01x08 - Episode 8

[bunniefuu]

Then please do tell me about it tomorrow.

A solution to save DADO Resort.

Ms. Song.

Selling DADO Resort is one
of the options we're considering.

And?

I was wondering if you were aware.

Yes.

But that doesn't matter...

because...

I won't...

sell it.

I see.

Everyone,

good night.

What was that tension?

Her smile was terrifying.

[Episode 8: Opportunity Cost]

That'll be 360 dollars.

Sure.

- Thank you. - The pleasure was mine.

Goodness.

I hope the food is to your liking.

It is.

And you, Director?

Anyway, Director Ha,

I heard you had something to say.

As if Sanin would have any
other requests for Samoel Fund.

I was just wondering
about an additional loan.

I see.

And here I thought...

you were going to apologize
for botching our last deal.

Oh, that!

Didn't I already apologize regarding that?

- I'm so sorry. Goodness. - Gosh.

That's just business. It's
not like we suffered a loss.

I'm grateful you see it that way.

That's the thing with strategic moves.

A 1 out of 3 success rate
would be considered a win.

A hitter who bats 300 would
be the team's star player.

How much are you asking for?

Well, not much.

About 55 big ones.

I see.

That's easily doable,

but on what terms?

The interest rate should
at least be two digits.

Since I feel bad about
how our last deal went down,

I'll suggest ten percent...

with Sanin's stocks as collateral.

What do you say?

- But, Director Ha, - Yes?

Are you aware that Sanin
has already borrowed...

three billion dollars from us?

Of course.

However, an additional 55 million...

won't make much of a difference.

It does.

Someone who borrowed
three billion dollars from us...

is asking for an additional 55 million.

If this means Sanin
doesn't even have 55 million,

could it pay back the three billion?

That's what I'm getting.

Come on.

What do you take Sanin for?

It feels shaky from where
we stand, Director Ha.

All right, fine.

I guess I forgot to explain.

So here's what happened.

I don't know why chairmen...

all want to own a resort of their own.

- A resort? - Yes.

Our chairman came across one he liked.

He must've wanted it badly...

because he took out a loan...

with his stocks as collateral to
buy it before anyone else could.

- His Sanin stocks? - That's right.

My gosh.

The loan matures in less than a month,

but he only just told me.

Who handled the deal? Mr. Yoon?

As if Joo No is on that kind of level.

He took it out through his secretaries.

But what would secretaries know?

They had the chairman sign a contract...

- that was designed for pushovers.
- Oh, dear.

He should've come to you instead.

He was embarrassed, that's why.

There are talks about Sanin going under,

so how could he openly
say he's buying a resort?

Which resort is it?

I'm afraid I don't know its name.

Anyway, that's why he took out a loan.

It has nothing to do with the company.

Then,

we'll agree on 15 percent.

Fifteen?

I believe that to be reasonable,

but the chairman is one stubborn man.

I'll have to go back to the
office and see where we stand.

Don't push it if it isn't manageable.

That's not what I'm saying.

You know how much I like Samoel Fund.

Goodness.

We value Sanin too.

Pay for dinner with this.

It shouldn't be the other way around.

Come on.

I already paid for the meal.

Okay, fine.

I'll head back to the office
and get that number confirmed.

You know I'm not in a position...

to control Sanin how I like it just yet.

Please be understanding of that.

Would it benefit us if you become CEO?

Of course.

I give you my word right here, right now.

The chairman is in his final years now.

His judgment isn't what it once was.

Is that so?

That's right.

Why else would he have bought a resort...

when the company is suffering?

Are we allowed to move forward
without the chairman's approval?

Of course not.

Since we're here,

we should still inspect the facility.

Right.

Ms. Song is just as curious.

What's your take on it?

There's a clear concept.

The interior design,
amenities, and the view.

It checks all the boxes.

The issue is...

it hasn't been turning a profit...

since Ms. Song took over.

The main reason for that...

is that the resort was modified
to fit her style and needs.

To be a profitable hotel,

it has to meet certain conditions,

but DADO failed to do so...

since it was modified to CEO Song's liking.

That's why it's now called a resort.

It's to fit the resort's
therapeutic concept,

but not having any neighbouring
commercial businesses...

or source of entertainment is a downside.

I'll have to go over the contract to see...

if the commission needs adjusting.

As for the interior design,
the flooring is uneven rocks...

with wood being the main material.

They all require frequent maintenance.

Which will result in cost.

- Yes. - To be honest,

this place isn't run to make a profit.

It stands to entertain
a chairman's daughter.

- Is that so? - Yes.

All conglomerate owners buy a resort...

as they would purchase a designer purse.

They modify it to their liking...

and chalk it up as
something unique and grand.

So the issue lies with
her ability to run it?

Yes.

On top of that, Room 123
which is occupied by CEO Song...

has never been booked by others.

The resort itself is like a
luxurious doll house of hers.

Would anyone be willing to buy this?

It has been on the radar
of one particular place.

Which is?

DOLPHIN Hotel.

It's only five minutes away from here...

and is hoping to obtain DADO Resort...

so that they could run
it as a premium hotel.

How much are they offering?

Director Kang handled the negotiations,

and the offer was 50
million dollars at the time.

Since you're negotiating,

you'd be able to at least get 55 million.

Do you think Mr. Yoon
is some kind of con artist?

He should at least get 60 million.

However,

the deal was unilaterally
broken by one party.

By whom?

CEO Song Ji O.

Then, it all boils down to
whether or not we can...

persuade her.

Welcome.

- Director Ha. - Mr. Park.

Have a seat.

What brought you to my neighbourhood?

How else?

I was passing by when I thought of you.

- Aren't you pleased to see me?
- Of course I am.

Goodness.

Thank you.

- Please enjoy. - Thanks.

Thank you.

Accept this from me first...

- but don't drink it. - Sure.

- We should at least say cheers. - Right.

There.

I have to say I'm a bit upset, Mr. Park.

Sorry? Then...

It's not because you're
not drinking with me.

I'm not some old fogy.

I've always been a lightweight.

Come on. That's not what I meant.

Then why...

I mean,

if there was an issue with the chairman,

you should've come to me for advice.

After all, I'm Sanin's CFO.

The chairman said it was top secret.

Not anymore, it's not.

So tell me the details.

Sorry?

You probably know the chairman
pit me against Yoon Joo No.

As if he's any match of mine.

Isn't Yoon Joo No lower in rank than you?

Right.

All that I can tell you is...

Sure. Do tell.

We're in urgent need
of the 55 million dollars.

What about the resort? Won't he sell it?

That will never happen.

That 55 million dollars...

which is due within one month.

Taking out a loan of that size isn't easy.

Not many would agree to it...

even at a high interest rate.

That's what I've been told.

Does the chairman know
how challenging this is?

He gave the secretaries...

an earful over this matter.

Then the chairman must
be more accepting now.

If you solve this matter,

it will be of huge help to the chairman.

Goodness.

- My car's over there.
- I appreciate the meal.

As if you must thank me.

We'll have something better next time.

Sure. Should I call you a cab?

- Gosh, no. I called for a driver.
- I see. Then...

- Sure. - Good night.

Yes, Director Ha.

Hello, there. Mr. David.

You know how you agreed...

to approve that loan of 55 million dollars.

At an interest rate of 15 percent.

Yes, 15 percent.

I'll agree to that term.

I see.

Did the chairman approve?

I'll have him approve of it.

But how about this?

Can you suggest it be 18 percent?

That'll make my job easier.

I see.

I understand what you
mean and will do just that.

I'd love to give you a
straight and direct answer,

but I don't have that power just yet.

Tell me about it. The
sooner you're CEO, the better.

Goodness.

Anyway, please write up a
proposal like we just talked about.

- Sure. - Right. Thank you.

Mr. CEO, you called for a driver, right?

They call anyone a CEO these days.

Didn't you call?

May I...

Go on.

Rather than calling us all the time,

wouldn't it be better to be admitted?

Tell me about it.

Allow me.

Thank you.

- Good morning, Ms. Kwak.
- Right. Good morning.

- Here's your menu. - Right. Thank you.

You got up on time.

Attorney Oh woke me up
insisting we had to have breakfast.

Come on. Of course you
should have breakfast.

It's free since it's already been paid for.

I barely got to eat anything for dinner...

and the lunch course only
served a tiny amount of food.

I'm starving.

That reminds me. Won't Mr. Yoon join us?

Mr. Yoon, aren't you having breakfast?

I'm not.

I hear the morning scenery
from that oreum is priceless.

Would you...

I hope you're not asking me to join you.

Of course not. Enjoy your breakfast.

Sure.

Hello.

This is Lee Seung Soo, the
manager at DADO Resort.

I had something to report.

Sure. What...

I think we have guests
here who are from Sanin.

What?

As in who?

I don't know his name,

but he's someone who leaves an impression.

We'd jump at the chance
if DADO Resort is for sale.

But,

is it true?

Is the CEO...

willing to sell?

We're still talking to her.

Come on.

We'll talk once she's on board.

We're considering DOLPHIN...

as the one to acquire DADO.

If you're not interested,

we won't have any need to
persuade the CEO of DADO.

We're here to ask where DOLPHIN stands.

I said we'd jump at the chance.

However,

I'll be embarrassed once again...

if the deal falls through
at the last second...

like last time.

Allow me to apologize for that.

As for the reason the
negotiation fell through last time,

I owe you an explanation.

It had nothing to do with you.

It was due to DADO CEO's
personal circumstances.

Well, I understand the CEO had a situation.

Then may I go ahead and
assume that you're still interested...

in buying DADO Resort,

sir?

DADO Resort's reputation
of being number one in Jeju...

makes it valuable enough.

What's the point?

It's not profitable.

Isn't it in the red?

That's why it's a good
opportunity for DOLPHIN.

Buying a business that
isn't even profitable?

How's that a good opportunity?

DADO Resort is in the red at the moment,

so we want to sell it cheap.

If you choose not to buy it,

Sanin Group will run the resort.

If that happens,

the resort will start
turning a profit in no time.

The group will do a full-scale
promotion of the resort...

and sign an MOU to
offer all Sanin employees...

a promotional package.

- An MOU? - Yes.

If we run a promotion...

where all Sanin employees get a discount,

the sales numbers will double.

Then...

DADO certainly won't agree to
sell the resort at the current price.

Running resorts is what you're best at.

So as for DADO Resort being in the red,

it shouldn't really be a
problem for you, right?

Well...

I sure can run it well.

Exactly.

That's why I said it'd be a
good opportunity for you.

So...

how much?

How much are you thinking?

I believe I told you this last time too.

I can't go any higher
than 50 million dollars.

We'd have to persuade
the CEO of DADO Resort,

so I'm afraid we can't patch up...

and reinitiate the
once-failed negotiation...

if the offer is still the same, sir.

Fifty-five million?

Sixty million would be our minimum.

Then...

that thing you mentioned earlier.

The promotional MOU with Sanin Group.

I want my hotel to get that deal too.

All Sanin employees will get a discount...

at our resort,

and Sanin will reimburse us...

for 50 percent of the discounted amount.

Would you mind if I discussed
this with my team for a moment?

Not at all. Go for it.

Sixty million dollars...

will be enough to cover
the repair costs too.

As for the MOU deal, we'll
have to review the details.

It's a nice hotel too.

I think Sanin employees will be happy...

to get a discount at this hotel.

But...

do you really think Sanin will run it?

That, we don't know.

You see, this...

Are they just fishing for info
when Sanin will run it anyway?

I think that's what they're doing.

They'll sell it if it's high enough.
Otherwise, they'll call it off.

Now, I'm annoyed.

What?

Well, so?

Have you made your decision?

Yes.

- Sir. - Yes.

Have a seat.

- So? - Samoel will issue the loan.

Oh, my.

They'll send the money tomorrow if
you sign the agreement right away.

- Well done. - Thank you.

What are the terms and conditions?

Yes, it's...

You'll have to pay it back in


Eighteen percent?

Does that make sense to you?

I know, it doesn't.

I already told them
that it was unacceptable.

Bring it down.

Yes.

The thing is, sir.

We've already borrowed
three billion dollars, so...

Director Ha.

It's not like we got that money for free.

We make our interest payments on time.

Ask them to bring it down.

Yes, sir.

Sir, I'll try to talk to them to
bring it down to 15 percent.

Fifteen percent?

Are you kidding me?

Do you think I'm stupid?

No, sir.

So can you do it or not?

I can, sir.

Yes, you can do it.

Look at this view.

- Director Ha. - Yes, sir.

- Is this your first time here? - Pardon?

Oh, no.

You gave me a tour once a while back.

You probably don't remember
it as it was a while ago.

I see.

Not many people know about this place.

Right.

Come often.

It's boring to listen to
this music all by myself.

I will, sir.

- Get going. - Yes, sir.

All right, then.

Sir.

They're negotiating to sell
the resort in Jeju right now.

That fool! Has he lost his mind?

Why did you let him go there?

Tell him to come back at once.

Make him write a resignation letter!

- Bring it to me in person. - Yes, sir.

Goodness. That punk is really crazy.

How could he...

Sir. Hey!

You see, Mr. Yoon.

We've done some thinking too.

I really like the people in Sanin Group.

But the thing is,

you did this last time and ghosted us.

That made me look stupid.

I assure you that won't happen again.

That said,

get the MOU signed,

and we'll talk again.

Got it. We will talk again.

This isn't easy.

They suffered last time, you know.

Forget 60 million.

Can't we just tell them we'd
settle at 55 million dollars?

No, then this deal is over.

Why?

We've already lost their trust.

If we suddenly bring the
price down for no reason,

they really won't trust us anymore.

It'll make us look like...

a group of scammers
trying to get 60 million...

for something that's worth 55 million.

I mean, unless we can come up
with a reason for the price drop.

Right, I see.

At this point, I think the MOU
is more important than the price.

Yes, I agree.

Yes, sir.

Chairman Song has collapsed.

I think he found out
about you going to Jeju.

Is he all right now?

Come back right away.

Yes, I will.

What's the matter?

Was it the office?

It looks like we'll have to
write our resignation letters.

What?

[Mom]

How did he find out about us coming here?

Some DADO Resort employees...

must be in contact with
the secretary's office.

[Unread Messages, Mom]

Come home tomorrow. We need to talk.

I can't. I'm away on a work trip now.

Do you really need a car?

Does that mean we have
to go back to Seoul now?

Yes, I think so.

I'll hand in my resignation and
make sure you guys won't have to,

so don't worry too much.

Today's been paid for already anyway.

Can't we just leave tomorrow?

I know, right? This
place is very expensive.

It's the weekend, so the
company can't make us come back.

I mean, legally.

Yes, you are right.
Legally, they can't do that.

Right, Mr. Yoon?

Yes, let's do that.

- Did you bring it? - Yes.

Sir, may I come in for a moment?

Yes.

Here's your robe.

Okay.

Let me.

Oh, boy.

Tell them I'm going home tomorrow.

I feel fine.

They're still waiting for
the test results, though.

I suggest you wait to hear about
the results before you go home.

Okay.

- And you. - Yes, sir.

- About my fainting spell. - Yes.

Make sure no one hears about it.

- Yes, I already took care of it. - Good.

You brought the contract yourself
when you could've just emailed it.

Yes, I wanted to talk to you about it.

Let's see...

What is it?

They wrote ten percent
for the interest rate.

Goodness.

It's 15 percent.

Please take a seat for a moment.

Something happened, you see.

Listen.

Chairman Song collapsed.

- Pardon? - It's nothing too serious.

He went to the hospital right away...

and is in stable condition now.

Okay, so?

Well...

Chairman Song collapsed,

so I couldn't bring up
the increased interest rate.

Please understand.

Do you need more time to talk to him, then?

I'll be honest with you.

Before Chairman Song collapsed,

he said 15 percent was just not doable.

Is that why he collapsed?

No, it's not that.

It was Yoon Joo No's
fault that he collapsed.

You see, Yoon Joo No...

went to Jeju Island...

to sell his resort behind his back.

Chairman Song said he'd never sell it.

What is that punk thinking?

So? Did he sell it?

No!

Chairman Song...

gave that resort to his daughter.

But Yoon Joo No is trying to sell it,

so Chairman Song got
fuming mad and collapsed.

Goodness.

Well, Director Ha.

We'll need to discuss this too.

- Oh, sure. - Give us one moment.

That can't be a lie, can it?

No.

When he lies, it shows.

They can no longer sell
the resort to pay it back.

They have no choice but to borrow money.

So, technically,

we're all Sanin has now.

That is true,

but if Chairman Song has health
issues, Sanin's stock will plummet.

This has been fixed,

but you'll probably have
to get a new one soon.

Take a soft drink and leave.

Let's not do this.

Why not?

He said Chairman Song
collapsed. It could be risky.

But that could end up
becoming an opportunity for us.

How?

- Sorry to keep you waiting. - No problem.

We...

want more shares, then.

Pardon?

Well...

You said Chairman Song
collapsed. It makes us anxious.

Who knows what could happen
to Sanin if he passes away?

Well, how many shares?

Double it?

Come on. That's too much.

Sanin Group is a huge enterprise.

It won't go bankrupt.

We're not asking for real shares.

Just as collateral.

If Sanin is that stable like you said,

then you have no reason to
turn down this offer. Am I wrong?

Besides, we're doing
this to help you out here.

If you don't like it, you can
simply turn down the offer.

No.

I'll accept it.

It'll be ten percent, right?

The ceiling is high.

I know you wouldn't like this,

but can't Sanin take over that resort?

With that money, the
chairman can settle his debt.

That's paying the chairman's
personal debt using Sanin's money.

Even so, the resort will belong to Sainin.

As Chairman Song has
given the resort to his daughter,

it'll cause a greater problem.

It can fall under...

malpractice or unlawful gifting.

I'm well aware of it.

But that's the only way...

you can survive.

I understand what you're saying.

But I can't help but believe that was...

the chairman's original plan all along.

Hence why...

I suggested selling the resort.

Right.

Then write your resignation letter.

Yes?

Are you ignoring my calls now?

I was working.

What work? It's the weekend.

Are you even lying now?

I'm not lying. I'm on a business trip.

Whatever. Do you really need your car?

No.

I don't. You can take it.

That means you'll give
it to Sang Hoon, right?

Yes.

I don't need a car anymore.

Because I don't need to go to work now.

I'm quitting my job.

Are you acting up because
I asked to borrow your car?

No.

I got fired. That's all.

So take the car.

Goodness gracious.

Does making me flip out
every day make you happy?

Mom.

What kind of life do you want me to live?

I want you to be well-off.

I would never hope for a poor life.

Don't miss work, okay?

But I got fired...

I'm sorry.

I had no intention of eavesdropping.

Are you okay?

Yes.

Min Jeong.

Min Jeong. You can have this.

After all, I got your top ruined.

No. I'm okay.

I think it'll look great on you.

How come? I don't think I can wear it.

Wear it in my stead. Please?

No. I'm okay.

Then have a cup of tea with me.

You must hate me a
little, Min Jeong. Am I right?

No, I don't.

Didn't you get fired because of me?

No. The fault lies with our team,

not you, Ms. Song.

Call me Ji O, not Ms. Song.

Didn't you call me Ji O yesterday?

All right.

I bet you won't call me that ever again.

Min Jeong.

You're that kind of person.

You don't say "no,"

but you don't say "yes" either.

Here's what I'm like.

If everyone says "yes,"

I do too.

I don't think anyone would
say "no" to you, Ms. Song.

That's not true.

"No" is the only thing my dad says to me.

That's why I could never
live the life I wanted.

But it looks like you are
living the life you want.

Is that so?

The life I want...

is to live here.

Not just anyone can live a life like yours.

Really?

Yes.

You may not...

really know the life of an ordinary person.

I envy...

how bright...

you are...

all the time.

True.

I like being bright.

It means there's hope.

Do you also need hope, Ms. Song?

You already own a lot.

Do I?

Yes.

You have more than enough.

A random person can't live
in such a place their entire life.

You're right.

You can't live here forever.

Please excuse me first.

What?

Stay a little longer.

I'll let you in on a secret.

See that?

You can't say "no," but
you can't say "yes" either.

Are you actually leaving?

Can't you go after finishing your tea?

Ms. Song.

Some people in the
world don't have any hope.

Sorry?

- Let me help. - No, it's okay.

Are you leaving?

No. You can't go.

How can you leave?
Weren't you going to give me...

DADO's check-up report?

I was waiting for it, you know?

Ms. Song.

We've given up on selling DADO Resort.

Don't let it bother you anymore.

Does that mean you're no longer
interested in DADO's health?

Here's an advanced development strategy...

for the DADO Resort business.

First off, our team's evaluation of
DADO Resort came out excellent.

I see.

Most of the resort's evaluation
list received top ratings.

One team member...

said it was the best resort they stayed at.

Was it you, Min Jeong?

- No. - The con is...

the course menu is good,
but the portion is too small.

You can ignore this part.

The room evaluations
were also very positive.

However,

the problem is the resort
not making any profit.

Don't worry about that.

All I wish is for the people
in DADO to be happy.

That's all that matters.
The profit means nothing.

But...

If you continue to operate with a loss,

you might have to close DADO.

We can close when that time comes.

Then,

will you be firing the employees?

Sorry?

You said you wanted...

the people in DADO to be happy.

Are employees included in those people?

What?

Then what must I do?

You can leave it to a
management specialist.

I can't do that.

I can't entrust my beloved
DADO to someone else.

Sanin Group can...

No.

The chairman can give you some help.

He's right.

My apologies.

Don't worry.

Does...

this conclude DADO's check-up report?

By the way, Ms. Song.

Are you okay?

Why do you ask?

Do I look strange to you?

Yes.

Chairman Song. How do you feel?

Goodness.

That's not a question the
doctor should ask the patient.

There's nothing much to worry about.

But it's best to reduce
the amount of stress.

Work from stress was called
an illness from pent-up anger.

I heard there was no medicine for it.

You lost consciousness...

due to a vasovagal syncope.

When you get stressed out or such,

- the blood vessel expands... - Enough.

In short, you're telling me I'm old. Right?

No, Chairman Song.

Your body functioned how it should.

You lost consciousness...

because not enough blood
was flowing to your brain.

Your body reacted...

by lying down to send more blood to it.

It was a natural response to survive.

So I fainted to live.

Yes. That's the body's instinct.

Let us get your blood pressure.

Go ahead.

One's instinct is to live.

But why is my daughter going the other way?

Do I look strange to you?

Yes.

I can't help but wonder if you're unwell.

How come?

Was that the book you were reading...

when we first met?

["4am, The Desired Time to Live"]

Apparently, the writer...

wrote that book while fighting cancer.

And so, I also have cancer?

No.

Mr. Yoon...

Last night,

it seemed an ambulance came to the resort.

How did you know?

I sleep quite late.

That's how I saw it by coincidence.

You didn't have breakfast the next morning.

Nor did you go up the oreum.

And so I assumed...

that ambulance took you to the hospital.

Your reasoning is unbelievable.

I give credit to your reasoning.

But that's no decisive evidence.

Isn't that patch on your
arm a pain reliever?

You leave me no choice but to admit it.

Correct.

I have cancer.

But I...

underwent surgery.

That's a relief.

Although it relapsed.

What should I do with my daughter?

Your daughter must have another operation,

even if it's tough.

If not, she's only neglecting the cancer.

I can't do a thing when she's
stubborn about not getting it.

It's not me getting the surgery.

It's hers.

Is she not moving from Jeju Island?

No.

She wants...

to die there.

When did you get here?

A while ago.

Did you hear it all?

It wasn't intentional.

I see.

That resort.

She told me to sell it after she dies.

Her cancer is back,

but she's refusing surgery.

She wants to die...

in that resort.

That nasty girl.

I had no idea.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

It has to do with my daughter.

That's why I can't sell DADO.

I made up my mind to die here.

The doctor told me...

I was simply unlucky.

In short, I have bad luck.

But my dad is quite rich, isn't he?

That makes me lucky,
which evens everything out.

With that in mind, I got the surgery.

But the cancer came back.

Overall, I'm an unlucky
girl. Don't you agree?

I thought I shouldn't
leave my death to fate.

I travelled around...

until I met DADO.

I was very lucky.

Shouldn't you get the second surgery?

Even if I do, the probability
of me surviving is 50 percent.

And nobody knows how
much longer I'll live for.

What if you don't get the surgery?

What's this?

Do you want me to get the second surgery?

I knew it.

You don't say no, but
you don't say yes either.

You've never gotten
surgery for cancer, right?

It's really painful, you know.

I thought death would be less painful.

But here's the thing.

Even if the surgery is successful,

I wouldn't be able to live like this.

But without the surgery,

I'll probably die.

But what if I were to die...

in a place like this
after living a happy life?

Wouldn't that be
considered a good way to go?

Min Jeong. So you want
me to get the surgery, right?

What about you, Mr. Yoon?

Should I risk my life when
I have a 50-50 chance?

- I'm not sure. - What?

That's not the answer I was looking for.

But I will say that...

you do seem truly happy...

here in this resort.

That's an original answer.

Okay. Great.

This ends today's report.

Ms. Song.

I realized that I said some
things I shouldn't have.

No. You didn't know about
my situation, Min Jeong.

Even so,

I failed to think that you
had your own reasons too.

I'm sorry.

Then to make up for your mistake,

will you take the dress
I offered yesterday?

Pardon?

Yes? Or no?

My answer is yes.

What a pity. I was having
a good time in a while.

We had a good time too.

By the way, are things
that bad with my father?

He bought this resort
for his only daughter.

But you're here to sell it.

You don't seem like a bad person.

So I was wondering if
things were that bad with him.

Things are all right for now.

But there will be a problem later.

You sound just like my doctor.

Goodbye.

Ms. Song. Thank you for everything.

I left the dress in my room.

I thought about it.

But the dress would
suit you better than me.

If that's what you want to do,
there's nothing I can do then.

Take care.

We're on our way to
hand in our resignation.

But that seems so trivial now.

Right.

It makes me wonder
what's really important in life.

I wonder how she must feel right now.

She was so cheerful.

It never occurred to me
that she could be sick.

Min Jeong.

This isn't a fancy dress.

I bought it at a traditional market.

It looked pretty, so I bought it
on my way back from the hospital.

I think I might have missed
the season to wear this.

I might have to wait until
next year to wear this.

But I'm not sure if I'll still be around...

by then.

Okay. Thank you.

There's no pity in your
eyes when you look at me.

That's why I really like you.

But I was a bit of a bother, wasn't I?

No.

Is that why she was so cheerful?

To be honest, her
energy level threw me off.

Same here.

Actually, I wondered if she
was having a manic episode.

Because things were tough on her,

I guess she was trying to
smile as much as she could.

That sounds about right.

She said she hated it when
people gave her the sad look.

If people gave her the sad look,

it meant that she had no hope.

I would have felt the same way.

I hope you're back to full health, sir.

I am.

My gosh.

They want me to double the collateral?

Yes.

But you know, it is just collateral.

They will hold it temporarily.
We will get it back later.

You don't have to worry.

Come in.

Sir, Mr. Yoon Joo No is here.

Did you bring your resignation letter?

Yes.

All right.

So you know what you did wrong, correct?

I do.

Leave.

Was she happy?

Yes. She was happy there.

So what did you do there?

- I'll go and get it. - Get me my phone.

- Hey. - Dad.

Hey.

Yes. It's me. What is it?

It's about the resort.

Sell it.

Sell it?

You were going to sell it
anyway once I was gone.

But...

just sell it now.

Listen, Ji O.

I'm really sorry.

I won't sell the resort no matter what.

No. That's not what I'm saying.

You should really sell it.

Oh, right.

The dress.

Sorry to interrupt. Could
you finish this later?

Sure, Ms. Song.

Ms. Song. We'd like to
make another offer to you.

You can find the details
of our offer in the contract.

Whatever decision you make,

we will support your decision.

But I'd like to say one thing.

That this dress will look better on you.

I will come back to the resort next year...

to see you in this dress.

Thank you.

P.S.

Running the resort may not be
the best way to use your skills.

I'm sorry about that.

You really want me to sell it?

Yes.

I guess I'm not cut out to be the CEO.

Who said that to you?

My friend.

Oh, right.

I...

want to get the surgery.

You want to get the surgery.

Yes.

I'll do it.

I'll get the surgery.

Hopefully, I can do a better job with that.

The surgery...

will go well, right?

Of course.

The surgery will go
well. Don't worry about it.

Sell it.

Okay, Dad?

Yes.

Ji O.

Thank you.

Don't thank me.

Thank the people you sent.

Tell them I'm very grateful.

Sure thing.

As for the contract,

I want to stick to the contract
prepared by the people you sent.

Okay?

Don't change a word.

Okay.

Dad.

Nothing.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay. Sure.

I got it.

What happened?

The contract we offered to Ms. Song...

has a special clause.

A special clause.

Unit 123 of DADO Resort...

will be rented...

to Song Ji O without charge permanently.

When everyone is saying yes,

I'll say yes too.

However,

in the case of Song Ji O's death,

this clause will be invalidated.

It won't be invalidated.

Because I'm not going to die.

It is my understanding...

that she accepted our offer.

Yes.

Sir!

Secretary! The chairman has fainted.

I'm good.

It's just...

there was no blood pumping to my brain.

- So I just sat down. - Pardon?

- Are you all right, sir? - I'm fine.

I'm all right. Come on, cut it out.

I'm sitting down, so my body
can recover. I'm fine. Just go.

- I'm all right. You sit down. - But...

My goodness. Okay.

You know what?

I'm deeply indebted to you now.

- I'm calling from DOLPHIN Hotel.
- Yes. Hello, sir.

I wanted to check the
second special clause.

Please wait.

I see. The permanent rental
clause also ensures that...

as long as she's alive,

the promotion between Sanin
Group and your hotel will continue.

I see.

Okay. Let's do it then.

I must send Ms. Song some healthy food,

so she stays in good health.

Sure. Thank you.

How will I...

pay you back for this?

You.

Do you want to be a board member?

[The Art of Negotiation]

I have a country club in
North Chungcheong Province.

See if you can sell it.

The atmosphere in the
company has gotten intense lately.

You don't know who could
be next on the chopping block.

Gosh, look at these jerks.
They're trying to be clever.

Is your intention in buying
the country club to run it?

The company interested in buying
GREEN VIEW Country Club...

demands a change in the
CEO as part of their terms.

If he's getting dismissed
because he did a good job,

that's not fair. Is it?

Joo No.

Becoming a board member isn't easy.

There was a withdrawal of


The 100,000 dollars weren't accounted for.

I'm almost there too.

I'll be on the board.
