Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan was sitting in her jewelry store with Ms. Huang Yue's order in her hand.

On the street outside the store, pedestrians were hurrying and the wind was biting cold, but the heating inside the store made people feel a little warm.

She looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already late, but she still had no design inspiration.

"Wanwan, are you still worried about that order?" Qianqian pushed the door open with a cup of hot coffee in her hand.

"Yes, Qianqian, I have no idea how to design this pendant necklace with the theme of a winter fireplace bonfire." Zhou Wanwan sighed, took the coffee and took a sip.

Qianqian sat opposite her and said with a smile: "You know, sometimes inspiration comes inadvertently. Think about it, the fireplace and bonfire in winter, aren't they symbols of warmth and hope?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but the worry on her face did not disappear. "I know, but I still don't know how to incorporate this feeling into jewelry design."

Qianqian thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Wanwan, do you still remember that winter when we were little? We were together in the old house in the countryside, sitting around the fireplace, listening to grandpa telling stories. The firelight at that time was warm and bright. Isn't it very similar to the inspiration we need now?"

Zhou Wanwan's eyes also lit up. She put down her coffee cup, stood up, walked to the workbench, picked up a pencil and a piece of paper, and began to sketch.

Her speed became faster and faster, and the expression on her face became more and more relaxed...

"Qianqian, you're right. I should look for inspiration from those warm memories." She said as she painted, "I want to design a pendant with a burning flame in the middle and warm tones such as orange and red around it to express the warmth of a campfire."

In Zhou Wanwan's studio, the lighting is soft and her past designs are hung on the walls, each of which is full of her hard work and creativity.

She stood in front of the workbench, sketching quickly on the paper with the pencil in her hand, as if trying to capture the inspiration in her heart one by one.

Qianqian sat aside, watching quietly and occasionally offering some suggestions.

"Wanwan, what do you think about adding some tiny golden particles around the flames? This will better show the flickering of the fire."

Zhou Wanwan stopped writing, thought carefully, and then nodded in agreement: "Good idea, Qianqian. This will not only increase the visual layering, but also make the entire design more vivid."

The two were discussing enthusiastically when suddenly, the door of the studio was pushed open and Ms. Huang Yue walked in.

She was wearing a noble fur coat and had an expectant smile on her face.

"I heard that you are designing a special pendant necklace for me. How is the progress?" There was a hint of urgency in Ms. Huang Yue's voice.

Zhou Wanwan put down the pencil in her hand and walked forward with a smile: "Ms. Huang, thank you very much for your trust. My assistant Qianqian and I are working hard to design a pendant that can perfectly reflect the theme of winter fireplace bonfire. Please wait a moment, I will show you our preliminary design."

She turned and walked to the workbench, picked up the sketch she had just completed and handed it to Ms. Huang Yue.

Ms. Huang Yue took the sketch and looked at it carefully. The expression on her face gradually changed from anticipation to surprise.

"This... this is so beautiful!" Ms. Huang Yue praised. "Your design completely captures the feeling of winter warmth and hope that I want. The flame design and the golden particles are just like a real campfire flickering."

In Zhou Wanwan's studio, the atmosphere was warm yet tense.

Ms. Huang Yue's praise encouraged Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian, but Ms. Huang's additional requirements also brought new challenges.

"Ms. Huang, your suggestion is very valuable." Zhou Wanwan responded with a smile, "We can add a ruby ​​in the center of the flame, which will not only add a sense of luxury, but also better symbolize the heat and vitality of the flame."

Ms. Huang Yue nodded in agreement, her eyes sparkling with a desire for a perfect work. "I trust your vision and craftsmanship. Please make this pendant a highlight in my winter wardrobe."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian exchanged a firm look, then quickly returned to the workbench and began to rethink the design.

Qianqian suggested: "Wanwan, we can try to inlay some small diamonds on the edge of the flame, which can not only increase the glossiness, but also simulate the effect of the jumping flame."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her fingers moving quickly on the paper, sketching out a new design.

"That's a good idea, Qianqian. We can also carve some delicate textures on the back of the pendant, such as branches or snowflakes, which will better echo the winter theme."

The two were immersed in the joy of creation when the door of the studio was suddenly pushed open again. This time, it was Zhou Wanwan's assistant Xiao Li who came in.
