Golden Thread Embroidery has a hundred years of history.

It can be regarded as a reputable company for handiwork,

especially with the embroidery of the "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Blossoms,"

that was once presented at the international art fair. We won the first prize.

Not too long ago, the dress that was embroidered by the Head Embroiderer, Madam Dong Li Jun,

was the front page headline in the media overseas.

Once again, we unveiled to the world our country's embroidery skills that have been handed down from ancient times.

Teacher Xu, at the charity ball of the Metropolitan Museum in New York,

our movie actress, Miss Zhang Man Jia wore an embroidered dress made in China and surprised everyone.

May I ask if it was done by you?

That dress was done by me and Song Xiu Hua under the guidance of the Head Embroiderer Dong Li Jun.

Of course, friends who know me well know that I can embroider faster.

It's the most capable people who do the most work. This is a given.

This dress will be sent to the Embroidery Art Museum for display. Everyone will be able to see it then.

We will only be able to view it from afar through an enclosed glass case at the museum.

Could you let us take a look? We would really like to see its actual form.

Embroidery Master Xu, please. - That's right.

Please let us take a look.

Let us take a look, please.

Okay then. Please follow me.

Okay, fine.

This way, please.

So beautiful.

It's really beautiful.

This is the embroidered dress worn by Miss Zhang Man Jia. - It's really the work of this embroidery house.

Thank you for your compliments. - You deserved it.

Thank you, thank you.

You can see it clearly now.

It's really too much.

This dress is going to be sent to the art museum as a collection and not to be used to create a sensation.

Grandma, Aunt.

My precious Yi Bei. - You are sweating.

Precious one, it's hot, right?

Mom, I'll go and take a look.

Hui Jie, why did you suddenly invite so many reporters over here?

You are also displaying the embroidered dress.

Sister-in-law, in this era, many things need to be publicized. If you improve the quality of a product, people will buy it.

Since many members of the media are here today,

I'm taking this chance to make an announcement.

I'm getting old. I should consider a new head of embroidery.

After three days, Golden Thread Embroidery will hold an embroidery contest.

The contestants are my best students, Song Xiu Hua and Xu Hui Jie.

I will split the competition into three segments.

For the first segment, I want them to embroider a dress to the opposing contestant's tastes.

The second task will be, on the day of the contest, copying a drawing and embroidering it on-site.

As for the third thing, it will be confidential for now.

Okay then.

Mom, it's a hard push time-wise to complete a product in three days.

Work efficiency and time management are also knowledge.

Three days it is then. You have my support.

Mom, I brought the wrist bag that you embroidered for me to school.

All of my classmates were envious of me.

Is that so? - Mom, hurry up. We will be late.

What do you mean?

Didn't I tell you?

The school is having a drawing competition today. You are going to be my model.

Sorry, Yi Bei. I was busy and I forgot about it.

It's okay. It won't be too late if we go now.

You are so beautiful and you also embroidered such a beautiful wrist bag for me.

All my classmates will envy me.

Hey, Yi Bei!

Let Dad go with you first. When I'm done working, I'll go and look for you guys. Okay?

But you clearly promised me.

Yi Bei, you're the one who supports my work the most, right?

That's right. I support your work the most.

You're the prettiest when you're working.

Mom, it's okay if you're late, but you must come.

I know.

Sister-in-law!

Was it you who purposely called Mom back?

You clearly told me that Mom took a class on someone's behalf. Why is she back so suddenly?

You know that Mom doesn't like these kinds of media conferences.

It can't be that you intentionally had Mom come home early to witness this, right?

Mom did go to lecture at a class.

She probably worked too hard embroidering ceremonial dresses these last two days.

She felt tired and stopped the class prematurely.

Hui Jie, the two of us are family.

Would I try to harm you?

Although we are family, there can only be one head of embroidery.

Did Mom tell you to deliver the embroidered dress?

Yes. The other person is waiting for me. I'm leaving now.

Mom trusts you very much.

It's such an important task and she passed it to you to handle alone.

Looks like you'll be the only one worthy of becoming Golden Thread Embroidery's newly appointed lead embroider.

Hui Jie, that's because Mom knows you promised Yi Bei

to go to her school's drawing competition.

She was afraid of hindering you. That's why she asked me.

That's Mom's excuse.

I can attend the school event at any time,

but it's very difficult to meet the art museum's curator.

Mom wanted you to go, perhaps, because she wanted you to get to know the judges better

so that you could win in the competition.

You are thinking too much about this.

Hui Jie, didn't Mom want us to have a fair fight?

Think about it. You are quick with your embroidery and your quality is good, too.

Frankly, I'm the one who should be the most worried about this.

Since this is the case, let me do the errand then.

We only have three days to prepare for the competition.

You also like to be slow and detailed in your work.

You should start preparing for the test now.

You already promised to go with Yi Bei to her school.

Is it a good idea not to go?

No wonder Yi Bei gets along with you so well. That's right, too.

You don't have a child and you have placed all your love on her.

Why don't I deliver the dress and you go with her to school for the activity?

The person that Yi Bei wants to go is not me. You are her mother.

No one can take your place.

I love to joke. I hit the mark with how you feel. Please don't take offense.

I'm leaving now.

I know that I already promised her

but-- but something suddenly cropped up. Go on my behalf.

I'm having a class now.

I can't just abandon my students without a care.

It's regarding the embroidery again, right?

We have been married for a long time. When have you ever placed family over embroidery?

Zhi Ming, this matter today is very important to me.

I really don't know if you are married to embroidery or to me.

What are you saying? Don't be so unreasonable.

Everyone is looking at the dress?

Curator!

That's it, okay?

Hello?

Curator, the dress delivery is here.

Thank you. It has been hard for you to come all the way here.

No, this is what I should do.

It's excellent. It's not bad.

Yi Bei, what's wrong?

If you don't start drawing then there won't be enough time later.

Thank you, everyone.

Student Jin Yi Bei.

Yi Bei, the instructions for today were to draw your mom and dad.

Why did you draw a scenery?

I also drew my mom, too.

My mom originally promised me she would come,

but she is too busy with her work.

Take a look, this is the dyeing compound for my family.

The place where my mom works.

There are dyed materials being dried.

They are my multi-colored best friends.

Mom is always busy so I talk to them instead.

I tell them stories, teach them how to sing.

If I sing well, they will dance in the wind with me.

I like to see my mom smile.

My mom smiles the most when she is in the dyeing compound. Thus, I like the mom in the dyeing compound.

That's why I drew the dyeing compound.

Thank you, everyone.

Dad, is my drawing pretty?

You drew extremely well. Your drawing is the most unique among your schoolmates.

Really? Don't get mad because I didn't draw you this time.

Next time I will definitely draw you and Mom.

Yi Bei, actually Mom--

I know Mom is busy.

I saw that the rest of the children had their parents with them.

Yi Bei, you aren't mad, right?

I'm not. Who am I?

I'm the daughter of the great arts professor, Jin Zhi Ming.

Mom didn't come and I still won first place.

Such a good girl, Yi Bei.

But in the future, Mom will have a lot more time to spend with you.

Really? Doesn't Mom have to work?

I'm taking you and Mom to live overseas.

If Mom is not busy with her embroidery, she will have more time to spend with you every day.

But let's talk about this next time.

I need to go back to teach my students later. I won't be able to take you home. Okay?

It's okay, I can take the school bus myself.

Yi Bei is an understanding child.

I ordered a seafood pizza for you.

One is to reward you for drawing so nicely.

The other is to compensate you for not being able to go home with you. Okay?

It will be delivered to our home later.

That great! I love eating pizza!

I know that Yi Bei is a pizza princess.

That's right.

Xiu Hua?

Mom - Why are you still here?

Didn't you go to the arts museum to deliver the dress?

Hui Jie went in my place.

Sit, Mom.

Hui Jie knows that I'm slow in my work. That's why she went on my behalf.

That way I will also have more time to prepare for the competition.

Is she really that kind-hearted?

Don't forget that the judge for this competition is the curator of the Embroidery Arts Museum.

Hui Jie is smart and capable. She has the desire to excel over others.

Sometimes, I'm worried that she will do something outrageous.

Mom, Hui Jie is indeed reckless

but she has done a lot for Golden Thread Embroidery for the past few years. One can see that.

If she really becomes the head of embroidery after this competition,

then I will completely support her.

As the older daughter-in-law of this family, I have the responsibility to make everyone get along well.

Mom, don't worry.

Yun Kai,

you've been playing with this old action figure for so many years.

Didn't I give you a birthday gift today? Why don't you play with the new one?

My mom gave me this.

Do you miss your mom right now?

Actually, I also really miss her.
