Would you like to come inside?

Yu Ri,

there's something I want to ask.

On that day...

The day we first met after breaking up.

The day I was transferred to the team?

Why...

did you do it?

Why did you send Jung Sun that text message?

Because...

I wanted to...

cause a rift between you two.

(Ms. Na Jung Sun)

(Ms. Na Jung Sun)

I'll get going then.

Where are you right now?

How dare you send me that text.

You crossed the line.

There's a limit to one stabbing others in the back...

while pretending to be innocent.

How dare you!

Jung Sun?

Is that why you took the CCTV footage?

To protect that cow?

You jerk.

Get off my team.

Everyone knows...

that you are having an affair with Sung Jun.

Leave on your own accord before things get dirty.

Get some rest.

I'm sorry.

I got jealous of her...

ever since the first day of my transfer.

Greet everyone.

Hello, I'm On Yu Ri.

Go into this page and type in your employee number and password.

I've never worked in an office before,

so I'm not sure what my password is.

Then I'll ask the Human Resources for the initial password.

- Yes, thank you. - That's when I knew...

I could...

never win against her.

Why is someone like her your wife?

I got angry at myself for how petty...

I seemed.

I couldn't take how I'll be,

no, how our relationship will end up like it never existed.

I wanted to make a scratch.

I wanted to hurt it.

But...

Okay, good.

Your mother will be fine.

She'll wake up for your sake, if anything.

You did a great job for a first-timer.

But she was such a great person.

I quickly regretted doing that.

I know I'm a wicked person.

But...

don't hate me.

Please.

Please don't hate me.

(Request From for Divorce by Agreement)

(Episode 13: Two Opponents)

No way. Take a look at this.

What is it?

- What? - This is huge.

(Personnel Order: dismissal, Senior Director Bae Do Il)

What's going on?

He's fired?

Do you think it's all over?

Wait here.

I'll make sure I return and destroy you.

So you're saying...

while you refused to give into Mr. Bae's threat,

he harassed you sexually.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Is it also true that you made the video recordings...

of Tifone exhibit and gave it to Senior Director Bae Do Il...

on October 29?

Yes.

Our sales dropped by 10 percent compared to last week too.

The percentage drop in the revenue for the 30s and the 40s is bigger.

It'll get quiet pretty soon.

They might be angry now,

but the public sentiment soon gets quiet, doesn't it?

After a sexual harassment scandal broke out at Yeojin Food last year,

they still haven't recovered the market share to this day.

And distribution companies tend to suffer more from these issues...

because our target is primarily domestic.

It's important to keep our action consistent.

Do not be afraid to see the case blow up...

as we'll have to cut off the rotten parts.

If we try to cover it up, it'll bring about bigger trouble.

For our Foundation Day event this year, let's hold a small workshop...

among the executives since we had a bit of an awful scandal.

This doesn't change that Sung Un's foundation remains strong.

We'll be able to recover from this crisis...

with the strengths we accumulated over the years.

Please do your best in each of your positions.

Mr. Park, may I have a word with you?

Sure.

I decided to deal with Mr. Bae...

according to your proposal.

So...

did you give it a thought?

I'm sorry.

I'm grateful for your offer,

but I'll have to turn it down.

If you're grateful, you should accept it.

I worked with the vice president for a long time.

There have been many crises,

but he always trusted me without getting shaken.

I think I owe him for all that time.

What a shame.

For me and you.

Ms. Lee, I brought the proposal for the new gift card design.

Leave it there.

As you know, I have a long way to go.

I have a lot more to learn from you.

Could you continue to teach me?

This isn't a school. Who am I to teach anyone?

We're supposed to learn how to do our jobs on our own.

I'm guessing you're asking because of your deal with Ms. Na.

But work is work, and private life is private life.

I'm not looking to create some kind of a clique.

But...

you can't have...

everything, can you?

Ms. Ha and Mr. Park?

The new woman is going to push out the old man.

Ms. Ha must think...

there are way too many people already on Mr. Ha's side.

And Mr. Park is the closest one to him.

So what can she do?

She'll either have to...

lure them into her side.

If that doesn't work, she'll have to get rid of them.

What do you think Mr. Park will do?

Do you think he'll side with Ms. Ha?

He won't...

let go of Mr. Park.

They have such a tight relationship.

He'll probably stay with Mr. Ha.

What are you doing?

I picked it up on my way here.

So...

Chocolate prevents the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol...

and makes you feel happy.

Hulk smash!

Cheer up.

Thank you.

Good luck.

[VIU Ver] SBS E25 'VIP' "Yu Ri's Intention" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

Thank you again for helping us.

- Sure. - Thank you.

- Thanks. - Have a coffee.

How did the interview go?

Yes?

It was okay.

Well done.

I have a lot on my mind.

I told them about the video too.

What I did was wrong.

I can't complain if they penalize me for it.

If I get penalized right now,

I'll never get promoted.

I'm wondering if staying on would be a nuisance to the team.

After what I've been through,

I wonder if it's worth to keep fighting.

And my baby bump will start to grow bigger soon.

Maybe I should really stop now.

Take some time off and then come back.

You had a hard time.

Play with the kids all you want and eat tasty things.

Then come back.

Did you talk things out?

- Yes. - Good.

The customizable diffuser that Ms. On suggested...

was well-received by the VIPs, so we'll produce it early next year.

Ms. On.

Will you keep her on the VIP Management Team?

Your team is a core strategic one.

Having an ally there will ensure...

the president takes me seriously.

I know what you're concerned about.

It's up to her to survive in that team.

Right.

Still, I should slowly begin to prepare for things.

It's really nice to walk with you and not the helper lady today.

You'll hurt yourself. Be careful.

- Hello. - Do this.

- It's terrible. - Just like this.

- Yu Rim, you too. - Okay.

- It's weird. - The bus is here.

Stop!

- We're here. - It's weird.

What is?

- Hello. - Hi.

- Slowly, slowly. - Wait for your turn.

Go on.

- Se Hoon! - Da Hee.

Sit down.

- Have fun. - Thank you, teacher.

- Eat a lot. - Take care.

I'll call you later.

- Bye. - Have fun!

- Bye! - Let's go.

Do you work?

I haven't seen you around before.

Moms these days are so particular.

You'd think they parted with their kids in a war.

It's okay.

After a certain age, kids stop looking for their moms.

Just shower them with love when you're with them.

No mom has everything in the world.

My daughter works too.

You remind me of her. See you around.

- Hello. - The office...

looks empty today.

Where'd she go?

To the Foundation Day executive event.

Oh, okay.

What? Isn't that event for husbands and wives?

- That's a good thing. - Is it?

- I'll see you around then. - Sure.

- Hi, there. - Hello.

Your wife didn't come with you?

No. Something came up.

I see.

Meet my wife.

- How are you? - Fine, thanks.

Oh, there she is.

Your husband said you had something come up.

You made it.

I managed to reschedule.

- See you later. - Okay.

Let's sit.

Try to relax.

People are watching.

- Jung Sun. - I thought about it.

What would make you feel the worst?

I won't divorce you.

It will ruin us both.

I told you.

I'll bring you down with me.

Can I help you?

Are there a pair of shoes that even...

a pregnant woman can wear comfortably?

Could you recommend something?

How about these?

They both are cushioned for comfort...

and pregnant women ask for these a lot.

My wife likes red.

- I'll take this. - Okay.

What's her size?

- 230mm. - Okay.

Should I get her a bigger size since her feet might swell?

- Yes. I'll get you a bigger size. - Thanks.

Are you seeing someone?

It's for my wife.

What's in your brain?

Can we have some common sense?

Why would you get your wife something if it's not a special day?

She's been through a lot. I want to cheer her up.

You've suddenly grown up.

You'll go to paradise.

- Do you go to church now? - Watch it. Get lost.

Why would you put up with blackmail just to get promoted?

How much longer do you think I'll last if I miss out again?

You can just quit.

- What? - Just quit!

I'll support you somehow.

That's easy for you to say.

You said it drains you.

Working and raising kids.

Rather than do this, you might as well quit and...

Don't talk about it so flippantly!

Why do you think I'm trying so hard to stay?

Why, when I even feel bad for the kids?

Sometimes...

I wonder if I should put up with this.

Sometimes I'm not sure if this is what I want to do.

But if I give this up too, I might not be able to do anything.

That's why I'm hanging on.

I know that hanging on won't make a difference.

But...

What do I do if I can't think of any other option?

After working through my twenties, this is the only thing I have left.

So how can I quit?

I put myself through college while working part-time...

and I've been working my butt off to survive in this workplace.

If I quit now,

all that time and effort I put into my life...

will disappear like a mirage.

I...

worry that it'll make me lose myself as well.

That scares me.

Of course being the boys' mom is precious to me,

but...

I also want to have a life...

as Song Mi Na.

Am I being too selfish?

Of course not.

Please don't cry.

It's all right.

It's all right.

(We must be able to be honest with each other.)

So this is what's important.

You don't have to tell each other everything,

but you must be able to say it when the time comes.

Now, let me ask those here how honest you are with each other.

All right. Let me ask Vice President Ha.

Mr. Ha, do you think that you're honest with your wife?

I'm working very hard to be so.

I know what's going on before he tells me anything.

It's hard to keep secrets between old married couples.

Yes, of course. You're right.

That being said,

let me ask one of the most recently married couple here.

There they are.

Senior Director Park Sung Jun.

Do you feel like you can tell your wife everything?

(Senior Director Park Sung Jun)

(Ha Yu Ri)

For the sake of their marriage,

I won't push any further.

Here's the third principle of marriages.

"Do not yell at each other."

No way. We all get angry, right?

How can a couple argue without yelling?

Ms. Na?

I've heard a lot about you.

All of them were compliments.

I'll be needing the help of those who are talented and competent.

I'm keeping my eye on you.

Thank you, ma'am.

There.

It's delicious.

Dad's doesn't even come close.

Do you like it when I make you snacks?

- Yes. - Yes.

Should I make them for you all the time?

Mom, are we going broke?

Is that it?

What?

What do you mean?

Go on. It won't kill you.

It tasted good to me.

Young Jun,

what if I...

quit my job and stayed home?

- Dad. - What?

Are we going broke?

What do you mean?

You need to keep making money.

Your mom's making enough too.

Why do you want your mom to stay at home...

but not me?

That's because it's Mom.

If you stay home,

my friends will make fun of me.

Your food is awful too.

Unbelievable.

Your mom has one of the toughest jobs.

When we got married,

I promised your mom that I'd protect her.

But come to think of it now,

your mom might faint instead from working hard to protect us all.

Is Mom dying?

Why do you always go to the extreme?

That's not it.

She's been working very hard...

to keep her job and raise you two.

I'm saying we should be nicer to her.

What do you say?

Here's the important part.

I only say this from one man to another.

Being a dad...

is a tough job.

If you quit your job,

does it mean we'll go broke?

Of course not. Now eat up.

- Are you all right? - Hold still.

Let's see.

Someone from our team got a promotion.

What?

(HR Announcement)

(Ha Yu Ri)

(From VIP Management Team to Prestige Team, Promoted to Chief)

What on earth is this?

Chief Ha Yu Ri?

They're taking care of their own, is that it?

What on earth is this Prestige Team?

Rumor has it that it will manage Black Diamond members.

What about your team then?

Unbelievable.

You've got to be kidding me.

(HR Announcement)

There's been an announcement for a promotion.

Nice work.

I think Vice President Ha made his move before...

the general stockholders' meeting.

He plans to build a team with the highest revenue to take the control.

Congratulations.

You're on the highway to success.

Yes, thank you.

Your father gave you the position as chief,

but how will you take that spot?

Mr. Cha!

We're on our way to grab a drink. Want to join us?

- Sure, let's go. - Okay. Let's go!

Chief Ha Yu Ri? This is crazy.

It has to be some kind of a joke.

What do you think, Ms. Lee?

She's promoted to the same rank as you.

How are things at your team?

Well,

it's the company's decision. We can't help it.

Mr. Cha, look.

Here's the situation.

Now, let's say this is the VIP Management Team.

Our sales is...

about 60 percent of the entire department store's sales.

Do you get it? The Pareto principle.

And who are the members of the Black Diamond?

This is the top 999 people who spend the most...

at our department store, our best customers.

And the sales those 999 people give us...

add up to about 70 percent of this part right here.

If they want to take away our best customers,

it means they'll get rid of the VIP Management Team.

My gosh. The innocent bystanders will get hurt in this fight...

and get split up everywhere.

We might end up getting abandoned.

Mr. Park can't do this to us.

I didn't think he was like this.

Ms. Lee.

Are you doing all right nowadays?

I'm fine.

Isn't she that woman?

The woman who participated in the Me Too movement.

What? Is she drinking with a guy?

After all that she did to damage our image?

Exactly.

If I were her, I'd live quietly for a while.

What's with them?

Excuse me.

Were we being a bit too loud?

Oh, no.

It seemed like you were saying something about us.

I was wondering if we were being a nuisance.

No, it's...

If you have something to say, don't talk behind our backs,

but say it to our face.

If you don't, it'll cause a misunderstanding.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Please do that. Thanks.

Mr. Cha, you're really something.

Nice job.

Is the restroom crowded?

No, it's fine.

I'll be back.

Can you see through this?

Did you wash up?

You know, I think it's all right...

for you to run away from home sometimes.

I had to sleep all alone,

then you came back.

I can feel my heart racing as if we just got married again.

If things get slower again, should I leave next time?

Oh, right. That's a bit too much.

I should have stopped when I told you my heart raced.

This is the problem with me now. I say a little too much.

Take this.

What is this?

Open it.

Did you get these?

Young Jun did. I'm joking. It was me.

I mean, your feet got swollen up.

It must be tough to go around in heels.

Thank you.

It's just a pair of shoes.

Put them on. Try them on.

Never mind, I'll put them on you.

Give those to me.

Okay. Left foot.

Did you just wash your hair?

I'm just joking.

All right. They fit you perfectly. I was worried.

Good.

Honey.

Should I quit?

What? Because of what happened?

Just because.

Young Jun will be entering elementary school soon.

And we'll have this child soon too.

But we'll have to make much more money,

so it'll be burdensome to make a living all alone.

You can do whatever you want.

It must be difficult for you to hold out too.

It doesn't matter what happens. You'll have to live first.

I'm sure we'll be able to make a living.

Gosh, I wonder who got you these shoes. These are so pretty.

Don't get these wet. These are suede shoes.

Man, I think I had a bit too much to drink.

I need to go to the restroom again.

Oh, cheers.

The unwelcome guest will leave first.

Ms. Kang just texted me and said she's leaving.

I see.

Okay.

Should we get going too?

Yes, let's go.

Do you want to take a walk to sober up a little?

I always thought I was rather good at making conversation,

but this is oddly difficult.

Like I said,

you can relax.

You're right.

I want to do that.

I'm grateful for you.

I'm pretending to be strong,

but I'm barely holding out.

You said you wanted to be my help.

And what you said helped me out greatly.

I'm glad...

if that helped you out even a bit.

I mean it.

It must be difficult to hold out.

I'm not sure if you would be up for it,

but feel free to use me whenever you need me.

I'm not sure if I'll be any useful.

(To Cha Jin Ho)

I had fun today.

(Let's do this again.)

Let's do this again.

(Send)

Okay. For sure.

Yes. Yes, I understand.

Mi Na, were you in charge of the Di Aclaro restaurant deal?

Di Aclaro's contract is Yu Ri...

Chief Ha was in charge of it.

Chief Ha was transferred to the Prestige Team.

- Mi Na, can you... - I'll finish the deal before I go.

It's in the final stages.

Rather than switching the person in charge now,

I think this would be better.

The visit was rescheduled to today.

We'll go with the Communication Team, so be ready.

- Okay. - Sang Woo...

ask Business Planning if they reviewed the contract.

Okay.

Isn't that Mr. Park?

What brings you here?

Starting with this, all contracts with partner businesses regarding...

the VIP will be handled by Marketing.

Marketing doesn't have the authority to make...

such decisions without discussing.

It was the vice president's order.

Mr. Park. I'm sorry.

I apologize.

I turned down the wrong alley.

[VIU Ver] SBS E26 'VIP' "Jung Sun's Counterstrategy" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

How many people can the restaurant accommodate?

30 people maximum.

What age group are most of your customers?

It's evenly spread out.

Hello.

I heard you run a rooftop garden.

Yes. It's closed now because it's winter.

It's open from spring to fall.

Could I have a look?

- Use this to enter the rooftop. - Thank you.

I didn't plan it.

I wanted to die many times after my mom got sick.

It was because life was tough,

but also because I didn't have a reason to go on.

I lived because of my mom,

but sometimes,

I wanted to be selfish and kill myself.

But after I met you,

I found a reason to live.

It was the first time...

I felt glad to be alive.

That's why I was desperate.

It's not much of an excuse, but that's why I did it.

Yes. It's not much of an excuse.

Don't find a reason from that.

Such a thing can crumble down easily, and I mean very easily.

You never know when Sung Jun will meet someone else like you.

Yes, Ms. Na.

The door's locked?

Yes. Get an employee to open it now.

I'll be right there.

I'm sorry. I think the sensor's broken.

We must call the security company.

How long will that take?

About 20 to 30 minutes.

It'll be really cold out there.

I hope they hurry.

Stop pretending to be so pitiful and come over here.

- Are you all right? - I'm fine. Thank you.

I'll ride with Mr. Park.

Did you have to react that way?

Jung Sun was drenched too.

Even if you're blinded by her, that's not...

That's not right.

Someone said that...

it's better to be really bad than be somewhat bad.

It's best for Jung Sun if I make things clear.

Drink this.

Can you...

stay with me tonight?

I will.

Ms. Na of the VIP Management Team is here to see you.

Tell her to come in.

Yes, ma'am.

Have a seat.

What's this?

(Prestige Team, The Black Society Project)

The Black Society?

I'm sure you're aware of this,

but Vice President Ha created the Prestige Team...

in order to take credit for the revenues from our top VIP clients.

So you're suggesting that I create a higher VIP membership...

to teach him a lesson?

It's funny.

I love it.

Is this your way of getting back at Mr. Park?

In this position, you have ears all over the place.

You want me to fight against Mr. Park for you?

You'll find me useful, ma'am.

Then you'll need a task force.

It's about the VIP Management Team.

They need a new director,

so promote Ms. Na.

The Black Society...

The Black Society.

Out of our VIP clients,

we'll select a handful of 99 members...

and give them our highest membership class yet.

We will not stop at helping them make purchases...

but create a platform which involves personal interaction.

It's a social club for the VVIP.

All we need are customers who are big spenders.

Why bother...

with social status and fame?

If we differentiate our VIP clients...

with other standards apart from money,

we'll receive backlash from the existing VIP members.

Not being able to join after spending money...

may lead to our top clients leaving us.

It could also lead...

to VIP members of other department stores joining us.

The fact that money can't buy you this membership...

is the key.

Exclusivity.

We're telling them...

that they are even more special.

We can't provide them with mediocre benefits.

Exactly.

That is why I suggest a new task force...

that'll design a guideline for who gets selected...

and what services we'll offer.

The task force will consist of the VIP Management Team...

who has managed our VIP clients...

and the Prestige Team...

that's been newly added to the Marketing Team.

Why the sudden need for a task force?

Isn't this just a battlefield for two teams to butt heads?

Starting today, we are part of a new task force.

I expect great work from all of you.

(VIP)

Ms. Na, I'll have your back.

I've had enough of Ms. Na's antics.

What kind of person do you wish to marry?

Someone warm and sweet.

It didn't take long to look like one of them.

You have no idea what you have lost.

Could Sang Woo be interested in Ms. Na?

Mr. Park and Yu Ri will both go down.

I want them to suffer the utmost pain.

I could end up attacking you too.

You already are.

And I'll gladly come at you.
