Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her jewelry store, holding a worn-out trash clip in her hand and frowning.

This clip was an order she had just received from Ms. Huang Ni, who asked for a ruby ​​to be set on it.

Ms. Huang Ni's mother is a garbage collector. She hopes that this clip can serve as a talisman for her mother at work, so that she can feel her daughter's care.

"Wanwan, do you really want to take this order?" Her best friend Qianqian sat opposite her, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Zhou Wanwan sighed, put down the clip in her hand, looked up at Qianqian: “I know this sounds strange, but Ms. Huang Ni’s story touched me.”

"Her mother works in the garbage dump every day and her life is not easy. I thought if I could make this clip a little more special, maybe it could bring some warmth to her mother."

Qianqian nodded, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes: "I understand your idea, but this clip is too broken. How are you going to set the ruby ​​on it?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled bitterly: "To be honest, I don't know. I have never done such a design before. This is a brand new challenge for me."

Qianqian put down the teacup, walked to Zhou Wanwan, and patted her shoulder gently: "Don't worry, Wanwan. I believe you can do it. You are the most talented jewelry designer here."

Zhou Wanwan looked at Qianqian with gratitude and felt a little relieved.

She picked up the clip and examined it carefully. The metal part of the clip was rusted and the plastic handle was cracked in several places.

It is indeed a huge challenge to set rubies on something like this.

"I have to repair this clip first," Zhou Wanwan said to herself, "and then think about how to inlay the ruby."

Qianqian nodded: "Yes, repairing it is the first step. You can send it to a metal processing shop and let them help you with it."

Zhou Wanwan picked up the clip and stood up: "Okay, I'll go now."

Qianqian held her hand and said, "Don't worry, have a cup of tea first. You have been busy all morning, it won't be too late to take a rest before going."

Zhou Wanwan smiled, sat back in her chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

She looked at Qianqian and felt warm in her heart. With such a best friend by her side, she felt that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she could overcome them.

"Thank you, Qianqian," Zhou Wanwan said softly, "With you here, I feel more confident."

Qianqian smiled and shook her head: "Don't say that, Wanwan. We are friends, and we should support each other."

The two sat quietly for a while, and Zhou Wanwan's mood gradually calmed down.

She knew that the next work would be difficult, but she was ready.

"I have to go," Zhou Wanwan stood up, "I have to send this clamp to the processing plant as soon as possible."

Qianqian nodded: "Okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

Zhou Wanwan picked up the clip and walked out of the jewelry store. The sun was shining outside and people were coming and going on the street, but her heart was full of expectations for the future and a little bit of uneasiness.

She knew that this order was not just a simple jewelry design, but also an emotional sustenance.

She came to the metal processing plant and handed the clamp to the worker, who looked at the worn-out clamp with a puzzled expression on his face.

"What should we do with this clamp?" asked the worker.

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and said firmly: "I want to repair it to the point where I can inlay rubies."

The worker nodded and took the clamp: "Okay, we'll take care of it as soon as possible."

Zhou Wanwan felt a little more relaxed after leaving the processing plant.

She knew that in the next few days, she would face not only technical challenges but also emotional tests.

Back at the jewelry store, Qianqian was sorting out the jewelry on the counter. When she saw Zhou Wanwan coming back, she immediately went to greet her.

"How is it?" Qianqian asked.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "It has been handed over to the processing plant. The next step is to wait."

Qianqian nodded: "Okay, then we'll wait here."

The two sat in the store and talked about their recent lives.

Zhou Wanwan told Qianqian that she had been researching some new jewelry designs recently, hoping to bring more business to the store.

Qianqian shared some interesting things she encountered recently.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Zhou Wanwan's mood gradually calmed down.

She knew that no matter what difficulties she encountered, she would never give up.

A few days later, the processing factory called and told Zhou Wanwan that the clamp had been repaired.

Zhou Wanwan immediately rushed to the processing factory and was excited when she saw the repaired clip.

"Great," Zhou Wanwan said to herself, "Now we can start setting the rubies."

She picked up the clip and went back to the jewelry store. Qianqian saw her coming back and immediately went to greet her.

"How is it?" Qianqian asked.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "The clip has been repaired. Now we can start inlaying the ruby."

Qianqian nodded: "Okay, let's get started."
