In Love Scout episode 10, Kang Ji-yun found it difficult to accept that Yu Eun-ho was the one whom her father Kang Kyung-tae (Jo Wan-ki) saved during the fire incident. She told him that he should have never told her the truth, as she would not be able to feel at ease with him anymore.

In Love Scout episode 10, Kang Ji-yun and Yu Eun-ho were walking on eggshells while keeping their interactions minimal. Kang Ji-yun went for drinks with Seo Mi-ae (Lee Sang-hee) and told her about Yu Eun-ho. Seo Mi-ae suggested that she should continue to date him and try to not resent her father anymore.
Seo Mi-ae called Yu Eun-ho to pick up Kang Ji-yun as she was drunk. Kang Ji-yun learned that Yu Eun-ho survived and continued to hold on whenever he felt like giving up because of her father. Kang Kyung-tae's words helped Yu Eun-ho become a better person.

Furthermore, she went public about her romance with Yu Eun-ho at work, leaving the employees in shock.

Love Scout episode 11 began with reporters waiting for Kang Ji-yun outside her office. This is because Kang Ji-yun and Park Yeong-min gave her equity shares of Econic Bio instead of monetary payment. The police seized the work at Peoplez and took all the documents under a search warrant, as Kang Ji-yun was suspected of being Park Yeong-min’s accomplice.
Kang Ji-yun reassured her employees that she was unaware of the fraud and told them to work from home while waiting for the results of the investigation. She spent the night at Yu Eun-ho's place with Yu Byeol as the victims of the investment fraud came to her house to create a scene.
Meanwhile, in Love Scout episode 11, Woo Jeong-hoon confronted his father, and Chairman Woo Chul-yong believed he was behind it, but Chairman Woo denied it. Woo Jeong-hoon made it clear that he wouldn't work under his father, and in response, Chairman Woo removed him from his house and seized his credit card. Woo Jeong-hoon decided to sleep at the kindergarten in the meantime.
A news article that stirred the firm was about Park Yeong-min’s plan that started 5 years back and whether Kang Ji-yun knew about it.

They gathered at the bookstore where Kang Ji-yun also arrived after meeting with Kim Hye-jin. Watching her team work hard, despite the crisis, Kang Ji-yun was relieved to learn she had good people supporting her.
Later, Chairman Woo asked Kang Ji-yun to step down from her position as the CEO to save Peoplez. This was because Career Way was planning to acquire Peoplez only if Kang Ji-yun resigned. Kang Ji-yun asked Yu Eun-ho to go on vacation where they could enjoy the sea. Yu Eun-ho gifted her a pendant he bought with Yu Byeol.
Kang Ji-yun told him that she hated her life and never tried looking inside herself despite working in a field where she looked for the best in people to help them find the best jobs. She told him that after he came into her life, she started to like herself. By the end of Love Scout episode 11, Kang Ji-yun informed her employees that she had withdrawn from the position of Peoplez’s CEO.
Meanwhile, Love Scout episode 12 will air on Friday, February 14, 2025, on SBS and Viki.
