PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

EPISODE 14

I'm so touched.

-Give it back. -Why? No.

It's cold.

Why are you sleeping here? Go home.

I fell asleep.

I have a lot of things to prepare for.

-For the buyer in China? -Yes.

I've taken care of all their requests.

The contract will be renewed at the next meeting.

You're busy.

What's wrong?

Did something happen?

The old man

is dying?

A shareholder meeting will be held soon to appoint a new chairman.

He'll want Jang Geun-soo to be his successor.

So? You want to stop him from getting appointed?

Our ultimate goal is Chairman Jang's dismissal.

But how?

He's in good terms with two of the non-executive directors.

Right, Yang Sang-un and Shin U-je.

The board members and the CEO should never be too close.

As for Mr. Yang, he even manages Chairman Jang's borrowed-name stocks.

It provides enough grounds.

We'll remove Mr. Yang from the board and use that

to weaken Chairman Jang.

Will you be all right though?

Didn't you say Geun-soo used to work at DanBam?

Are you sure you want to go at him like this?

Mr. Park?

Geun-soo wouldn't expect me to be that considerate. The same goes for me.

Then who will replace Mr. Yang after we get him removed?

Saeroyi doesn't qualify because he's a CEO of a corporation.

Me.

But in most cases, renowned professors or public officials--

A business management specialist who can act as an advisor.

And as an inspector who can prevent the CEO's dogmatic decisions.

Isn't that what the board members do?

That's right.

Named as one of Asia's power businesswomen by Forbes.

The businesswoman who turned

a tiny pub into the company that is known as IC Co. today.

That's me.

-That's true. -Definitely.

It's just that you're too young.

Right, but she'd be perfect for the role.

She's extremely competent.

We've seen what she can do.

Let's go for it.

It'll go well, right?

Yes, there won't be any problems.

I said I support it,

but with the thing in China too...

Can you handle everything?

Do you have time to worry about that?

Well...

If you feel that bad,

grant me a wish.

What's your wish?

Please go on a date with me.

I told you not to cross the line.

It's my wish.

So is Chairman Jang

in the hospital now?

I'm not sure.

There hasn't been anything about it on the media yet,

but they can't keep it from the media forever.

People will start talking about it if he continues to miss work.

There's been an article about corruption allegations against Mr. Yang.

I read it.

I bet it was Park Saeroyi's doing.

What should we do?

We can't bury this.

I must oust Mr. Yang myself.

The important thing is,

who will take his seat?

As the new non-executive director.

I'll come up with a list of candidates who are in support of us.

Forget it.

Pardon?

I bet Park Saeroyi

is also thinking of someone who's in support of him,

so we will

vouch for someone who meets all the qualifications.

We'll fight fair and square.

Right.

Just one non-executive director can't affect the voting rights that much.

It'd be better for us to focus on protecting your public image.

Then proceed accordingly.

You seem to be

doing a little better.

-I'm not sure about that. -Punished by Heaven?

Who said you can do that?

You should be punished by me.

Don't die just yet.

I feel relieved

for a change.

I've seen this man before.

He and Ms. Kang are close.

I'll set up a meeting.

Him and this man too.

You should take a break. I'll go over the rest.

OH SOO-AH

Hello?

Today?

I'm pretty busy today. Can we meet another day?

Gosh, it's practically impossible to see you.

It's all right. I'll see you another time.

But call me, okay?

All right.

Was that Soo-ah?

Yes.

She wants to meet now?

Someone can't even go on a date because she has to work all night,

but look at you flirting with a girl on the phone.

Don't...

do that to me.

What?

Stop doing and saying things to show that you like me.

I clearly told you that I don't have any feelings for you.

I know.

Go ahead and meet her. I was going to do this alone anyway.

Why do I have to feel sorry for you?

What's with you all of a sudden? I'm fine, so just--

Why do you have to make me feel so uneasy?

Never mind.

Sorry. Just ignore what I just said. Don't go home too late.

Do you know why you feel that way?

What?

I guess you are starting

to have feelings for me.

-What are you-- -I know you better than anyone.

You finally

think of me as a woman.

We've settled things with the press.

How are we going to retrieve the stocks that are under Mr. Yang's name?

There's not that much.

Just let him have it.

He can use that to support us.

Yes, sir.

Chairman Jang fired Mr. Yang without hesitation.

What is he thinking?

Is Yi-seo getting ready?

Ms. Kang is helping her meet people.

To be honest, I'm a little worried.

About what?

We both know how competent she is.

But others will think of her as a kid.

Plus, Jangga Co. tends to be very conservative.

She'll do well.

How can you be so sure?

It's Yi-seo.

Welcome.

It's nice to meet you all.

You all know her, right? She's Jo Yi-seo, CFO of IC Co.

-This is-- -President of Sungyoon University.

Business professor at Gwangjin University. Former bureau chief of TJBC.

Former president of Mingu Bank. Did I get that right?

It's an honor to meet you all.

Nice to meet you.

She really is clever.

Thank you. Take your seats.

-Hello. -Hello, I'm Jo Yi-seo.

Hello, I'm President Jo. It's nice to meet you.

-I'm glad we got to meet today. -Same here.

Number one. Chicken vegetable tacos.

Number two. Broccoli and chicken wraps.

I look forward to working with you.

-See you at the stockholders' meeting. -Okay.

How many tables?

I think 14 will do.

Did you make sure to leave some space?

Gosh, of course.

Toni, you're a professional now.

It's been years already.

Yi-seo, your nose is bleeding.

You'll fall ill at this rate. You should get some rest today.

It's okay. I need to meet the stockholders soon.

Hey.

Are you ready? Shall we get going?

I just got a call from Mr. Kim.

And he asked for a raincheck because his wife went into labor.

Really?

It's actually for the better. You should get some rest today.

Geun-soo?

What are you doing here?

Are you here to meet the stockholders?

I'm sorry.

But I beat you to it.

I haven't seen that face in so long.

Have you been well?

Whatever.

The meeting agenda really surprised me.

I didn't know you would try to take that place.

I heard you worked overseas.

Are you back for the chairman position?

-What? -Your dad's going to...
