Reborn Rookie (신입사원 강회장)

I want you all to get along.

She's not Butler Jo anymore.

Call her Mother.

I hope we'll all get along, kids.

Look at this sweet little thing. She's so gentle.

She hasn't cried once.

That's enough, dear. Give her to me. What if the kids see?

What are you so worried about?

You need your own flesh and blood in this house to rely on.

I told you not to bring her here.

Why did you bring that thing here?

What do you mean, "that thing"?

- You're talking about your sister! - Honey, that's enough.

Jae Gyeong. You're back late. You must be hungry. Let's eat.

It's only been a year since my mother passed away.

This was your plan all along, wasn't it, Butler Jo?

Kang Jae Gyeong, watch your mouth!

Don't worry.

Don't worry. What you're afraid of won't happen.

I don't trust you.

Never.

Regarding Kang Jae Gyeong's inauguration as Chairman...

I object.

You finally got what you've wanted for 30 years.

How does it feel to stab me in the back?

Satisfying? A real rush?

Weren't you the one about to stab me in the back?

If I had made you Chairwoman,

you would've sent me and Bang Geul

to the US, right?

Let's just be honest with each other.

Is money the reason you're so desperate to stay with us?

And is that why you put on this little show today?

Just say it.

Name your price.

"Serving your father my whole life, I deserve this much."

What's the saying? "It pays to serve the rich"?

I'll be extra generous with your severance package, Butler Jo.

You're finally showing the evil stepmother side.

You know what? Maybe I am.

I thought I raised you and Jae Seong as if you were my own.

But now I see I didn't. I was easier on you than Bang Geul.

If Bang Geul ever acted like you, I would've punished her constantly.

I would've spent months teaching her right from wrong.

But...

I couldn't do that with you.

I was afraid I'd upset you,

or feel the slightest bit of pain, so I held back again and again.

But now I see...

I raised you all wrong.

I...

I'm too ashamed to face your father.

So? What are you going to do about it?

- And what can you possibly do? - I am the matriarch of this house.

Until your father gets back,

I'm going to start raising you,

Jae Seong, Il Jun, and I Jun properly.

Because that's what a mother does.

Darn it, will you stop with all this "mother" talk?

You're just a butler.

- Shameless thief after what's mine. - Lower your voice.

You want to be Chairwoman but can't even control your temper?

Say one more word,

and see what I'll do.

And what?

What are you going to do? Kill me?

Mom? My mom's in here, right?

Mom.

The Chairman's looking for you.

He wants to eat with you as it's been a while.

Let's go, Mom.

Are you all right, ma'am?

I'm fine.

Her daughter will pay for this tenfold anyway.

Gosh.

Are you okay?

You're not. I'll tell the Chairman dinner will have to be another time.

No, I'm fine.

I'll do whatever I can to help you.

I won't let you fight this battle alone.

Mom.

Do your best, sweetheart.

And if things get tough, you tell me.

I will.

That guy, Hwang Jun Hyeon...

We can really trust him, can't we?

So, Casey... No.

So you're saying Bang Geul is Chairman Kang's youngest daughter?

Yes.

Then does that make you and her half-siblings?

Gosh, Chairman Kang really got around, didn't he?

About that...

No, that's not it.

What do you mean, "that's not it"?

I'm saying we aren't half-siblings.

If you're not half-siblings, then what?

- You're not his son? - Well, no.

- Then you're not the Young Master? - Right.

So you've been lying to me this whole time?

"Lying" is a strong word. "I had no choice" sounds better.

Come on, we had a good thing going, didn't we?

Gosh! You darn con artist.

You said you were his son! That he was your father!

Does it matter if we're not related? I'm like a son to him.

You could say the Chairman and I are practically one and the same.

Gosh, you've got some nerve.

Weren't you guilty when I called you "Young Master" this whole time?

See? I told you not to make a big deal out of it.

All that "Young Master" business was you going overboard.

Hold on. If you're a soccer player, then none of this makes any sense.

- Who are you, really? - I don't know.

Who do you think I am?

Who do you think you're kidding with that cute act?

I'm telling you, stop acting cute.

Mr. Park, your office is that way.

- Why are you grabbing his collar? - You...

Right there.

- And that's how you tie a tie. - Thanks.

I'll head over now, Team Leader.

"Team Leader" rolls off your tongue. You're a pro at the corporate game.

The corporate game?

I'll teach you a thing or two about the corporate game.

Shall we?

Goodness.

What?

We're supposed to be the Chairman's elite Strategy and Planning Team,

and all we get is a desk, a chair, and one flower?

Well, it's a hurdle we were bound to face sooner or later.

What are you talking about?

Earning respect from every Choiseong employee

will be our team's first mission.

Our team's first project will be the new All-Solid-State Battery.

Let's make President Kang Jae Gyeong come begging to us.

Sounds good.

Team Leader,

if I've ever offended you, please, let's put it all behind us.

Oh, please. That's not necessary. Just be yourself, Mr. Park.

I'm sure you know this.

Even when you were an intern, I told everyone you were the best.

I always thought you were the best.

I look forward to working with you, Young Lady.

"Young Lady"? Please don't ever call me that.

"Young Lady"? You've really got some nerve.

I thought I was your top pick, Mr. Park.

Right now, I hate you more than anyone in the world.

This kid lied to me! He said he was the Chairman's son.

I didn't mean to disrespect you, Young Lady. This is...

Goodness, it's all your fault. You...

Actually, I asked him to do it.

- You did? - I wanted you on our side fast.

As for him being a brat, I'll whip him into shape.

- A brat? - But hey, he's competent, right?

Wasn't it Hwang Jun Hyeon's idea to scout you for our team?

- What? - When did I ever say that?

Gosh, my leg.

All right, let's all work hard together.

I'll do my very best, Young Lady.

- First, should we go get our stuff? - Sounds good!

Hey.

I'm sorry, honey.

It's all my fault.

I should have been more careful when I approached her.

Jae Gyeong threatened to pin it all about your father on you,

and that she would expose Director Song's slush fund.

I'm powerless. What was I supposed to do?

I was so scared, honey.

I told you, we did. Why all the questions today?

You should have just told me sooner.

I was trying to handle it on my own.

I really did it all for you.

I mean it.

You believe me, don't you, honey?

That Kang Jae Gyeong... I'm going there right now and...

If you go after her recklessly, you'll be the one to take the fall.

You'll end up just like me.

We have to get solid evidence before we make a move.

You saw what Butler Jo did, right?

She's trying to use her daughter to secure her place in the company.

Thanks to her, Jae Gyeong didn't become the Chairwoman,

which is a relief.

The real war starts now.

We can only trust our family,

so we have to rely on each other and stick together.

Do you know what I mean?

Of course.

You're right about everything.

Thank you.

Thank you, honey.

I just resolved things with him, so don't worry, Father.

But more importantly,

Lee Sang Jae just put the youngest of the Choiseong family in the game.

Okay, I'll see you later.

Father, please.

The wedding is all set. Why are you trying to ruin it?

You know she's the ace of Taeha Group, Father.

A career woman needs to work. She'll go stir-crazy stuck at home.

All we ask is a director position. Is that too much?

- Is this what you want? - Pardon?

I'm asking if you agree with what this fool is saying.

No, sir.
