Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 19

Young lady, I'll like to ask you about something.

Yes?

I have a house that is 110 square meters big.

According to your rates

how much can I sell my house for?

It's now twenty thousand RMB dollars...

110 square meters big for just twenty thousand dollars?

Auntie, it's twenty thousand dollars per square meter.

It's twenty thousand dollars per square meter?

- You gave me a fright... - Madam Pei.

What is it? You have the money to buy another house?

Buying a house?

I'm selling a house!

Seriously?

Haven't you been renting out that extra house of yours?

Why do you have to sell it?

We got it all planned out.

We were using the rent on my grandson Niu Niu

for his extracurricular classes, right?

- Exactly. - When he graduates from high school

I'll sell this house

so that we can send him abroad for further studies. Right?

You think this is all going well

but my daughter-in-law really knows how to make my life hard.

She signs him up for this class, and then that class.

She can't get busier.

Then she said something to me yesterday.

She's signing him up for a skill development class.

She said that this class is particularly good

so he must attend it.

The tuition for one class is twenty thousand RMB dollars.

- For just one class? - One class.

Your daughter-in-law must have won the lottery.

She must have been scammed!

I told my old man

that we might as well sell that extra house soon

and then they can sign Niu Niu up for whatever class they want.

I won't be bothered by her then.

Are you even thinking straight? She's been scammed!

I have to tell you that it really isn't the case.

My old man and I went to have a look at that school.

We asked around about that course.

Experienced professors and responsible parents

are all attending that class.

Look! There's a class here this afternoon.

A lot of parents have already signed up for it.

- It's her? -Yes, it has her photo.

Auntie!

It's you! We were just talking about you!

That is our promotional material.

- This is your class? - Yes.

You know each other?

We don't just know each other.

What gift could I get her?

Didn't Mom say that I knit quite well?

I've decided to knit a hat for Mom.

Who knits these days?

It shows my sincerity because no one knits these days.

You bought so many things for Mom

so this is all I can do as a token of my appreciation.

All right then. I'm heading over first.

Don't be late.

Mom is quite strict about that.

Supervisor Du.

You're chatting on the phone during office hours?

I only made a call for a minute.

What's more, I've already finished reading through all the documents.

- You've read them all? - Yes.

Come over here, everyone.

Let's have a look at how well the ingenious newcomer performed.

Do you have to make such a big fuss about this?

Aren't you confident?

Be a role model for all.

Fine, quiz me on it.

What's the operating system like in Walmart?

First, they emphasize on collaborating with third-party logistics.

They are taking on the seamless point to point logistics system.

Third, they have an automatic replenishment system.

Fourth, they have a retail and wholesale system.

- Are you tired? - I'm all right.

Let me in first so I can grab a seat.

Look how anxious she is.

Auntie, if I remember it correctly it's your birthday today?

Yes.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

Thank you for remembering my birthday after all these years.

Go on inside. All the students are waiting for you.

All right, I'll go in then.

I wish you success.

Don't close the door.

Ya Xian!

Come in with me.

Stop it.

This is a really good course.

I don't have twenty thousand dollars. It's impossible.

- She knows you! - It's not that! There's no more seats.

I have one! Sit with me.

- That's not possible. - We won't take up more seats.

- Isn't that inappropriate? - Not at all.

- This is taking advantage of you. - It's not like that.

What advantage? Come in.

Close the door.

Thank you.

It's nice to be here to share some thoughts with you on education.

I think that all the parents who are here love their children very much.

I have a question for you.

Perhaps, this isn't what you would normally think about.

Is the child you hold now in your arms truly yours?

- No. - Yes.

Basic information on Huang Qing Yang of Huayu Group.

Huang Qing Yang was born on 25 March, 1965.

He's an Aries. Blood type, B.

He graduated from the finance department

of Southwestern Caijing University in 1987. In the same year

he started working at ICBC in Sichuan.

She's really good.

Supervisor Du, you have to meet a client in ten minutes.

That's fine.

Supervisor Du, you can quiz me anytime.

Are you expressing your discontent?

I'm offering you a suggestion.

I hope that you can learn to respect your subordinates.

I will let you know what respect is.

You're awesome.

Sheng Nan, you're fantastic.

Keep it down. We'll be in trouble if he hears us.

No one dared to stand up to him.

You've finally vent our frustrations for us.

Supervisor Du!

What you could give them is love.

But not your own thoughts and ideas.

It's because they have their own thoughts.

What you can protect is their bodies

but not their souls.

It's because their souls are of tomorrow

a future that you can't imagine.

You can do all that you can to become like them

but you mustn't expect them to become like you.

It's because life doesn't take steps backwards.

It doesn't stop in the past either.

You're a bow, and your children are arrows that you shoot out.

Your children aren't really your children.

Children are born out of the desire for life.

They come to this world through you

but not for you.

They are by your side, but they don't belong to you.

What you can give them is love but not your thoughts and ideas.

Why didn't you switch on the lights?

We have a problem.

What is it?

You'll know when you see this person.

- Happy birthday to you... - Are you surprised?

- Happy birthday to you... - Mommy! Godmother is here!

- Sheng Nan is home? - Mom.

Aren't you working overtime today?

How can I not rush home for Mom's birthday?

What is Tang Lin doing here?

I invited her over.

Madam Pei said that her grandson signed up for some development course

and said that the teacher is particularly good.

I was curious so I went with her to take a look at the teacher.

Who knew that the good teacher turns out to be Tang Lin?

Tang Lin, you're here at the perfect timing.

It's my birthday.

I dragged you home with me shamelessly to have you celebrate my birthday.

Don't say that, Auntie.

I think that this is meant to be.

I think that it's meant to be as well.

Meant to be!

It's pretty good to have Tang Lin here.

I can ask her for free advice on children's education.

Qian Qian is waiting to have some cake. Let's finish singing the birthday song.

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday to you...

Thank you.

Make a wish!

Make a wish.

Grandma, what wish did you make?

I wish for our little princess to grow up quickly and healthily.

Mom, cut the cake.

Yes, cut the cake. Here.

Luo Dan, didn't you tell me that you would like to emigrate?

Where do you intend to immigrate to?

You came home to make money here

and you still talk to me about emigration?

Do you know why she returned?

Why?

You should tell us about it.

I just think that the market here for education is particularly big.

You know that there are a lot of mothers like Sheng Nan

who are worried about their children and willing to spend money on them.

If I don't make money from them who else would I make money from?

Tang Lin, I'd like to know more about that course of yours.

I'd like... Qian Qian to attend it.

Madam Pei said that she would sell her house to attend your course.

That's overly exaggerated.

Auntie, if Auntie Pei wants to attend my course

you can tell her to approach me directly.
