Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian stood at the door of the store, looking at her back, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Wanwan, it seems that we have a good match." Qianqian said with a smile.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, "Yes, but we still have to keep working hard."

The two returned to the store and continued to work. Time passed unnoticed and the lights in the store gradually dimmed.

"Wanwan, what do you think of this?" Qianqian picked up a macaron brooch inlaid with green gems and handed it to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan took the brooch and examined it carefully for a while. "This green gemstone matches the yellow color of the macaron a little too much."

Qianqian frowned, "Then let's try other colors."

The two of them worked hard for a while and finally found a few satisfactory combinations.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the brooches on the table and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Qianqian, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might still be spinning in circles." Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.

Qianqian waved her hand, "You're welcome, we are best friends. But I think we can try some bolder combinations."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, "You're right, let's try again."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian decided to visit Master Zhongshan, hoping to get his guidance.

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

The two came to Master Zhongshan's studio with great anticipation, bringing with them several brooches of their own design.

The studio is located in an antique courtyard filled with various flowers and plants, and the air is filled with a faint floral fragrance.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian walked into the yard and saw Master Zhongshan sitting at a stone table, holding a cup of tea in his hand and sipping it leisurely.

"Master Zhongshan, hello! We are here to ask you for advice." Zhou Wanwan said respectfully.

Master Zhongshan raised his head and saw the two young girls. He smiled and said, "Hello, please take a seat."

After the two sat down, Zhou Wanwan handed the brooches she brought to Master Zhongshan, "These are a few brooches we designed recently. I hope you can give us some suggestions."

Master Zhongshan took the brooch, examined it carefully for a while, and then nodded. "Not bad, your design is very creative, and the color combination is also very novel. However, I noticed that you still have some shortcomings in the processing of details."

Qian Qian asked nervously, "Master, can you tell me more about this?"

Master Zhongshan picked up a macaron brooch inlaid with green gemstones. "For example, this brooch, the combination of green gemstones and yellow macarons is bold, but you are not careful enough in the cutting and inlaying of gemstones, which makes the overall effect a bit abrupt."

Zhou Wanwan listened carefully, "Then how should we improve it?"

Master Zhongshan put down the brooch and said, "First, you need to be more careful in cutting the gemstones to ensure that the luster and shape of each gemstone are perfectly presented."

"Secondly, in terms of setting technology, you can try to use more complex setting techniques, such as micro-setting or bezel setting, which can make the gemstone more stable and also highlight the beauty of the gemstone."

Qianqian nodded thoughtfully, "We understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master."

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "You're welcome. Design is an art that requires continuous learning and practice. You are still young and have many opportunities to try and innovate."

"However, I suggest that when designing, you should not only pursue superficial splendor, but also pay attention to the inner emotional expression."

Zhou Wanwan was a little confused, "Emotional expression?"

Qianqian suddenly realized, "So that's why. We really only focused on the exterior design and ignored the inner emotional expression."

Master Zhongshan stood up, walked to the display cabinet nearby, and took out one of his own works. "This is a brooch I designed recently. Take a look."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian took the brooch and saw that it was inlaid with a crystal clear sapphire surrounded by a circle of tiny diamonds. The overall design was simple and elegant.

"The design inspiration of this brooch came from a trip I took. I saw beautiful blue waves at the seaside, so I incorporated this feeling into the design," explained Master Nakayama.

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were both attracted by the beauty of the brooch, and also felt the emotional expression that Master Zhongshan talked about.

"Thank you, Master. We understand." Zhou Wanwan said gratefully.

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded. "When you go back, you can try to find inspiration from life and design works with more emotion. I believe you will make greater progress."

The two said goodbye to Master Sun Yat-sen and returned to their own studios.

Along the way, they thought about Master Zhongshan's words and decided to re-examine their designs.

After returning to the studio, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian began to redesign the brooch.

This time, they no longer focus only on the gorgeous appearance, but try to incorporate emotions and stories in life into the design.

A few days later, they designed a brand new brooch.

This brooch is inspired by a blooming rose, whose petals are inlaid with red and pink gemstones and the centerpiece is a sparkling diamond.

The whole design is gorgeous yet elegant, full of romantic emotions.

"Wanwan, what do you think of this brooch?" Qianqian asked nervously.

Zhou Wanwan looked at it carefully for a while and nodded with satisfaction, "I think it's very good. This brooch is not only beautiful in appearance, but also full of emotion."

The two decided to display the brooch in the store, hoping that it would be recognized by customers.
