Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood in her jewelry store, her eyes swept over the sparkling ornaments, but her heart was heavy. Yu Shao's request was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making her breathless. Red bean bracelet, it sounds simple, but to make the red beans glow when you miss someone, this is simply a fantasy, and she even has no idea...

"Wanwan, you have to think of a way, this is a big business." Qianqian's voice interrupted her thoughts. Qianqian was Zhou Wanwan's good friend and a frequent customer of the store. She always cheered Zhou Wanwan up at critical moments.

"I know, Qianqian, but this is too difficult. How can red beans glow?" Zhou Wanwan sighed, frowning.

"Don't you always say that there is nothing that cannot be done, only things that cannot be imagined? Think of a way, Wanwan, you can do it." Qianqian patted Zhou Wanwan's shoulder, her eyes full of encouragement.

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and decided to accept the challenge. She began to study various materials and techniques, hoping to find a way to make the red beans glow. As the days passed, her efforts seemed to be in vain. The red beans were still the same ordinary red beans, without any change.

Just when Zhou Wanwan was about to give up, she found a clue by chance in an ancient book. The book recorded an ancient craft that could make certain substances glow under certain conditions. Zhou Wanwan was overjoyed and started to try it immediately.

After countless experiments, Zhou Wanwan finally succeeded. She made a red bean bracelet, and when Yu Shao missed Xiaoyu, the red beans on the bracelet would emit a soft light, like the stars in the night sky, warm and bright.

When Yu Shao saw the finished product, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Wanwan, you are amazing! Xiaoyu will definitely like it."

Zhou Wanwan smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart. She knew that this was not just a bracelet, but also a testimony of her love for Yu Shao and Xiao Yu.

"Wanwan, you did a great job." Qianqian looked at Zhou Wanwan with admiration in her eyes.

"Thank you, Qianqian. Without your encouragement, I might have given up long ago." Zhou Wanwan said gratefully.

"We are friends, and we should support each other." Qianqian said with a smile.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the red bean bracelet in her hand, her heart full of hope. She knew that this was just the beginning, and her jewelry store would become famous because of this bracelet...

Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store became famous because of the unique charm of the red bean bracelet, and customers came in an endless stream. However, as the bracelets sold well, Zhou Wanwan gradually felt uneasy.

One day, Yu Shao came to the store again, and his expression was more serious than before. "Wan Wan, I need to talk to you." Yu Shao's voice was low, making Zhou Wan Wan feel nervous.

"Mr. Yu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with the bracelet?" Zhou Wanwan asked cautiously.

Yu Shao shook his head and said, "No, the bracelet is very good, Xiaoyu likes it very much. However, I recently heard some rumors about the bracelet, saying that it is not just an ornament, but also hides some mysterious power."

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank. The thing she was most worried about had happened. "Master Yu, that's just nonsense. The reason why the bracelet can glow is because I used a special process."

Yu Shao looked at Zhou Wanwan with doubt in his eyes, "Wanwan, I believe you, but you also know that this world is always full of curiosity and fear about unknown things. I'm worried that this will bring you trouble."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and decided to confess everything to Yu Shao. "Yu Shao, in fact, the luminous principle of the bracelet is indeed related to an ancient craft. This craft can stimulate the energy inside the material and produce light under certain conditions. But I promise that this will not cause any harm to the human body."

Yu Shao was silent for a while, then nodded, "I understand, Wanwan. I will do my best to help you quell these rumors. But you must also be careful not to let too many people know this secret."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Yu Shao gratefully, "Thank you, Yu Shao. I will pay attention."

Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store is located in the bustling city center, with people coming and going every day and business booming. She is a diligent businesswoman who always personally selects materials and designs new styles to ensure that every piece of jewelry can attract customers' attention. On this day, she encountered a problem.

Ms. Xu, a well-dressed middle-aged lady, walked into the store. Her eyes revealed an unquestionable sense of authority, and she said to Zhou Wanwan: "I need a bracelet that not only represents my rights, but also reflects my family status. Can you do it?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned. She had designed countless exquisite jewelry, but this was the first time she had encountered such a request. She frowned and fell into deep thought.

Just then, Qianqian, Zhou Wanwan's best friend and a talented designer, walked into the store. Seeing Zhou Wanwan's confusion, she asked, "Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you having any problems?"

Zhou Wanwan raised her head, a glimmer of hope in her eyes: “Yes, Ms. Xu wants a bracelet that represents power and family status, and I don’t know how to design it.”

Qianqian smiled slightly, with a spark of inspiration flashing in her eyes: "I have an idea, we can design a tiger bracelet. The tiger, as the king of beasts, symbolizes strength and authority, and also represents the guardian of the family."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. She thought this was a great idea. "Tiger bracelet, this is a great idea! Ms. Xu, what do you think?"

Ms. Xu pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Tiger, it is indeed a good choice. I look forward to seeing your design."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian began intensive design work. They selected the best quality materials and carefully carved every detail to ensure that the bracelet was both beautiful and symbolic.

However, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian also encountered many challenges during the design process. The selection of materials, the innovation of design, and the complexity of craftsmanship all required them to invest a lot of energy and effort in each link.

Just when they were about to finish the design, an unexpected news broke the peace. A bracelet that was very similar to their design suddenly appeared on the market, and the price was more affordable.

Zhou Wanwan felt unprecedented pressure and she didn't know what to do. Qianqian calmly analyzed: "We shouldn't be defeated by imitators. Our bracelets have unique meanings and meticulous craftsmanship, which they can't copy."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath. She decided to trust her design and believed that Ms. Xu could see their intentions.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian stood in front of the studio window, staring at the bustling street outside, their hearts filled with uncertainty. The similar bracelet on the market weighed on their hearts like a heavy stone.

"We have to make some changes to make our design more unique." Qianqian broke the silence, her voice firm and powerful.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes: "You are right, we can't just give up. We have to make this tiger bracelet not just a piece of jewelry, but a work of art."

In the following days, the two of them devoted themselves to more frantic design work. They decided to add some unique elements to the bracelet, such as using rare gemstones and more sophisticated engraving techniques.

"If we can add the family emblem to the bracelet, it will be a good selling point," Qianqian suggested.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea! Ms. Xu will definitely like this idea."

They immediately contacted Ms. Xu and proposed this suggestion to her. Ms. Xu was very interested: "Family emblem? This is really special. I look forward to seeing the finished product."

The design work started again, and Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian worked almost non-stop. They selected the best quality gemstones, and each one was carefully selected to ensure that their color and texture could be perfectly integrated into the design.

"How is this possible? We have already talked to Ms. Xu!" Zhou Wanwan said anxiously.

Qianqian calmly analyzed: "We have to find a replacement as soon as possible. Time waits for no one."

The two began looking around for alternative gemstone suppliers, but the options on the market were limited and the prices were far beyond their budget.

"We can't give up like this, we must find a solution," Zhou Wanwan said firmly.

Just when they were about to despair, Qianqian suddenly thought of a possible solution: "I remember my father has an old friend who is a gem collector. Maybe he can help us."

They immediately contacted the gem collector, and luckily, he was willing to help them. He provided some precious gems, although not in large quantities, enough to complete the design of the bracelet.

With these gems, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian finally completed the design of the tiger bracelet. Each gem on the bracelet shines with a unique light, and the carving of the family emblem is even more exquisite.

When Ms. Xu saw the bracelet, her eyes flashed with surprise: "This is more perfect than I thought. You really did it."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian smiled at each other. They knew that despite facing many difficulties, their efforts were not in vain...

"What should we do?" Zhou Wanwan felt powerless.

Qianqian held her hand tightly, with a determined light in her eyes: "We will not be defeated. Our bracelets have unique meanings and meticulous craftsmanship, which cannot be replicated by any brand."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath. She decided to trust her own design and also believed that Ms. Xu could see their intentions.

Qianqian held her hand tightly, with a determined light in her eyes: "We will not be defeated. Our bracelets have unique meanings and meticulous craftsmanship, which cannot be replicated by any brand."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath. She decided to trust her own design and also believed that Ms. Xu could see their intentions.

Zhou Wanwan stood in her small jewelry store, the sunlight outside the window shone through the mottled shadows of the trees, shining on the delicate jewelry, flashing an alluring light. Her fingers gently slid over each piece, each of which carried her hard work and dreams. However, she seemed a little absent-minded today, because a special order made her fall into deep thought.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you? You look absent-minded." Her best friend Qianqian pushed the door open and saw at a glance that something was wrong with Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head, frowning, "Qianqian, you came at the right time. I received an order. The customer asked me to design a bracelet that incorporates the clouds in the sky into the jewelry. I... I really don't know where to start."

Qianqian walked closer, picked up the design sketch on the table, and looked at it carefully. "Clouds? This is really a difficult problem. But, Wanwan, haven't you always liked the auspicious cloud totem in ancient China? Maybe we can start here."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, "Lucky cloud totem? Yes, why didn't I think of it!" She stood up excitedly and began to sketch it in the design book.

"Wait, Wanwan, don't be impatient." Qianqian held her hand. "Designing a bracelet is not as simple as drawing a pattern. You have to consider the material, craftsmanship, and how to make the lightness of the clouds appear."

Zhou Wanwan stopped writing and listened carefully to Qianqian's words. "You're right. I need to think about it carefully."

In the following days, Zhou Wanwan worked almost non-stop. She tried various materials, from traditional gold and silver to modern synthetic materials, each trying to capture the agility and elegance of the clouds. However, every attempt ended in failure, and her mood fell to the bottom with each failure.
