Thankfully, she managed to beat it and showed the CEO how strong she was. Ryu Shi Oh then told her that it was part of a test for her new responsibility in the company.
Of course, Nam Soon knew that Ryu Shi Oh might abuse her powers for evil and didn't mention to him that it was an inborn skill.
As for Kang Hee Shik, he was terrified that the mission would put Nam Soon in danger, so he gave her a device to protect her, and that included a camera monitored by him and his teammate.
At the special meeting, Ryu Shi Oh introduced Nam Soon to one of the board members of Geum Ju Group, Heritage Club's Madam Kim.
In a private room, Madam Kim offered Nam Soon a drink and teased her that she should handle a strong liquor because he worked for the Doogo CEO.
However, Nam Soon suddenly choked and collapsed, which made Madam Kim burst into laughter. She said that the drink would cause Nam to be paralyzed for three hours, but knowing her, she popped right back and mentioned that poison didn't work for her and knew that it was another test from the CEO.
Based on Hee Shik's investigation, the woman and Ryu Shi Oh were part of a Russian mafia group called Pavel.
Interestingly, because Nam Soon was their undercover agent, the police got a hold of their confidential client list.
