Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 17

You're right. Parents should do their best to keep their kids company.

But it doesn't mean making her husband inferior.

Abroad, a marital relationship is more important than kinship.

Wait a minute.

What does that mean?

It means that the relationship between a married couple matters more.

A lot of women ignore their husbands' feelings after they have kids.

This will cause husbands to have extramarital affairs.

After the wives have children

they place all their attention on the children

and ignore their husbands. Right?

It seems that Sheng Nan has already ignored your existence.

Listen, the last time Sheng Nan and I were like how we are now

having wine and western food

were years ago.

I'm very honored then.

I can tell that you're not happy.

No, I'm doing quite well.

I'm not unhappy. I'm just...

I just don't eat out that often.

By the way, that...

You are really sharp and spot on with your analysis today.

I think that on a lot of matters

I have some ideas, but I don't know how to put them into words.

You can read my blog when you get home.

I wrote a lot of my thoughts on it.

Has Mom taken Qian Qian to school?

I have to work overtime tonight.

I might be back a bit late.

I'm off now.

What's the matter?

Are you going to an interview today?

Call me when you're done to tell me how it went.

All right.

I'm off now.

I don't know anything. I really don't.

Let me tell you this. I already know a lot about it.

I see you as a friend so I'm giving you the chance to make up for your mistake.

You better seize the chance when you still have one.

Sheng Nan, you should know where I stand, right?

When we were in school, I didn't like Tang Lin either.

I even told Luo Su to choose you over her.

- You can ask him if you don't trust me. - I don't need you to act loyal.

Just tell me how many times they have met up.

They met up?

You're so good at acting.

Waterhouse?

Waserhout?

What are you saying? I don't understand?

Well done, Ding Cheng.

Luo Su is really fortunate to have a buddy like you.

So-so.

I still have to go to an interview later.

I don't have much time to waste on you.

- Take care. I won't see you off. - But I will call

those three ex-girlfriends of yours

to let them know that you were three-timing them.

You're a jerk!

You're talking about that art exhibition?

Sheng Nan, I really take my hat off to you.

Spit it out.

Tang Lin asked him along.

Sheng Nan! No...

Please don't tell Luo Su that I told you about it!

It isn't easily that we stayed friends for so long! Sheng Nan!

Sheng Nan!

You studied in France for five years.

Yet you wrote Karaoke down as your strength?

Are your brains normal? How is that a strength?

Did your parents have too much money to spare?

How did they raise such an idiot like you? Get out!

Next!

Hello, I'm Bi Sheng Nan.

You're not young anymore.

Yes.

She majored in marketing.

You haven't worked for more than a year?

Yes.

Married.

She also has a child.

How old is your child?

As old as yours.

Tell us why we should hire you.

I had worked at Europa Shopping Mall up until last year

since I graduated from university.

I made my way up to the manager of marketing department from a regular staff.

I have more experience than freshman.

Why did you quit your job at Europa?

I did it for my child.

I stayed home to study with her.

How can I trust you not to quit again for your child?

Because she is already in school and everything is on track.

So I won't make any changes for the next six years.

Besides being trained in Word and Excel

do you know how to use SPSS?

I didn't hear you very clearly.

Have you take TOEFL or IELTS? Or have you studied abroad?

I believe that it is all stated very clearly on my resume.

I only attended one university and I've never attended other schools.

There are people our age who did study abroad

but it wasn't as common as it is today.

I have every right to believe that this is a discrimination against me.

Madam, I receive hundreds of resumes from the online job banks every day.

There are postgraduates, doctors and those who studied abroad.

They have all sorts of certificates that you don't have.

I just want you to know where your weakness lies compared to freshmen.

My weakness?

I have a lot of weaknesses.

For example?

For example, I pay more attention to my child.

I sometimes neglect my own life.

For example, I'm very simple.

I trust others too easily.

I never knew that I would also be deceived.

I'm sorry.

Next.

Okay, done.

Mom is home.

You're home?

Have you had dinner?

I already ate.

Didn't you go to an interview?

Yes, I went to a few other companies after that.

Mommy, look at the bowl that I just washed.

What about your homework?

It's all done. I told her that she can do what she want after finishing it.

She saw Mom washing dishes with me so she insisted on joining us.

She did such a good job at it.

Qian Qian has become really obedient.

Daddy, I want to watch cartoon.

You have to ask your mom about such a serious matter!

Our darling wants to watch cartoon.

Ping An Insurance Company's children's insurance.

Seven years with extra bonus.

I washed the dishes again.

How could I ask her to really wash dishes for us?

I just want her to take initiative in helping with chores

so that she takes an interest in it and develop a good habit.

How is it? It's a great trick?

You're getting better at being a father now.

Listen to what you just said.

It sounds as if I've never disciplined Qian Qian.

I've also looked up those websites on education.

There are all big theories.

No specific tips were given.

Is that so?

Have you asked someone for advice?

Who could I ask for such advice?

All right. You should still be commended for thinking for our child.

You made a good effort.

It's barely an effort.

Wifey, can I discuss something with you?

I've become willing to think more these days.

It's good to think. Tell me about it.

I think that our relationship must come before our child.

You're right to focus on our child's education these years

but you can't neglect me.

We mustn't neglect our own life for our child.

You have to care more about my feelings.

Your feelings?

Who taught you that?

Don't you think that you're very selfish?

You're Qian Qian's father. How can you say that?

All other fathers are working to attain opportunities for their children

but what about you?

Are you going to vie with Qian Qian over me?

No, I'm not...

No? Then what are you trying to ask of me?

There's so much to one's energy.

If I spend more of it on you, then there's less on our child.

What do you mean by that?

Not only do you not contribute your love but you want to snatch it from Qian Qian.

Is there a more selfish father than you are?

If I were you, I'd be embarrassed!

If Qian Qian knows that she has such a selfish father

what would she think?

If I were you, I would be too ashamed to see her.

I'm sorry, Wifey. What is wrong with me?

How can I say something like that?

You have been possessed.

In regards to some members, you have to figure out what wines they like.

It's because of the wines we have here...

We have a huge variety of wines.

You must ask them very clearly.

You may dismiss now.

What happened?

Have you heard or seen something?

Do I need to hear or see anything?

I've worked in this industry long enough

to see my fair share of untrustworthy couples.

I've seen too much of hypocrisy.

Have a seat.

This is so unfair.

Of course.

You've been scarred by life, but she's still the same as before.

You live for your husband and daughter, but she lives only for herself.

As women, you can't be compared.

I gave Luo Su a chance.

I just want him to tell me the truth.
