(Episode 22)

Let's take a look at your resume first.

What are you waiting for?

Well...

I'm sorry. I didn't prepare one.

Mr. Kang,
what's so important about resumes?

I can vouch for her.

She was my secretary, so I know her well.

Don't worry.

Even if you recommend her,

an objective verification and procedure
are necessary.

If you have experience job hunting,

don't you know that a resume
is a basic necessity?

Did you think it was needless
because of the chairman's support?

No, I simply didn't think that far.

I'll write you one right now
if you have some paper.

Let me ask you this before you do that.

How many lines of experience
can you write down?

I joined SA Group eight years ago.

And?

And I got married a year after that.

So you only worked for a year?

I majored in design back in university...

and won the grand prize
in SA Group's design competition.

I worked in a design studio as well.

I strongly believe
I can be of help to you, Mr. Kang.

Isn't that 7 to 8 years ago?

I'm sure wasting that many years...

is considered more than a career break
in that industry.

I might be lacking when compared to those
currently working in the field.

But I kept studying design
during the years I wasn't working. And...

Let's set aside your experience.

Then do you know
who the CEO of Bareun Partners is?

Or what our management philosophy is?

What about our investment strategy,
and where our main investment is?

I didn't get around
to telling her those things yet.

She could've found all those out
if she tried hard enough.

I'm sorry. I'll try harder from now on.

No, you won't get that chance.

I can't accept your recommendation.

What?

See here, Mr. Kang.

I'm your biggest investor.

Aren't you being too harsh?

Didn't I make it clear to you?

I'm sorry, but it's still a no.

How frustrating.

I'm sorry. I should've prepared more.

Kang Dong Ha must think
he's all grown up now.

How dare he turn her down...

right in front of me and to my face?

- He turned her down?
- Yes.

Go back to his office
and have it out with him.

Me?

I gave you a chance,
so it's your duty to make use of it.

I only agreed to help,
not guide you through everything.

If you can't even persuade Mr. Kang,

just give up on SA Group.

You can never tear them down.

(Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)

(Resume)

It's my resume.

As you said, I don't have any experience
during the last 7 to 8 years.

But I'll work hard to be of help to you.

We're done talking.

I'll do whatever you ask, Mr. Kang.

Even if it's dirty work.
I'll die if you want me to...

and beg if that's what you want.

Please give me a chance.

What is your reason?

Why are you so adamant
about working at this company?

I heard you were investing in SA Group...

and participating in product development
as a condition.

So?

If I become your secretary,
I can get closer to SA Group.

I won't beat around the bush.

You already know everything.

Why my dad passed away.

And why I got kicked out
after the divorce.

I want to know exactly why my dad
got into that accident.

He wouldn't have gone to SA Group
for no reason.

In short,
you want to become my secretary...

not to work, but to take revenge?

How is that any of my business?

You've made things clearer now.

I'm trying to make a profit
by investing in SA Group.

But you and I have different goals.

I'll make sure not to cause you any harm.

How is that possible?

What you're trying to do
will strike a blow...

to SA Group one way or another.

Please help me.

I can't.

I beg you.

Help me just this once.

("Best Classical Collection 2")

I'm home.

Mom?

("Best Classical Collection 2")

You told me not to use Soo Yeon
as my secretary and to fire her.

So I did.

But it was a waste
to let go of her like that.

And she has financial difficulties.
I felt bad for her.

That's why I asked you to hire her.

That's all.

It's not like I let anyone work for me.

I've thought things through. She's useful.

That's why I'm keeping her by my side.

Don't just flat out refuse her
and let her work.

She's smart.

What if she's not?

Fire her.

Fire her if she's not cut out for it.

What if our plan doesn't work out
because of Ms. Yoo?

Dong Ha, don't think too hard about it.

Soo Yeon is like the joker
in a game of poker.

She's a card we can throw away
anytime she becomes useless.

SA Group and Cha Hwa Yeong.

We're risking our lives
only for these two.

Dong Ha, don't judge her
as an incompetent worker...

just because she has a career break.

Soo Yeon will do an amazing job.

She'll catch on the moment you teach her.

I assure you.

It's not because she's incompetent.

It's not?

The open apology video
by Soo Yeon's mom is because of me.

After Ms. Yoo got arrested,

I saw her mom get kicked out
of SA Group...

after asking for mercy.

So I said a few words.

And that's what led to
the open apology video.

How is that your fault?

You were only trying to help.

It's SA Group that's rotten
for making ill use of that.

Something like that can happen again
if we work together.

That's...

something Soo Yeon has to bear.

I get what you're worried about.

But if you stop her here,
Soo Yeon might live with greater pain.

I know from watching Mi Sook
from her side.

The longer it takes to take revenge,

the deeper the pain gets.

Isn't it fine
as long as your goal is the same?

Give it some thought, okay?

Mother.

I don't think she's going to be fine.

Auntie, did you make up your mind
about the tteokbokki place?

Yes. I looked into places
and found a franchise that I like.

Dig in, will you?

Okay.

Auntie, Soo Yeon, I have something to say.

I got a job.

My gosh, that's great news.

Didn't you have a hard time,
unable to settle on one job until now?

Congratulations, Young Ji.

Say that after you hear this.

I'm a housemaid, and the place...

is Soo Yeon's ex-in-laws house.

What?

What do you mean?

If it's her ex-in-laws house...

No way.

Yes, it's her husband...
No, Hong Jin Woo's house.

Maybe I did a good job.

They wanted to hire me.

I thought of turning it down at first,
but then I thought of Seo Jun.

Even if it's part-time,
I could drop by often to see Seo Jun...

and figure out if his stepmom
bullies him or not.

Isn't that a good thing?

What do you think?

The salary is good,
but I won't do it if you tell me not to.

I'm not sure...

if it's a good thing or not.

But...

I do like the fact
that you'll be able to see...

how Seo Jun's doing.

That's what I mean.

Don't worry about me and do as you like.

Then I'll do it. Okay? I'm doing it.

It's from the company.

Hello?

This is Kang Dong Ha.

Yes, Mr. Kang.

You can start working tomorrow.

Are you accepting me as your secretary?

Let me make this clear.

You're fired the moment you bring harm
to the company.

Of course.

- Then I'll see you tomorrow.
- Wait.

Mr. Kang?

What is it?

Thank you.

I'll work hard not to cause any trouble.

Got it. Bye.

Stay sharp, Yoo Soo Yeon.

This is just the beginning.

You're going to work
starting tomorrow, right?

Yes.

Take a longer break if you want to.

The team is busy preparing for the season,
so I feel bad staying home.

It's a shame I couldn't get closer
to Father during the break.

Time flies when I'm absorbed in my work.

Do understand.

Ms. Yu Ra, can you give me more ice cream?

Seo Jun.

She's your mom, not Ms. Yu Ra.

No, she's not my mommy. She's Ms. Yu Ra.

Seo Jun, Yu Ra is your mom.
So call her that.

- Seo Jun.
- No!

You're not my mommy.

My mommy's not here.

Mommy...

You're right, so don't cry.

No, he's not.

Give him time to adjust.

It'll backfire if you force it on him.

Yes, Seo Jun. I'm Ms. Yu Ra.

Stop crying and head upstairs.
It's bedtime.

You should start addressing yourself
as Mom first, Yu Ra.

Okay.

Let's go, Seo Jun.

You're still ignoring what people say.

You're the one who should stop.

"Give him time to adjust?"

Yoo Soo Yeon is the past
that this household has to erase.

We must help him forget about her
as soon as possible.

He's at an age where he learns fast.

Seo Jun's mom is Yu Ra, not Yoo Soo Yeon.

Does denying the fact make it the truth?

To even change who his mother is.

You should hold back, Mom.

I'm sure he's saying it for Seo Jun.

If it's really for Seo Jun,
he should do as I say.

He's impossible to read.

Seo Jun, do you miss your mom?

Hello, Soo Yeon?

Hold on a second.

Here, it's your mom.

Mommy?

Seo Jun, is that you?

Mommy.

I miss you, Mommy. Hurry back home.

Soo Yeon, Mother's back.

- I'm hanging up.
- Give me back the phone.

Mommy!

Give it to me.

Mommy.

Too bad. I hung up already.

Listen carefully, Seo Jun.

If you make me angry,

you won't get to talk to
or see your mom again. Understood?

No.

Bad kids get punished.

And because you're a bad kid,
you can't talk to your mom.

You're mean, Ms. Yu Ra.

I hate you!

Seo Jun, I get that you miss your mom,

but you shouldn't throw things.

Seo Jun, what do you think you're doing?

How dare you throw things at her?

No, you got the wrong idea.

Seo Jun. Pick it up yourself. Now.

I didn't do it.

It wasn't me.

It was Ms. Yu Ra.

Don't lie. I saw everything.

Are you trying to get in trouble?

You should stop.

Okay, Seo Jun. I did it. Don't cry.

It's okay.

Seo Jun!

Sit here and think about what you've done.

Jin Woo.

Stay out of this, honey.

I don't want to raise a misbehaved kid.

You can't move an inch
until you tell me what you did wrong.

What a stubborn little kid.

Are you crying?

I'm sorry.

What do you have to be sorry for?

I want to raise Seo Jun well,

but I'm not very good at it yet.

We used to be close,

but he's pushing me away lately.

It's not your fault.

He must need time to adjust.

He used to call you Ms. Yu Ra,
but now he has to call you Mom.

He must be confused.

Please understand.

I know that,

but it makes me sad.

I feel like I'm the evil stepmother.

Don't be sad.

It's not your fault.

Jin Woo.

You're so innocent.
What am I going to do with you?

Seo Jun. I miss you so much.

Wait just a little longer.

Mommy's coming to get you.

(Quarterly Report)

(Chief Director Kang Dong Ha)

This is information on SA Group.

Isn't it something you wanted to see?

Look it over thoroughly.

Sign this confidentiality agreement.

It's an agreement stating
that you will not tell anyone...

about what you see or hear in this house.

It also states that we'll sue you
for damages if you break this agreement,

so read it over thoroughly before signing.

Don't worry.
I know how to keep my lips sealed.

This is a manual.
Read it and memorize everything.

All of this?

Let's forget it, then.

Oh, wait. I'll memorize it.

I'll do whatever I need to memorize it,
even if I need to eat the paper to do so.

Now that you've decided to work here,

be sure never to question anything I say.

Yes, ma'am.

Yes?

- Right.
- You called for me?

Yes.

There's an important meeting
two hours from now.

You're coming with me,
so go get dressed up.

We're going to SA Group.

You have to be a weapon for me.

Go get dressed up
so that you look confident.

We don't want them to spot
a single weakness.

Oh, thanks.

What's wrong?

So...

I thought I saw Ms. Yoo in the lobby
on my way back from getting coffee.

Ms. Yoo?

President Hong's wife.

Not you, Ms. Seo. I meant his ex-wife.

- Hey...
- Oh, gosh.

Why did you pinch me?

It was probably someone else.

I must've mistaken someone else for her.

Get back to work.

Yes, ma'am.

Soo Yeon is here?

Shouldn't they be arriving soon?

Yes.

Apologies for being late.

There must've been bad traffic.

Yes, a little.

Why aren't you coming in?

Is someone here with you?

Hello. I'm Yoo Soo Yeon,
Chief Director Kang Dong Ha's secretary.

Do you know who your secretary is?

I heard she got divorced.

But I'm not interested
in her personal life.

Her past isn't important to me either.

We're complete opposites, I see.

I consider my employees' personal lives
and pasts to be important.

Chairman Cha.
You sound a bit older than you seem.

Let me ask one question
before we sign the contract.

Go ahead.

I'm aware that one of your conditions
is to have a say in product development.

Do you plan to include Ms. Yoo
in product development?

She will be assisting me.

I can't accept that.

I can't let someone
who brings down SA Group's public image...

work here.

Chairman Cha.
Didn't you hear my introduction?

I'm not an employee of SA Group...

I believe Ms. Yoo no longer has
anything to do with SA Group.

Is there a problem?

It's not a problem, but do you know
the reason for our divorce?

Forget it. Let's just talk business.

Yes, ma'am.

Exclude Ms. Yoo from this.

If you exclude her
from all work related to SA Group,

we'll sign.

That's my condition.

I thought we already finished negotiating
the conditions of our contract.

Am I wrong?

Negotiations aren't over until we sign.

Think it over.

I might take the contract off the table
if you leave without signing.

If you cancel this contract
just because of one employee,

you'll be losing out
on a good investment opportunity.

Let us know once you've made up your mind.

What have you been doing?

How did Soo Yeon
suddenly get involved in this?

Were you aware of this?

No. I only just found out today.

Are you really not going to sign?

I'll have to see her every day if I do.

I can't stand the thought of it.

And what will our employees say?

Is Bareun Partners
really a good investment company?

How can they hire
such a low-life like her?

She has no experience or anything.

Look into other investors.

Their investment conditions
are way better than other investors.

They're actively attracting
a lot of investees...

following the establishment
of their Korean branch.

A lot of companies are competing
to get their investment,

so they most likely won't compromise
even if we refuse to sign the contract.

I don't have plans to compromise either.

You know we're low on funds.

Hi, Mom. Oh, Jin Woo, you're here too.

Mom, did you sign with Dong Ha?

Is Dong Ha going to come here
every day now? Starting when?

You childish little brat...

I don't want to hear it. Get out.

Hey, why are you being so mean?

I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Do you understand
why I was opposed to hiring you now?

Thank you for confirming...

that there's more bad than good
in having you here.

How about you quit now?

You said so yourself.

The past isn't important.

I can accept it if you fire me
for not being capable enough,

but I can't
if it's just because of my past.

I can't back down.

Then should I give up
on the contract for you?

Is that what you want?

No, I don't want that.

Then what do you want?

Do you have another way?

Please give me some time.

I'll think of another way somehow.

Ms. Yoo. I'm an investor.

I don't invest in people or companies
that don't have value.

You'll have to take responsibility
for what you just said.

If you can't find another way,
you'll have to leave.

(Income Statement for the six-month period
from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2018)

I think 2018...

was the year Jin Woo became President.

I believe the new project
they launched around that time failed.

There's no need to worry.

Getting back up after failing is only hard
for people who don't have much.

For us, this isn't a failure. This is just
one of the steps towards success.

Consider it practice.

It'll be hard for me
to get promoted to president, right?

What's so hard about it? I'm here.

You'll get promoted.

Tomorrow, the newspapers will say
that SA Group's operating income...

has reached the highest yet
since its founding.

Then, it'll only be natural
for you to become president.

That's the opposite of the truth.
We can't lie.

I don't lie.

If you make a lie look like the truth,

it becomes the truth.

It's all for SA Group.

You won't be able
to control the employees...

as the chairman's son.

You'll need people
to acknowledge your abilities.

As I said,
this is one of the steps to success.

You just have to succeed next year.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mother. I'll succeed no matter what.

I brought you some tea.

I'm going to drink it outside.
Leave it in the living room.

Yes, ma'am.

He came home drunk the night before,

and he told me how stressed he was
because the project failed.

(Total Operating Income,
22,875,980.22 dollars)

These financial statements are fraudulent.

The originals must be hidden somewhere.

It must be in their safe.

Secretly?

What if I get caught?

Father is in his studio during that time.

Ms. Lee will leave to go pick up Seo Jun.
It won't take long.

But why?

There's something I need to verify.

I don't have anyone else to ask but you.

Please help me out.

Okay.

Don't tell Mom about this.

Of course. I'm not that senseless.

Come by the house around that time.
I'll call you.

Thanks.

Ms. No. Clean the kitchen
while I go pick up Seo Jun.

Yes, ma'am.

Drive safely.

Soo Yeon. She just left.

Nobody is home except for Mr. Hong.

Ring the bell in five minutes...
Actually, I'll come out.

Okay.

Soo Yeon.

Young Ji. Keep a look out for me.

Okay.

(Gold Mask)

Hi, Dong Ha.

Why? Are you waiting for someone?

- Is there nobody outside?
- Oh, my goodness!

Why are you sitting there, lady?

They'll come crawling back tomorrow.

There is definitely someone behind this.

I want you to look
at this situation objectively.

Are you hovering around Jin Woo
in any way you can,

waiting to reclaim your place?

- What is it?
- I came to negotiate.
