Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in the corner of the jewelry store, holding a thick diamond appraisal book in her hands, her brows furrowed.

Her shop is not big, but every inch of the space is filled with exquisite jewelry, ranging from ordinary silver jewelry to expensive diamonds.

However, business today seemed particularly quiet, with only a few customers occasionally walking by without even glancing at the store.

"Wanwan, are you studying those diamonds again?"

A shallow voice came from the door, and she walked in with a bag of freshly bought fruits in her hand, smiling.

Zhou Wanwan looked up at her and said with a wry smile, "Yes, business hasn't been good recently. I want to learn more about diamonds and see if I can design some new styles."

Qianqian put down the fruit, walked to Zhou Wanwan, and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry too much, business will always have ups and downs. By the way, I just saw a customer outside, he looks quite wealthy, maybe he will buy your jewelry."

Before Zhou Wanwan could answer, the sound of high heels was heard at the door.

A woman in a black dress walked in with a mysterious smile on her face and a confidence in her eyes that could not be ignored.

"Excuse me, can I customize jewelry here?" The woman's voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying an irresistible magic.

Zhou Wanwan quickly stood up and replied with a smile: "Of course, do you have any special requirements?"

The woman smiled slightly, took out a design from her bag, and handed it to Zhou Wanwan: "I hope you can design a necklace with colored diamonds. The shape should be like a snake, showing luxury."

Zhou Wanwan took the design drawing, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but frowned.

The snake necklace in the design is very complicated. The arrangement and inlay of colored diamonds require extremely high skills, and the overall sense of luxury must also be taken into consideration.

"This design is very unique, but also very difficult," Zhou Wanwan hesitated, "and colored diamonds are expensive. Are you sure you want to customize it?"

The woman nodded and said firmly: "It doesn't matter how much it costs. I just hope that this necklace can show my luxury and make me the focus in any occasion."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and felt unprecedented pressure.

She knew that if this necklace could be successfully produced, it would not only increase the store's popularity, but also bring in a considerable amount of income.

But if it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

"I'll do my best," Zhou Wanwan finally made up her mind, "but it will take some time to prepare the materials and design plans."

The woman nodded with satisfaction and left a business card: "My name is Qiu Wanru, this is my contact information, I hope you can give me a reply as soon as possible."

Looking at Qiu Wanru's leaving back, Zhou Wanwan felt inexplicably nervous.

She knew that this was not just a challenge of a necklace, but also a battle of skills and psychology.

Qianqian came over and patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I believe you can do it. However, this design is indeed very complicated. How do you plan to start?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed and shook her head: "I don't know either, but I know I have to do my best."

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan spent almost all her time studying colored diamonds and design plans.

She read a lot of information, consulted many industry experts, and even went to the diamond market in person to select the best quality colored diamonds.

However, as time went on, Zhou Wanwan's anxiety became more and more intense.

She found that she could never grasp the design of the snake, and the arrangement and inlay of colored diamonds could never achieve the ideal effect.

It was at this time that Zhou Wanwan decided to consult her teacher, Master Zhongshan.

Master Zhongshan is a well-known jewelry designer in the industry, famous for his exquisite craftsmanship and unique creativity.

Zhou Wanwan called Master Zhongshan and briefly explained the situation. Master Zhongshan agreed to visit her shop the next day.

The next morning, Master Sun Yat-sen arrived as promised.

He was wearing a simple gray shirt and had a kind smile on his face, giving people a sense of intimacy.

"Wanwan, what difficulties have you encountered?" Master Zhongshan asked as soon as he entered the door.

Zhou Wanwan quickly handed him the design and explained her confusion in detail: "Teacher, I can never grasp the design of this snake shape, and the arrangement and inlay of colored diamonds can never achieve the ideal effect."

Master Zhongshan looked at the design carefully and nodded: "This design is indeed very challenging, but it is not unsolvable. Have you ever considered starting with the dynamics of the snake?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "Dynamics?"

“Yes,” Master Nakayama explained. “The shape of a snake is fluid, and you can try to express this fluidity with the arrangement of colored diamonds. For example, use gradient colors to simulate the scales on a snake, or use diamonds of different sizes to express the curves of the snake.”

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, as if she had found a new direction. She immediately took out a pen and paper and began to redesign according to Master Zhongshan's suggestions.

Master Zhongshan watched from the side and gave some suggestions from time to time: "You can use a bigger diamond here to highlight the head of the snake, so that it will have a more layered effect."

After several hours of hard work, Zhou Wanwan finally completed a new design plan. She handed the design to Master Zhongshan and looked at him expectantly.

Master Zhongshan took a closer look and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, this design is much better than the previous one. However, you still need to work harder on the details, such as the treatment of the snake's eyes, to make it look more vivid."

Zhou Wanwan nodded repeatedly, her heart full of gratitude: "Thank you, teacher. I will definitely continue to work hard."
