Hello, Me! (안녕? 나야!)

EPISODE 14

JOA CONFECTIONERY

PERSONNEL RESTRUCTURING PROPOSAL

We'll now begin the voting process for the personnel restructuring

that's been added to the agenda.

I vote against…

the restructuring.

What?

How dare you interrupt this meeting.

Chairman Han Ji-man would never agree to such a disgraceful decision

that'll result in the employees being forcibly pushed out

just for the sake of cost-cutting.

Being the chairman's son

doesn't give you the right to cause mayhem at a meeting.

Don't just stand there and escort him out.

-Chairman Han? -Sir?

That'll be all for today's board meeting.

You're all dismissed.

Here you go.

Here's the proposal for our consumer compensation plan.

We'll proceed once you approve.

Sure.

I'll go over the details with Mr. Kim

and sign the document.

You should head back to the office first.

Sure.

I'll get going then.

Tell me what's in this envelope.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

You'll be transferring all your shares to Director Yang.

I see.

Do-yun probably had no other choice.

He couldn't possibly make an enemy out of his mom.

What the hell is going on?

What are you doing here?

Damn it.

You're supposed to be on a business trip. Why are you here?

I knew you weren't taking my calls for a reason.

-You wanted to rest this badly? -You…

Why on earth are you here?

-How did you know? -I didn't want to get fired.

Are you restructuring the company

because I'm close to paying back the debt?

Restructuring? What are you talking about?

The company took a weird turn ever since you went away on a break.

You can't fire me, you know.

You're not making any sense.

Restructuring? That's absurd.

This look doesn't suit you at all, so let's head back to the office.

Yu-hyeon.

I'm afraid my eyes--

I know!

So what if you have poor vision?

You have me, you know.

This is when you should make use of your healthy son,

Han Yu-hyeon.

Ji-suk.

You're done running the show as you please.

No.

You're wrong.

I'm willing to do anything it takes for Joa Confectionery.

And what you see as the best option for the company

is firing our hard-working employees?

They are also the rightful owners of this company as much as we are.

Rightful owners?

It's your unrealistic ideals

that made you this way.

This is a company we're running.

Our job is to increase sales and profit for our shareholders.

What's so bad about

They're just replaceable cogs in the corporate machine.

What's wrong with firing them?

For the first time, I'm glad to have lost my vision.

At least I don't have to actually see the monster you've turned into.

How the hell did this happen?

How did he turn up here with Yu-hyeon?

When the hell did his secretary switch sides again?

-Please calm down. -Calm down?

You told me to do better,

but what have you done to help?

How did you let it get this far?

-It's actually better this way. -What?

Both sides will fight with all cards on the table.

There was a limit to your method anyway.

Did you really believe that you could

take over a company of this size with lies and tricks?

Are you blaming me for what happened?

Of course not.

All I'm saying is that our fight has started now.

Officially, this time.

Have you been under a lot of stress lately?

Yes, there were some incidents.

Is there perhaps an issue?

The fetus is smaller than the average size.

Then, what should I do?

Please be wary not to stress yourself

and try to relax.

The baby can only be happy if the mother is.

Right.

OBGYN CLINIC

Isn't it fascinating?

-I see its hands. -Where?

-Right here. -Are these the hands?

-Yes. -I see. How fascinating.

The sharp nose must take after yours.

-You think? -Yes.

It's more like yours.

Don't worry, Ms. Bahn.

Sorry?

It's probably just a groundless rumor.

The company can't fire you for no reason

while your contract is valid.

Right. Thank you for saying that.

Sure.

I just don't feel like coming to work these days.

What's gotten into you all?

We should all try to hang in there.

Let's go grab some lunch.

Maybe that'll give us a surge of energy.

Sure, let's go.

By the way, Ok-ju's been away from her desk for a while.

She went to a friend of hers in HR

to ask about Ha-ni's contract.

Just in case there is a way.

Big news, guys!

What's the fuss about?

The restructuring was scrapped…

I mean, it was taken off the table completely.

Why all of a sudden?

The board was going to approve it,

but the chairman's son made an entrance along with the chairman himself

-and canceled the vote. -Hold on a second.

The chairman's son? I thought he wasn't interested in the company.

Isn't that man with the chairman his son?

Hold on. Isn't that one of the kitchen employees?

Yes, it is. The one who made the tteokbokki!

-What? -No way. Seriously?

What the hell?

Come on. Let's take a look.

Even if I don't turn out to be who you thought I was,

don't be too shocked.

-What? -Let's go.

Thanks. I've been an immature brat all this time,

but you and Aunt taught me about the real world.

I'm glad to have helped.

Do-yun.

-I'm back from the ob-gyn. -We'll talk later.

I see you really had no idea about who Yu-hyeon is.

No.

I didn't know you were part of his extended family either.

So tell me.

How do you know Yu-hyeon?

You even entered the contest together,

so it didn't seem like you were just acquaintances.

He was someone that I was thankful for,

made me get butterflies,

and someone I could lean on at times.

But I don't know anymore.

I didn't even know who he really was.

This revelation must have upset you.

So…

what exactly is going on at the company?

I'd love

nothing more than to tell you everything that's been going on.

But…

I can't since it's also a family matter.

Right, of course.

I don't know what to do either.

I'm frustrated

and heartbroken.

But you need to regain your strength.

For your baby's sake, right?

Ha-ni, do you remember

what we used to do to blow off steam

whenever life got too frustrating?

How about a short round after we get off work?

What?

-Your love is what I only need to be happy -Your love is what I only need to be happy

-Always… -Always…

Here.

Gosh, it's so good.

It's so good.

I had no idea I'd be back here with you.

Tell me about it. This is great.

-Isn't it delicious? -It sure is.

-Should we buy some to-go? -Why not?

You have some on your face.

Old lady!

Are you back from work?

Yes. And you?

You're not giving Mom and Ha-yeong a hard time, right?

Of course not.

This place is really nice.

The house is huge, and Mom…

She cooks me delicious food.

And I got myself a minion.

Thank you.

I'm doing well, so don't worry.

Just come visit when you have time.

Okay.
