Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sits in her small studio, surrounded by a variety of jewelry materials. Her fingers shuttle between the gems and metals, as if playing a silent movement. Although her studio is simple, every inch of space is filled with her love and persistence for jewelry design.

"Wanwan, have you heard? Ms. Caicai placed a strange order." My best friend's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of curiosity and excitement.

Zhou Wanwan stopped what she was doing and frowned, "What order?"

"She said she wanted a bracelet that could hold sugar and salt. She said the food in the cafeteria was tasteless, and she wanted to carry seasoning with her." There was a smile in Qianqian's voice, and she obviously thought this request was quite strange.

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then she curled her lips into a bitter smile, "This is quite creative, but I have to think about how to design it so that it is both practical and beautiful."

"Don't worry, Wanwan, you can do it." The gentle encouragement was like a spring breeze, making Zhou Wanwan feel a little more relaxed.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan fell into deep thought. She picked up a pen and sketched out several preliminary designs on paper. However, no matter how she drew, she always felt that those designs were either too abrupt or lacked the beauty that jewelry should have.

Just when she was about to give up, the door of the studio was gently pushed open and Qianqian walked in. She was holding a bag of snacks and said with a smile: "I brought some food, let's eat and talk."

Zhou Wanwan looked up at Qianqian and smiled helplessly, "Are you here to help me relax?"

Qianqian nodded, "Of course, I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately. Come, eat some chips and relax."

The two sat on the floor of the studio, eating snacks and chatting. The topic shifted from jewelry design to the latest gossip news, and then to the interesting things they experienced in college. Zhou Wanwan's mood gradually improved, and she felt that her inspiration seemed to be slowly returning.

"Qianqian, what do you think if I make sugar and salt into small beads and then string them on a bracelet?" Zhou Wanwan suddenly had an idea and came up with a new idea.

Qianqian's eyes lit up, "That's a good idea! It's both practical and beautiful, and it also maintains the integrity of the bracelet."

Zhou Wanwan immediately picked up the pen and started sketching again on the paper. This time, her design was smooth and natural, with every detail considered just right.

She drew an exquisite bracelet with several transparent beads, one filled with sugar and the other with salt.

"Perfect!" Qianqian couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as she looked at Zhou Wanwan's design.

Zhou Wanwan also showed a satisfied smile, "Thank you, Qianqian. Without your encouragement, I might have given up long ago."

Qianqian waved her hand, "We are best friends, why are we talking about this? But how do you plan to turn this design into reality?"

Zhou Wanwan's eyes flashed with determination, "I will find the right materials and technology to turn this design into reality. I will definitely complete Ms. Caicai's order."

In Zhou Wanwan's studio, sunlight shines through the window onto her design drawings. She is concentrating on studying how to incorporate small beads of sugar and salt into the design of the bracelet.

Qianqian sat aside, holding a fashion magazine in her hand, occasionally looking up at Zhou Wanwan, her eyes full of support and expectation.

"Wanwan, have you ever thought about what materials to use to make these small beads?" Qianqian put down the magazine and asked curiously.

Zhou Wanwan stopped writing and thought for a while, "I plan to use transparent resin, which can not only maintain the transparency of the beads, but also ensure that the sugar and salt will not be affected by moisture."

"It sounds good, but will the processing of resin be complicated?" Qianqian said a little worried.

"It is indeed a bit challenging, but I have contacted several suppliers to see if we can find a suitable solution." Zhou Wanwan's tone revealed determination.

Just then, the phone in the studio rang. Zhou Wanwan picked up the phone. It was Ms. Caicai calling.

"I heard that you were designing a special bracelet for me, and I'm really looking forward to it." Ms. Caicai's voice was filled with excitement.

"Yes, Ms. Caicai, I am working hard to design a bracelet that is both practical and beautiful." Zhou Wanwan responded.

"That's great. I have a suggestion. Wouldn't it be more interesting if the bracelet could have some small decorations, such as little stars or little moons?" Ms. Caicai put forward her idea.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, "This is a great idea. I will consider adding some small decorations."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan immediately added some small stars and small moon patterns to the design. Qianqian watched her actions and said with a smile: "It seems that Ms. Caicai's suggestion has given you new inspiration."

"Indeed, her suggestions make the entire design more vivid and interesting." Zhou Wanwan nodded with satisfaction.

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan was busy looking for a suitable resin supplier and processing technology. She tried many methods, but always encountered various problems, such as the lack of transparency of the resin, or the sugar and salt being easily affected by moisture during processing.

One night, Zhou Wanwan was sitting on the floor of the studio tiredly, looking at a pile of failed samples, feeling a little depressed. Qianqian walked in, saw her, and sat down beside her gently.

"Wanwan, don't be discouraged, we will definitely find a solution." Qianqian comforted.

Zhou Wanwan sighed, “I know, but this process is much more difficult than I thought.”

"Maybe we can change our thinking and find some professional processing plants to cooperate with to see if they have better technology." Qianqian suggested.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. "Yes, why didn't I think of that? We can find some professional processing factories to see if they have a better solution."

The next day, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian visited several professional processing plants together, and finally found a manufacturer with rich experience who were willing to help Zhou Wanwan solve technical problems.

After several rounds of trials and adjustments, Zhou Wanwan finally produced a satisfactory sample. The sugar and salt are clearly visible in the transparent resin beads, and the bracelet is dotted with small stars and small moons, which is both beautiful and practical.

When Zhou Wanwan handed the finished product to Ms. Caicai, she was pleasantly surprised, "You are so talented. This bracelet has completely exceeded my expectations!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled, feeling a sense of accomplishment in her heart, “Thank you for your support, Ms. Caicai, I’m glad you like it.”

Qianqian stood aside, watching the interaction between Zhou Wanwan and Ms. Caicai, and felt proud of her. She knew that along the way, Zhou Wanwan not only completed an order, but also took a solid step on the road of design and innovation.
