Six years ago, Kyung-Chul is drunk on the street in The Ordinary Jackpot episode 5. Eun-Tae and Seon-Hyuk call a taxi for Kyung-Chul. Kyung-Chul leaves. Eun-Tae complains it to Seon-Hyuk that they spent 30 minutes to send the guy off. Seon-Hyuk says it’s much faster than before. Kyung-Chul used to sleep on the ground. Eun-Tae asks Seon-Hyuk will he turn out that way if he becomes a team leader? Seon-Hyuk asks Eun-Tae will he take him home after he becomes a team leader?
Eun-Tae says he will do so tonight. Seon-Hyuk takes Eun-Tae to buy two lottery tickets. He gives one ticket to him. He says he would buy lottery tickets as long as he saw lottery ticket stores. Eun-Tae knew he wouldn’t win so that he had no hope. Seon-Hyuk tells Eun-Tae that it’s fine no matter he wins or not. He thinks the moment becomes more meaningful. Work is always the same, life is boring. Buy a lottery ticket can give meaning to time.
Eun-Tae thinks Seon-Hyuk is quite romantic. Seon-Hyuk asks Eun-Tae not to fall for him. There’re 8 billion people in the world. What are the odds that they will meet? He doesn’t know about it. But the odds of winning the lottery are one in eight million. It means the odds are about the same. Since they have met, who says they won’t win the jackpot? If Eun-Tae wins, they split it evenly.
At present, Seon-Hyuk arrives at Hongsung International. He guesses everyone came because of him. Kyung-Chul guesses Seon-Hyuk ran over to apologize after he got into trouble. Seon-Hyuk asks Kyung-Chul will he be fine as long as he apologizes? Kyung-Chul says it’s impossible. Seon-Hyuk asks Kyung-Chul should he take the seat and wait to be fired?
Kyung-Chul thinks Seon-Hyuk doesn’t deserve to be a team leader. If he knew he was someone like that, he wouldn’t promote him. He asks him to explain his action. He understands why he wants to rob their partners. He was there when they signed with Mantua. Therefore, it can be said that he deserves credit. But if he wants to leave, he leaves alone. Why did he dig their employees?
Seon-Hyuk says if Hongsung is a better company, they would choose to stay. On the contrary, they would leave with him. He cannot force others to leave with him. The decision is up to them. Kyung-Chul responds to Seon-Hyuk rationally. Does he think he resigned like that and Hongsung won’t fight it back? Seon-Hyuk takes out his employee ID. He says he has worked for Hongsung over a decade. He would stay if he could get the job done without having to resign.
If any employee at Hongsung wants to leave with him, that’s because they feel the same way. To be honest, Hongsung isn’t nice to employees. He plans to do something that Hongsung couldn’t do. Kyung-Chul asks Seon-Hyuk does he think he’s different? He couldn’t lead his team. Why does he think he can start a company that’s nice to employees? Seon-Hyuk says he will prove it.
But Kyung-Chul tells Seon-Hyuk that their line of work isn’t an ocean, but a stream. Does he think his company can survive? He worries about him. Seon-Hyuk thanks Kyung-Chul for his caring. But he came to ask him not to blame the employees who he dug. Because they did nothing wrong. He leaves the meeting room.
On the roof, Hae-Joo realizes the reason why Kyung-Chul came to Legal Team. He wanted to check Seon-Hyuk’s contract to confirm Non-Compete Agreement. It’s legally binding, but it’s difficult to implement. This is an awkward lawsuit, and there’s no guarantee that he can win. The longer the trial drags on, the more it works against Seon-Hyuk.
Hyun-Sook came one week ago. She asked the same question. It seems she doesn’t plan to give up on that. What Seon-Hyuk did will harm Hongsung’s interests. Senior Management is even more terrifying than Eun-Tae imagined. But Hyun-Sook didn’t let Legal Team take action. Because if they do it, Audit Team will also get involved. She doesn’t want to make a big deal out of it. Seon-Hyuk considered it when he made plans. Hae-Joo isn’t sure if the guy is smart or he’s poor. Eun-Tae says no matter what the ending is, he wants to support the guy. But he forces him to have to drop the flower ball, and pull out his sword to fight.
Eun-Tae returns to the office. He tells his team members that they’re going to do the Shoe Store. He did something crazy. Jun-Ho complains it to Eun-Tae that he should have told it to him early. Hyang-Eun asks Eun-Tae do they have enough staff to take care of Laknes and the shoe store? He says many people will help them. The actual workload isn’t that heavy. Jun-Ho asks Eun-Tae do they do that for Seon-Hyuk? Eun-Tae denies it. He says they do that because Hongsung needs them. Hyang-Eun asks him what’s the budget?
In Kyung-Chul’s office, Kyung-Chul tells Eun-Tae that the budget is three million euros. It’s just the first order. It can reach ten million euros in the future. He asks him is it enough to convince Mantua? Eun-Tae thinks the numbers make sense. But he worries that the people of Mantua won’t be that reasonable. Kyung-Chul worries that Eun-Tae is too close to Seon-Hyuk. Eun-Tae reminds Kyung-Chul that it’s his idea. Kyung-Chul knows it. But he also knows Eun-Tae doesn’t want to take over the job. If he cannot make a deal with the budget, that will be a real headache for them.
Eun-Tae arrives at the warehouse when the team members are working. Hyang-Eun thinks he doesn’t have to come. They can complete it on their own. He says Laknes will open tomorrow. They need to have the last meeting. Ji-Hye tells him that apply the barcode is the last job.
Eun-Tae gets a call from Sponza. He tells him that he’s going to come to Italy. Sponza hangs up. He tells the guy that Eun-Tae will bring quite a few chips. The guy asks Sponza not to take his share.
The next day, Eun-Tae and his team members move the goods into the department store. Director Cha and her women begin to sell. The crazy customers want the products of Laknes very much. Eun-Tae and his team members are very happy after they saw it.
Sponza calls Seon-Hyuk when Seon-Hyuk meets the client at his company. Seon-Hyuk asks Sponza where is the merchandise? Sponza explains that the people at the warehouse got the schedule mixed up. He promises Seon-Hyuk that they will ship within one week. He will inform him after he arranges the time. Hongsung called. They want to come in person.
On the roof at Hongsung International, Gi-Tae hands over the coffee to Eun-Tae. Eun-Tae asks Gi-Tae did he rest well? Gi-Tae says he rested enough. Eun-Tae tells Gi-Tae that he needs to go to Italy with him. He thinks he should go on a business trip to learn something. He learns that it’s his first time to go to Italy. He thinks it’s a bit of a shame. Although he goes to Italy, he cannot enjoy Italy.
Eun-Tae and Gi-Tae arrive at Mantua in Italy. Gi-Tae asks Eun-Tae why did he take him to go on the business trip? Eun-Tae asks Gi-Tae not to be so surprised if he visits a warehouse in Italy in the future. Sponza shows up. Eun-Tae says he misses the coffee here. He knows Sponza is doing business with Seon-Hyuk. If Sponza can cancel the deal, they will be deeply grateful. Seon-Hyuk tried to dig their employees. Sponza thinks what the guy did isn’t right. If he did it in Italy, he would be shot.
Sponza says he cannot cancel the deal. Because the goods are ready. Seon-Hyuk may use their name to win over retail merchants. It will harm their reputation. He understands Hongsung’s position. But it’s too late to cancel the deal.
Eun-Tae tells Sponza that they’re going to open a shoe store. They want to let Mantua be in charge of supplying goods. Sponza learns why Eun-Tae is so confident. It’s a big deal so that he asks them to take the risk to breach the contract. Sponza receives the offer. He goes to cancel the deal. But he tells Eun-Tae that there’s a problem.
Seon-Hyuk is at his company. He’s told that he won’t receive his goods. He’s anxious to call Sponza. But the guy doesn’t pick up his phone. Sponza takes Eun-Tae and Gi-Tae to go to see Emilio. Emilio claims that he doesn’t want to cancel the deal. Eun-Tae wants to know the reason. He thinks he can help Emilio. Emilio says the products in the goods were designed by his daughter. He’s not a good father after he divorced her mother. It’s the first order that she received. The product is sunglasses. The total order amount is 900,000 euros.
Eun-Tae spends an extra 900,000 euros. He calls Jun-Ho. He asks him to prepare the report. He tells Gi-Tae that he wants to do it his way. He thinks he will be fired.
Eun-Tae and Gi-Tae return to Korea in the evening. Gi-Tae tells Eun-Tae that he learned a lot from the business trip. He thanks him, and he bows to him. Eun-Tae thinks Gi-Tae is like him. He gets in the taxi.
Eun-Tae finds Seon-Hyuk at his company. Seon-Hyuk is very discouraged. Eun-Tae thinks Seon-Hyuk shouldn’t be frustrated because of the little thing. Seon-Hyuk drinks with Eun-Tae. He doesn’t expect that Hongsung went to such extremes. Eun-Tae asks Seon-Hyuk is he blaming him? Seon-Hyuk shakes his head. He says he’s blaming himself. He was the one who take Eun-Tae to Mantua. Eun-Tae’s eyes widened when he saw the warehouse. Seon-Hyuk taught the clueless rookie everything. But he treats him that way.
Eun-Tae mentions Seon-Hyuk told him that he shouldn’t have been too surprised in the warehouse. Seon-Hyuk asks Eun-Tae does he think he deserves the treatment even if he went too far? Eun-Tae confesses it to Seon-Hyuk that the shoe store was his idea. Hongsung agreed. He asks him will he buy the goods from them? It will be a little more expensive. He cannot make a deal with Mantua anymore. He must buy it from Hongsung if he wants to buy their goods. The goods are on the way. They will come to Hongsung to sign the contract this week. Eun-Tae will convince those guys. Seon-Hyuk asks Eun-Tae does he want to give him a way out. Eun-Tae leaves Seon-Hyuk’s office. Seon-Hyuk laughs.
The next day, Hyun-Sook walks into the meeting room. She asks Eun-Tae to explain it. He says someone didn’t want to cancel the deal with Seon-Hyuk. He doesn’t want to ruin Seon-Hyuk. He thinks nobody wants to do that. The goods Seon-Hyuk ordered will be included in the company sales. At the same time, it can warn the people who resign in an unusual way. He thinks this is good for everyone.
Hyun-Sook mentions Eun-Tae went 30 percent over budget. She asks him does he think he did it right? She threatens him that she won’t sign it. He says he has represented the company and made the deal. He believes that it’s the best outcome. She thinks she made a mistake to send him to Mantua. Any orders his team places must be reported directly to her. She tells him that Seon-Hyuk won’t thank him.
