"The great promise as the greatest leader and what could become one of the greatest tycoons in the world has just fallen! Kim Dong-hae has just resigned from his position as vice president of his family's company, Kim's CO. Many people were really taken by surprise, not expecting something like this to happen, since there was not the slightest sign that he was going through serious problems in the management of the family business. Kim's company is a huge conglomerate dominating the most diverse sectors, but it stands out in the real estate and technology fields..."

Kim Dong-hae was the rising star in the real estate industry, considered by many to be one of the greatest visionaries of the last ten years in relating engineering and economic and ecological sustainability.

With his eccentric manner and flashy style, he was definitely a man who was highly respected wherever he went, being the main option to take over the family business as a whole, controlling the entire fortune and all decisions of the subsidiaries under the Kim's label.

It seemed more than natural for him to assume power over the family as a whole and control everything.

Well, it's not like the family had a good history with the children they had.

The eldest was a doctor and although he didn't cause any problems, he didn't do anything else, he was snobbish and lazy.

After he got a good position at the hospital where he did everything else, he left it to his subordinates who were nothing more than poor souls who were still in medical school.

Kim Dong-hae, needless to say, was in chaos.

He was involved in scandals of embezzlement, prostitution and human trafficking.

A walking trash who unfortunately still had arms and legs.

There was also Nari... Nari was a problem, no one knew for sure where she was or what she was doing.

At one point she went out to study and when she came home she was so addicted to drugs that she was sent out of the country so as not to create problems for the family's image.

The other one... Well, the other one was just the other one, he had no history and many just said that he was an undercover cop out there and his identity could not be revealed, so let's leave it as it is.

Now we have the last one among all the children of the Kim family: Kim Eunji.

Eunji was also the only one who had not been adopted, all the others at some stage in life... It could be when they were barely able to walk or when they were already talking their first words.

Who knows how long she would have her own thoughts. It doesn't matter.

The daughter who was born from the womb and who shared the same blood was only Eunji.

This always meant that there was some kind of privilege in relation to the other siblings.

No, it wasn't like water and oil, it was more like water and wine.

They could still mix, but they wouldn't be the same things and much less would they have the same properties.

They would still be two distinct things, but they somehow mixed together and managed to engage in a brief dance.

Of course, most of the Kim family's children had their heads in the right place, or at least made some effort to pretend that they did.

They had been educated not to lose everything, they had a lot to lose.

Money, fame, power and respect.

All of this was very important in the world where they lived and inhabited.

And in this kind of place, parasites were not welcome.

Well, with the fall of Donghae, it seemed more like an ordinary day.

The employees couldn't care less, he was just the handsome guy with a huge tattoo who walked up and down leaving cigarette ashes on the floor.

But there would still be crazy people willing to accept the highest position in that huge circus of horrors.

You would have to be crazy, or bordering on crazy, to accept the highest position in a company on the verge of bankruptcy, but some had more to prove to the world than others and so some crazy people were born.

When you have a lot to say, then make any small height your stage.

Eunji wasn't so interested in trying to save the company from bankruptcy, that would just be the consequence of some good work.

After all, putting a recent graduate in such a high position was just accepting imminent defeat.

"... After almost 20 years of dominating the market, this is the first time that the Kim's conglomerate has faced such a major crisis. The company's stock price is already showing signs of depreciation and the forecast is that it will close the day down..."

The television was abruptly turned off... What can you say?!

That was the beginning of chaos within that company.

Well, chaos might be an exaggeration, for some nothing would change.

The cook would continue to make the same meals on the same days, the people who took care of the cleaning would always wait until the end of the day to be able to clean the huge building without any problems.

There would be changes for those who gave orders or not.

Changes for those who obeyed? Maybe just one: go look for a job somewhere else, we are cutting costs.

That's it.

A man was stuffing some Miyeok Guk with kimchi into his mouth, he was paying attention to the report until his friend who for some reason had the remote control turned off the television without further ado.

The other man was not interested in this waste of time. That should give him indigestion.

"Aish! Don't you want to know what's going to happen? They're talking about our company!"

The man just threw his chopsticks carelessly and felt a little wronged.

"We work hard every day and this bastard is smiling while he has handcuffs on his wrists, why should I be interested in someone like that?!"

Well, you could imagine that people would be running around and papers were being destroyed in droves while the shredding machines were working at full power.

Stupidity, there was nothing exciting happening, it was just another normal day with the president being arrested.

The reality might not have been so exciting, the television was turned off because it was disturbing the employees during their lunch break, but there were still those who complained.

Kim Donghae was so handsome, with muscular arms and a really perfect face.

He looked like he was made by the gods themselves.

An evil god, but still a god.

Especially women felt a little sorry to know that they could no longer see the beautiful Donghae among the corridors and elevators.

He had a wonderful perfume.

His posture?! So masculine.

It really went well with the lion tattooed on his forearm.

The day was really calm, it didn't even seem like the president's office was about to be set on fire by the shareholders.

All those who could decide something were in an uproar.

Of course, those who just followed orders ate their lunch calmly without any major concerns;

It was lunch time for the employees who worked for Kim's companies, the whispers and gossip had been constant since the morning of that same day when the news broke that Kim Donghae would be leaving the company.

Initially it was just silly rumors that seemed completely harmless, but as the morning went on and more things were discovered, they could only wonder who was involved in all of this.

Look around and your teammate, the one who sits next to you every day, could be one of those people who worked cowardly, stealing the fruits of other people's labor.

It's not even a question of robbing a rich person, but rather helping a rich person become even richer.

But when the unthinkable happened, those concrete walls could barely withstand the anxiety for news.

Would Donghae walk out the front door? Handcuffed? Who else should be arrested with him? Or maybe he would be arrested in a moment of leisure, while he was taking a dip in the pool...

The most deluded women could only imagine a sculptural body, wet and with drops of water running down a marked abdomen.

But none of that happened, he just went to the police station to give a statement and just left the company or his father would probably kill him if he didn't.

Everyone was furious.

The press got the inside scoop on Kim Donghae's resignation from one of their sources within the police, but this only fueled their hatred for journalists even more.

They were more like vultures after rotten meat.

It wasn't much different within the company either... One day for one, who tells another and another and another, before you know it the news has already spread to the four corners of the company and what can be done about it?! Nothing.

There wasn't even any damage to be contained, are you going to fire everyone who is spreading these stories?! So there will be no employees.

But yes, news travels fast, especially when it involves your boss.

Initially when Kim Dong-hae officially submitted his resignation from the position of vice president, the stories about his involvement in corruption and prostitution schemes had not yet spread.

So there were many rumors and hearsay emerging in a brief attempt to explain the sudden departure of the powerful man... Could he be going to a bigger company?! Or maybe a new branch abroad... Or maybe he was opening his own company to compete with his own family for the market.

Well, none of that was true, it was all stupidity.

If everyone knew how much he hated having to write and deliver a resignation letter, most likely all the rumors would have ended instantly.

Kim's CO is one of the most important companies in the most diverse sectors... At some point, they needed to expand and they couldn't just focus on one thing. But it all started in the real estate industry in Seoul and its influence spread throughout Korea and parts of Asia with houses and buildings built quickly and with a really satisfactory quality.

Basically, they started with housing complexes that people who were on the verge of starvation could afford, including working to build their own house.

When you think about it seriously, you understand that it's not something that should be done, playing with dreams and especially with hunger, but at the time the mentality was different and everyone just thought it was a unique opportunity to get some work experience or even work.

Of course, having a house also helped a lot.

Can't stop at the house? Then pay for it by building it and all the others around it.

Well, Dong-hae is the second son of five, being the second oldest son.

The only one who was interested enough in money to want to take care of the family business.

What about women?! Leave them aside, they're women, they just bring trouble.

So everyone thought as they watched Donghae's sudden success in the company's management, he really was doing well.

Honestly. He was just doing very well in masking how much he was stealing and diverting money to secondary accounts in tax havens.

He stole from the family company since the first day he worked there.

The family's history wasn't that long, it was a company in its second generation, being the founder and majority boss of everything that involved the Kim family.

Kim Do-yun was the father and president, as the majority shareholder he still ruled the company.

Well. Even though he now knew that his idiot son had done little more than get in the way, he had to not only publicly apologize... Which in itself was already a huge embarrassment, but he had to beg his youngest daughter to take over the business.

Doyun was about to retire, he had even thrown a farewell party, so there was no way to prolong this for more than a few weeks and maybe a few months.

Eunji had serious problems with many things and her family was probably the biggest problem of all. Long story short.

She only agreed to participate in this scoundrel business if she could take care of everything the way she saw fit.

After all, it wasn't the family conglomerate that was at risk, but rather the larger company that took care of the real estate sector.

The family would continue to be rich and dominant in other markets, so although they didn't like the idea of ​​losing money, they had already accepted that the company was doomed to close its doors within a few months.
