Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan was standing in her small jewelry shop. The walls were covered with all kinds of jewelry, from silver to gold, from simple earrings to complex necklaces.

However, her eyes rested on a pile of beeswax in the corner.

She recently bought these beeswax from an old friend. They come in various colors, from light yellow to deep red, and each piece looks like a work of art from nature.

"Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" A shallow voice came from the door. She pushed the door open with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Qianqian is Zhou Wanwan's college classmate and also her best friend. The two have been inseparable since their student days.

Zhou Wanwan turned around with an excited smile on her face: "Qianqian, you're here just in time! I've been researching how to make a chain bag with beeswax, what do you think?"

Qianqian put down her coffee, walked to Zhou Wanwan, and looked at the beeswax carefully: "Beeswax? This is a new thing. But are you sure it can attract customers?"

"I don't know either," Zhou Wanwan sighed, "but I think this is an opportunity.

The jewelry market is so saturated now, I have to find something new to attract customers.”

Qianqian nodded and said thoughtfully: "You are right, the market needs novelty. However, beeswax alone is not enough, you have to design a unique style to make people's eyes light up."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Qianqian, you are a master of design, how about you help me design a few?"

Qian Qian smiled and patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder: "Okay, I'll help you. But you have to treat me to a big meal."

"No problem!" Zhou Wanwan agreed readily.

In the next few days, Qianqian and Zhou Wanwan worked hard on designing together.

They tried various colors of beeswax, from simple solid-color chain bags to complex gradient designs, each one is full of creativity and beauty.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the designs, her heart full of anticipation.

However, just as they were about to put the design into practice, Zhou Wanwan received a call.

The person on the other end of the phone was an old customer of hers, and her tone was a little anxious: "Wanwan, I heard that you are researching beeswax jewelry recently, is it true?"

"Yes," Zhou Wanwan replied, "We are designing some beeswax chain bags."

"Great!" The customer's voice was filled with excitement. "I'm looking for a special gift recently, and the beeswax chain bag sounds just right for me. Can you make a sample as soon as possible?"

Zhou Wanwan was delighted and quickly agreed: "Of course, we will start making it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan excitedly said to Qianqian: "Qianqian, we have an order!"

Qianqian also smiled: "It seems that our design direction is correct."

However, just as they were about to start making it, Zhou Wanwan suddenly discovered a problem.

She picked up a piece of beeswax and examined it carefully: "Qianqian, although the color of this beeswax is beautiful, the texture is a bit uneven. I am worried that the chain bag I make will have flaws."

Qianqian frowned: "This is indeed a problem. How about we look for other suppliers?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head: "It's too late. The customer wants to get the sample as soon as possible. We have to find a way to solve this problem."

The two of them fell into deep thought. Suddenly, Qianqian had an idea: "Wanwan, we can use different colors of beeswax to splice, which can not only cover up the flaws in the texture, but also increase the layering of the design."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Good idea! Let's give it a try."

In the next few days, they began to try splicing with different colors of beeswax.

At first, the splicing effect was not ideal, the color transition between the beeswax was not natural enough, and the chain bag looked a bit abrupt.

But they did not give up. They adjusted the splicing method over and over again, and finally on the third night, they made the first perfect beeswax chain bag.

Zhou Wanwan picked up the chain bag, looked at it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face: "Qianqian, you are really a genius!"

Qianqian also smiled: "This is the result of our joint efforts."

However, just as they were about to send the samples to customers, Zhou Wanwan's phone rang again.

This time it was her supplier who called, with a hint of apology in her tone: "Wanwan, I just received news that there was a problem with the batch of beeswax you ordered earlier, and it may not be delivered on time."

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank: "How could this happen?"

“I don’t know the details,” the supplier explained, “but I can help you contact other suppliers to see if we can find a replacement.”

Zhou Wanwan hung up the phone, feeling heavy-hearted. She looked at the beeswax chain bag in her hand, feeling helpless.

Qianqian came over and patted her shoulder gently: "Wanwan, don't be discouraged. We still have time and we will definitely find a solution."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian sat in the corner of the jewelry store, both lost in thought.

Zhou Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. She looked down and saw a message from Master Zhongshan: "Wanwan, I heard that you are in trouble. Do you need help?"

Zhou Wanwan immediately responded: "Teacher, we did encounter some problems. Something went wrong with the supplier, and we may not be able to deliver on time."

Master Zhongshan quickly replied: "Don't worry, I know some reliable suppliers and can help you get in touch. Where are you now?"

Zhou Wanwan quickly replied with the address, and in less than half an hour, Master Zhongshan appeared at the door of the jewelry store.

He pushed the door open and walked in with a kind smile on his face: "Wanwan, Qianqian, long time no see."

"Teacher, why are you here?" Zhou Wanwan stood up in surprise.

"I heard you were in trouble, so I came to see if I could help."

Master Zhongshan walked over to them and looked carefully at the beeswax chain bag on the table. "These designs are very good and creative."

Qianqian smiled and said, "Teacher, you are too kind. We are worried about the supply of beeswax."
