They voted against issuing municipal bonds
and now demand a supplementary budget!

The Progressive Party must repent!

-Repent!
-Repent!

-Repent!
-Repent!

The Progressive Party must change
how they apply trickery to do politics!

-Repent!
-Repent!

-Repent!
-Repent!

What are you saying?

Why did she come here?

-Return to your seats.
-Stop this!

Sirs. Can you--

-Sirs?
-Repent!

-Repent!
-Repent!

Will you stop this? Return to your seats!

Will you calm down?

-Calm down.
-Change your ways!

Do you not hear me?

-Repent!
-Calm down!

Leave me alone!

-Repent!
-Repent what?

-Repent!
-Repent!

Let go of me!

I know what this is.

Last April, at the National Assembly
fast track vote,

-the two major parties…
-Honey.

It's bad for her education.
Change the channel.

Don't say that. We should watch the news.

AT THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

He got hit on the head.

Calm down!

This…

You don't come here to fight!

-Stop it. Let go.
-Repent!

-Repent!
-That's enough!

-Repent!
-Repent for what?

What did we do wrong?

PLEDGE, SHIM JANG-YANG,
JANG HA-UN, AND SI DAN-GYU

This wasn't what you said!

-What's going on?
-What are you doing?

Let go of me.

Let go. Let me go! Let go!

Nonviolence!

Can't we keep things peaceful?

They voted against issuing municipal bonds
and now demand a supplementary budget!

The Progressive Party must repent!

-What--
-Repent!

-Repent!
-No!

We won't let this happen!

Let go of me! Don't touch me!

Did you just hit me?

How dare you?

Go on.

How dare you

call us to the roof
when we're your father's age?

-That's right.
-That's right.

Respect the elderly.

Elders first. Respect and honor.

This isn't what we agreed.

-The pledge--
-You tore it up, so back out.

-It's our party's consensus.
-What?

Consensus?

You saw him, Ms. Koo.

Assemblyman Choi
who came to our sports day.

He's the Aeguk Conservative
Party's leader

and represents Mawon-gu District A.

He said no!

What else could we do?

-Nothing.
-Nothing.

Exactly.

Is there anything down there?

-Ready?
-Yes.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Thank you for having me.

Don't you say that.

MAWON-GU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY DINNER
AFTER THE SPORTS FESTIVAL

You three are very busy, aren't you?

-Yes.
-Yes.

The three of us proposed
an ordinance bill regarding

the employment stability support fund

-for old security guards.
-Yes.

We're looking into revising
the supplementary budget.

I see. Employment is very important.

-Yes.
-Right.

Right.

The ordinance bill has a nice agenda,

but it overlaps a lot
with Assemblyman Park's pledge.

I can't let that happen!

Support the Progressive Party's
pledge in my district?

-No, that's not it.
-No.

-You misunderstood it.
-No.

-No, you got the wrong idea.
-You got it all wrong.

What about the support fund
and withdrawal of dismissal?

Let those unfriendly assemblymen
fight in the National Assembly.

-Why is he--
-This was very unfortunate.

But we need to rub elbows
with an assemblyman.

Right.

Once we make a good impression there,

we can have our job until the nomination.

-That's right.
-Yes.

Exactly.

Didn't I tell you that
you were being naive?

You thought those middle-aged men
were clumsy and stupid, right?

They are the most calculative men
when it comes to gains and losses.

No.

We shouldn't even blame Shim-Jang-Si.

It was you who ruined the whole thing.

I'm sorry.

You won't apologize to me?

THE TOGETHER PROGRESSIVE PARTY
MUST REPENT!

MEMO

This wasn't what you said!

-What's going on?
-Hey.

What are you doing?

Let go of me.

Let go. Let me go! Let go!

Nonviolence!

Can't we keep things peaceful?

KOO SE-RA

GONG-MYUNG

SECURITY OFFICE

The management office
already informed us earlier.

But thank you for your effort.

If you were going to help,
you should have done it right.

I know we're getting fired
because we're old, but--

Gosh, it's all right.

Because of your meddling,
you ended up getting him fired too.

Why did you make a promise
you couldn't even keep?

Calm down.

I'm sorry.

Gosh.

It's not much. Here you go.

Gosh.

Why do you always bring me gifts?

These aren't from me.
These are from my father.

Can you put them away?

Put them away.

Be careful with that.

It was a tough day.
Things were hectic today.

I only banged the gavel
in the chairman's seat.

Is it because it's temporary?

We have left the position vacant
for a long time.

Aren't you going to take
the position again?

My gosh.

It wouldn't look good.

Nor do I want the position.

My gosh.

We must fill the position
pretty soon, you know.

We're in a tight spot.

As I fulfilled my two-year term,

it's the Progressive Party's turn.

Gosh. That's a shame.

Right.

What?

"That's a shame." That's what he said.

If that's what he thinks,
he can support me.

Forget it, Dad.

I can get this position
without wasting money on him.

Okay. Let's talk in detail
when we meet next time.

I heard you used to serve
at Mawon-gu Office.

Yes.

Is it true?

You were with the former chief,
but you suddenly joined Representative Jo.

And you exposed
the former chief during the election.

Don't trust Representative Jo too much.

And don't expect any luck with him.
Do you think it'd work?

You're young,
so work harder to get the job.

You're frustrating. Bye.

Because of you,

ten people got fired, instead of nine.

Why own a phone
if you're not going to turn it on?

Mom, I have had the worst day.

Yes. This is your worst day.

Why?

I heard everything from your mom.

You didn't get paid.
You voluntarily gave back your salary?

I didn't do that. Representative Jo…

No, your friend took the microphone

and suggested that decision.

Shut it.

You probably agreed in the heat
of the moment like your mom.

Like me? What do you mean?

She doesn't know
when to butt out just like you.

It's no time to help
your friend right now.

Mom works as a cleaner
at a building in the morning.

What? A cleaner?

Yes.

Wait.

Then, where have you been
spending all of your paychecks?

Good for you.

What a great family I have here.
Unbelievable.

Dad works as a chauffeur at night.

-You--
-Honey.

Darn it.

And I am seriously
reconsidering my career.

Today was the first day
I regretted not listening to you, Dad.

Get out!

Get out of my house if you're going
to do whatever you want.

Come on!

She already left.

Gosh. He and his temper.

The phone is turned off.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Se-ra's phone is turned off.

Her phone was on until 2:32 p.m.

She left home around 8:00 p.m.

Is she cooped up at a charging station?

"A charging station"?

It's a place only Se-ra knows and likes.

But even we don't know where it is.
She said it was a secret.

She and her secret.

Why are you curious about her secret?

You're not that close with her.

Well, we're close.

Then why do you not know that?

Even her friends here
don't know where it is.

It's a place only Se-ra knows.

-And it's her favorite place.
-Good morning.

This is my favorite place
that only I know.

Is this some morning quiz?

Darn it.

You sent me this picture
of your favorite spot.

You found me here based on that?

Yes. It didn't take me long.

I mean, it took me
about two to three hours.

Here.

I went to Haengbok-dong and remembered

that you asked me to bring dumplings
during the campaign.

Consider it a gift for returning
to the District Assembly.

Goodness, what use is it if I return?

That place is filled with jerks
who'll betray me whenever possible.

There's no one on my side.

Darn it.

Why isn't there anyone?

No one's on my side either.

I have no one to rely on,
but I still go there.

Whether it's the council secretariat
or the pantry,

I can still sit down and do my job.

And that's something that only I can do.

Is this some new way of nitpicking?

I mean you've done enough,
so stop blaming yourself.

There will probably be

something only you can do too.

You're quite nosy
and full of energy all the time,

so…

someone will stay beside you

like me.

Come to me.

Then I'll stay beside you too

starting today.

I'm sorry,

but I'll have to refuse.

Why are you sorry? Refuse what?

That was just advice
as a friend and colleague

that was concerned about you.

Why did you come here then?

Why did you look for me for hours?

Why did you bring me dumplings?

At the sports festival,
why did you run beside me then?

Being concerned is being concerned,
dumplings are dumplings, and the race…

was just a race.

-Let's talk tomorrow after--
-I see.

You just gave me advice,
but I exaggerated and misunderstood it?

Get lost.

What?

-Get lost!
-Hey.

Did you just laugh?

No, it's not that.

You laughed?

Hey, don't.

Hey. Don't--

You better not come
within five meters from me.

I might seriously hurt you.

Forget about what I said
about keeping, and forget today.

Three times? Forget it.

You laughed again?

Gosh.

See you.

Don't laugh!

DAY OF SE-RA'S RETURN
TO THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

Look at all those reasons
for my suspension.

Don't forget why I came here
at first. Money is honest.

It never lies.

My goodness.

It's been a long time.

We're not close enough
to exchange such warm greetings.

Why are you talking down to me now?

Our names are up here together.

Come on. This is a totally different
type of punishment.

It's 3 days for me and 30 days for you.

Your name was up there
with mine for 30 days anyway.

Do you think people passing by
care about these tiny numbers?

They just see the names
and the punishment.

Well, that does seem true.

Darn it.

Why aren't you doing your job properly?

You should've crossed out my name
after my suspension ended.

It's an official document.

Darn it.

NOTICE OF 281ST PROVISIONAL MEETING
TO SELECT NEW CHAIRMAN

-So--
-Don't go there.

-I'm telling you.
-What?

What are you talking about?

-Listen to me.
-What?

I can't believe it.

-Are you serious?
-Really?

Does that make sense?

What's the big deal about that?

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

We're finally choosing a new chairman.

It was really annoying to see
Go Dong-chan as the deputy chairman.

I'm so relieved.

What if he becomes the real chairman?

Come on, no way.

What's the big deal
about being the chairman?

What do you mean? It is a big deal.

It's not just about honor.
The chairman is treated differently

from other representatives.

Of course.

The chairman receives 3.3 million won
a month for business operations.

He gets a car, a driver,
and a private secretary.

When the other
representatives share offices,

he gets his own private office.

Anyhow, being the chairman
is the best anywhere you go.

So when will the candidates register,
hold a debate,

and hold a campaign speech?

-What?
-What?

They don't do anything like that.

But isn't it a vote?

You're more naive than I thought.

The vote to choose a chairman
is like choosing the Pope.

The Pope?

-Yes.
-Yes, so there's

no registration or recommendation.

All the district representatives
are candidates.

There can be a winner

but no loser either,
so it's less embarrassing.

The Pope?

-Yes.
-You mean

like when they send
white smoke out of the chimney

when they choose a new Pope?

The new chairman will be chosen on June 8.

I see.

It's the Together Progressive
Party's turn this time.

Right, I guess we need
to stick to taking turns.

I wonder who
the progressive party will select.

Don't you think there's already
a potential candidate?

Representative Bong Chu-san will opt
for someone else besides Go Dong-chan.

Then that means
there will be more than one candidate

from the Together Progressive Party.

That will be an advantage for us.

The votes will be split
within their party,

and the chairman will be chosen

by the Aeguk Conservative Party's votes.

Let's think about who will be
a better candidate.

Do you have something to say?

Wouldn't a candidate
with a better chance of winning

be better regardless of a party?

To lead the eighth
Mawon-gu District Assembly,

Chairman Go Dong-chan
and Vice-Chairperson Yoon Hee-soo.

This room, the vice chairman's office
will be yours, Ms.--

No, it's Vice Chairman Yoon.

Why me?

I get that you're worried
about the fuss Ms. Koo caused

over the child abuse ordinance.

You would be, but if I become chairman,

-I'll make sure--
-I'm not worried.

It's that I don't get it.

If we're talking about the two of us,

it's Chairman Yoon Hee-soo
and Vice Chairman Go Dong-chan.

That sounds better.

My gosh.

Are you serious? You want to be chairman?

If it's so obvious that I can be,
why would I say no?

Stress.

I'm Year 2 Class 1
at Minju Elementary School,

and my name is Kim Ja-ryong.

If I become class president,

I'll work hard
to make our class a fun class.

Please vote for me as class president.

That's it?

What's a fun class?

Kim Ja-ryong.

What did you do to try
to become class president?

Tell me. Why should your friends
vote for you?

I want to do this.

I want to be and do a lot of things too.

Are you an interviewer?

Ja-ryong.

Here's some advice from someone
with experience in an election.

-It's not worth the trouble.
-It's not?

No, it's not.

I won't ever do this again.

Welcome.

Why--

If Mr. Bong suggests you run for chairman,
please refuse right away.

What? Chairman?

I'm not interested in becoming chairman.

I don't see why you came here
to suggest that.

It's a warning, not a suggestion.

At the by-election,

if Ms. Son Eun-sil hadn't yielded,

could you have gotten elected?

And at the municipal bond vote.

You pretended to abstain
and got to research an ordinance bill.

What about the supplementary budget?

You caused a fuss and ruined it.

You're not even with our party,

so don't be shameless

hiding behind Mr. Bong
to enjoy all the benefits.

You should just stop that.

When did I hide behind Mr. Bong?

Barging in here
to give an unwelcome warning

is really bad manners.

You'll see some bad manners
if you get involved

and ruin things for me again.

You could dream big,
but your position doesn't make you.

A person with ability and qualifications

should assume an appropriate position.

You mean that

I lack ability and qualifications?

Yes.

Why come here and upset someone
with no ability or qualifications

instead of ignoring me?

You great people can fight
among yourselves.

I'll work like a dog for money.

Call the number on the flyer.

Be strong today and tomorrow!

A FRESH FRIEND

Oh, dear.

Hello!

One, two, three, four, five.

Yes, a 20,000-won tip.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't there earlier.

-It--
-What'll you do?

-What'll you do about it?
-I apologize.

Will you pay for it?

Call your boss right now!

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

So what if you're sorry?

What are you looking at?

-Will you pay for this?
-I'm sorry, sir.

At first, rather than find
another opening as a security guard,

I decided to become a valet.
But it's not an easy job.

Cars get scratched,

and I live in fear that
I'll meet someone I know.

And I did meet a few friends.

Did the others find jobs too?

Not at all.

Compared to you,
it's not as easy to find jobs at our age.

A lot of people our age
can't use the internet.

But it's okay.

And next week,

we'll meet for a farewell party
we couldn't have last week.

I'm still sorry.

Don't be.

Thanks for what you did.

Where are we going? What's this?

What's this?

-Did you call for a driver?
-Yes, I did.

It's a lady driver today.

-The car's over here.
-Here and there,

there are women everywhere.

Peace!

Darn it.

Wear your seat belt.

Dad. What took you so long to pick up?

People are so shameless these days.
They openly asked for money.

Do they think an election is like a party?

From five to ten. Do you have that much?

Five to ten?

Wait. Hang on.

Lady. Take off your hoodie.

Why?

Just take off the hood.

Take it off.

It's a seat belt, not a rubber band!

Darn you, Koo Se-ra!

It's Koo Se-ra! Save me!

Stop the car!

We're just ten minutes out.

I can't entrust you with my safety!

I'm in the driver's seat.

You have to trust me for 10 minutes.

Why on earth do you work
as a driver-for-hire?

You're a district representative.

Oh, right.

You have a vote too.

Hang on a bit.

Here.

My fee is 30,000 won.

The rest is just how I show
my appreciation.

It's a tip?

Something like that.

It would be nice to get something
in return for my appreciation.

See you then.

Normally, I would've been thankful…

But I heard something funny in the car.

Is this it? Do you think this will cut it?

What are you talking about?

I'm very meticulous
when it comes to money.

If you want my vote
to become the chairman,

you should pay me just like others.

Don't take me for a fool.

-What are you doing?
-I mean, don't discriminate.

Then the actual candidates
from the Together Progressive Party

will be Go Dong-chan and Yoon Hee-soo.

I guess so.

I thought you would

recommend Ms. Koo.

Since you care for her so dearly.

I heard a majority

of the Aeguk Conservative Party
will vote for Mr. Go.

That's why I will

vote for Ms. Koo.

She won't even know who voted for her.
What's the use of that?

It would be a wasted vote.
It's meaningless.

The thing about people is,

if there is at least
one person on their side,

it's easier for them
to stick to their beliefs.

I'm not sure about that.

Whether Koo Se-ra has any beliefs.

Will she be able to turn down everything

she might be able to gain?

Thank you.

You came a long way. Why are you here?

What do you think?

Isn't it obvious?

Since no one will find out
what we talk about in here.

He just said, "we".

It's for the chairman by-election.

Go Dong-chan is a member
of the Progressive Party,

but he's actually a conservative man
to the bone.

That's why there are representatives
who don't like him.

Four in total.

This will help persuade them.

You should run for chairman.

Run for what?

Why are you telling me this?

Because I hate Go Dong-chan.

He got his position from his dad
to be a district representative,

but he thinks he did it on his own,
which I can't stand.

If someone has to sit in that position,

you're the better fit.

That will annoy me less.

I'm sick and tired of elections now.

I know I've fallen down countless times,

but if I fall again this time, I really…

I really won't be able to get back up.

Being chairman doesn't mean getting a car,
driver, and money for business operations.

You'll gain internal power

and access to any information
the chief knows.

If you become the chairman and gain power,

things like that won't happen again.

I wanted

to tell you in advance this time.

I truly hope you will finish

your remaining term without any trouble.

I'll be waiting for your call.

Good night.

What is he doing here?

Wait for what?

I told you not to come
within five meters from me.

Tell me why you're here.

Just like when you ran for election
for the 50-million-won salary,

don't run for chairman for 3,300,000 won

from business operations.

Oh, so it's 3,300,000 won a month.

That's quite tempting. I didn't know that.

If Chairman Jo sends
Mr. Kim again like today,

or if he asks to meet with you

-and mentions the by-election--
-Why?

Do you also think
I'm unqualified and incompetent?

What?

Darn it.

Hey.

And stop calling Mr. Kim
like he's your subordinate.

Is it that hard to treat him
with a bit of respect?

He's older than you!

Older?

THIS MONTH'S SALES' QUEEN! KOO SE-RA!

If you become the chairman and gain power,

things like that won't happen again.

don't run for chairman for 3,300,000 won

from business operations.

Congratulations.

-Congratulations.
-Congratulations.

Congratulations.

-Congratulations.
-You're the best.

Isn't it about time a competent person
becomes the chairman?

The first candidate
for our class president election

is very smart and has good grades,

but that doesn't mean she's that popular.

The second candidate
bought hamburgers for everyone.

I think we should just draw straws.

Even if we have bad grades and no parents,

we need a fair chance
to become the class president.

I want to be president too.

You should've registered then.

-Don't you want to do it too?
-No, I don't want to become the chairman.

What's a chairman?

I was asking if you wanted to date.

No, I'm going to make money.

I'll make tons of money

and stack the fridge
in the comic book store full of ice cream.

-Go make money.
-Okay.

FIND-A-JOB PACKAGE

TO SUCCESSFULLY FIND A NEW JOB!

FIND-A-JOB PACKAGE

TO SUCCESSFULLY FIND A NEW JOB!

Stay strong today and tomorrow, this is--

It's me.

And who might that be?

Go Dong-chan.

Shouldn't we at least save our numbers
as colleagues in this assembly?

Tell me what you want,
since I'm a busy person.

You're so impatient,
and I'm not even surprised.

Here you go.

You asked me to pay you just as much
as the others to receive your vote.

It's nothing much.
You saw my house, right?

Ta-da.

Disregard or discriminate?
That's a misunderstanding.

I'm a person who really
strives for cooperation.

We can get along well, right?

There's no one on my side.

Do you also think
I'm unqualified and incompetent?

KOO SE-RA

KOO SE-RA

KOO SE-RA

Job information
from the employment center.

I printed them out
so the elders can read easily.

Please pass them along
to anyone who needs it

during the farewell party.

SEEKING NEW EMPLOYEES

INFORMATION ON OPEN JOB POSITIONS

NAME OF COMPANY, NAME OF CEO

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

You called me over here,
and you show up late?

It will be worth your wait.

Sit back down.

You'll pay if this isn't good.

At the chairman by-election,
I'll vote for you.

That's your common sense talking.

My common sense tells me to keep promises.

That's why I thought I'd get
my way after sports day.

When you dissuaded me,
I hoped that you were wrong.

But I was right, from start to finish.

These people dislike Go Dong-chan.

Who…

KIM SEUNG-HYUN

Who gave this to you?

You should ask that question
three seconds from now.

A gold bar?

Is it real gold?

Who gave you this?

Why are you doing this all of a sudden?

The truth is,

I wanted to be chairman a bit.

But nothing works out if I get involved.

I'll do what I can.

Become chairman, and beat up everyone
who gives and takes gifts

and sells positions.

Can you do that?

It's a misunderstanding.

I got a very reliable tip.

A district representative was sentenced

to six months' imprisonment
for bribery for giving

his fellow colleagues a gold bar
in hopes of becoming the next chairman.

Do you want that?

Of course, I don't.

Renounce your candidacy for chairman.

Back me, and I won't make this an issue.

Fine.

I thought you were managing on your own.

I just didn't want
to cause you any trouble.

Can you get your six
Aeguk Conservative members

to vote for me?

If you help me out just once,
I will serve and work for you so hard.

What about the gold bar
that Ms. Yoon found?

To be honest, that was a gift
that Koo Se-ra demanded from me first.

Once I become chairman,
I can persuade Ms. Yoon to let it go.

Sir. If you make up your mind…

Can you help me?

MAWON-GU DISTRICT ASSEMBLY

Lock it tight.

Okay. Go.

It's locked. Sit down.

Sit down.

What's wrong?

Why is it locked?

We shall begin
the 281st Mawon-gu Temporary Meeting

to elect the next chairman to lead

the eighth Mawon-gu District Assembly.

I present

Agenda Two, by-election for chairman.

Article 3 Clause 1
of the Local Government Act says

the chairman must be voted for
in the chamber by a secret ballot

and is elected by a majority vote
of the members present.

Then we shall begin the vote.

How about naengmyeon?

-I want something hot, not cold.
-Naengmyeon, then.

Okay.

Clean up the chamber and post the result,
Mr. Seo Gong-myung.

I'd like everything to be ready
for the new chairman.

I had some weird dreams.

How could I be late on voting day?

Darn it.

Why are they smiling?

Where are they going?

Hello.

Koo Se-ra got six votes?

Yes.

Koo Se-ra!

What did you do?

You-- Koo Se-ra, you--

Koo Se-ra!

What did you do?

What did you do? Who are you? Move.

What did you do?

-Gosh, I'm sorry.
-What did you do?

-What--
-I apologize.

You…

What a way to betray me.

What?

What…

-Koo Se-ra--
-One second!

What on earth?

You took everything I offered!

Koo Se-ra? You vote for Koo Se-ra?

Tell me. Whose idea was it?

Who do you think?

Would we do what Koo Se-ra asked?

What?

KOO SE-RA

Why do you keep looking?

I don't get it, but whichever way
you look, Ms. Koo is it.

GO DONG-CHAN 1, KOO SE-RA 6

GO DONG-CHAN 1, KOO SE-RA 6

Mr. Jo Maeng-duk assigned us.

BALLOT

If we can't trust each other--

A visible promise.

Then we write

Dong-chan's name
in the spots you assigned us?

No.

Not Go Dong-chan.

Koo Se-ra.

-What?
-Who?

Jo Maeng-duk…

I got you elected.

The reason I resigned as chairman was
because of part-timer Koo Se-ra.

And I ended up leaving the title to you.

What would people say?

It looks like we colluded.

That's right.

People will only mention the end result
that the Aeguk Conservative Party

voted unanimously for you.

So now,

we must think of what we can do together.

This room has been empty
for a long time, so there's a lot to do.

I'll help you as best I can.

CHAIRMAN JO MAENG-DUK

We should swap this first.

Don't waste an opportunity
because of your suspicion.

What should I do?

Koo Se-ra is an ideal candidate?

Yes.

She keeps causing trouble
like a wild colt.

We must tie her down with a chairman title

in order to prevent
future issues and disputes.

That's what I thought.

She could gain allies
and cause even bigger problems.

How could she gain allies?

Mr. Heo hates her
for exposing his gambling habit.

During the by-election, me and Ms. Yoon,
and since the election, Mr. Go, Mr. Shim,

Mr. Jang, and Mr. Si
feel uncomfortable around her.

As of today, even Mr. Bong
turned against her.

Koo Se-ra

has no one on her side
within the district assembly.

Instead,

next to that wild colt,

we just need to assign her a trainer

who knows what we want.

The former chairman's secretary
will do that for us.

Wouldn't a candidate
with a better chance of winning

be better regardless of a party?

I believe Koo Se-ra
is the ideal candidate.

Koo Se-ra?

I will stay close to Ms. Koo Se-ra

and do what I can to make sure
she's of some use to you.

The person you have reached
is unavailable. Please leave…

KOO SE-RA

Okay. I understand, Chief Won.

Mr. Seo.

Mr. Seo.

Yes?

The notice you posted
for the chairman's secretary.

Take it down.

-Why?
-The ex-chairman named someone.

The chief approved, so take it down.

Isn't the ex-chairman Jo Maeng-duk?

Is she his adoptive daughter?
He cares for her so much.

Who did he recommend as her secretary?

Clean up the chamber and post the result,
Mr. Seo Gong-myung.

I'd like everything to be ready
for the new chairman.

Darn it.

CHAIRMAN JO MAENG-DUK

CHAIRMAN JO MAENG-DUK

A person with ability and qualifications

should assume an appropriate position.

If you become the chairman and gain power,

things like that won't happen again.

Don't waste an opportunity
because of your suspicion.

Listen carefully.

Call the chief's office

and ask her to postpone
the appointment of your secretary.

-My secretary?
-Yes.

Hello?

Chief secretary.

My secretary?

Mr. Jo Maeng-duk?

Listen carefully.

Call the chief's office and say this.

You know that a chairman is allowed

a level-seven secretary,

but considering
Mawon-gu's budget restrictions,

instead of hiring someone,

you'll pick one of the staff.

That's not important right now.

No. It is important.

I'll recommend someone ideal.

Who?

Seo Gong-myung.

Who?

Me.

KOO SE-RA

-Where are--
-Because I got involved when I'm a nobody,

ten people got fired instead of nine.

Like you said that night,

I'll stay where I am

and do what I must.

What only I can do.

And I'll stop nine from becoming ten.

And still,

Koo Se-ra will

look out for those nine people.

FORMER SARANG RESORT

KOO SE-RA

What are you doing?

Guess what I just said.

Mr. Seo, you're at the center of gossip.

The rumor did at least
three rounds already.

I will continue

to like what I like.
