Reborn Rich (The Youngest Son of a Conglomerate / Jaebeoljip Mangnaeadeul / 재벌집 막내아들)

(The characters, institutions, companies, events, geographical names, and specific countries in this drama are not related to reality.)

Anyone who sends a false tip to the prosecution...

is charged with obstruction of justice.

What's the settlement cost for next month...

from the businesses in the department store?

- 140 billion won, ma'am. - Make them into postdated checks.

- Sorry? - I'm going to invest...

those 140 billion won into New Data Technology.

CEO Jin, that's the department store's...

I am Soonyang Department Store,

and Soonyang Department Store is me!

What's going on? That is Director Im's voice.

- Director Im? Why? - I have no idea.

Can anyone reach Director Im right now?

This recording was sent to the Prosecutors' Office...

by Ms. Im Myeong Sook, the former director of finance.

That was your voice, right?

So she secretly recorded our conversations?

Since when?

I believe this proves that you are indeed guilty of embezzlement.

The false tip didn't come from Miracle.

It came from you, Ms. Jin.

As for Ms. Jin,

I'm afraid she'll be investigated for embezzlement.

Did you say the prosecutors obtained evidence...

from one of the directors at the department store?

I apologize, sir.

When a dog bites its master,

whose fault is it?

Try all you want. 5 years? 10 years?

No. Even if I have to rot in prison for 50 years,

I will not hand over my shares to you.

Then I guess you'll end up rotting in prison,

and the department store stock will become worthless.

If you fail to pay off the promissory notes this month,

the department store will go bankrupt.

Then the creditors and banks will be the ones...

liquidating the subsidiaries that are of any worth.

If the group even had to lose its subsidiaries because of you,

do you think Grandfather would accept you back?

Thanks to you, Uncle Chang Je's political career would be over too.

Do you think he'll have you back?

This is your last chance. Hand over your shares.

Then I'll let you keep your dignity...

as Chairman Jin Yang Cheol's only daughter.

The prosecutors making you pose in front of the cameras...

I do not want Grandfather to see that.

Hey, why me? Why Soonyang Department Store?

I have never wronged you in any way!

You taught me.

Don't you dare delude yourself into thinking...

that you can be a rightful heir.

You guys...

are different...

from us.

That I'd never be the rightful heir to Soonyang.

Then I should buy it.

Like this.

It's an honor, sir. Please allow me to escort you.

I heard you made my one and only daughter...

cry her eyes out...

so you could make this department store all yours.

But seeing how you hired a management specialist...

Why? Do you not feel confident about running it after all?

This furniture boutique's sales...

rose by 380 percent.

We believe it's because people are finally...

getting married and moving now that the economy is improving.

All right.

Since you joined us, this furniture boutique...

has become one of the best-performing shops.

Have you set the sales goal for next year?

What's the goal?

Various indexes that directly affect furniture sales,

such as the country's birthrate and marriage rate,

keep on dropping every year.

We should be as conservative as possible when setting the goal...

Do Jun, you should get this CEO of yours a pair of reading glasses.

I guess his eyesight is bad. He can see one thing...

but not the other.

Pardon me?

Even if the population were to decrease,

the number of single-person households will continue to rise.

At the moment, we struggle to sell a couch to each household.

Soon, we'll be able to sell a couch for each room.

What's your problem? Do you not want to earn money?

I should've been more thoughtful, sir.

Please forgive me.

Get your calculations right. Once you have set the sales target,

submit it to me.

Yes, sir.

How would you face your wife...

if you got fired before your contract was up?

As for Ms. Jin... It's not only circumstantial.

We have firm evidence that she committed embezzlement.

Yet you want me to wrap it up as a case of non-indictment?

What's the problem? She paid back what she had embezzled.

- Sir. - Prosecutor Seo.

You're young. Keep up with the trends, will you?

The ability to think flexibly is important in the 21st century.

I always thought it was such a shame that we were settling...

for a punishment-focused justice system.

It's about time the prosecution...

contributed to paving the way for reconciliation and forgiveness.

While she lost 140 billion won due to a speculative investment,

a total of 37 businesses went bankrupt,

and 946 people lost their jobs.

Has she compensated the victims for their suffering?

Reconciliation and forgiveness?

Forcing the victims to forgive.

Do you call that restorative justice?

Aren't you doing this because you wish to reconcile with Soonyang?

Look, Prosecutor Seo Min Yeong.

Prosecutors have the right to prosecute crimes.

I'd like to exercise my rights and indict Ms. Jin.

Please help me, sir.

Darn it.

This is why I don't like working with women.

Hey, I bet you don't know...

why female prosecutors never get the key positions.

You never served in the army,

so you don't know how to work in an organization.

Article Seven of the Prosecutors' Office Act.

The Principle of Identity of Public Prosecutors. Don't you know?

"Obey any order of your superiors."

Just do as I say, you little brat!

I should get going.

- Grandfather. - Yes, I'm fine.

- Are you all right? - I'm totally fine.

- Here, have some water. - What? Okay, thanks.

Hey, take a seat.

Okay.

Keep this to yourself, Do Jun.

The doctors at the medical center wanted to run some tests on me,

so I took some X-rays.

What did the results say? Are you undergoing treatment?

For others, only their organs show up on their X-rays.

But below my chest, I have three things...

that others don't have.

Here resides my greed for money.

Here lies my distrust of those who work for me.

And down here...

is where you'd find...

my ability...

to betray anyone,

anytime.

You see,

I grew Soonyang to what it is today with those three things.

Did you say you wanted to buy Soonyang?

You won't be able to,

if all you've got is what everyone else has.

Let them...

do the work.

But...

never trust them.

Hwa Young ended up in that mess because she trusted her employees.

Do not trust anyone.

Do not open up to anyone.

If you do, it'll end up...

becoming nothing but your weakness.

You little rascal.

I'm off.

Then I may distrust you...

and betray you too, Grandfather.

Will that be okay?

Do Jun.

Do you think...

I trust you?

Oh, dear.

The case has been reassigned to a different prosecutor.

It's obvious.

You're a woman of principle.

You'd never blindly obey Chief,

so I bet this was the only way.

I know you worked hard on the case.

I'm sorry this happened.

This means I won't have to work late for a while. This is great.

Well, since we have nothing to do today,

why don't we leave right on the dot for once?

Like other civil servants.

Bye, I'm off.

Let's meet up.

You knew from the get-go.

That I wouldn't be able to indict Jin Hwa Young...

and that I'd have no choice but to let it go.

I had never once heard from you...

until you suddenly showed up and tipped me off.

From beginning to end,

you used me.

You knew from the get-go...

that I didn't tip you off for the sake of law and order.

- Hey, that's... - "Let me use..."

"a third-generation heir to realize justice."

That's what you said. Don't you remember?

Hey, why... You really do have a way with words.

Do you take special lessons?

Do you take special lessons?

You're quite eloquent.

It is you.

The Seo Min Yeong I know.
