Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her small jewelry store, the sunlight shone through the half-closed curtains, dappling on the delicate jewelry. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, her brows furrowed. Today, she received a special order, a challenge she had never tried before, which was to combine pearls with nail art.

"This is simply a fantasy!" Zhou Wanwan said to herself, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

At this moment, her best friend Abu pushed the door open, looking exhausted. Abu was a forthright girl who always showed up when Zhou Wanwan needed her most.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Your frown is so frowning that it can kill a fly." Abu walked over with a smile and sat down opposite Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan sighed and handed the order to Abu. "Look, this order requires me to combine pearls and manicures. I have been making jewelry for so many years, and I have never encountered such a request."

Abu took the order, looked at it carefully, and then laughed. "Isn't this interesting? Wanwan, you are always too rigid about tradition. Give it a try, maybe you can start a new trend."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't do it. It's too difficult."

Abu patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm here for you. Let's work together to find a solution. Just think about it, if you really succeed, your store will become famous."

Zhou Wanwan was inspired by Abu's words and began to think seriously about this challenge. The two sat in the store and discussed it. Abu proposed many bold ideas, and Zhou Wanwan analyzed the feasibility of these ideas one by one from a professional perspective.

Time passed quietly during their discussion. The sun began to set and the light in the store became softer. Zhou Wanwan's eyes sparkled with a new light, and she seemed to have found the key to solving the problem.

"Abu, I got it! We can use micro pearls, combined with special glue, and stick them directly on the manicure. This will not affect the beauty of the manicure, and can also reflect the texture of the pearls." Zhou Wanwan said excitedly.

Zhou Wanwan's suggestion made Abu's eyes light up, and she immediately clapped her hands and cheered: "This is a great idea! Wanwan, you are such a genius!"

Zhou Wanwan also showed a long-lost smile on her face. She began to look for materials in the store, ready to try. Abu helped her, and the two of them were busy shuttling around in the store.

"We need to find the right glue and micro pearls," Zhou Wanwan said as she looked through the store's inventory.

Abu immediately took out his phone and started searching for nearby suppliers: "I remember there is a store in the south of the city that specializes in selling nail products. They may have what we need."

The two decided to act separately. Zhou Wanwan stayed in the store to prepare other materials, while Abu drove to the south of the city to purchase them.

Time was running out, and Zhou Wanwan was filled with anticipation and nervousness. She began to set up the workbench in the store and prepare various tools. Just then, the door was pushed open again, and a familiar figure walked in.

"Wanwan, I heard that you got a big order. Do you need help?" The person who came was another good friend of Zhou Wanwan, the manicurist Xiaoya.

Zhou Wanwan greeted him pleasantly: "Xiaoya, you came just in time! I was just worried that no one would help me."

Xiaoya smiled and patted Zhou Wanwan's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm here to make sure your pearl manicure shines."

The three of them divided the work among themselves. Zhou Wanwan was responsible for the selection and processing of pearls, Xiaoya was responsible for the design and production of manicures, and Abu was responsible for logistics and material procurement.

As time went by, the first pearl nail art gradually took shape. Zhou Wanwan carefully attached the micro pearls to the nails, while Xiaoya guided her to ensure that every step was flawless.

"Look, how about the effect?" Zhou Wanwan showed the finished work to Xiaoya and Abu.

Xiaoya and Abu were amazed, "It's so beautiful! Wanwan, you are so talented!"

However, just as the three were immersed in the joy of success, an unexpected news broke their good mood. Abu received a call and his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong, Abu?" Zhou Wanwan asked with concern.

Abu hung up the phone and sighed, "It's the supplier. They said the special glue we need is out of stock. It will take until next week to restock it at the earliest."

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Zhou Wanwan, and her mood instantly fell to the bottom. Without the right glue, the pearl nail art plan could not go on.

Seeing this, Xiaoya immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Wanwan, we still have time, we can definitely find a solution."

The three of them sat down again and started brainstorming. Abu proposed the idea of ​​trying other types of glue, and Xiaoya suggested that they could temporarily use alternatives as long as it did not affect the final effect.

Although Zhou Wanwan was anxious, she decided not to give up after seeing the determination and support of her two friends. She began to search online for possible alternatives.

Just then, Xiaoya's cell phone rang. She answered the call with a look of surprise on her face: "Really? That's great!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiaoya excitedly said to Zhou Wanwan and Abu, "It's a friend of mine who works in a chemistry lab. They have a new type of glue that can be used to stick pearls together, and it works really well!"

This news gave Zhou Wanwan hope again. She immediately contacted Xiaoya's friends to confirm the performance and supply of the glue.

After some efforts, the three finally found a solution to the problem. They decided to go to the laboratory to get glue early the next morning and then continue making pearl nail art.

As night fell, Zhou Wanwan stood at the door of the store, looking at the starry sky, her heart full of expectations for the future. She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, as long as she had friends by her side, nothing would be impossible...

The next morning, as soon as the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Zhou Wanwan, Xiaoya and Abu drove to the laboratory. The scenery outside the car window quickly receded, and the three of them felt nervous and excited.

"Wanwan, are you sure this new type of glue can meet our needs?" Xiaoya asked while driving.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her tone firm: "My friend said that this glue has strong adhesion and dries quickly, which is very suitable for our pearl manicure."

Abu interjected, “As long as we can solve the glue problem, our pearl manicure can be completed on schedule.”

After arriving at the laboratory, Zhou Wanwan's friends received them warmly. Under the bright lights of the laboratory, they saw the bottle of new glue, which was transparent and sticky, and exuded a faint chemical smell.

"This is the glue we need. Thank you so much!" Zhou Wanwan said to her friend gratefully.

My friend smiled and waved his hand: "You're welcome. I'm glad I could help you. However, this glue is the first time I use it for nail art, so you still have to be careful when using it."

With the new glue, the three hurried back to the nail salon. Zhou Wanwan immediately began to try it out. She carefully applied the glue on the nails and then gently placed the pearls. The pearls were firmly fixed on the nails under the adhesion of the glue.

"Look, the effect is very good!" Zhou Wanwan excitedly showed it to Xiaoya and Abu.

Xiaoya and Abu both showed satisfied smiles, but at this moment, Abu's cell phone rang again, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong, Abu?" Zhou Wanwan asked with concern.

Abu hung up the phone and sighed, "It's the client. They suddenly asked for the pearl nail polish to be delivered in advance, saying they were going to attend an important event."

This news made Zhou Wanwan feel under great pressure. She looked at the time and found that there were less than two days left before the delivery time required by the customer.

Seeing this, Xiaoya immediately comforted her: "Don't worry, Wanwan, we will speed up and we will definitely be able to finish it on time."

The three immediately plunged into the intense work. Zhou Wanwan was responsible for the sticking of pearls, Xiaoya was responsible for the design of nail art, and Abu was responsible for logistics and the replenishment of materials. As time passed, the atmosphere in the nail salon became more and more tense.

Just then, the door of the shop was pushed open and a figure walked in. It was another good friend of Zhou Wanwan, the nail artist Xiaoling.

"Wanwan, I heard that you were in trouble, so I came to see if I could help." Xiaoling said.

Zhou Wanwan greeted her with surprise: "Xiaoling, you came just in time! We are just short of manpower."

Xiaoling immediately joined the work, and her arrival made Zhou Wanwan feel relieved. The four people divided the work and cooperated, which greatly improved the efficiency.

As time went by, each pearl nail art piece gradually took shape. Zhou Wanwan carefully pasted the micro pearls on the nails, while Xiaoya and Xiaoling guided her to ensure that every step was perfect.

"Look, how about the effect?" Zhou Wanwan showed the finished work to Xiaoya, Abu and Xiaoling.

The three of them were amazed, "It's so beautiful! Wanwan, you are so talented!"

However, the night before they were ready to deliver the work, an unexpected situation occurred. When Zhou Wanwan was checking the last work, she found that the color of the pearls did not match the customer's requirements.

"What should we do? We don't have time to remake it." Zhou Wanwan said anxiously.

Xiaoya and Xiaoling came over immediately, and the three of them began to discuss solutions urgently. Abu was on the phone, trying to contact the supplier to see if he could urgently transfer the goods.

Just when everyone was extremely anxious, Xiaoling suddenly thought of a solution: "We can dye the pearls with special pigments, which may solve the problem."

Zhou Wanwan and Xiaoya both thought this method was feasible, and the three of them took action immediately. They carefully applied the paint on the pearls and waited for it to dry.

After some efforts, the color of the pearls finally met the customer's requirements. Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that they had overcome another difficulty this time.

The next day, when the customer saw the exquisite pearl nail art, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Zhou Wanwan, Xiaoya, Abu and Xiaoling stood aside, feeling full of a sense of accomplishment.

"Wanwan, you did a great job!" the customer praised.

Zhou Wanwan smiled, she knew that all the hard work was worth it. She looked up at the window, the sun was shining brightly on the pearls...

Zhou Wanwan sat in her jewelry store, the sun shone through the bronze curtains onto the carefully displayed jewelry, each gemstone sparkled with a unique light. However, today, the order in her hand was like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.

"A combination of pearls and ink painting?" Zhou Wanwan murmured to herself, her fingers tapping lightly on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

"Wanwan, what's wrong with you?" Her best friend Abu pushed the door open and walked in, her voice filled with concern.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head, a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, "Abu, you came at the right time. I received an order. Mr. Zhao asked me to make a piece of jewelry using pearls and ink painting. This is too difficult, I have no idea at all."

Abu came over and patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Wanwan, you can always create miracles. Think about your amazing works in the past, you will definitely be able to do it this time too."

Zhou Wanwan smiled bitterly, "This time it's different, Abu. How do you combine the warmth of pearls and the agility of ink and wash, these two completely different beauties?"

Abu sat opposite her, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Wanwan, do you remember the art exhibition we had in college? The work you created with metal and silk, everyone said it was impossible, but you did it. This time, you can do it too."
