Reborn Troops

At this moment, the door of the shop was pushed open again, and Mr. Zhou walked in with anticipation on his face, "My abacus..."

Before he finished speaking, his eyes were attracted by the golden abacus on the workbench. He walked closer, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head with admiration in his eyes, "You are really amazing, this is the most exquisite abacus I have ever seen."

Zhou Wanwan showed a tired but satisfied smile on her face, "Thank you for your recognition, I tried my best."

Mr. Zhou nodded, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Wanwan, "This is extra compensation, you deserve it."

Zhou Wanwan took the envelope, her heart filled with gratitude. She knew that this was not only a recognition of her craftsmanship, but also an affirmation of her persistence and hard work...

Zhou Wanwan carefully packed the golden abacus and handed it to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou's eyes were full of admiration. He took the abacus and gently stroked it, as if feeling its exquisite craftsmanship.

"Your craftsmanship is unmatched." Mr. Zhou praised, "I have a friend who is also a collector of abacus. I think he will be interested in your work."

Zhou Wanwan smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your recommendation. If there is a chance, I would be happy to show my work."

Mr. Zhou nodded, then took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Wanwan, "This is his contact information, you can contact him directly."

Zhou Wanwan took the business card with a hint of anticipation in her heart. She knew that this was a good opportunity to expand her business.

After seeing Mr. Zhou off, Zhou Wanwan decided to take a break. She sat on the sofa in the studio, closed her eyes, and tried to relax her tense nerves. However, her thoughts unconsciously drifted to the business card.

Just then, Qianqian came back, her face full of fatigue, "Wanwan, I've finished my family affairs, how are you doing?"

Zhou Wanwan opened her eyes and replied with a smile, "Everything is fine, the golden abacus has been completed. By the way, Mr. Zhou gave me a contact number, saying that he is an abacus collector, I want to give it a try."

Qianqian came over and sat next to her. "This is a good opportunity. When do you plan to contact him?"

Zhou Wanwan checked the time and said, "I want to contact her now and see if we can arrange a time to meet."

Qianqian nodded, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

Zhou Wanwan picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card. A gentle voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, I'm Mr. Li."

After Zhou Wanwan introduced herself, Mr. Li seemed very interested. "I have heard of your name. I really want to see your golden abacus."

The two quickly agreed on a time and place to meet. After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan felt excited. She knew that this might be another turning point in her career.

The next day, Zhou Wanwan brought several carefully selected works to the agreed coffee shop. Mr. Li was already waiting there, and he looked gentler than he had on the phone.

"Nice to meet you." Mr. Li stood up and extended his hand to shake hands with Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan responded with a smile, "Nice to meet you too, Mr. Li."

After the two sat down, Zhou Wanwan showed her works. Mr. Li carefully observed each work and nodded in praise from time to time.

"Your craftsmanship is really superb." Mr. Li praised, "I have a special commission, I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhou Wanwan's heart moved, "Excuse me, what kind of commission is it?"

Mr. Li took out a design from his bag and handed it to Zhou Wanwan, "This is a very special abacus. I hope you can make it."

Zhou Wanwan took the design and looked at it carefully. The abacus on the design was very complicated, requiring not only superb craftsmanship but also innovative thinking.

"This design is very unique. I need some time to think about it." Zhou Wanwan said seriously.

Mr. Li nodded. "Of course, I understand. If you decide to accept this commission, I will provide all the necessary support."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Wanwan left the cafe with the design drawings. She knew that this commission would be a huge challenge, but it was also an opportunity to show her talent.

Back in the studio, Zhou Wanwan put the design on the workbench and began to carefully study every detail. She knew that this would be a long and difficult process, but she was ready.

Night falls again, and Zhou Wanwan's studio is brightly lit. She sits at the workbench, holding the design in her hands, with a determined light in her eyes. She knows that no matter how many difficulties lie ahead, she will overcome them one by one...

Zhou Wanwan stands in her jewelry store, surrounded by all kinds of jewelry, each of which sparkles with a unique brilliance. Her store is not big, but every inch of space reveals her care and creativity. Zhou Wanwan firmly believes that originality is the key to her store's uniqueness.

On this day, Zhou Wanwan received a special order from her old customer Zhou Di. Zhou Di is a picky buyer who always pursues unique designs. This time, he hopes Zhou Wanwan can design a bracelet to symbolize good luck.

"Zhou Wanwan, I need a bracelet that can bring good luck. You have to design a special one for me." Zhou Di's voice sounded a little anxious on the other end of the phone.

"Don't worry, Zhou Di, I will give you a surprise." Zhou Wanwan answered confidently.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan fell into deep thought. She needed inspiration, a design that could touch people's hearts. Just then, a spider slowly crawled towards her from the ceiling, attracting her attention.

"Wanwan, look at that spider. In ancient times, it represented auspicious luck that came from heaven." My best friend Qianqian said, pointing at the spider.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she decided to incorporate the spider element into the bracelet design. She began to get busy, carefully selecting materials and polishing every detail. A few days later, a spider-themed bracelet was born.

When Zhou Wanwan showed the bracelet to Zhou Di, she was full of expectations. However, Zhou Di's reaction was beyond her expectations.

"What is this? A spider? I hate spiders the most!" Zhou Di's tone was filled with obvious disappointment and dissatisfaction.

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank. She didn't expect that her elaborate plan would be rejected like this. She tried to explain, but Zhou Di had already turned and left, leaving her alone in the store.

"Wanwan, don't be discouraged. Your design is very creative. It's just that Zhou Di doesn't like spiders." Qianqian comforted.

Zhou Wanwan nodded. She knew that every failure was the foundation for the next success. She decided to start over and look for new inspiration...

Zhou Wanwan sat at her workbench, holding the bracelet that Zhou Di had rejected, feeling mixed emotions. She knew that every designer would encounter moments of not being understood, but this time the blow was particularly heavy for her. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Wanwan, you can't give up like this. Your talent shouldn't be buried just because one person doesn't like it." Qianqian sat next to her with a firm tone.
