Original subtitles

I was the first person to arrive at work.

If felt great to be the only one here.

It was because I felt like I was the one opening business for the day.

When I was a kid, a stationery shop owner would always

open his shop and clean the front.

-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

-Are you going to school? -I loved how the clean alley felt,

and I started the day by going past it.

It felt great to think that I was the one opening business for the day like him.

I checked various notice boards on our internal server.

I also read news articles on various topics on the intranet.

There was an appropriate amount of tension and ease of mind.

-It was just like a stylish drama scene... -Oh, they're wrong?

-I'm sorry, we sent the wrong data. -until my boss showed up.

I have a file in Excel. I'll send it right away.

Goodbye.

Yes, Mr. Song.

I'm working on the report now.

Yes, I'll call you back.

-Sir, is there anything I can do? -Just wait for a while.

This is really urgent.

Hurray!

Yes!

Hold on. Let go.

You did great, sir.

Just a moment. I'll put him on.

Great work.

It's all thanks to you!

If you come to Korea, dinner will be on me.

Yes. See you soon. Bye.

So you finally closed the Uzbekistan deal?

Yes! You bet!

These are the moments I live for!

Congratulations!

You said that tie was a present from your kids, and it's working magic.

You owe it all to that tie.

Hey, everyone.

Let's have a cup of coffee.

My treat.

Let's go, Geu-rae.

Darn it.

-Good morning, sir. -Oh, hi.

I knew his "treat" was really just this.

Cool it. That's why I'm preparing it myself.

Don't you know? This is the golden ratio for coffee.

-Thank you. -Okay.

We just need to resolve the Willmart project.

Yes sir.

Here. It's hot. Be careful.

Go ahead. Drink up.

Why can't they sign the deal even though we passed the cycle test?

Aren't the data guaranteed after doing the test run 150,000 times?

That's an issue too,

but the bigger issue seems to be the cost.

Did you show them the appropriate price?

If you'll consider production costs and general expenses, that's reasonable!

Yes, I know,

-but they think it's unreasonable. -Hey!

Didn't I tell you to fix that attitude?

We can't sell anything like that.

What will we live on if we satisfy all their needs?

Your attitude is a big problem.

You're on our side, aren't you?

Why are you always looking out for their needs?

Remember,

I'll be keeping an eye on the Canton project too.

Jeez. Why come down and ruin the mood here?

That's Mr. Park from the IT sales team. He's a fine man.

Of course.

He's a great employee who cooperates well with clients.

You two go for client visit OJTs with that team, don't you?

-Oh, yes. -Mr. Lee, who just left, leads the team.

EPISODE 6

What? Rubber trees?

This is about Siberia's forests!

Can rubber trees grow in freezing Russia?

You just copied and pasted from the Indonesian document, didn't you?

Mr. Ha produced the original document.

I just prepared an MOU with it.

I got it mixed up with the Indonesian one.

-I'm sorry. I'll redo it. -How?

How will you redo it?

The legal team has already completed its review.

How will you redo it?

Will you go to sales team three

and ask them to have the legal team review it again?

Tell me.

Aren't you going to respond?

The B/L project.

I heard you told them about it.

If you did, you should have stayed quiet as an apology.

But...

"I told them"?

Are you kidding me?

You think that will change anything?

That's why I don't trust women!

You don't even need to be here. Go back to your cubicle.

Get out of here now!

Hey!

Aren't you going to take this?

You have to correct your mistakes!

Good morning, Mr. Oh.

Young-yi is in deep trouble for leaking the B/L project.

She's an impressive lady. I don't know if she's loyal or not.

But anyway, she's a tough one like me.

I'm busy right now.

Man, I can't believe this...

Good morning, my senior!

What's with that crap?

You studied in Ulsan, and I studied in Jeonju.

We have nothing to do with each other.

We had different academy directors.

Do we really have to do this? Why do we always have to suffer?

Are you talking about the Willmart Thai-ramen project?

Didn't they say if sales team three resolves the issue,

sales team one and two's business in Thailand would go smoothly?

I mean, the ramen project doesn't even help sales team three's performance.

Sales team three suffers,

but sales teams one and two get all the credit.

Yet your team has to pull it off. It's discouraging, isn't it?

-Yes. -And there's no word from Willmart.

Is there anything you don't know?

-No, there isn't. -Hey, Seok-yul.

-Get going. -Okay.

All right, see you later. Geu-rae.

Hey! The reply just came!

-Willmart replied? -Yes.

Mr. Oh, news has arrived.

They want to have a meeting.

They were so fussy, but I guess the deal seemed appealing.

This type of guy is a pain to deal with even after meeting him.

HYUNG-CHUL BYUN

What?

Goodness! Isn't this the good-for-nothing Byun?

-You know him? -Sure I do!

He was my classmate in high school. I'm impressed!

He failed the college entrance exam three times,

went to the army and then studied abroad.

Wow, things worked out for him.

-Were you two close? -Yes, we were close!

We were super close buddies!

We used to steal our dads' cigarettes and smoke them together.

It's a done deal, isn't it?

-Great. -Really?

Holy crap.

-You're here again? -Yes, sir.

-Hey, Ms. An. -Hello, sir.

-Hello. -Samples?

It won't be easy to move them alone.

Mr. Ha is running a bit late.

-He'll be down soon. -Okay, carry on.

-Let's go. -What?

Go ahead.

Are you really okay?

Yes, I think I can manage.

No, not this...

Go ahead. I'm fine.

Shouldn't we help her?

We're running late too.

She ended up like that because she helped us.

She said Mr. Ha would be coming down soon.

There he is.

If he sees us helping her, he definitely won't like it.

You're here, sir.

Why didn't you ask them for help?

They really owe you big time.

What? Did they ignore you?

Why should I ask them for help with you here?

-I'm on the resource team. -Then why did you do that?

What's going on in that head of yours?

Do you know what our boss said?

He said that if his wife cheated on him, this is how he'd feel.

-Sir! -How dare you yell at me?

Just get to work!

What was that?

It's nothing.

Man, you're hopeless.

-Go to the clinic. -No, I'm fine.

I said, go!

I'm sorry.

Did she do that on purpose?

Why is she taking that with her?

Why did I bring this?

I must be an idiot.

What's wrong with your foot?

It's nothing.

Baek-ki, give me the boards back.

-Give them back. -I told you it would be tough.

Give them back.

Weren't you going to the clinic?

I can go by myself.

Please leave those samples on my desk.

CLINIC

This dude follows Korean time.

He hasn't changed a bit.

-Korean time? -Don't they use that phrase these days?

This dude, he's always at least 30 minutes late.

Hey, dude! Sang-sik!

-Hey, dude! -Hey, Hyung-chul!

You haven't changed a bit.

It's been ages.

I can't believe we're meeting like this again.

I recognized you right away when I saw your picture!

What did I say?

You looked old for your age back then, but now you look just great!

Look at him.

He looks exactly like he did in high school.

-Nice to meet you, sir. -Our newbie.

Nice to meet you.

Sang-sik, would you mind waiting a bit more?

-I have a lot of papers to sign. -Sure.

-I'm sorry. -It's okay.

-Hey, dude. -Take your time.

This is great!

This is just great.

It's good to see him again.

It seems like that dude

took a time machine to the present day.

I feel great!

-I have a feeling it's a done deal. -You know, one time...

he fought the class bully and was about to hit him with a chair.

And I blocked it with my arm!

What?

I don't know why I did that then.

Back then, we only had to say "we're friends" to make up,

and everything seemed to work out.

Good times.

Friends?

Crazy bastard.

Why would I be his friend?

Should I call him?

It's been over an hour.

No, it's okay.

He must have a lot of papers to sign.

I'll call him.

Oh, you're back?

Hey.

You're very busy now, right?

I didn't wait that long.

Very busy, right? Shall we start?

I reviewed the data you sent.

It's so lacking.

The facilities

-and profit rates are ambiguous. -Hey, so I made these revisions

for your review.

Facilities, types of ramen and the profit sharing ratio.

And this is...

-I don't have time to read this now. -No, I'll explain them to you now.

It won't take long.

-Hey, Sang-sik. -Yes?

-Hey, Sang-sik Oh. -Yes?

You think it's going to be that easy?

Mr. Sang-sik Oh.

I'll review and check the feasibility of the deal

and call you back.

Okay.

Do as you wish, sir.

Mr. Byun, you have an executive meeting to attend.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Mr. Byun, you're not wearing your tie today.

The executives will disapprove of it.

Here.

Please wear this tie, sir.

You told me your children saved money to buy it as a birthday present.

How could you give it to him?

Hey, I can use it as an excuse to come back.

Welcome back, sir. Hello to you too, Geu-rae.

I'm working on the first order sheet.

Shall I put in just 100,000?

Our senior manager kept on asking.

I think he told sales teams one and two that this was a done deal.

-He said that, didn't he? -Yes.

What?

You went to get a deal approved.

Then why did you say that it was a done deal?

I told you this was important. You're aware of this, right?

You said he was your friend.

Why couldn't you pull it off?

Hey, Sang-sik.

You think it's going to be that easy?

Mr. Sang-sik Oh.

I'll review and check the feasibility of the deal

and call you back.

GOOD-FOR-NOTHING BYUN

Hello, Mr. Byun.

Did you have a safe trip back?

Sorry for what happened.

I had so much work, and I was in a hurry.

No, it's okay.

Hey, buddy, since it's been a while,

shouldn't we go out for drinks?

-Yes, sure. -I'm free this evening.

Of course, that's great.

Yes, sure.

Why don't I decide where to meet tonight?

Okay great.

-And bring that newbie with you. -What?

Geu-rae?

Well, okay.

See you later.

That guy!

I knew it.

Dude!

Now that's more like it!

-Really? -Yes.

Then I better make reservations. Which restaurant?

-You know the Famous Pigs' Feet place? -Yes.

Get seats there. This dude loved pigs' feet.

They're so popular that I'm not sure if they'll have seats available.

-Geu-rae, find it and make reservations. -Sure.

He wants Geu-rae to come too. So we can expect it's a done deal, right?

-Then I'll have the contract ready. -Okay.

FAMOUS PIGS' FEET

This is a really famous pigs' feet restaurant.

They don't accept reservations, but we begged.

-Let's go inside. -Are you kidding me?

You don't eat pigs' feet anymore?

Sure, I do. I like them.

But I don't want to eat them now.

Okay, got it.

It's a bit crowded here, isn't it?

Let's go somewhere else. Where?

Where should we go?

Good evening, gentlemen.

Hello. Please come in.

Hey, come on in.

Give them some slippers to put on.

Put them on.

Introduce yourselves.

This is Yun-soo. She owns this place.

How do you do?

Can you please excuse us as we need to have a conversation?

Sure, no problem.

It's okay.

She can stay.

Should I bring your bottle-kept alcohol?

No, just keep it.

Let's open a new bottle today. How's that?

Sure.

Go and bring that.

This is inappropriate...

What? Are you uncomfortable?

This place doesn't suit you?

No.

This place looks great.

Mr. Jang, where did you graduate from?

-Right, I... -He didn't go to college.

What?

You guys don't care about educational backgrounds?

That's a great company!

Yes, we're a great company.

We recognized his talents.

Kind considerations, please.

Here, let's have a toast. Fill up your glass too.

Fill it up.

Nice to meet you all! Let's have a toast.

Nice to meet you all.

Hey, is your liver okay?

I can drink alcohol when I want, but you have to drink when others want to.

Dude, how could it be okay?

-My gallbladder's messed up too. -Goodness.

I thought you would be successful because you were an honor student.

Look at yourself now at a trading company.

Working there must be disheartening.

But we stockbrokers are a proud bunch.

Do you know which jobs are most kiss-ass?

Stockbrokers and trade firm employees.

They both have to suck up to others.

Hey, sometimes we're in a powerful position.

-Very seldom, if ever. -No, sometimes.

-Hey, you know turtles? -What about them?

-Do you know how they roll? -What?

How?

-I'll pour you a drink this time. -Yes, okay.

You're handsome.

Does your company hire according to good looks?

Then how did this guy make it in?

Come on. That's mean.

-Look at him. Man, he's ugly. -Come on. I used to be...

Don't forget about our deal. I'll be waiting for your call.

Don't worry, buddy. You can trust me.

Hey, mister, here's the cab fare.

Please drive him home safely.

-Hey, here you go, Sang-sik. -Okay.

Okay.

Goodbye, dude.

Should I get a cab for you, Mr. Oh?

Okay.

Mr. Oh, the cab is here.

Jeez, that was stressful.

WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN?

I THINK IT WILL WORK OUT.

LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY CALL.

Wait! The hangover tonic will be here soon.

Yes.

So...

how much do you need?

Does he want to do it, or do you want him to do it?

It seems he just wants to copy his friends.

Three times a week for 150,000 won is...

That's 600,000 won per month.

I know it won't go to waste, but...

Sir.

Contacting the pipe exporting firms for the EPC project...

May I try it?

I told you there is nothing you can do here.

I still want to try it first.

How?

-I found a few firms... -I don't need your help.

-Hey, Mr. Kang. -Hi, Mr. Park.

The electric wheelchair project.

Why did you discontinue the proceedings?

No, I said I would review it

if you could calculate the profits accurately.

This company won't work.

The company is very small,

but R&D is under way,

-so if we could cooperate with them... -We can't connect them

to our buyer portfolio without knowing the profit-to-investment ratio.

I've told you this many times.

Still, you know...

I'll call the company again.

Okay.

I'll go return some books.

Return mine too.

Mr. Park, how's the Canton project going?

What is Youngsung Company saying?

Don't you know our buyer is anxious?

Yes, I'll call them again.

You only keep calling but produce zero results!

I'm sorry.

Don't be on the phone all day. Get your ass over there!

Resolve the issue at once!

Yes, sir. I will.

I'm sorry, Mr. Park!

I was just about to call you.

You didn't have to come here.

Sun-young, bring us some coffee.

I'm sorry, Mr. Choi,

but when will the delayed items issue be resolved?

We're in the process of securing the goods, so wait two or three days.

You said that last time, and if this is what I report back again,

it would put me in a difficult position.

-I'm sure you have your reasons, but... -I'm sorry.

Actually, my daughter was involved in a car accident.

What?

Was she hurt badly?

No, not really.

Well, yes, but she'll be fine.

Anyway, I'll do my best to resolve the issue.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure the issue will be resolved soon and you didn't do it on purpose.

Anyway, I'm sorry about your daughter.

You must be very worried.

Yes.

Yes, Mr. Lee. I just met him.

It seems he hadn't checked the items for Canton.

They're currently in the process of securing the goods.

So?

I asked them to expedite the procurement process.

-And... -What the hell is wrong with you?

You should have brought up freight compensation

so that they would truly understand the consequences of this issue!

Don't come back until you have resolved this!

Yes, sir.

-How did it go? -I heard it went smoothly.

Then why is there no call?

Don't worry. They're friends.

He said he would fully support us.

But don't you think this is too much?

You set us up as scapegoats,

so stop bugging us.

Geu-rae Jang, One International, speaking.

Willmart purchasing team?

Hold on, please. I'll transfer you to Mr. Oh.

Yes, Sang-sik Oh speaking.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay, I understand.

That bastard!

Friend?

You said he was your friend?

Why did you even bring that up?

We would have planned a different strategy if it weren't for you.

You totally ruined it for us!

What are you going to do now?

You said we could trust you!

What are you going to do now?

You told us to trust you.

You said because he's your friend, this was a done deal.

What the heck is this now? Say something, Mr. Oh.

What's the reason?

You don't like the delivery conditions?

No, those conditions were great.

But our company never had any intention of selling those goods.

We think it lacks marketability.

Then why did you show interest if that was the case?

Well, you used to show interest in my food and take them back in school.

What?

I'm just kidding.

Hey, do you have a problem with me?

No. Come on, we're not kids anymore.

But, I used to, a long time ago.

So...

What pissed you off back then?

We're not kids anymore.

I'm not going into that.

I'll just say it clearly now so you understand.

You might not know, but I used to suck up to you.

What?

So I just wanted you to be at the other end of the stick for once.

What?

See you at the class reunion party.

Goodbye, buddy!

Darn it!

He must be so disappointed.

Do you know which part of sales is the most difficult?

Which part is that?

Having to entertain someone you know personally.

But what's tougher is having to entertain a friend.

The act of entertaining...

It requires a vertical dynamic where the entertainer is the "servant."

It's more embarrassing because it's your friend.

Then it makes you wonder if it's all worth it...

if it's worth staying here.

Honey.

You know it too, right?

Back in college.

My friend Sung-sik.

He quit his job and went back to graduate school.

He now works for a good company.

Maybe I should...

at this point in my life...

What?

What?

You already registered for that?

Goodness.

I wanted to discuss it with you first.

Me?

Right.

I'll be home after a few drinks with Sung-sik.

Yes.

Okay.

Hey, Sung-sik.

Hello.

Do you like working at your current company?

But, if I may ask...

when you were preparing for graduate school,

how did you get your family's approval?

Providing for your needs must have been really tough.

If you want to do something, just think of yourself.

There is no choice that will satisfy everyone.

Just take responsibility for your actions.

I'm a happy man.

I'm happy...

but I don't want to go home.

It's stressful...

at home.

Yes, sir, I got it.

Call me when you resolve it.

Yong-gu.

Yes, Mr. Lee.

We're in charge of the OJT newbie training today.

It's a subcontractor trip. Please take charge on my behalf.

What, me?

The supervisor is now Mr. Park?

Okay. I got it, sir.

Hey!

We can't sell anything like that.

Geu-rae, go to the roof deck...

and pick up the pieces of paper.

Letter of Resignation

SIGNED BY YONG-GU PARK.

If you want to do something, just think of yourself.

Good morning, sir.

Yes, hello.

You're Mr. Park from the IT sales team, right?

Yes, I am.

My name is Geu-rae Jang. I'm a newbie from sales team three.

I'll be going on the subcontractor trip under your supervision.

I see.

But, gosh.

Unlike other supervisors,

I won't be of much help.

My boss, Mr. Oh...

He said I could learn a lot from you.

He said you had a great ability to work and cooperate with clients.

What? Me?

What else...

did he say?

What?

Well...

You're very considerate to the suppliers.

In short,

You portray yourself as an "iron hand in a velvet glove" employee.

He said you were an indispensable sales team employee.

Really?

He said that?

Then,

shall I tell you about the "art of sales" on the way to our trip?

-What? -There are many fun stories.

I said I would drive.

It's okay.

I should drive because I know the way.

Where was I?

Sales is like a war.

A battle.

You need guts.

You need to have a winning mindset.

You have to take it like that.

I have had both painful and victorious experiences.

Lots of them, for sure.

Once...

The client couldn't meet the delivery deadline,

and all upper management came

and pleaded for mercy.

If only you overlook it once, everything will be fine.

So please cut us some slack.

-So? -I stood firm and said,

Let's do it by the book.

You're a true and precise businessman.

What?

Yes.

Was that too big of a lie?

But I feel great inside.

This is one of our team's clients.

They're working with a Chinese

semiconductor firm through us.

But they've been having freight delivery issues recently.

What's the issue?

Delivery keeps getting delayed.

They say they're having difficulty with the procurement of goods.

Is it possible that they've secured another client?

In these cases,

they usually take existing clients for granted.

No, not this firm.

We have built a lot of trust between us.

However, we still need to visit once in a while

to maintain some tension for continued efficient production.

We're very busy now, so let's leave One International out for now.

They're a new client, so we must keep them happy.

First, transfer all freights to them.

Then, hold off One International by phone as long as possible.

Mr. Park?

The man is soft, so he won't be difficult to handle.

So I'll send it as soon as possible.

Man, this is awesome.

Mr. Park.

So they think we're a pushover.

Mr. Park, we'll head back to the office.

What? Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Geu-rae.

Have a safe trip back.

I wish to stay a little longer.

Geu-rae, I'd like to have a word with you.

What?

Geu-rae, given the current situation, it's best for us to leave.

But, Mr. Park seems perplexed.

And training isn't over yet.

There is nothing we can do to help him here.

And given the situation, the site trip is now meaningless.

Do whatever you want. I'll be on my way.

Mr. Park, I'll be returning to the office now.

Yes. They think we're a pushover.

All because of me.

As I have suspected,

I wasn't cut out for this work to begin with.

Hey, Mr. Park. How did the discussion go?

It's best that I resign.

Why didn't you call me in advance?

-Where did the other man go? -He had to return to the office.

Okay.

-Let's go in. -Wait.

When will you resolve our issue?

Right away, of course!

Didn't I talk to you on the phone earlier?

I'm an idiot!

Yes we did, didn't we?

We did.

Hey, I'm sorry.

I was going to resolve it first,

but because of our new clients,

our freight load has reached maximum capacity.

I should leave.

You're very considerate to the suppliers.

I said firmly.

Let's do it by the book.

Show him what you got.

Show him.

Show him what you're made of.

But it was all a lie.

There is no choice that satisfies all. Just take responsibility for it.

Did I just want to be the nice guy who appeases everyone?

Did I ever take on responsibility

while working for my company?

-Mr. Choi. -Mr. Park.

We made a mistake.

We'll take care of it immediately. Okay?

Would you mind...

if we proceeded by the book?

If I don't do this now,

it will be the same wherever I go.

I'm ashamed of ourselves, Mr. Park.

I'm really sorry.

I'll resolve it today and make sure it leaves Incheon tomorrow.

I told you we'll be doing it by the book.

Mr. Park, it's my fault.

It's all my fault.

But we have worked with One International for years.

Mr. Park.

Your boss and I go way back.

We have a long-standing business relationship.

Wouldn't it be a waste for that trust to be broken?

Let's keep things positive.

Let's work things out smoothly.

So, this is how they treat me.

I was such a pushover to them.

Do you have anything more to say

to embarrass me further?

How low do you intend to drag me down?

Mr. Park, please accept my sincere apologies.

Despite our long relationship, we clearly made a mistake.

You said we'll do it by the book.

Does that mean

contract termination or loss compensation?

I will

discuss it back at headquarters

and then let you know.

You bunch of idiots!

Turning our old partner into enemies.

Just to earn a few extra bucks? How are we going to resolve this?

Because of me,

a ten-year partnership is going down the drain.

-That's ten years! -If only I had overlooked the issue.

We're about to lose a precious, loyal client

because of your follies!

-I thought you were a man of integrity. -Excuse me,

-Sir. -I've never been this embarrassed

in my life!

A risky move you take when things don't look good.

Are you guys crazy about money?

The move you make to turn the tables.

You only love money?

In the game of go,

it's called a "clever move" or a "clever trick."

Ask for his forgiveness.

If the clever move is seen as brilliant in the game of go,

it just proves that you were at a disadvantage all along.

-I apologize, sir. -Please calm down.

Mr. Park didn't think things would escalate to this level.

The reason they're shocked and persistently trying to persuade him...

is because Mr. Park was never like this before.

It's like looking one way and rowing another,

He's looking at them, but criticizing Mr. Park...

I don't think I have a choice.

-I'll go and beg for pardon. -Please, sir. Calm down.

Mr. Kim, please give me a call.

-Please, sir. Calm down. -Let me go!

-We'll take care of it now. -I said, let go!

Please, sir.

Please excuse me. I need to take a call from headquarters.

-Okay. -Let go.

Gosh, we're running really late.

What if you get into trouble?

What trouble? I'm here on business.

Furthermore, I'm with you, Mr. Park.

Yes, Mr. Kim. We're still here.

Yes, sir.

Hello?

You can't hear me clearly?

When will we be returning?

I think it will take a while. There's a bit of a problem here.

Their president said he would visit us and explain the issue himself.

In order to counter

-a clever move or trick, -Yes, he directly said so himself.

you need to take a "direct proper move".

Yes, I'll report it to you once we get things settled here.

Okay.

-There's an issue with Youngsung? -Yes, I got a call from Mr. Park.

Their president and executives are on their way here.

I checked our records.

It seems there were several delivery problems.

What the heck is this? It's more than just a few.

Call the risk management team, the evaluation team and the legal team.

I'll report this to the executives.

-Mr. Han, come here. -Okay.

Organize these please.

Did you call the forwarding agency?

This is the IT sales team speaking.

Can we get files for our Canton...

Please get the contract ready for us.

Don't forget the data on shipment dates and schedule.

There's been a problem with Youngsung.

Check the credit limit given to them now.

Aren't they a reliable company with good credit scores?

Can you prepare a brief report on what happened?

Hello, sir.

I'll be damned.

Hello, Mr. Park and Geu-rae.

What's going on?

Which floor?

Hello, Mr. President.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

I offer my sincere apologies.

Please wait in the guest room.

Show them the way.

Mr. Park, you should come with me.

Who are you?

I'm Geu-rae Jang from sales team three.

Mr. Kim.

May Mr. Jang come with us?

How can I Mr. Park?

It will be a good learning experience as a newcomer.

And we need him as he played

an important role in this issue.

Hey, Baek-ki.

Youngsung is here right now.

Our risk management, legal and all teams are here too.

That's a surprise.

-I didn't think Mr. Park had it in him. -But the more surprising thing is

that Geu-rae is going to that meeting.

-What? -Young-yi.

Great to run into you. The big event of the day.

Geu-rae is participating in a critical client incident meeting.

How could a newbie get in there? Will he get promoted before any of us?

You know that.

High school graduate legend!

I don't know how he's going to be of any help in there.

They must have taken him in since he had something to offer.

No, Baek-ki is being patient.

Experiencing such meetings is very helpful for newbies like us.

Baek-ki,

why did you come back?

-I didn't think I should be there. -Honestly.

You don't like Mr. Park, do you?

Well, yes.

Yes, he's indecisive,

soft and weak-minded.

Clients don't prioritize him either.

Still, Geu-rae stayed until the very end.

Maybe he's the nosy type of guy.

Anyway, Youngsung is in big trouble now.

It's over for them.

Well, I'm not so sure.

It all depends on Mr. Park's testimony.

But I think they will probably just let it go.

Because people like Mr. Park just want to avoid complications.

He doesn't have...

what it takes to solve problems.

Were there similar cases like this before?

Yes, there were.

They weren't situations to secure products from other locations.

Also, there were no penalties, so the financial loss is minimal.

The items don't require prompt delivery, so the risks are low too.

Regardless of compensation, a review of the contract is inevitable,

as there have been seven delays.

However, it's not worth taking to trial.

Why did this happen?

Mr. Park will explain the details, since he's the one in charge.

I will explain...

how this happened.

Mr. Park, who is overwhelmed by the gravity of the issue,

is concerned about the other company's crisis.

That's foolish, isn't it?

Mr. Park, for your reference.

Thank you.

I'll explain what happened.

When in a crisis,

skip all unnecessary parts and go straight to the point.

Be irresponsible!

Remove all unnecessary thoughts.

You have to get rid of them.

You can't take care of everyone.

It's you who needs to survive.

I'll report...

everything that happened.

I'm sorry, sir. We're to blame.

No, it's not your fault but mine.

-There have been... -I'm so sorry.

seven freight delays.

And I found out the cause today.

Youngsung was focused on building a new clientele list

and intended to appease the new clients.

As such, our shipments were delayed in the process.

I found out about this today and asked them

to take responsibility.

If you hadn't been there, we would all still be in the dark.

Absolutely.

You should always keep a watchful eye on them.

However,

I have identified some issues about this project.

While those seven delays occurred,

I didn't take direct action even though I was the one in charge.

I also didn't realize

how serious the issues were in the early stages.

And I was...

never confident with tasks put in front of me.

I am the one...

at fault here.

I was the one...

who allowed them...

to take advantage of me.

I neglected my responsibilities.

I am the one to blame...

for this issue.

When the industry increased freight costs due to the rise in oil prices,

our company tried to reduce costs.

I couldn't persuade them as my company's representative.

As a result,

they searched for new profit schemes.

All I thought about was quitting...

because of these frustrations at work.

Therefore, due to my shortcomings,

these issues manifested.

I will take full responsibility.

And please...

pardon those people.

Please continue doing business with them.

Please don't...

Please don't penalize them.

When did you start working here?

Excuse me?

He's been here for four years.

You're such a peculiar employee.

Hold on.

Do you think we'll abandon a ten-year partnership over this?

What are you going to do?

How do you intend to take responsibility?

How will you?

Still, it's good to resolve those worries now.

The longer you delay, the worse it will be for you, your family,

and in the long run, the company.

Those types of worries are a good thing, so keep worrying.

Just settle your worries well.

It was more miserable than any game of go I've ever played.

Everyone has their own game.

How did I...

dare...

to give contemptible advice?

Baek-ki Jang.

-Yes. -They say everything has worked out.

-What? -You know Mr. Park from IT sales team.

Youngsung is still a client, and Mr. Park wasn't reprimanded much.

They say the meeting went really smoothly.

I don't know how, but I heard Mr. Park was great in there.

Why are you telling me this?

You're curious about it, aren't you?

-I thought you were really curious. -Hey, Seok-yul.

Yes, sir?

That case?

-Let's hang up. I have work to do. -Wait.

Darn it.

Why are you so down when Mr. Park's project went well?

I heard you went to the meeting too.

Did something go wrong?

I wasn't of any help.

You're so ignorant.

You realized that only now?

There is nothing we can do yet.

Geu-rae!

Thank you, Geu-rae.

You helped me get out of my miserable shell.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

-I hope this goes well. -Youngsung promised

to sign a new contract that was beneficial to our company.

As for Mr. Park,

he was tasked with finding operation issues

and writing a report on possible preventive measures.

I thought Mr. Park would be reprimanded for this ordeal.

That's how it works here.

Our line of work has so many risks to consider.

No matter how much we prepare, accidents happen.

So you can't ask employees to take responsibility for every issue.

So the company focuses on finding solutions for these issues.

-But when you were punished last time... -That's why that was nonsense.

Even if the company protects its employees,

that particular employee suffers.

If you don't write a thorough, unbiased report,

they can ask you to take responsibility if something similar happens again.

Sir.

Shall I draw up the Willmart process report?

It's okay. I'll write it.

Okay.

I sent you an e-mail. I'm at a loss for words.

Next.

What's a "trader"?

The "trader"

is the ultra super duper best hero

in the world.

He travels around the world

to buy and sell products for everyone in the world.

-It's him. -He can make poor countries rich

and supply water to those countries without it.

He can sell

Superman, Ironman

Batman and Spiderman.

-That's a lie! -It's not a lie!

No, it is a lie!

Hey, Ironman! I'm going to tell my Dad to sell you!

No, stop it...

Your son is one of a kind!

He should be a second-generation "trader".

He's the same. Do it!

Do it now! You!

He's totally like you!

Yes.

This is why I continue working here.

He's exactly like his father.

-Right. -He's just like you.

Everyone has their own game of go.
