Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood behind the counter of her small jewelry store, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, but her eyes drifted out the window.

Her shop is located in a small alley in the old city. It is not big but is uniquely decorated. The walls are covered with all kinds of jewelry, from traditional jade to modern alloys.

"Wanwan, what are you daydreaming about again?" My best friend Qianqian pushed the door open and came in, holding a bag of snacks in her hand, and asked with a smile.

Zhou Wanwan came back to her senses and smiled: "Nothing, I just feel that business is not very good, a little annoying."

Qianqian put the snacks on the counter and took a closer look at the jewelry: "Your jewelry is very beautiful, why is your business not doing well? Is it because you don't promote it enough?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head: "We have done a lot of publicity, but I always feel like something is missing."

Qianqian picked up a necklace and looked at it carefully: "Why don't you try a new design? I remember you said before that you wanted to make something different."

Zhou Wanwan sighed: "I've thought about it, but I always feel like I haven't found the right inspiration."

Qianqian's eyes suddenly lit up: "By the way, I remember you said last time that you wanted to make jewelry in the shape of a vinegar bottle. I think that's quite interesting!"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then she started laughing: "Vinegar bottle? You really dare to think of it!"

Qianqian patted her shoulder and said, "Why not? Nowadays, people like new and novel things. If you make a piece of jewelry that looks like a vinegar bottle, it might become popular!"

Zhou Wanwan was moved by what she said, but she was a little hesitant: "But, isn't this vinegar bottle too vulgar?"

Qianqian shook her head: "It doesn't matter if it's vulgar or not, what matters is whether anyone likes it. Besides, haven't you always wanted to do something different? This is the chance!"

Zhou Wanwan pondered for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll try it."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan began to study the design of the vinegar bottle.

She found pictures of various vinegar bottles and carefully observed their shapes and textures.

She found that although the vinegar bottle looked simple, every detail had its own unique beauty.

She decided to incorporate these aesthetics into jewelry design.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan went to find Qianqian with her design draft.

Qianqian's eyes lit up when she saw it: "Wanwan, your design is amazing! The shape of this vinegar bottle, plus these details, is simply perfect!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "If you think it's okay, I'll start now."

Qianqian patted her shoulder and said, "Come on, I believe you can succeed!"

Zhou Wanwan started making jewelry, using the best materials and carefully polishing every detail.

A few days later, the first batch of vinegar bottle-shaped jewelry was finally completed.

Zhou Wanwan brought her design draft and the first batch of jewelry in the shape of vinegar bottles to Master Zhongshan's studio.

Master Zhongshan is a well-known jewelry designer in the industry. His works are not only well-known in China, but have also won many international awards.

Zhou Wanwan has always regarded him as her idol, and she feels very honored to receive his guidance this time.

Master Zhongshan's studio is located in an old building in the city center. The interior decoration is simple and artistic.

The walls are covered with his design sketches and award certificates, and the table is covered with various tools and materials.

Master Sun Yat-sen was sitting at the table, concentrating on looking at a design draft.

"Hello, Master Zhongshan." Zhou Wanwan greeted cautiously.

Master Zhongshan raised his head and saw that it was Zhou Wanwan. A gentle smile appeared on his face: "Wanwan, you are here. I heard from Qianqian that you are working on some new designs recently. Did you bring them?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and handed over the design and jewelry: "Yes, Master. This is the jewelry in the shape of a vinegar bottle that I designed recently. Please give me some advice."

Master Zhongshan took the design draft and looked at it carefully.

His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something. Zhou Wanwan stood nervously by the side, feeling very nervous.

"Well, the design is very creative." Master Zhongshan finally spoke, "But I think it can be improved."

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Master, what do you think needs to be improved?"

Master Zhongshan pointed to the shape of the vinegar bottle on the design and said, "Look, although the shape of this vinegar bottle is unique, the overall feeling is still a bit monotonous. You can try to add some more complex textures and details to make it look more layered."

Zhou Wanwan listened carefully and nodded from time to time: "I understand, Master. I will adjust the design again."

Master Zhongshan picked up another piece of jewelry and examined it carefully: "These pieces are well made. I can see that you put a lot of effort into it. However, I think the color combination could be bolder."

Zhou Wanwan hesitated: "Color matching? But I think the current colors are very harmonious."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Sometimes, bold attempts can bring unexpected results. You can try using some contrasting colors, such as black and gold, or red and silver."

Zhou Wanwan nodded thoughtfully: "I understand, Master. I will try it."

Master Zhongshan put down the jewelry and patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder: "Wanwan, your design has great potential. However, remember, design is not just about pursuing beauty, but also about having soul. You have to find your own style so that others can recognize it as your work at a glance."

Zhou Wanwan said gratefully: "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will work hard."

After leaving Master Sun Yat-sen's studio, Zhou Wanwan felt both excited and nervous.

She decided to readjust the design according to Master Zhongshan's advice.

She began experimenting with adding more textures and details, while also experimenting with color combinations.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan went to see Master Zhongshan again with new designs and jewelry.

This time, after seeing her work, Master Zhongshan showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Not bad, Wanwan. You've made rapid progress." Master Zhongshan said approvingly, "These designs are already very much in your style."

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment: "Thank you for the guidance, Master. I will continue to work hard."

Master Zhongshan nodded and said: "Remember, design is a process of continuous exploration and innovation. Don't be afraid of failure. Every failure is an opportunity to learn."
