'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' has once again recorded its highest self-viewership ratings.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on the 8th, the fourth episode of the JTBC Saturday-Sunday drama 'New Employee Kang (Chairman)' (created by Kim Soon-ok, scripted by Hyun Jimin, directed by Ko Hye-jin), which aired on the 7th, achieved 8.1% in the Seoul metropolitan area and 8.2% nationwide (based on paid households), continuously breaking its own highest viewership record with each broadcast since its premiere. The peak viewership nationwide reached 8.8%.

In that day's broadcast, Hwang Jun-hyun (played by Lee Jun-young), possessed by the spirit of Kang Yong-ho (played by Son Hyun-joo), was shown leading his daughter Kang Jae-kyung (played by Jeon Hye-jin) to deliver a fatal blow to his son Kang Jae-seong's (played by Jin Goo) business.

Having successfully siphoned off Kang Jae-seong's slush funds alongside his youngest daughter Bang Geul (played by Lee Ju-myung), Hwang Jun-hyun (in the body of Kang Yong-ho) moved to recruit Park Bong-gi (played by Lee Sung-wook), the head of the Materials Division 2, as a new ally. This was because he had only recently realized that he had unfairly demoted Park Bong-gi, the ace of the audit team, in the past to cover up Kang Jae-seong's misconduct. Thereafter, Hwang Jun-hyun brought out the false premise that he was the hidden youngest son of the chairman and succeeded in winning over Park Bong-gi with his abundant charm and flawless logic.

With this, a new alliance consisting of Hwang Jun-hyun (in the body of Kang Yong-ho), Bang Geul, and Park Bong-gi was formed, while Choi Seong-mul-san (President) Kang Jae-seong found himself constantly occupied with dealing with the rocky obstacle of the disappearance of the executive who managed the slush funds. Throughout the board meeting, evaluations pointed out holes in personnel management, and criticisms continued that the success of the port project could not be trusted, leaving Kang Jae-seong in a more desperate situation than ever before.

Watching Kang Jae-seong struggle to manage the crisis, Hwang Jun-hyun came up with the strategy of using the enemy to check the enemy (yi-ji-je-i). Hwang Jun-hyun handed the project plan for the Gangwon-do port infrastructure construction project, which Bang Geul was about to present in an internship PT, to Choi Seong-hwa-hak (President) Kang Jae-kyung, provoking a direct showdown against Kang Jae-seong. He challenged Kang Jae-kyung, saying he would turn the plan into reality and dared her to take the bet.

Following that, with Kang Jae-kyung's permission and Park Bong-gi (Director)'s tacit approval, Hwang Jun-hyun, along with Bang Geul, traveled to Gangwon-do, contacted aides from the Gangwon-do governor's office, and meticulously explained the justification for the project. His passionate speech, highlighting the project's alignment with Gangwon-do's regional characteristics, its potential for large-scale job creation, and the positive possibility of investment review by Cho Sung-hwa Chemical, resonated well by properly aligning with the interests of a politician facing an election.

Meanwhile, in Seoul, Park Bong-gi demonstrated his hidden strength. After capturing Kang Jae-seong meeting with his in-laws, Taeha Group Na Byeong-mo (Chairman), and his 20-year friend, Mayor Yoon Cheon-si, Park Bong-gi immediately informed Hwang Jun-hyun. Following Hwang Jun-hyun's instructions, he uncovered the circumstances that Kang Jae-seong's slush funds were flowing into Mayor Yoon Cheon-si's election funds, thereby securing a decisive card to bring down Kang Jae-seong's business.

With all the cards in hand, Hwang Jun-hyun completed the board he had designed in front of Kang Jae-kyung. After the Gangwon-do governor's office gave a positive response to the project's promotion, Mayor Yoon Cheon-si declared his voluntary resignation following a blackmail phone call from Bang Geul, causing the project Kang Jae-seong was pushing to naturally fall into Kang Jae-kyung's hands. Furthermore, Kang Jae-kyung recognized Hwang Jun-hyun's abilities and scouted him to her side.

With all plans successfully concluded, he enjoyed a long-overdue leisure time driving his racing car, a hobby from his Hwang Jun-hyeon-eun (Chairman) days. But at that moment, Kang Jae-kyung appeared and turned the atmosphere around with the meaningful words, "You misjudged the person. Did you think I didn't know who you were?"

Meanwhile, Lee Jun-young is set to enlist in the army this year.
