Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 26

Thank you, Director Luo.

Thank you, Director Luo.

Thank you, Director Luo.

Director Luo, we really can't bear to leave this place.

You should leave.

If you stay, I don't even know if I can support myself.

How do I offer you wages?

Go and find the next job.

Go on.

You should all leave.

Wait a minute.

I'm older than all of you and I've had more experience.

I'll give you some words from the bottom of my heart.

After you're married

you have to handle your husband like a kite.

You have to hold him tightly in your hands.

You can let it soar high occasionally.

But you have to hold on to that string tightly on your own.

Hold it tightly.

Leave now.

It's right to dismiss them.

Tackle your problem and don't run away from it.

Cut the Gordion knot.

You and your words.

If you didn't kick up all that fuss last night

I wouldn't end up like this now.

Why haven't you come to your senses yet?

He was already pushing it that far

acting like that in front of your parents.

He's burned his bridges.

You're still speaking up for him?

No...

I...

I'd like to beg Zi Feng again.

I really think that I shouldn't have suspected him and stalked him.

I want to beg him to forgive me.

I've never seen you behave so lowly.

You said that I behaved lowly?

Did I really behaved lowly?

Listen up! I am lowly! So what?

Not only am I lowly, I'm not even worth a cent!

I'm definitely lowly!

- All right, stop crying... - You don't understand at all...

Please stop crying, will you?

I have lost everything...

You had your fill in scolding him yesterday.

You scolded him so much that I lost everything!

Look at you!

You have a home, a husband, and a daughter!

What about me?

I have nothing!

All I have left is myself. I don't even want to live anymore...

What should I do?

All right now... You still have us.

You still have your family.

It's all right. You'll get over this soon.

But what should I do? I'm so frightened...

Rock, scissors, paper!

You won. Walk ten steps.

One, two, three, four, five...

What's wrong, Darling? Why are you so moody?

The result of the maths test from a few days ago is out.

I got 92 out of a 100.

Ninety-two?

It's indeed not too high according to your mom's standard.

Daddy, don't tell Mommy about it.

Our teacher said that parents don't have to sign on this test paper.

The exam was really difficult.

It was really difficult?

Let me think about it.

All right. I promise you not to tell Mommy about it.

Daddy, is it okay to lie to Mommy?

It's not really okay.

We'll tell her the truth then?

We'll tell her that you scored 92 points.

No!

All right then.

We lie to Mommy so that she won't punish you.

Darling, how about this?

You'll review on your homework when you get home.

Then you can try to get a perfect score next time!

- Okay! - Pinky swear!

Pinky swear. The promise is not to be broken for a hundred years. Seal it!

A handshake.

All right, let's continue.

Rock, scissors, paper!

Ten steps!

One, two, three, four, five, six seven, eight, nine, ten.

Hello?

Are you busy?

I'm busy, but you're my top priority.

What is it?

An expert from Shanghai, Mr. Lin, is coming to give a speech here.

Do you know him?

Lin?

Lin?

Professor Lin is already in his sixties.

You still address him so casually?

Is that so?

We're friends regardless of age.

He calls me Bi very often.

Really?

Then... Could you ask him for a ticket to his seminar?

His tickets are especially hard to get.

Not even my dad can get one.

No problem! It's a piece of cake!

Seriously?

Of course!

Thank you!

Bye.

- Have the supervisor sign this later. - Sure.

You asked to see me?

Have a seat.

What's the matter?

I don't wish to lie to you.

But I find it hard to say it to you.

You actually find it hard to say something to me?

That's quite rare.

Go ahead.

Your spot for the training seminar in Shenzhen has been taken.

The one who took your spot is the daughter of the chairman's friend.

You're still smiling?

I've had quite a few similar experiences.

But you're really the one person who is so frank with me.

I'm very sorry about it.

I've fought hard for you.

But it was in vain.

That's all right.

If there's nothing else I'll get back to work.

I...

I hope that this won't affect you too much.

Do you know how I got into Europa Mall?

I got through all the tests into the final interview.

They were hiring only one out of three.

My scores were top of the list.

I really thought that I had nailed it.

However, one of the nicer interviewers told me that

they already had someone in mind.

No matter how hard I tried, I would come in second.

I was really upset then.

I cried my heart out at home.

I thought to myself then that if I were to lose a fight, I will die fighting.

I'll make them regret not having hired me.

I stayed up all night preparing for the interview.

The next day, we both ranked first.

The company made an exception to hire us both.

At that time, I knew that we all have power over our destiny.

We can't just blame others for it.

Therefore, this matter won't get me down.

Thank you, Supervisor Du.

I'll get back to work if there's nothing else.

Don't forget about that conference at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

Yes.

Darling, you're such a good girl! You're writing in your diary?

Darling, this is what I wrote for you

to copy into the fake diary for Mom.

Let me know if you like it?

Copy it in if you like it.

So this is how you lie to Mommy?

You're so well-trained in this.

Am I not doing this to help you?

Hurry up.

I'll go keep an eye on your mom.

Tear this up when you're done copying it in. Hurry up!

Hurry up.

[Seminar of Education Expert Professor Lin Yu Sen]

- Hi. - Hi.

Take this and go in right away.

Go in now.

It's still early.

It's also quite nice in here.

Why don't we go in later after looking around?

That will do.

This way.

Professor Lin and I actually differ in our opinions.

Especially when it comes to teaching management

and higher education analysis

I think that he emphasizes more on the form than the context.

You know so much about it?

That's all.

Let's go over there.

It's getting late. You should go in.

Aren't you going in?

I... Didn't I just tell you

that Professor Lin and I differ in our academic approach?

He won't be too happy to see me.

- I see... - That's right.

I won't go in either.

No, you should attend it!

I mean that you should attend it.

My conflict with him is strictly academic.

It has nothing to do with you.

Go on. I'll wait here for you.

You'll keep on waiting out here?

I will.

Don't worry. I won't go missing.

Hurry up.

Why don't I go in first, and then I'll leave right away if it's boring?

Sure.
