This chapter opens with a discussion between the Chairman and his wife about their disappointment in the company's performance in the recent bidding for the contract to build a new hospital in Ulsan. The Chairman's wife, however, is more concerned about her husband's financial situation. She is worried about the fact that the company will not be able to compete with the likes of Samsung and Hyundai, and she is also worried about her own financial situation, as she has been planning to marry the Chairman.
