Reborn Rookie (신입사원 강회장)

I told President Kang Jae Seong

to confess to the slush fund charges.

The company was in a constant financial crisis.

I couldn't let him line his pockets, so I told him to turn himself in.

So he planned the kidnapping?

Do you have any evidence

that President Kang Jae Seong created the C&T slush fund?

The Audit Team, ordered by Managing Director Lee Sang Jae,

investigated the slush funds at both C&T and Chemical.

How far along are we with that investigation I ordered?

Where are those files now?

They were all destroyed on the Chairman's orders.

Really? So they're completely unrecoverable?

You must think I'm a pushover, Team Leader Jo.

I apologize.

I wasn't going to use it. I'll destroy it right now.

Restore it.

Just the C&T data.

Permanently delete the files from the Chemical division.

If you can just prove that you're truly on my team,

then a future as a department head

is something I can definitely promise you.

These are files from Choiseong's internal audit.

It seems he used Song Nam Hun, the missing C&T managing director,

to create the slush fund.

That should be a good place for you to start digging.

Why are you dragging my innocent wife into this?

The investigation will tell us.

It's an unwritten rule to hide money with the wife or her family first.

Where's Director Song Nam Hun,

the one you've thrown away after using?

I'm telling you, that jerk stabbed me in the back too!

Circumstantial evidence for the slush fund keeps popping up.

And the Audit Team's files are surprisingly detailed.

- You're not walking out so easily. - But that's...

It was a setup by Kang Jae Gyeong.

She fabricated evidence and bought off the media!

And you people too. You're all being played!

Why are you taking it this far?

It's because you two provoked me. So why are you surprised?

Kang Jae Gyeong!

Hey, are you okay?

- What? What is it? - Well...

No, it's nothing.

Did his heart rate just spike during the treatment?

Chairman, where are you right now?

Let me go!

Let go!

("Kang Jae Seong's Tough Leadership Takes World by Storm")

Are you holding up okay?

Bang Geul was worried about you.

That kid

might wake up soon.

Nurse Song says his treatment is going well.

Does that mean you'll be returning to your own body soon, Chairman?

I'm not sure, but we should be able to help each other out.

It seems the head of the Audit Team,

restored the deleted files at President Kang Jae Gyeong's behest.

- I've failed you. - Why? It's not your fault.

Jae Gyeong is the one to blame.

Lift your head.

- You're here, Mother. - How's Jae Gyeong?

Just some minor scrapes and bruises.

I'm more worried that Il Jun's mom seems determined

to blow this whole thing out of proportion.

My husband...

Are you sure he's getting better?

Yes, his brainwave therapy results look good,

and his vitals are stable. There's reason to be hopeful.

Please, just keep doing everything you can.

Professor Min, you need to see this.

Okay.

Hey.

He's your family. Do you really want to press criminal charges?

Do you believe the kidnapping was premeditated?

President Kang, please give us a statement!

She's here to see the Chairman and will be leaving.

We ask for your cooperation.

How bad are your injuries? Are they serious?

Please, just give us a statement!

This is a hospital! What do you all think you're doing?

Choiseong will soon

release an official statement.

On behalf of my family,

and for the mistakes they have made,

I once again offer my sincerest apology.

That will be all.

- Make way. - Make way.

Pay more attention when briefing the reporters.

Tell them I almost had brain damage.

And that I need more tests and have to be monitored.

I already told you. There's nothing wrong with you.

Well, there has to be

if I'm going to put Kang Jae Seong away.

Honey!

Are you really going to have your brother arrested?

You should be mad at Kang Jae Seong, not me.

So you'd just let the man who kidnapped your wife walk free?

If you do the crime, you do the time.

So

don't you dare cross me.

Your sabbatical is coming up, isn't it?

Take it early and go to the US with Il Jun.

- All of a sudden? - You saw what just happened.

Things are about to get even messier.

It's clear you and Il Jun will get caught in the crossfire.

Come back when things have calmed down.

But what about your father's treatment?

What treatment?

Does he need treatment for something?

No, that's not what I meant.

Secretary Yeo arranged everything. Just leave.

Don't worry about my father.

I've set up a new medical team through the hospital director.

Wait, honey...

- Hello? - How dare you involve my daughter?

You don't want to make an enemy out of me.

The prosecution's questions won't harm her reputation.

You're the one

who should've honored the boundaries between our families.

I want you to make my daughter the president of C&T.

Both Kang Bang Geul and Kang Jae Seong...

I will get rid of them for you.

Sorry I'm a little late.

Looks like the conversation went well.

I'll deal with Choiseong, Kang Jae Seong, and Kang Bang Geul.

Do you think I've held off on Taeha because I have nothing on them?

Now,

are we clear on where Taeha stands?

You need to make sure he wakes up. It's your responsibility.

We're running out of time to stop Jae Gyeong.

Yes, Mother.

What did Kang Jae Gyeong do to make you pull a stunt like this?

I'm sorry, sir.

- I had no other choice. - Listen to me.

I'm Choiseong's acting chairman now. With just one word from me,

I can have you fired for fabricating company secrets.

Chemical's slush fund files that you deleted...

Restore them all.

Use every last resource on the network,

and recover the evidence against Kang Jae Gyeong.

- Got it? - Well, sir...

We might get some of it back,

but a full restoration is impossible without more specific data.

I need the twin presidents' fund data you put in the safe.

(Choiseong Group Special Internal Audit Report)

(Deleted document recovery, Enter document number)

(Recovering, Awaiting system kernel response)

What's going on?

I think we triggered the security system.

- What do we do, sir? - What?

What are you two doing in here at this hour?

- Well... - It's all right. You can tell me.

The security team will protect you from now on.

Managing Director Lee threatened me to plant

fake slush fund data for Chemical on the servers.

When I refused,

he said he'd fire me as acting chair.

Team Leader Jo!

- Fake data? - Yes. Here.

No!

- No! - Here it is.

(Special Internal Audit Report, Choiseong Chemical's Slush Fund)

With President Kang Jae Seong out of the picture,

all you had to do was get rid of me.

You thought Choiseong would be all yours?

Take him to the Audit Team. Confiscate his cell phone.

You'll only contact the Audit Team, and only with my permission.

Of course, you'll have to step down as Acting Chairman, won't you?

Jae Gyeong, you can't do this.

Kang Jae Gyeong.

Hey, Kang Jae Gyeong!

Call an emergency meeting.

Tell the Strategy and Planning Team their attendance is mandatory.

(Lee Sang Jae, Managing Director, Strategy and Planning Team)

As if C&T Corporation's slush fund and financial crisis weren't enough,

now there are rumors of impending bankruptcy.

In a critical situation like this,

he tried to seize power

by attempting to fabricate data on the Chemical slush fund.

I will not overlook Managing Director Lee's vile act.

Managing Director Lee isn't the type to do something like that.

- Isn't this a misunderstanding? - This is all

the result of you being manipulated by deceitful Managing Director Lee.

This mess happened because you all delayed succession without a plan.

You gave too much power to someone who owns no shares in this company.

If it's not his company, why would he ever try to protect it?

Aren't you the one who blew this up when it could be handled internally?

Can you say Choiseong Chemical is totally clean regarding slush funds?

Stop with the emotional accusations,

and bring me proof.

Team Leader Kang, with the trust of Managing Director Lee Sang Jae.

As the team leader of the Strategy and Planning Team,

how will you take responsibility?

Do you even have a solution?

- Well... - You boldly snagged a position,

but what good are you in a real crisis?
