[The Art of Negotiation]

What happened?

There was a withdrawal of


But they weren't accounted for.

- In cash? - Yes.

Withdrawals must be approved
by CEO Lee Hyeong Taek, right?

Yes. And there is one more
person who can approve of it.

There could be a reason behind that.

Or it could be a mistake.

We don't even know who
made the withdrawal yet.

Bon Joo!

What are you doing here?

You took a day off. You
didn't go away or something?

No. Did you come out for lunch?

Yes. I'm sick of eating in the cafeteria.

Okay. See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Bye. Watch out for the car.

I'll meet with Bon Joo first.

Hello.

Hello.

- I'm sorry to bother you. - Hello.

Is Ms. Jeong Bon Joo here?

Bon Joo?

She took a day off today.

But I ran into her at the bank.

At the bank? Which bank?

Sir.

Hello. What's this about?

You must be on your way out.

Yes. Why do you ask?

I need to talk to you.

Could you spare me a moment of your time?

I need to get going now.

What's this about?

I'm here to make a withdrawal.

- How much? - All of it.

Ms. Jeong Bon Joo?

Yes.

You want to withdraw everything in cash?

Yes.

Why? Is it not possible?

No. Hold on.

What?

Mr. Yoon. Don't you think
you're being unreasonable now?

How could you after
conducting due diligence?

You know how hard I worked
for GREEN VIEW Country Club.

Are you suspecting me?

I understand your frustration.

But you're authorized to make withdrawals.

So how much are we missing?

We're missing 100,000 dollars.

What?

Did you say 100,000 dollars?

[Episode 10: Loyalty]

[Conference Room]

If...

embezzlement is confirmed,

we must notify the Audit Team first.

After the Audit Team
investigates this matter,

they will decide whether or
not they will file criminal charges.

Let's find Ms. Jeong Bon Joo first.

Nothing has been confirmed yet.

If you're saying so for my sake...

Selling GREEN VIEW
Country Club is our top priority.

To do that, it's more important to
find the missing 100,000 dollars.

What if we find her and get the money back?

Can it go away as if it never happened?

It can't go away...

that easily.

I see.

Then I'll come back after I
meet up with some friends.

You know, don't you?

That's what everyone is talking about.

Everyone is utterly shocked.

We must find Bon Joo quickly,
so she can return the money.

Or this could be really bad for her.

Will she go to prison?

The punishment for
embezzlement is getting harsher.

So that's a possibility.

But we really don't know anything.

You know what she is like.

Bon Joo isn't the type
to discuss this openly.

Jung Hwa.

You don't know anything?

No.

If we find her quickly, I can help her.

Give me a call.

I'll call you the moment I
get any news about her.

Okay.

Bye.

- Don't skip your meal. - Okay.

Hey, Jung Hwa.

Are you on your way to Seoul now?

No, I'm at the terminal now.

I just wanted to wish you a safe trip.

By the way,

would you be interested in seeing Moon Jin?

Moon Jin? Why?

You know,

Moon Jin is Bon Joo's closest friend.

She's taking a break now, right?

Yes.

Is she staying at home?

She's probably in the hospital now.

Moon Jin.

Soon Young?

I hope your arm is recovering well.

Yes.

I'll be fine once I have
one more surgery tomorrow.

How did you get injured?

At work.

Bon Joo told me that you
were working as a caddie.

Bon Joo? Did you see Bon Joo?

Yes.

We grabbed drinks
together. It had been a while.

Gosh, it brought back old memories.

I bet it did for you.

- You've been away for some time. - Right.

- Oh, yes. When did you see Bon Joo?
- Yesterday.

- Yesterday? - Yes.

- I see. - She visits me often.

It might be because she feels bad.

It's not like I got injured because of her.

My arm was injured
because the cart tipped over.

- The golf cart? - Yes.

But our customers were also
in the cart when it tipped over.

Other customers were badly injured too.

How bad were the injuries?

Well,

they didn't have bone fractures like I did.

But there was a severe injury to the face.

They even filed a lawsuit against me.

Really?

Were you able to settle?

Yes. They said they would be lenient.

I see.

Bon Joo took care of it.

She's the best.

Isn't she so cool?

Yes.

She was the one who
suggested this position.

She said I could make good
money if I was a good caddie.

I see.

- That's how you started it. - Yes.

At first, I turned it down...

because I'd get the job
based on her recommendation.

But if I didn't do a good job,
it would affect her reputation.

But she said she had already paid.

Pay for what?

To become a caddie, you
need to go through training.

But before that, you must put
down 300 dollars as a deposit.

She also paid for that.

But she still felt
responsible for the accident.

By the way, Bon Joo went to
the injured customer and begged.

The customer who demanded


decided to just settle.

- Is that what she said? - Yes.

But I know that's a lie.

I doubt she begged them to settle.

She probably made a scene.

You know what Bon Joo is like.

I do.

It might seem Bon Joo
is always confident...

and doesn't care about what people think.

But she's so sensitive...

when it comes to inconveniencing others.

She's generous about other people's flaws.

But she's so strict about her flaws.

Hello.

I'm Jeong Bon Joo from
GREEN VIEW Country Club.

How can I get a meeting with
the manager of M and A Team?

- What was your name again?
- It's Jeong Bon Joo.

Yes.

Yes, thank you.

Ms. Jeong is in the lobby now.

Hello.

You should go.

Well, the thing is...

- Moon Jin. - Yes?

The truth is...

- Hold on. - Okay.

- Jin Soo. - Attorney Oh.

Ms. Jeong is in our office now.

With the return of 100,000 dollars,

the company is considering...

ending the matter with your dismissal.

I don't have it. I spent it all.

You used that as
settlement money, didn't you?

Yes.

Thanks to that, I was able to settle.

So...

I'll just face the punishment.

Bon Joo.

Embezzling...

under 100,000 dollars can result
in 4 to 16 months of imprisonment.

Embezzling between 100,000
dollars to 500,000 dollars...

can result in 1 year to


Then I'll probably serve a year in prison.

So I earned 100,000 dollars
in 1 year. That's not so bad.

Is this about Moon Jin?

Lawsuits are just unbearable.

I'd rather serve a year in prison.

["Golf Cart Tipped Over"]
["Is Caddie Solely Responsible?"]

Then we'll handle it as embezzlement.

But I have a question.

Sure.

If it's one million dollars,
how many years would it be?

What?

Are you asking what
your sentence would be...

if you embezzled one million dollars?

Yes.

Did you...

embezzle a million dollars?

No, not me.

What's going on?

Darn it.

[Passport]

What is this about?

Could you spare us a moment?

Well, I have to leave now...

for a business trip.
Let's talk another time.

Are you going to the US?

Yes.

To take over the flower delivery company.

Am I right?

My goodness.

Excuse us. May we ask you some questions?

Did you receive caddie training?

Caddie training? Yes, we
all completed the training.

You have to complete
the training to work here.

We heard you had to pay
for the training. Is it true?

Yes, a 300-dollar deposit.

Pardon? A deposit?

But why? Unless it was needed...

to issue banknotes or...

Why would caddies be
required to pay a deposit?

We heard they had to pay a deposit.

The thing is,

do you know how often the caddies quit?

Ninety percent of them quit as
soon as they complete their training.

Then what about us? We fed them...

and even trained them.

If they run away because
they can't work as caddies...

The company has to take
care of all the expenses.

That's why they're all required
to pay a 300-dollar deposit.

They get it all back when
they leave the company.

So?

Did they get their money back?

They say we'd get it all back, but...

How would you get it back
when you're running away?

You'd sneak out in secret.

We at least received
training, and they feed us too,

so we can call it even.

Hey, they won't give us the
money back even if we ask for it.

I've never seen anyone
who got their deposit back.

I heard you never had to
pay such a deposit in the past.

Then when did it start?

It all began when that
cheapskate joined the company.

Mr. Lee Hyeong Taek.

Doesn't that make him a
bully, not a cheapskate?

A bully?

Then how did you pay the 300 dollars?

What do you mean, how?

Did you pay the company directly?
Or was it deducted from your pay?

Oh, they tell you...

to bring 300 dollars in cash
on the first day of your training.

That money is in our bank account.

I didn't see it in your asset list.
It must be a secret bank account.

Well, we have to return
the money to them anyway.

It'll only complicate
our financial statements.

So you've been managing it separately.

That's considered embezzlement.

No.

The money is all there.

Ms. Jeong Bon Joo said...

she wanted to use the money to
pay Ms. Park Moon Jin's settlement.

And she obtained the other
caddies' consent to do so.

Hey, weren't we donating that money?

I signed that form.

Me too. Wasn't that what it was for?

You signed a consent
form? Who asked you to do it?

Bon Joo suggested we use
that money to help Moon Jin.

I see. So, you all signed the consent form?

We did.

We all know Moon Jin suffered unfairly.

But why? Is that money gone?

The money should still all be there.

Bon Joo felt bad for what
Ms. Park had to go through.

She was injured herself,

but she had to pay the settlement money.

Bon Joo thought the company should
take care of the settlement money.

So she asked you
about it, but you declined.

The accident happened due to her
own mistakes while driving the cart.

Why should the company take care of it?

The cart that tipped over was an old one,

so the company is partially
responsible for the accident too.

Bon Joo had planned...

to take 100,000 dollars
out of the account...

to help pay Moon Jin's settlement money.

However, she found out that
the bank account was empty.

She confirmed that...

the entire balance was
transferred on October 11.

The total amount was
about one million dollars.

Isn't it the amount of the severance
pay he asked for, Mr. Yoon?

Yes.

We met at Seoul Station on October 11.

That day,

you asked for a million-dollar
severance package,

but I suppose you didn't
think you'd be able to get it.

Do you have evidence?

No, we do not.

All we have is circumstantial evidence.

The thing is,

for us to check the transaction
details of the account,

we'd either have to
take you to the police...

or hand the case over to
the prosecutors right away.

What would you like to do?

I was going to use it...

and deposit it back into the account.

That's also embezzlement.

I'm sorry.

Bon Joo.

I don't think you did anything wrong.

No, what I did was wrong.

That cheapskate is in the wrong.

[Tofu Village]

Mr. Lee probably thought of
the deposit when he found out...

that the country club would be sold, right?

He figured no one else
knew about the money,

so I bet he thought, "I should
take this money." Right?

Yes. Based on the date when
the money was withdrawn,

I believe he made the decision
during the due diligence process.

My gosh. I thought Mr. Lee...

worked really hard to
save the country club.

Who knew he'd do something like this?

He did work hard, but
in the wrong direction.

He just tried to cut costs, which
probably led to other problems.

He wouldn't even bother
to fix broken golf carts.

A typical bean counter, I'd say.

"Bean counter?"

Yes. "Bean," as in a soybean.

A bean counter. A person who
counts beans, literally speaking.

It's a mildly derogatory term for
an accountant or financial officer.

They don't care about the
quality of your product or service.

They're only concerned...

with improving your financial
statements through cost-cutting.

But why count beans?

Well, when you buy beans,

you should think about
using them to make tofu.

Good tofu. But instead, they just keep...

counting the beans. One by one.

Hence the term, "bean counter."

What's wrong with beans?

Nothing, Mom.

Goodness. Beans are so important.

We only use locally grown
soybeans to make our tofu.

I take out all the bad
ones by hand, one by one.

We handpick only the
good beans to make our tofu.

All right. Applause, please.

Thank you. This looks delicious.

All right, enjoy.

- Thank you. - All right.

- We can eat now, right? - Yes, let's eat.

Dig in!

You had each caddie pay 300
dollars for 4 and a half years.

That roughly amounts to...

one million dollars.

Goodness. That's a lot of money.

But...

you kept the money in a separate
account, not your corporate account?

It was only because I knew
we had to return the money...

You've said that several times already.

So, the total amount you
embezzled is one million. Am I right?

No, that is not true.

What is not true?

It wasn't one million dollars?

I didn't embezzle anything.

Keep this up, and we'll have
to hand this over to the police.

Will you still deny it?

Please contact my lawyer.

Mr. Lee Hyeong Taek.

This is Internal Affairs. You
aren't at a police station now.

Call your lawyer yourself.

[Director's Office]

Yes.

Mr. Yoon?

You're here. My gosh.

Take a seat. Let's sit down.

I have a favour to ask.

See? I said you'd have questions
once you joined the board.

We're trying to sell GREEN
VIEW Country Club at the moment.

Yes, I know.

Chairman Song told you to sell it.

Yes.

But during the due diligence process,

we learned that some people in the
company committed embezzlement.

I see. And?

CEO Lee Hyeong Taek
embezzled one million dollars,

and Manager Jeong Bon Joo
embezzled 100,000 dollars.

What a hot mess.

They had...

a situation though.

You can call your lawyer
once you're at the police station.

Hand him over to the police.

Yes, sir.

I told you. I never embezzled anything.

Sir, the attorney would like to see you.

- Attorney? - Yes, from the M and A Team.

[Interview Room 2]

Here's a statement
regarding Ms. Jeong Bon Joo.

[Statement]

This was written by Mr. Yoon Joo
No and Attorney Oh Soon Young?

Yes. And it was approved...

by Mr. Cho Beom Soo, the HR director.

I see. But why would the
M and A Team do this?

It happened while pursuing an M and A deal.

Right, I see.

Then...

we're letting her go, right?

Yes.

All right.

Oh, wait.

What about Mr. Lee Hyeong Taek?

He should be arrested.

And we'll make him cough
up the one million dollars.

We'll get that money back...

and use 100,000 dollars
from it as settlement money.

But he keeps denying it altogether.

How's Joo No? Is he doing a good job?

I'm sure he is doing a
good job. He'd better.

"He'd better?" Why? Are
you worried about something?

I think Director Ha got his feelings hurt.

Oh, come on. Director
Ha couldn't be happier.

Hey, play the song I like.

Yes, sir.

You can do e-commerce...

while Director Ha does what he needs to do.

Then things will get even
better for Sanin, you know?

- Let's sit and enjoy the music. - Okay.

Sit.

[Yoon Joo No]

Oh, my. I wasn't expecting
your call, Mr. Yoon.

What's this about?

Sure, let's do that.

Yoon Joo No, this fool.

He wants to buy me a drink.

I guess something happened
between you and Mr. Yoon.

Something happened?

Like what?

It's just that...

I was the CEO of Sanin Construction,

so I know his face.

He was the one who sold Sanin Construction.

Don't you hold a grudge against him?

I am not a fan of his.

Anyway,

what did you want to talk to me about?

Oh, well...

If you happen to know whether
or not the deal will go through,

I'd appreciate a heads-up.

For me, I don't have to
have this deal go through.

What matters more...

is building trust between us.

I see. In other words,

you're worried I might back
out after giving Yoon Joo No...

the runaround?

Director Choi.

How much did you get
as your retainer for this?

Pardon?

Do you think I'd spend that much
money just to discipline a mutt?

- Don't walk me out. Do your work.
- Yes, sir.

Get back safely, sir.

Will the price drop significantly if
the embezzlement is confirmed?

The total amount embezzled...

will be taken into consideration
when assessing the value,

but the company's ethics
will be put into question.

My gosh. Lee Hun Min will use it
to bring the price down like crazy.

He'll sue the employees
involved in the embezzlement.

That's why Mr. Yoon went
to meet with him, right?

Oh, my. Mr. Yoon, I'm
surprised you called me first.

I've been here. The food here is very good.

I thought I should come here when
and if someone offered to treat me.

This is on you, right?

Of course. Please enjoy.

I wanted to meet with you
to ask for your understanding.

While conducting due diligence,

we found out some GREEN VIEW
employees committed embezzlement.

How much?

The CEO embezzled a million dollars.

The financial manager, 100,000 dollars.

So, it's 1.1 million in total.

That's not a lot of money.

I trust you'll take care of it.

Yes, thank you for understanding.

We'll get the money back.

All involved employees will
face disciplinary dismissal.

You're good at your job...

but quite slow-witted.

Do you mind elaborating on that?

I can't possibly work with
those who have pocketed funds.

Everyone must be dismissed.

Are you implying a layoff?

Yes. Of every one of them.

Did something happen?

CEO Lee Hun Min wants
all golf club employees...

to be dismissed.

I did think this so-called
test was too easy.

[Chairman Song Jae Sik]

Yes?

Chairman Song. Director
Ha and Mr. Lee are here.

Right. Let them inside.

Gosh.

Take a seat.

What the chairman wants to know...

isn't whether the golf club can be sold.

It's your loyalty.

With laying off everyone?

Correct.

He wants to see...

if you can dismiss the
employees for his sake.

So...

Do you think you can handle it?

Yes. Leave it to me,

and I'll develop it well for five years.

I love his straightforward answer.

Good.

He doesn't hesitate when it
comes to building apartments either.

I see.

And...

How was the land?

It was great, Chairman Song.

Since the intersection is close by,

it has good transportation.

And the new town is next to it.

As expected, you have a good eye.

I was surprised myself
when I visited the place.

Right?

Well, whatever.

Let's go hiking together.

We can talk on our way up.

How about it?

Sure, I'm in.

Even so, I think Chairman
Song has a hidden purpose...

in selecting Mr. Lee as the buyer.

What do you mean by that?

Chairman Song...

must want to build apartments again.

Mr. Lee is willing to
take over GREEN VIEW...

but demands the dismissal of all employees.

So apartments will go
up on the golf course land.

Yes.

That must be why...

Chairman Song asked for Mr. Lee.

Chairman Song did regret...

selling Sanin Construction.

He must believe that...

the business will grow in
no time if he starts again.

What do you think?

Even if there's potential in construction,

Sanin can't jump into that business.

When selling Sanin Construction,

the promise was not to
run the same business.

The term may last for five years,

but the implicit rule is that
the promise lasts forever.

Despite it all, if Sanin starts
a construction business again,

Sanin will be breaking the law.

Even if it's done secretly, the
market will eventually find out.

- I'll be leaving, Director Ha.
- Okay. Great work.

In other words,

Director Ha's job...

is to keep it a low profile.

And Director Ha must be using Lee Hun Min.

Oh, my.

I'm making a comeback.

Warn those who were happy to
see me leave that they'll be sorry.

Say that you ask Chairman Song.

If he denies it,

you can't keep questioning him.

There's no way to stop it, is there?

We can't stop it.

This deal...

will decide whether you
become a director or not.

But isn't your future relationship
with the chairman more important?

So,

how about following the
chairman's plan this time?

I'm saying this because
I get the feeling...

that becoming a director
isn't solely about the position.

Mr. Yoon.

Good morning, Director Cho.

I approved what the M and A Team requested.

It must be about Ms. Jeong Bon Joo.

- Thank you. - No problem.

Ask away if you need help again.

Okay. Thank you for your trouble.

Is that all?

CEO Lee Hun Min
stopped by the headquarters.

Right.

He's the one buying
GREEN VIEW Country Club.

I see.

And so? Is he buying it?

Mr. Lee is demanding a full layoff...

as a condition of the acquisition.

Shall we talk in my office for a minute?

Unbelievable.

Laying off employees is not that tough.

What's more, corruption is involved.

Yes.

The two concerned employees
will soon be dismissed.

No. That's not everything.

CEO Lee Hyeong Taek...

has an accomplice in the Game Department.

- An accomplice? - Yes.

What does the Game Department do?

You made the inspection,
so you'll know well.

It oversees all support
to ensure clients have...

a smooth golfing round.

That same department manages the caddies.

And the claim is that the
deposit was embezzled there too.

Correct. That was what I heard.

It's not entirely unreasonable...

because if the company is being sold...

and the CEO pockets one million dollars,

the employees would feel anxious.

And they're the only ones
who know about the deposit.

Do you also believe there
might be an accomplice?

What do you think, Mr. Yoon?

- There's a possibility. - Good.

Lay off some employees,

send the rest to training,

and give out packages. It won't take long.

Especially with the small
number of employees.

What? Do you want HR to do it?

No.

The M and A Team will do it.

Things are looking good for you.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning.

Let's have a short meeting.

All right.

CEO Lee Hun Min is demanding a full layoff.

Are you going to do it?

Isn't that breaking the promise?

As Mr. Lee didn't guarantee...

employee succession by contract,

he can make such demands.

What's more, he can use...

the employee fraud within
GREEN VIEW as the excuse.

Even so, laying off employees
unrelated to the embezzlement...

won't be easy.

CEO Lee Hyeong Taek claimed
that the Game Department...

had already embezzled
quite a large sum of money.

Could that be true?

We should confirm it.

Mr. Han Gil Su from the Game Department?

That's me.

Why did you want to see me?

You know that CEO Lee Hyeong
Taek embezzled money, yes?

I do.

But he argues that...

it wasn't his doing...

but the doing of someone
in the Game Department.

That's why you're here, Ms. Oh Jeong Min.

I swear...

it wasn't me.

You're saying I also pocketed the money?

He didn't pinpoint you.

He said it was a Game Department employee.

Ms. Oh Jeong Min is also
being interviewed next door.

Yes.

Either way, it wasn't me.

If it wasn't you, was it Mr. Han Gil Su?

I checked the bank statement.

Money has been gradually
withdrawn for a while now.

Oh, that? I returned it to the caddie.

I see.

Ms. Jeong Bon Joo contacted everyone,

including caddies and former employees.

You know Park Moon Jin, right?

It's to use for the settlement money.

So what?

If a 300 dollar refund was issued,

was there a signed agreement
for its use in the settlement?

The caddies could be lying,

saying they didn't
receive it when they did.

True.

But if the story doesn't
match with the next room's...

We didn't use much.

Three hundred dollars each.

It was used for team dinners and such.

But...

Mr. Han suggested we use it.

So you admit to using the money, yes?

Is Ms. Oh Jeong Min...

blaming me?

Well, you're her superior.

Darn it.

She knew about it all.

Didn't we use it together?

Seriously!

But it was the CEO who
embezzled one million dollars, yes?

Yes, correct.

Darn it.

Hey.

I heard you were swamped these days.

Now that I've experienced
it, HR is no joke either.

Of course not.

Layoffs are the most difficult task of HR.

Especially a full layoff.

Our director was on cloud nine...

when your team manager took that task.

Thanks to Mr. Yoon, he's at ease.

- I'm leaving. - What? Why...

Dismiss both of them.

Understood.

But this doesn't feel right at all.

What doesn't?

Laying off everyone because
of this is wrong, isn't it?

Who's laying off everyone?

Was that what you thought we were doing?

Weren't we laying off everyone?

We can't dismiss innocent employees.

But others must think it's a full layoff.

Especially the HR Team.

I see.

I've already taken action.

The M and A Team is
working overtime every day.

As you know, layoffs
are a challenging task.

[Cho Beom Soo]

Yoon Joo No will climb up high.

He won't stop at the director.

By the way,

CEO Lee Hun Min won't
be able to run the golf club...

if all employees are dismissed.

So why is he making such a tall order?

You see...

Chairman Song seems to want to
start a construction company again.

But that's impossible.

There's a five-year non-compete clause.

Exactly. That's why I
suspect the chairman...

is using Lee Hun Min to grow
the business and then acquire it.

CEO Lee Hun Min is
demanding layoffs because...

The plan might be to build
apartments on the golf course land.

What will you do?

Shouldn't we advise the
chairman against this idea?

He's not openly stepping
back into the field...

nor do we have definitive proof,

so who are we to go up to him
and advise him against anything?

What do we do, then?

We seem to be out of options...

which is why...

we need someone who
has power over the chairman.

Does such a person exist?

It's been a while, Mr. Yoon.

Right. It has been a while.

Are you still at Sanin?

My offer still stands.

For now,

I still have a job there, thanks to you.

I'm not saying that just to be polite.

Because you took over Sanin Construction...

at a decent price,

Sanin was able to avert a crisis.

Thank you.

Do you know how much grief I received...

for acquiring it at a price that high?

I should've demanded a discount.

I believe the price was reasonable.

However,

for selling it at that price,

Sanin added a clause...

stating that it wouldn't work
in the same line of business.

For that price? Absolutely.

It'd be wrong to show up as a competitor.

Exactly. Hence this meeting.

I see. Why is that?

Is the chairman planning
something in secret?

I can't be sure,

but I believe it to be a possibility.

But...

why are you telling me this?

Aren't you one of Sanin's people?

You bought Sanin
Construction at a generous price.

I believe it is also my job to
see that you remain satisfied.

The generous price
includes after-sales service?

For purchasing it at
its full price, of course.

So...

What can I do about it?

Do you like to go hiking?

- This is nice weather we have. - Right.

Goodness. Chairman Song!

Goodness me.

- Ms. Ji. - Hello.

Are you on your way down from a hike?

The company's building
a new apartment complex,

and I wanted to receive some good energy.

I see.

CEO Lee?

That's right.

I see. What's going on?

What do you mean?

It's odd that you're all here together.

Those of us who like to hike...

got together to...

Yes, of course. And here I thought...

you were planning something behind my back.

Allow me to introduce you to
my company's lawyer and advisor.

The name's Choi Yong Seok.

Chairman Song Jae Sik of
Sanin. I heard a lot about you.

- Goodness. - What a pleasure.

I'm Senior Managing Director Ha Tae Soo.

I'm Lee Hun Min.

May I ask what it is you do?

I'm between jobs at the moment.

You must be a lawyer.

I passed the 27th bar exam. What about you?

The 38th, sir.

I see you passed it before Soon Young did.

Ms. Ji, we'll get going, then.

Yes, of course.

- I'll see you around, sir. - Sure.

Was I wrong to say that?

If we meet again, it won't
be for something good.

Shall we?

Scrap it.

Sorry?

Call my driver. I'm leaving.

What...

- Did you run into the chairman? - Yes.

Mount Bukhan has quite the view.

I'm sure it wasn't easy.

By the way,

wouldn't the chairman know?

That Mr. Yoon sent her there?

Yes. That Mr. Yoon...

is a tattletale.

Come on.

No way.

He can't be sure that I told her,

so would he ask me?

I guess it could've been me.

Sir, the project is too good...

to scrap altogether.

Since you got the wheels moving,
maybe you should keep it rolling.

That woman is wealthy, isn't she?

Sorry?

Do you mean CEO Ji Yeon U?

Yes, the company has a lot of capital.

Exactly.

Even her lawyer seems to be...

on an expensive retainer.

What if...

she sues us for breach of contract
once we get into constructions...

and tries to rob me of my money? What then?

Come in.

- Sir, it's Mr. Yoon Joo No.
- Right. Let him in.

Sure.

I'm here to brief you on the sale
of GREEN VIEW Country Club.

Go ahead.

During the process,

my team discovered
instances of embezzlement.

All those involved had
their employment terminated.

However, the acquirer, CEO Lee Hun Min...

CEO Lee Hun Min is the acquirer, sir.

He recently began working at a fund...

and has been negotiating
this deal as the acquirer.

CEO Lee requested that all of
GREEN VIEW's employees...

be dismissed.

In order to proceed with this deal,

we must dismiss all the
remaining employees.

That should be handled by yourself.

There's no need to
brief the chairman on it.

I only did so since the chairman
cares dearly for his employees.

However, selling GREEN
VIEW CC is also just as important,

which is why I wanted his opinion.

Scrap it.

Yes, sir. I appreciate
the wise decision, sir.

I'll excuse myself, then.

By the way...

- Yes? - You...

You're not cut out to be a board member.

You're dismissed.

Yes, sir.

You know, I was taken aback...

when I heard Bon Joo had embezzled.

Embezzlement like we hear on
the news? That's what she did?

Well,

I was going to ask all the
caddies for permission...

and spend the money accordingly,

but Lee Hyeong Taek stole the money away.

Still. Didn't you think you'd get caught?

Of course she knew she'd get caught.

Why else would she have
wired it to her personal account?

She immediately turned herself in too.

You should've reported the boss, then.

How could you have
taken the money yourself?

Then we wouldn't have
been able to settle in time.

Unbelievable.

Lee Hyeong Taek, that piece of trash.

Do you know what he did...

to cut costs at the country club?

But now it turns out
he took it all for himself.

What a jerk.

He really is a piece of trash.

Did Lee Hyeong Taek
give back the million dollars?

Yes. The settlement was
handled with that money.

Thanks, Soon Young.

What? What are you thanking me for?

Well,

I'm just glad you're our friend.

It was nice to see you after all this time.

- Sure. - Here you go.

- Have your fill. - Thank you, ma'am.

- Thank you. - Applaud.

You're the best, ma'am.

By the way,

it feels weird to have tofu after
getting caught for embezzling.

Take that.

- Get chewing. - Keep chewing.

- Chew before you swallow. - It's good.

Cheers.

You didn't become a board member.

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Joo No.

We're running out of time.

Let's give up.

No. Begin as planned.

[Director Ha Tae Soo]

We're to strike while the iron is hot.

[Sanin]

Sir.

You should take a look at this.

What is it?

[Korea Securities Depository]

[Shareholder meeting notice]

Who sent this?

Anyway, we still have a little
over two billion dollars to go.

It's 2.5 billion dollars.

Right.

He'll sell this time,
right? Or will he acquire?

Can't Mr. Yoon get the
money from somewhere?

We're with the Audit Team...

and will be confiscating evidence.

I take it this is Mr. Yoon Joo No's desk?

What on earth are you doing?

- What is this? Stop this instant. - Wait.

Stand aside.

Legally, this is...

We are operating in accordance
with Articles 27 and 29...

of Sanin's company bylaws...

to collect evidence related to
the charges of ill*gal trading...

against the M and A Team's
team manager, Yoon Joo No.

What happened?

You are being audited.

On what grounds?

You're accused of ill*gal trading
using unreleased inside information.

[Internal Audit Notification]

[ill*gal trading using
unreleased inside information]

[As of October 29, 2024]

[Team Manager Yoon Joo No
will be suspended from his duties.]

I'm being accused...

of manipulating the market.

[The Art of Negotiation]

[JUMBO Pharma]

Have you heard of JUMBO Pharma?

He only came back to keep this hidden.

When working in M and A,

you're constantly tempted.

Are you suspecting me?

Mr. Yoon, this isn't true, is it?

You're Yoon Joo No's brother, right?

Help me out this once.

Or this will ruin me.

Mr. Yoon won't be able
to get out of this one.

There's clear-cut evidence.

Do you trust him?

To what extent do you
think it is connected?

You're also admitting that you own...

JUMBO Pharma's shares.

Yes.
