"Don't worry, I didn't investigate you . I found out by chance, anyways… I'm very interested in you . "
"So?"
"So… you have to be friends with me," Jiang Xiaowei said domineeringly .
"You say it as if I'm not allowed to choose . Are you threatening me?" Huo Mian smiled .
"Of course it's a threat, you must be friends with me . "
"Why?"
"Because I like being friends with people who are just as smart as me . "
"Miss Jiang, you're really not modest at all . "
"Why should I be modest? I'm smart, that's the truth . "
"Uhm… okay . "
"So, have you agreed?" Jiang Xiaowei looked at Huo Mian, looking forward to her answer .
"Ya . " Huo Mian nodded .
Then, she saw Jiang Xiaowei take something out from her bag and place it on the table .
"This is for you, as my first friend in 25 years . "
Snap… Huo Mian was shocked . First friend in 25 years? What kind of person was she?
"You don't need to give me anything… and you don't need to be so polite . "
"No, take it . I rarely give others gifts, and I've come with a purpose today, and that's to be friends with you, so I prepared a gift . "
Huo Mian slowly picked up the pretty box . As she opened it, she saw that it was a Swarovski brooch .
It was in the shape of a beautiful butterfly with crystal-plated wings .
It looked quite expensive…
"This… is too much . "
"Good faith can't be judged by the price . Do you know why I like butterflies?" Jiang Xiaowei asked .
Huo Mian was silent for a moment, and then she said, "I think it's because you admire them . Butterflies go through the painful process of evolving from a caterpillar to butterfly, but as long as it persists, it will one day break from its shell . "
Jiang Xiaowei looked at Huo Mian with great shock after she heard what the latter said, "I can't believe you analyzed me so correctly . I've liked butterflies since I was a little girl, and my family and colleagues all thought that I only liked them because they were pretty, but that's not the reason . Butterflies are very ugly when they're caterpillars, and they move very slowly . Other bugs frown upon them because they look so insignificant… but they persevere . No matter how you treat them or mock them, they will still survive metamorphosis to finally become a beautiful creature . "
"You have a unique personality," Huo Mian exclaimed .
"Don't mix up my attitude with my personality . My personality comes from who I am as a person, but my attitude is based on who you are . "
"Uhm… you have a point, I actually have nothing to say to that . "
Huo Mian suddenly noticed that not only did Jiang Xiaowei have a high EQ, she was also good with words .
Even Huo Mian, who liked to throw around Chicken Soup for the Soul quotes, had to admit defeat in front of her… .
Just then, Jiang Xiaowei looked at her watch, "It's time, I have other things to tend to, so I'll be going now . Let's get dinner in a few days . "
"Okay . "
Just as Jiang Xiaowei stood up to leave…
Huo Mian suddenly thought of something, and she shouted, "Wait . "
Jiang Xiaowei turned around…
Huo Mian took out a box of Longjing tea and handed it to her . "Here, consider this as a gift for my new friend . "
Jiang Xiaowei froze for a second, and then she accepted the tea with a smile on her face .
After Jiang Xiaowei left, Huo Mian wrapped up the brooch and placed it into her bag . Jiang Xiaowei was truly a very strange girl .
However oddly enough, Huo Mian liked her very much . Maybe Director Wu was right, maybe they were similar people .
When she saw Jiang Xiaowei and how arrogant she was just now, it reminded her of herself, 7 years ago…
