"Don't worry, I didn't investigate you on purpose. I just happened to find out. Anyways … I'm very interested in you."
"So?"
"So … you have to be my friend," Jiang Xiaowei said domineeringly.
"You make it sound like I don't have a choice. Is that a threat?" Huo Mien laughed.
"Of course it's a threat. You have to be my friend."
"Why?"
"Because I like to be friends with people who are as smart as me."
"Miss Jiang, you're not modest at all."
"Why should I be modest? Smart is smart. That's the truth."
"Uh … okay."
"So, do you agree?" Jiang Xiaowei looked at Huo Mien expectantly.
"Yes." Huo Mien nodded.
Then, she saw Jiang Xiaowei take something out of her bag and place it on the table.
"This is for you. It's a gift for the first friend I've made in 25 years."
Ka … Huo Mien was shocked. Her first friend in 25 years? Who was she?
"Forget about the gift … you don't have to be so polite."
"No, take it. I rarely give people gifts. My purpose for coming here today is very clear. I want to be friends with you. I've already prepared the gift."
Huo Mien slowly picked up the beautiful box and opened it. It was a Swarovski brooch.
It was in the shape of a butterfly. It was very beautiful, and the wings were surrounded by diamonds.
It looked expensive …
"This … is too expensive."
"You can't measure the price of a gift. Do you know why I like butterflies?" Jiang Xiaowei asked.
Huo Mien was silent for a moment. Then, he slowly said, "I think you admire the spirit of butterflies. It's a very painful process to turn from a caterpillar into a butterfly. However, as long as you persevere, there will be a day when you break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly."
Jiang Xiaowei looked at Huo Mien in shock. "You're really smart to be able to see through this. I've liked butterflies since I was young. My family and colleagues all thought that I only liked butterflies for their appearance. However, that's not the case. When butterflies are caterpillars, they're extremely ugly and slow. All insects look down on them because they're so unremarkable. However … they persevere. No matter how others treat them, how they laugh at them, they finally survive the long period of transformation and become the most beautiful creature."
"You have a personality..." Huo Mien's face.
"Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality comes from who I am, and my attitude depends on who you are."
"Uh … you make a lot of sense. I don't know what to say."
Huo Mien suddenly realized that not only did Jiang Xiaowei have a high EQ, but she also had a way with words.
Even someone like her, who loved to talk about chicken soup for the soul, felt inferior in front of Jiang Xiaowei …
At this moment, Jiang Xiaowei looked at her watch. "It's about time. I have something to do, so I'm leaving. Let's have dinner together in a few days."
"Okay."
Jiang Xiaowei got up and was about to leave …
Huo Mien suddenly thought of something and shouted. "Wait."
Jiang Xiaowei turned around …
She saw Huo Mien take out a box of Longjing tea and hand it to her. "Here, a gift for our new friend."
Jiang Xiaowei froze for a second. Then, she took the tea and smiled.
After Jiang Xiaowei left, Huo Mien put away the brooch and put it in her bag. Jiang Xiaowei was such a strange girl.
But for some reason, Huo Mien liked her a lot. Maybe President Wu was right. The two of them were similar in some ways.
Seeing how arrogant she was just now, she really resembled herself from seven years ago …
Just then, Huo Mien's phone rang …
Looking at the caller ID, it was Huo Siqian …
