âWhat⦠Mayor⦠Mayor Songâs daughter? I donât know her at all.â The director stammered, clearly caught off-guard.
âOh, thatâs alright then.â
The corners of Huo Mianâs lip curled upwards as if all the answers were apparent as could be.
Ever since she began working in the Neurology Department, she became more aware of microexpressions. For example, when a patient was nervous, they would tug on the corners of their shirts. When a patient was angry, they would clinch their fists. When a patient was lying, their eyes would shift around.
Therefore, when the director denied knowing Song Yishi, Huo Mian saw right through her.
It seemed like âThe Strongest Brain in Historyâ was a set-up from the very beginning.
Huo Mian suddenly remembered her encounter with Song Yishi a couple of days ago. They ran into each other at the entrance of a seafood restaurant. Song Yishi was tipsy at the time and even challenged Huo Mian to an IQ showdown.
At the time, Huo Mian thought that Song Yishi acted that way because she was drunk.
It turned out that woman meant every word. Why would she be interested in something so meaningless and childish? Was she kidding?
Huo Mian felt speechlessâ¦
Since she was already there, however, she wasnât about to cower.
A woman with Song Yishiâs intelligence was no match for her. Even if there were 10 Song Yishis on stage, she would still beat them all.
A personâs IQ wasnât something that could be increased. It wasnât something that could be improved overnight by gobbling brainfood.
Huo Mianâs IQ was all talentâ¦
It was a generous gift from God, something that made up for her previous 20-something tumultuous years of life.
Huo Mian knew that God was fairâ¦
If he gave you something amazing, he will also take away something equally good.
Caterpillars are ugly and slow, but that kept them safe since no one wants to touch them.
Butterflies are beautiful and fly quickly, but thatâs because many animals, including humans, are after them.
If they ever slowed down, they would die immediatelyâ¦
It was the law of natureâ¦
Huo Mian never felt superior to anyone because of her high IQ. Instead, she always worked hard to achieve her goals.
She was where she was at not because of luck, but because of hard work.
Success never came easily, and no one is always lucky.
After her makeup was done, Huo Mian went on stage and discovered an audience of 800 people.
This was the introduction she received: âMiss Huo Mian, 24 years of age, is a chief physician in the neurology department of South Side Recuperation Center. Sheâs married to Qin Chu, the current president of GK. When she was in high school, she was known as a genius girl. Today, we will find out just how amazing she is!â
The intro seemed glorious on the outside but was in actuality a set-up for something later onâ¦
Huo Mian knew that Song Yishi wanted to embarrass her; the latter wanted to show everyone that she wasnât all that impressive and that it was just all talkâ¦
With a smile, Huo Mian walked onto the stage and waved to everyone. She then sat down in her designated chair.
Other than Huo Mian, there were eleven other contestants, all deemed geniuses, both men and women.
Song Yishi wasnât in the group, but Huo Mian knew that these people were only appetizersâ¦
After the host finished his introduction, the lightning round began.
Huo Mian made sure to stay in the middle to upper rankings, refraining from doing her best.
The series of challenges took nearly an hour.
Finally, Huo Mian entered the final four, where the real competition began.
After eliminating the other three competitors, she was the only one leftâ¦
At this time, the host announced, âMrs. Qin, in front of you is the Gate of Dreams. Once you open it, you will receive a million-yuan prize. Before this, however, there is still one more challenger waiting for you. Are you ready?â
With so many people watching, how could she say no?
Smiling, she nodded. âOf course.â
Immediately after, Song Yishi came in from another entrance. She was dressed in a white evening gown and had on crystal high heels.
Her hair was lightly curled; she had dressed herself up as a goddessâ¦
For some odd reason, the first thought that entered Huo Mianâs mind upon seeing her was â this woman was trying to hard to look all innocentâ¦
