Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood in front of the counter of the jewelry store, holding a piece of red paper in her hand, her eyes focused.

Her best friend Qianqian sat beside her, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, glancing at Zhou Wanwan from time to time with a smile on her lips.

"What are you looking at?" Qianqian couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head, a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes: "I'm looking at this jewelry design, this design is so beautiful!"

Qianqian looked at the red paper in Zhou Wanwan's hand. There was a picture of an exquisite phoenix on it. The phoenix's wings were inlaid with countless gems, which were dazzling.

"Did you design this?" Qianqian asked in surprise.

Zhou Wanwan nodded: "Yes, this is my latest design. I want to make this phoenix into a piece of jewelry, but I don't know which gemstone to choose yet."

Qianqian looked at the design of the phoenix and suddenly thought of a possibility: "Do you want to use the representative stone of the phoenix to inlay it?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned, then clapped her hands and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that!"

So, the two of them began to discuss, with countless ideas flashing in Zhou Wanwan's eyes, while Qianqian listened on the side and put forward her own opinions from time to time.

"Wanwan, can this carp window paper-cut pendant of yours really help your business prosper?" Qianqian asked with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and glared at Qianqian, "Don't disbelieve me, I have studied this for a long time. The carp leaping over the dragon gate has a great meaning."

Qianqian put down her teacup and moved closer. "Then tell me, how does this carp jump?"

Zhou Wanwan spread out the red paper in her hand. On it was a picture of a lifelike carp with its tail slightly raised, as if it would jump out of the paper in the next second.

"Look, I lengthened the tail of this carp on purpose, implying that the raw fish can jump up like a carp."

Qianqian nodded, "It sounds good, but you've had this store for two years, why did you suddenly think of this?"

Zhou Wanwan sighed, "Business is not good. There are fewer and fewer customers recently. I have to think of something new."

Qianqian patted Zhou Wanwan's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, take your time. I'll help you promote your carp pendant."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Qianqian."

A few days later, Qianqian came to the jewelry store with a few friends.

Zhou Wanwan was busy at the counter. When she saw Qianqian come in, she hurried to greet her.

"Qianqian, you're here." Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.

Qianqian nodded, "I brought a few friends to see your carp pendant."

Zhou Wanwan quickly took out a few pieces of red paper and handed them to Qianqian's friends, "Look, this carp pendant has a good meaning and is finely crafted."

One of the friends took the red paper and looked at it carefully. "This carp is really well drawn, Wanwan, your skills are good."

One of the friends took the red paper and looked at it carefully. "This carp is really well drawn, Wanwan, your skills are good."

Zhou Wanwan smiled modestly, "Thank you for the compliment, but this carp pendant is not only well-painted, but more importantly, its meaning."

Another friend curiously asked, "What's the meaning?"

Zhou Wanwan explained: "The carp leaping over the dragon gate symbolizes a booming business and a soaring career. You see, the tail of this carp is particularly long, which means that the business can leap up like a carp."

After hearing this, the friends all nodded in agreement. One of them said, "Then I'll buy one. I hope my business can also take off like a carp."

Zhou Wanwan happily took out an exquisite carp pendant and handed it to the friend, "I wish your business prospers!"

Just then, there was a commotion at the door of the store. Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian turned around and saw a middle-aged man walking in with a few young people.

The middle-aged man looked around, and his eyes finally fell on the carp pendant in Zhou Wanwan's hand. He walked forward and asked, "What is this?"

Zhou Wanwan quickly explained: "This is a new carp pendant launched in our store. It means carp leaping over the dragon gate, which symbolizes a prosperous business."

The middle-aged man listened, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, "Interesting, give me one."

Zhou Wanwan quickly took out a carp pendant and handed it to the middle-aged man, "Sir, I wish you a prosperous business."

The middle-aged man took the pendant, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."

At this moment, a young man behind the middle-aged man suddenly said, "Boss, this carp pendant looks good, but our company is also looking for some unique gifts recently. I wonder if you can customize a batch?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "Of course! We can customize different styles and quantities of carp pendants according to your needs."

The middle-aged man listened and nodded. "Okay, our company needs a batch of customized carp pendants, the quantity is about 500. Can you make them?"

Zhou Wanwan said excitedly: "No problem! We can arrange production as soon as possible."
