Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her heart full of gratitude and admiration. She knew that the success of this light and shadow jewelry exhibition was not only a recognition of her years of hard work, but also the best proof of her cooperation with Master Zhongshan.

On the second day of the exhibition, the exhibition hall was still crowded with people, and the audience praised Zhou Wanwan's work.

Zhou Wanwan stood in a corner of the exhibition hall, quietly observing people's reactions, feeling both relieved and a little nervous. She knew that the success of this exhibition was not only a recognition of her personal talent, but also an affirmation of her cooperation with Master Zhongshan.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked up to Zhou Wanwan. His eyes revealed a hint of sharpness, as if he was looking for something.

"Hello, are you Zhou Wanwan?" The man's voice was low and powerful.

Zhou Wanwan was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Yes, I am Zhou Wanwan. May I ask who you are?"

The man smiled and held out his hand. “I’m Li Ming, a representative of an international jewelry company. I heard that you held a very successful exhibition here, so I came to visit you.”

Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised, but still shook hands with him politely: "Mr. Li, nice to meet you. May I ask what can I do for you?"

Li Ming looked around and whispered, "I came here to discuss a cooperation with you. Our company is very interested in your work and hopes to cooperate with you to launch a series of high-end jewelry products."

Zhou Wanwan's heartbeat could not help but speed up a bit. She knew that this was not only a rare opportunity, but also a huge challenge. She took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mr. Li, thank you for your recognition. However, I need to discuss this matter with Master Zhongshan."

Li Ming nodded: "Of course, that's what I should do. However, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible. Our company's time is very precious."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and watched Li Ming leave. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions, both expectations for the future and worries about the unknown. She knew that this decision was not only related to her personal future, but also to her cooperative relationship with Master Zhongshan.

She walked quickly to the lounge where Master Zhongshan was and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in." Master Zhongshan's voice came from inside.

Zhou Wanwan pushed open the door and saw Master Zhongshan sitting on the sofa with a cup of tea in his hand. He looked up and saw that it was Zhou Wanwan, and smiled slightly: "Wanwan, what's the matter?"

Zhou Wanwan walked up to Master Zhongshan and told him everything about the conversation she had just had with Li Ming. After listening, Master Zhongshan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Wanwan, this is a rare opportunity. However, you have to think carefully, as this may affect our current cooperation."

Zhou Wanwan nodded: “I know, Master Zhongshan. I have been thinking about this issue. I hope to continue to work with you, but I also hope to have more opportunities to show my work.”

Master Zhongshan smiled and said, "Wanwan, your talent is unquestionable. However, you must remember that cooperation is not only about the exchange of interests, but also about the establishment of trust. If you think this opportunity is very important to you, then go for it."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes flashed with gratitude: "Thank you, Master Zhongshan. I will consider it carefully."

At this moment, there was a commotion on the other side of the exhibition hall. Zhou Wanwan and Master Zhongshan looked at each other and walked quickly to the source of the sound. They saw a young woman standing in front of an exhibit, arguing with the staff excitedly.

"This work was not designed by Zhou Wanwan at all!" The woman's voice was sharp and harsh.

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank suddenly, and she walked forward quickly, trying to calm the situation.

"Excuse me, what happened?" Zhou Wanwan's voice was calm and firm.

The woman turned around and saw Zhou Wanwan. She sneered, "Are you Zhou Wanwan? Do you dare to say that you designed this work?"

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and answered calmly: "Yes, I did design this piece. Do you have any questions?"

The woman took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Zhou Wanwan: "This is my friend's work, and it's almost exactly the same as yours. Do you dare to say that you didn't plagiarize?"

Zhou Wanwan took the photo and took a closer look. She was shocked. The work in the photo was indeed very similar to her design, but there were some differences in the details. She knew that someone might have done it on purpose to destroy her reputation.
