asked me to help you
get transferred to Tokyo too.

Yes, I heard it from my boss.

But...

I like Shizuoka.

Yes. I've heard.

I see.

You helped us in many ways.

No. I should thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

- I'll be in touch.
- Okay.

Thank you for your help.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Thank you for your help.

(Sanin)

Hello.

(Board Meeting Minutes)

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

It seems Director Lee won't be joining us.

Well, he must be embarrassed
to show his face around.

- Let's all be understanding.
- What?

Are you implying he's responsible
for this problem with WIND?

Have you gone mad?

Then who's responsible for it?

Which team is in charge of
getting subsidiaries listed?

I see.

You didn't publish the
news article yet, right?

No, it's on standby.

Should I publish it?

- Yes.
- Yes, sir.

Should we begin our meeting
without Director Lee then?

Yes. Let's do that.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Now that everyone is present,
let us begin the board meeting.

Our main agenda today is...

Let's start with the other matter.

That seems to be more important.

I see. All right.

There is the matter...

regarding the failure
of getting WIND listed.

Director Lee, we need you to
explain what happened there.

WIND will get listed without a problem...

as long as the sales are good.

To get a company listed, you
need more than just numbers.

It's about the momentum.

So...

are you holding me responsible?

You're not the only one responsible.

But it would be embarrassing
if you blamed someone else...

for the failure. Don't you agree?

If the deal went through in Japan,
things could've been different.

But I take it that it didn't. Am I wrong?

Or if you want, we can
have a show of hands.

Why would we do that? This
matter doesn't require a vote.

Shouldn't we make it clear...

who is responsible for this?

Sure. Let's do that.

All right then.

If you believe the failure of WIND
getting listed is IR Team's fault,

raise your hands.

Mr. Oh, are you raising your hand now?

Yes.

My gosh.

Hello. I'm stopping by briefly
to bring you up to speed.

First of all, the supply contract
with SHIMIZ has been completed.

Who approved the down
payment for the contract?

As the contract was signed on a weekend,

I plan to request the approval today.

WIND will release news
articles about its new product.

As WIND struggled to get listed
due to the uncertainty about sales,

I believe that this contract
should remedy such uncertainty.

Then excuse me.

May I be excused too?

Director Lee. I didn't mean to...

- Mr. Oh.
- Yes, Director Lee.

Resign if you'll blame other people
because you don't think it's fair.

No, I never thought it wasn't fair.

I'm sorry.

Get back to work.

I hear your contract
renewal is around the corner.

(Main Agenda)

Hey.

How was your trip to Japan?

It went well.

I knew it.

I found the players for the operation.

They're still doing the same thing.

That's good.

Then...

should I begin?

I'll call you right back.

Yes, Director Lee.

Hey, you're still up.

I'm sorry to call you at this late hour.

No. Please go ahead.

There's a problem.

The chairman took out a loan
with the stocks as collateral.

And it seems he arranged
it through his secretary.

He must have wanted to do it secretly.

This wasn't disclosed to the public.

The secretary must have
realized that this was a problem...

when the loan was almost due.

(Stock Pledge Agreement)

It could be that the chairman
didn't want anyone to know.

Is this bad?

Of course, it's bad.

Could you help me out for my sake?

Let's discuss this further in person.

Okay.

(The Art of Negotiation)

Can I ask you where you
spent 50 million dollars?

This is off.

We need to borrow the money
from somewhere and pay it back fast.

Do you think you can do it?

I'll take care of it.

If the tabloids start reporting that...

he doesn't even have 50 million dollars...

The stock price can plummet.

I bought a resort.

Are you seriously considering to sell it?

I believe we should.

I'm the owner of Unit 123.

You must be from Sanin.

You've been here for a year?

It turns out someone named
Song Ji O is the real owner.

Don't sell it.

Is there a reason I shouldn't?
