Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 22

You haven't read this yet.

This is the rankings of exam results in elementary schools last year.

This isn't even the final exams.

But the competition has already started.

What's the point in being soft-hearted now?

Isn't that just to allow kids to sleep a while longer?

Teachers can also take pity on the children

and let them get off from school early without extra hours.

That's easy for us!

But it's the kids who suffer in the end.

How do you expect her to compete with others then?

But this sort of competition is unhealthy!

I'm sorry.

I've been listening to you from outside

but I still have to talk to you about it.

Qian Qian has been crying in my office.

Supervisor Mei, I think that we assigned too much math homework this time.

Most of the students couldn't finish all of them.

Ms. Zhao Jia Le, you're a homeroom teacher.

You shouldn't criticize other teachers in front of any parent.

But this is about my student!

As a teacher, it's my duty to let my students grow up happily

and study in a healthy manner.

You came at the right time.

I can't even handle one person

and you have to make it even worse.

Supervisor, I think that Ms. Zhao is right.

I used to force my child to do this and that in the past.

I might have done wrong.

I've always known that competition is cruel.

That's why I hope that Qian Qian can adapt to it in advance.

But then I realized that you can't push a person too far.

If you do, they might develop issues

and even mental illnesses.

I know a director who is very successful

and his mother is now hospitalized.

She just wants a bowl of wontons made by her son.

But he couldn't set aside any time for that.

Has he considered for a fact that if something happens to his mother

and she doesn't make it out of a surgery alive

will he have any regrets?

Will he regret that all he cared about is surpassing others in business?

I have a bit of a problem at work as well.

There's a girl in her 20s who was an elite in school.

But how does she treat others?

She only seeks to win.

She would use any means to get rid of her opponents.

I don't want for my child to become someone like her.

Yes, neither do I.

We wouldn't want that either, but...

Daddy, this is so pretty!

Save me, Daddy!

Mommy! What's wrong?

It's all right, Qian Qian.

Mommy had a nightmare.

What's wrong, darling?

It's all right. I had a nightmare.

Go to sleep, Qian Qian.

Mommy is all right.

Are you really all right?

Call for me if something is wrong.

Go to bed.

Qian Qian, go to sleep now.

Close your eyes and go to sleep.

Miss, I've told you!

You can't come in here without an appointment!

Miss, you can't come in here!

Miss...

I realized that sometimes kindness messes things up.

Your behavior and actions make me feel like that farmer.

And you're that snake.

Where did you get this from?

The best way to hide a misdeed is not to commit it.

The Heavens are watching our every move.

You're really something.

I'll be honest with you. Yiyuan Trade has nothing against Jianzhong Group.

This huge fuss is all about me getting back at you.

It's good that you're willing to admit it.

It proves that you're not a coward.

- Because I hate you. - Why?

Would you like to know why?

Because you're a tiger.

As long as you're in the woods, you won't allow others to survive.

Is it just me?

Everyone wants to take you on

but they are just too scared.

Huang Li, I've told you ages ago.

I know that you fear nothing.

But you're too young

and think too highly of yourself.

Some things can't be done.

For example, a tiger's ass mustn't be touched.

Do you think that since I spared you before, I would do it again?

Bi Sheng Nan!

Are you going to take those documents to the General Manager's office?

Huang Li, you're pregnant?

I know that the elimination of the weak is cruel.

But now that you're going to be a mother

you should learn to keep your mind calm and forgiving.

What does this mean?

You're not sleeping with Qian Qian?

You have problems with developing your software?

Who told you about it?

You only want to share the good news, but not the bad with your wife?

Thank you.

Bi Ran told me all about it.

You helped me in secret.

I talked to Ding Cheng on the phone

and only then did I know of the difficulties you have at work.

Why didn't you tell me about it?

Wifey, why are you so lovely?

What is a grown man crying for? Right?

Wifey...

Ms. Liu, where has my desk gone?

Sheng Nan, come here.

This is your new desk.

We've moved all your belongings here for you.

Thank you, Ms. Liu.

You shouldn't be thanking me.

Bi Sheng Nan!

Come in here.

Look at this project carefully.

This is the biggest project thus far, and we're going to work on next.

You'll be working on this with me.

- Sure. - You did well this time.

Even the chairman knows about you now.

Thank you.

The company will reimburse you on all expenses in investigating Yile's case.

In addition, what other request do you have in regards to your salary?

Feel free to talk to me about it.

No, I'm already used to this.

You're used to this?

What are you used to?

General Manager Du, in our position, you should know it better than I do.

To attain achievements at our age, we've all been through obstacles.

This is nothing.

Thank you for my new desk.

You're welcome.

You deserve it.

Thank you.

It means that no matter what Tang Lin tries on you

it can't help you resolve your issues.

But you're all right after your wife talked to you nicely and gave you a hug?

I felt strange about it as well.

I broke down in tears. It was so embarrassing.

Tang Lin mustn't know about this.

- What has this got to do with her? - Of course, it does!

She likes you so much! She'll be so upset to know that.

Don't make it sound as if it were true.

But on that note

I've never seen you really cry.

You're too suppressed.

Last night, I put my head on my wife's soft shoulder.

She said to me, 'Hubby, no matter what difficulties you run into'

'you have to tell me about it.'

'What are husbands and wives?'

'A married couple should face all obstacles hand in hand.'

Yes, Sheng Nan might be ill-tempered at times

and she's a bit fierce to me

but now with what she said last night as my support

I'm totally willing to be bond to her for life!

Look at you...

Look at that bitchy expression.

If what you said is true

I now have new hopes for long forgotten love.

But... only you know the truth.

That's just sour grapes.

Let's wait and see.

Being single is the best.

No one monitors me.

Where do you get soft shoulders if you're single?

Yes! Come and lean on me.

- Lean over... - Darn it. Go away.

Luo Dan's chateau is really doing quite well.

Here.

How do you find your first time here?

It's pretty good.

What are you doing here?

You don't welcome me?

Why did you open up this bottle of wine?

Judging from Luo Dan's expression, we've picked the right wine?

Here, let's have a sip.

This isn't beer so don't drink it like that. It's expensive!

Come on. Why are you so petty?

We drink from your wine because we respect you.

Right, Tang Lin?

Exactly.

Luo Dan, this is my first visit to your chateau.

Won't you be embarrassed to treat me to a bottle of cheap wine?

No... What I was going to say is why the both of you are on the same side?

Don't worry. Do you think that Sheng Nan will let me drink your wine for nothing?

Sheng Nan wants to be tested at my center

to see what sort of a mother she is.

Sit down.

Here, have some as well.

Of course! Why wouldn't I drink such an expensive wine?

I'm using Luo Dan's wine as a gift

to thank Expert Tang for introducing us to new concepts in education.

Since you returned to China
